Summary
Mike moves first- she hears him yell, strangled, screaming her name repeatedly, and every single one feels like a knife wound.
The pain is abominable- it’s worse than the time she’d had to rip part of the mind-flayers diseased flesh-creature right out from under her own skin on the floor of the Starcourt mall. Worse than anything Papa ever put her through. Worse than Henry’s unnatural force pinning her to walls, trees, vines, attempting to crack her bones, send her back to their maker.
She watches Will struggle and scream. Dustin actually wrenches himself free of the soldier holding him- but she’s impassive.
She is a soldier. A weapon.
She is ending the cycle.
She closes her eyes, and allows fate to take her.
Only-
It-
Doesn’t----
Through an unexpected twist of fate, El survives the end of the upside down.
But after several years of running (and learning to live along the way), she ends up back in Hawkins' orbit again- and just as things begin to look very bleak, fate intervenes again through the arrival of an unforeseen ally (one Dustin Henderson: college student, single-dorm-room-occupier, and excellent friend to those in peril).Series

Bookmark Notes:
The duffers lost custody of El as a character. This is what happened next.
Canon in my brain.
