'Papa?'

Tick....
Tock....
Eleven woke up.
She had been floating in The Nina Project for 15 hours. This concerned Dr. Brenner, what had she seen that he had not shown her?
As soon as her eyes opened, all of the nurses and scientists surrounded her, unplugging devices that were attached to her.
Brenner himself rushed over to El, holding her head in his hands as he leant over her face, whispering to stay still while they figured out what had happened.
It wasn't long before she shoved his hands off of her head, disobeying him, and running away through the endless halls of the underground lab.
It took her a while, but eventually she reached a dead end, giving Brenner a chance to catch up to her.
He finally stood in front of her, he saw her scared face, he saw how she backed away from him, he held out his hand to her, offering to walk her back.
El finally remembered what she saw. 004, 001, The Rainbow Room, everything.
She lifted her gaze from the floor and looked into Brenner's eyes, she had seen what more of a monster he could've become, in the moment she would've rather killed the Mind Flayer, or The Demogorgon & the Demo-Dogs once again.
'What happened to her?' She said quietly.
Brenner became confused at this, the confusion was clear upon his face.
'Who?' Was his response.
Eleven took a deep breath and gulped.
'Four.' She said, putting a clear emphasis on the word.
Brenner wasn't going to converse with her in these exposed corridors much longer, but he couldn't not tell her, or else she would leave.
'I will tell you later. Will you come with me?' He tried to use a kind tone, but it came out as a hurried one.
El needed to know what had happened, so she nodded her head quickly.
══════════════════
They sat upon Eleven's mattress in her 'room'.
'So now you know about her?' He asked her, not needing a response.
'Four was my prized shining star... That was until she was 18, she broke the rules.'
'I caught them messing around, with a certain person. They were all over each other, that was until I walked in and took her.' He continued.
'Did you k-kill her?' El stuttered.
Eleven remember what she saw, the torture, she could still remember it fresh in her mind, seeing her get tortured.
She was trying to get the red counter to fall into '3'. She had been trying to do so for many hours in total.
'She groaned as it fell into '4', it had been doing so for the past hour that she had spent in the Rainbow Room, she had earnt the extra time in the Rainbow Room because she won a competition against 003, in some of the children's joint lesson.
She had heard a loud scream coming from directly behind her.
Her eyes widened, she knew that scream... It tugged on her brain cells, it was so familiar.
She stood up and dragged her feet along the cold floors, the screams grew louder as she neared the exit doors of the Rainbow Room. She gently opened the doors, making sure she was as quiet as possible. She didn't want to get on 'Papa's' bad side.
She heard the screams leading towards the left... She crept over to the first door on her immediate left, and she peeked through the window, she saw 'Papa' standing with his head in his hands, she saw further into the room and saw two guards with what looks like electronic torture devices, although she wasn't sure what they did, she knew that they caused much pain, she looked down slightly to see who they were hurting...
What she saw scarred her eyes forever.
It was the only child in the lab who cared for her.
004.
El had fond memories of the girl, the way she would always hide with El in the corner of the Rainbow Room and soothe her after El's failed lessons, she would bandage her wounds with her hospital gown, even though they hurt her for ruining her 'clothes', she didn't care, she was helping somebody else. She had always been older than El, she was 18 when El saw her being tortured in this very moment. She was always picked on and bullied by the other children. El had seen how close she was with her and the blond man that visited the Rainbow Room every once in a while. He appeared orderly, intelligent and friendly to Eleven, he didn't speak much to anyone but 004, sometimes he would greet Eleven with a smile and a simple greeting.
El ran towards a corner as she heard the door open, she saw 004 being dragged by the same guards, the dragged her as if she was a piece of dirt, nothing more. It hurt El, 004 deserved much more than what she was given.'
When Eleven had woken up from her memory, she saw that 'Papa' has left. Leaving her to wallow in her thoughts, how she couldn't, how she didn't save 004... Or Estella... That's what the blond man... No. 001. That's what he said.
Why was he mad at Eleven in particular, she knew she didn't know where she was, but there had to be another reason, right?
But she still had to learn the truth, she had to know...
