Hopper-Alex Hopper (Under editing)

Episode 3 Season 4: The monster and the superhero

We brought Eddie some food from the store.
"Alex you and Lucas alright?" Steve asked as we walked back to where Eddie was.
"I don't know he just seems so distant but I guess it's because he has basketball and I have you lot." I answered opening the door.
"Jesus." Eddie stated.
"Sorry Eddie we have food." I stated holding up the bag of food.
"Delivery service." Dustin stated holding up some bags as well. Eddie sits down and starts eating.
"You okay there man?" I asked Eddie he continued eating.
"So we got, uh, some good news and some bad news." Dustin stated.
"Which do you want to hear first good or bad?" I asked Eddie.
"Bad news first always." Eddie answered.
"All right. Bad news. We tapped, well Alex tapped in, into the Hawkins PD dispatch with our Cerebro, and they are defiantly looking for you. Also, they're, uh, pretty convinced you killed Chrissy." Dustin stated.
"No need to tell him like that." I stated slapping Dustin's shoulder.
"Like 100% kind of convinced." Max finished.
"And the good news?" Eddie asked.
"Your name hasn't gone public yet. But if we found out about you it's a matter of time before others do to. And once that gets out, everyone and their shallow-minded mother is gonna be gunning for you." Robin stated.
"Hunt the freak right?" Eddie asked.
"If we are hunting freaks then they might need to hunt me as well." I stated. I made my mind lift Eddie's cereal before dropping it into his hands.
"What the actual fuck?" Eddie asked.
"Yes I know right." I answered.
"Exactly." Robin said agreeing with us two. I knew some of the town hated me considering my past.
"Shit." Eddie stated.
"So, before that happens, we find Vecna, kill him, and prove your innocence." Duston stated.
"That's all, Dustin? That's all?" Eddie asked.
"Yeah, no, that's pretty much it." Dustin answered.
"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...a few times, and...and I have once. Mine was more human-flesh-based, theirs was more spoke-related, but the bottom line is, collectively, I really feel like we got this." Robin stated.
"We usually rely on me and my sister who also has super powers. But sadly hers went bye bye so we can't use my sisters help." I pointed out.
"So we're technically in more of the..." Steve started.
"Kinda..." Robin helped.
"Brainstorming phase." Max helped.
"Barnstorming." Steve pointed out.
"There's...There's nothing to worry about." Dustin stated. Everyone looked at each other slightly. We could hear sirens in the background. I got up quickly before Steve grabbed my shoulder before shaking his head.
"Shit." I stated.
"Tarp." Robin stated.
"Get under the tarp." I stated helping him. We all ran to the window where the sirens were. They drove past where we were. We went to where Nancy is. I felt bad for leaving Eddie back there.
"So you're saying that this thing that killed Fred and Chrissy, it's from the upside down?" Nancy asked as we caught her up.
"If the shoe fits." Steve stated.
"Our working theory is that he attacks with a spell or a curse. Now, whether or nor he's doing the bidding of the Mind Flayer or just loves killing teens, we don't know." Dustin stated.
"All we know is this is something different. Something new." Max stated.
"It doesn't make sense." Nancy stated.
"It's only a theory." I stated.
"No Fred and Chrissy don't make sense. I mean why them?" Nancy asked.
"Maybe they were at the wrong place. They were both at the game." Dustin stated.
"And near the trailer park." Max piped up.
"We're at the trailer park. Uh, should we maybe not be here?" Steve asked.
"There is something about this place. Fred started acting weird the second we got here." Nancy explained.
"Acting weird as in...?" Robin asked her.
"Scared, on edge, upset." Nancy stated.
"Max said Chrissy was upset too." I stated.
"Yeah but not here. She was crying in the bathroom at school." Max explained.
"Serial killers stalk their prey before they strike right? So maybe Fred and Chrissy saw this Vecna like Alex..." Robin stated.
"Vecna." Dustin stated.
"Dunno about you guys but if I saw some freaky wizard monster, I would mention it to someone." Steve stated.
"I told someone you lot." I stated.
"Maybe they did. I saw Chrissy leaving Ms. Kelly's office. If you saw a monster you... you wouldn't go to the police. They'd never believe you but you might go to your-" Max states.
"Your shrink." Robin stated.
"I don't have a therapist. She quit because she couldn't handle me and my trauma. I would go to the police they'd believe me." I stated. We got up and stated walking. Nancy stated walked away.
"Whoa, whoa, Nance. Nance! Where you going?" Steve asked.
"Oh, there's something I wanna check on first." Nancy answered.
"Something you wanna shear with us?" I asked.
"I don't wanna waste your time. It's a real shot in the dark." Nancy stated.
"We are finding ways to keep me alive I think that that's a waste of time." I stated.
"Shut up Alex your dad would of wanted that. And yeah, okay. Are you out of your mind? Flying solo with this Vecna on the loose? No, it's too dangerous. You need...you need someone to... Here. I'll stick with Nance. You guys take the car and check out the shrink." Steve stated chucking his keys at me.
"I don't think you want me driving your car." I stated.
"Why?" Steve asked.
"Becuase I'm not 17 yet. I can't get my licence." I stated.
"Didn't your dad use his power to get you your licence?" Steve asked me.
"Yes. But my licence hasn't come yet because I'm still learning." I answered.
"I can drive." Max piped up.
"Get in I'm driving." I stated.
"No, never again. Please. Anybody but you. No. (points at Dustin) No chance." Steve stated.
"Come on." Dustin stated.
"I just Alex in the drivers seat more." Steve stated.
"All right okay. This is stupid. Us ladies will stick together. Unless you think you need to protect us." Robin stated.
"Be careful." Steve yelled.
"Are you just gonna stand there and gawk?" Dustin stated.
"Shut up." Steve stated.
"Why don't we go? Okay." I stated.
"Shut up and get in the car. Wipe your feet. On the outside not the inside. Always the babysitter." Steve stated.
"Shut up and drive Steve." I stated.
"Always the goddam babysitter!" Steve stated as we drove off. We went to the guidance council. Max went to the door to speak to her.
"Okay, she's in." Steve stated.
"I'm missing collarbones not eyes." Dustin stated.
"And I have eyes still." I stated.
"So, we gonna talk about... it?" Dustin asked.
"Huh? Sorry, talk about what?" Steve asked. I just looked at Dustin.
"Your temporary insanity earlier today when you basically threw yourself at Nance?" Dustin asked.
"First that's not what happened." Steve lied.
"Pretty sure that's what happened. It was pretty public. There were a lot of witnesses." I stated sitting in the middle seat of the back seat.
"You implying I still have a thing for Nance?" Steve asked looking at me.
"No. She's not implying. She's stating. And, as it relates to your seadfast refusal to date Robin, it's pretty much the on,y logical explanation." Dustin explained for me.
"That's not the only one. And as for Nance, I was just trying to protect a friend like you would for Alex." Steve stated.
"Don't bring me into this. And I don't believe this bullshit." I stated.
"Only a friend Hopper, Henderson. Okay?" Steve asked us.
"Okay." We answered.
"I don't wanna find her with her eyes sucked out of her skull by this Vecna creep." Steve tried to explain.
"(Chuckles Alex joins him) You're  bright red in the face right now." Dustin pointed out.
"No I'm not. I don't wanna talk about it. I will punch you so hard your teeth will fall back out. And can we talk about Alex and  Lucas." Steve stated.
"There's nothing to say." I stated leaning back in my chair.
"Woah. Too far." Dustin stated.
"Not cool. Sorry. And Alex there's something to say there always is." Steve stated.
"Not cool. It's okay." Dustin stated.
"Right there's nothing he has his basketball friends I have you two." I stated. We look out the window.
"Here she comes. Here she comes." Steve stated as Max got to the car.
"Hey Max." I stated giving her a fist bump.
"What did she say?" Dustin asked.
"Nothing just drive." Max answered.
"Nothing?" Steve asked.
"Steve drive already she said drive." I stated.
"Okay." Steve stated driving away. We heared both mine and Dustins radio go off.
"Dustin Alex. It's Lucas. Do one of you copy I know you two are together. Dustin Alex." Lucas stated I looked at my bag letting Dustin answer it as it was deep in my bag.
"Lucas? Where the hell have you been?" Dustin asked.
"Just listen. Are you guys looking for Eddie?" Lucas asked. I took the radio out my bag.
"We found him no thanks to you." I stated into the radio.
"Alex I'm sorry. You both found him?" Lucas asked.
"He's at a boathouse on Coal Mill Road. Don't worry. He's safe." Dustin stated.
"Safe with me around." I muttered.
"You guys know he killed Chrissy right?" Lucas asked. I looked at Dustin as he looked back at me.
"That's bullshit. Eddie tried to save Chrissy." I stated.
"Then why do all the cops say he did it?" Lucas asked. I looked at Max I nodded before handing her my radio.
"Lucas your so behind it's ridiculous okay?" Max asked handing back my radio.
"Just meet us at the school. We'll explain later." I stated.
"I... I cant. I think some real bad shits about to go down." Lucas answered. I sighed before answering.
"Course you can't cause of the basketball team. And what are you talking about? What bad shit?" I asked and got no answer. "Of course he doesn't fucking answer me." I just left it and pushed it into my bag.  We got to the school.
"Dustin Alex. Do you copy?" Robin asked.
"Yeah we copy." Dustin answered,
"So, Nancy's a genius. Vecnas first victims date back all the way to 1959. Her shot in the dark was a bulls-eye." Robin explained.
"Okay that's totally bonkers, but I can't really talk right now." Dustin stated as we walked down the hall.
"Wait. What are you doing?" Robin asked the teen.
"Breaking and entering school to retrieve confidential and extremely personal files." Dustin answered.
"Can you repeat that?" Robin asked.
"Just get your ass over here, stat. We'll explain everything." I said through my radio. Max opens the door while we follow her inside.
"It's like a mini watergate or something." Dustin stated.
"Hawkingsgate." I stated agreeing with Dustin.
"Didn't those guys get caught?" Steve asked. I looked to the side somewhere (A/N shes looking at the camera).
"Actually teachers don't care." I stated.
"Holy shit." Max said I walked up so I was behind her Steve followed.
"You found it?" Dustin asked.
"Yeah, and not just Chrissy's file. Fred was seeing Ms. Kelly too. Alex didn't you say you were seeing someone too?" Max asked.
"Yeah Miss Brody she's my maths teacher as well as the guidance counsellor." I stated answering the question. We read the files and I was getting flashbacks to when I used to have noise bleeds in class and I would often wake up in a constant sweat after watching Billy die last year. And it mentioned past trauma I knew what mine would say if I could access it.
"Alex. Max." The boys yelled I grabbed Max's hand.
