Taking On Hawkins (ST cast x Reader)(Dustin x Reader)

Chapter 23: I Don't Know, Kid

Y/n's POV

"What the hell does this mean for me then?"

"I don't know kid, but I'm gonna figure out."

I looked at him and gave a small smile. At least someone with some authority is helping me now. I'd much rather have Hopper know about this than my parents. I trust my mom with almost everything, but she would flip if any of this reached her. I'd most definitely never be able to leave the house with her watching me like a prisoner.

"Well kid, I guess it's time for me to take you back to your house."

"Uh, aren't you kinda forgetting something?"

"Hmm. Nope. Can't think of anything."

"Uh, I was gonna see El?"

"How do you suppose I know where the kid is...?"

I stared at him with one eyebrow raised.

"Really?"

"What-"

"Did you forget I kinda saw where she was, y'know with these powers?" I tapped the temple of my forehead.

"Damn. I was hoping you'd forget," He responded with a sigh. "I don't know kid...you're friends with those boys so you're likely to tell where she is, or make her wanna run to Mike or something. And she cannot be put in danger like that," He replied sternly.

"Promise for promise? I'll keep El on the down low and you help me with whatever shit is gonna go down with Brenner. Pleeeaase?"

He grumbled a bit as if he was deciding. On a quick note I added one more thing. I bet this'll work.

"I can even help her with any girl stuff, give her a taste of normal life and a friend! Please Hopper!"

At the mention of this, I think it hit him that he would definitely need help with those things and he quickly agreed. I gotta admit it was kinda hard not to laugh at his expression. Wide eyes, and a look of shock as his face dropped.

"Alright kid, but if I hear so much as a peep from you to your buddies...you're gonna lose any shot of figuring out what happened to you with Brenner. Got it?"

"Crystal clear," I said with smirk and extended my hand to shake his.

He accepted and we got out of the car, walking towards the cabin.

"Watch the wire," he called over his back as he stepped over it. I followed suit and we reached the creaky porch. Hopper knocked on the door in a special pattern. Guess he has a pretty good setup to keep her hidden. The locks on the door clicked open one by one and it creaked open.

There she stood.

A/N: Please don't hate me for such a short chapter but let's all blame homework for being such an ass and taking up my brain cells...
