Summary: One morning the members of Super Junior wake up with super powers. What follows is a day of chaos. Some of them have cooler powers than others, some adapt quicker to them than others. Leeteuk mainly worries for his sanity and for the fate of the world at large.
We could be heroes
1) Siwon
Siwon wakes up that morning with x-ray vision. No explanations as to why he suddenly has x-ray vision, there were no incidents with any genetically modified stuff, no falling into a vat of toxic waste, no getting hit by lightning and there have been no meteor showers.
It was just like, here, have a superpower.
The thing of it is though, it’s a very limited super power, as in he only has the ability to see through fabric and he doesn’t even realize that he has this power until about two hours after he wakes up. It’s one of those rare times that he’s staying at the dorms with the rest of the group and sure, he did notice that the sofa looked a little odd, like all it’s stuffing was on the outside. But it’s an old piece of furniture and he figures that Donghae and Eunhyuk must have killed it in his absence and no one saw any real point in getting it replaced. Donghae and Eunhyuk would probably just break the new one too.
It’s just him and Leeteuk that are up and around that morning, and really, seeing Leeteuk walking around the place naked isn’t all that unusual. It’s not until Ryeowook breezes through the door, butt naked and humming a jaunty tune that Siwon thinks that there might be something wrong. Siwon blinks, shakes his head, blinks again, rubs his eyes. No, Ryeowook is still naked.
“Hyung, are you all right?” Ryeowook asks, concerned. You look a little pale.”
One by one the rest of the group wakes up and files into the kitchen. All of them completely naked. Siwon decides that his only recourse is to go to church immediately and pray. Pray that he’s not going crazy and also to pray that he has gone crazy and that the whole world hasn’t up and become a nudist colony.
It turns out that going to church was quite possibly the worst idea ever. Everyone there is naked too, the pastor, the choir boys, old, old, old, old, Mrs Kim…who, it seems, has a tattoo of a dragon, the tail of it curling down towards her…
“Oh god.” Siwon moans. He closes his eyes, and that actually makes things better, but only for a little while. He knows that he can’t make it back to the dorm with his eyes closed and he doesn’t want to open his eyes because of the sudden outbreak of nakedness. The thought of calling one of his hyungs to come and get him fills him with all kinds of dread. What is he supposed to say? “Hi, I see naked people?”
Why is his life like this?
He sits down, he lands heavily, it’s hard to judge things like distance to the ground when you have your eyes closed. He pulls out his cell phone and starts pushing buttons. He doesn’t need to see to do this, the number he punches in is engrained on his memory. He calls the one person he thinks he can talk to about this, the one person who will listen calmly and won’t laugh at him or judge him or think he’s a complete head case.
He calls Han Geng.
Han Geng does listen patiently, makes soothing noises when Siwon chokes on his words.
“Ge, do you think I’m crazy? Because I think I might be crazy. Everyone is naked! Everyone!” He half whispers, half hisses the last part, emphasizing the words so that he is sure that Han Geng fully realizes his situation.
“No, Siwonnie. I don’t think you’re crazy.” Han Geng says, his voice calm, gentle. “I’ll tell you what is crazy, though. I’m sort of floating. I’m stuck up by the ceiling and I have no idea how I am supposed to get down."
2) Han Geng
Han Geng wakes that morning with the inexplicable feeling of lightness. He yawns and stretches, opens his eyes and looks down…hey, wait!
Down?
It takes him a few minutes to fully comprehend his predicament, it’s just too…too…he can’t even come up with a suitable word for whatever this shit is. At first he thinks-or more like he hopes-that he’s having an out of body experience. But then, if he were having an out of body experience surely he would be floating up here and looking down on himself sleeping and not floating up here and looking down on his empty bed, bare of even its sheets because they are still wrapped around him.
He really thought that he had left all this bizarre crap behind when he left Korea.
He pushes himself away from the ceiling and the bed sheets fall away and flutter back down to the floor. As soon as Han Geng stop pushing his ass hits the aertex again. He can push himself away, he can push himself along, he just cant get down, or at least he can’t stay down. He figures out that if he anchors himself to something heavier than he is then he’ll stay somewhere near ground level. He grabs on to the curtains and tries to climb down them like rope. It’s kind of awkward because his body tries to float its way back up to the ceiling but eventually he manages. He grabs onto a chair, which was stupid really because he just ends up right back where he started.
God dammit.
He blames Heechul. He’s not sure how or why and he is sure that it’s not really rational but somehow it’s all Heechul’s fault.
It’s like he’s weightless, he imagines that this is was astronauts might feel like. It’s…it’s almost kind of fun. Then his cell phone starts ringing and panic sets in.
Why is his life like this?
He drags himself back down to the ground, he hooks his legs around the foot board of his bed and grabs his phone off the dresser.
“Hello?” He says, trying to keep his voice calm, everything is cool, everything is ok, nothing weird or inexplicable is going on here, no sir. “Siwon? Are you ok? You what?”
He is so taken aback by what Siwon tells him that he lets go of the bed and is up on the ceiling again. He glad that this happened-if it had to happen at all-while he was inside. If this weightlessness had come upon him while he’d been outside? He shudders to think where he might have floated away to.
“It’s ok.” Han Geng says soothingly into the phone. Siwon sounds panicked and with probably good reason too. Han Geng is pretty close to panic himself. “Calm down, I don’t think you’re crazy. Look down at yourself.”
“I don’t want to.”
“Just do it. Are you naked?”
A pause and then…”Yes.” Siwon says meekly.
“I take it you put clothes on before you left home.”
“Of course I did.”
“Are you still wearing them?”
Another pause and then…”Yes, I think so. I think I can still feel them, I just can’t see them. Why can’t I see them Ge?”
Han Geng takes a deep, steadying breath. So, he can float and Siwon can see through clothes. Just a normal day then. He hears a soft whispering, or at least he thinks he does, quiet at first and then louder, coherent.
“Can you hear me?” The voice asks. This disembodied whisper sounds familiar, so familiar. “Hankyung-hyung, can you hear me? Is this working?”
“Oh, my.” Han Geng whispers.
“What is it?” Siwon asks, his voice now half way to frantic and for a minute there Han Geng had forgotten he was on the phone with him. “What’s wrong?”
“It’s ok, Siwonnie, calm down. I’m getting a message from…from…” The voice in his head keeps talking and Han Geng works on placing it-the voice-it gets louder and clearer and then Han Geng knows who it is.
“Hankyung-hyung, can you hear me?”
“Yes, Ryeowook-ah.” Han Geng says. “I can hear you.”
Yup, just a normal, normal day.
3) Ryeowook (and Kangin)
Ryeowook wakes up thinking about Kangin. He isn’t sure why at first, not until he starts to remember pieces of his dream. He was dreaming about the army, it’s been on his mind a lot lately so it’s not surprising that it’s filtered through to his dreams. He wakes up and he thinks ‘I wonder how Kangin-hyung is doing?’
“Oh, I’m doing great Wookie-ah.” A voice in his head says.
Ryeowook blinks into the dim light, he fumbles around to find the switch on the light by the bed, almost knocking the lamp over in his haste. When the light comes on he is almost relieved to find that he is alone in the room.
Then who had just spoken? Was he hearing voices in his head now?
“Yes, Wookie-ah, you are.”
“Kangin-hyung?” Ryeowook whispers, then he feels kind of silly talking to himself so he says it again in his head. “Kangin-hyung? Is that you?”
“No, Wookie-ah. You’ve gone crazy.”
“Oh, that’s a relief.” Ryeowook says out loud. He gets out of bed and pads across the room, he reaches for the door handle and he’s half way to opening it, then he stops. Wait, going crazy isn’t a good thing. He shuts the door again and makes his way back to his bed. He sits down and sighs heavily.
“You’re not going crazy, Wookie-ah.” Kangin’s voice says. Ryeowook looks around the room, no, he’s definitely alone. There is no one lurking in the shadows, he thinks. “Because if you’ve gone crazy then that means I have too and I, as Korea’s number one handsome guy, am not crazy.”
“Am I in your head or are you in mine?”
Kangin doesn’t answer right away. There is a long, long pause and it’s like Ryeowook can almost feel Kangin thinking about his answer.
“I have no idea.” He says at last.
“Where are you?”
“Boot camp. Hey, do you know what I did earlier?”
“Uh…no.” But Ryeowook has a feeling that Kangin is going to tell him anyway.
“I leapt over the barracks.” Kangin says, there is excitement and wonder in his voice, or at least Ryeowook thinks it’s in Kangin’s voice, he’s still not entirely sure what’s going on here. “It was at the 5am run, I just felt like I could jump really high…so I did.”
“You…you jumped over the barracks?”
“Yeah, it was awesome!”
“You jumped over the barracks and now I’m talking to you in my head?”
“Seems so.”
Ryeowook takes a deep breath, he feels a little nauseous, why is his life like this?
“Awww, shit.” Kangin’s voice says. “I gotta go, we have an inspection.” And then he’s gone. Ryeowook swears he can feel Kangin’s presence leave and his head feels almost empty. He sits there on his bed for a few minutes, listening to the quiet. No one else in the dorm is awake yet, Ryeowook closes his eyes.
“Teukie-hyung?” He thinks in his head.
Nothing.
“Yesung-hyung?”
Still nothing. Ryeowook sighs again. He must have been dreaming. He decides to go an take a walk and clear his crazy head.
*
When he gets back he almost bumps into Siwon who looks like he’s close to panic, his face is chalk white and he’s sweating.
“Hyung? Are you all right? You look a little pale.”
Siwon can’t seem to look at him, instead he flushes and quickly backs away, heads to the door and practically runs out of the dorm.
“Ignore him, Wookie-ah.” Leeteuk says, exasperation lacing his voice. “He’s been acting spooked all morning.” Leeteuk shakes his head and walks away. Ryeowook heads back to his room. He sits there in the quiet and he thinks about Han Geng. At first there is nothing and then…
“Yes, Ryeowook-ah, I can hear you.”
Ok that, it’s confirmed, he’s insane.
“You’re not insane. I can float and Siwon can see through clothes. It’s all good.”
…wait, what?
Ryeowook has to take several deep breaths while Han Geng’s voice whispers soothing words to him…and Siwon. Han Geng is on the phone with him and Ryeowook thinks it’s really, really weird that he can listen in on that conversation when Siwon is at his church and Han Geng is in China.
“Hey.” Another voice says, a real voice, solid and in the room with him. Ryeowook yelps and all but falls off his bed. Kibum is standing by the door, it’s almost like he materializes out of thin air. Ryeowook just stares at him. “Who were you talking to?” Kibum asks, his voice calm, rational, like Ryeowook wasn’t just sitting there talking to himself.
Ryeowook shakes his head forlornly. “You wouldn’t believe me if I told you. I’m not sure I even believe it myself.” Ryeowook looks at his door, it’s closed still and it didn’t open to let Kibum in. “What are you doing here, Kibum?” He asks even though he’s not sure he wants to know the answer. He points a shaking finger towards the door. “Don’t tell me you can walk through walls.”
Kibum laughs, it’s a deep, rich sound. “No Ryeowookie. I can’t walk through walls. I’ve been in here since before you came back in.” Kibum smiles, leans in close and whispers conspiratorially. “I can make myself invisible.”
