━━━━━━━━━━━━ You follow Jonathan into Joyce's bedroom after he got a phone call saying to go to the hospital.
"She can't be seen. That whole lab will be looking for her" Nancy says following the two into the room
"I know, but i don't have a clean hoodie neither does mum" Jonathan says pulling out a pair of pants for you
"I have a hoodie she can wear" Steve says showing up next to Nancy
"Are you sure?" Nancy asks him
"Yeah, it's just a spare one i keep in my car" he says before making his way out of the house
Steve comes back into the house where he hands you a soft grey hoodie getting a small thank you from you.
Jonathan shows you to the bathroom where you finally get a good look of yourself. You get changed out of the hospital gown and put on the pants and hoodie they have given you.
You then walk back out and into the living room where the three are waiting for you and gives you a smile.
"Where- Where are we going?" you ask them
"They found Will" Jonathan says with a smile
"Will? Where was he?" you ask him confused
"That monster took him to the Upside Down"
You eyes go wide as your heart sinks knowing that you are the reason your little brother went missing.
"What? What's wrong?" Nancy asks you
"I opened it" you say wrapping your arms around yourself "I opened the gate that let out the monster. It's my fault"
"It's not your fault" Jonathan says making you shake your head "Hey, you had no idea this would happen"
"He's right" Steve says stepping forward "How could you have any idea this was going to happen. You didn't know that thing was going to take Will"
You stare at Steve for a moment before giving him a small nod. You are a mystery to Steve, he didn't know what to think. To him you are this girl who was missing for 12 years to finally return.
But you also saved his life from that monster moments ago, he was grateful for you, for you showing up at the right time. Maybe you are his hero.
"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?"
"That's why Papa took me" you say with a nod "He made me open it"
On the bed Will starts to open his eyes to see his mother and brother standing with a girl who has a shaved head. He rubs his eyes a little to see it's actually real and he's not seeing things.
"Mum?" Will asks making the three turn to him "Where... where am i?" he asks as he looks around the room
"Your home. You're home now. You're safe" Jonathan says as him and Joyce sit down next to the bed
"Jonathan" Will says looking at his older brother
"Yeah, it's me, buddy. We missed you. We really missed you" Jonathan says with tears falling down his face
"Are you okay?" Will asks looking down at Jonathan wrapped hand
"What? This? This is nothing " Jonathan says chuckling a little hiding his hand
"Oh, hey, uh, i, uh. I brought you some stuff, so you don't get bored in here" Jonathan says to Will putting a box on his bed "I made you a new mix table. There's some stuff on there i think you really might like" he says handing it to Will
Jonathan shows Will what is in the box as Joyce waves you over to sit down next to her in the chairs trying to make your nerves calm down.
"Will, sweetheart" Joyce says getting her sons attention "Do you remember me telling you about your older sister"
Will turns his head a little to look at you who is pulling your legs up against your chest making him smile at little.
"She's come back, just like you did" Joyce says grabbing onto your hand as well as Wills
"Where did you go?" Will asks confused
You look over at Joyce not wanting to scare the small boy by saying you we're the reason he was taken in the first place, but before the two of you could answer the question the boys come running into the room.
"Byers!" Mike says running over to Will and hugging him
"Guys, go easy on him" Jonathan says as you move over next to him
"You won't believe what happened when you were gone, man" Lucas says with excitement
"It was mental" Dustin says
"You had a funeral" Lucas says
"Jennifer Hayes was crying" Dustin adds
"And Troy peed himself" Lucas adds
"What?" Will asks
"In front of the whole school" Dustin says making Will laugh but he starts coughing
"You okay?" Mike asks him
"It got me. The Demogorgon" Will says
"We know. It's okay. It's dead. We made a new friend. She stopped it. She saved us. But shes gone now" Mike says sadly
"Her names Eleven" Dustin says
"Like the number?" Will asks
"But we call her El for short" Lucas says
"She's basically a wizard" Dustin says
"She has superpowers" Lucas whispers
"More like a Yoda" Mike adds
"She flipped a van with her mind" Dustin says
"And these agents were trying to shoot us then she squeezed the brains out" Dustin says as all the boys start talking over each
"Do you want to get something to eat?" Jonathan asks looking to you and you nod your head
