The Mutants (Stranger Things Fanfic)

"Are the kids okay?" Nancy asked while they were all huddled around in a small corner in the back of the library. 

"If fine means they are so frightened by what had happened last night they didn't even want to come to school or leave their rooms, then yeah, they are completely fine." Jonathan mumbled. Steve lightly slapped his hand against Jonathan's shoulder. 

"I'm sorry, Nance, it's just--- we left the lab so we didn't have to deal with any of this weird shit anymore and now it's back in our lives. Worst, El and Will could have gotten hurt or worst." Jonathan apologized. 

"It's okay." Nancy told him. 

"I'm curious of what this thing is?" Eddie stated. 

"I want to know why did it attack Will and El." Robin claimed. 

"What I want to know is when the hell were you going to tell me about this?" Billy growled while holding up the photo Jonathan had taken. 

"We didn't know how you would react if we were to show you," Robin explained to him, "I mean after all... the monster kind of..." 

Robin didn't finished her sentence as she began fumbling with her rings. 

"Say it, Robin...  It looks like my other side. I'm not blind! I can see it right here." Billy spat at her before tossing the photo at Steve. 

"Billy, we understand that you're upset, but-- it's kind of a good thing." Nancy pointed out. She knew the moment Billy turned his head towards her with a heated glaring beaming from his eyes that she had offended him. 

"W-what I mean is... since it looks like you... it m-might have the same weaknesses as you, which would make it easier for us to kill off." Nancy explained herself. 

"That is a good point," Steve suggested to Billy. 

"The only problem is, we don't know where it came from or where it went... or even when it is going to strike again or how to draw it out of where it's hiding." Eddie pointed out. Nancy opened her mouth to speak when she was silenced by the bell. 

"Guys we'll discuss this after school, we need to head back to class." Nancy advised them while flinging her bag over her shoulder and proceeded to class followed by her friends. 

*Hawkins Sheriff's Department* 

Hopper was looking around at the map in his office of Hawkins; his eyes scanning every inch of the map. The reason? Because he remembered what Billy had said about them not helping the kids when they were close by. If he remembered correctly, Billy had claimed the lab had been a couple miles away. His eyes were wandering about to figure out where could the lab be. He made a circle around Hawkins a couple miles pass Benny's burgers and the abandon Steelworks factory. 

He wasn't sure entirely where the lab was, but he was sure it was somewhere in the wood area since the kids were find in the woods. The only building that was in the range where he had marked the chance of  being the lab was the Hawkins Power and Light Company. As he was slightly considering about the power company, a knocking came from his door. 

"Who is it?" Hopper asked. 

"It's me," Joyce called through as she entered the office, "What are you doing?" 

"I--uh-- trying to find something," 

"What?" 

"It's just-- I remembered what Billy said when we were at Benny's diner. You know how he claimed how we didn't help them beforehand when they were only a few miles away? It began pestering me, and making me wonder exactly where did they come from?" Hopper asked, his hand roaming over the map, "So I put down markers of where they could have been hidden away for so long." 

"What will you do if you do find it?" Joyce asked him. 

"I don't know. But it bothers me, thinking here were these kids being experimented on... and we didn't do anything about it." 

"How could we? We didn't know they existed till just now?" Joyce reminded him. 

"Yeah, I know. It just-- bugs me knowing this was happening right underneath our noses. It feels like I was apart of it without actually being a part of it." Hopper explained to her. Joyce lightly rubbed her hand on Hopper's shoulder till a light knocking came echoing into the air. 

"Who is it?" Hopper called out. 

"Ms. Frazier with Social Services. We are here to talk."
