the fight

Mike made his way towards Eleven, pulling her into a tight hug. "I never gave up on you." He said pulling away from the hug. "I called you every night. Every night for--"

"353 days," Eleven concluded. "I heard."

"Why didn't you tell me you were there? That you were okay?"

"Because I wouldn't let her," Hopper said, making Mike turn to face him. "The hell is this? Where have you been?" He asked as he got closer to her.

"Where have you been?" Eleven asked, looking up at Hopper as he pulled her in a hug.

"You've been hiding her," Mike said from behind them. "You've been hiding her this whole time!" He shouted as he started pushing Hopper.

"Hey!" Hopper shouted as he grabbed Mike's collar. "Let's talk. Alone."

Mike and Hopper walked out of the room as Eleven walks over to Lucas and Dustin, pulling them in a  tight hug.

"We missed you," Lucas said, still hugging Eleven.

"I missed you too."

"We talked about you pretty much every day. Just ask Y/n." Dustin said as they pulled away from the hug.

Eleven looked at him before putting her thumb in his mouth, causing me to chuckle. "Teeth."

"What?" Dustin asked confused.

"You have teeth."

Dustin looked over to Lucas while smirking. "Oh. You like these pearls?" He said as he started purring causing Eleven to flinch at his action.

"Eleven?" Max asked as she walked closer. "Hey. Um, I'm Max." She stuck out her hand for Eleven to shake.

Eleven ignored her as she walked over to me. "Y/n." She said as she pulled me in a hug. "Pretty."

"No, you are," I said as I pulled away. " I mean look at you in this new clothing, you look so cool."

"Bitchin." She smirked and I did the same. 

Saving Joyce for last Eleven walked over to her, hugging her as well. Both of them went into Will's room and the rest of us stayed.

I decided to walk over to Steve, who was surprisingly really quiet. "It's nice to see all of them together," I said as I nudged his arm.

"Huh? Oh, yeah it is." He answered while nodding making me giggle.

We overheard Joyce and Eleven talking about the gate and we decided to walk over to them.

"Do you think that if we got you back there, that you could close it?" Joyce asked while looking at Eleven.

Eleven looked back at her, slowly nodding her head.

We made our way around the kitchen table, formulating a plan for Eleven.

"It's not like it was before. It's grown." Hopper said before sighing. "A lot. And, I mean, that's considering we can get in there. The place is crawling with those dogs."

"Demo-dogs." Dustin corrected Hopper.

"I'm sorry, what?" Hopper asked.

"I said, uh, Demo-dogs. Like Demogorgon and dogs. You put them together it sounds pretty badass-"

"How is this important right now?" Hopper asked, clearly annoyed.

"It's not. I'm sorry." Dustin apologized as he awkwardly turned away from Hopper.

"I can do it," Eleven said causing us to look at her.

"You're not hearing me." Hopper shook his head.
