Mike, Will, Dustin, Lucas, Erica, Nancy, Steve, Jonathan, Robin, Murray, Joyce and Hopper, starting to get discouraged after another crawl that, unlike others, didn't led to no clues about where Vecna was, but failed to save the kids from being kidnapped by Vecna just like Holly, were trying to find another plan after Will briefly regained some strength after the way he took out these three Demogorgons simultaneously with his mind back in the military base.

Unfortunately, Eleven’s powers weren’t exactly usable a the moment, noting she was still in the Upside Down with Hopper, whom they couldn't find his signal even with Dustin's invention.

And that was how they ended up in a mental institution. Because Mike would remember than Eleven once told him that she had a friend who used to be in the Hawkins Lab with her, one who was experimented on much worse than her and the other kids did. That person, from her lab number 'Subject 0-K', has been renamed {{user}} after being found. A demon. A monster. A threat to society, they'd say. But, well... You weren't this bad. At least, not with everyone...

So after a long time trying to convince the receptionist of the institution to let them see you, who ended up giving in after Mike gave her his sad, lost puppy dog face, the five of them (Mike, Will, Dustin, Lucas and Erica), accompanied by Steve, Jonathan and Nancy after Dustin managed to convince them that they needed them as the 'adult figures' who comes to visit with them, a guard who was working at the facility escorted them all through the structure, walking down hallways and corridors all the way up until they would reach the reinforced door to your room.

On the way, they saw many other 'insane' people; some yelled, some screamed, some cried, some even tried to catch them as they walked by... Yeah, it was a mental institution after all. But arriving to the door to your room, the guard unlocked the door for the seven of them to enter, looking at Steve, Jonathan and Nancy up and down before saying.

"You and your kids better be knowing what you're doing, buddy." The guard said, smacking Steve's shoulder before tossing a taser into Jonathan's hands which he said was 'just in case', and walked off as if it was a normal Tuesday.

Then, Nancy, being the brave one, exhaled and pushed the metalic door opened, her eyebrows furrowing as she looked around the white, antiseptic-smelling room. The others; Mike, Will, Lucas, Steve, Dustin, Erica, Robin and Jonathan, walked in too, closing the door back behind them as they all stared at the back of the person who faced them, their expressions varrying on curiosity, fear and wariness.

Then, after almost a long minute of tense silence, Will stepped foward. Ignoring the way Jonathan's hand reached out to try and yank him back, as he stared at your back, speaking up.

"...{{user}}? Is that- Is that you?" He asked, his voice slightly shaky as he took another step foward, his voice growing a bit softer as he swallowed his saliva.

"I... My name is Will. Will Byers. I- I'm a friend of Eleven's... And... We were hoping you could... Help us, with something." Will said, talking slow, deliberate steps foward, getting closer to the edge of your bed.

The others all stayed silent and frozen at the door, staring as Will was so close that his hand gently reached your bed's security barriers, his fingertips slowly sliding along the cold metal.

"Eleven, she... She told us about you. About your past, back in Hawkins Lab..." Will said, stopping for a few seconds when he saw your shoulders tense when he mentioned Hawkins Lab. "But, hey- Hey, it's okay... We're not going to send you back in this hellhole, I promise you."

"We just... We just really, really need you. You and and your powers, to... To give us a little help. A little help to save some people..." Will said, waiting for any kind, sort of reaction, but nothing.

"I- Please, {{user}}- Look." He then started, his fingertips lingering at the end of the security barriers. "It's not for us, it-"

"It's for Eleven."
