The Mutants (Stranger Things Fanfic)

44

"This way," Jonathan told them as he was directing them throughout the lab. They had to go slowly make their way through to ensure they were not caught by any guard or scientist. Karen and Susan were holding up Nancy, who was still trembling from whatever torment they had put her through. Ted and Charles had Max and Lucas in their hold because they were still frail from the stress they had been put under. Neither of them looked like they were in stable condition. Jonathan had his hand pressed up against the walls as he listened to the electric current flowing beneath the surface. They hurried along down the corridor until they rounded the corner and---

"Holly!" Karen screamed while they rushed over to pick up her kid in her arm along with Ted, "Thank goodness you guys are alright. How did you guys get away?" 

"It wasn't that hard." 

They turned to see Erica walking up to them with a sly grin on her face.  

"Erica, what did you do?" Sue asked her with her hands pressed against her hips. Erica shot her mother a look, which gotten herself a return glare from her mom. 

"The guards are a bunch of losers! They can't handle me." Erica explained, proudly. 

"You mean you bullied them, is that it?" Charles asked with a firm voice. 

"Just the facts!" Erica stated to them. 

"Guys, I hate to break up the family reunion, but we got to get out of her before we are found by someone." Jonathan remind them. 

"Wait! Where's Mike?" Eddie blurted out. They all spun around, searching for him, but he was no where to be found. 

"Shit! I think he stayed behind." Jonathan suggested. 

"That's a good thing. I mean... that way when Joyce and Hopper come back with the kids, he can make them vanish---" Ted started when...

"Thank you for that information, Mr. Wheeler." 

Everyone turned to see Dr. Brenner and his guards standing in front of them. They darted their gazes around as they could see they were being surrounded completely. 

"I give you props for your brave effort to try and escape, but as you may have guess it was quite pointless to even attempt." Dr. Brenner stated, "Now I shall bring the children back to their rooms... and I am sorry to say, I will have to put bring you to our infirmary where you shall be dealt with." 

"In your dreams, old man!" Erica shot at him. As Sue grabbed hold of Erica's shoulder to pull her closer to her front, Dr. Brenner scoffed. 

"This is the child that has been giving my men such a hard time. You look like you're no more than four years old." 

"I'm eight, you frizzy haired, bastard! Get a haircut!" 

"ERICA!" Sue and Charles screamed. 

"JUST THE FACTS!" Erica claimed. 

"Gentlemen, if you would, please." Dr. Brenner demanded. Just as the guards were heading towards them, Jonathan rushed over to the wall. He pressed his hands against the surface of them while he focused on the energy below. He could feel it spewing and buzzing as the energy began to become higher and higher. The lights began to flicker violently before they began to spat out sparks directly; the glass covering the bulbs bursting out and shattering glass everywhere. Eddie's body began to shift and morph into a thousands fuzzy balls that soon spouted wings. He began zooming in all kinds of directions. Robin's body shifted as well until she was in the shape of a tiger. She rushed towards one of the guards and pounced. 

Sue covered Erica's eyes, which was difficult because Erica squirmed due to she wanted to see them take down the jackass that insulted her. Just as fast as the fighting had begun, it  came to a halt instantly when the air was filled with a high-pitched shrieking. Everyone turned their eyes in the direction where it was coming from. Standing at the end of the hallway, was a creature with its face opened wide like a flower exposing itself to the sun but instead of petals, it was rows upon rows of teeth. Its clawed hands were outstretched and were ready to dig into the first thing it could get its hands on. Max weakly lifted her head so she could see the creature. Her eyes widened. 

"Not Billy." She spoke just as the creature came storming in their direction.
