Baylee woke up the next morning and yawned. She reached over to find no one there. She sat up a bit confused.
"El?" she groaned. No answer. Baylee hopped up and checked the bathroom, empty. She went downstairs to the smell of food.
"Hey where is El?" Hopper asked as Baylee came into the kitchen.
"She's not in here?" Baylee said suddenly growing very serious. He put his pan down and went upstairs.
"El?!" He called. Baylee went around downstairs calling too when she found it. A horror.
"Hopper!" Baylee screamed and he came running.
'Come or they die.' a note read. Baylee was trembling.
"What?! Come where?! Who?!" Hopper was freaking out.
"Hop... that's my mom's handwriting. She's supposed to be dead-" Baylee was shaking and crying a little.
"Don't worry honey-" he was talking.
"No. I have to go." Baylee said.
Days went by and days turned into months. Baylee was losing her mind. She was on the verge of killing herself. One night she got an idea that she knew would have to be right. The lab. Baylee's mom was known to torture people. The easiest place to scare El would have to be the lab. Baylee got dressed and geared up and went there. When she pulled in outside the fence she grew full of anger. She climbed the gate and left Hopper a message on his phone. She went in.
Baylee stormed in full of anger.
"Mom!" Baylee yelled. Men came around the corner and with a flash Baylee snapped both their necks and continued on. Suddenly she heard something. She heard sobbing, yelling, and than sobbing 'ow'. El. It had to be. She put her ear on the wall. She was near. Baylee ran around until she made it in. Her mom had a beaten up terrified looking El who had a large six-month protruding belly.
"It took you long enough." her mom spat.
"Let her go. You can have me." Baylee panted fearing for El.
"Don't you see... this baby she is caring will be stronger than either of you." her mom said. Suddenly Baylee was stabbed from behind and electrocuted. She fell weak.
"No! Baylee- Baylee-" El screamed and gasped.
"Shut up!" Baylee's mom screamed.
Baylee grunted in pain clenching her side where she was stabbed.
"Your powers are gone now. You're helpless." her mom said.
"You forgot one thing." Baylee panted. Her mom looked confused.
"I have dad's powers too and I am made of them." Baylee grunted. She got up and three metal claws came out of each of her hands and the wound healed. She stabbed her mom in the leg and her mom fell. Baylee grabbed El and hugged her tight.
"El- El oh my god I'm sorry-" Baylee cried.
"No. No it wasn't your fault." El sniffled.
"El-" Baylee was in relief.
"I knew you'd come." El whispered holding Baylee as tight as she could.
"Come here, I'm going to get you home." Baylee went to pick her up but El stopped her.
"M-my feet..." El said. Baylee set her down. El's feet were a bit swollen but had needles in them at the bottom.
"Christ... she used to do that to me... hold onto something I'll get them out." Baylee said. El was shaking. Baylee pulled them out best she could and El sobbed the entire time. Baylee hugged her at the end and picked her up. She ran with her and got them to the fence where Hopper was.
"Hopp-" Baylee said.
"I'm working on it!" He growled as he was cutting on the fence. Men ran out.
"Here-" Baylee slid El through. He pulled her and Baylee pushed her.
"Baylee-" El groaned and reached.
"I'm sorry." Baylee said. She turned and faced the men and put her hands up. They had guns with bullets made out of the same metal than her skeleton was. One fired and shot her in the leg and she fell wincing and grimacing. Hopper shot many down and got reinforcements that showed up when needed. Baylee got up and fought for her life until they won. Baylee was sweating out of every pore in her body so much her hair was soaked. She was shaking and panting. She turned to see El hobbling at her grimacing at her own foot-pain. Baylee limped to her and the two collided in a hug and El kissed her hard. Baylee kissed her back than hugged her tighter. She carried El to the car and they went to the hospital.
El was a mess and cleaning her up was awful and gave her a ton of flashbacks and pain. She still had the baby but she was scared of practically everything. They went home. Baylee held El close in bed and they slept all night and all day until El got up.
"Baby?" Baylee groaned and reached for El than frantically sat up when she wasn't there.
"I'm contracting." El said. Baylee sat up and sat right behind El and let her legs go on either side of El who was sitting on the edge of the bed. El set Baylee's hand on the spot it hurt.
"Whoa... it really moves huh?" Baylee said. El nodded with a groan. The pain ebbed down and Baylee and El laid back down.
