There was a vicious pleasure to be found in hunting down one’s enemy like an animal, the same way they hunted you whenever they had the chance. What was the phrase for that again? Oh yes. Turnabout is fair play.
Angels have a tendency to be faster, stronger, and smarter than their human counterparts. Such abilities came in handy when hunting said humans, particularly the black-souled people who worked for The Haven. The problem with humans was that they continued to think like humans, and not like Kin. They never looked to the sky.
A black-clothed figure with mantled wings of pale cream clung to the wall of the warehouse, one hand fixed on the roof to hold him in place. In the true dark of night he was almost invisible, but there was a faint glean of gold in his eyes that spoke of ‘other’ just as clearly as his wings did. Those fierce golden eyes watched carefully as the guard paced under him, then just past, before releasing his hold on wall and roof and diving to earth.
GDragon altered the course of his dive just enough to drive the soldier face-down into the ground beneath him, one knee and his opposite heel digging firmly into the man’s back. It was just the faintest of flexes in his wings that had saved the man from a broken spine, a slight restraint on his part that meant only severe bruising and temporary paralysis. Enough to get his job done.
“You shot my brother.” He crooned, fisting one hand in the man’s hair and wrenching his head backwards, his other hand producing a wicked blade and pressing it to the man’s throat. Knives were always so much more dramatic than guns.
“Monster.” The guard hissed, thrashing uselessly until steel bit into his skin. It was enough to still his thrashing but not silence him. “You’re all monsters.”
“Yes, we are.” Jiyong murmured as he let the blade dig deeper. “But you made us that way.”
Human eyes blazed in hatred, and oaths of pain slipped from the man’s lips as one hand scrabbled uselessly in the dirt. “We’ll kill you all.”
“Not today.” Jiyong murmured and let the blade slide deep enough to sever his artery. “And not you.”
‘Taeyang and I have one dead here.’ TOP murmured in his mind, drawn by the faint flares of pain. ‘Are you hurt?’
Jiyong wiped the blade clean and then stood with a flare of his wings, stretching slightly. He smiled bitterly at the question and stepped away from the body with a final disgusted glare, shutting down his conscience with a dismissive hiss. ‘No. I have one dead here. I’ll see you inside.’
‘Wait for me?
Looking up at the warehouse, he folded away his wings and pulled one of his pistols free from his belt. ‘I’ll see you inside, Seunghyun.’
‘Jiyong!’
‘Turnabout is fair play.’ Jiyong muttered those words to himself over and over again as he stalked through the upper rooms of the warehouse, his booted feet strangely silent as he prowled from room to room. The blood outside and on the floor downstairs had nearly been enough to make his team lose it, blood they knew the owner of.
Jonghyun’s alive. Jonghyun’s alive. Jonghyun’s alive. Had been his first mantra, a reminder to himself that one of his friends had survived in spite of the human’s plans for him.
They were all inconvenient, in that respect. Haven wanted nothing more to imprison, examine and exterminate Angel-Kin. Yet, here the Resistance was, snooping around on their property and killing their staff. Yeah, inconvenient was a good word. It didn’t exactly describe how they’d descended upon this property and hunted the Haven crew down, it didn’t bring justice to the swift deaths they dealt the soldiers, but it worked.
The first Jiyong himself had not slain, rather just served to draw the man out so they could get a clear short at him. The memory of it made him smile faintly, washing away some of his fierce rage.

He smirked as the Solider stopped suddenly, surprised at his arrival and the general appearance of a seemingly-unarmed Kin. His first question ‘How did you get out?’, had made Jiyong narrow his eyes.
‘There are others here.’ He’d hissed as the Soldier paced toward him, pistol aimed.
‘We’ll deal with it.’ TOP had promised, his voice calculating and cold as he aimed his rifle and shot the man closing in on his unarmed lover. ‘I really hate it when you play bait.’
‘To anyone but you, perhaps.’ His smiled turned vicious as he watched blood spread over the man’s chest and human eyes widen in fear before blanking in death. ‘A perfect shot, like always.’
‘Will you stop making me impress you now?’
‘Fine. I’ll go after the next one on my own.’
*
‘You’re smug.’ TOP muttered on a private thread, his low voice making the lead of the Resistance team shudder. ‘What are you thinking?’
‘How inconvenient we are.’ Jiyong replied, all amusement gone as he noted another splash of blood on the stairs. ‘Especially you.’
‘When I’m avenging our brothers or defending you? I guess.’
Ji shook his head, eyes narrowed as he scanned the area. He didn’t know where Jonghyun had been when he was shot, or where he took cover while he waited for Rain to appear. Still, if he were to guess, the shot came while he was outside and unaware of where his enemy was waiting. Maybe he’d been getting too close to this building?
Jiyong wasn’t sure if that meant the Haven staff was inside the warehouse at the time, or if they were in one of the other buildings on the property, but he supposed it didn’t matter.
‘Where’s Taeyang?’
‘With Ueda in the far building.’ TOP replied easily. ‘They said something about technical improvements made to the core of the structure so they were going to investigate further.’
‘And Kame and Jin?’ Jiyong hesitated as he entered a room he expected to be empty and found what appeared to be an airlock and an elevator shaft. Inching closer to the shining steel and glass, he frowned. ‘What the hell?’
‘Caught and dispatched two soldiers, they left a technician in the custody of the others and are finishing their search.’ TOP seemed to shrug. ‘Not sure how long he’ll live, can’t really bring myself to care… What did you find?’
‘Technical improvements made to the core of the structure.’ The leader sorted, pistol in hand as he gingerly reached for the airlock button and pushed in tentatively. ‘Come cover me, will you?’
‘Can you try not to touch anything until I get there?’ The soldier hissed, and Ji could almost hear him snarling to himself along with the impression of the older male rushing up stairs.
‘Too late.’ He replied as the elevator appeared and doors opened with a soft hiss. ‘You better hurry up or I’m going to get into more trouble without you.’
TOP swore as he rounded the corner and then found another short flight of stairs before him. ‘If we live through this, Ji, I am seriously going to beat your ass.’
‘I’m not going to dignify that with a response.’ He murmured as he stepped into the elevator. ‘You better hurry, I’m not waiting forever.’
‘You do anything by yourself and get hurt, I will seriously-’
‘Just save your threats and get your ass up here, Choi.’ Jiyong hissed, frowning at the presences he could sense beyond the two teams he knew were on the grounds. ‘There’s someone else -like us- here, don’t make them wait.’
