Solivagant - To Wander Alone.
Ivy has been wondering alone for a long time. Ever since she escaped the lab in 1979 when there was a massacre. She always felt bad about leaving her sister there but she couldn't find her before she left and feared sh...

3rd POV:
"So, you went into the tunnels even though I told you not to and you almost got eaten by Demo-dogs? Am I right in saying that." Hopper says.
"Yeah." They all nodded agreeing with him.
"Why did you go down there?" Joyce asks.
"We didn't like being stuck here, it made us feel useless. Besides, from what you have told us, we helped you guys. If it wasn't for us burning the hub then the Demo-dogs wouldn't have been distracted and Hopper would have been eaten." Ivy defends, making the others go quiet and stop questioning them.
"Well, the lab won't be a problem anymore." Nancy says.
"Why's that?" Joyce asks.
"Jonathan and I were off getting them taken down. We sent a recording to different newspapers knowing that the only way to get rid of them would be to let people know that they are doing illegal things there."
"You didn't release anything about..." Hopper asks, pointing to the two girls in the room.
"No. We made it seem like a chemical leak and that they killed Barb. It should be enough to create enough noise to get them to shut down and give Barb's parents some closure." Nancy says.
"Anyone else got anything to add?" Hopper asks.
Everyone shakes their heads and so they all break off. They didn't speak about everything that happened but now they all know what is going on and no one is left in the dark.
They all went off to do their own things, Ivy and Steve took all the kids with them, including Will, and they went for ice cream. The kids wanted something after having to get up that early for basically nothing.
Steve and Ivy ended up spending the rest of the day with the kids. They took them for ice cream and then to watch a movie. They wanted the kids to have a normal day after the last week.
The next big important thing for the kids is the Snow Ball and Steve and Ivy were dreading it. They were basically parents now which means they are on drop offs and making sure everyone is happy and good. And especially that there is no fighting in the party.

One Month Later:
Earlier that month the lab shut down and it was released that Barb had been killed by a chemical leak. There was a funeral for her and Steve went and asked Ivy to come. He felt responsible for Barb's death, as she was taken at his house. He didn't want to be alone at the funeral so Ivy came along too, as support. She may not have known the girl but she wanted to pay her respects, no one deserves to die like that.
A week later, and it was the day of the Snow Ball. Mike had asked El if she wanted to go with him but Hopper had shut that down, saying that El still can't really go out, even with the lab gone.
