"Hey... Felix..." Seungmin whispered under his breath. Felix had a firm hold on his wrists as he tied them up, not that they had the strength to fight anymore, even if they wanted to.

"Shut up." Felix responded, trying to focus both on the task at hand and what they were saying to Jisung and Hyunjin.

"You know," he continued, ignoring the command given to him, "I was wondering. What are you going to do now that Y/N has her guardian angel back?" He stopped momentarily, but then pulled the ropes even tighter.

"None of your business."

"Okay, okay... I mean, you're a warrior, so... I guess you can go back to living in the barracks." He said nothing. "It makes sense. You weren't fit to be her guardian angel anyway."

"Yes I am." He snarled, moving on to Jeongin's bonds once he was satisfied with Seungmin's.

"Sure, sure... Which is why she tried to kill herself." Felix moved to raise his hand as if he was going to slap the man, but he scrunched up slightly in defense. "Hold on, I have a proposition for you." Felix's hand dropped. He shouldn't even consider it. He hated both of these, as well as all fallen angels. He had even told Y/N that they were on par with demons when they'd first met. He didn't accept, gave no indication that he wanted to hear the offer. But... he also didn't deny his speech.

"All I want is to get back into heaven. Like Jeongin said, we're dying down here, and I'm not sure how much longer we can go, especially with you asshats constantly showing up to beat the grace out of us." Felix made a face at this, but stayed quiet, moving from Jeongin's wrists to his ankles. "So... my plan was to use some of Hyunjin's soul to open the gates back home. Easy peasy."

"Why would I help you do that?" Felix growled. "I don't want your filth in heaven. And I might agree, then you would use me to get in."

"I have no interest in causing any harm to anyone, we want the least amount of casualties as possible." Seungmin said smoothly. "Hyunjin is already weak. And if we were to use another little piece of his soul, well... he'd live, I promise that much. Still, I don't know if he'd be able to function as a full-fledged guardian angel anymore. It's just too risky, you know?" Felix was getting suspicious about where he was going with this.

"So if by some turn of events, everything works out," He made his big pitch. "Jeongin and I get to heaven, and we stay out of your way. Everyone lives to tell the tale, and you, well... Since heaven is so short on guardian angels, and you just happen to already have experience with this particular human in need... Well, there's an obvious choice for a replacement."

Felix knew that this was the worst possible idea that he could ever go through with. It was shady, not to mention that there were a million things that could go wrong. He hated fallen angels. He hated them. He... Seungmin saw the conflict dancing in his eyes, trying to find the one thing that would shift his mentality, get him where they needed him to be.

"Honestly," Seungmin added on, "You'd be doing everyone a favor. That is, if you really think you'd be a better guardian angel for her than Hyunjin." Did he think that? He couldn't. Still, Hyunjin had abandoned her, right? Who had been there for her when she was at her worst? "You owe it to her. To Y/N." That was all it took.

Within a split second, Felix had removed them from their bindings. Seungmin rubbed his wrist, groaning even at the short time he was in the bonds, but Felix glared to indicate his silence. The angel looked over to the others, making sure that none of them were paying attention. He could vaguely make out their conversation.

"He's not going to be an easy fix, but... He's still alive. We should get him somewhere safe as soon as possible."

"Should we take him to heaven?"

"Without his complete soul, I don't know how dangerous that would be. And I don't want to try and fix their souls until he's physically more stable." They were still talking, but they wouldn't be for long. Where to go, where to go... He couldn't go back to Y/N's, that was too predictable. Seungmin's base would be on their radar as well. They needed somewhere quick, just so they could plan their next move. Without Hyunjin, they'd have a hard time being tracked, but it was still a risk he didn't want to take. He'd been so busy as a guardian angel, though, he wasn't all that familiar with many places in the human world. Seungmin, noticing his struggle, muttered,

"I know where to go." In a flash of light, Felix opened a gate, helping the heavily wounded fallen angels through the rift and shutting it abruptly behind them, leaving no trace behind.

"What the..." Chan said, looking in horror at the empty space behind them.

"Shit, they must have taken Felix." Jisung said angrily under his breath.

"This is your fault for taking so fucking long!" Minho glared at him.

"I'm the one that brought us here, you ass! If this is anyone's fault, it's-"

"Both of you stop it!" Y/N yelled, surprising everyone. While her hands were shaking, and there were tears staining her skin, she was still able to be fed up. "Felix is strong, and Hyunjin's made it this long, we need to focus on healing him! Fighting isn't going to do shit, so just sit down!" Of course, she meant this figuratively- it was good that this was the case, too, because everyone was too frozen to actually do anything. Swallowing in nervousness, she added,

"And you need to explain why they were thrown out of heaven. For real."
