Picking up almost exactly where I left of in my other fanfiction, "Number Four." Please make sure you read that first!

'Cause it seems like that's your goal You push us past our limits just to watch decimals grow' - Melanie Martinez 000 first met Brenner when she was 3 years old and never left his side until she was 14. She met a boy called Henry who was just like her and from then on they were inseparable. Henry Creel/ Peter Ballard/ 001 X OC A/N: (Spoilers for The First Shadow) It doesn't directly follow but has got the main storyline as best as I could while adding OC.

When I met him, I fell in love with him. Hard. I was head over heels for him. I would do anything to be with him. He was the only boy I ever liked and I couldn't have it any other way. I don't know if he knew, but he owned my heart until his last breath.

The Stranger Things|Spin Off Ten years after Hawkins, the world has moved on. Everyone but Mike Wheeler. Old friends gather, laughter fills the night, but some spaces remain unspoken, some stories unfinished. One night, a choice, a journey, and the echoes of a girl who changed everything stir questions no one can answer. In The Spaces Between, the past lingers in quiet corners, the future waits beyond familiar streets, and what is missing might just be closer than anyone realizes. - A/N: This story is completely fictional and has absolutely no official connection to Stranger Things or the Duffer Brothers' universe. Everything you're about to read was created inside my imagination as a survival mechanism-because seriously, what in the Upside Down was that ending??? This is not canon, this is coping. This is me choosing to write instead of staring at the wall in silence, questioning my life choices, and replaying the final scene until it hurts. Consider this my unpaid therapy, my emotional repair project, and my attempt to give myself the closure I was very rudely denied. Read responsibly

Lorelai greeves finds herself stuck between time and space, for years, it had only felt like living the same day in this place. a place you've never walked into.

Hawkins Lab raised me to be quiet, compliant, and forgettable, and for years that's exactly what I became. After three years on the run, being brought back feels less like capture and more like fate catching up. Henry creel still walks these halls, carrying secrets of his own, and every flickering light feels like a warning. Nothing here is what it seems-not the experiments, not the people, and certainly not me. Some subjects survive by being seen. Others survive by being overlooked.

Hidden behind locked doors and iron rules, Henry Creel has spent his life inside Hawkins Lab - not by choice, but by design. Once the first child molded by Dr. Brenner's experiments, he grew into a silent protector for the generations of gifted children who came after him, bearing the weight of a life he never chose. He thought he understood the world: pain, obedience, isolation. Until Marlena Brenner, the daughter of the man who made him, returned to the lab - and changed everything. Where others saw a weapon, Marlena saw a man. She offered him kindness with no demands, love with no conditions. Slowly, Henry began to believe he could be something more than what the lab made him. Their stolen kisses, lingering touches, and tentative confessions grew into something fierce and real. But freedom always has a price. When a tragedy rips through the lab, taking Marlena's father and nearly Marlena herself, Henry is faced with the unimaginable terror of losing the only light in his dark world. As Marlena fights her way back from the brink, she refuses to rebuild what was broken. Instead, she dreams bigger: creating a place where gifted children can live without fear - a real home, filled with laughter, learning, and choice. A future Henry never dared to imagine. Now, surrounded by the children they vow to protect, Henry and Marlena must navigate first love, aching grief, and a healing neither of them thought possible. Together, they will build not just a sanctuary - but a family. A story of survival, redemption, and an extraordinary love born in the most unlikely of places, Brenners daughter is a heart-wrenching, breathtaking journey toward freedom, hope, and the simple, saving power of being seen.

She was always judging herself negatively and being independent. This caused her to yearn for attention and fall for the manipulations of Mr. Whatsit.
