It Only Gets Stranger *ST X Reader*

The Bathtub Part Two

Y/n POV

We keep biking until we get back to the junkyard where Mike and Lucas had their fight. We climb off the bikes.

"Holy s*it, did you see what they did to the vans-oh f*ck, Y/n, are you okay?" Dustin asks as I struggle to stay on my feet.

"You should sit down." Lucas says, coming over to me and helping me to go sit by El.

"I'm......fine." I say between breaths.

"No, Dustin, we missed it." Mike says, breathing heavily, going back to their earlier conversational topic.

"It was awesome." Lucas says from my left. (On your left😂 I'm a riot) Lucas goes over to El, and perches on the ground.

"Everything....I said about you being a traitor, and stuff, I was wrong. I'm sorry." Lucas places a hand on her shoulder.

El has a small smile playing around on her face. "Friends. Friends don't lie." El tells Lucas. "I'm sorry too."

Lucas smiles at her a bit.

"Me too." Mike pipes up. He holds out his hand for Lucas to shake.

Lucas gets up and shakes hands with Mike.

Time skip, brought to you by El throwing vans into space and Hopper trying to solve a case.

We are all now huddled around a crude diagram as Lucas is explaining something, though I'm not really sure what. I'm not fully hearing what he's saying.

I start listening now.

".....weapons...." All the boys look at me and El who are side by side.

"Oh geez this is bad." Dustin says.

"Really bad." Lucas confirms. "The place is like a fortress."

"What do we do?" Dustin asks.

"I don't know, but we can't go home. We're fugitives now." Mike answers.

There's a sound coming from overhead.

"G-guys?" I say, looking over my shoulder.

A helicopter is coming towards us.

"Go go go!" Everyone starts shouting.

Lucas, Dustin, Mike, and me all shove our bikes under a broken down bus.

We all run into the bus.

"Get down!" Somebody shouts. (Everybody do the flop)

We all start hiding behind bus seats and crouching down behind the walls of the bus.

We are all sitting in the bus, when Nancy's (?) Voice comes from somewhere in Mike's (?) Bag.

"Mike? Mike?"

"You guys hear that?" Dustin looks at all of us.

Mike grabs his bag and digs around for the walkie.

"Mike, we need you to answer."

"Is that your sister?" Lucas glances at all of us.

"This is an emergency Mike, do you copy? Mike!"

"Okay, this is really weird." Dustin comments.

"You can say that again. Now, what do we do?" I think out loud.

Lucas moves to answer the thing, but Mike pushes his hands away. "Don't answer!"

"She said it was an emergency!" Lucas replies.

"What if it's a trick?" Mike shoots back.

"It's your sister!"

"What if the bad people kidnapped her? What if they're forcing her to say that?"

"Like Lando Calrissian." Dustin spawns a new random thought. "Don't answer."

Nancy's garbled voice comes through the walkie again.

Now Hopper's voice comes through the thing.

"....we know about Y/n and the other girl." He says.

Me and Eleven exchange furtive and fearful glances, before we grab each other's hands.

"Why is she with the chief?" Lucas says.

"Yes. I copy." Mike speaks into the thing. "It's Mike. I'm here." He looks at all of us. "We're here."
