Cheat The Devil- Steve Harrington x Fem OC ON HOLD UNIT END OF SEPTEMBER 2024

005

After a while of the teens waiting Hopper finally showed up, but with Joyce. Some bickering later and the teens went into hoppers office to tell him what was going on, to the 3 teen surprise he believed them. Everyone ended up in Joyce's car heading to the Wheeler home. Once they arrived they saw 'Hawkins light and energy' cars surrounding the house with people going in and out of the house and cars. 

"I have to go home, my mom and dad are there" Nancy said 

Hopper and Nancy bickered for a while before they both got back in the car and headed to the Byers house to find Mike. As Nancy was trying to get ahold of Mike with the walkie talkie in Wills room, Layla spoke up. 

"That's not gonna work"

"And why's that?" Hopper asked angrily 

"These kids like Star Wars right? They are gonna think this is a Lando-" Hopper cut her off

"Lando?"

"You know, think Nancy's been captured by the enemy and is trying to turn them in by pretending to be on their side for information"

This time Hopper used the walkie talkie , and it worked. After finding out the kids were at the old abandon junkyard, both Hoppers got into the car to get the kids. Layla and Jim quietly walked towards the bus, each taking out one guy outside, leaving one. The last guy was about to enter the bus when Layla grabbed him and pulled him out, he fought back so Jim came over and knocked him out. 

"I had him!" Layla snapped 

"I know. But if I let you have him you would've had one more than me" Hopper smirked. 

Layla just rolled her eyes, everything had to be a competition between them. Walking in the bus Jim yelled at the kids to follow, after some shock they followed the Hoppers off the bus and to the car. Soon arriving at the Byers home again, Nancy and Mike had a weird and awkward heart to heart. After everyone was back inside Mike showed both Hopper, the Byers and Nancy the upside-down and told them about Eleven/El and her powers as well as the demogorgon. Eleven tried to use her powers to find Will and Barb but was unsuccessful so she left for the bathroom to clean the blood from her nose. El soon came back to the dining room saying she could find them in the bath. Dustin called his science teacher to find out how to build a deprivation tank. After learning how to everyone headed to the middle school where there was enough salt to build it. 

Layla didn't really understand what was happening but she tried to be helpful and make Eleven feel safe. A few minutes into Eleven being in the deprivation tank she said Barbs name, which made Nancy scoot closer. Eleven started panicking saying gone over and over. Layla and Joyce tried to comfort Eleven and calm her down. 

"Castle Byers" Eleven spoke softly

"Will?" Joyce began telling Eleven what to say to Will. 

"Hurry" was heard on the walkie talkie, Will was alive. 

Eleven sat up removing the goggles from her face and leaning into Joyce. Layla and Nancy left the gym to sit in the hall, soon after Jonathan joined them. Layla eventually broke the silence. 

"We need to go back to the station"

"What?" Jonathan asked

"Your parents are going in there like bait" Nancy said

"You guys wanna kill it?" Jonathan asked

"We wanna finished what we started" Nancy said while Layla nodded

The tree teen then returned to the closed station to retrieve their box of supplies for killing the monster. As they were leaving Nancy grabbed the fire extinguisher.
