Disclaimer: THIS IS A FANFICTION, all "Celeb" appearances are just courtesy of my brain. They belong to themselves, each other, and that's about it. I can't prove angels exist, I didn't witness any of this, it is all from my random little brain. And no, we're not done yet, ladies.

Yunho was well on his way to relearning Jaejoong’s taste, when they were interrupted.
His broader form easily pinned the pliant male against the wall of the elevator as they kissed. Beneath him Jae shivered, perhaps from the kiss and perhaps from the cool bite of metal at his back, Yunho wasn’t sure. Not that it really mattered, but then little did when Jaejoong’s fingers were tangling in his hair and pulling him closer.
‘Yunnie-’
‘As much as I hate to interrupt this cozy little moment, and really I do… Now is not the time for this, boys. And to be honest, this certainly isn’t the place, not by any stretch of the imagination.’
Jaejoong jumped as that voice slipped into his mind, one he recognized from a prior conversation though the words held infinitely more sarcasm and amusement this time around. Yunho jumped as well, his head twisting to the door which remained closed.
‘What the hell?’ The dominant Kin hissed.
‘Can’t you get your lover to be a little nicer to me, Jaejoong?’
At the next sound of that strange voice, Yunho’s hand tightened on Jae’s arm, a worried expression flickering over his face at the shock present in Jaejoong’s eyes. “Babe?”
“I… I know that voice.” Jaejoong whispered, jumping again as the elevator started moving, sliding down three floors before stopping sharply. “Yunho-”
The guardsman glanced both ways down the hallway of the third floor, and then returned his gaze back to the wires he was carefully pressing together. The panel and buttons for the elevator lay on the floor by the toe of his boot, cast aside so he could peel the colored casings off the various wires and hot-wire the elevator. When the box reached the appropriate floor he selected another cable, bending it to his will until the doors slid open with their usual sigh.
“I hoped you hadn’t forgotten me so soon.” Takarai smirked as the elevator doors parted to reveal the two Kin to him, fingers slowly withdrawing from the tangled wires revealed by the sudden lack of a panel on the wall. “That would just break my heart, Jaejoong.”
“What do you want?” Yunho muttered, teeth bared in a protective growl as he tucked Jaejoong slightly behind him. “Who the hell are you, and what do you want?”
The man in the guard’s uniform laughed, pulling his baseball cap off and running a hand through his darkened hair. “Me? I’d really love a chance to take a nice long vacation away from all of you freaks. But I’d settle for the end of this place.”
Hyde had to admit, the look of surprised disbelief and confusion on the faces of the two Arch Angels was pretty damn hilarious. He smirked and rolled his eyes at them, gesturing with a sharp nod. “And my name really isn’t important at this moment in time, so I think I’ll keep that for now. Come on then, lovebirds. As I understand it, there’s quite a crew that wants you free of this place so you can help bring down others like it.”
“And we trust you because…?” Yunho murmured, twining his fingers with Jaejoong’s as they followed the stranger slowly down the hall.
“You’re following, aren’t you? Good boy. I know, I know, I’d distrust me too.” Hyde replied dramatically as he lead them to a heavy steel door and punched a flurry of keys, grinning viciously when the door hissed open. “Aha, that’s a good baby.”
Jaejoong winced faintly as Yunho stepped through the door, drawing him into a lab not so unlike the one he had destroyed three months ago. There was the same sterile smell to the air, the same whine of electronics and drone of lights, the same cabinets and counters and metal exam tables with cuffs to secure the specimens. Without meaning to, he shivered, crowding closer to his mate’s back as Yunho followed their strange rescuer to a back corner of the room.
Yunho tossed him a worried glance, thumb rubbing soothing circles on Jae’s hand. ‘Are you alright, Boo?’
‘Fine.’ Jaejoong barely whispered, eyes closing as he fought off memories of previous visits to rooms like this.
“Don’t worry, you won’t be here long, and you’re not here for any of their tests.” Takarai offered as he moved around lab tables, not bothering to glance back at the pair of Kin.
“Why are we here?” Yunho muttered as he watched the guard sift quickly through a few papers before moving to the electronics.
Takarai glanced up at him, one auburn brow arching as a faint smirk tugged one corner of his mouth upward. “I have a few tasks to perform before it becomes impossible to do so, don’t worry your pretty little head about them too much.”
He turned back to his ‘tasks’ and the computer flared to life under the direction of his fingers. Quickly entering code after code, he prompted a flurry of windows to appear and then jump back out of sight just as quickly as they had come.
Yunho moved closer and watched over his shoulder, attempting to memorize codes and screens so he could discuss them later with Changmin. “What are you doing?”
“What, you don’t think this is the only branch, do you?” Takarai snorted, pulling two small USB drives from his pocket. One he tossed in the air as he inserted the other, catching it and tucking it between his lips as his fingers resumed their rapid clicking. “Gods, you’re naïve for an Arch, Kid.”
“Yunho.” He barked on reflex, frowning at the strange guard. “My name is Yunho.”
“Hyde.” The Japanese man inclined his head with a wink, removing the one drive from the computer as the screens blanked. “Nice to meet you, Son of Michael.”
“Does everyone have the ability to sense I’m First Line?” Yunho muttered as he watched Hyde tuck the one drive back into his pocket and insert the other.
“Angels have a very specific set of castes, a pecking order if you will.” The guard murmured, fingers flying as he spoke. “There are certain personalities, actions, gifts; a collection of clues that will give away which one you belong to. At least, those who study Angels will know what to look for, and have a better chance at classifying you.”
“And you study Angels, so you know what to look for?” Jaejoong murmured, arms folded across his chest as he glared at one of the examination tables.
“Something like that, yes.” Takarai glanced over his shoulder to consider Jaejoong, meeting the Arch’s distrustful stare with a neutral look.
“Tell me what you know about Angels.” Yunho demanded, both out of the need to know and the desire to draw Takarai’s attention away from his mate.
“Like any species that is prone to exist in a social structure, Angels have a hierarchy.” Hyde replied as he returned to typing, watching the screen flash with a concentrated frown. “Now, as historical texts tell us in this hierarchy, there are three dividing levels. The bottom-most level, the Third Sphere, is where the Arch Angels and Angels exist, alongside the Principalities.”
“The Principalities?” Yunho echoed, frowning. “What are they?”
Hyde grinned victoriously at the screen, answering easily. “Principalities are inspiration; they oversee groups of people, bequeath blessings, and so on. The main similarity between three different types that exist in the Third Sphere is that all have some interaction with humans, even if it’s not on a physical level.”
Hyde shrugged, gesturing to a notebook near Yunho’s hand on the desk. “Grab that for me?”
Yunho retrieved the paper and offered it, watching Hyde make notations as he continued to strike keys with one hand. “And the next level?”
Hyde considered the screen’s characters carefully, nodded to himself, and then resumed his explanation. “The middle level, the Second Sphere, is the home of the heavenly governors. And well, let’s just say you won’t see any of their kind in a place like this, that’s for sure. They have no reason to be on Earth and certainly no reason to be visible -much less corporeal- should they ever descend.”
A few last clicks, notations on the paper, and then Hyde was tearing the page out and tucking it into his pocket. “And the top-most level is separated into three groups, the highest of the high. At the bottom are the Thrones, they are living symbols of God’s authority. Their existence is bound to the next level up, the Cherubim, who guard the way to the Tree of Life as well as God’s Throne.”
‘You are sharing quite a bit of information there, Hyde.’
Jaejoong cut a look to the guard as he laughed at the sound of that strangely compelling voice. Watching as Hyde paced toward the far wall of the room, the Arch frowned at him. “Who was that?”
“You’ll meet him soon enough, Arch Angel, don’t worry.” He replied as he led them past tables and two smaller examination areas to a heavy door.
“Now where are we going?” Yunho asked as he caught Jae’s hand with a reassuring smile.
Hyde hesitated at the door, swiftly attaching a small black box that beeped three times and then flashed a green light. Smirking he twisted the wheel on the door and wrenched it open, gesturing the two through as he stepped in himself. “Come on kids.”
Yunho frowned as he followed Hyde’s direction and pulled the door closed after Jaejoong. “I’m really over you calling us that.”
Hyde grinned as a low bang -like an explosion- sounded on the far side of the door. Both Jaejoong and Yunho jumped, and then glanced at him, making him smile even wider. “I told you I was going to end this place. Are you two going to help, or just stare?”
Yunho sighed, glancing to Jaejoong. He didn’t know who or even what this guard was -certainly not human, with the ability to talk to them on a mind to mind link- or if he trusted the stranger. Jaejoong seemed to dislike him, but it was more a mild irritation than a true hatred. On top of it all, Takarai seemed to be amused by that dislike.
‘He’s amused that you are annoyed by him.’ He offered.
‘I’m annoyed that he’s amused.’ Jaejoong admitted. ‘But if he has a way out, I’m all for it. Let’s go.’
Yunho sighed, glancing at a smirking Takarai, and nodded. “We’re in.”
Internally, he snorted, boy he had his work cut out on these two. “I know, I just was waiting for you to realize it. Come on. We have some bombs to set before we break you out of here.”
Jae frowned, hesitating. “What about the rest of the population?”
“Oh, don’t worry… Someone’s already working on that. They’re in good hands.” Hyde winked. “Very good hands, I can personally assure you of that much. Let’s go Angels, this place won’t destroy itself.”
