3rd person pov:

Mike wiped the cloth on El until her face was clean.

"That's better." Mike said as he sighed.

El turned to the mirror, she patted her head missing the wig.

"You don't need it." Mike said.

She put her hand to her side, "still pretty?" She asked. She turned her head to Mike.

"Yeah! Pretty. Really pretty." Mike said.

El turned her head to the mirror and smiled.

"El?" Mike asked.

"Yes?" She turned her head to Mike once more.

"U-um I'm happy you're home." He stuttered.

"Me too." El said with a small smile.

They leaned together until the door slammed open.

Dustin came in panting, and y/n was behind him with a smirk on her face as she saw them lean out from one another.

"It's Lucas, we think he's in trouble." Dustin said as y/n snickered behind him.

Mike gave her a look.

They ran out of the bathroom to the walkie talkie that was on the table.

"Do you remember how he said he was looking for the gate?" Dustin asked picking up the walkie.

"Yeah?" Mike replied puzzled.

"What if he found it?" Dustin theorized.

Mike took the device from Dustin and listened to the out of range shouting on the radio.

"What's he saying?" Mike said scared and confused.

"I don't know he's way out of range." Dustin said.

"...son of a bitch!" Lucas yelled on the walkie.

"Lucas if you can hear us slow down. We can't understand you." Mike said.

"Yes, I copy! Do you? They know about Eleven! Get out of there they know about Eleven! The bad men are coming! All of them! Do you hear me? The bad men are coming!" Lucas was moving more into range.

"Mad hen.' Does that mean anything to you? Like a code name or something?" Dustin asked.

Y/n took the walkie out of Mike's hands.

"The bad men are coming!" Lucas shouted once more.

"Bad men." Y/n whispered realizing.

"Bad men!" She said a little louder.

"Stay here!" Mike said to El.

He and Dustin raced upstairs.

Y/n stayed downstairs, grabbed her backpack and put her walkie in, tossed it on her back and put a switchblade in her pocket.

She ran upstairs after the boys.

The 2 looked out the window and y/n was behind them shortly after.

There was a white repair van outside in the driveway.

"What's that guy doing?" Mike asked.

"You don't think..." y/n said and looked between the 2 all having the same look on their faces.

Mike ran downstairs, while Dustin and y/n stayed at the window.

"Ok Mike and El were totally about to kiss when we opened the door." Y/n said chuckling softly.
