AN (this is my first story on here, I hope you enjoy it. Also one thing you may need to know ahead of time so it isn't confusing is that this story is set in modern day. God bless!)

Jane stared at it, biding her time as she listened to that vexing buzzing. She counted down the seconds in her head and smiled when she reached zero, soon as she did her patience was rewarded with two perfect golden Eggos popping out of the toaster. After this she walked into the living room, the Eggos floating right behind her. She frowned slightly at what she saw in there, her husband, Mike, was staring straight at the TV watching the latest news about Brightburn. She sighed and asked her husband. "Is he doing it again?"

Mike turned around and grimly nodded, he then turned the TV off with a click of the remote. Mike ran a hand through his mop of dark hair in frustration before telling Jane. "I just don't know why someone would waste that much power like that. He could be using that power to help people, but what is he using it for?" He paused for a few seconds to let the rhetorical question linger in the air before answering it. "To murder people, that's what. You would think a kid would want to be a superhero wouldn't you?"

Jane agreed with this sentiment and both were quiet for a short while. Then Jane remembered something important, she hadn't eaten her Eggo yet and it would be getting cold, so she pulled them both towards her with her mind and quickly devoured both. As she did so Mike began to laugh, she looked at him curiously and he just told her he'll make himself a bowl of cereal. She blushed and tried to apologize, but all of her words were muffled by the food still in her mouth, This caused Mike to chuckle harder as he got off the couch. "Don't worry about it," was the last thing he said before going inside the kitchen.

As he was in the kitchen she glanced at one of the picture frames on the wall and smiled, it was a picture of them and all their friends and family on their wedding day back in ninety three. Mike was trying to cut everyone a slice of wedding cake and she was glaring at the cake impatiently, Dustin, who was sitting just three seats down from her, was doing the same. She frowned when she saw her father, Jim Hopper, she still missed him even though it's been a few years now since he passed away. She shook her head and looked away from the photo, there was no need to dwell on that. Unfortunately for her, as she turned her head away from that photo, she saw another photo that dug up much worse memories, it was of a little dark haired girl with pale skin and brown eyes, standing alone in a field of flowers. Jane was filled with guilt and found herself stuck there, forced to think about what could've been.

After a few minutes passed by, she was shaken out of her thoughts by the ringing of the doorbell. She started to make her towards the front door, but her husband popped out in front of her from the kitchen and told her not to worry about it. He grasped the door handle and pulled the door open, before immediately slamming it shut again. He turned around and looked at his wife with fear in his eyes and whispered. "It's them," she simply sighed at this and told him not to worry about it, she tried to give him a comforting smile to assuage his worry as she passed him by, it had only a small amount of success.

She opened the door and wasn't surprised to see the two men in black suits waiting for her on the other side. The younger looking of the two seemed to be about thirty, he had tanned skin and blonde hair. One of the first things she noticed about him was how impatient and annoyed he seemed, she would later notice his hand was never far away from his holster. The older looking of the two appeared to be about fifty, he was bald with dark skin, and unlike his companion he seemed much calmer.

As soon as she opened the door the younger of the two looked like he was about to go on a tirade, but thankfully was interrupted before he could even begin with the older of the two speaking first. "Apologies Mrs Wheeler for showing up unannounced like this, but please let me introduce myself and my subordinate." When he said subordinate the younger of the two scowled. "My name is Simon Graves, and my subordinate here is Jack Graves," she raised an eyebrow at this and asked if they were related, Simon seemed to expect this question while Jack seemed offended by it. "Yes, Jack here is my older brother… I do realize that could be hard to believe but that's getting off topic. We work with the FBI and we came here to discuss with you a certain topic that's been making the news recently, but out here isn't exactly the ideal spot to do that, so do you mind letting us come in?" She told the two it was alright and ushered them both in, Jack glared spitefully at Mike as he walked past him.

Soon they were all sitting on the couch and an awkward silence reigned over them all, the only noise in the room was the ticking of a clock. Mike hopping to end the silence asked the two agents. "So what brings you here?"

Before Simon could answer the question Jack answered it. "We're here to take subject Eleven with us so she can eliminate the threat that is Brightburn."

With this statement everyone in the room glared at Jack with various degrees of hate and annoyance, Jack for his part could care less what they all thought. After a few tense seconds past Simon began to tug at his collar and spoke. "I apologize for my subordinate's... lack of tact Mrs Wheeler, but he did pretty much describe our purpose here, of course, it's all up to you on whether or not you wish to come with us. Personally, I would completely understand if you didn't wish to come, fighting Brightburn does see-" She interrupted Simon by asking for him to give her a moment, she wanted to talk to her husband about this, Simon told her to go ahead.

Mike and her both got up and made their way to the kitchen, as soon as they walked inside Mike asked her. "You can't seriously be considering this, can you?"

She nodded and replied. "You remember when you told me about a wise man who once said,'With great power comes great responsibility,' well don't you?" Mike's eyes widened at this and he quickly pointed out that was from Spiderman. Jane said, "Oh," she then became silent for a moment before pointing out how that didn't make her point any less accurate.

Mike sighed at this. "At least promise me you'll stay safe," she smiled before telling him she'll try.

While the couple were discussing all this, Jack and Simon were discussing something completely different. "Why'd you call her a subject you numbskull, did you even read the file?" Jack defended himself by claiming he was only calling her what she was, that got him slapped by Simon. They grew silent after this until Simon noticed something on the wall, a photo of a girl that looked uncannily similar to their current asset. Putting aside his personal distaste for the intern, he nudged him with his shoulder. "Hey Jack, see that photo over there?" Jack looked up from his phone and cursed when he saw the photo. "Kid looks just like her doesn't she?" Jack agreed with this and pointed out how the file didn't mention anything about children. Jack went to get up, but Simon grabbed his arm. "What are you doing?"

Jack looked at him as if he was stupid. "Going to arrest the two for not reporting this to the Government, they should've known we could've used an asset like that." Now it was Simon turn to look at Jack as if he was stupid, (not implying he isn't) having a lack of words at such sheer insanity Simon elected to do the only thing he could, slap Jack silly.

By the time Mike and Jane walked back into the room, both of the men were settled down, but as soon as he saw Jane, Jack couldn't help but ask with a smug grin on his face. (believing this could be his big break) "Did you two have a child without telling us?" Jane and Mike both looked like they had been punched in the gut, and Simon was getting ready to punch Jack in the gut. But ultimately there was no need for such an action because Jane spoke up.

"Yes, we did, we told you people about her and they didn't care." Jack then asked about where she was then, Jane simply informed him that she was dead. While Jack didn't believe her and wanted to press the question, the look from Simon that promised nothing less than a slow painful death made him shut up for once.

Simon once again apologized for his subordinate's actions and for her loss, she informed him that it's been at least a decade, so most of the pain was gone, no one in the room believed her words, including herself. Jack looking to change the subject once he realized this wasn't going to be his key to rising up the ranks so he could obtain unlimited power, asked if she decided on whether or not she was coming with them. She sighed and said yes, Jack did a little fist pump while Simon thanked her for agreeing.

After a tearful goodbye with her husband, and then spending at least three hours driving around town doing the same with all of her friends and family, the trio left Hawkins Indiana behind them in the agents old beat up white truck.
