32: Use Your Brain, Man!

Thirty-two: Use Your Brain, Man!

!!!

Dustin's words just made them laugh even harder.

Dustin, Max and Erica ushered Steve, Robin and Y/n out of the bathroom, Dustin saying he had a plan, which was to blend in with the crowd. So Dustin was peering out from beside a wall, looking at the wave of people. "And... Blend." He whispered, bringing the rest of the group with him as they walked with the crowd.

"Well, shit, that worked." Erica said.

"Of course it worked." Dustin replied.

"Okay, relax. Don't speak too soon." Y/n told them. And as if on cue, they saw two men at the mall doors, getting people's IDs. "Shit."

Dustin led them back, not knowing where to go as the men caught on and followed after them.

Everyone had left the mall by now, and it was just them as they tried to find where to go. They saw a counter and figured it was their best bet, so they sat behind it, having nothing left to do but hope they wouldn't be seen.

Max and Y/n's hands clung to each other, both finding a bit of comfort from the contact. Everything went dead silent until one of the men muttered something in Russian. A few seconds after the man spoke, the alarm on the display car in the mall went off, and they all jumped, flinching as it startled them.

The car alarm was followed a few seconds after by another mutter in Russian, a loud crash and the stop of the blaring. At that, the six turned to peer over the counter, their eyes first catching the presumably dead men who were previously looking for them, then the single pot lid spinning, and then abruptly stopping. Then, they all moved their gazes to the car, which was crashed against a counter, smoking.

They all slowly looked up to see a sight that relieved all of them. Well, it relieved Dustin, Max, Y/n and Steve. Robin and Erica didn't know who she was.

Eleven.

Y/n immediately hopped to her feet, dropping Max's hand and bolting to El, who made her way down the escalator with the help of Mike.

"El!" Y/n shouted, immediately wrapping the girl in a tight hug. "Are you okay!? What happened!?" She asked as she pulled away. El opened her mouth to answer, but was interrupted by Dustin, who moved Y/n out of the way and hugged El. "You flung that thing like a hot wheel!"

When Dustin and El broke away, Max wrapped her arms around the brunette.

"Lucas?" Erica said, surprised and confused.

"What are you doing here?" Lucas asked the youngest Sinclair. She pointed to Robin and Steve. "Ask them It's their fault."

"Yeah, true. Totally true. It's absolutely our fault." Steve nodded.

"I don't understand what happened to that car." Robin said, visibly freaked out. Dustin just pointed to El. "El has superpowers."

"I'm sorry?"

"Superpowers. She threw it with her mind. C'mon, catch up." Steve casually told the girl. Erica pointed to Eleven. "That's El?"
