The Year 1985

Chapter 41: Tragedy Has Struck Again

Warning/s: mentions of firearms

The basement door creaked open when the two dashed out and they were left alone inside in a nightmare environment, evidently in a condition of a fresh plight. All of them traded deep glimpses and were clueless about what they must perform to stop them. The difficulty they have experienced is increasing every minute once an action has been completed. A heavy sigh escaped from Jim as that made them stressed out more.

"We should stop them," Will suggested and Mike followed along as he nodded. However, Lucas tried to contradict it.

The boy went closer and expressed, "Eleven just activated her powers. It's dangerous when she is furious." No other options can be recognized on the desk and at the moment, everyone is in a hopeless state that everything will be fixed. Every time they think, the chance is decreasing. The kids can't even voice out what they wish to speak, so at least they can alleviate the circumstances because one might not appreciate the idea. Mike shoved his fingers through his curly hair, sick and worried for his beloved lover. It's evening and the surroundings are unpredictable outside.

The Hargeeves siblings raised other ideas that might aid the problem. They offered to check on Eleven outside, plus, these brothers and sisters have the huge advantage to control the girl. Yet, one's mind wanted to know if they are somehow related to the young Hopper.

"We don't and there's too much to explain for now," Allison responded immediately.

Before they could check on what has been happening outside the Wheeler's residence, all of them were greeted by a scream that made quivers down their spines coming from the street which illustrated a curiosity in their complexions, but the voice was familiar. It sounded much like Eleven's. They have no choice but to pace as fast as they can and proceeded to the house's exit, leaving no one inside the basement.

Five shrieked hopelessly. "You have to stop this!" Eleven fell on the ground due to the lack of power as Five caught her in his arms. The blood from the girl's nose is scattered on the uniform she is wearing, seemingly like she was attacked by the employees of the Temps Commission. These people have huge loads of guns with them. Unfortunately, the opponents are much stronger than them. Lila mirrored her powers and had been firing on one another since they arrived on this street.

Soon, Brenner entered the frame which made the girl even more hysterical. "I want you to stay away!" Jane commanded, not wanting to feel the hands of the doctor again and tears began to form once more.

The Handler was only watching the scenario happen with a wide smile on her face while blowing a cigarette. "These kids are so naive." She mumbled to herself.

Before the others could go help Eleven and Five, the employees began to point their guns at the two. They could not count how many of the Temps Commission workers are there as they were covered by suits and ties to camouflage through the dark setting. That's a little smart of them. However, Eleven tried to stand up again despite the injuries caused by The Handler's daughter.

"Lila? What the hell are you doing?" Diego flashed a frowning expression plastered on his face. He took a few steps toward her, can't believe what is currently happening, as he thought his so-called girlfriend is still a traitor and never changed. "Helping my mother against, you all, bastards." The black-haired girl replied.

"DIEGO, DON'T GO NEAR HER!" Klaus panicked, trying to pull his brother back.

Lila confidently uttered as she fiercely faced the girl. The intense suspense builds up again between their distance. "So, this is Eleven. I guess we have to make your friend unconscious then."
