"Alright, so Lay's agreed to go next." Suho was talking to the group while Y/N and Chanyeol were in the bathroom. "We'll have Y/N do that next."

"Speaking of Y/N, we've all had one, or both turns. She hasn't done any yet." Kyungsoo said with a worried look on his face.

"Yeah, good point, she's skipping out." Kris accused. Shaking his head, the first man amended,

"I didn't mean it like that. Moreso that I'm a little nervous- the challenges keep getting worse, I don't want her stuck doing the worst challenges."

"She'll be fine," Baekhyun said, "Even if she doesn't have a power, the rest of us do."

"You all act like having a power makes you better than me." She said from behind them, causing all of them to spin around in surprise. She and Chanyeol had returned, evidently more quietly than they had expected, as they hadn't even noticed the two walk up.

"Chanyeol, your hair-" Sehun started to say, but Tao was more concerned with Y/N's comment.

"Y/N, no one thinks that. We're just concerned for your safety-"

"Yeah, because you think I'm less safe than you, because I don't have a power. It's not just about abilities, sometimes you have to rely on being smart. Or talented. Don't act like you're special just because you can burn things or pick up rocks with your mind."

"Hypothetically that would make us better." Kris muttered under his breath, earning him an elbow to the side from Lay.

"Ugh, whatever, let's just do the next challenge."

"But-" Suho started.

"Who's next?" She interrupted him, unwilling to talk about it anymore. She hadn't even given them a chance to ask Chanyeol about his hair- they'd probably figure it out.

"Um, me." Lay said, raising a hand slightly.

"What happened to having Luhan do it?"

"His telekinesis is the limited power, so we figured it's better if, you know... someone with..."

"Someone with powers did the challenge." She finished for him, still irritated. "Whatever, that's fine." She pressed his name, noting that it grayed out as soon as she did so. Now that she thought about it, Kai and Baekhyun's had been grayed out as well. Maybe the app knew when each person had taken their max number of turns. The trial loaded up, offering a new task for them to complete.

"Drive 100mph on the freeway," she read out, "With everyone in the car." Continuing, she looked at the italicized text. "You must drive one hundred miles per hour, at least, on a major road (e.g. a road with a speed limit 65 or above and at least two lanes) for at least 120 seconds. If your speed drops below one hundred, your time will reset."

"Shit." Lay breathed in. "That's pretty wild."

"What does it matter? You have a license, you know how to drive." Chen pointed out.

"Yeah, wait, didn't Jackie Chan teach you to drive?" Baekhyun laughed to himself, finding it hilarious.

"That's not what I'm worried about." Lay snapped. "I just don't want to get ticketed. We're not allowed to tell the police about the trials, or else we're disqualified. And I'm not really interested in finding out exactly what the catch 'failure' means."
