Stranger Things Imagines

Peter Ballard(1)

(Peter x powerful reader)
requested

You were born in 1957 with powerful abilities and your father, Martin Brenner, kept you away from his work while training you himself. As you grew up, he became less protective of you and more protective of his work. He only mentioned one name when it came to his work, Peter. It was always "you'll meet him soon, Peter" and that was it. Instead of waiting, you did some digging and found out he was only ten years older than you but very handsome.
One day, your father took you to the laboratory to run some tests on you that he couldn't do at home. As you followed him through the halls, you saw many men in white suits and got curious. You slowed to look through a window that showed the other subjects and saw a blonde orderly sitting with one of them. Before you could turn and follow your father, the orderly turned and looked at you. The two of you held eye contact until your father dragged you into one of the rooms. The tests he ran on you were simple but they slowly got harder.
At the end of the tests, you were held down by the guards and they tattooed your arm. 020. You looked up at your father and he looked proud but you were furious. The anger had clouded your mind but it was strong enough to pull the guards off of you and throw them into the wall. Looking at your father, you spoke. "I am disappointed in you, Martin. I never expected to become one of your test subjects but look at where we are."

Before he could stop you, you stormed off to find something to eat and get away from people. You managed to find the kitchen and started to yourself some food until you were interrupted by someone. "You're not supposed to be in here, darling. What's your name?"
"It was y/n, but now it's 020. What's yours?" you answered him and turned to the orderly from earlier. "Peter. Peter Ballard. Now, how did you end up here?"

You told him what had led up to him finding you in the kitchen. He listened to you and held onto every word that you spoke. When you finished, he told you that it would be alright and pulled you into a hug. After the hug, he led you to where your room was and left you alone.
The longer you were in the laboratory, the closer you and Peter got. You knew almost everything about him and he almost knew everything about you. Ever since you were locked in the lab, you had lost track of days and the hours blurred together. Peter was slowly opening up to you and has told you bits about his past. You learned that his favorite phrase when you woke up, since you were the last to actually leave your room, was "Well, well. Look who finally decided to join us. Someone's a sleepyhead this morning". He was the only reason you hadn't destroyed the lab yet.
When you woke up this morning, something felt off. You weren't greeted by Peter and you could feel something moving around in your neck. Instead of waiting for Peter to show, you felt for the small device that they had planted in your neck the night before and pierced the skin. As your fingers dug around, they hit the small device and grasped it, pulling it out of your body. You threw it on the ground and destroyed it.
Once you were done, you started pulling on the strings in your mind to try and find Peter. As you found the string that connected to him, you pulled as hard as you could and you were in Peter's head, seeing what he saw. You looked around and recognized the room he was in, the training room. Pulling yourself out of his head, you waited until he was done with the tests. Since the two of you were close in age, 'papa' would let you help him instead of doing tests. Sometimes when you helped him, you saw how good he was with the children, especially Eleven.
You had overheard one of his conversations with her about Subject 001. Papa had always told you 001 never existed but you came to the decision that 001 was an experiment gone wrong or he escaped. After Peter finished working with Eleven, he walked over to where you were standing and the two of you stood there until everyone was dismissed to their rooms.
The two of you took a detour instead of going to your room. He led you into an empty room that you hadn't been in before and sat on the floor, pulling you into his lap. You both sat there for a while in silence, until Peter spoke. "Tomorrow, I want you to meet me in the Rainbow Room after you hear the alarm."

You nodded and chose not to ask any questions. After ten more minutes, you both got up and got ready to leave but not before he kissed your cheek. Peter left you standing there in shock and you followed him back to your room, when you closed your door he left. You laid in your bed and thought about Peter until you fell into a dreamless sleep.
When you woke up, it was to the klaxon alarm and you boltd out of your bed. You got changed and sprinted to the Rainbow Room. On your way there, you saw the dead bodies of subjects, orderlies, and the guards. You opened the door with your mind and saw Peter talking to Eleven. "Don't do this, Eleven. You got your revenge but I want out of here. We agreed that you would help me if you got your revenge."
"You die too." she spoke and raised her hand. Before she could hurt him, you teleported in front of him and raised your hand as well. "Peter! Go! Get out of here! I'll be right behind you."

Once you were sure he was gone, you spoke to Eleven. "I'm sorry that I have to do this but you shouldn't have threatened him. Goodbye, El."

You threw her against the wall, which knocked her out, and sprinted out of the room to find Peter. Running through the halls, you called out to him when he didn't answer you, you opened the connections in your mind and followed the one that led you to him. As you turned the corner, you ran into Peter who was stopped by some guards who were aiming at the two of you.
Grasping Peter's hand, you threw the guards into the walls with your mind and pulled Peter to an empty room. Letting go of his hand, you started to open a portal that led you to the outside world. Peter looked at you in shock and you motioned for him to go through the portal. He went through it and you followed, it closed as soon as you stepped through it. "Follow me, I know someone who can hide us for a bit."

He followed you to where you led him and watched as you knocked on someone's back door. "Nancy! It's me, open up!"

You were greeted by Nancy's little brother, Mike, and was glad that Peter was standing behind you. "Michael, where's Nancy?"
"In her room, couldn't you go to the front like a normal person?" he questioned you, while looking Peter up and down. "No, because we have a situation. Now go get me your sister, brat."

He went to go get his sister while mocking you as he turned around, so you picked up a rock and threw it at him. Mike flinched and stopped before hurrying up the stairs. Five minutes later Mike was back with Nancy and left when she told him to go. You whispered in her ear and she nodded. Nancy disappeared and was back with two sets of clothes. "There's a bathroom right over there."

You thanked her and entered after you heard the door close when she went back upstairs. Peter let you have the bathroom first and waited while you showed until you hollered at him. "Hey, Peter, you think you can bring one of the towels on the table?"
"Sure."

Peter entered with his eyes closed but tripped over the rug which caused him to land on you since you got out of the shower. "If you wanted to see me naked, you could have just asked, you know?"

When he started blushing, you told him you were joking and grabbed the towel from him. After you finished drying off you let him shower and sat on the couch. He came back, while struggling to dry his hair. You grabbed the towel from his hands and sat him down in front of you. When you were able to reach his hair, you gently started drying his hair and felt him slowly fall asleep on the floor with his head between your legs. By the time you finished, he was out and you moved some blankets to cover him.
Shuffling a little bit, you managed to move him enough to help him onto the pull out bed. When he was on the bed, you moved to get a drink but he grabbed your wrist and decided to sleep instead. Before you fell asleep, you kissed his lips and curled into his side.
