"Yoongi-ssi, you know why I don't use my powers anymore."

Jisoo was perched on top of the counter of her store, her arms folded stubbornly across her chest. Ji-Hu, who was beside her, laid a hand on her shoulder supportively.

'I do know," nodded Yoongi. "And I'm sorry to bring this up with you, but we honestly might not have another option. The leaders want to make a move as soon as initiation is over, we're running out of time."

"They already know we're Divergent," said Ji-Hu. "The only reason they've left us be is because we've done nothing to disturb society since we completed our own initiation.

"That's all the more reason for you to help," sighed Yoongi. He felt sorry for the two of them, he really did, but it was hard to get through to them without being too harsh. "Look... you can stay here in your little bubble, and keep doing what you're doing and ignoring what's going on, but the thing is, like you just said, they already know. And they will come in for you, wether you like it or not. They want to get rid of every single one of us. So the way I see it, you can sit around and wait til they come for you, or you can try and help us fight our way out of here."

Ji-Hu and Jisoo stared at him, both of them speechless for a moment.

"Okay," sighed Jisoo. "But... what, you want me to listen in to what they're planning? You realise I can't sit here and do it, right? I've got to be at least close enough to them to be able to hear anything, and if they see me hanging around they'll immediately suspect something."

"We'll set something up so you can do it without them noticing," said Yoongi. "There are a lot of Divergents in this initiation class, and we've got at least two new shields on our side. We're better prepared than we've ever been for something like this to happen, we just need to pull ourselves together, and work out a plan."

"I'll do it," Jisoo nodded. She didn't look happy about her decision, as she glanced at Ji-Hu, but he gave her an encouraging smile.

"Have you spoken with Mi-Reu and Sehyun?" Ji-Hu asked.

"No," said Yoongi. "I was hoping you would, since you know them so well. Let them know what's going on. At some stage we'll need to get everyone together and talk about this, but in the mean time, we'll see if Jisoo can get some information out of the leaders. I'm thinking if you try for a meal time, wait outside the hall and see if you can hear through the walls, that would probably be your best chance at being unobtrusive about it."

"I'll try," Jisoo nodded.

"Thank you," said Yoongi, giving her a genuine smile.

"You too Yoongi. It's good to see you again. And nice to meet you, Tayeon."

Tayeon, who'd been silent for the entire discussion, smiled at Jisoo and Ji-Hu.

"Nice to meet you too."
