Annoyed, Brenner slammed his hand down on the table.
He'd lost all his kids. First 003, then 001, then 002-018, then finally 011.
All of the kids were dead except, 001, 004, 006,008, 011, and 009.
And out of them, 001 was unrecognizable and on a killing spree and 011 had no powers and was useless to Brenner.
A team of scientists, military men, and doctors was ready to prepare for the upcoming war with the other dimension. However, they couldn't do it without a superpowered person.
'Brenner' a random doctor panted, out of breath. 'There's something we think you should see'
Walking at a brisk pace through the halls, they came to a stop at the computer room. It was filled with around 4 scientists, 2 doctors, and 1 bodyguard. Bending forward, he studied the computer screen. Three blinking yellow lights were glowing. Trackers.
'We managed to reboot the trackers in some of the enhanced' someone explained.
'Which numbers have we got a location on?' Brenner silently pleaded for one of the more powerful numbers like 003
'009, 006, and 003'
'Well, what are we waiting for? We need to collect them now.' Brenner was excited at the prospect of having the enhanced back.
'Which one first? We have the government backing on any choice we make' This was true, Brenner had managed to gain the government's support, funding, and trust on this project.
'003' Brenner answered with no hesitation. 'He's most powerful, we can pick up where we left off with him when he was 10. His powers are also very interesting and I'm sure everyone would enjoy studying them'
'Okay sir, I'll call the troops. He'll be caught by tonight'
'He'd better be.' and with that, Brenner turned and walked out of the room.

The Party, along with Nancy, Steve, and Robin, were all gathered in Mike's basement. They'd gotten there at 5:30 to discuss what best to do when the Byers arrived.
The discussion quickly turned into an argument.
'That's it shitheads' Steve yelled 'We're watching a movie
'Yeah, let's watch Ghost Busters' Max exclaimed
There were sounds of agreement and finally, finally, everyone was in agreement.
Mike had been excited for weeks about the Byers coming over, despite the break-up with Eleven 2 months earlier. They were still friends, but Eleven said she wanted to be more than someone's girlfriend, and Mike respected that.
It was raining heavily outside, the raindrops drumming against the windows, creating a cozy atmosphere.
The sound of tires rolling over the pavement caught everyone's attention. Max was up first, springing up the stairs of the basement. Mike quickly followed and could hear everyone's footsteps behind.
Max had opened the door by the time he got there and was waiting excitedly by the door. The rain was pouring down heavily outside, making it hard to tell who the figures were.
Eleven ran out from the car first, quickly jumping under the cover of the roof. Jonathan followed quickly after.
Eleven and Jonathan gave everyone hugs and greetings as Will ran inside. Smiling, Mike gave him a hug and tried to breathe in his scent. He smelt odd, like too strong perfume, which confused Mike however, he let it go for now.
'Oh yes, Will.' Max said after hugging him 'so glad you've taken some of my fashion tips, you look so good
Will laughed a little, causing Mike's stomach to flutter.
'The thrift shops in Cali are so good, you should come shopping with us sometime'
Will was then pulled into a hug by Dustin, followed by the rest of the party.
'We decided on watching a movie, is that okay with you?' Robin asked.
Eleven opened her mouth to speak but was cut off by Erica 'If you say no, I'm pushing you back outside. These nerds have taken way too long to decide and I'm not listening to them fight again.'
'Wasn't going to disagree
'Good, let's go
They made their way down to the basement in a big clump, shoving to get in the door first. It was a miracle that no one fell over and cracked their head.
'Will, why do you smell like perfume?' Lucas asked. 'Like no shade and stuff, but I didn't really think it was your style.'
Will looked surprised for a second 'Oh right, Angela gave it back to me just before we left and I threw it on. The smell's been bothering me all day to be honest'
'I can give you one of mine if you like
shit shit shit. Why did you say that? Oh my god. That was an inside-your-head thing, Mike. You've made it awkward and it's only been 5 minutes.
'Really? Thanks, Mike
Mike quickly left the basement, trying to hide the flush on his face.
He made it to his room and looked at his sweaters. He just decided on a plain white one before realizing that it might be too scratchy. He wants it to be soft for Will.
In the end, he settles on a soft black one, which he carries downstairs.
'-u've had a girlfriend?' Dustin screeches as I walk in
'My baby's all grown up' Robin faked wiping away tears.
'Not that big of a deal, people.' Will sounded exasperated.
'It so is, however, I already knew unlike you loosers' Max said smugly.
'How?'
'On our calls'
'Yup,' Mike dropped the hoodie onto Will's lap. A girlfriend? He's never liked girls before?
Will shot mike a smile as he pulled on the Sweater. It was a little big for him and gave him sweater paws. 'Thanks, speaking of calling, can I use your phone to call my friends? They wanted to know when I got here.'
'Hmm?' Mike replied, lost staring at Will in his jumper.
'Can I use your phone?' everyone was looking at the two now.
'Sure, you know where it is right?'
'Yeah, thank you'
Will left to go call his friends.
'What was that Wheeler' Steve asked.
'What was what?' Mike replied confused.
'An awful lot of staring at a certain someone in your sweater was what it was' Max unhelpfully filled in.
'I wasn't staring' it sounded like a lie even to Mike
'Mm.' Max hummed 'and my hair's blonde'
'Shut up' I grumbled, shoving her slightly.
