We Could Be Heroes
11) Sungmin
He’s being shaken awake. Roughly. Like whoever is shaking him is on the verge of panic.
“Sungmin-ah!” He hears someone say, the voice sounds muffled and far away. “Wake up!” Sungmin doesn’t want to wake up, he wants this person to leave him alone. “Sungmin-ah, wake up!”
Reluctantly Sungmin opens his eyes, he sees Shindong standing over him, he looks frightened, frantic.
“S’matter?” Sungmin slurs. He tries to sit up but his legs are weighed down, Kyuhyun is lying on them. Sungmin tries to shake him off, Kyuhyun’s eyes flutter but he doesn’t wake up.
“Sungmin-ah, I’m so sorry.”
“What for?”
“Just come on.”
Shindong hauls him to his feet, Sungmin’s still only half awake and he rubs at his eyes sleepily as he follows Shindong out to the main room. There is something he’s forgotten, we was sure of it. Something important he was doing or talking about before he fell asleep. Hey—why did he fall asleep? The main room is quiet and still save for the members soft snoring.
“Shindongie…what happened?” Sungmin looks around at the sleeping group. Yesung is kneeling by Ryeowook’s chair, his head in Ryeowook’s lap, Sungmin wonders when he’d arrived. Then Sungmin’s eyes fell on a small figure in the middle of the room and he remembers.
“Mr Pickles!” Sungmin cries and he runs over to the stuffed toy. Mr Pickles is lying on his back, one of Ryeowook’s chefs knives lodged in his chest. Every so often one of his little limbs twitches. “You stabbed him!”
“I had to!”
“He’s a stuffed bunny!”
“A homicidal stuffed bunny! Sungmin-ah, I’m sorry. He tried to eat me.”
“It’s ok.” Sungmin sniffs though—even to his own ears—he doesn’t sound convinced. Carefully , he removes the knife from Mr Pickles’ chest, some stuffing comes with it and Sungmin chokes back a sob. He hugs the toy to his chest and Shindong takes a step back.”
“You’re not going to…”
“No.” Sungmin says sullenly. “Go wake up the others.” Sungmin stomps out to the hall to wake Kyuhyun. When everyone was awake and assembled in the main room, Sungmin tries to explain his power. They had to explain everything, slowly, to Yesung who had returned after spending the night at his parents only to find everyone sleeping. He’d thought sleeping was a good idea so he curled up next to Ryeowook.
“Minnie-ah!” Heechul shrieks gleefully. “Kiss the toaster! I want to see what happens.”
“No!” Henry shouts, he empathically waves his arms. “No! Haven’t any of you seen Maximum Overdrive?”
Everyone just looks at him blankly.
“Donghae-ah, go fetch Zhou Mi.” Leeteuk asks. He sounds tired. Sungmin supposes it has been a long day, it’s getting dark outside, he wonders how long they were asleep.
“Anyone know what time it is?” Sungmin wonders out loud. He has his own watch on but it’s too much effort to look for himself. He looks out the window at the storm now raging outside.
“It’s just gone midday.” Kyuhyun says. “…wait, that can’t be right.”
Sungmin walks slowly to the window, tries to peer through the gloom.
“Where did the sun go?”
Sungmin hears a soft ‘pop’ behind him and he doesn’t have to turn round to know that Donghae has materialized with Zhou Mi in tow, he can hear Zhou Mi retching.
“It’s not that bad.” He hears Donghae grumble.
“It is for anyone who’s not you.” Leeteuk retorts.
“Hey, look!” Sungmin says and he points out of the window to where there is a sudden break in the clouds and a small ball of light is shining feebly. “The sun is coming back.” The wind is starting to die down and the strange sudden storm looks like it’s going to be over before it even really began.
“Isn’t this exciting!” Zhou Mi says and Sungmin turns round to look at him. Zhou Mi has recovered quickly from his teleportation experience and is smiling bright and sunny as he looks around the group. Sungmin looks back at the window. The sun is brighter now and it might just be his imagination but it looks closer too. Behind him Sungmin hears Zhou Mi laugh and he looks back around to see Kyuhyun tickling him. Sungmin turns back to the window. The sun is definitely brighter now and definitely closer.
“Huh.” Sungmin muses. “That can’t be good.”
12) Zhou Mi
He’s sort of upset and a little hurt when Sungmin comes up and pinches him. Hard.
“I’m sorry, Mi.” Sungmin says and he looks like he means it, but being sorry and meaning it doesn’t make it any less painful.
“Oww.” Zhou Mi whines and he hugs his forearm where Sungmin pinched him.
“Minne-ah, what did you do that for?”
“Just testing out a theory.” Sungmin says. “I’m really sorry, Zhou Mi.” Sungmin turns and points out of the window. “Guys, look!”
Zhou Mi looks though he’s not really sure what he’s supposed to be looking for. The sky outside has clouded over again just as the weather was taking a turn for the better. Stupid rain, stupid storm. Zhou Mi doesn’t like lightning.
“Kyuhyun-ah,” Sungmin says. “Make Zhou Mi laugh again.”
“Hey, wait, wh…” Zhou Mi starts but he doesn’t get to finish because Kyuhyun starts tickling him and Kyuhyun knows exactly which spots to go for. Within seconds Zhou Mi is gasping for breath as Kyuhyun’s lithe fingers work their way under his shirt.
“Kui Xian! Stop it!” Zhou Mi howls but Kyuhyun ignores him. Eventually Zhou Mi manages to straighten up and shove Kyuhyun away. When he can breathe again he finds everyone—well everyone save him and Kyuhyun—are staring out the window. They all look a little stunned, except for Kibum who looks grim, but that’s kind of his default expression. The sky outside has cleared again and the sun is shining brightly.
“What’s the matter?” Kyuhyun asks but no one answers, instead Sungmin walks over and pinches Zhou Mi again.
“Ow.” Zhou Mi pouts. “Sungminnie I don’t think I like you anymore.” No one pays any attention to him though, they are all too busy looking outside at the now darkened sky. Stupid, stupid weather.
“Kyuhunnie, make Zhou Mi laugh again.” Sungmin says.
“No!” Zhou Mi shouts and he tries to move away from Kyuhyun—who is taking far too much glee in this—but the younger boy just tackles him to the ground. Kyuhyun tickles him. Zhou Mi laughs. The sun shines.
“Huh.” Heechul says, his voice nonchalant. “Seasoning’s smile can make the sun shine. Literally.”
“And when he’s sad it rains.” Sungmin adds.
“Hmmmm.” Kyuhyun says thoughtfully. He pounces on Zhou Mi again and outside it gets hotter and hotter.
“Oh,” Yesung complains. “It’s too hot now. Zhou Mi stop being so happy.”
Kyuhyun stops his ministrations long enough to look up at Yesung and say, “Telling Zhou Mi not to be happy is like telling water not to be wet.” And then he goes back to attacking Zhou Mi…but it’s like Zhou Mi can’t feel it anymore. Zhou Mi suddenly feels like someone has poured ice all over him, he feels like he might never be happy again. Outside rain starts to fall again, harder, louder.
“Zhou Mi?” Kyuhyun says, worried. “Are you ok?”
Zhou Mi can only shake his head. Outside a strong, violent wind kicks up. It rattles at the windows.
“Oh that can’t be good.” Kibum mumbles.
“Seasoning, it’s only Yesung.” Heechul says, his voice soft and calm. “You Don’t have to listen to him.”
Zhou Mi nods, tries for smile, doesn’t quite manage it. Kyuhyun whirls on Yesung.
“What did you do to him?”
Yesung just shrugs helplessly. “I don’t know, I didn’t do anything.”
“Clearly you did something, hyung” Kibum says and he has this thoughtful expression on his face that Zhou Mi doesn’t think bodes well for anyone. Zhou Mi doesn’t really care about what’s coming next, it’s not like there is anything that could make his mood worse. Kibum looks around the room, his eyes fall on a just of water on the table. “Here.” He says to Yesung. “Tell this water not to be wet.”
Yesung looks at Kibum like he’s insane because, yes, Kibum has clearly lost it. Still, he reaches out hesitantly and takes the jug.
“Water,” Yesung says. “Don’t be wet.” Nothing happens for a few seconds and then…the water in the jug seems to recede and shrivel until all that’s left inside is a clear, withered husk.
“That shouldn’t be chemically possible.” Kibum says as he examines the transformed contents.
“Seriously?” Heechul says incredulously, he looks at Yesung then at the jug then at Zhou Mi an then back at Yesung. “Seriously? He gets the power to make people and things do whatever he says?”
“Oh god.” Shindong whimpers. “We’re all gonna die.”
“Oh.” Yesung says. He blinks slowly and looks round at the rest of the group, and then he smiles. “Heechul-Hyung,” He says and it’s like time stops as everyone takes a collective breath. “Could you make me some food?”
13) Yesung
Yesung thinks that Heechul’s head just might explode. Little wisps of smoke puff out of his ears and his face starts to turn an alarming shade of red as he fights not to do what Yesung told him to do.
“No, dongseang. I won’t.” Heechul growls. However his body is forcing him to do otherwise. His legs start moving him towards the kitchen and Heechul clearly doesn’t want this to happen. He grabs on to Donghae to try and stop himself from going but he only succeeds in dragging the younger boy with him and then Donghae teleports away and Heechul has nothing to hold onto anymore. “Hankyung!” Heechul cries. “Help me!”
“Would if I could, Hyung.” Han Geng says with a shrug. “But I can’t reach you from up here.”
“Hyung, please!” Ryeowook says, he grips tight to Yesung’s arm. “Take it back, tell him he doesn’t have to do it. He’ll set fire to the kitchen!”
“OK.” Yesung relents and everyone breathes out a sigh of relief. “Heechul-hyung, you don’t have to make me food.”
“Wise move.” Heechul says darkly as he slumps to the floor. “And while you’re making wise choices tell Seasoning to cheer up before our whole street floods.”
Yesung does so and immediately the sun starts to shine.
Leeteuk sighs—though it sounds more like a sob—and he buries his head in his hands.
“Oh god.” Leeteuk mumbles, his voice muffled. “Didn’t anyone give any thought to what they were doing and who they were doing it to?”
“It’s ok Seasoning.” Heechul says to Zhou Mi. “Kibum will fix you.”
“Why is it always me?” Kibum grumbles, but he takes Zhou Mi by the arm and hauls him off anyway. “Though if it’s really his mood controlling the weather how am I going to fix that? Teach him to feel neutrally about everything?”
Yesung gets this strange, creepy feeling like everyone is looking at him. Oh wait, they are.
“What?” Yesung says, more than a little bemuse.
“I vote for cutting out his vocal cords.” Heechul says. “And I volunteer to do it.”
Yesung shrinks back a little, he tries to hide behind Ryeowook but Ryeowook is having none of it. Yesung thinks he might be a little mad about the potential destruction of his kitchen.
“I don’t think we need to do anything that drastic, Hyung.” Kyuhyun says cheerfully. “I got this.”
Kyuhyun turns towards the kitchen, points and sort of squints his eyes. Nothing happens for a bit and Yesung snickers, Kyuhyun looks a little like he’s constipated. Yesung doesn’t think anything will actually happen…and then something does.
Slowly, something floats out of the kitchen, it looks like a dish cloth. It bobs along like a fish caught in a current until it reaches Kyuhyun. Kyuhyun then directs it over towards Yesung. Yesung just watches bemused—and a little fascinated—he doesn’t think to move out of the way until it’s too late. The dish cloth, god he hopes it’s a clean one, wraps itself around Yesung’s mouth.
“Mmphf.” Yesung says in protest.
“There.” Kyuhyun says with a smirk. “Fixed him.”
“Cho Kyuhyun.” Leeteuk says slowly. His voice is even and his eyes twitch in that way they do when Leeteuk is really, really annoyed. This is one of those times when Yesung is very, very glad he’s not Kyuhyun. “Just how long have you been able to do that?”
14) Kyuhyun
The answer to Leeteuk’s question is since about 6am that morning but he’s not about to admit to that. He found out pretty much as soon as he woke up, he wanted his PSP and it was all the way at the other end of the room and he really feel like getting out of bed to go get it. Sungmin was inconsiderate enough to still be asleep so Kyuhyun couldn’t cajole him into getting up and getting it either.
In the end, though, it didn’t matter because the next thing that Kyuhyun knew the PSP was in his hand. At the time he’d just put the phenomenon down to his own awesomeness.
“Since just now.” Kyuhyun lies smoothly. Leeteuk just stares at him, eyes narrowed, like he doesn’t believe him. But really, is it Kyuhyun’s fault that no one thought to ask him if he’d gotten his super power already? No.
Kyuhyun drops himself into a chair and starts floating things up in the air, some fruit, the jug with Yesung’s withered water in it. Ahhh, he’d been wanting to do this all day. Heechul starts blowing smoke rings again and Kyuhyun thinks it’ll be neat to try and float his object through the rings before they disappear.
“Kyuhyun, stop it. Someone might want to eat those apples. And Heechul stop blowing smoke rings you’re going to…” Leeteuk is once again interrupted by a shrill beeping. “…Set of the smoke alarms again.” Leeteuk sighs again. “I quit.” He moans. “That is it, I quit. I…”
Leeteuk doesn’t get to finish his tirade because Shindong chooses that moment to belch and everyone falls fast asleep.
15) Epilogue
The important thing is that they didn’t kill each other or destroy the world…yet.
The next day is calmer, there are no more nasty surprises to be had and for that Leeteuk is eternally grateful. It’s the days and weeks that follow which give Leeteuk all those new grey hairs.
*
Siwon eventually stops seeing naked people, much to his great relief and Heechul’s even greater annoyance. Heechul had taken a liking to tricking Siwon into looking at him and then rolling his hips suggestively.
It was Kibum who had the idea of tying some of Siwon’s weights around Han Geng’s waist to, well, to weigh him down. It’s an awkward solution but it sort of works. It’s only temporary…hopefully. Sometimes though, Han Geng will untie the weights and float back up to the ceiling, just to annoy Heechul.
Heechul doesn’t approve of Han Geng and Siwon having super powers anymore.
Eunhyuk does stop turning into stone every time he gets a fright, which was often since Kibum and Donghae took to sneaking up on him both invisibly and teleporting out of nowhere.
Kibum discovers that he can make anyone or anything he’s touching invisible too. Leeteuk can feel the ulcer growing, he can.
Zhou Mi is actually the easiest to deal with. All they had to do in the end was get Yesung to tell him to control the weather with his mind and not his mood and it was done. Though convincing Zhou Mi that he has to let it rain sometimes was hard.
Through trial and error thy find that Yesung’s power only work when he actually talks. So he sings all the time now which is actually kind of annoying but since the time when he told Kyuhyun to shove his head in the toilet…well, they put up with the constant singing.
Much to Leeteuk’s distress he finds that the strange shadow wings that aren’t really even wings, stupid things, won’t go away. And they can’t even be covered by clothes since they are not even really there. They are like a shadow that clings to Leeteuk’s back. It now looks like Leeteuk is permanently wearing some kind of cape. Kyuhyun says this is a good thing because it means that Leeteuk has finally fulfilled his life long dream of becoming a sailor moon character…just maybe not the one he would have wanted.
Kangin finds the whole situation hilarious and frequently communicates with Ryeowook, instructing him to point and laugh the way that Kangin would if he were there with them. But Ryeowook won’t do that, in fact he’s taken to not telling anyone when he is talking to Kangin because Leeteuk has this habit of grabbing Ryeowook’s face, looking into his eyes and saying:
“Youngwoon! Are you in there? Come home now, I need help.”
This face squishing really hurts and Leeteuk won’t let go until Kibum or Han Geng—someone with a rational mind—pulls him off.
Kangin thinks that Eunhyuk’s power is especially funny an incredibly lame. Eunhyuk says he can’t wait for Kangin to come back home.
“The next time he tries to hit me he’s going to break his fist.”
Sungmin is banned from kissing anymore of his stuffed toys, or any inanimate object for whatever reason ever. They did a bit on a variety show where they had to learn CPR. The resuscitation dummy might have been armless and legless but it was vicious. And Shindong could only tell them, tearfully, about what went down with Mr Pickles but they were all there to do battle with Snugglepuss and Bambi 2.0.
Henry got Donghae to take him back to Canada and He’s now refusing to return to Korea until everyone stops being insane…which means he might never come back. Leeteuk really kind of wishes he could do that too. The only peace he gets now is when Shindong exercises his power. Leeteuk likes Shindong’s power. Especially now that Shindong can pin point just one or a few people to be affected by the burp. Also, he can belch on command.
Heechul likes to put on impromptu pyrotechnic shows during performances. Leeteuk is terrified that someone is going to realize that they are more than just really good special effects.
Kyuhyun was voted most likely to become a super villain. But so far he seems content just to use his powers for silly pranks and distracting his opponents when playing video games.
Leeteuk’s keeping an eye on him though.
“I still don’t know exactly what’s going on.” Kibum says one day. “But god help the world if we ever have to save it.”
.the end.
Sorry this is late, life got in the way as it invariably does.
When I first thought about doing this fic I thought it would just be a short little silly thing...10,000 words later...oh god.

We Could Be Heroes
11) Sungmin
He’s being shaken awake. Roughly. Like whoever is shaking him is on the verge of panic.
“Sungmin-ah!” He hears someone say, the voice sounds muffled and far away. “Wake up!” Sungmin doesn’t want to wake up, he wants this person to leave him alone. “Sungmin-ah, wake up!”
Reluctantly Sungmin opens his eyes, he sees Shindong standing over him, he looks frightened, frantic.
“S’matter?” Sungmin slurs. He tries to sit up but his legs are weighed down, Kyuhyun is lying on them. Sungmin tries to shake him off, Kyuhyun’s eyes flutter but he doesn’t wake up.
“Sungmin-ah, I’m so sorry.”
“What for?”
“Just come on.”
Shindong hauls him to his feet, Sungmin’s still only half awake and he rubs at his eyes sleepily as he follows Shindong out to the main room. There is something he’s forgotten, we was sure of it. Something important he was doing or talking about before he fell asleep. Hey—why did he fall asleep? The main room is quiet and still save for the members soft snoring.
“Shindongie…what happened?” Sungmin looks around at the sleeping group. Yesung is kneeling by Ryeowook’s chair, his head in Ryeowook’s lap, Sungmin wonders when he’d arrived. Then Sungmin’s eyes fell on a small figure in the middle of the room and he remembers.
“Mr Pickles!” Sungmin cries and he runs over to the stuffed toy. Mr Pickles is lying on his back, one of Ryeowook’s chefs knives lodged in his chest. Every so often one of his little limbs twitches. “You stabbed him!”

“A homicidal stuffed bunny! Sungmin-ah, I’m sorry. He tried to eat me.”

“You’re not going to…”
“No.” Sungmin says sullenly. “Go wake up the others.” Sungmin stomps out to the hall to wake Kyuhyun. When everyone was awake and assembled in the main room, Sungmin tries to explain his power. They had to explain everything, slowly, to Yesung who had returned after spending the night at his parents only to find everyone sleeping. He’d thought sleeping was a good idea so he curled up next to Ryeowook.

Everyone just looks at him blankly.
“Donghae-ah, go fetch Zhou Mi.” Leeteuk asks. He sounds tired. Sungmin supposes it has been a long day, it’s getting dark outside, he wonders how long they were asleep.
“Anyone know what time it is?” Sungmin wonders out loud. He has his own watch on but it’s too much effort to look for himself. He looks out the window at the storm now raging outside.
“It’s just gone midday.” Kyuhyun says. “…wait, that can’t be right.”

“It’s not that bad.” He hears Donghae grumble.
“It is for anyone who’s not you.” Leeteuk retorts.
“Hey, look!” Sungmin says and he points out of the window to where there is a sudden break in the clouds and a small ball of light is shining feebly. “The sun is coming back.” The wind is starting to die down and the strange sudden storm looks like it’s going to be over before it even really began.
“Isn’t this exciting!” Zhou Mi says and Sungmin turns round to look at him. Zhou Mi has recovered quickly from his teleportation experience and is smiling bright and sunny as he looks around the group. Sungmin looks back at the window. The sun is brighter now and it might just be his imagination but it looks closer too. Behind him Sungmin hears Zhou Mi laugh and he looks back around to see Kyuhyun tickling him. Sungmin turns back to the window. The sun is definitely brighter now and definitely closer.
“Huh.” Sungmin muses. “That can’t be good.”
12) Zhou Mi
He’s sort of upset and a little hurt when Sungmin comes up and pinches him. Hard.
“I’m sorry, Mi.” Sungmin says and he looks like he means it, but being sorry and meaning it doesn’t make it any less painful.
“Oww.” Zhou Mi whines and he hugs his forearm where Sungmin pinched him.
“Minne-ah, what did you do that for?”
“Just testing out a theory.” Sungmin says. “I’m really sorry, Zhou Mi.” Sungmin turns and points out of the window. “Guys, look!”
Zhou Mi looks though he’s not really sure what he’s supposed to be looking for. The sky outside has clouded over again just as the weather was taking a turn for the better. Stupid rain, stupid storm. Zhou Mi doesn’t like lightning.
“Kyuhyun-ah,” Sungmin says. “Make Zhou Mi laugh again.”
“Hey, wait, wh…” Zhou Mi starts but he doesn’t get to finish because Kyuhyun starts tickling him and Kyuhyun knows exactly which spots to go for. Within seconds Zhou Mi is gasping for breath as Kyuhyun’s lithe fingers work their way under his shirt.
“Kui Xian! Stop it!” Zhou Mi howls but Kyuhyun ignores him. Eventually Zhou Mi manages to straighten up and shove Kyuhyun away. When he can breathe again he finds everyone—well everyone save him and Kyuhyun—are staring out the window. They all look a little stunned, except for Kibum who looks grim, but that’s kind of his default expression. The sky outside has cleared again and the sun is shining brightly.
“What’s the matter?” Kyuhyun asks but no one answers, instead Sungmin walks over and pinches Zhou Mi again.
“Ow.” Zhou Mi pouts. “Sungminnie I don’t think I like you anymore.” No one pays any attention to him though, they are all too busy looking outside at the now darkened sky. Stupid, stupid weather.
“Kyuhunnie, make Zhou Mi laugh again.” Sungmin says.
“No!” Zhou Mi shouts and he tries to move away from Kyuhyun—who is taking far too much glee in this—but the younger boy just tackles him to the ground. Kyuhyun tickles him. Zhou Mi laughs. The sun shines.
“Huh.” Heechul says, his voice nonchalant. “Seasoning’s smile can make the sun shine. Literally.”
“And when he’s sad it rains.” Sungmin adds.
“Hmmmm.” Kyuhyun says thoughtfully. He pounces on Zhou Mi again and outside it gets hotter and hotter.
“Oh,” Yesung complains. “It’s too hot now. Zhou Mi stop being so happy.”
Kyuhyun stops his ministrations long enough to look up at Yesung and say, “Telling Zhou Mi not to be happy is like telling water not to be wet.” And then he goes back to attacking Zhou Mi…but it’s like Zhou Mi can’t feel it anymore. Zhou Mi suddenly feels like someone has poured ice all over him, he feels like he might never be happy again. Outside rain starts to fall again, harder, louder.
“Zhou Mi?” Kyuhyun says, worried. “Are you ok?”
Zhou Mi can only shake his head. Outside a strong, violent wind kicks up. It rattles at the windows.
“Oh that can’t be good.” Kibum mumbles.
“Seasoning, it’s only Yesung.” Heechul says, his voice soft and calm. “You Don’t have to listen to him.”
Zhou Mi nods, tries for smile, doesn’t quite manage it. Kyuhyun whirls on Yesung.
“What did you do to him?”
Yesung just shrugs helplessly. “I don’t know, I didn’t do anything.”
“Clearly you did something, hyung” Kibum says and he has this thoughtful expression on his face that Zhou Mi doesn’t think bodes well for anyone. Zhou Mi doesn’t really care about what’s coming next, it’s not like there is anything that could make his mood worse. Kibum looks around the room, his eyes fall on a just of water on the table. “Here.” He says to Yesung. “Tell this water not to be wet.”
Yesung looks at Kibum like he’s insane because, yes, Kibum has clearly lost it. Still, he reaches out hesitantly and takes the jug.
“Water,” Yesung says. “Don’t be wet.” Nothing happens for a few seconds and then…the water in the jug seems to recede and shrivel until all that’s left inside is a clear, withered husk.
“That shouldn’t be chemically possible.” Kibum says as he examines the transformed contents.
“Seriously?” Heechul says incredulously, he looks at Yesung then at the jug then at Zhou Mi an then back at Yesung. “Seriously? He gets the power to make people and things do whatever he says?”
“Oh god.” Shindong whimpers. “We’re all gonna die.”
“Oh.” Yesung says. He blinks slowly and looks round at the rest of the group, and then he smiles. “Heechul-Hyung,” He says and it’s like time stops as everyone takes a collective breath. “Could you make me some food?”
13) Yesung
Yesung thinks that Heechul’s head just might explode. Little wisps of smoke puff out of his ears and his face starts to turn an alarming shade of red as he fights not to do what Yesung told him to do.
“No, dongseang. I won’t.” Heechul growls. However his body is forcing him to do otherwise. His legs start moving him towards the kitchen and Heechul clearly doesn’t want this to happen. He grabs on to Donghae to try and stop himself from going but he only succeeds in dragging the younger boy with him and then Donghae teleports away and Heechul has nothing to hold onto anymore. “Hankyung!” Heechul cries. “Help me!”
“Would if I could, Hyung.” Han Geng says with a shrug. “But I can’t reach you from up here.”
“Hyung, please!” Ryeowook says, he grips tight to Yesung’s arm. “Take it back, tell him he doesn’t have to do it. He’ll set fire to the kitchen!”
“OK.” Yesung relents and everyone breathes out a sigh of relief. “Heechul-hyung, you don’t have to make me food.”
“Wise move.” Heechul says darkly as he slumps to the floor. “And while you’re making wise choices tell Seasoning to cheer up before our whole street floods.”
Yesung does so and immediately the sun starts to shine.
Leeteuk sighs—though it sounds more like a sob—and he buries his head in his hands.
“Oh god.” Leeteuk mumbles, his voice muffled. “Didn’t anyone give any thought to what they were doing and who they were doing it to?”
“It’s ok Seasoning.” Heechul says to Zhou Mi. “Kibum will fix you.”
“Why is it always me?” Kibum grumbles, but he takes Zhou Mi by the arm and hauls him off anyway. “Though if it’s really his mood controlling the weather how am I going to fix that? Teach him to feel neutrally about everything?”
Yesung gets this strange, creepy feeling like everyone is looking at him. Oh wait, they are.
“What?” Yesung says, more than a little bemuse.
“I vote for cutting out his vocal cords.” Heechul says. “And I volunteer to do it.”
Yesung shrinks back a little, he tries to hide behind Ryeowook but Ryeowook is having none of it. Yesung thinks he might be a little mad about the potential destruction of his kitchen.
“I don’t think we need to do anything that drastic, Hyung.” Kyuhyun says cheerfully. “I got this.”
Kyuhyun turns towards the kitchen, points and sort of squints his eyes. Nothing happens for a bit and Yesung snickers, Kyuhyun looks a little like he’s constipated. Yesung doesn’t think anything will actually happen…and then something does.
Slowly, something floats out of the kitchen, it looks like a dish cloth. It bobs along like a fish caught in a current until it reaches Kyuhyun. Kyuhyun then directs it over towards Yesung. Yesung just watches bemused—and a little fascinated—he doesn’t think to move out of the way until it’s too late. The dish cloth, god he hopes it’s a clean one, wraps itself around Yesung’s mouth.
“Mmphf.” Yesung says in protest.
“There.” Kyuhyun says with a smirk. “Fixed him.”
“Cho Kyuhyun.” Leeteuk says slowly. His voice is even and his eyes twitch in that way they do when Leeteuk is really, really annoyed. This is one of those times when Yesung is very, very glad he’s not Kyuhyun. “Just how long have you been able to do that?”
14) Kyuhyun
The answer to Leeteuk’s question is since about 6am that morning but he’s not about to admit to that. He found out pretty much as soon as he woke up, he wanted his PSP and it was all the way at the other end of the room and he really feel like getting out of bed to go get it. Sungmin was inconsiderate enough to still be asleep so Kyuhyun couldn’t cajole him into getting up and getting it either.
In the end, though, it didn’t matter because the next thing that Kyuhyun knew the PSP was in his hand. At the time he’d just put the phenomenon down to his own awesomeness.
“Since just now.” Kyuhyun lies smoothly. Leeteuk just stares at him, eyes narrowed, like he doesn’t believe him. But really, is it Kyuhyun’s fault that no one thought to ask him if he’d gotten his super power already? No.
Kyuhyun drops himself into a chair and starts floating things up in the air, some fruit, the jug with Yesung’s withered water in it. Ahhh, he’d been wanting to do this all day. Heechul starts blowing smoke rings again and Kyuhyun thinks it’ll be neat to try and float his object through the rings before they disappear.
“Kyuhyun, stop it. Someone might want to eat those apples. And Heechul stop blowing smoke rings you’re going to…” Leeteuk is once again interrupted by a shrill beeping. “…Set of the smoke alarms again.” Leeteuk sighs again. “I quit.” He moans. “That is it, I quit. I…”
Leeteuk doesn’t get to finish his tirade because Shindong chooses that moment to belch and everyone falls fast asleep.
15) Epilogue
The important thing is that they didn’t kill each other or destroy the world…yet.
The next day is calmer, there are no more nasty surprises to be had and for that Leeteuk is eternally grateful. It’s the days and weeks that follow which give Leeteuk all those new grey hairs.

Siwon eventually stops seeing naked people, much to his great relief and Heechul’s even greater annoyance. Heechul had taken a liking to tricking Siwon into looking at him and then rolling his hips suggestively.
It was Kibum who had the idea of tying some of Siwon’s weights around Han Geng’s waist to, well, to weigh him down. It’s an awkward solution but it sort of works. It’s only temporary…hopefully. Sometimes though, Han Geng will untie the weights and float back up to the ceiling, just to annoy Heechul.
Heechul doesn’t approve of Han Geng and Siwon having super powers anymore.
Eunhyuk does stop turning into stone every time he gets a fright, which was often since Kibum and Donghae took to sneaking up on him both invisibly and teleporting out of nowhere.
Kibum discovers that he can make anyone or anything he’s touching invisible too. Leeteuk can feel the ulcer growing, he can.
Zhou Mi is actually the easiest to deal with. All they had to do in the end was get Yesung to tell him to control the weather with his mind and not his mood and it was done. Though convincing Zhou Mi that he has to let it rain sometimes was hard.
Through trial and error thy find that Yesung’s power only work when he actually talks. So he sings all the time now which is actually kind of annoying but since the time when he told Kyuhyun to shove his head in the toilet…well, they put up with the constant singing.
Much to Leeteuk’s distress he finds that the strange shadow wings that aren’t really even wings, stupid things, won’t go away. And they can’t even be covered by clothes since they are not even really there. They are like a shadow that clings to Leeteuk’s back. It now looks like Leeteuk is permanently wearing some kind of cape. Kyuhyun says this is a good thing because it means that Leeteuk has finally fulfilled his life long dream of becoming a sailor moon character…just maybe not the one he would have wanted.
Kangin finds the whole situation hilarious and frequently communicates with Ryeowook, instructing him to point and laugh the way that Kangin would if he were there with them. But Ryeowook won’t do that, in fact he’s taken to not telling anyone when he is talking to Kangin because Leeteuk has this habit of grabbing Ryeowook’s face, looking into his eyes and saying:
“Youngwoon! Are you in there? Come home now, I need help.”
This face squishing really hurts and Leeteuk won’t let go until Kibum or Han Geng—someone with a rational mind—pulls him off.
Kangin thinks that Eunhyuk’s power is especially funny an incredibly lame. Eunhyuk says he can’t wait for Kangin to come back home.
“The next time he tries to hit me he’s going to break his fist.”
Sungmin is banned from kissing anymore of his stuffed toys, or any inanimate object for whatever reason ever. They did a bit on a variety show where they had to learn CPR. The resuscitation dummy might have been armless and legless but it was vicious. And Shindong could only tell them, tearfully, about what went down with Mr Pickles but they were all there to do battle with Snugglepuss and Bambi 2.0.
Henry got Donghae to take him back to Canada and He’s now refusing to return to Korea until everyone stops being insane…which means he might never come back. Leeteuk really kind of wishes he could do that too. The only peace he gets now is when Shindong exercises his power. Leeteuk likes Shindong’s power. Especially now that Shindong can pin point just one or a few people to be affected by the burp. Also, he can belch on command.
Heechul likes to put on impromptu pyrotechnic shows during performances. Leeteuk is terrified that someone is going to realize that they are more than just really good special effects.
Kyuhyun was voted most likely to become a super villain. But so far he seems content just to use his powers for silly pranks and distracting his opponents when playing video games.
Leeteuk’s keeping an eye on him though.
“I still don’t know exactly what’s going on.” Kibum says one day. “But god help the world if we ever have to save it.”
.the end.
Sorry this is late, life got in the way as it invariably does.
When I first thought about doing this fic I thought it would just be a short little silly thing...10,000 words later...oh god.
