The Fantastic Eight: Abnormals

chapter three: oh, that's funny

The 6 boys circled around the couch, watching your sleeping form.

They all stared, watching as you laid unwaveringly.
You looked pale, like you had seen a ghost. You hadn't- obviously, but what you had seen before passing out was close enough.

You watched a boy transform into a crab, another boy deflect a knife that had been thrown at his chest and this Taehyung kid barely even flinch when he was face to face with the blade that was suspended in the fucking air.

So yeah, maybe passing out to recollect your thoughts was the right call. You just wish you hadn't done it in front of so many people.

"She looks dead." The boy with pink hair muttered, scratching the bubble gum locks that sat against the back of his neck.

"She's not dead Jimin- she'll be walking up soon." Taehyung answered softly, "Maybe we should've knocked on the door and just asked to talk."

Jungkook scoffed, "Right, like knocking on her door saying 'Hey! I'm Taehyung and these are my friends! We've been stalking your every move for months because you have these secret unlocked powers that you don't know about and guess what! Namjoon can turn into a fish!"

Namjoon glared, shoving the younger softly before recoiling his hand in pain. Of course Jungkook has to harden his chest. "Ow! Leave me out of this."

"Hey! It was your fault she fainted! You decided to turn into a fucking crab with no explanation!" Jin accused, crossing his arms in front of his chest.

Namjoon rolled his eyes, "Would you prefer me having a knife in my chest right now? Like that would make it all so much better."

"You could have at least shifted into something cute, like a puppy, or a hamster." Hoseok added.

Taehyung stared down at you still, watching as your chest rose with the air you breathed. His eyebrows were furrowed slightly as thoughts raced through his mind. He was perplexed to say the least, between all the boys in the room with him combined and you- your location and your powers were the most difficult to figure out.

He still doesn't know what the hell your capable of, whenever he dreamt or thought of you it was all a mess. It was jumbled into different visions that didn't make any fucking sense and it frustrated him to no end- he just wanted to know so he could find a way to help, to keep you safe.

Taehyung had to keep everyone safe- he supposed that was his role anyways, why he'd been gifted foresight in the first place. The same thought had ran through his head the moment his powers had first appeared.

'Find them, help them, find them, help them-'

So that he did. It was a long time back now, over three months ago he had found Namjoon, then Jungkook, Jimin, Yoongi, Hoseok and Jin.

And then finally, finally- he found you as well.

But as it is known, that wasn't an easy task- and he doubts that getting you to come with them, to believe them wasn't going to be either. Despite all that,Taehyung knew he had to try because if he looked hard enough, far enough- even if it was just a sliver of sight- he could see them being happy together- all of them.

He just hopes his powers continue being as reliable as they had been, thank god for that.

You began to stir and the boys all held their breaths before scrambling away from the couch and sitting in various places in the living room- away from you. They didn't want to risk a surprise knife in their chests ever again.

You felt your chest lighten abruptly as you sat up gasping a big breath of air eagerly into your lungs. You sighed in relief, glad that it had all just been a dream-
