-Hawkins, 1988-
Mike and Eleven had just arrived back at the cabin after a long day of high school. The two were inseparable both inside and outside school, everyone was aware of it.
Mike and Eleven stumbled into her room in a heated lip-lock. Mike kicked the door closed with his foot and fell on top of her and a mattress.
He began to quickly pull off articles of her clothing as she fumbled to unbutton his shirt. "My dads... going to be home soon." She said between breaths.
"We've got time." He whispered breathlessly as he hovered over her. Not wanting to argue she pulled down his pants and didn't break the heat.
Several moments of passion passed before Mike fell onto his back beside her. "I can't wait till we graduate...then we can get our own place." He sighed.
"What about college?" Eleven turned onto her side to face him and propped her head onto her hand.
"If it's a different college than yours I'm not going." He informed.
"Mike...you can't-"
"I was separated from you for a year. I love you and won't lose you again." He said sternly.
She smiled and kissed him gently. "I love you too..."
Their moment of content was interrupted by a voice. "El, I'm home." Hopper called.
Their eyes widened. Mike leapt out of bed, quickly pulling up his pants and throwing on his shirt, not bothering to button it.
Eleven locked the door from her bed and motioned for him quickly to hurry.
He shoved his shoes onto his feet before giving her one last kiss and stumbling out the window.
Hopper knocked on the door. "Everything okay in here?" He asked gently.
"Yeah, just changing into more comfortable clothes." She replied as she pulled on a pair of pants and a shirt.
She heard his steps recede and sighed in relief. Once she was fully clothed she unlocked her door and met her father in the living room. "Next time tell Mike to at least try and be quieter." Hopper sighed as he watched the television from the couch.
Eleven struggled to form words. "Oh, Mike wasn't-"
"Save it." He turned to her and raised a brow. "I used to be his age too." He added.
She nodded slowly. "We weren't doing anything just for the record." She said awkwardly.
He simply raised a brow at her before turning back to the tv. "So how was school?" He asked.
She sat beside him on the couch and leaned into him. He wrapped an arm around her as they watched a show. "It was good...pretty much the same as it always is." She informed.
He nodded.
"How was work?" She asked.
"Same as it always is." He smirked. She smiled.
Back at the Wheeler's, Mike trotted down the steps to his basement. "You guys are here early." Mike told his friends who sat on the couch.
"Your mom let us in. She told us you were at El's studying." Dustin laughed. "Your mom is so gullible, you know that right?" He raised a brow.
"We were studying." He argued as he approached them.
"Sure." Lucas smirked.
Mike's cheeks flushed red as he took a seat beside them. "Hopper almost caught us." He leaned back and sighed deeply.
"You would have died." Max informed.
He nodded frantically.
"You're gonna get her pregnant dude." Dustin informed.
"It's called using protection-oh wait, you wouldn't know about that." Mike shot back.
Lucas, Will, and Max laughed while Dustin scowled.
"Having a girlfriend in high school only blinds you from success my friend." Dustin argued.
"Did your mom tell you that?" Lucas raised a brow.
"Yes, actually she did." He smiled.
Mike, Lucas, Max, and Will laughed while Dustin looked confused.
"Why isn't El here anyway?" Will asked.
"She always spends time with Hopper when he gets home from work." Mike stated.
"I never thought Hopper would actually be a good dad." Lucas informed.
"I'm happy she has him." Mike smiled.
"She's made you so soft man." Dustin shook his head.
Mike threw a pillow at him and rolled his eyes. "Are we going to play or not?" Mike raised a brow.
"You in this time Max?" Dustin asked.
"You guys are way to old for this game. I'm out." Max stated.
"We do it for the nostalgia." Dustin argued as he placed his piece on the D&D board.
Back at the cabin Hopper walked away from the dishes and toward the ringing phone. He proceeded to wipe his hands with a towel before walking over to the wall and answering it.
"Chief Hopper speaking." He stated.
"Hey, Chief. It's Florence, we need you down at the station." He informed.
Hopper sighed deeply. "The reason better be good."
"A woman's here. She said her son never came home from school. She didn't call earlier because she was hoping that he was running late." He explained.
Hopper frowned. "Alright I'm on my way." He said before hanging up.
Hopper turned to El who kept her attention on the tv. "I have to head to the station." He informed with regret in his voice.
She looked to him and frowned. "But it's Friday night." She whined.
"Sorry, kid. Some boy went missing." He informed.
She felt an uneasiness come over her. "Relax, he's probably at a friends house or relative." He smiled.
El nodded. "What time will you be back?" She asked.
"Sometime in the middle of the night. Depends how long the parents want to talk." He sighed.
She nodded.
"You'll be okay?" He raised a brow and began pulling his uniform on.
"Of course." She smiled.
He placed on his hat and walked to the door. "Love you, don't stay up late and no Mike." He warned.
"Love you too." She smiled and ignored his warnings.
He left without another word and behind him he heard the locks click.
She ran to the phone and began to dial Mike.
"Mike, El is on the phone for you!" Mike's mother called.
"Oh come on. Really man?" Lucas sighed.
"I'll be right back." He said as he stood and ran up the steps.
He grasped the phone with a smile. "You're what?" He furrowed his brows.
They all watched him from the bottom of the staircase with raised brows.
"On my way." He smiled and hung up quickly.
He ran back down the steps. "Mom, I'm staying the night at Dustin's!" He yelled.
"Okay! Be safe!" She replied.
"Oh he won't." Lucas rolled his eyes.
"You are leaving us to go sleep with your girlfriend?" Dustin raised a brow.
"No, I'm leaving to hang out with her so she's not alone...and." He shrugged. "That to." He added.
"Guess that's our cue to leave." Max said as she stood.
He followed them as they walked out the back. He then unlocked his car and waved goodbye to them. "Use protection!" Dustin yelled.
He rolled his eyes and drove away.
Eleven sat on the couch and waited impatiently. Several minuets passed before she heard a knock. The secret knock her and Mike had come up with, it differed from Hopper's only slightly.
She unlocked the door and waited for him to step inside. When he didn't she furrowed her brows and walked over to it. She opened it and saw that he wasn't there. She took another step outside and observed. "Mike, this isn't funny." She called.
No answer.
She then walked back inside, closed the door and began to walk back to the couch. Before she made it to the couch she jumped in shock when the door flew open and several armed soldiers ran through.
She quickly jumped into action, throwing soldiers into walls or doors. Others would quickly have their necks snapped or a bookcase thrown at them. No matter how many she took out more flooded in.
Her heart raced and vision blurred with pure adrenaline. She wouldn't be taken again. She couldn't.
She continued to take out soldiers until she began to slowly weaken. Maybe that was their plan all along. As soon as she began to slow on her attack, she felt a swift prick to her neck.
Her vision clouded and limbs weakened. She then felt herself stumble forward until she hit the ground unconscious.
With not a word spoken, her body was gathered and taken away swiftly. All that was left was the damage she had created and the bodies they had left.
Mike pulled into the gravel driveway of the cabin and immediately felt an uneasiness. He had no clue why but trusted his consciousness.
He stepped out of his car and approached the doorway. As he drew closer he noticed cracks in the windows and burnt out lights. The door was closed but along the frame several new splintering cracks could be seen.
He quickly did the secret knock eager for a reply. His heart raced uncontrollably, so much so that he didn't bother knocking again. He quickly opened the door and felt his world crumble into pieces.
He observed the bloodied bodies of soldiers scattered along the floor, along with glass, books, and broken furniture. "El!" He yelled as he quickly ran through the house.
"Eleven!" His voice cracked as he continued to look.
Seeing no sign of her, he nearly broke down into tears. He tried to remain positive as he quickly walked to phone and dialed Hopper.
"Hello, this is Hawkins Poli-"
"Where's Hopper. I need to speak to him now it's about his daughter." Mike spoke urgently.
"One moment." A voice replied quickly.
Several moments passed with Mike's uneasiness building. "Mike what's wrong?" Hopper's voice came full of immense concern.
"I came to the cabin but El wasn't here. She still isn't- there's bodies everywhere-broken things." Mike spoke quickly as he began to break into small tears.
He was met with silence on the phone.
"What...bodies?" Hopper asked hollowly.
"Soldiers...they look like the ones from the lab but that's impossible. We shut them down." Mike ran a hand through his hair nervously.
"They found her..." Hopper's voice replied through the phone quietly.
"Who?- Hopper we need to find her, I-"
"Stay there I'm on my way." Hopper replied before hanging up.
Mike slammed the phone against the wall mount and then proceeded to press his forehead against the wall. His face contorted into pain as tears ran down his cheeks and fist slammed against the wall.
He felt as though he was stuck in a dream-no...a nightmare. How could someone you had seen just moments ago disappear so fast. He had no idea if he would see her again or when that would be. He broke at the fact that he would not know if their earlier goodbye was the last.
Several minutes of silence and agony passed before Hopper stepped through the door. He stood still as he observed the bodies on the floor with pure disbelief.
He turned to Mike, who sat at the kitchen table. His eyes were red from the irritation caused by his crying. He sucked in deep sharp breaths as he tried to control his emotions.
Hopper slowly walked over to him with tears welling in his eyes. Mike was suddenly shook out of his trans when Hopper through a chair across the room. "Damnit!" He screamed.
Mike watched him and didn't say a word.
"I should have never left her...this is my fault." Hopper pressed a hand to his forehead and began to cry.
"It's not your fault. We couldn't have known-"
"We were naive idiots. I was stupid to think we closed them down for good." Hopper scowled.
"It's been nearly five years since we shut them down. We couldn't have known." Mike argued.
"Is that what you're going to tell yourself so you can sleep tonight?" Hopper raised a brow.
Mike clenched his jaw feeling a wave of anger. He stood up causing the chair to fall backward. "While you stay here blaming yourself I'm going to go out and find her." He scowled before leaving.
Hopper looked to the bodies on the floor with a face full of despair and rage. "If you can hear me kid...come back home." He whispered and wiped his tears.
Refusing to believe his daughter was gone he decided to take Mike's advise. Just like Mike, he would stop at nothing to find her and bring her home.
