"You're not welcome here." Seungmin seethed as Felix, Chan, and two other men appeared behind her. Jeongin had readied himself, letting his wings out in all visibility, Seungmin following suit.

"Us? You're the one that took Y/N." Felix was on the verge of shouting.

"We're not here for a fight." Chan cut in, trying to keep the situation from getting out of hand. "We just want her back, unharmed."

"I'm not trying to hurt her!" Seungmin argued. "But I'm not above hurting you!"

"I know you don't want to do that."

"You have five seconds to get out of my house." He snarled, "Before I throw you out."

"Suit yourself." One of the men next to Chan shrugged, pulling out a knife from his belt. It didn't look like a normal hunting knife, though, or even a kitchen knife. It was sleek and dark, and seemed to be carved up with symbols that she didn't recognize. The sight seemed to put her captors off slightly, but they quickly returned to standing their ground. Jeongin pulley's something out of his pocket, slipping it onto his hands. Taking a closer look, she realized that they were brass knuckles, also carved with some sort of weird language.

"We can talk about this," Chan said, putting his hands up. "There's no reason to-" Before he could even finish his sentence, the man with the knife lunged towards the side where she was closer to. As he came close to her she realized he was slightly taller than the other members of the angel's group, eyes unwavering as he sliced towards her kidnappers. Jeongin was quick to retaliate with a punch to the gut, a blow so forceful that the man coughed up a tiny spatter of blood.

"Ugh!" Bang Chan yelled in frustration, rolling his sleeves up as his hands began to... glow? She could barely tell, as the difference was almost invisible, but she could nonetheless sense it. "This is not what we wanted Minho! Just-" Turning to Felix, he demanded, "Get Y/N out of here, she doesn't need to see this!"

"But," Felix argued, "I want to fight to, I-"

"Go! Now!" Eyes wavering slightly, Felix let out a harsh breath of dissatisfaction, before stomping over to Y/N, spreading his wings, and slipping a hand around her hip.

"Close your eyes." He said, the air around her beginning to vibrate uncomfortably. A bit scared, she did as he asked, waiting until his word to reopen them. She couldn't tell if they were shut for two seconds or two years, brain swimming with whatever energy he was giving off. Finally, he spoke again. "Alright, you're fine." As soon as he was sure she was stable, eyes fluttering open, he removed his hand, moving to sit down on the bed as he folded his wings. They were back in her room.

"Are they going to be okay?" She asked, eyebrows tilted in concern.

"They'll be fine. It's two versus three."

"Oh, right..." she considered. "Who were the other two guys?"

"Those were the people we were talking about before." Felix said. "The ones Chan wanted to call?"

"Changbin?" She asked, the only name they had mentioned before.

"Yeah," he nodded, "That was the one who was still standing with Chan. The one with the knife is named Minho. He was in my squad for a long time. It's nice to see he hasn't changed." Hadn't changed? So it was comforting to watch an angel take all of a minute to try and kill someone? Maybe it was her previous misconceptions, but she had always imagined angels as otherworldly, do-no-wrong beings. It was strange to see them acting like... guys.

"Chan wanted to avoid a fight," Felix kept explaining, leaning back. "He really just wanted to know why they were trying to get to you, because then we'd be able to defend you better. All we know is that they've asked you for a favor."

"Oh!" Her eyes lit up, actually happy to be able to be of help. "He explained it to me!"

"He... what?"

"Yeah!"

"...So the evil villain just told you his whole master plan? Has Seungmin never seen a bad movie, or...?" She shook his head.

"It's not like that... I think he just wants me to trust him. He said that he wasn't trying to hurt me. Trying to get me to believe that when I don't even know what he's doing is a little suspicious, don't you think?"

"I mean, I guess..." Felix mumbled, still a bit annoyed. "So, what did they want?"

"He..." she started, reluctant. What would it mean for Seungmin and Jeongin if they found out? Even more confusing, why was she still attached to them? Something about this didn't feel right. "He wants to get back into heaven." She said with a sigh. "Apparently, Hyunjin's soul is all mixed up with mine, and he thinks that if he can remove the pieces, he can use them to get back in, sort of like an I.D. card, since none of you will help him get in."

"Are you serious?" Felix asked. "That'll never work, right? It's- it's impossible, I-"

"How should I know?" She asked. "This is all completely new to me."

"How did Hyunjin even get involved with your soul? He's been gone for ages, and I've never sensed it, I... Do those bastards know where he is? I swear, I'll fuck up every last one of-"

"No," she raised her hands, trying to get him to settle, "I asked, he said he had no idea."

"And you believe him?"

"Yeah, I tend to." She said defensively. "There's nothing we can do, now, we should just wait for Chan." Sighing, Felix looked to the right, avoiding eye contact with her.

"You should get some rest, you must be tired."

"Not really," she said, a bit offended that he thought she was so fragile. "And every time I try and sleep, something bad happens, so I'd rather wait up. I'll be fine." Felix wasn't in the mood to argue, muttering to himself under his breath.

"This is all so... strange." As he said this, the room filled with a bright light. At first, she thought the other angels were back, causing her a bit of relief. If it ended that quickly, they had surely one. Still, as the glow grew, she realized that it wasn't nearly as whiteish-blue as that of the angels. Rather, it was more of a grayish light, with red undertones...

Appearing from thin air, a man about Felix's height was standing in the middle of the room. He was dressed completely in black, with two curving blades set in either side of his belt. He had a smug look on his face, matching the close-hugging, show-offish style he was dressed in, complete with chains and boots.

"I agree," he laughed, looking at both of their shocked faces. "Very, very strange."
