A/n: Hello everybody! Today is December 24th, 2020. I'm getting my wisdom teeth removed in January and I had my consultation with my surgeon yesterday and I had a panic attack. That's not even the worst part. The worst part is that he's hot. He's so hot; I couldn't stop looking at his hands. He had veins running down his arm into his hand and his nails were cut down. He's explaining what's going to happen during the surgery and during post-op and I'm sitting there thinking "you are so beautiful"

Y/n and Robin rejoin the group after finishing their milkshake in an eager and comfortable silence. Steve looks at them and winks at Robin, who rolls her eyes. Y/n sees an opprotunity and snatches it. "We should ride the Ferris Wheel!" She announces, grabbing Eleven's hand.

"I call dibs on riding with El!" She drags the girl with her onto a pink gondola and latches the door shut. El looks at her with wide, suspicious eyes. 

Y/n tries to smile as inconspiciously as possible and swallows down her racing heart. "So, El, tell me. What is your origin story?"

El peers at her. "I... was adopted by my dad, Hopper, about 3 years ago. He, um, he died in the Starcourt fire, so I live with Mike now."

"That's it?"

El nods, pursing her lips. Y/n sighs and looks out the window over the vast country town. She runs her fingers through her hair, her long sleeves pulling away from her wrists a little. Eleven catches a glimpse of black ink peeking out at her, but Y/n catches her staring and pulls her sleeve back down again. 

Eleven looks at her closely, feeling something stir inside her. Y/n locks eyes with the girl, feeling it within her as well. Before anyone can say anything, the ride slows to a stop, and the door unlocks and swings open.

Y/n shakes off the seeming trance and exits the gondola, smiling at the group, who also climb off. Robin grabs onto Y/n's hand tightly and beams at her. "We should all go for a drive, shouldn't we?" She offers.

Y/n smiles. "That sounds great! I walked here, so I hope there's enough room for me."

"Of course," Nancy says, twirling the keys in her hands. Everyone piles into the car, Robin, Y/n, and Steve in the middle row, with Nancy and Jonathan at the front and the rest of the kids in the back. They set off away from the park, dawdling through the calming hills. 

"I missed this place," Y/n mutters under her breath.

"What was that?" Robin asks. Y/n smiles. "Nothing."

Eleven looks at her skeptically, having picked up on her words. The car pulls through a small canyon between two hills and slows down, the hills to their left and the forest to their right. Y/n leans against the window and Robin's hand creeps over the seat to mingle with Y/n's a little.

Y/n blushes and looks at Robin, sticking her tongue out playfully. She turns her palm over and lets Robin trace lazy figures in it. Her ears prick up when she hears movement in the forest through the lowered windows.

Her head snaps to the side as a man with large glasses and messy brown hair stumbles out with a gun in his hands. Instinctually, Y/n flings the car door open and throws herself out, breaking her fall with a somersault. The man spots her and lifts the gun, but Y/n is faster.

She reaches her hand out towards the trees and brings it down across her body hard, vines shooting out of the shrubbery and snatching the gun from his hands, throwing it far from them. Her gold eyes sparkle wildy. Nancy slams on the brakes and everyone watches in pure disbelief, not believing their eyes.

Reaching towards the ground and bringing her hands up, grass shoots from the earthy floor and wraps around the man, causing him to fall to the ground as the leafy restraints bind him. Y/n apprehensively approaches him, her hands tense. 

She peers down at the man's face, but instead of seeing someones struggling, she sees a familiar young man that looks terrified. "ALEXEI?!" Y/n yells, astonished. She waves her hands and the vines shrink away from him. He sits up and stares at her, then smiles brightly at her face.

"Y/N!" He exclaims in his thick Russian accent. He jumps to his feet and hugs her tightly, her legs wrapping around his waist as she laughs in disbelief.

The kids in the car look amongst themself. How does she know who Alexei is? Didn't Alexei die? And how is she manipulating the earth?

Alexei sets her down and pushes his glasses back up his dirtied nose. Y/n surveys him. "Что с тобой случилось? Товарищ генерал сказал мне, что вы умерли," she says in perfect Russian. What happened to you? Comrade-General told me you were dead.

Nancy's jaw drops.

"Не знаю, как я выжил, но как-то очнулся в больнице," he responds. I don't know how I survived, but I woke up in a hospital somehow.

Y/n nods in understanding. The kids climb out of the car and stare at them. "Y/n," Robin begins in a whisper. "Wha-"

Y/n looks back at them with guilt in her eyes. "Um, everyone. This is... my half-brother." She lifts her sleeve to reveal a tattoo reading "003". "And I was one of the first experiments conducted at Hawkins Lab." She looks at Eleven. "She is also my half-sister."
