Mike+Eleven || I Found You

three

Hopper (didn't expect this did you ^.^)

I ran straight out of Hawkins lab. I can't believe what I just saw, what I just witnessed. I don't know where to go. I got straight into my car and drove out, trying to get away from Dr Brenner and his lab rats.

I drove as fast as I could, to make sure Dr Brenner wouldn't catch up to me and kidnap me again. The first person I can think of is Joyce, I want to go to her and tell her what's happened, but I haven't seen her in a few months, I couldn't just rock up and say hey, I got some news, EL'S ALIVE AND BEING USED FOR MORE EXPERIMENTS. 

{a/n: take a minute to let that sink in...}

I knocked on Joyce's door and Will opened up.

"Hey kid, is Joyce home?" I asked.

"She's at Eleven's memorial, been a year today." He said as I remembered. Well she isn't actually dead...

"How long until she's home?" I asked as Will looked at his watch.

"Should be now. They said it finished at 3:30. Do... You want to come in?"

"Thought you'd never ask." I said sarcastically as I walked through the door and the whole house had been done up. Differently to what it was before with all those Christmas lights and shit. I sat in their kitchen and a question popped into my head. "Why aren't you at Eleven's Memorial today?"

"Well, first of all I'm sick, second I can't really go to someone's memorial when I didn't know them." Will said as he has a point but still.

"She risked her whole life for you and the boys." I said.

"I know... But I just feel like if I did go, I would probably be the only one not crying. If you know what I mean." Pathetic reason but ok.

"Yeah." I whispered as then Joyce came through the door.

"Will! I'm- Hopper! Oh my god!" Joyce said as I got up and she hugged me tight. "I haven't see you in quite some time!" We pulled away. "How are you?"

"I'm great, how are you?" I said with a cheesy smile. Joyce always makes me smile.

"I'm... Great! Now you're here." She said as there is a little silence. I broke it.

"Listen, I need to talk to you." I said as we both sat down as I began to tell her everything. "You know... Eleven?"

"Yeah? If you're going to ask if it was her memorial today then yes it-"

"Joyce. She's alive." I said quickly as Joyce froze.

"What?" She whispered.

"El is-"

"I heard what you said... But I mean... How? And how do you know this?" Joyce asks as I gulp.

"I saw her in Hawkins lab."

Mike
Me and Nancy walked through the door and I began to walk upstairs but Nancy grabbed my arm.

"What?"

"We're going to talk." She said as I nodded. She dragged me to the couch and we sat next to each other. "You know I'm your sister, and that you can tell me anything, right?"

"Right." I said with a bit of nod.

"So if I ask you a couple questions... You won't get angry or defensive, you'll tell me the truth?" Nancy says as I nod. "Good. I was talking with Dustin and Lucas earlier and I asked them to go check on you in that church-"

"Oh my god they told you didn't they..." I said realising that conversation I had with them, was set up by Nancy.

"I wanted to check to see if you was okay! But ovbiously you're not! And I want you to let it all out. Tell me everything." She said as I looked at her.

"What's there to say? That the girl I truly loved, left? The girl who was different to everyone else? The girl who wanted to be pretty, but didn't realise she was much much more? The girl who... I had my first kiss with? The girl who I first loved? The girl who made me feel alive for the first time?" I said as I ran out of things to say, but I meant every word.

"Michael-"

"I know you're my sister and I'm supposed to tell you everything, but you know I'm not a very open person." I said, looking away from Nancy.

"Mike... I didn't know you felt this way about... El." She said as I started to cry. "I knew you have been acting differently because you've changed a little, but I thought it was because of everything that has happened. But it was just because of her, right?"

With no hesitation. "Right. She's my world Nancy." I said looking at her.

"I need to get my girl back."

Joyce
"Right so do you know the plan or do you want me to go through it again?" Hopper asked me.

"Just one more time." I said as Hopper rolled his eyes.

"First, we are going to go to the Wheeler's and tell them what I saw. We'll get Mike to bring Dustin and Lucas and tell them. We'll get weapons and we will crush Hawkin's lab and we will find Eleven in her bedroom, that's where I saw her. Me and Mike will go in and take her, and we'll bring her out and we all run back to the van and go back to the Wheeler's, from there we figure out where Eleven will stay and who will take care of her. Got it?"

"Got it." I said as me and Hopper picked up bags and bags of weapons he stole from Hawkins lab and we drove to the Wheeler's.

We got out the car and knocked on the door. It swung open.
