Anastasia Petrovna was described as dangerous and deadly, she understood why of course, her powers made her that type of person, but really she was the sweetest person you could ever meet. Until around a year ago, she was in a lab in Hawkins, Indiana, but now she was hiding away in a cabin with the Jim Hopper and Eleven.

She woke up, quickly shaking Eleven awake when they heard footsteps heading to their door. Eleven grumbled, signaling that she was beginning to wake up as Anastasia quickly got herself ready, along with putting out El some clothes.

Jim Hopper walked towards the girls room, originally it was supposed to just be Eleven and him but when a mysterious girl just showed up outside his door he couldn't help but let her in. The brunette didn't recognize Anastasia, not when she was at the lab but she had heard of the deadly weapon Russia and now America had.

That deadly weapon was Anastasia Petrovna, a Russian experiment who was taken from Russia to Hawkins to continue to be experimented on.

Now she was a seventeen year old girl, hiding from the outside world. She remembered her first night in the cabin, she laid on the floor until Hopper walked into the room and Anastasia woke up on her bed, confused until she noticed the smile he gave her.

Ever since that night she called Jim Hopper 'Papa' since he had taken on that roll.

"El! Stasia! Get up!" Jim shouted, pounding on the door when it opened, revealing Anastasia who was smiling widely at him.

He returned the smile, looking past her shoulder to see Eleven still sleeping. Anastasia sat down at the small table, already seeing the eggos on the table for Eleven.

"Sleep well?" Hopper asked, sitting opposite her.

She nodded her head, "Good" eating her own eggo which Eleven had told her about, her face lighting up whenever Hopper made them.

"Have the rules changed yet?" Anastasia asked, hopeful, remembering the three rules he her when she first arrived.

Hopper glanced up at her, knowing that all she wanted to do was go outside for the first time properly, "Not yet, when it's safer."

She rolled her eyes, "дурацкие правила" as Hopper furrowed his eyebrows.

"You know I don't understand what you're saying right?" He questioned her, taking a sip of his orange juice.

"That is the point." Anastasia smiled sickly as she finished up her breakfast, Eleven still sleeping since they had a movie night last night.

Hopper finished soon after, "How's it going with your powers?" careful with the wording of his question since he knew that it was a sensitive topic, he had heard the screams and the way that the whole cabin would shake whenever she would get nightmares at night and how he had to hold her down one night when it got too much for her to handle.

It never happened often, but times that it would Hopper would feel his own eyes sting with tears as he thought of the girl as his own daughter, since the moment he invited her into his small little cabin of a home, him, Anastasia and Eleven became a small, comfortable family.

"I've gotten better," She answered, "Does this mean I can start school?"

He sighed for a moment, rubbing his hand over his head, "I'll think about it."

"Yes! Thank you Papa!" Anastasia exclaimed, jumping up and down, quickly hugging him as she went to change.

As soon as the bedroom door closed to her room, Hopper smiled at her, he had gotten used to her calling him Papa, they both knew they weren't biologically related but that certainly didn't mean she couldn't call him that.

Hopper had left hours ago, with Eleven now up just before he left and begging him to go trick or treating but he refused saying that it was to dangerous. Instead they made a compromise, he would bring them back sweets, letting them all watch movies.

"El, come on the movie is about to start!" Anastasia shouted over the younger girl who sighed and slumped down on the couch next to her.

Anastasia glanced over to her, seeing that she was in a fowl mood, "What's wrong?"

"He's late" Eleven grumbled from her spot on the couch fiddling with her hands.

"Papa will call, you know he will," Anastasia started to reassure, "He'll be back before we know it."

Eleven nodded her head, trying to smile as she focused back on black and white movie playing on the small television in the room. Soon enough, Anastasia fell asleep and Eleven decided to take the television into their room and practice seeing Mike Wheeler.
