"We should get going" Nancy says making them nod

The four get into Steve's car where he drives them over to the hospital. As they walk in Jonathan takes you with him as Nancy and Steve go to the waiting room.

Jonathan tells you to wait outside as he goes to talk with Joyce before he brings you in.

"Mum" Jonathan says walking in to see Will laying asleep in a hospital bed

Joyce jumps up with a smile and pulls her oldest son into a tight hug with a small sob.

"He's okay. He's gonna be okay" Joyce says pulling out of the hug with a smile

"I know. I knew he would be" Jonathan says smiling at his brother "Mum there's something you need to see"

"See what?" Joyce asks him

Jonathan doesn't answer instead he walks to the door and waves you inside. You walk in to see Joyce standing there with a confused look on her face.

"You can take your hood off" Jonathan says closing the door behind him

You slowly take the hood off of your head making Joyce's eyes widen with a gasps.

"Oh, my god. (y/n)" she asks taking a step towards you

Yes you are older, much older then the 5 year old that went missing years ago. But how could Joyce not recognise her own daughter.

You still have the same (e/c) eyes and the same (h/c) hair as you did when you went missing. You still fiddle with your fingers the same and still have the same scar on the side of your head that Jonathan gave you when you two were fighting once as kids.

You take a step back bumping into Jonathan but he rubs your back in comfort and tells you it's okay.

"It's okay, i'm your mother" Joyce tells you

"Mum, she's been at the lab this whole time" Jonathan says as you hand Joyce your file

"Oh, my sweet girl" Joyce says pulling the paper on the bed

"Mummy" you say with a sob as Joyce pulls you into her arms

"I never stopped looking for you" Joyce says with a sob "I'm so sorry for not finding you sooner"

"Papa wouldn't let me leave" you say into her shoulder then look over at Will "Is that Will?" you ask

"Yes, your little brother" Joyce says pulling away with a smile

"Will he be okay?" you ask not taking your eyes off the boy

"He will be. He just needs to rest" Joyce says rubbing your arm "What's wrong?" she asks noticing more tears in your eyes

"I let the monster out" you say looking to her "It's my fault"

"What? What do you mean?" Joyce asks you confused

"She has powers, like El" Jonathan speaks up "Except purple"

"Powers?"
