Chapter Text
When Billy woke up from the Byers floor, he was pissed off, he got up a little wobbly and went to the window, his car was gone.
He growled in frustration, he takes out a cigarette and lights it up, then goes outside and just waits. When max and her little gang get back, he is going to tear her a new one.
In a hour they're back and Billy marches straight up to them. First he goes to Max. "Give me my keys, you little fuck." He growls. She glares but takes the keys out of her pocket and gives it to him. Billy snatches it out of her hand.
"You can fucking walk to the arcade, fucking injecting me with whatever the hell that was, I could of been allergic!" Steve steps between them. "Dude calm down-"
"Shut the fuck up Harrington. Max get in the car, we're going home." But Max doesn't budge. "Fuck you, I'm staying with Steve."
"You little-you know what, Fine. Fucking hate you."
"Feeling is mutatal asshole." Billy growls and turns back to steve. "If there's any dents in my car, you're paying for it." With that Billy goes to his car and drives off.
____________
As Billy was driving, He kept on thinking how Max was such an annoying little shit and how she got him in so much trouble.
Then thought about how Steve lied straight to his face about his sister. Now Billy did think a little bit more and thought even if Steve did lied to him, he didn't deserve to get his face beat in.
That was fucked up, he needs to control his anger better.
Billy doesn't really want to go home and face his father's wrath, so he's just going to hang out for a while until he was ready. Billy pulls over and parks his car near the woods.
He opens his glove compartment and takes out a can of beer that he saved, he opens it and takes a sip. He sighs and takes out another cigarette. "Fuckn red hair brat and her stupid band of freaks." The boy mumbles as he lights up the cigarette and puts it in his mouth.
Billy sits in his car, drinks and smokes for a least an hour, he was a little buzzed. So he'll have to wait until he can drive.
Just then he hears some rustling in the bushes, Billy doesn't think anything of it at first but soon he keeps hearing it. Must be a deer or a squirrel Billy thought.
Then he sees the bushes move and something comes out of it. When he gets a glimpses, Billy still thinks it's some kind of deer, but it poked its head out of the bushes and it wasn't a deer. The head looked like a closed up tulip and was growling at Billy.
"Shit."
Billy starts his car, but the sound made the creature's head bloom open and hiss, then it ran towards the car. Billy tries to move the car quick, but the thing got on the vehicle. Billy starts driving to get it off.
This things has a strong grip and Billy couldn't see where he was going, the car was swerving all over the place.
Billy tries to get the thing off by going faster, but he ends up crashing into a telephone pole. Glass breaks, the car alarm goes off and he nearly bangs his head on the windshield.
Billy groans in pain, he's bruised and bleeding, he gets out the car and spits up some blood, he feels like he's about to collapse and he was until he heard growling again.
He looks behind him and sees the thing across the road and Billy starts running. The creature starts going after him.
Billy tries to out run it, but that thing is fast and is catching up to him. It gets close enough to Billy's ankles and bites it. "FUCK!" He shouts.
Billy trips and the monster gets on top of him. Billy growls and punches it off of him. Billy gets back up and runs, but this time a little slower because of his injured ankle.
The boy runs in the forest with the thing still coming from him, Billy looks back to see how close the monster is. That was a big mistake.
Since he was so busy looking back, he didn't see a tree up head and he ran into it. He hisses in pain and falls to the grown. The boy passes out.
While he lays on the grown the monster is back near him again. It sniffs Billy and then takes his ankle into it's mouth and starts dragging him.
It drags him to a certain tree, with a hole in it, big enough for them to go in. It goes in and drags Billy inside.
Once they're all the way in the different dimension, it keeps dragging Billy to spot where there are some bones, both human and animal. The thing opens it mouth ready to devour the boy but suddenly a loud bangs goes through air and the monster is shot in the head.
It falls to the ground, it twitches and its shot again.
The noise makes Billy open his eyes a little and sees two pair of feet in front of him. He looks up and sees helmets of hazmat suits.
"Hey son, you okay?" One of them ask in a muffled voice. Billy only groans and passes out.
"We better get him out of here." They put away their guns and one picks Billy up bridal style, they start walking to find their way out.

When Billy wakes up the first thing he sees is glass and behind that glass is some kind of weird room.
Then he notices he's in a small space, he starts to panic. Billy raises his hand and punches the glass, he keeps punching, then starts screaming and kicking.
He keeps punching and kicking until the door to whatever he's in actually comes loose. Billy moves the door and gets out.
He's surrounded by chamber like pods and their filled with different types of people. Billy notices that his hair has been cut short.
Not too short, but it's not at his shoulders anymore and finally he notices he’s naked.
"What the fuck." He whispers to himself. Billy sees a door and goes over to it. Billy hesitates at first but finds the courage to open the door.
When he looks outside, he just sees a clean white hallway. Billy keeps looking around but sees no one. He steps out the room and checks one more time before he starts to walk.
He keeps walking until he hears voices of people. He follows the voices and goes to a certain door with a small window. There he sees people in hazmat suits operating on something on a table and when he's sees what's on that table, his eyes go wide.
It's the same thing that attacked him.
Billy was staring for so long that he didn't notice that someone caught him staring. The door open suddenly from being pulled open and he almost falls.
The people in the suits surround him.
One of them approaches Billy. "How did you wake-ohhf!" Billy kicks them in the groin. Then gets him into a headlock. “Where the fuck I’m I and who are you people?”
A women approaches him. “Sir please calm down, you’re safe here.”
“Calm down? I wake up in some kind pod, fine myself naked, my hair cut short and you want me to calm down?”
“Sir I know you want an explanation but, please let him go before I call security and I guarantee you won’t like that.” Billy glares but let’s the guy go. “Now where am I?”
“You’re in the L.A. science facility.” Billy was confused, how the hell did he get to L.A. he always wanted to go back to California but not like this.
“How did I get here and what is that?” He says while pointing to the monster on examination table. “Some creature we found in the same dimension we found you in. We were running some test in that place and we found you, then took you back with us.”
Billy looked at her as if she was crazy. “What?” How could there be other dimensions, he’s heard theories about it, but he didn’t think that one existing could be real. Billy takes a moment to process this before sighing.
“How did I get into another dimension?”
“The creature must of dragged you in there while you were unconscious, the back of your clothes were covered in dirt, like you’ve been dragged through the ground.”
Billy runs a hand through his now short hair, trying to figure out if he was dreaming or not, but apparently not, because for some reason he was believing this woman, even if what she was saying did sound crazy.
“I can’t believe this is happening.” Billy mumbles. “You think I can have a shower and some clothes, also how long was I in that pod.”
“It’s called a cryo chamber.”
“Whatever, how long?”
“About a month.” a fucking month, wow. This day just keeps getting crazier and crazier. “After I take a shower can I...go outside?” The women nods. “If you’re ready.”
____________
In a hour he took a shower and that Science crew, brought him some fresh new clothes. A beige jacket with a fur collar, jeans, white sneakers and a T-shirt.
Once he was dressed, the women from earlier met him outside in the hallway. She was out of the hazmat suit and in a white lab coat, black dress, heels and her hair was short, curly and brunette.
“I’m Jennifer Taylor, if you have any questions, you can ask me, Mr.Hargrove.”
“How do you know my last name?”
“We found your wallet on you and your ID was in it, now follow me.” They walked down the hallway and turned the corner. As they were walking, Billy sees a big window up ahead.
He’s going to look out of it to see if he was really in L.A.
when they got in front of it, Billy freezes when he sees the outside. Outside he sees things that you would see in some kind of sci-fi movie, but more Advanced.
He sees flying cars, holograms promoting advertisements, building lighten up really brightly and almost every building has huge screens promoting more advertisements, he even saw a train flying.
“Where the fuck am I?”
“L.A. the year is 2049.”
