"Aera?" Yoongi cleared his throat as he tried to hear her voice, confirming that she is connected to the base.

"Two floors cleared." Her voice boomed through the monitor making all of them stiffen. Yoongi huffed out before dragging a revolving chair next to Minhyuk.

"Copy that."

"Where is Choi? Lead me there." Yoongi turned back to look at the others who were watching the operation with full attention. His eyes wandered over to Mira who was silently sniffling while snuggling next to Hoseok as she smiled at him. Yoongi doubted if she was actually aloof of the fact that her brother was now the subject of discussion or maybe she was just over him. Her hands clutched tightly onto Hoseok's , scared of getting separated again.

"Get out of that building and enter the main unit. He is on the third floor." He said as Minhyuk jabbed at a few keys making the CCTVs of the main unit appear on the screen.

"I will lead you."

Jieun exhaled in nervousness as she stared at the screen. Her legs were itching to run out and go help Aera.

"Yoongi, let me go back. Aera is alone there." Jieun prodded but received just an indignant click of Yoongi's tongue.

"I can't allow that."
His answer was plain and straight.

"Yoongi, I need to be there." She insisted, more of like growled in desperation, but Yoongi completely ignored her.

"Keep quiet. And let me concentrate."

"Now where?" Aera asked as she sauntered up the stairs carefully, avoiding making any kind of noise.

"Straight from there, the fourth room to the left of the hallway." He said as Minhyuk navigated the CCTVs to catch hold of any intruder who would obstruct her path.

"Wait!" He bellowed making Aera stop. All of them could see her reach out to the back as she pulled her gun out of the upholstery. Her heavy breathing being the only noise resonating in the control room except the ascension of footsteps towards her.

"Guy to your left. Coming through in six." Minhyuk notified.

Aera exhaled before counting to five as she emerged out of her hiding spot at the last waiting second. Pulling the guy aside she jabbed him at his neck, taking him completely by surprise. He tried to hit her back and attack but she had the upper arm. She elbowed him in the face making him saunter back a bit in daze and with a last kick, the guy rolled down the stairs, groaning in pain. She quickly walked up to him as she snatched his snapback and his jacket, wearing it herself.

Her alias was convincing enough as she placed the nozzle of the gun at the guy's head who fearfully looked at her. For a moment she felt pity. Her mind ran thoughts of how he must have a family. A wife and children to go back. A family for whom he was working in a sinful place like the one she was standing. But then earning quick money by destroying other families was never polite.

"Stop overthinking. Her head will hurt." Yoongi's voice spoke through her in ear.

Rose looked at him in horror as she played back what she heard and the implication on what he was asking Aera to do. She felt her heart twist when she saw Aera stand through that huge monitor as she aimed the gun again and this time she saw the gun getting fired and the man laying limp beside her feet. The silencer on the pistol may have made the piercing noise of the gunshot numb but the sight of seeing somebody getting killed was excruciatingly horrible.

"Oh my God..." she whispered as her hold on Jungkook's shirt tightened.

Aera emotionlessly climbed the stairs again while watching her way as she tucked her gun back and out of sight. A group of men getting out of an adjacent room made Jieun gulp as she flinched reaching out to warn her but Aera smoothly mixed in with them, making sure they knew nothing of the new member that was walking with them.

"Good. Keep going."

Yoongi watched like a hungry predator for anything that could harm Aera. Although she was very much capable of taking care of herself, he was paranoid for her safety to a very great extent when she was literally playing with fire.

"Boss." Aera listened carefully to each and everything they were talking. Her ears prodded every now and then when she heard Choi Woonsung speaking. Her patient temperament was actually coming into use right then. She knew that she was under surveillance and that everything that was being said around her was wiretapped.

"He is bound there sir. Park Jimin won't be going anywhere any time soon." One of the guy said making Choi Woonsung chuckle.

"Once I get my hands over MYTHE, I would be unstoppable. My power would be unbelievably huge. I would rule." He breathed in his ego thinking and dreaming of his victory but has the devil ever won?

"We will go take a look at those flimsy guys." One of them spoke as they turned to leave.

"Now."

Yoongi's order made Aera smirk as she kicked the door close as she rolled a smoke bomb towards the centre of the room. Covering her mouth and nose, with her eyes tightly closed she made her way through them all silently killing them. Leaving the big prize for the last, the silenced gun left nothing but faint thump noises as the bodies fell down one by one.

Anger with the despair of losing a close family to her who had wanted to do the same but had failed owing to the lack of support was the driving force for Aera. She waited in complete silence as the coughing noise of the only one alive person other than her in the room scampered around to find a way to breath in the thick smoke.

Yoongi waited without blinking as he watched the smoke in the room slowly disperse. Aera stood a few feet from a crouching Choi Woonsung who was wheezing while holding the arm of his chair. Groaning in pain, he tried to look around to find who was the reason he was in the state presently.

"Who...WHO ARE YOU?" He shouted as his hands rubbed at his eyes. Aera removed the mask covering her face as she silently watched him.

"I asked who the fuck are you?" He gritted his teeth as his vision seemed to slowly come back to the degree of visibility where he could gather things around him.

"Nobody that you need to know." She answered monotonously.

"What—" he opens his eyes wide to see all his men lie in the puddle of their own blood as he made sense of the shrieks and shouts he had heard sometime ago. His brain refused to register that this massacre was brought upon by the woman who stood in format of him but the splattered blood on her face and her blood stained hands spoke the untold story.

"You killed them." He whispered as he looked around.

"I did." She said with her uplifted chin.

"You think this is going to scare me?" He laughed.

In that moment, Aera could see the maniac in him that was hungry for power, for dominance over people. The urge to see people below him. The confidence of achieving everything he wanted but the urge was lethal.

"Min Yoona. Rings a bell?" She asked as she leaned back. She watched as Choi Woonsung sat down on his chair behind his desk, ignoring the bloody scene in front of him. It showed how unaffected he was to the death of the men who worked for him.

"Who—ohh. That female officer." He raised his eyebrows.

"You are here for her revenge, aren't you?" He asked as he swung his leg over the other.

"I haven't taken that into consideration yet." She silently muttered. She was actually trying hard not to think of the mission as a way to seek revenge for Yoona's death. It was a mission where she was hired to protect Jimin and his family. But she was too deep in this.

"She was a tough one. I will give her that. Fought my men till her last breath." He said amusedly.

"You find it fun to torture women?" She asked as she slid the other side of the door.

"Yeah." He chuckled.
"It's fun to see those inferior weak creatures writhing under me when I dominate them. The perfect way to do business. What else could I ask for?" He said.

Inferior weak creatures. Shaming woman and the female population in all his sanity made Aera grit her teeth. In a world where both men and women were practicing equality, Choi Woonsung proved himself a jackass.

"What an asshole." Taehyung remarked as he looked at Yoongi who was breathing heavily.

"Don't be aggressive. Keep calm Aera. You can't loose it, right now." Minhyuk said as he paused from his typing.

Aera heaved a breath as she opened her mouth to speak but the door to her left opened, hiding her behind it.
