Hawkins Indiana

November 1984

。.✦ ☾

Hawkins Lab.

。.✦ ☾

Everyone stood around arguing about what they should do. Suddenly the power comes back on, lighting up the entire building. Nancy was the first to notice. "The powers back." She calls out, silencing the arguing.

....

Everyone runs towards the Byer's car. Jonathan enters the security booth, pressing the red button, and praying the gate slides open. There was still nothing. Dustin steps up. "Let me try?" Dustin asks

Jonathan ignores him and continues to press the button. "Let me try!! Jonathan!" Dustin exclaims, forcing Jonathan to move, only for Dustin to do the exact same thing. Jonathan rolls his eyes. Dustin looks up hopefully. "Son of a bitch! You know what..." Dustin grumbles

Suddenly the door rings, the gate sliding open. Dustin stands up straight, smiling widely. "Huh, I got it." Dustin says, laughing. Jonathan sighs, shoving past him.

Everyone shoves their way into the car, all crammed together. Jonathan starts the car and he speeds his way toward the lab.

Byers Household.

。.✦ ☾

Will Byers lay passed out on the sofa with Jeffery crouched down beside him. "Hey, Will it's me." Jeffery whispers, his eyes closed. "I'm sorry I wasn't here." Jeffery breathes, beating himself up. He was so wrapped up in his own drama, that he completely forgot his brother. Jonathan gently places a hand on his shoulder, comforting him.

"Sam Owens. Dr. Sam Owens." Jim Hopper states aggressively into the phone. Darian was staring at Jonathan and Jeffery, sighing deeply, before walking away.  "I don't know how many people are alive!" Hopper exclaims

Darian passes him, meeting his eyes briefly with concern. "I am the police! Chief Jim Hopper!" Hopper exclaims

Everyone watched Hopper in concern, hoping something good came out of this, but they all sighed as he hung up the phone. "They didn't believe you, did they?" Dustin asks

Hopper turns around, sighing deeply. "We'll see." Hopper breaths "We'll see? We can't just sit here while those things are loose!" Mike exclaims, flinching back when he feels his brother's hand on his shoulder. "We stay here, and we wait for help." Hopper says, walking away.

Mike swallows harshly, staring up at Darian. "We can't just do nothing." Mike says "I know kid, but it's Chief's orders." Darian says
