(y/n) - your name

(y/n) hums as she walks through the mall, dodging the many little kids that were loitering around the place with their drinks and shopping bags. She heads towards a certain ice cream store, seeing Mike, Will and Lucas walk past her while arguing about getting a gift to apologise to their girlfriends.

"Ok, maybe this is a serious thing for the kids..." (y/n) chuckles, waving to Steve who smiles at her.

"(y/n)!" Max and Eleven grinned as she stood next to them in front of the ice cream display, the girls taking their cones from Steve.

"Look at you two, looking great!" (y/n) compliments and the girls giggle before running off to continue their girl's day out.

"Is El even supposed to be out here? Isn't she going to get it trouble?" Steve says and (y/n) shrugs.

"I hope she doesn't. Anyway, entertain me. I'm bored."

"Damn, don't you have your boyfriend to do that?"

"He has a shift at the moment and I took a couple of days off from work."

"Well, there's nothing really going on-"

"-we've got our first sentence of the Russian code."

"Oh, seriously?" Steve gasps and (y/n) tilts her head to look at Robin in shock.

"Did I just hear you right!?"

"Oh hi (y/n)! Yeah, Dustin intercepted a Russian message and we're trying to decode it." (y/n) looks at Steve who chuckles nervously.

"Nothing going on my ass. I need to hear this." (y/n) moves to the back rooms to see Dustin listening to a recording. "Hey kid." he screams, turning around to see (y/n) behind him.

Yep, still scared of me.

"H-hey (y/n)."

"So what's the sentence you decoded from the Russian message?"

"How does she know!?" Dustin exclaims, looking at Steve.

"I know everything." (y/n) says in a spooky voice, wiggling her fingers. "Nah, Robin just told me." Dustin glares at her as she narrows his eyes back. "So the sentence?"

"'The week is long'" Robin says in a Russian accent.

"Well, that's thrilling." Steve was disappointed.

"I know. But, progress." Dustin plays the recording again and (y/n) could hear music playing behind the voice.

"Doesn't that song sound like one of those little mechanical kiddie horse rides just outside the shop here?" everyone freezes and looks at (y/n). "What? What did I say?"

"Holy shit!" Steve and Dustin runs out with the recorder as the girls just look at each other. They wait until they came back, eyes wide. "You're right!" Dustin exclaims. "It's the same song on the recording!"

"This code, it... didn't come from Russia. It came from here."

"But where? One of the shops here or like underground or something?" (y/n) asks.

"Let's decode the rest and then we might figure it out." Robin says, the girls sitting down with Dustin. "Go sling ice cream Popeye!" She shoos Steve away who groans while going back out to the store to serve customers.

"Someone looks pissed off." (y/n) chuckles as she leans against the front register of the pools staff desk, Billy walking out of the showers with a snarl on his face.
