Princess-marigold
Andrea Mitchell doesn't remember learning to walk.
She remembers learning to control electricity.
Raised in the sterile cruelty of Hawkins Lab, Andrea-Experiment 015-became a living power surge. Her abilities made her dangerous, so she was taught to be silent, obedient, invisible. The only bright spot was Eleven, the girl she grew up beside, the girl she protected, the girl she lost.
When Andrea escaped at twelve, her lightning-fueled panic nearly killed her. But Jim Hopper found her-shivering, sparking, and terrified-and didn't hesitate to keep her safe. Even when she accidentally shocked him.
Four years later, Andrea is sixteen, adopted, grounded, sarcastic, and still carrying the scars of her stolen childhood. She has friends she'd die for, a father she'd burn the world for, and a soft spot for a sharp-tongued band geek named Robin Buckley.
But the past is waking up.
The lab is stirring again.
And Eleven-the sister she swore she'd find-is still missing.
Andrea Mitchell is done running.
This time, she's bringing the lightning with her.
