Rock you Like a Hurricane

He's licking his lips
He's ready to win
On the hunt tonight for love at first sting
Here I am
Rock you like a hurricane
Here I am
Rock you like a hurricane

To say Eleven was nervous for her first day of public school would be an understatement. She chewed on her bottom lip, chewed on her thumb nails, and even changed her outfit a couple of times. She was used to the presence of her select group of friends, but public school would be making her open up to strangers in ways she wasn't entirely sure she was ready for.

"Hey, stop that," Dani mutters, gently slapping Eleven's hand from her mouth. "You're going to be fine."

"Am I?"

"Yes. Because not only do you have Dustin's crazy butt to make other kids feel uncomfortable, but you have Max in your corner. Billy's little protégé won't let anything happen to you."

"If you say so."

"I know so. Now come with me. We need to cover up our tattoos." Eleven follows Dani into the bathroom where Dani then proceeds to dab and blend concealer over the tattoo on the young girl's arm. "Billy says we shouldn't be ashamed of our pasts, and I'm not, but I rather no one start asking why such a young girl has a tattoo. We don't need questions after we worked so hard to have normal lives."

"Agreed."

"Good. As for me, I'll be wearing a band-aid. I'm pretty sure I'll be showering after P.E and I don't want the makeup to wash off." After placing a band-aid over her own tattoo, Dani then walks back out into her room and slips on a pair of boots. "Alright, so let's go. Dad's already left for work, so your cool older sister gets to drop you off."

Eleven's lips finally twitch into a smile and she's quick to go grab her backpack from the couch. Dani lost count of how many times she told the younger girl a backpack wasn't needed on her first day, but she was too excited to care and Nathan told Dani to leave her be. Then making sure she had her own notebook and pen, Dani pockets some cash and plucks her car keys from the bowl by the front door.

Once settled in the Firebird and making sure Eleven buckles up, the engine roars to life and TNT by AC/DC blares from the speakers. Both girls flinch and the music immediately cuts off, and Dani knows how it was done when sniffling fills the silence.

"You're going to have to be careful with that," Dani says, slowly raising the volume until it's at a tolerable level. "Don't let your powers be controlled by your emotions. You're likely to be jumpy until you become used to your environment, so be careful to not let your powers lash out."

"O-Okay."

Since the middle school and high school are practically next door to one another, Dani rolls into the high school parking lot. She easily spots Billy's blue Camaro and can see her boyfriend lounging in the driver's seat- sunglasses shielding his eyes and a cigarette dangling from between his lips.

Dani revs her engine, grinning when Billy's head lolls to the side and stares in her direction. Max, who's sitting in the passenger seat of the Camaro perks up, rolling her eyes when Billy revs the Camaro's engine in return. The other students lingering around glance between the two vehicles, the girls glaring and the boys staring with appreciation.

Max is exiting the Camaro just as Dani parks and cuts her engine, and Eleven scrambles from the car to rush to the middle school with her friend. Dani smiles when the rest of their group meets them halfway and she collects her notebook before exiting her car, locking it.

Billy's tongue swipes across his bottom lip upon Dani's presence, he immediately tucking her under his arm and kissing her temple. "Heya, Princess. Sleep good?"

"Obviously," she muses. "Ready for the day?"

"Not even close, but we gotta do what we gotta do."

"That we do."

Dani looks around the parking lot, meeting several gazes as she does so. She doesn't offer them anything, keeping her expression neutral, but the envious stares do garner a smirk which results in sneers and a dramatic flip of hair before they stomp off.

"You're going to be trouble today, aren't 'ya?" Billy wonders.

"Only if they give me reason to be trouble."

He chuckles. "Fair enough."

Billy pushes them off the Camaro, his arm slipping from her shoulders so that his hand slides into her back right jean's pocket. Dani raises her eyebrows at him. "Really?"

He squeezes her cheek through the material of her jeans. "What? You staked your claim at the party and I'm staking mine now."

"Whatever you say, hot shot. Let's just get this day over with."

With her notebook held to her chest and Billy's hand in her back pocket, Dani walks into Hawkins High with her head held high and a smirk on her lips.

- X -

Classes for Dani went exactly as expected what with being the new girl everyone wanted to know whether it was because she was new or because she had done what every girl in Hawkins had failed to do- claim Billy Hargrove for herself.

Lunchtime was quite the affair with Tommy H. being his usual dick self. Billy had walked Dani to his usual table, but at the first sexist joke Dani was done. She rolled her eyes and tried to tune him out as best as she could, but his idiotic laugh and sexual comments were just too much for her to handle. All it took was the combination of the words of dyke and Buckley, and Billy was too slow to catch his girlfriend before her fist went flying and busted his friend's nose.

Half the cafeteria went quiet at Tommy's shout and the rest were silenced at Carol's shriek. At the shrill words of, "Who do you think you are?!", Dani shoved her chair back and jumped to her feet. The trays rattled by some unseen force, but the only one who took notice was Billy as everyone else was preoccupied with the impending girl fight.

"Alright. This is not happening," Billy had said, jumping to his feet and tugging Dani away. "Settle it down, Lewis," he had then murmured near her ear.

As Carol screamed some more before coddling her shitty boyfriend, Billy led Dani over to the table with Steve, Nancy, and Robin where she was welcomed with high fives and laughter.

Later, after the incident in the cafeteria, it seemed the female population got a little more hostile under Carol's command. Touching Tommy was grounds for being bullied, but unfortunately for them Dani wasn't one to take things lying down. Not anymore.

The final bell has rung and Dani's barely exited the classroom when someone knocks into her. The girl tries to play it off as an accident and even keeps Dani occupied by apologizing, but the growing circle of girls suddenly leads Dani to believe it was all a setup. Smile slowly falling, Dani mildly glares at the small crowd forming around her.

"Danielle Lewis," the apparent ring leader smiles. "Girlfriend of Billy Hargrove. What a joke," she then scoffs, angling her head towards her now giggling friends.

Steeling herself, Dani says, "Funny. Here I thought the joke was one of Billy's ex flings being pissy because he didn't call her for round two."

The oohing from the gathered crowd makes the bully's smile fall. "Enjoy your time with him, new girl. He'll grow bored soon enough. You're nothing but a mere loser."

"I might be a loser, but I'm the loser fucking your precious keg king."

There's a sharp bark of laughter, almost cruel, and nearly everyone turns towards the source. Billy's leaning against the lockers not far from where Dani is, blue eyes glinting dangerously.

"Oh. Billy! I didn't see you there," the school bully tries and fails to be coy.

"Of course you didn't," he drawls. "Otherwise you wouldn't be harassing my girlfriend right in front of me. It was one lousy lay, sweetheart. You need to let it go."

Her innocent facade immediately drops. "Yeah? Well whatever. You have a small dick anyway."

Dani snorts as the girl dramatically flips her already shortly cropped hair, she stumbling as she's shoulder checked. Dani's amusement immediately falls, she then turning to allow her now narrowed gaze to follow after the girl. Head tilting, Dani subtly jerks her head in a nod and the girl Billy had previously slept with is shoved harshly from behind. The girl yelps as she's suddenly sent sprawling, her friends rushing to help her up, and then Dani finds a mass blocking her gaze.

Seeing a familiar necklace dangling in front of her vision, Dani glances up and pastes on an innocent smile. "Hey, baby."

"That was mean," he grins. "What happened to not letting these girls get the best of you?"

Her smile drops as she rolls her eyes, laughing. "It was an accident."

"Bullshit."

"Shut up and kiss me, Hargrove. I did that mostly for you anyway. She called you small." Billy's hands settle on her waist before trailing to the small of her back, both of them grinning as his hands then slide down into the back pocket of her jeans. "You're totally an ass guy."

"Can you blame me?" His hands squeeze and Dani's eyes widen as she punches his arm.

"Quit it!"

"As you wish, Princess." He leans down and quickly pecks her lips. "Let's get going."

With one hand left tucked into her back pocket, Billy then leads them down the hallway and outside into the student parking lot. As they make their way to their cars, Billy's surprised to already see Max waiting for him. Around her are all her little friends, but his attention is quickly settled on Eleven who refuses to lift her head.

"What happened to her?" He asks.

"It wasn't her fault!" Max immediately defends.

Billy's eyebrows raise in surprise and curiosity, but it's Dani who steps forward and gently raises Eleven's head. Seeing the smear of blood below her nose, she asks, "What happened?"

"I failed you," Eleven mumbles. "But she- she made me so angry!"

"Yeah. She was being really bitchy!" Dustin blurts.

"Totally," Lucas agrees, Mike eagerly nodding alongside his friend.

Billy laughs just as Dani gently taps the tip of Eleven's nose. "Chin up, little sister. We all have our mishaps."

Her eyes dart to meet Dani's gaze. "Even you?"

"Especially her," Billy muses. "Go on, kid, and ask her what happened right before we walked out here."

Dani glares over her shoulder and he winks in return, and then all the kids are staring at Dani for an answer. She sighs. "I also might have used my powers on some totally bitchy girl."

Max slowly grins. "Might have?"

"She called me a loser," Dani pouts. The kids all laugh. "So I told her that I might have been a loser, but I was the loser fucking her precious keg king." The kids all then groan with the exception of Eleven who giggles. "She also told everyone your brother had a small dick after he called her a lousy lay."

"Enough!" Max shouts, clamping her hands over her ears. "We're just kids! We don't need to know this."

"You asked." Dani smirks at all the disgusted looks, she then winking at Eleven who's all smiles now. "I don't expect you to control it right away, but just keep in mind that not everything can be resolved by using our powers."

"I will."

"Good. Now," she says, clapping her hands and looking around, "who needs a ride home?"


The first month of school passes fairly quickly.

Eleven is still struggling with the concept of homework, but with Max at her side Nathan is saved the headache from having to remember how to do middle school homework, especially since it evolved from the time he was a kid. She also seems to have settled in with the other kids her age, and it's surprisingly Dani who's having to constantly deal with bullies. Fortunately for Nathan's peace of mind, Dani's got tough skin and one hell of an intimidating boyfriend when need be.

And speaking of Dani and Billy, Nathan started letting his daughter's boyfriend spend the night in her room so long as the bedroom door remained opened little by little. He wasn't naïve enough to think they weren't up to anything, but so long as they were safe and didn't get up to any funny business while he was in the house then he didn't want to know what they did with all their free time. So since they weren't exactly quiet when their clothes came off, Dani and Billy usually had to wait until after school when Nathan was at work and Eleven was at one of her friend's houses to really have some fun.

Today was one of those days they had the house to themselves after school, their clothing being flung around Dani's room before she was pressed up against her bedroom door and roughly fucked. She had been particularly needy and he gave her exactly what she needed- against the door, bent over the counter in front of her bathroom mirror, and then her in his lap against the headboard of her bed.

They'd spent a little under an hour teasing and fucking, and then slid back into their underwear before napping until an alarm woke them before Nathan got home.

However, neither were expecting for Eleven and Max to show up unexpectedly.

Dani and Billy are sleeping comfortably- her back to his chest and his arm draped over her waist- when the bedroom door bang opens. The couple startles awake, jerking into an upright position.

"Three inches!" Eleven shouts, she and Max cackling at their startled expressions.

Their amusement falters, however, when they see the wild look in Dani and Billy's eyes.

"Is that- is that a shadow dagger?" Max asks, incredulously.

Billy groans and falls flat on his back, and Dani unclenches her fist- the onyx looking dagger collapsing in a mist-like form before disappearing altogether. "Goddammit, guys," she grumbles, falling back into bed. "Don't do that."

"It's late and no one was answering their phone." Max shrugs. "We thought this was payback enough for that sex talk you put us through."

"And we didn't hear happy screams, so we figured it was safe."

Billy snorts and Dani cracks open one of her eyes. "Noted. Now get out."

"But-"

"Get out, you crotch goblins!" Dani waves her arm at the door, it slamming shut in their grinning faces.


Before anyone knew it, Halloween was then upon them.

It was the first year that the Lewis' could enjoy their holidays, so Nathan and Dani decided to have fun with it. Fake gravestones were planted in the yard and skeletal limbs were clawing their way out of the ground. Cobwebs were draped around bushes and all around the porch, and strobe lights were mounted in the corners of the porch roof.

"Are you positive you don't want to go to this party with me?" Billy asks as his girlfriend flutters about the kitchen.

"For the last time," Dani laughs, "no."

"This isn't some test, is it?"

"Nope. Go out and have fun. I'm gonna stay with my dad and pass out candy," Dani tells him, coming to a stop before him. "He's gonna grill burgers and dogs, and we're just- we get to do the whole normal family thing for once. The station even gave him the night off for this."

Billy faintly smiles and places his hands on her hips, dragging her closer so she's standing between his knees. "Okay."

"Okay. But if I find out any part of you was up some random skirt or shirt, I'm gonna castrate you."

He chuckles and pulls her down to sit on his knee. "There's the jealous girlfriend I was looking for."

"Mhm. You better keep that in mind when the groupies circle you tonight." Dani leans in to chastely kiss him, quickly hopping back up and readying things once more for later that night before he can deepen it.

-X-

Sitting patiently on the bathroom counter, Dani holds still as her dad finishes up her Halloween makeup. No one really knows, but Nathan Lewis is a whiz when it comes to applying makeup, no matter if it is normal makeup or Halloween makeup.

"..and done!"

She hops off the counter and turns around to look at herself in the mirror. Nathan has made her face look skeletal to match the skin tight, black long sleeve shirt she's wearing that has the upper half of a skeleton printed on it. Her shirt is tucked into a black skater skirt and black boots adorn her feet. She's wearing black on black on black, and she feels absolutely spooky.

"I love it."

"Me too, kid. You ready for tonight?"

"Yep. Nancy's got the drinks in the ice chest, Steve cleaned the grill for you to use, and Robin set up the candy table."

"Jeez, kid," Nathan then chuckles. "What did you do? It seems like you had your friends do everything."

"Hey!" She laughs. "I helped with the candy table and then I had to help El get into costume. Nancy and Steve were all too happy to help."

"Mhmm. Don't they have a party to go to like Billy?"

"Billy's got a reputation to uphold." Dani huffs, grinning. "Steve hasn't really been the party type since Nancy broke up with him at one, Nancy was never really a party person to begin with, and Robin rather do something with a family than deal with drunk and hormonal teenagers." Nathan grins at that and she rolls her eyes. "You're loving this, aren't you? You like having a full house."

"Can you blame me? We can finally breathe, kid. We can do all these things we've always wanted to but couldn't, and I have a house full of loud mouths that I can send home at any given time when they get on my nerves."

Dani laughs. "If you say so. Now go do whatever it is you're going to do. It's almost six which means El's friends should be here any minute and I need to be outside to start passing out candy."

After re-styling her hair into a messy ponytail, Dani steps outside and strikes a few poses when Robin wolf whistles. Eleven is standing by the candy table, her red cape billowing in the cool breeze. She's the most adorable Red Riding Hood Dani's ever seen and she can't wait to see Mike dressed up as a werewolf.

Dani's passing out candy to the younger children who are out and about before the sun sets when the familiar sound of an engine revving catches her attention. She glances towards the curb where Billy's dropping off Max who's dressed as Princess Leia. When he parks and starts to get off himself, Dani's brow furrows before asking Robin to take over candy duty.

Meeting her boyfriend halfway, Dani immediately wraps her arms around his neck and kisses his cheek to keep it PG since there are children around. "Hey! What are you doing? I thought you were going to the party."

"I am, but I'm not going to wait at my house until I leave. Nice costume, by the way. Who did your makeup?"

Stepping back, Dani twirls before facing Billy once more. "My dad did it. If you ask nicely, I'm sure he'll do your face for you."

He grins. "Nah. I think I'm good."

"Fine. Well go say hello. I need to get back on candy duty. I'm already having so much fun!"

"You're ridiculous." Billy and Dani startle when music suddenly blares, everyone staring at Steve who's grimacing as he fiddles with a boombox. And once he gets the volume under control, Dani realizes he's playing a tape that has the Michael Myers theme song on loop. "I take it back. Harrington is ridiculous."

Laughing, Dani grabs onto Billy's hand and leads him towards the candy table. "Shush. Have a kit kat or something."

There's a sudden incline in noise and Dani looks towards the source to see Mike, Dustin, and Lucas being dropped off. Mike's hair is mussed and he's wearing a red and black plaid long sleeve. It's torn in places so fake fur peeks out, and he has furry rubber gloves on with elongated claws, and torn jeans. Lucas is C-3PO and Dustin is R2-D2.

Billy scoffs. "They're not even dating and they're still matching."

Dani pinches his wrist, chuckling. "Leave them alone," she tells him. "Apparently the boys always match, but with Will gone and Mike doing the whole couple's costume with El, Max didn't want Lucas and Dustin to be too bummed out. It was nice of her to do the Star Wars theme with them."

"Whatever. I'm going to go chill with your dad."

"'Kay. See me before you leave."

"Will do."
