001 (Mike Wheeler Stranger Things FF) *ON HOLD*

19

I saw Will's face getting a little bit red, that's a good sign. He's getting his heat back. His eyes shot open. "Will?" Johnathan asked. Will looked at him and then met my eyes. Inside his eyes is when I saw it. There was red around his cornea. His eyes were deeper than I've ever seen. 

"Help!" I heard a cry. It sounded like Will. "Will??" I ran around the dark world. "Help!" I heard again. Then I found a door. It looked so familiar! Where have I seen it before?? I opened the door and I saw Will on the floor. It was Mike's basement. Everyone was here. It was today, right now,  but in the upside down. Will was in the blankets and everyone was surrounding us while I was kneeling on the floor with my head in my hands. Mike's hand was on my back, rubbing it gently. "Kaysie" I heard a voice. It was Will's voice. I looked at his body. There was a vibrating in his chest. I laid my hand on top of the blanket and I felt something take over me. I looked down and saw a black shadow covering my hand. 

I took my hand off and looked at Will's head. There was an arm on it. I looked to where the arm came from and saw it. The shadow. I felt it creep into my soul. I saw it. I saw the weaknesses.

Fire

Heat

It was a spy. It was using Will as a spy for itself. It was going to take not only Will but everyone around him. The only way to fight it was to burn it out of Will. But who knows if there will ever be that much heat, and that much luck to not harm Will in the process. It was making Will sick. Will was getting weak, that's why he was shaking so much. The creature is home to a lab, where the upside down holds it's door. If he goes there, then they will know how to stop this!

I opened my eyes and looked up. Will was hyperventilating, same as I. Johnathan held Will down and Mike was holding me from the side. "I.. Know..." I panted. "Know what??" Johnathan worried. "It's home is in a lab. It hates any sort of heat. It's making Will sick. He needs to go to the lab, they may be able to help. Will is a spy. We need to be careful" I took all the breath I had to say just those few sentences. Lucas got me a tissue to wipe the blood off. "So when can we go??" Johnathan panicked. "Everything is closed tomorrow for Christmas, then Sunday every office will also be closed. So we'll have to wait till Monday." Mike said. "So what can we do to help him till then???" Jonathan shouted. "Calm down" I shouted at him.

"I get it, this is your brother. But this is what we have to deal with for now. I physically can not do anything to help for now unless he has another freak out. If he does then I can connect in the moment like right now. Other than that, I can't do anything. I can give my advice but I can't help too much until I know down to the root" I felt rude for telling him off but I couldn't deal with this right now. "So wait a second, if you're saying that you can help him when he's like this, does that mean we should contact you every time this happens so you can come see him?" He asked. "I mean, yeah, if it gets really difficult for him" He  nodded. "I need your number then. So I can call you right away" 

I got enough strength to go to the couch and search through my purse for my phone. We exchanged phone numbers and soon Will woke up again. "Come on Will, it's time to go home" Johnathan said before helping him and and they said their goodbyes. Will went up to me and gave me a big hug. "Thank you" He whispered to me. I smiled at him, "No worries. You know my number if you need me" He smiled and followed Johnathan upstairs after saying his goodbyes to everyone else. "Mike" A voice called from upstairs. I saw a figure walk down the stairs. It was Nancy. "Yeah?" He asked. "Can I speak to you outside?" He nodded and they went outside.

"Kaysie, would you mind bringing me home also? My mom just texted me that I have no ride" Max asked. "Yeah totally. Just let me know when you want to leave" She thanked me and put her phone back in her purse. "Are you okay now?" Mickey asked sitting next to me, Suzie on the other side. I nodded. "Yeah. I just didn't think the flashes would be that powerful" I exposed. 

"Kaysie?!" I heard mom call from upstairs. I got off the couch and went up the stairs, mom was waiting at the top with the twins. "Can you take care of the twins for me for a second? Hopper is at our house and needs to see me" I nodded and took the twins and the bag from her. I carefully walked downstairs and back to the couch. I slung the bag from my shoulder gently onto the floor beside the couch. "Oh my god you have children??" Dustin said. I laughed. "No, these are my foster siblings until they find a good home" 

"Oh" He nervously laughed. "What's the names?" Lucas asked. "Rosie and Leo" He nodded and smiled at them. It's weird  how they become so much softer around babies. "Can I hold Leo?" Max asked. I nodded and gave Leo to her. She cradled him in her arms. Rosie grabbed my necklace and fiddled it around her fingers. I wiped her baby hairs out of her face and fixed her little dress. Mike came in with Nancy and looked really upset yet concerned. She went back upstairs and he took a deep breath before sitting next to me. "Is that your sister?" He asked. I nodded. "Brother?"

I pointed to Max and he nodded. He put his arm around my shoulders and slouched into the couch. "Are you okay?" I asked. He sighed. "I guess. Nancy was just telling me some stuff about her and Steve" He said. I could tell he was lying about the whole Nancy and Steve part. "I know that's not the whole truth" I said softly. He sighed again. "She said not to get attached to you, okay? She told me how she was to Steve is what we are now. Now she's into Johnathan a little and she just doesn't want me to break my own heart like she did to hers" He ranted.

Now that part was the truth. I sighed and leaned into him. I put Rosie against my chest since she was starting to fall asleep. I felt him kiss my head and pull me closer to him. "I don't want to lose you" He whispered in my ear.  "I don't want to lose you either" I whispered back. He grabbed my free hand and intertwined our fingers. 

I've finally realized something in my life. I'm not made to be called a freak, or a weirdo, or strange. I was made to find love and to find a family. With these strangers, I have made a family. I never thought I was going to find love. I wanted to feel love the way mom did when she was with dad. But I ruined it with my powers. Ever since then I thought that my powers were a curse and I was always going to break everything and anything around me. I never expected this to happen. I never thought I was 1) ever going to school again and 2) find someone that would think of me as a hero. In Hawkins, i'm nobody. But to Mike, Dustin, Will, Lucas, and Max... I am somebody. I am loved by them. They are part of my family. I am what they need to help themselves.

I am a hero to Will, i'm helping him get through this tough world. I am in love with Mike. Yes, I said it, in love. I love this kid to death. No one has ever made me feel the way he makes me feel. I've been lied to by the only men that have been in my life. But Mike, is definitely not the same as those men. Mike cares for me. Mike believes in me. Mike is one of the only things that have been getting me out of the hard times. Yeah, sure, he may mess up here and there, and the trust was hard to keep at first.. But honestly, I would never trade this boy for the world. 

I feel like we've know each other for years, even though we only met on Monday, it's been 5 days. But it has gone by so slow. It feels like it's been longer. The more time away from him, the more time I wish I was with him. I had never craved someone this much. I just hope he loves me too. Because Mike is the only person I need and want to love for a long time.
