Bookworm & Toothless (Stranger Things AU) #Wattys2018

[9]

Eleven was playing with Mike's Supercomm again while Mike, Lucas, Dustin, and Jess talked about how they were going to get Operation Mirkwood going.

"We just tell our parents we have AV Club after school. That'll give us at least a few hours for Operation Mirkwood."

"You seriously think that the weirdo knows where Will is?" Lucas asked, earning a smack in the head from Jess.

"Ow!"

"Don't call her a 'weirdo'," she growled.

"Just trust me on this, okay?" Mike says, giving Jess a grateful look for hitting Lucas for the 'weirdo' comment.

"Okay."

"Did you get the supplies?"

"Yeah. Binoculars...from Nam'. Army knife...also from 'Nam. Hammer, camouflage bandana...and the wrist rocket."

"You're gonna take out the Demogorgon with a slingshot?" Dustin asked, causing Jess to giggle.

"First of all, it's a wrist rocket. And second of all, the Demogorgon's not real. It's made up. But if there is something out there, I'm gonna shoot it in the eye..."

He flips it, causing the three to flinch.

"And blind it."

Mike sighs.

"Jess, what did you get?"

She smirks at Lucas before pulling out a rifle, the boys' eyes widening.

"Well, I for one think the Demogorgon exists and if it comes after us..."

Jess aims her rifle at Lucas, who jumps in fear.

"I'll blow it's fucking head off."

"Ok, put that down before you accidentally shoot someone."

Jess giggles and puts it away, making Mike sigh shakily before turning to Dustin.

"Dustin, what did you get?"

Dustin dumps out his backpack, which is full of snacks and junk food.

"Well, alrighty. So we've got..."

Jess giggles at Lucas and Mike's faces of 'are you kidding me?' towards Dustin.

"Nutty Bars, Bazooka, Pez, Smarties, Pringles, Nilla Wafers, apple, banana, and trail mix."

Mike and Lucas share a look and Jess bursts out laughing at their looks of 'he's not taking this seriously'.

"Seriously?" Lucas asked, glaring at Jess who covered her mouth, her eyes shut tightly as she tried to control her laughter.

"We need energy for our travels. For stamina."

"And I agree with you, Dustin," Jess says, grabbing his hat and placing it on her head.

"Hey!"

Jess giggles.

"Besides, why do we even need weapons anyways? We have her."

"She shut one door!" Lucas argued.

"With her mind!" Dustin exclaims, Jess tilting her head and raising her eyebrows as she nods.

"That is true," she admitted.

"See?! Are you kidding me? That's insane! Imagine all the other cool stuff she could do."

He looked up thinking of something.

"Like..."

He grabbed a spaceship, bringing it over.
