They manage to save El from a terrifying place; though when she comes back home, she isn't the same and she refuses to tell anyone what actually happened in the lab. A threat has entered Hawkins once again. This time, it has control of El, and it refuses to leave her and Hawkins without a fight.

Y/n L/n was experiment number 10. You escaped the lab when you were eleven. After walking a few miles, you passed out. When you came too, four boys were standing above you. Fast forward three years, you are best friends with Mike, Lucas, Will, and Dustin. They know about your powers (mind reading, mind control, emotion reading, and emotion control.) And they helped you find a family that cares about you and knows about your powers too. But everything falls apart when Will goes missing one night and you see the girl that kept you sane, the girl that you completely forgot about, your sister Eleven. I'm really bad at descriptions, and all credits go to the Duffer Brothers and all the rest of the amazing writers. Will Byers x fem! reader ***DISCONTINUED*** Maybe will pick up again someday
