BY THE TIME the four got back to the cabin, it was nighttime. Six had hidden away into Ben hours ago in boredom.

When the three stood in front of the cabin they could see Hopper smoking a cigarette in the dark, all of them knew they were in trouble, but El will probably take most of the heat because of Hopper knowing Five only tagged along in stuff to protect the younger ones and Levi just follows El blindly.

Eleven walks past the boys, into the cabin, ignoring Hopper.

Five walked up the small stairs with Levi tensely following behind, turning to the older man with his head held high, but the slight tremble in his voice showed his fear as Five spoke. “I’m sorry, sir.”

From behind the boy, Levi looked up with teary eyes, squeezing Ben tightly as he heard reassuring words being spoken by Six in his head.

Hopper looked between the two boys, feeling his heart clench in sadness but still feeling anger boiling in his veins. Hopper gestured to the door, making the two boys walk into the cabin wordlessly, flinching as Hopper walked in after them slamming the door behind.

Levi subconsciously grabbed onto Five’s hand, the boy squeezed back in comfort, sending a soft smile towards the blue-eyed boy.

“Go to your room,” Hopper grumbled as he made his way towards El’s room.

The two boys did as said, knowing they both were grounded. Levi sat on his bed, staring into space, flinching as he hears Eleven’s and Hopper’s shouts. Five closed the door, leaning his head against the door, taking a deep breath before turning to Twelve.

Five sighed, plopping himself next to the boy. The two boys sit in silence, sharing a look as they hear loud banging followed by Jim’s shouting.

Levi whimpered as he heard El’s door slam, shaking their room slightly, followed by El’s sobbing and a loud scream that caused all the windows in the cabin to shatter.

Twelve looked at the boy next to him in fear, Five pushed his fear down, smiling at the boy. Five lied on the bed, opening his arms. Levi let out a sob, climbing into the boy's arms. Levi laid his head on the boy's chest, sobbing into it as Five grabbed the blanket, putting it over them, grabbing Ben and putting the plush beside Levi and pulling Twelve closer, kissing the boy's forehead with a sigh.

It was the next morning and the three were cleaning up the mess El made last night.

When Levi and Five woke up, they were surprised when they walked out of their room, seeing broken glass all over the floor, the tall bookshelf toppled over all the books, board games, and movies spread out on the ground as well as Hopper nailing boards to the glassless windows.

But right now, Hopper had left minutes ago, and Five and Levi were picking up and placing everything back onto the bookshelf that El used her powers to pick up as the girl was sweeping up the glass.

Five handed Levi a few books as the blue-eyed boy put them on the shelves when they turned to Eleven as she called out for them.

The boys share a look, before walking over, seeing her standing still, by a chair that the two noticed was moved, the girl looking down at the ground.

"What, El?" Five asked.

Eleven nodded her head towards the ground, the boys look where the chair was, seeing a hatch in the floorboard. El shoved the broom into Five's hands, grabbing a flashlight and getting down on the ground opening the hatch and hangs down under the floor while Six and Levi glance at each other.

"You okay, down there?" Five asked impatiently.

"Just...wait." they heard El mumbled before the boys look at the girl confused as she whispered "Sarah…"

A few seconds later El pops up, sliding a box with the name Hawkins Lab written on it. Levi rushes to help the girl out of the hole as she struggles, grunting.

"What is that?" Five and Six say at the same time causing Six to look at the boy weirdly but knowing Five couldn’t see or hear him.

El glared up at Five, "Does it look like I know?"

Levi stifles a laugh, all the kids sit in a circle around the box as El slowly opened it, picking up the first file.

“Um...Five?” El trailed off confused, looking over the folder in her hands with the name ‘Jones’ on it.

Five leans forwards with furrowed eyebrows in curiosity. “What?”

Eleven handed the file to the older boy as Levi reads over the boy's shoulder. Five looked at the picture of a lady with short black hair and a gorgeous smile looking at the camera remembering his life before the lab.

“Mom…” Five whispered, looking over the page, his heart beating rapidly.

Five looked at the dates on the page seeing her death date, just days before he was taken to the lab, remembering the day clearly. Turning the page, his breath hitches as he sees a picture of himself but younger, in a hospital gown, the page showing all his information.

“Felix…” the green-eyed boy mumbles, looking at the name on the top of the page. It has been so long since he’s heard that name, he almost forgot he had a normal life.

“Who?” Levi whispered, messing with other papers from the box while glancing at his best friend.

“Me. My name...is Felix.”

Sometime later, El was sitting on the couch, the boys seated on the floor.

Well, Five lied on the floor looking at his mother's picture as Levi looked through the worthless papers scattered around them about the lab. El picked up one red file, mumbling, "Ives, Terry."

Levi stands up and circles around the couch, leaning on it peering over the girl's shoulder as she opens it.

' INDIANA WOMAN SUES D.O.E. CLAIMS HER TWO CHILDREN WERE STOLEN.'

Levi furrowed his brows, reading the big letters in a newspaper article right on top, looking towards the bottom of the paper seeing a beautiful woman with long hair in a small picture who the boy guessed was Terry Ives.

Five or Felix, moved the box next to El, sitting next to the girl, looking back at the boy, nodding his head. Levi moved, seating in between Five's legs with his back against the boy's chest, reading the next page as El turns it letting all four of them see as Six stood behind them.

' TWINS, JANE AND JASPER, TAKEN WHEN THEY WERE JUST BABIES, IVES CLAIMS. '

El and Levi glance at each other after reading, both whispering.

"Jane."

"Jasper."

Felix looks at the page, scooting Levi while reaching over El, "What's this?" Five pulls a falling picture from behind a paper handing it to El.

Levi and El look at the picture, seeing Terry Ives and a younger-looking Dr. Brenner walking side by side.

"Papa," Levi whispered, clutching Ben while sharing a look with El and Five.

Eleven looks at the T.V, Hopper had ripped the wires causing it not to work. She then glanced at the radio on the bookshelves with determination in her eyes.

Eleven looked at Five in a silent plea.

Five rolled his eyes nodding. "Go ahead, it's not like you'll listen to me," he mumbled with a hint of amusement from yesterday's events.

El walked, grabbing the radio, fiddling with it, sitting on the ground. Five takes his tie off from around his neck and hands it to El who takes it and ties it around her head as a blindfold, listening to the static coming from the small radio, holding onto the photo.

Six jumps over the couch, taking a seat next to Five, who shivers as coldness covered side, not thinking anything of it.

Five and Levi share a look of uncertainty as Eleven’s breathing becomes heavier before they hear a muffled woman's voice through the radio, mumbling.

“Three to the right. Four to the left. Four-fifty…Jane. Where is… Jasper?”

Five looked towards the boy next to the girl with a knowing glance.

“Mama?” El whispered, causing Levi to grow worried as El begins crying out for this Mama.

Levi pulled the girl into his arms, letting the girl sob into his chest as he gently takes off the tie. Twelve started to run his fingers through the girl's curls, trying to calm the girl down and ignore his thoughts as Five and Six watched on feeling two completely different emotions flood their bodies.
