What if....Lucas and Max started to grow more close to one another while settling down in the mountains? (Fluff and smut. And a little Angst) (Continues a few months after chapter Forty)

"What are we going to do?"

All of the GuardRunners are gathered up in the room, Eleven and the others being included.

"What do you mean what are we going to do we have to find them." Eleven mentions.

"They may be in danger as we speak." Mike adds in.

"But it was their choice to leave." Another guard mentions. "Max beat up all of the guards to let her out and Lucas persuade them to let him go, they both left willingly."

"Yeah but they may need our help." Steve says back, looking at Hopper who has his arms crossed while he looks down a little in thought. "Commander?"

Hopper sighs a little bit. "Normally I would agree with you guys but...they did choose to leave willingly."

"Commander—"

"Plus outside of the walls is uncharted territory, we do not know what faces us outside of the walls." Hopper adds in.

"Those are two of our very best commander." Jonathan says. "The only reason why Max left is to save Lucas, she wants him back in the city."

"Then why weren't we contacted?" Hopper questions.

"Because out of all of us she knows him the most." Dustin says. "She wouldn't have just left the city she likes this city. She has some plan we are sure of it."

"We don't want to risk our lives for the ones who chose to leave this city." One guard mentions.

"Commander..." Eleven trails off.

Hopper sighs a little bit. "They're right." He mentions, going to uncross his arms. "It is uncharted territory, I will not risk the life of my guards for the ones who willingly left this city. If they come back to the doors wanting to be let in I will absolutely let them, but as for going outside of the walls that has been denied."

"But what if they are in danger?" Suzie questions baffled.

"Then they put themselves in that situation." Hopper replies simply. "Dismissed."

All of them just look at the commander before they all leave out of the room, them making a little circle. "What the hell are we going to do?" Mike questions.

Eleven shakes her head while she looks down a little in thought. "Max wouldn't just leave like this without a plan."

"You think she is what? Planning something to come back?" Nancy questions.

Eleven looks up at all of them. "Max isn't stupid."

"Okay so what are you saying?" Steve questions.

Eleven looks between all of them before she says her next words confidently.

"We have to find her."

Max hums a little while she sows the different shirts up, her actually able to find needle and thread while she was hunting and scavenging. Her and Lucas both came up with an agreement when they started settling in on the mountains a few months ago. While Lucas focused on building a house for them she would focus on scavenging out for different things. Most times she never found much but there were times where she found some really good things.

Solar panels, which was a really good find that way Lucas can put them on top of the house that way they can get some power. She found that and a generator in a old abandoned settlement, clearly a settlement that people ran away from. She found more UV lights, her actually finding more UV beams to put within lights that way they can put them around the base. And of course other helpful things that they are using.
