~Jopper one shots~

Rescued!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------   This one shot is in Joyce's POV. Hopper is in Russia and he is being rescued. El has her powers. The Byers didn't leave Hawkins.                                                                                                                                      --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Here we are in the basement of starcourt mall about to go through the slightly opened gate to save Hopper. Just three months ago i was here and i thought he was dead! Me, El, Murray and Steve were actually going through to get Hopper and the rest of the party were staying behind as back up. We were dressed in our Russian uniforms ready for whatever was at the other side of the gate. El found Hopper and his exact cell number '353' and was also ready to go.

---------------------------------------------TIME SKIP-IN RUSSIAN PRISON-------------------------------------

We were running down the halls of the Russian prison looking for door '353'. "Hopper" is shouted. Murray stopped me and said "do you want them to know were here? If you don't i suggest you stop shouting" i nodded and carried on looking, until i saw it door 353! I looked through the tiny window to see a man with a shaved head and beard curled up in to a ball in the corner of the room. "dad is that you?" el asked peaking through the window. The man looked up and replied with "el, kid is that really you?" she smiled and turned back to face the window "yeah dad it's me were going to get you out of here"

"whos we?" he asked standing up "me, Murray, Steve and Mom" she replied "mom?" he asked clueless "oh Joyce" a smile grew on his face. "okay dad i'm going to get you out of here." El raised her hand up to the lock and tilted her head. All of a sudden the doors locks clicked and the door flung open. El ran into his arms and he held her close "i missed you so much kid" he said with tears in his eyes "i missed you too dad." Once their hug finished El went over to speak to Steve and Murray who were guarding the door.

I was left with Hop alone for the first time in a while. What do i do? Do i hug him? I don't know what to do. Our eyes met and all i could think of was that 4th of July night when i last saw him. I burst out crying, he walked towards me "Joy are you okay?" I walked closer to him "No i'm not fucking okay Hop i thought you were dead that i killed you and now you are right infront of me, i've been grieving you for three fucking months Hop, three months" i punched him in anger again and again and again. He just held me close to him and just let me hit him. 

He looked down at me once i had stopped and said "i'm so so sorry Joy, there wasn't one day i didn't want to see you or El" i let a weak smile and said "i'm sorry for this i know it wasn't your fault i just missed you, i really missed you" he smiled too. Our faces were now centimeters apart and then BANG! "lovebirds we've got to run unless you want to die again" murray shouted and pointed at Hop. We ran out of the room hand in hand just like that night at the festival without even knowing we did. 

Once we had killed a few Russians we were safely back in the mall and El closed the gate for good. My small hand was still in his larger hand, i felt safe for the first time in three months, like i had someone to love. Love? I do love Hop i always have. We were all about to leave the Russian base when i had a sudden burst of confidence. I pulled Hopper's arm back around and kissed him! Me and Hopper were kissing on the same platform i last saw him. We had finally both been rescued!
