I only have eyes for you (Robin Buckley)

Salems pov

     Of course I knew that Robin could move her finger, but who am I to decline. Id have done it again too. There's another way for me to stop the paralyzation but I wanted to do it that way. No one else knows that there's more ways to do it, so I might as well?

     I pull onto the road where Eddie is hiding. My car is packed. Like we had to put Dustin in the trunk. It's that packed. I park the car and turn it off, walking to the back to open the trunk. "Jesus christ you guys!" Dustin screams. "Shut up!" Steve whisper yells.

     We walk down into the shed and Eddie jumps in horror, "Jesus-" Eddie pants. Covering his chest with his hand. "Delivery service!" Dustin smiles.

Eddie walks over and grabs a box of cereal out of one of the bags, scarfing it down. I look over to Robin and raise my eyebrows. I've never seen someone so hungry in my life. "So we got uh, some good news.. and some bad news." Dustin says to Eddie. "How do you prefer it?"

"Bad news first, always." Eddie responds in a 'duh' voice. "Alright, bad news. We tapped into the Hawkins PD dispatch with our Cerebro, and they're definitely looking for you." Dustin tells Eddie reluctantly. I feel horrible for Eddie. He's in the middle of a huge misunderstanding, but what are we supposed to do? Tell Hawkins about us with superpowers and that there are literal monsters out here? No. "Also, they're, uh, pretty convinced you killed Chrissy." Dustin sighed.

     "Like a hundred percent kind of convinced." Max mumbles. "And the good news?" Eddie asks in a hopeful voice. Robin speaks up from beside us, "Your name hasn't gone public yet." I nod thinking robin was gonna leave it at that, thankful. "But-" Oh god. "if we found out about you it's only a matter of time before others do too, and once that gets out everyone and their shallow minded mother is gonna be gunning for you."

     "Robin-" I whisper looking at her with a 'wtf' face. "I know." She sighs. "It just kind of happens I don't know why I do this." She sighs. I feel bad for her, because she just gets in these zones where she can't stop talking and sometimes it's really bad. This is one of those times.

     "No, she's right. Hunt the freak." Eddie mutters. "Exactly." Robin responds, making me hit her arm. "Shit." Eddie mumbles under his breath. "So before that happens, we find Vecna, kill him, and prove your innocence." Dustin says with a smile. "That's all dustin? That's all?" Eddie snaps. "Yeah, no, that's- that's pretty much it." Dustin says still smiling.

     "Listen, Eddie, I know everything Dustin is saying sounds totally delusional, but we've actually been through this kind of thing before. I mean they have.. a few times-" Robin rants and I cut her off quickly, "I have not." Robin nods in acknowledgement, "I have once. Mine was more human-flesh-based, and theirs was more smoke-related, but bottom line is, collectively I really feel like we've got this." Robin finishes her rant. That was one of her good rants.

     "Yeah, see, we usually rely on this girl who has superpowers but, uh, those recently went bye-bye, so.." Steve trails along. "So we're sort of in more of the.." Robin begins thoughtfully. "Brainstorming phase." Max finishes. Steve nods, "Brainstorming!" with a snap. "There- there's really nothing to worry about." Dustin responds.

     I guess they forgot I have 'superpowers' too. I hear Eddie scoff, and I turn around looking at everyone. "Okay, I may not have experience with killing monsters with my mind, but I do have experience killing people with my mind. And my blood." I rant. Adding the last part shamefully.

     "Oh my god, yeah! I totally forgot that you were like El!" Steve exclaims and everyone looks at me confused. "You all saw me reunite with El are you guys dumb?" I laugh a little. "Well, no, I just didn't know you had superpowers too." Dustin mumbles, amazed. What is it with these people?

     "Woah woah, wait. You can like do things with your mind?" Eddie asks looking at me as if I'm stupid. I raise my eyebrows. "Okay, yeah, I know that seems crazy but I wouldn't have her prove it because I didn't believe that her blood could paralyze me and she put her blood on my finger and it was a goner." Robin rants to Eddie. Eddie looks at her as if she's stupid. "Blood- paralyze- WHAT IS HAPPENING?" Eddie screams.

This part may be a little triggering to those who have or has sh. It's not meant to be, but read with caution please <3

     I look around me for something sharp, and find a peice of broken glass. I walk over and slice the palm of my hand open, grabbing Eddie's hand. "Do you want to find out?" I ask him patiently. He shrugs his shoulders, "Can you reverse it?" I nod in response. "Might as well."

Triggering part should be over loves <3

     I lower his hand onto mine and then move my hand so his is in the air. "Move it." I demand. Eddie struggles trying to move his hand, but eventually gives up. "Yeah, I can't." Eddie says looking at me. I nod and close my eyes, reversing the effects of my blood with my mind.

     Robin looks at me shocked. I look at her and shrug my shoulders. She did ask me to do it again, this isn't all on me. "Would anyone else like to try?" I ask expectantly. Everyone shakes their head and I nod. "Hey, uh, does anyone have a lighter?" Eddie asks, holding a cigarette in his hand.

     I nod, and put my right hand out, it igniting in flames at my command. I walk over to Eddie, and light his cigarette. I quickly stop the fire in my hands. I turn to see everyone looking at me shocked. "What?" I ask expectantly. "El couldn't do that-" Steve breathes. "Yeah, we aren't all the same, Steve. I was in the lab for longer than El, so I'm better trained, and trained in more than she was. Don't get me wrong, El is powerful but if we're ranking us on power, I'm above her."

     Suddenly we hear sirens outside. "Tarp! Tarp." Robin exclaims. We all run over to the windows to see cop cars driving past us. They weren't here for us or Eddie, so where are they going?
