“Why do you have hickies?”

“Because...” Chanyeol laughed.

“You and… Baekhyun?” Kris guessed.

“Yeah, haha. I feel bad for Baekhyun though because I went over board and—"

“LALALA I DON’T WANT TO KNOW!” Kris rasied his voice and covered his ears.

“Anyway.” Chanyeol put his track suit jacket back on, “We’d better start warming up and stuff.”

“Okay, sounds good. What time is it now?” Kris looked around.

“We won’t know it's lunch time until they bring it out. Hey, you over there!” Chanyeol shouted across the room to a patrol guard. The guard simply ignored him and continued staring at him. “HEY,” Chanyeol shouted louder, his hands igniting into flames. Kris took a step back, slightly fearful, and the guard ran over.

“You aren’t allowed to use your powers yet,” He said flatly.

“What time is it?” Chanyeol asked.

“Please refrain from using your powers until it is training time.”

“I said, what time is it?” Chanyeol growled.

“It’s 10 minutes before 12 p.m.” the guard cowered.

“Thanks, that’s all I needed.” Chanyeol smiled creepily and waved the officer away.

“I wonder what lunch is going to be,” Kris questioned aloud.

“Probably meat and potato stew. That is what Baekhyun said they served him.”

“Well, I’m interested in using my powers for the first time.”

“You’ve never used your powers before? Not even once?” Chanyeol was surprised.

“Nope.”

“How do you even know you have any?” Chanyeol teased.

Kris simply lifted up his shirt to reveal the wing tattooed on his chest. He took Chanyeol’s comment a little too seriously. Chanyeol only smiled at him. Both made small conversation until the food that Chanyeol correctly guess arrived. They were given a small matt to eat on, so the two slowly ate. Afterward the guards cleaned up the mess and brought Kris to a separate room. Kris was led behind another set of steel doors.

“I’m instructor Kim. What is your power?”

“Flight I think, since I have a wing tattooed on me. I haven’t ever used my powers though.”

“Well, try now,” the instructor stated.

“I don’t know how…”

“Fine. I’ll give you a little encouragement.” Mr. Kim smiled nefariously. He pressed a button and Kris suddenly felt a sharp pain in his wrist and his knees collapsed.

“What the hell was that?” Kris looked at the thin bracelet he’d put on the first day he arrived at this demented place.

“We told you, if you misbehave we can shock you. Start flying. NOW bird-boy!”

“But I don’t—"

Kris was interrupted mid-sentence by the same sharp pain.

“Stop!”

“Fly!”

Kris screamed when the pain started intensifying.

“Come on freak, fly for me,” the instructor shouted.

“ing cut it out! Just give me time to—"

Another antagonizing shock. Kris was starting to feel lightheaded but infuriated. Kris closed his eyes and shouted again, much louder than the first time, releasing the built up stress. He felt stronger, but lighter. When Kris opened his eyes he realized he was no longer touching the ground. He’d grown wings?!

“What the?” Kris saw a demonic reflection from the steel walls. His body was covered in black tattoo markings and giant raven black wings emerged from his back. Kris slowly started hovering downward.

“There. All you need was encouragement.” The instructor smiled.

“,” Kris whispered under his breath.

“Now, I know we said we’d show you a video but it looks like I don’t need to. So, practice flying around and then we’ll talk for a bit.”

Kris flew up and down and easily got used to movement in the air. It was almost natural for him; he felt free. His wing span was almost twice as long as his body.

“Okay, I think you’ve got the hang of it. Come down here so we can talk,” the instructor called out.

Kris reluctantly lowered himself to the ground while the instructor flipped through pages in his notebook.

“Okay, so let’s make this quick and easy. I’m just going to tell you the weaknesses of the other Titans. Lemme go through the list.”

“Weaknesses?”

“Yeah, every Titan has a certain weakness to their power. You aren’t Gods you know. In fact, your weakness is how long you can last flying before your wings get tired.”

“Oh, interesting.”

“The water Titan’s weakness is fire and visa-versa. The frost Titan’s weakness is fire as well. The light Titan’s weakness is actually that his power is pretty useless. Same for the healing Titan. The wind Titan’s weakness is he has to hold his breath when he controls the wind. The strength Titan has a very short temper, the teleportation Titan’s teleportation has 5-6 second delay, and the lightning Titan can only work with the static electricity in the air. Now, the ones that will be the most difficult to beat are the mind control Titan and time control Titan. The time control Titan’s weakness is that every time he goes into the past, something has to change and the mind control Titan’s weakness is that he isn’t very strong. So, use this information to your advantage in your fights. Good luck, kid.”

Mr. Kim patted Kris on the back and brought him back into the same room as Chanyeol, though the latter look quite disturbed…
