~Footsteps. Rushing footsteps.
They can be heard all through out their Headquarters ever since something went wrong with their most important mission of the year.
Footsteps going various directions. Everybody panicking because of what happened.
Their best agents...are now stuck in some parrallel universe.

Without any contact to the HQ.
"Agents Suho, Xiumin, D.O., Baekhyun, Chen, Chanyeol, Kai and Sehun, please respond ASAP once you recieve this message. I repeat, respond ASAP. Agent Kris, over and out." An agent sent another message--again.
"Sir, a total of 12 messages have been sent." The agent--Kris, reported.
"And the responses?"
Kris sighed.
"Zero, sir."
The captain sighed back and told him to get back to his post and monitor any signs of their agents.
He turned around and saw their General approaching.
He made a salute as the General neared.
"Captain Park Bo Gum." He said.
The general dismissed him.
"Hello captain, how's our situation?"
"Sir, there are still no news about our missing agents. But we are keenly monitoring them and trying all the possible ways of contact." Captain said.
The general nodded and observed the-now-messy control room.
"Hmm, well, we can still hope. They're our best agents, I'm sure they'll find a way back." The general said.
Captain Park, although hesitant, agreed.
"Anyways, inform me the moment you get a hold on them. Continue your work Captain." General said and saluted.
"Yes sir! We are one!" Capt. Park saluted.
The general nodded and made his way out of the Control room.
The captain sighed and just looked on in the control room. Tsk, why did it become this messy and out of control? Things were fine just this morning before they went through with their annual mission of exploring the different universes.

(Meanwhile, in a different universe...)
"Will that be all?"
"Yes, thank you."
A teenager and a woman are at a local diner, and they just ordered.
The young man looked outside, before looking at the woman inside.
"I'm telling you, aliens are real." The young man said.
The woman shook her head and looked the teenager in the eyes.
"They're not. Give up on the thought will you?" She replied.
The teenager scoffed.
"I can't believe that you don't believe in them anymore. When we were kids, you had all these books and conspiracy theories about them." He said.
"Exactly! When we were KIDS! I'm a working woman now, and you, you're about to enter your college life for Pete's sake!" The woman exclaimed.
The people at the diner turned their heads at them.
The young man snickered.
"Sorry." The woman said.
The people shook their heads and turned back to their food.
"Shut it." The woman deadpanned.
"Sorry Irene. It's just, I mean, it would be valid to blame you for my addiction to the extraterrestrial beings."
The woman sighed.
"Look Mark, okay, it would be valid. But, it is still your choice to be addicted to them, and don't just call me Irene, I am your sister." The woman said.
The young man, Mark, smiled.
"Touchè." He said.
The waitress came with their orders, and placed them on the table and left, but not before winking at Mark.
Irene shook her head.
"Tsk, even waitresses? Really Mark?" Jane said.
"Woah, I didn't do anything! It was her who winked not me!" Mark said defensively.
Irene shook her head and just ate.

"Still no sign of them?" Capt. Bo Gum asked Agent Kris.
"Sadly sir, none. We already sent out search parties over those we have signals of, discreetly sir." Agent Kris replied.
"Very well then, we have to wait." Capt. Bo Gum said.
"Captain."
A familiar voice called him from behind.
"Captain Seo Joon, what a surprise to see you here." Capt. Bo Gum greeted the newcomer.
The newcomer nodded at him and approached.
"I heard of what's happening, I do hope what happened to Agent Lay doesn't happen to our Ace Agents." Capt. Seo Joon said while clapping Bo Gum on the back.
"They'll be safe. They didn't train for years just to die at some other universe." Bo Gum replied with his eyes still glued on the biggest screen in the control room now showing if they have a signal of their agents or not.
"What are they called again? Your group of Ace Agents? What's their code name?" Seo Joon asked.
Bo Gum faced him.
"EXO they're called EXO."
