It had just turned December first and already Luca had gone absolutely crazy with the Christmas decorations. The yard was decorated, the roof was decorated, there were blow up decorations and heavy decorations. There were decorations in the hallway, the big family room, the living room, up the railings of the stairs, even in the upstairs of the house with other statues and ornaments placed everywhere. There were even some in the kitchen and in the bathroom. With it being Katie's first Christmas, he was excited and he didn't want Fallon worrying about it now that she was pregnant and soon they would be leaving for their scan.

Luca was climbing down the ladder with a hammer in his hand when he saw Fallon and Katie arrive home from the store, which reminded him he needed to head to the hardware store on the way back. "Hey beautiful, so what do you think?" @ofmymanymuses

Underneath The Tree – Joe Keery

The only thing worse than being alone for Christmas was being alone and sick for Christmas. I pulled the blanket up closer to my chin as Jimmy Fallon introduced his next guest, Joe Keery.

Joe and I have known each other for several years. We met when he was filming Free Guy. I worked in the Starbucks cafe Amazon had on set. It started with Joe stopping by every couple of days. He then started stopping by every morning. This turned into him coming in every morning and before he left every day.

After months of him stopping by, he finally asked me on a date. We dated on the DL because we weren't sure how his director would react to us dating. We've been official ever since Free Guy came out. Six months ago, Joe and I decided to move in together. We thought it would help our relationship since Joe's always gone for work.

I smiled, ignoring the fever as I watched Jimmy interview my man. He was a natural. He answered Jimmy's questions while being respectful and funny. He was perfect. It's no wonder girls all over the world were in love with my boyfriend.

"So, tell me how things are going with Y/N," Jimmy said, shifting the conversation to Joe's personal life. "Still going strong?"

"Of course," Joe chuckled.

Behind his professional actor smile, I could see a slight blush building. He never minded talking about his job, but he was hesitant to talk about me and our relationship. He didn't want to accidentally share too much. The last thing he wanted was to share information about us that made me uncomfortable.

"Come on, Joe," Jimmy teased. "Give us some details. You two have been dating for, what? Two years?"

"About a year and a half," Joe corrected politely.

"And?" Jimmy elongated.

"And things are going great," Joe chuckled. "Y/N is amazing and she makes me incredibly happy."

"That's wonderful," Jimmy cooed. "You two live together, right?"

"Yep," he said shifting in his seat. This conversation tended to make him a little uncomfortable. Some people thought moving in after one year was too soon. We received some backlash when it leaked. Ever since then, Joe's hated interviewers talking about our living situation.

"Once we got to the one-year mark, we decided to move in together," he continued. He quickly added, "I'm gone a lot for work and we would sometimes go weeks without seeing each other. We figured that moving in together would allow us to see each other more."

"Has it?"

"It has," Joe said, relaxing. "I get to see her every day I'm home. She's the first thing I see when I wake up and the last thing I see when I go to bed. It's perfect."

"Well," Jimmy chuckled, "it sounds like the two of you are really in love."

"We are," Joe said. My breath got caught in my throat when he looked at the camera and smiled.

I don't know who the musical guest was. I fell asleep after Joe finished his interview. I woke up about an hour later to my phone ringing. Without getting up, I grabbed it off the coffee table and answered it.

"Merry Christmas Eve Eve, Joe."

"Crap," Joe said into the phone.

"Hello to you too," I chuckled as I slowly sat up.

"I didn't mean to wake you up, baby," he sighed. "I'm sorry."

"It's okay," I said as I slowly sat up. The movement of me sitting up sent me into a coughing attack. I pulled the phone away from my ear and tried to cover it. When I finally calmed down, I put the phone back to my ear.

"Are you okay, Y/N?" Joe asked.

"I'm fine," I brushed off.

"I'm so sorry," he sighed.

"What for, baby?"

"For not being there," he sighed again.

"Joe," I tried to interrupt him.

"I should be there," he continued. "I should be there to take care of you. To make you soup. To draw you a hot bath. To get you water when you go into one of your coughing attacks. To hold you as you fall asleep. To take care of you."

"You had to go to New York," I said, making sure to sound as strong as I could. "You had an interview. It was a plus side that you're family is spending Christmas in New York. Besides, you'll be home after the holidays."

"I know, but. . ."

"Please, don't do this, Joe," I sighed, a small cough getting caught in my throat.

"But. . ."

"No," I said firmer. "Joe, you know how much I love you. You haven't seen your family since before we moved in together. They were taking that trip to New York at the same time as your interview. It was perfect. You got the interview done and now you're spending Christmas with your family. And don't forget that we talked about this."

"That was before you got sick," he whispered.

"I'll be fine," I said slowly, mainly because it hurt to breathe, but also to make sure he heard me. "I'll spend Christmas Eve and Christmas Day watching classic Christmas movies. You know my tradition of watching White Christmas on Christmas Eve. I can't skip that just because I'm sick."

"I wish you weren't doing that alone," he said, slightly speaking up.

"Well, it's not your fault my dad spends the holidays with his real family," I shrugged.

"Does your dad even know you're sick?" He asked.

"I called him," I sighed. "His wife sent me a care package."

"That was nice of her."

"Yeah," I scoffed. "The only reason she sent it was because she's 'trying' to show I'm a part of their family."

"At least she's trying," he offered.

"It would mean more if it was coming from him," I whispered.

"I know," Joe sighed. "I'm sorry, baby. I should've brought you with me to New York."

"Then your poor family would be stuck taking care of me," I chuckled.

"And they would happily do it," he said instantly. "Even my mom would rather have you here with us instead of alone."

I tried to avoid it, but sighing sent me into another coughing attack. Through my coughing, I could barely hear Joe sighing. For a second, it sounded like he was talking to someone.

"Baby?" He said, his voice coming out clearer. "You okay?"

"I'm fine," my voice horse from coughing.

"Get some water. Do you have some water?" He asked quickly.

"I do," I said, my voice slowly returning. I grabbed the water bottle I had next to me and took a large drink. I stopped drinking when I heard Joe talking to someone, maybe his mother.

"Everything okay?" I asked.

"Yeah," Joe said, sounding a little strange. "My mom just asked how you were feeling."

"Oh," I said softly. I cleared my throat, trying to get rid of the sudden guilt. "How's your family?"

"They're good," he said, still sounding strange. "They miss you. I miss you."

"I miss you too, baby." I paused before adding, "You'll be back before New Year's, right?"

"Yes," he said quickly. "My flight is on the 30th."

"Perfect," I said, no longer able to hide how tired I was.

"You should get some sleep," Joe said softly. "I'll call you tomorrow."

"Sounds good."

"Y/N?"

"Yes?"

"I love you, baby."

"I love you too, Joe."

* * * * *

After my call with Joe last night, I fell asleep on the couch instead of our bed. I half-woke up when I felt someone gently move some hair out of my face. My eyes started to open but fully shot open when I saw who it was.

"Joe!" I gasped. I would've jumped into his arms if the excitement hadn't sent me into a coughing attack.

"Hello to you, too," he teased. He chuckled when I pouted. "What's with the face, Pout-pout Fish?"

"I want to kiss you," I said sadly. "But I'm sick."

"How about we do something else?"

"Joe," I sighed, laying back into the couch. "If we can't kiss, we definitely can't do that."

"I wasn't talking about that," Joe laughed. "And we don't have to kiss to do it."

"That may be true," I smiled, "but I'm still too weak."

"That's a different issue. One that can't be fixed or avoided," he chuckled. "Anyway, I meant this."

I smiled as Joe carefully crawled over me until he was lying behind me. I closed my eyes as I focused on the feeling of being wrapped in his arms. He reached over and grabbed the remote.

"What are you doing?" I mumbled.

"Putting on White Christmas," he said as he put the remote on the nearest side table. "Duh."

Joe wrapped his arm around my waist and I instantly draped my arm over his. Joe kissed my temple before relaxing behind me.

"I love you," I whispered.

"I love you too, baby. Merry Christmas, Y/N."

"Merry Christmas, Joe."

Purpose and family (Tom Hiddleston, X reader wife, kids and Loki cast one shot)

18+ blog: It is YOUR responsibility, as a reader, to think about the content that you consume at your own discretion. 

~

A/N:  I took some inspiration from Tom's recent interview on Jimmy Fallon's Tonight show in the end for the title and a little bit of the dialogue from it as well as the behind the scenes dialogue too. So I hope you all enjoy it. 

Thank you to anonymous for sending this prompt and waiting so patiently for it. I enjoyed writing the balance between family life, work family and the fluffiness with the hint of smuttiness too. Also your full ask was very sweet and I thank you for your support of my work ❤️ x

Also for those who don't live in the Uk half term is when you have a small breaks in the school year. Just in case you didn't know that.

(Reminder prompt requests are closed at the moment. Keep checking either the bio to this collection or my profile for when I will be taking them again)

Prompt requested by Anonymous on Tumblr: I wanted to submit a request after seeing your lovely tom hiddleston fic where he and reader are married and have lots of kids so his cast members tease him about it on the documentery tapes and his kids also play some role in the series/movies.

If u r comfortwble can u pls include some fluffy smut and some teasing about making another by tom

Summary: Tom and the cast of Loki give the fans a tour of the sets and talk about their time on the show whilst having a lot of fun. Most of the time his co-stars tease him about the way he messes around onset and the way he acts around his kids when they come to visit him while onset over half term. When filming is all done Tom comes home just in time for dinner and later he tells you that he's been thinking a lot about having another kid.

Warnings: Oral sex female receiving, teasing and smut (mild)

------------------------------

"Hello, I'm Tom Hiddleston and this is the magnificent Ke Huy Quan!" Tom says excitedly as he introduced Ke to the camera and puts his arm around him.

"No, you're magnificent!" Ke says, causing both men to laugh and joke around as if they have known each other for years before working on the Loki series together.

"We're here in Ouroboros or OB's workshop set here in the TVA and we invite you to come and take a look around with us!" Tom says to the camera once they have collected themselves again, as they both extend their free arms out in gesture to the set around them.

The camera then proceeds to follow the pair around as they start to do a tour around Ouroboros' workshop. The set itself is jam packed with many busted up bits of TVA technology, many scrap pieces of random metal objects and OB's tools. Yet everything in the chaos of the mess is really where OB knows exactly where things are, or rather an organised chaotic mess, that's all confined behind a yellow help desk. Whereas the desk itself is littered with your typical office supplies and retro orange computer and telephone that sits in its cradle on the opposite side. There are even little cubby spaces behind the desk that are only briefly seen and houses many of the objects that could be missed on screen, unless someone goes looking that closely like many do for any hidden easter eggs. Also there's a vast network of tubes that are fixed at various points in the ceiling, and are all interlinked into one bigger tub that comes down the centre, at the back of the set. Which is the fastest way for the TVA agents to get their Tempads or other devices sent to OB to be fixed quickly than traveling down to the floor itself. 

Whilst the camera follows Tom and Ke showing off the set they seem to act like children on Christmas Day, as they continue to laugh and become delighted about showing off the tiniest details on set. Some details which they explain that you might miss on screen, but the objects are still there nonetheless. Also in between the two talking about this particular set from the audience's perspective they will see cuts to certain images from a few scenes of the show to see how it all looks in the final cut.

"What's your favourite part of this particular set?" Tom asks Ke after they give the tour around, as they lean against the front of the big yellow desk, while Tom has his arms crossed and relaxes himself.

"Oh my goodness, that's such a difficult question! Every set is beautiful and it's been such an honour to be here....to work everyday has been loads of fun with such an incredible cast and crew! Everyone has been so welcoming to me into the Loki family...into the MCU family, everything has truly been an amazing experience." Ke's enthusiasm was very infectious and his smile seemed to catch on too.

Tom and Ke continued to interview each other for a while longer before the camera transitions into Sophia and Wunmi being interviewed separately by someone off camera. In both interviews they talk about the wholesome atmosphere onset and about what they're hoping the fans will get out of the new season. Of course they both then go on to mention Tom after briefly discussing other cast members, after all without Tom and the fans there wouldn't be a show at all.

"Tom is really great...he's always honest and hilarious. You always find your cheeks hurting from laughing so much." Wunmi says in her interview before the cross over to Sophia.

"Working with Tom is like being a kid again. He's always getting everyone to play games and messing around onset...it also reflects in the energy he brings to Loki. Even when his kids came onto set for a few days during their half term, honestly they had so much the fun...the way he would involve them in the games too, also when you see Loki mimicking the inflatable man in the show, it was amusing to see him with his kids do it too behind the scenes. They really do take after him." While Sophia fondly spoke, clips of the cast playing games and Tom with your kids while mimicking the inflatable man came onto the screen while you stand nearby laughing, it all brings her words to life for the audience watching.

After a compilation of the cast hugging Tom and other behind the scene clips, with parts of different interviews over-layered or inserted in between, interviews mostly about the cast talking about Tom and teasing him. Then the screen transitions over to Owen and Tom being interviewed together. The pair sit comfortably in their chairs as they are interviewed by someone off camera like most interviews. Similarly to the first season behind the scenes they went off on a tangent and it clearly showed they have great offset chemistry still. The last part of the interview focuses on the show's purpose and family.

"Tom is a family man even though we all tease him about how crazy he and his kids can get, but it's very sweet too." Owen says with a kind gentleness, as Tom's cheeks heat up and he chuckles from hearing those words. "Personally I think his other half, Y/N, she's lucky to have a guy like him." He added and felt Tom's hand squeeze his shoulder in a gesture of thanks.

"Yeah, everyone does tend to tease me about it and the fact I can still act like a child myself...but I think when playing someone like Loki it requires that playfulness...that mischievous side of yourself to have fun and Loki has had a lot of fun with his tricks for the time I've been playing him. Although that's what this show is about finding meaning, your identity, your purpose in life...but also it's about family which is exactly what Loki has always been about." Tom says, speaking passionately and fondly of his time playing Loki. 

------------------------------

"Daddy!" Your kids yell in unison, as they rush towards Tom as soon as the front door of the house opens, Bobby closely following behind them. He was finally back home.

"My darlings!" Tom says cheerily, as he crouches down on his heels with his arms open wide and his little ones rushed right into his waiting arms, also he kisses their cheeks in turn. The three of them hug tightly as Bobby bounces around with his tail wagging like mad, but he barks when he doesn't receive any attention right away, causing Tom to chuckle. "Hey Bobbers, I’ve missed you too!" He adds with laughter in his voice as he frees a hand and pats his faithful furry companion.

"Hey." You say softly after emerging out of the kitchen and into the hallway. A smile appears on your lips as Tom smiles up at you before he stands back up to his full height. Both of you then slowly meet half way in the hallway, he takes you into his arms as soon as you're in reach and softly kisses you.

"Ew!" Your son says, causing you and Tom to chuckle and break away from the kiss.

"What? You've seen Daddy kiss Mummy before." Tom says, as he keeps one arm wrapped around your waist as he addresses your son, although your son just crunches up his face in disgust and you both can't help but laugh again. 

"He's a baby." Your daughter says cheekily and your son sticks his tongue out at her for teasing him.

"Yeah well Daddy wanted to show Mummy some love too, alright?" Tom said with still hints of laughter in his voice and you tightly held onto him back.

"Mummy missed Daddy too, you know." Your voice matched Tom's as you spoke to your kids, but you loved how they interacted with each other, you could defiantly see what everyone sees and that's how much they're like Tom. 

After you all welcomed Tom home he then let Bobby out back before you all settled down at the dining table for dinner. Despite you and your little ones visiting Tom over their half term break nothing could beat this moment here and now. You seemed to zone out while watching your family having dinner while talking and laughing amongst themselves, it felt wonderful to have everyone together like this again, a feeling you always enjoyed whenever spending time together.

"Is everything alright, love?" Tom asks softly a few moments later, after he freed up his right hand and placed it on top of yours, caressing yours with his thumb gently bringing you out of your thoughts.

"Humm...yeah-yeah, everything is more than alright." You reassured him as you focused on his beautiful eyes.

"Sure?" He had to ask again. He's always felt the need to ever since you started dating years ago. He's also always been very protective of you, especially how badly relationships have been in the past for both of you, in different ways sure yet you've both experienced similarities all the same too. Of course his protectiveness had expanded when you both had children together, which showed more whenever they accidentally fell down or hurt themselves in any way.

"Promise." You replied before leaning towards him and pecking him on the lips, earning another noise of disgust from your son. "Hey you...eat your dinner." You playfully chastised your son.

"Don't forget to eat your peas now, otherwise no dessert." Tom adds in the same playful way, making your son shake his head as if he's actually been denied dessert, the very same look you've seen on Tom's face before too when denied dessert.

"Eat up then." You encouraged and that's exactly what your son did.

"You too, princess." Tom says with a gentle warning, as he catches your daughter sliding peas off her plate and feeding them to Bobby who's sat beside her. With that gentle warning she put her plate back down on the table and continued to eat all her dinner like her brother. Neither wanted to miss out on dessert.

Much later when your kids are tucked up in bed with Bobby staying in their shared room for the night you and Tom had gotten yourselves ready for bed too. Whilst you brush your teeth Tom was sitting in bed comfortably as he made a start on a new chapter of his current book. He was so engrossed in it that he hadn't realised you were coming back into the room. 

"You always look so good with glasses on." You teased, as you climbed into bed next to him before kissing his cheek, making his cheeks heat up and a chuckle to escape his lips as he turned his attention towards you instead.

"And you always look good in my clothes." He says playfully, after noticing you decided to wear a pair of his joggers and one of his t shirts for bed. 

He quickly marks his page and puts the book on the bedside table before he grabs you by your waist and pulls you closer towards him. You don't hesitate another second, your lips touch his lovingly and sweetly, as your hands come up to hold his face gently. This time you could enjoy the kiss instead of being interrupted, it was a nice feeling, especially as he returned your kiss in kind. When your lips parted neither of you could stop smiling for no real reason at all. Just being together in this moment felt like no time had been spent apart, and your love for each other is as strong as ever, if not more so. Although it didn't take long before you began making out as if you were teenagers again and hands began to wander over each other's bodies. 

"Then again...you look just as good when they're on the floor too." Tom says sultry, with that suggestive smirk on his lips, while he strokes your hair softly and this time you're the one with reddened cheeks. 

However a few months ago you were self-conscious about still having some extra weight on your body after having two kids. Tom had eased your worries though, he's great like that because he still loves you and praises your body no matter how you thought you looked. To say he adores you is an understatement. You often even ask how come you got so lucky to have someone like him in your life and love you so much for who you are both inside and outside.

"Tooooommmm." You say childishly between giggles, as he gets more handsy, also he's being very playful with his touch on your body, as well as kissing all over your face and down your neck.

Tom chuckled against your neck as he continued to kiss down it, the slight roughness of his stubble brushing against your skin, not that you minded it as you actually liked it. He then kissed down to your collarbone, whilst his fingers found their way underneath his t shirt on your body and caressed your skin softly. Eventually his fingers hoisted his t shirt further up your body and his lips moved down to kiss your abdomen. His breath warm against your skin and the slight roughness of his stubble brushes you there now too and makes you giggle. When his kisses trailed upwards his fingers pushed his t shirt up even higher, revealing more of your body to himself, his mouth then latched onto your nipples in turn. He gently sucked and circled his tongue around each of them in turn, while he kneaded your other breast, pinching and rubbing the other nipple before his hot wet mouth switched over. You moaned softly as he paid special attention to your breasts and you felt him smirking as he sucked a little harder and circling his tongue around every now and then.

Before you knew it Tom had removed his t shirt completely away from your body and pulled his joggers down and off you too. His kisses trailed up from your calves to your thighs as his hands caressed your body softly. His stubble scratches you and leaves a slight stinging sensation in its wake. He was just showing his appreciation of your body, treating you like a queen, squashing any ill thoughts you might have going on in your mind again about how you looked. Soon enough you felt him part your thighs, his noise brush against your clit briefly before his mouth latched onto it, gently sucking and humming with approval. His humming sent vibrations up your body and you felt a shiver run down your spine. In return his ministrations increased, his hot mouth around your clit sucked more intensely, before his tongue pushed through your wet folds. He moaned as he vigorously began sliding his tongue in and out of your heated core, your own soft and quiet noises of pleasure escaped your lips, his hands also taking a firm grasp on the back of your thighs as he brought up your core closer to his mouth.

After a while you came all over his tongue and some dribbled down his chin. As he looked up at you after he had helped you through your climax his chin was glistening with your arousal. He then smacked his lips together and licked them clean before wiping his chin with the back of his hand. He just sat on his knees for a bit enjoying how you looked in the aftermath of your climax with a smirk gracing his lips.

"You know...I wouldn't mind having another little pair of feet running around the house. " Tom suddenly says, with his fingers lacing with your own, as he comes to lay beside you now. Neither of you had spoken about having any more kids before, you were a little surprised by him suggesting it, but you weren't at the same time, due to the fact you know he's always wanted a lot of kids. Long before you met him even. 

"You want another one?" You asked, as you look into his eyes deeply while trying to work out how serious he is about this.

"Yeah...I really want another with you, Y/N. You're already a wonderful mother to our little ones and I just...I still feel that need to be a parent again. I admit I miss having to do all those little things with having a baby around, you know? Like teaching them how to walk, how to talk...oddly even getting up for nightly feeding" He says softly with slightly reminiscing laughter about being a parent. "I miss everything about having a baby. Don't get me wrong I love our kids so much, you know I do, yet I can't help but think about having another lately." He adds, his thumb caresses your hand as he keeps your fingers laced together, his expression was just as telling as his words are. He really wants another kid with you.

"I miss it too." You eventually spoke up after letting his words sink in, although it's been five years since your youngest was born, yet you had to agree that you miss everything he just said too. Despite thinking that you'd done having more kids up until now, you knew at that moment you wanted to start all over again. 

Tom's face lit up like a Christmas tree when you told him you wanted the same thing. It didn't take him long before his lips were back on yours. The taste of yourself still lingered on his tongue and you moaned into the kiss as you pulled him closer to your body. He took that as a hint and took off his nightwear while trying not to be away from you too much. The pair of you were all tongues, mouths and hands again, but when you felt his erection pressing against your thigh your body shivered. 

"Let's get you knocked up." Tom says teasingly and wiggles his eyebrows after your lips parted making you laugh. 

He proceeded to flip you over onto your back ready, his grasp onto your hips firmly as he brought himself into position. At first he brushed the head of his cock against your sodden pussy a couple of times, making you jolt excitedly, and a gasp to escape your lips. You thought he was going to be rough with you at first, but instead he slowly pushed inside of you and began to make love to you gently.

Aymeric and Sen - ◑ — [sender] gifts [receiver] a pair of matching pajamas || @agloryofuniicorns

Christmas was a bit of an odd time for the De Borel family. It was hard to say they didn't celebrate it, but it came with an increased need for Aymeric to be at fancy parties intermingling with the Ishgardian upper class. Fallon had to attend as well, so she had to be left with a backup babysitter who she didn't like as much. It was a bit lonely all things considered. Sen wished she could be allowed to go to the parties her dad went to, but Grandfather Thordan had expressly forbidden it. It was for her own good he insisted.

Just like hiding her horns and tail and scales was for her own good.

Aymeric did his best to play father and Lord Speaker, but often times one role came at expense of the other and in those moments, Mina's absence was felt more strongly than usual.

However, what Sen wasn't lacking for was presents. The Christmas tree was practically filled to the brim with presents for her with a few for Aymeric and Fallon spread around the tree. For most of the season, Sen would spend time tapping at and gently feeling the presents trying to guess what they would be. It was a small distraction from an otherwise lonely season for her despite Aymeric and Fallon's best efforts.

Sen was sitting near the tree one evening when he came home. She could see the flecks of snow melting onto his winter coat, and even the little girl could tell he looked... tired, as if every ounce of energy had been sucked dry. However, the moment he knew his daughter was within ear shot, he attempted to perk up just a little.

And that's what he did this time too.

"Looking at the presents again? Remember, Santa still hasn't come yet," He mused softly as he approached her and moved to sit next to her.

"Mm... What could Santa even bring me though? There's a lot of presence under here for me..." Sen muttered, placing the box she'd been softly shaking back under the tree.

"Well, what would you like?" Aymeric asked softly although, judging by his expression he knew what Sen's answer would be.

Her mother.

And even Sen knew that was not something Santa could bring.

She inhaled, crossing her arms and thinking. If her mother was off the table then...

"I want Santa to make it snow so much that you can stay home on Christmas and not have to go to work."

There's a pause. She can tell she's caught her father off guard by the comment before his surprise softens into a smile before he picks his daughter up and places her in his lap.

"Well, I'm sure Santa can make that happen." He said softly. Sen hadn't known that her father was doing his best to make sure he could be with her on Christmas and that was the reason he'd been spending all his free time working it seemed like, "In the mean time, why don't you pick a present to unwrap a little early?" He offered.

She wasn't going to say no, obviously. She was a child and children always loved unwrapping gifts.

Sen settled on a bag with minimal clean up, and what was present in it was not a toy, it wasn't a game or fancy new gadget (all of which were probably under the tree anyway), but clothes. Pajamas, in fact.

And it wasn't just pajamas for her, but for her father as well. Aymeric seemed a little concerned when she opened it that she would be displeased with it, but...

She actually really liked it! If her father had Christmas off they could wear their new pajamas together! It was something only she and her dad could share and that meant more to her than any toy or electronic she would have gotten.

Perhaps she was a bit more like her mother than Sen knew.

BIOGRAPHY !

Jennifer Henderson (formerly Jennifer Bennett) is a main character in Midnight Rain: a Stranger Things story. She is the older sister of Dustin Henderson and the former girlfriend of Steve Harrington. She was apart of the graduating class of 1985, alongside Steve Harrington, Tommy H, and Carol Perkins.

Jennifer was originally from Detroit, and had a keen interest in mischief. She ended up in foster care between the ages of 10-13, where she would suffer from mental abuse before running away to Hawkins, Indiana. On one fateful day in 1979, while roaming the streets, Jennifer was taken in by Claudia and Mr. Henderson. When she began high school in 1981, she met a fellow student named Wilhelmina Byers. She was well-known around Hawkins High School, especially to the popular kids. The two hit it off and later became best friends, where Jennifer would meet Jonathan Byers. They also were best friends, until she met Steve Harrington, Carol Perkins, and Tommy Hagan.

In 1983, following a few ignorant actions, Jennifer cut off ties with Jonathan Byers and started hanging out with Steve Harrington and his friends, Carol Perkins and Tommy H. However, she didn't like Nancy Wheeler, and was basically jealous of her and Steve's relationship. On the late night of November 8, Jennifer suffered a bad injury in Steve's backyard, resulting in a large cut on her outer forearm from a broken piece of metal garden edging. Later, started feeling bad for pushing away one of the people she cared about, and sat out make things right with Jonathan. She later consequently saved the world with both him, Steve Harrington, and Nancy Wheeler. Around December, Jennifer befriended Nancy, and will surprisingly became best friends after Christmas.

In 1984, Jennifer also became an ally to the Party, especially Max Mayfield, with whom she formed an unlikely friendship and sisterly bond. She became a sort of authority figure for the party and became a major player in the battle against the Mind Flayer. Jennifer and Billy Hargrove had a fling with each other, and were on good terms until she later caught him making out with Tina, another previous student from Hawkins High School. She ended things with Billy and soon became enemies shortly after, when he found out that she was role model to Max. Jennifer and Steve began dating shortly after their encounter on October 31, after his break up with Nancy Wheeler.

In 1985, when Starcourt Mall was freshly built, she jumped on the opportunity to get a job. She started working at Scoops Ahoy, and met Robin Buckley. She finally met up with her brother after he was away for the summer. She and Steve along with Robin co-help Dustin, who had just come to them with a strange radio transmission. Jennifer, along with Robin, helped Dustin translate a secret Russian transmission. They discovered there were Russians in Hawkins, working underneath Starcourt Mall. Jennifer, her brother, Steve and Robin as well as Erica Sinclair, discovered Russians were trying to reopen a portal to the Upside Down. She also formed a friendship with Robin and later accepted her sexuality. Jennifer later learned of the Mind Flayer’s return and helped the rest of the Party battle against it until the gate was closed again. Three months later, Jennifer and Steve are going on 2 and half months dating, and have a very strong relationship plus, strong bond. The couple, including Robin, applied for new jobs at Family Video.

In the spring of 1986, Jennifer was still working at family video when she got into a nasty argument with Steve. That resulted in them breaking up as she ran away and met Eddie Munson, and began having a fling with. She and the other’s learned about the murder at the Forest Hills Trailer Park on TV in the store and at her house. Later, after finding out more information about the victim from Max and Dustin, they then trace down Eddie Munson, who was the prime suspect of Chrissy’s death. Jennifer along with Steve, Max, Robin, and Dustin went to Reefer Rick’s house (Eddie’s drug dealer) where she learned about the dark wizard of the Upside Down. Following Nancy, Steve, Robin and Eddie Munson's brief misadventure in the Upside Down, Vecna psychically revealed his identity to Jennifer, and shared his plans for the future. With these discoveries, Jennifer and her friends formulated a plan to kill Vecna and stop from opening four gates across Hawkins. However, Steve, Nancy, and Robin were only able to severely injure Vecna and could not prevent him from opening the gates. An unfortunate end came around when Jennifer witnessed Eddie cut the rope that led to the real world, and fended off the demobats himself, so Jennifer and Dustin could escape. The Henderson sibling came back to the Upside Down, but were faced with severe injuries -- him suffering a fractured leg and her a broken wrist. When they rushed to Eddie's side, he was heavily injured and dying. Jennifer had to say goodbye, not wanting to since he made her happy. Dustin pretty much drug her away.

Two days later, Jennifer slowly accepts her boyfriend’s death as she, Steve, Robin, and Dustin work to help survivors of an earthquake that was caused when the gates were open. The Henderson siblings explain to Eddie’s uncle -- Wayne Munson -- what happened, telling him how much he was a hero and she loved him for who he was. However, Jennifer witnessed particles from the Upside Down falling down over Hawkins as it bled into the real world.. 

History

Born on May 1, 1966, Jennifer was the first and only child of Eileen Bennett, and was later legally adopted by the Henderson family. she would later be joined by younger brother Dustin (born in 1971). Together, the family of four lived in their home in Hawkins, Indiana.

Growing up before being in foster care, Jennifer learned how to hotwire a car and use a gun out of safety since she lived in her birth mom's 1970 Land Rover until the year 1976, later taken into Child Protective Services. She later started living with Claudia and Mr. Henderson, and grew up with a younger brother. Sometime after that, Jennifer grew closer to his friends, Mike, Will and Lucas. As Dustin and Jennifer grew older, Jennifer became distant from Dustin and his friends. By the time Jennifer attended Hawking High School, she had become best friends with Wilhelmina Byers and soon after Jonathan Byers, although her and Wilhelmina were closer. At some point, Jennifer began to have a crush on Steve Harrington, one of the most popular boys at Hawkins High School.

November 1983

On the evening of November 6, Jennifer had just gotten to her house -- walking home from Hawkins High when she engaged in a conversation with her younger brother about him leaving for Mike Wheeler's house to play Dungeons and Dragons.

The following morning, it was revealed that jennifer was jealous of Steve Harrington and Nancy Wheeler's Relationship, although she didn't mention is. It was clearly obvious as Wilhemina teases her quite often about it. That night after dinner, she heard the news of the disappearance of Will Byers, beginning to fear her own safety. After witnessing Nancy finding a note in her school locker the next morning, Nancy is quick to leave as Jennifer felt defeated by the act, she quickly went to her best friend to tell her the problem and how she started to hate Nancy but wanted to be her.

The next day, at school, Jennifer was invited to a pool party at Steve's house when he was home alone and decided to Invite Nancy along. When noticing Jonathan Byers putting up missing posters for his brother, she watched as Nancy walked up to him and reassured him that Will's probably okay. At dinner, Nancy had invited Jennifer over for dinner and later lied to her mom, saying the two of them wanted to go to a "school assembly," honoring Will. Her (Nancy's) mom allowed her to go and told them to be back by ten o'clock, which Nancy promised to do so. When her mom offered for Jennifer and Nancy to take their brothers and his friends with them, both of them were bewildered by their immediate refusal and strange behavior with Nancy giving them a look of annoyance.

Jennifer, Nancy and Barb arrived at Steve's house where Barb was reluctant to come in as Steve only invited Jennifer and Nancy to his party and did not want her to be in the company of Steve's friends, Tommy H and Carol Perkins. However, she was a witness to Nancy convincing Barb to join the party so she can look after her and make sure she doesn't do anything stupid, such as getting drunk. Jennifer, Nancy and Barb showed up to the party where the three spent their time with Steve, Tommy, and Carol in the backyard by Steve's pool. While partying, Jennifer opened a beer can with a knife and successfully drank all of the beer where Steve and his friends cheered for her. She watched as Nancy urged Barb to do the same where Barb accidentally cut her hand in the process of opening a beer can. Both Jennifer and Nancy were concerned for Barb, but she was coldly brushed off by her friend and Jennifer, later rushed to the bathroom to tend to her injuries. While Barb went inside, Jennifer and Nancy continued to have fun with Steve and his friends by jumping into the pool.

Later, Nancy eventually went to Steve's room to change into some dry clothes as Jennifer was left by herself. When Nancy was confronted by Barb, who told Nancy she was not being true to herself, an exasperated Nancy bluntly told Barb to go home before joining Steve upstairs. Jennifer tried offering to stay with Barbara, but she declined, coldly telling her to leave. As Jennifer was exiting Steve's house, she was leaving the backyard, the lights flickered and heard a scream from Barbara, who was sitting alone outside by the pool, was abducted by an otherworldly monster. In the dark, Jennifer lost her footing and fell on a broken piece of metal gardening edging, bleeding profusely as the lights turned on. She rushed back to her house where she is greeted by Wilhelmina, assisting her wound also telling her to distance herself from Nancy until further notice.

Hunting the Monster

The following day, Jennifer was hoping to keep her bandaged wound to herself when Steve noticed after her sleeve slid down. He quickly made sure she was okay before ushering away. Later, she and Nancy went back to Steve's house to look for her and were startled by a creature in the forest.

Jonathan Byers was revealed to have taken pictures of Nancy Wheeler in her underwear at the party the previous night, so Steve, along with his friends, destroyed the photos and broke his camera. However, Jennifer decided to help Jonathan clean up his broken camera and ripped photographs, showing no ill will towards him. When hearing Steve call for her, Jennifer stood and left. That afternoon, Nancy drug Jennifer and shared her worry about Barb with Steve, but he was more concerned that a police investigation would lead his parents to find out he had a party. Police officers Callahan and Powell questioned Nancy as Jennifer eavesdropped from the hallway, learning that she had sex with steve the night before, and she thought Barb was taken by the creature she (and Jennifer) saw in the forest. They had already searched the forest and found that Barb's car was gone. They theorized that Barb might have run away because she was jealous of Nancy and Steve.

Jennifer was with Nancy when she questioned Jonathan about the night he had taken the photographs and told him about the creature, which he recognized from his mother's' description. They went to enlarge the photo, and Nancy was certain it was the same creature she had seen earlier.

At Will Byers' funeral, Jennifer, Nancy and Jonathan decided to return to the forest to look for the creature, and Jonathan took a gun from his father's car. She later went to practice shooting with Jonathan and confided to him and Nancy that she grew up with a mother who taught her how to use a gun and hotwire a vehicle. In the forest, Jennifer witnessed Nancy and Jonathan talking about the photo he took and Steve's reaction and ended up lashing out at each other. After dark, they found a wounded deer. They agreed to kill it out of mercy, but before they could it was suddenly dragged away. Unaware, Nancy began following a blood trail, entering a hole in a tree and in a different dimension. Following Jonathan and Jennifer's voices, Nancy made her way out of the dimension unscathed, just before the portal closed. Traumatized by the experience, she had Jonathan sleepover.

The following day, Jennifer began to theorize about the Demogorgon's nature based on her knowledge, and they bought weapons to face it again. While downtown, she found Steve and his friends tagging slurs about her. Jennifer watched as the scene had unfolded, resulting in that Steve had seen Jonathan in Nancy's room last night and tried to explain that he misunderstood. Jonathan and Steve ended up in a fistfight, which had led to Jonathan's arrest.

Reuniting with Dustin

After Chief Hopper and Jonathan's mother Joyce met Jennifer, Nancy and Jonathan at the police station, they shared everything they knew about the Demogorgon.

After finding Jennifer's brother Dustin and his friends Lucas, Mike and Eleven, the group decided to build a makeshift sensory deprivation tank, which Eleven could use to look for Will and Barbara in the Upside Down. They broke into Hawkins Middle, using the resources there and creating the bathtub in the gymnasium. Eleven floated in the bathtub, entering her deepened psychic state in which she looked for Will and Barb. Although she found Will (barely) alive, she also discovered that Barb had been killed by the Monster.

Fighting the Monster

Jennifer became more determined than ever to kill the Monster. She, Nancy and Jonathan lured the Demogorgon to the Byers household with blood; with the aid of Steve, they managed to injure the Demogorgon, which would later be killed by Eleven.

December 1983

A month later, Jennifer was over at the Wheeler residence where she waited for her brother to finish his game of Dungeons and Dragons. On another note, her feelings for Steve Harrington began to die down. While she and Dustin were getting ready to leave, she watches as the Wheeler daughter gifts Jonathan with a new camera and a kiss on the cheek before he left with his younger brother.

October 1984

Reuniting With Her Birth Mother

On the 26th of October, Jennifer found her birth mother located in hometown Detroit, Michigan. After Steve agrees to take her, they begin to bond over their interests and on a more personal level. She met her mother, but was disappointed when she met a drunken mess of a woman. Disheartened, Jennifer became an emotional after the reunion, telling Steve that she wanted to go back to Hawkins. With it being too late to drive, the two decided on stayed at a hotel for the night.

Of course they slept in different beds, but since Jennifer couldn't sleep, she was able to find comfort in Steve's presence as her feelings there were there before occurred again, but knew she couldn't be with him since he was with Nancy. The next day, Steve managed to get back to Hawkins with Jennifer, dropping her off. She went to school and acted like nothing happened. Of course, Nancy began to wonder if Jennifer had a thing for him and they went so he could cheat. However, Jennifer did in fact have proof of their little adventure, reassuring Nancy that she would never take what's not hers.

Relationship with Billy

Jennifer met Billy in Hawkins High School on the day she reunited with her birth mom. They both took a strong liking to one another since she wasn't one of the girls Billy dated. They however don't initially begin things till the next day where they were secretly hooking up in supply closet in the school as Nancy began questioning what she's been doing. Of course, Jennifer denied the claims. They continuously saw one another for a few more days, and she was beginning to believe that she may become his girlfriend.

On the evening of October 29, 1984, Jennifer joined her best friend at the Palace Arcade to spend some time together since she hasn't seen Wilhelmina in a while. She then, however, begins to engage in a conversation with Keith.

That night, Jennifer, Nancy and Steve had dinner with Mrs. and Mr. Holland. When Nancy inquired about the 'For Sale' sign in their yard, they revealed they had hired Murray Bauman, a private investigator, to investigate Barb's "disappearance". Nancy excused herself to the bathroom, where she began crying over the loss of her friend. A worried Jennifer also excused herself as well before comforting Nancy in the bathroom.

October 31st, 1984

The next day, as Jennifer along with Nancy and Steve were studying in the school library, she followed Nancy's gaze toward a female who resembled Barb. Jennifer initially left and met up with her love interest, Billy, before they hooked up once again as she left to get ready for the party.

That night at the party, Jennifer met up with Billy once again, she asked fellow student Tommy Hagan to assist her on the keg. Taking in way more than she could hold, Jennifer was held as the keg champion -- Keg Queen (since Billy was Keg King). Jennifer was heading toward another hook up, intoxicated not only by the alcohol but also by his ways of making her fall in love. Angered, Jennifer decided to leave the party since she went only because of her new love interest, but deep down she still in love with Steve, even if she didn't want to admit to her feelings. She stumbled out to Steve, who was near the entrance of Tina's house, catching her in his arms. They told each other what happened, and later confessed that they liked each other. Jennifer was later taken to Steve's home since she didn't want to have her mom and brother see her in the current condition she was in. Late that following night, she managed to recover a little bit, getting dressed and leaving. When she arrived home, Dustin was home as he was nervous as his Ghostbusters box began shaking erratically. When Dustin entered his room, Jennifer barged in and saw what he had been hiding. An odd looking slug is what he tried keeping hidden.

The next day, Jennifer was hesitant going to school considering that she was with Steve, and dealt with a bad hangover which resulted in her missing her first period class. After she arrived at the school, she found Wilhelmina and told her everything she could remember at the party the night before. When She asked Jennifer if she still was in love with Steve Harrington, she came clean, revealing that the only reason she asked him to join her was to spend time with him. At the party, she got drunk because she suppressed her feelings toward him. When Jennifer left, she came across Nancy and Steve speaking privately. Nancy asked Steve why she had not seen him that morning, only to be met by a cold response from him. She got more info about what exactly happened between them at the party, afraid he may reveal what him and Jennifer did later. When she was listening in, Steve asked what Nancy remembered from the party last night, Nancy told him all she could remember was dancing, getting drunk, and going home where she believed Steve to have taken her, only for Steve to reveal that it was actually Jonathan who took her home. Jennifer was abe to back that claim up since he was helping her to safety since she was hungover too. Jennifer watched as Nancy became confused over why Jonathan took her home, causing Steve recount the other events of the party to her where she blamed him and herself for causing Barb's death, how she felt about their relationship, and revealing she did not love Steve. Luckily for Jennifer, Steve didn't reveal too much about the kiss they shared.

Locating Dart

At the end of the school day, Jennifer caught up with her brother and his friends and new comer Max Mayfield as they searched for a slug -- the same slug Dustin had the night prior. They continued searching only to find out that the slug was nowhere in sight, and Will had another "episode" as Jennifer found it disturbing as she recounted the events of last year, feeling worried that something is coming back to haunt Hawkins again.

That afternoon, when Mews went missing, both Jennifer and Dustin tried to come up with an explanation before getting their mom to leave. Once she was gone, Jennifer knew Dustin was hiding something as the two siblings encountered a grown Dart feeding on Mews. When Dustin stated that he was getting help, Jennifer left to keep an eye on the basement and make sure Dart didn't break through the double doors that were held with a chain and lock. She waited until Wilhelmina arrived, wondering where she had been the last couple hours. She brought her best friend in, and told Wilhelmina everything that has occured that lead up to Dart and the whole search mission. When her brother arrived, Dustin had explained Dart to Steve, who initially believed that what Dustin found was some sort of lizard. Wilhelmina asked to join since she didn't want to be home by herself at the Byers Residence with everything that has happened to Will. When they entered the cellar, they discovered that not only had Dart molted again, but it had also escaped through a tunnel it had dug in the earth.

As they were walking along the train tracks, Jennifer wondered if her and Steve would make it as a couple, but she felt he had regrets. Phoebe explained that love will come eventually, and that Jennifer needed to wait. Along the way, she listened in on Dustin as he explained to Steve he had kept Dart in hopes of impressing “a girl”. Steve then gave him relationship advice, telling him to “act like he doesn't care”. He also disclosed his hair-styling secret: Farrah Fawcett hairspray but stated not to reveal it to anyone. Jennifer expressed that she hated being in love with him and wished she never laid eyes on him. The four eventually arrived at the junkyard where they were soon joined by Lucas and Max. Together, they fortified the abandoned bus and created a trap to lure in Dart. As the group was waiting in the bus, they suddenly heard a screeching sound. The sound's source was revealed to be Dart, who arrived at the junkyard but didn't take the bait. So, Steve decided to confront him while telling Jennifer to remain prepared.

However, when Steve approached Dart, it was revealed that he wasn't alone and was joined by several other Demodogs. Steve, almost overwhelmed, managed to get back in the bus with the group after defending himself from the attacking Demodogs. Jennifer witnessed Phoebe run off the bus, and would later be murdered by the Demodogs.

As the pack attacked the bus and nearly overwhelmed them, they suddenly stopped, leaving the junkyard. Following the Demodogs, they realized they were heading to Hawkins Lab. Jennifer was the first one off the bus, and searched for Phoebe, only to find her wounded and bleeding out. With a tough decision, Jennifer had to leave her there until she can come back with the right help. On the way, Jennifer managed to push past her saddened feelings and started a sisterly bond between her and Max, telling her that Jennifer will protect her. Arriving at the lab, they discovered Nancy and Jonathan, who were looking for Mike, Will, and Phoebe. Jennifer then told Jonathan the news of his sister's death, creating various emotions between them. That later made their friendship stronger. They were all forced to wait outside the lab, due to the lab's power being out. Eventually, the power came back and the group was finally able to get passed the gates. They reunited with Joyce, Hopper, Mike, and Will, and together they all escaped the lab.

Once it was determined that they’d have to interrogate Will in order to discover the Mind Flayer’s weakness, Steve assisted in remodeling the Byers’ backyard shed. Sometime after, he and Jennifer both were afraid the world might end, signalling in them getting closer to the next step in their relationship. During Will’s interrogation, he signaled in Morse code the way to stop the Mind Flayer: closing the Gate.

Protecting the Kids with Steve

Soon after, the phone in the Byers' kitchen rang, allowing the Mind Flayer to know their location and send a pack of Demodogs their way. However, Eleven arrived and eradicates them. Together, the group came up with a plan: Joyce, Jonathan, and Nancy would exorcise the Mind Flayer from Will's body while Eleven and Hopper would go to the lab and close the gate. Meanwhile, Jennifer and Steve stayed behind at the Byers’ house, along with Mike, Dustin, Lucas, and Max.

When Mike, Dustin, Lucas, and Max decided they’d burn the tunnels as a distraction to lure the Demodogs away from the lab for Eleven and Hopper safety, both Jennifer and Steve refused to let them enact their plan since it would jeopardize the kid's safety. Just then, Billy arrived looking for Max and confronted Steve. Steve tried to conceal her location by replying that he had no idea of her whereabouts. But Billy discovered his lies and aggressively pushed him away before entering the house. Jennifer wasn't allowing him to come any closer as he tried everything in his power to manipulate Jennifer into moving, so he could enter. However, he did gain the upper hand and pushed her away as she fell. As Billy tried to forcefully bring back Max by threatening Lucas, he knocked Jennifer down, causing her to hit her head on a nearby table creating a pretty bad injury. At the end, Steve intervened and the two ended up in a fistfight.

Initially, Jennifer begged both the guys to stop but they didn't care as Steve had the upper hand and dealt some quick blows, before Billy countered and brutally beat him repeatedly. Jennifer noticed a lone syringe and motioned Max towards it, where it was used it to sedate Will, Max was able to puncture Billy's neck, making him lose consciousness. Jennifer had no time to think since she was on her own now, assisting Steve with Max's help as they quickly make way toward Billy's vehicle.

Burning the Tunnels

Using Billy's car, Jennifer drove the group to the pumpkin patch where the entrance to the tunnels was located. Steve came to his consciousness and realized that Jennifer and the kids were already entering the tunnels, despite his refusal. Even though Steve protested, Dustin and Jennifer ultimately managed to convince him to help them. Making their way to the hub, they doused the entire area in gasoline and set it ablaze. On their way out of the tunnels, the group encountered Dart. Recognizing Dustin, Dart did not attack and was easily distracted by Dustin giving it another Three Musketeers bar, allowing the group to escape.

November - December

Sometime later, Hawkins Lab was shut down as a result of Nancy and Jonathan presenting evidence to Murray Bauman on their involvement with Barbara's death through a recorded confession made by Sam Owens. After the lab was closed, Jennifer attended Phoebe's funeral with Jonathan, Joyce and Will as well as Steve to show his respects, and Jennifer was at Barbara's funeral the day before.

The Snowball

On December 15, Jennifer and Steve finally proclaimed their feelings for one another before leaving to take her younger brother to a school dance. Steve drove Dustin to the Snow Ball, giving him another pep talk on how to win the hearts of girls.

After Dustin left, Steve drove away and went back to Jennifer's home where they hit another step in their new relationship, losing her virginity to him in the process.

1984-1985

Employment at Scoops Ahoy

By the time summer arrived, Jennifer graduated high school. However, Jennifer was scheduled to leave for a college campus tour in another state, which resulted in her staying for her boyfriend, friends, and family (plus the history she had). Sometime after the inauguration of the shopping center Starcourt Mall by the mayor of Hawkins, Jennifer began working in one of its food courts, the Scoops Ahoy, alongside Steve and Robin, her and Steve's former classmate.

The Summer of 1985

Sometime in June 1985, Jennifer later got home from an out of town trip visit to her aunt, and later received a letter from UC-Berkeley. She read the letter as it states that she has been accepted into the university class of 1989.

On June 28, 1985, She and Steve helped Mike, Lucas, Will, and Max sneak into the mall's movie theater through the back exit of Scoops Ahoy as they warned them that the kids would be in big trouble if they were caught. When the power suddenly went out, Steve tried to fix the problem by flicking the light switch, much to Robin's annoyance and Jennifer's smart-ass tone. Steve kept flicking the switch until the power came back on and Steve went back to work with Robin and Jennifer, believing he fixed the problem.

The next day, as Jennifer sat in the back while Steve served ice cream to customers, he started to flirt with numerous female customers, only to fail each time. As a result, that lead to jealousy and unresolved hatred while Robin noticed, trying to comfort her the best she could. Jennifer watched as Robin would also tally up Steve's failures and mock him, much to his annoyance. Though Steve blamed his failures on his sailor hat, claiming it to be hiding his hair, Robin and Jennifer believes his failures are a result of him not having a future for himself. When Steve picks up another group of girls, he takes off his hat, saying "screw company policy," and goes to flirt with the girl. But as he's flirting miserably, Robin tallies his attempt as a failure behind his back. Jennifer was elated the girls didn't want more.

Russians in Hawkins

As Jennifer sold ice cream Scoops Ahoy the next day, she saw that Dustin had arrived, as the latter had returned from Camp Know Where the day before without Jennifer's knowledge. Steve busted out from working in the backroom, and happily greets Dustin who congratulates him for getting the job at Scoops Ahoy and introduces him to Robin who sarcastically asks how many of his friends are children when witnessing the two do a special handshake. Jennifer and Robin both were quick to judge Steve's actions.

As Dustin eats some ice cream, he recounts his time at Camp Know Where to Jennifer and Steve, while revealing that he managed to pick up a girlfriend named Suzie who in Dustin's opinion, is "hotter than Phoebe Cates." Though Jennifer and Steve is unsure of Suzie's existence, they tell Dustin how proud they are of him, not wanting to hurt Dustin's feelings. As they converse more, Jennifer and Steve became shocked to hear that Dustin's friends ditched him yesterday, but made an amazing discovery: he had intercepted a secret Russian communication through his homemade Cerebro. Steve becomes interested when Dustin proposes that they could be American heroes with Steve and agrees to help Dustin translate the message. To Jennifer, she was a huge skeptic of the whole Russian invasion in Hawkins.

However, Jennifer resigned from helping the two as Steve had a hard time translating the message due to recognizing a song that's being played in the recording of the message. When Robin stumbles upon their efforts, she reveals that she knows what they are up to, much to Jennifer's surprise. Steve stops Robin from taking the recorder, but she reveals that she wants to help them due being fluent in Spanish, French, Italian, and pig Latin while having been in band for twelve years. Steve is hesitant, but after being convinced by Jennifer by offering sex later, he finally relents, giving Robin the recorder. Much later, as Steve and Jennifer sell ice cream, she hears from Robin that they got their first sentence "The week is long." She watches as Steven then serves ice cream to Max and Eleven whom he is surprised to see and asks if she's allowed to be here, but shrugs it off after the two girls run off, laughing.

By the time the mall closes, Robin completes translating the first part of the message and Jennifer, Steve, with her and Dustin, read the communication which says "The week is long, the silver cat feeds when blue meets yellow in the west." Both Jennifer and Steve believe the translation could be wrong and is a bunch of nonsense. However, Robin assures them she translated it correctly and both she and Dustin theorize that the message could be some kind of code. As they discuss what the message could mean, Steve suddenly stops at one of the mall's toy carousel horses and activities it by inserting a quarter. He advises Jennifer, Robin and Dustin to listen the carousel's music which leads Dustin to recognize it from the recorded Russian communication as Jennifer recognized the song earlier. Though Robin believes Russia could have carousel horses like this one, Jennifer and Steve are not convinced as the carousel horse is an "Indiana Flyer" made in America and believes the message did not come from Russia, but rather in Hawkins within the mall.

Locating the Russian Base

Jennifer, Steve, Dustin and Robin approached Lucas's younger sister, Erica Sinclair and asked her if she can crawl through the mall's air duct to get into the secret room. Though Erica assures the group she can fit through the vent, Jennifer, Steve and Robin offered Erica dozens of Scoops Ahoy ice cream treats in exchange for her cooperation. While Steve went to get more fudge for Erica, Jennifer, Dustin and Robin debrief Erica on the plan to have her sneak into the mall's secret room while assuring there won't be any booby traps and the Russian guards won't be guarding the room by the time, she breaks in. Erica eventually agreed to help, in exchange for a free lifetime supply of Scoops Ahoy ice cream which Jennifer, Steve, Dustin, and Robin accepted.

The next day, as the group was still trapped in the elevator, Jennifer and Robin worked at the elevator doors button panel until they noticed some urine seeping into the inside of the elevator as Steve went back onto the roof to go the bathroom. Jennifer watched as Robin asks Steve to redirect his urine in another direction, which he does only to leave a trail of urine in his attempt, leaving both her and Robin disgusted. When Jennifer suddenly notices Erica trying to open a container of the green substance, she stops her and tells the little girl they don't know what kind of substance is in the container. Erica then states she wants to drink the substance rather than die of dehydration, despite Jennifer pointing out that the substance is not water. Their conversation was soon interrupted when she noticed Robin heard some Russians driving a kart, prompting Robin to inform Steve and Dustin before Jennifer, Robin and Erica join them in hiding from the Russians on the roof. Once the Russians leave, Steve uses the container of the green substance to hold the elevator door open so they can escape where Jennifer crawls out of the elevator behind Robin. After Steve manages to exit the elevator, the door crushed the container, revealing green substance to be radioactive material when dissolves into the floor where Robin jokingly asks Erica if she still wants to drink the contaminated substance. When Jennifer and the others see have entered an underground base, they have no choice, but to walk into the base.

Escaping the Base

After rescuing Steve and Robin, Jennifer, Dustin and Erica flee in the loading car with Steve and Robin sitting in the back. As Jennifer drove the loading car, she, Dustin and Erica heard the older teenagers complaining about the speed of the car, despite not driving so fast and how they were laughing hysterically. When crashing the car into some barrels near the elevator, Jennifer asked Steve and Robin if they were okay, but as they moaned in pain due to banging their heads, Dustin assured Erica that they were fine. Once Jennifer, Dustin and Erica got Steve and Robin out of the car, she proceeded to use the keycard to open and activate the elevator so she and her friends and boyfriend could escape from the base.

However, once in the elevator, Dustin and Erica were bewildered to see the Steve and Robin acting very high. Jennifer tried and failed, explaining to the kids what happened. When Steve fell to the ground, after pretending he was surfing on a dolly, Jennifer checked his temperature and started to examine him, despite getting into a struggle with Steve. Upon seeing Steve's eye pupils being dilated, Jennifer, Dustin and Erica realized the Russians had drugged Steve and Robin.

Dustin tried to snap Steve out of the drugs' effects, but after being shocked by Robin's decent explanation of death, he began to ask Steve where he parked his car as they needed to escape the mall so the Russians would not catch them again. Dustin even promised to give the older teens as much as food as they if Steve revealed where he parked his car, but Steve revealed the Russians had stolen his car keys while being held captive, leaving Dustin and his friends stuck at the mall. Jennifer suggests taking her car since her keys were left in her purse in the backroom of Scoops Ahoy. When the elevator reached the surface, Jennifer, Dustin, Erica, Robin, and Steve exited out of the elevator, only to find two Russians guards approaching them and armed with guns. This caused Jennifer, Dustin, Erica, Robin, and Steve to retreat into the mall and hide in the movie theater. Once getting Steve and Robin to sit in some seats, Jennifer, Dustin and Erica grabbed their seats to lay low.

Conquering the Mind Flayer

As they hide out from the Russians in the food court, the display car in the middle surprises the Russians who were about to find them when it suddenly honks. On the second floor, the Party reveal themselves where Eleven telekinetically throws the car at the Russians, saving Jennifer, Steve, Robin, Erica and Dustin. However, before they can catch their breath and share their stories, Eleven collapses in pain from a bite in her leg, which is revealing to be congealing into a small monster from within her. In her earshot, a panicked Robin, still not understanding what is going on, tries to recount a story about her soccer teammate Beth Wildfire getting injured, but Steve tells her she is not helping, which Robin apologizes for. After a failed attempt to cut it out by Jennifer, Eleven instead pulls it out psychically, which the group watches in shock and awe. The monster is then killed off by the arrival of Hopper, Murray, and Joyce.

Once everyone is reunited, it is explained to Robin how Will Byers got trapped in and got rescued from alternate dimension called the Upside Down where the former Hawkins National Laboratory was responsible due to opening a Gate to the Upside Down through Eleven, who was a former test subject at the lab. The group also explains to her that last year Will was possessed the monstrous ruler of the Upside Down, the Mind Flayer until he was freed from his possession with the help of his friends and family before the Gate to the Upside Down was closed. Now, the Mind Flayer had returned to Hawkins through the Gate the Russians are opening under the mall and built itself a body for his severed fragment to kill the Party where it had managed to injure Eleven by biting her leg.

After coming up with a plan to stop the Russian key to cut off the Mind Flayer's mind from its makeshift body, Jennifer, Steve, along with Robin, Dustin and Erica, head back to Dustin's transmitter to help Murray navigate the ducts of the Russian base, joined by Joyce and Hopper. Around the same time however, the Mind Flayer's proxy body, the Spider Monster arrives to kill the Party, Nancy, and Jonathan, leading to Jennifer, Steve and Robin returning to the mall. Steve crashes the car against the flayed Billy's car, incapacitating him (Billy) momentarily, in a move that stuns Robin. When the Mind Flayer's proxy body comes out of the mall by climbing onto to the roof, Jennifer is horrified at the sight of the abomination before she, Steve and Robin leave with Nancy, Jonathan, Lucas, and Will to escape from the creature. As they drive with the creature in pursuit, Dustin finally manages to get in contact with Suzie in order to get Planck's constant, he is just as shocked as Jennifer that she is real. Noticing the Monster has turned around, the gang follow it back to Starcourt and save Eleven using Lucas' fireworks.

Jennifer watches as Billy sacrificed himself himself to protect Eleven and the Mind Flayer’s ensuing demise. He later succumbed to his wounds and The Monster is finally killed upon Joyce closing the Gate. With the military arriving, the mall is closed down and the event is covered by a fake story of a fire that had killed the fallen people inside.

Leaving Hawkins/Joining the UC-Berkeley class of 1989

Sometime in mid October, Jennifer made her way toward California. However, she stopped by Steve's residence to spend on last intimate moment with him before she left for good. He later offered to drive her to the state and come back with her vehicle to return to Mrs. Henderson. She later shared a passionate kiss with Steve before he left for Hawkins as Jennifer finally moved into a shared dorm with another roommate.

Returning to Hawkins 1986

On March 19, Jennifer was going on spring break and decided to visit Hawkins to see everyone, since she hasn't heard from her friends and family since before she left. The next night, Jennifer flies safely in Hawkins, Indiana as she greeted her mom, who picked her up from the airport. She later arrived, and quickly got ready for the following day despite being exhausted.

Jennifer finally got in her vehicle, almost forgetting what to do as she decided to take a drive around town. Memories come back before stopping at Hawkins high school, reminiscing about her times before leaving. However, when she exited the vehicle and approached the woods, she overheard a conversation and was later greeted by a male named Eddie Munson. To her surprise, Eddie was kind and looked vaguely familiar as he questions if she is related Dustin Henderson. With an approval, Jennifer found out that Eddie was apart of Dustin's D&D club. She wanted to get to know him, but declined the campaign since her brother told her about the basketball championship.

On March 21, Jennifer was picked up by Steve since her car was heavily damaged and couldn't be fixed since it later caught on fire after running it into the side of Billy's Camaro. While driving Robin to school, Jennifer overheated Steve talked to her about his recent date, Heidi going out of state for college and did not want to commit a relationship with a girl that only involved having sex. Ahead, Robin, who was barely paying attention, told Steve his love life was getting more complex due to him getting tons of dates from female customers while working at Family Video. When Robin expressed concern about having to attend a basketball pep rally, Jennifer nor Steve did not buy she was concerned about the rally, but rather on impressing Vickie, a girl in her band class whom Robin developed a crush on. Though Robin did not know for sure what Vickie's sexuality was, both Jennifer and Steve advised Robin to pursue her, believing Vickie to be the right girl and a lesbian, due to having paused and returned the movie Fast Times at Ridgemont High at fifty-three minutes and five seconds, much to Robin's disgust. After their talk, Steve dropped Robin off at Hawkins High and left to go work at his job at Family Video with Jennifer.

Witness to Murder

After the game, many of Hawkins' teenagers headed to a party, but Jennifer wanted to spend time with Eddie and get to know him better. However Chrissy was there and visited his trailer, giving her a peek into his home life. Eddie explained to both females that he lived with his uncle and began to search the trailer for the "Special K," otherwise known as ketamine. Jennifer stood with Chrissy and felt bad for suspecting her being rude, but things turned upside down. When Eddie returned to his living room, Chrissy was under Vecna's curse and failed to respond to Jennifer and him shaking her shoulders in desperation, trying to wake her. She suddenly levitated, and as she was brutally killed by Vecna, Eddie fell backward and screamed in horror. Afterward, he ran away in fear of what had just happened leaving Jennifer on the crime scene as she too ran away.

Searching for a Dark Wizard

The following day, Jennifer took the day off to process what she saw in Eddie's trailer the night before, terrorizing her and fearing for her safety. However, before Jennifer stepped out of her house for Family Video, she watched a live news coverage of a Hawkins High School student being found dead at Forest Hills Trailer Park this morning. She knew who it was -- Chrissy Cunningham.

Later that morning, Jennifer watched as Max visited her and Dustin and told them about seeing Eddie, Jennifer and Chrissy together the previous night and that Chrissy was the murder victim.

Jennifer listened to Max as she remarked on how Eddie and Chrissy stood out due to their different social statuses and revealed that Eddie's name has not yet been released to the public. Jennifer denied them doing anything and later revealed that she is currently seeing Eddie. Dustin was ecstatic, however, Max wasn't. When Max stated Eddie was likely a suspect, Jennifer and Dustin refused to believe Eddie was responsible for Chrissy's death as he treated him and Jennifer nicely and even offered Jennifer a lot since her breakup with Steve. After Max stated they could not presume whether Eddie was guilty or not, despite things not looking good for him, she and Jennifer was asked by Dustin why she did not inform the police their story and was confused when she answered she did not know why. Jennifer stated her reason was that she didn't know if she believed what she saw that night. However, after a moment of silence and hesitation, Max revealed to Dustin after seeing Jennifer, Eddie and Chrissy together at the trailer park, she saw the electricity in her home flickering rapidly for a moment before witnessing Eddie flee then later Jennifer. Max described how scared both of them had looked last night and revealed to Dustin that she may suspect something supernatural may have been responsible for Chrissy's death. Though Jennifer, Max and Dustin did not know for sure and believing it to be impossible, they realize that beside Jennifer, Eddie was the only person who knew what actually happened to Chrissy and decided to seek him and Jennifer out to ask them for answers as they left the Henderson house together.

After Nancy finished speaking with the new Police Chief Calvin Powell, Jennifer, Steve and the others took her to the trailer park where they told her about Vecna being Fred and Chrissy's killer and their theories on how he attacked his victims with curses or spells while being unsure if he was doing the Mind Flayer's bidding or not. When Nancy began to question why Fred and Chrissy were killed, Jennifer listened to her brother and Max list all of the last locations Fred and Chrissy were before their deaths, including the trailer park, something which made both Jennifer and Steve nervous. When Nancy revealed how Fred immediately began acting scared, nervous, and upset when the two of them arrived at the trailer park yesterday, Jennifer and Steve heard Dustin reveal Max said Chrissy was also was upset as she had found Chrissy crying in the girls' bathroom at school hours earlier before her death. After Robin noted how serial killers usually stalk their prey before killing them and theorized Fred and Chrissy could have seen Vecna before they died, Jennifer commented on how she would mention seeing a monstrous killer to someone. At her comment, Jennifer heard Max reveal she had also noticed Chrissy leaving the office of their school counselor, Ms. Kelley before finding her in the bathroom, making Jennifer and Steve, and Max's friends realize Ms. Kelley might had information on Chrissy encountering Vecna before her death.

Upon entering Ms. Kelley's office, Jennifer, Steve and Dustin waited for Max to look for Chrissy's medical file in a file cabinet, only to become surprised when Max also brought out a file for Fred, revealing Fred had also been seeing Ms. Kelley as well. While looking over Fred and Chrissy's files, Jennifer, Steve and Dustin noticed Max suddenly becoming unresponsive, leaving them concerned only to witness Max suddenly snap back to reality.

By the time Nancy and Robin arrived at the school, Jennifer and her friends heard Max reveal that she saw a mysterious grandfather clock in one of the hallways while she had been under a trance. After Dustin noted how Max's trance was similar to the state Chrissy was in before she died from both Jennifer and Eddie's descriptions, Jennifer and the others heard Max state that her trance was not the only thing they should be concerned about. Back inside Ms. Kelley's office, Jennifer heard Max reveal Fred and Chrissy consulted in Ms. Kelley for help as they both were suffering both extremely bad headaches, sleep deprivation, nightmares, and night sweats. In addition, Max revealed later on, both Fred and Chrissy started having terrifying visions of any dark secrets and trauma they had experienced which had gotten worse over time before they were eventually killed. Jennifer then heard when Fred and Chrissy started suffering from these symptoms before hearing Max confess she too had been having these same symptoms for five days now. This made Jennifer and the others realize Max was Vecna's next target and because of Fred and Chrissy dying twenty-four hours after their first vision, Max would likely be killed tomorrow.

The revelation was cut short when Jennifer and her friends, and her brother hear a noise outside the lobby. When Steve goes out to investigate, Jennifer and the others follow him outside the lobby, only to be startled and surprised when Lucas reveals himself. Jennifer's brother Dustin was approached by Lucas who informed him of his basketball teammates, Jason Carver, Patrick McKinney, and Andy hunting for Eddie and how they were now trying to look for him as they discovered he knew where Eddie was hiding. Not being too concerned about Jason or Eddie now, Dustin's older sister simply told Lucas they had bigger problems right now and proceeded to tell him about Vecna and how Max was now in danger of being murdered by the entity.

Escaping the Upside Down

Upon arriving at Eddie Munson's trailer, a broom was used by the teenagers to fully open the gate and the younger kids tied bed sheets together to create a rope before placing a mattress to support the fall of their older allies. Robin and Eddie successfully pass through and return to the real world, deeming the experience "fun." Nancy passed through as well. However, Jennifer became trapped in Vecna's curse before she and Steve could escape, causing the group to frantically search for music in order to free Dustin's older sister from the trance. Fortunately for them, Jennifer was spared by the creature, who gave her an ominous message to deliver to her friends.

Finding out Vecna's identity

Nancy, Steve, Lucas, and Robin were woken up by Jennifer who told them they had to go to Victor Creel's house due to Max having drawn a picture of it as she had seen it in Vecna's minds cape while being cursed by the entity. Upon arriving at the abandoned Creel house, Steve and Jennifer started removing the boarded up door with hammers they had brought. When Steve asked what they are looking for at the house, Jennifer chimed in and responded she wasn't sure, but knew the house hold some significance to Vecna, with Dustin backing up that the house could hold some clues to why Vecna killed the Creel family, why he has returned, and how to stop him before he tries to kill Max again.

Though Steve and Jennifer were able to remove the board covering the door, they found it locked until Robin suggested they use a brick to get into the house. After throwing the brick at the front doors stained glass window, shattering it, Jennifer was able to get the door open by opening it from the inside, allowing she and her friends to enter the house. When discovering the house's electricity to be dead, Jennifer was surprised to see all of his friends having brought flashlights with them, leaving Steve to be chastised by Dustin that he did not need to be told everything as he was not a child. After getting a spare flashlight from Dustin's backpack, Steve and Jennifer, along with their friends found an old grandfather clock in the hallway which Max recognized as the one she saw in her visions, leaving Steve to question why Vecna was obsessed with clocks. When the gang decided to split up in groups of two, Steve found himself partnered with Dustin and Jennifer, much to his slight annoyance as the three of them climbed upstairs to the second floor of the house. The teens eventually all gathered in the mansion's attic and detected strange activity upon noticing the lights flickering on and off. Suddenly, their flashlights exploded one by one before the bulb providing the light to the attic also exploded and plunged the whole space into darkness.

Shortly after hearing news of Patrick McKinney's murder, Jennifer joined her brother and friends in the hunt for Eddie, who was once again blamed for a murder that he did not commit. On the way to find the person she just started to know, Robin tried to get Nancy to speak with her over the increasing distance in her relationship with Steve, only for Jennifer to repeatedly insist they were just broken up. Jennifer then was informed that Robin wanted to come out to her, but was afraid she wouldn't accept her for who is. With acceptance, Jennifer was very supportive of her best friend's sexuality and rooted for her to go after Vicki, the female Robin mention a few days prior. Upon finding Eddie at Skull Rock in the woods, Jennifer was relieved when she met up with him. They shared a quick hug, unaware that Steve was beginning to get jealous of her and Eddie's relation. After, Eddie confirmed the time when Patrick was killed, which proved to be the exact same time when the flashlights in the Creel House exploded, allowing the group to realize Vecna was using the Upside Down version of the Creel mansion as his base of operations. With this information, Nancy told her friends they still cannot kill Vecna as they had no way to get into the Upside Down.

When Dustin's compass began going haywire, Jennifer heard Dustin's strange electromagnetic activity was causing his compass to malfunction, which he revealed the possibility of a new gate being opened somewhere nearby. With this news, Jennifer and the others started to venture deeper into the woods to find the gate. Upon arriving at Lover's Lake, later that night, Jennifer, Nancy, Eddie, Robin and Steve hopped onto a canoe to investigate whereas Lucas, Dustin and Max would remain on guard. Jennifer, Nancy, Robin, and Eddie watched Steve volunteer to swim down to find the gate at the bottom of the lake. When he came back up to report his findings, Jennifer, Nancy, Robin, and Eddie suddenly watch Steve get dragged back into the water, prompting her and the others to swim down after him and enter the Upside Down through the underwater gate. Finding Steve attacked by Demobats in the Upside Down, Jennifer, Nancy, Robin, and Eddie rescued him and proceeded to fight off the Demobats. After killing several Demobats, Jennifer checked Steve's wounds that he sustained from the bats and was dumbfounded when Robin asked if the bats had rabies as she was scared of them. Jennifer, Steve, Robin, Eddie and Nancy then noticed a swarm of more bats approaching after a few guarded the gate, forcing them to retreat into the Upside Down's forest.

The five older teens went to the Upside Down version of the Wheeler residence. Much to Jennifer's shock, she discovered Nancy's house and the whole Upside Down in general to be "frozen" in November 6, 1983, the exact date when Eleven opened the gate at the lab and Will went missing, which meant Nancy's guns did not yet exist. The four eventually managed to make contact with Lucas, Erica, Dustin and Max and informed them of the gate in Lover's Lake being guarded by swarms of demonic bats.

The younger teens instructed them to head to the Upside Down Munson trailer due to a gate being created in its roof following Chrissy's death. After fully opening the gate, the younger teens created a rope with some tied-up sheets and placed a mattress in the floor. After Nancy, Eddie and Robin successfully passed to the other side, Jennifer climbed up the rope, only to fall into a mysterious black void instead of the mattress. She soon found herself in an empty graveyard covered with vines from the Upside Down.

In the real world, Steve and the others realized Vecna had placed Jennifer under his curse. While exploring her surroundings, she discovered a mutilated and lifeless corpse in a corner of the pool and upon getting a closer look, she was petrified and began hyperventilating upon seeing it was Wilhelmina's lifeless body following her death at the hands of the Demodogs (which didn't happen as she ends up surviving). Though he did not appear physically, Vecna began to emotionally break Jennifer by asking her if she had forgotten the fact that she had left Wilhelmina alone to be devoured before insisting that he does not forget a single life that he had already taken. The creature continued to torment Jennifer by flooding the ground with what was presumed to be Wilhelmina's blood, forcing Jennifer to run out of the junkyard. She suddenly found herself in Vecna's mental realm, which Max had illustrated to Jennifer the previous day with her drawings, and Vecna revealed that he was aware that she, Nancy and Robin had spoken to "old, blind, dumb" Victor. After discovering Chrissy's mutilated body attached to one of the spikes of the lair, Jennifer found a door exactly like the one in the Creel family house and opened it, allowing her to enter into flashbacks of Victor Creel's life when he and his family had arrived to their home for the first time. Through these flashbacks, Jennifer realized Vecna used to be Victor's young son Henry.

She saw the young boy discovering a nest of black widows underneath a vent in the bathroom of his new house before allowing one of them to crawl into his hand. Finding these creatures "endlessly fascinating" and "deeply misunderstood" as he was, Henry spent a large amount of time in the attic of his home, analyzing and studying them. In the hall of the house, Jennifer watched in bewilderment as Henry proved to be capable of manipulating the hands of a grandfather clock of the house and forcing them to spin backwards with the power of his mind alone. Henry eventually realized he could gain access to his family's weaknesses and sins and use them to torture them. Jennifer's visions took her to the garden, where she witnessed in horror as Henry mutilated an innocent rabbit as part of his intention to explore the scope of his mysterious psychokinetic abilities. Finally, Jennifer witnessed the final dinner of the whole Creel family, in which it was revealed Henry had murdered his mother due to his belief that she hated him for his powers and wanted him to be taken away by a "specialist."

A desperate Victor tried to take his children away from the house, only to be taken once more into a memory of his time as a soldier. Eventually, he managed to escape the memory through the music of his radio, only to find his daughter Alice dead in the same way as Virginia and held an unconscious Henry in his arms, which was a result of Henry overexerting his powers in his attempt to kill his father. The authorities arrived to arrest Victor and incarcerated him in Pennhurst, just as Henry had planned. The flashbacks eventually took Jennifer to Hawkins National Laboratory, where she saw a younger Martin Brenner tattoo "001" into Henry's forearm, marking him as his very first test subject and the predecessor of numerous other subsequent subjects, including Eleven. When Brenner spoke to Jennifer, she realized it was Vecna wearing Brenner's face and fled as fast as she could. Unfortunately, she found a door barricaded with several wooden boards that was preventing her from leaving. The creature finally made its physical appearance and expressed his desire to show Jennifer where he was going with this.

Jennifer managed to remove the boards and cross to the other side, only to be strapped to a chair by several of Vecna's vines. The creature stared at Jennifer for several moments before replying that he wanted her to deliver a message to Eleven. He transmitted this "message" in the form of visions of Hawkins burning and being torn apart by four gigantic gates spreading across the town, much to Jennifer's horror. After these visions, the creature released Jennifer from the trance and Dustin's older sister collapsed in Steve's arms. With everyone safe, the group retreated to the Mayfield family trailer, where they spent the night.

Reuniting with Phoebe Byers

After Phoebe had no other place to go, she decided to crash at Eddie Munson's trailer since she was his dealer, plus she knew him very well. She came across Jennifer outside sobbing due to stress and anxiety, and decided to show herself. To Jennifer's surprise, she was in shock. She rose and rushed toward the female, bringing her in her embrace. Jennifer and Phoebe have a tearful reunion before eventually calming down, later bringing her inside.

Jennifer announced that Phoebe was alive and that was when she revealed Nancy knew, but never told Jennifer nor mention anything. That caused her to be upset at Nancy, not wanting to accept any apology that came her way. But did so, for the sake of the world ending. They sat and listened to Phoebe explain how she died and was resurrected, and hid in Hopper's cabin before finding another place to live. Jennifer then told her that something bad was happening in Hawkins, and needed her help to stop Vecna. Accepting the offer, the gang sought out a plan to fight and kill Vecna once and for all.

Fighting the Demobats

Safely united again, the group conferred and hatched a plan to defeat Vecna and save Hawkins from the fate Nancy had described. After stealing a trailer for transportation and arming themselves with a variety of weapons acquired at The War Zone. The group dropped off Max, Lucas, Phoebe and Erica at the Creel House. From there, the remaining teens drove to the Munson trailer where they entered the Upside Down via the gate Chrissy's death had created. Once inside, they split up. Before venturing to the Creel House, Jennifer brought Steve into a passionate kiss, telling him to return safely as he promised linking his pinky with hers. He, Nancy, and Robin walked to the Creel House through the woods, while Jennifer, Dustin and Eddie remained at his trailer to lure the Demobats away from the house.

Jennifer watched as Eddie succeeded in drawing the attention of the bats through playing a solo of "Master of Puppets" by Metallica on his electric guitar. However, as the Demobats came in swarms, Jennifer, Eddie and Dustin dashed into Eddie's trailer as the bats tried to break in. For a minute, they thought they were safe, but when the bats found their way in, Jennifer and the boys realized they had to leave the Upside Down through the gate if they wanted to make it out alive. Dustin successfully escaped through the gate then Jennifer, but Eddie refused to follow, knowing the barricaded door would not hold the swarm. Instead, he ran out of the trailer and lured the Demobats away from both the gate, Jennifer, and Dustin. Jennifer and her brother, who had re-entered the Upside Down in search of Eddie, found him in the middle of the swarm of Demobats. When the hive mind was injured due to both Murray Bauman torching Demogorgons with a flamethrower as well as Vecna being severely injured, the Demobats died and fell to the ground. In this moment, Jennifer and Dustin rushed to Eddie's side and cradled him, assuring him that they would get him to a hospital. Eddie, however, was too injured from the bites and was unable to rise from the ground.

Blood running from his wounds, he made Dustin promise to take care of "those little sheep" for him, referring to Hawkins High's outcasts. He told Jennifer that she was a good friend to him, and told her to tell Phoebe that he will always love her and enjoyed being with her, however Jennifer refused that and begged him to hold on, covering his wounds the best she could. Eddie remarked that with his death, he was finally graduating, and with his final breaths, he told the Henderson siblings that he loved them. Crying, Jennifer and Dustin told him they loved him, too, and with that, Eddie died in their arms.

The Beginning of the end

Two days later, Jennifer accepted Eddie's death as she, Steve, Robin, and Dustin work to help survivors of an earthquake that was caused when the gates were open. Since the earthquake left dozens of people homeless, Jennifer, Steve, Dustin and Robin arrived in Hawkins High School to see what they could do to help.

Jennifer and Dustin later found Wayne Munson putting up missing person posters in search of Eddie, following the opening of the gates which had caused what people believed to be an earthquake. Eddie's poster had been defaced by Satanic imagery, reflecting how the town still believed him to be connected to a satanic cult. She watched as Wayne Munson took down the vandalized poster and put up a new one. After watching him from a distance, Jennifer and Dustin approached Wayne and told him they had been with Eddie when the "earthquake" occurred. Jennifer then indirectly confirmed Eddie's death for him and handed Wayne Eddie's guitar pick. Between the guitar pick and the news that both Jennifer and Dustin had delivered, Wayne was left devastated. Jennifer tried to alleviate his grief through reassuring him that Eddie had died a hero, fighting valiantly for a town that hated him. The three then sat together as Wayne cried over the loss of his nephew. In the eyes of the townsfolk of Hawkins, Munson would forever remain known as a Satanist and a psychopathic murderer rather than what he truly was: a hero.

A few minutes later, the Party, their allies and the other Hawkins citizens witnessed unusual white particles falling down the sky, with the Party and their allies realizing that the Upside Down was beginning to invade the Earth through the Gates created by Vecna.

Trivia

it is unknown if Jennifer Henderson is bisexual, but has mentioned that she had "experimented", and had a "moment" with Phoebe in her first year of high school. However, it hasn't been confirmed.

In the original script(?), Jennifer was supposed be a teenager dealing with substance use and got in trouble with her parents, resulting in her moving to Hawkins and living with her Aunt Claudia Henderson and her cousin Dustin. But things were changed to her being adopted by the Henderson's from a previous family.

Jennifer is the only "victim" of Vecna's to be left unscathed, with the others' deaths being used to create gates.

Jennifer is Dustin's adopted older sister, making her the second character to be adopted besides Jane/Eleven Hopper.

Even though Max and Jennifer aren't related, they have a strong sisterly bond throughout season two and four even through to the point where Max is comatosed.

*spoiler* In the last episode of season four "The Piggyback", Jennifer suffers a fractured wrist and impaled with a shard of glass in the side.

The Series Midnight Rain is completed until season five gets released. However, there will more content related to Jennifer and her relationships (familial and non-familial) coming throughout the anticipated release of ST5.

In the early adaptation of Midnight Rain, Jennifer was supposed to be Steve Harrington's sister. Her original name was Brenda Harrington and would've turn out as bisexual, but was later changed since it felt better for the plot of Crazy For You (a Robin Buckley x fem!reader story).

Jennifer is the only character to have kissed/dated all the older male teens; Jonathan Byers, Steve Harrington, Billy Hargrove and Eddie Munson in Midnight Rain.

You think Nadia is having her birthday celebrated with annoying nobles? WRONG. She’s chilling with Fallons mom and siblings. Christmas time at the palace? Only if Fallons family is there! A random nice dinner? You better bet your ass even the little rascals of the family are there. “Aye, my sweet new daughter! 🫶” towards Nadia as Fallon stands in the corner weirdly proud but also with a strange hint of unwelcome jealousy? She’s more included in the family than Fallon is at some point and Fallon learns to accept this fate 😭

The first encounter pretty much goes as follows:

Iris (Fallons mom): so… you proposed to my daughter without my blessing… bold… you will have to work VERY hard to win my approval now, countess nad-

Nadia: *breathes*

Iris: :o you are perfect. I adopt you. You are going to be my little wittle daughter-in-law *smooch smooch* now, when are you guys giving me grandchildren? When’s the wedding? Will I be able to meet your Mama? Let me tell you about that one time when Fallon- “-ABSOLUTELY NOT. 🤬”

P.S Iris is like 4’11 so think of her tiny ass trying to be intimidating to an almost 5’11 Nadia (she completely succeeds bc she’s got that Angry Mom Mode but sTILL-)

Ever since Fallon moved into Nadia’s room she noticeably starts leaving her room in the morning later and later… Fallon is a chronic “just stay here 5 more minutes !!! ☹️” and Nadia can’t ever bring herself to say no. I mean, those nobles can wait, and oh god look at her she is so cute when she’s sleepy. The warm, safe cuddles make her really fight to not just abandon her plans for the day and stay in bed.

There are a few stories of the countess sneaking out at night with a sneaky Royal Magician. Why, you may ask. Because Nadia needs to experience life walking the streets of her own city without being countess. …and with a better disguise… giggles follow them everywhere as well as large tips to whatever places they go. Arguably one of the new best parts of their lives, Nadia feels free and like she’s learning something good through the experience, and Fallon is able to watch Nadia’s face while she experiences something new. Win-win situation.

They often find eachother napping on a random couch snuggled up with the others familiar. Despite insisting that she “doesn’t like dogs”, Nadia is quite fond of Pax, he is the only animal besides Chandra that will put Melchior and Mercedes in their places and keep them there. She will watch as Fallon directly stares her in the eyes and invites Pax onto the furniture (she knows better than to argue against it). Fallon just enjoys how smart Chandra is, nicknaming her “feathery Nadi”, and makes Chandra pinky promise to not tell Nadia she calls her that.

Their wedding is PACKED. You have the entire Satrinava family there, the entire Ramirez family there, all of their friends, nobles, family friends. They end up needing two, one for their enormous families and one for Vesuvia to witness.

Both of them are very “Don’t you DARE talk to/touch my wife like that >:(“. Nadia is Fallons greatest defender, and Fallon is hers. Nadia tends to do so by verbal methods whilst Fallon will (and has) swordfight someone. Her fists are rated E for Everyone That Causes A Fuckin Problem For My Wife. Fallon is not afraid to fight someone for the safety of her family and she won’t hide that. Anger both of them at the same time because you insulted them? You better run because you will not survive a simultaneous verbal AND physical ass beating.

Horse riding happens a lot more often, fun activities in general happen a lot more often. Laughter fills the hallways, Vesuvia is on the mend, Nadia is finally marrying someone who loves her. Nadia deserves fun and luckily for her Fallon is an expert Fun-Haver. Racing down the hallways, dancing in the rain, adrenaline inducing adventures during trips to other places, running through the city from guards that don’t know they are chasing the Countess and Magician. Fun! Happiness! What they deserve. Nadia will get dragged away if she’s been working too hard and/or too long just to do something a little more enriching.

Fallon teaches her Magic 🥺 Nadia picks it up quick and would honestly make a pretty good full-time magician if she didn’t have to worry abt all her other duties. Fallon walks in on her one time while she is playing around with it and making little sound effect noises. She was swiftly sworn to silence and to completely forget she witnessed that. (Fallon tells Nasrin and Namar during their little tea talks because- well- “look at how cute your daughter is ☹️”

freebird records was founded and created by Judith Grimes in mid 2020 and is a division of Campbell Worldwide Media. After the death of girlfriend and longtime friend, Hannah Monroe, Judith took time away from the spotlight, an unprecedented move considering her first album had just come out. During her hiatus, Judith was still making headlines after her brother Carlton overdosed in Amsterdam and she was the one who found him. Then again when she publicly called out Interscope Records for their mistreatment of her brother which resulted in her subsequent firing of her manager Elizabeth Harrington. Judith also left her former record label, Big Machine Records.

In July of 2020, it was reported that Judith had hired a new manager and a new publicist. Her new manager Imogen Keating confirmed this via an Instagram story of herself, Judith and Judith's new publicist Elodie Morgan. When news officially broke that Judith had amicably parted ways with Big Machine Records and that she was now stepping out to create her own label, Campbell Worldwide CEO Madeline Campbell-Rollins reached out directly to her team and offered to be the parent company. Initially Judith was wary of the idea, but after a few meetings with Madeline, Judith agreed to become a division of CWM. In late August, Judith made her late night show debut on Jimmy Fallon to discuss all of the changes to her life and her career. "So what... what prompted you to make all of these changes?" To which Judith responded: "I knew that eventually I wanted to create my own label, I definitely didn't think I'd be striking out on my own at eighteen but that's a whole other story. When I met with CWM, I was straightforward with them I told them that I understood what I was taking on and that it was a lot to ask for them to even support me but my goal was and is, to make a label that amplifies women's voices, LGBTQA plus voices, anyone who has been told no simply because of who they are. I wanted to be the one to say yes, to give them that chance to tell their stories. Especially in the south." Judith went on to acknowledge that she knew she was lucky to have such an accepting family, but that it isn't the case for everyone. "If they need support, I want to be the one to help them. After what happened with my brother earlier this year, and what has been happening to him at the hands of a label that only wanted money, I knew something had to change. I didn't want to see more young artists go through what Interscope but my brother through. Losing him would have killed me and I don't want other families of young and struggling artists to have that feeling."

freebird records has since signed more than a dozen artists across the country thanks to CWM having recording studios in nearly every state. Judith herself has released four albums under her record label: delicate, afterglow, something to remember and her latest album, a christmas album performed with her brother Carlton titled: a kingville christmas. Since releasing the albums under her own label, Judith's Spotify listeners have skyrocketed. Following 26.3 million after the release of delicate, Judith is currently sitting at 45.8 million after the release of something to remember. Judith is currently preparing for her 2024/2025 world tour, which currently remains unnamed but is set to begin in March of next year. She will also be joining her brother Carlton on his INTERSTELLAR RAVE tour in North America. "I'm excited to not only tour with my brother, but also do my own tour. I've never done a tour of my own so I can't wait to get out there and perform and meet all the fans who have stuck by me and supported me over the years."

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

In the most unsurprising turn of events... I got you all plants! The succulents and air plants were all raised at Lavender Lane, and put into arrangements by yours truly, and the jewelry was purchased from local sellers.

I : THE LOVERS’ MASK

A TALE CALLED THE MOON’S ANGUISH THAT HAS CIRCULATED ANCHORAGE FOR THE PAST SEVERAL DECADES HAS PROMPTED SOME YOUNG LOVERS TO EXCHANGE MASKS AS A PROMISE OF DEVOTION. WHAT DESIGN WOULD MUSE THEORETICALLY THINK FITS THEM?

It would probably be covered in pastel colors with a busy design, representing her loud, yet positive, personality.

SOME MIGHT CONSIDER THEM LEADING A DOUBLE LIFE IF THEY KNEW ABOUT…

There is not much Annaki hides about her life; she is a very upfront person, possibly to a fault. Lying is a task that even if they attempted, they can be seen right through. It's possible that their childhood and the evils faced within it would make some people question if there was more to her, as it doesn't seem to match the way she interacts with the world as an adult.

WHAT WOULD BE THEIR OWN DEAL BREAKER IN A RELATIONSHIP? WOULD THEY DIE FOR LOVE OR KILL FOR MONEY?

When Annaki falls in love, they are all in, which makes it difficult to name a deal breaker, as it would probably be possible for someone to talk their way out of any. Annaki could never kill any being. There has often been times when she has to leave the room when an animal needs euthanasia because she can't handle the procedure. Considering the amount of romantic movies they watch, dying for love would be much more plausible.

THEY ONLY HAVE ENOUGH CHANGE FOR ONE CALL AT THE PHONEBOOTH, & SOMEONE WITH GLARING RED EYES & A SPATULA IS STANDING ACROSS THE STREET. WHO WILL THEY CALL?

Either Atticus out of pure fear, and he tends to be the person who they call when fear strikes, or Fallon because they would trust she would be the one person they know who could definitely beat up the stranger.

II : THE ZEIGEIST OF THE ‘90S

THEIR FAVORITE SLASHER FILM IS (IF APPLICABLE)…

Horror is probably Annaki's least favorite genre, so she has know opinion regarding that.

IN THEIR FREE TIME, THEY ENJOY GOING OUT AND…

Shopping! Or if she is trying to save money, just getting to take Mochi out for a walk is always an enjoyable way to get out of the house.

A FASHION FAD OF THE TIMES THEY ADORE THAT THEIR FRIENDS WOULD DESPISE IS…

Lots of lace, ruffles, and bows. Possibly to an extreme degree.

HOW OFTEN DO THEY ORDER DELIVERY FROM PEPPY’S PIZZERIA? HAVE THEY EVER SEEN THE WALLS OOZE GREEN SLIME IN THE PIZZERIA OR THE ANIMATRONICS MOVE ON THEIR OWN DURING THEIR TIME IN ANCHORAGE?

Annaki doesn't order delivery too often. If she's already at home, she's more likely to make something herself, even if it is just a frozen meal. However, she does regularly go to Peppy's to pick up a slice after working if she's feeling it. She once thought she saw an animatronic move out of the corner of her eye when a show wasn't going on, but she just assumed she was seeing incorrectly.

WHEN THEY BELIEVED IN CHRISTMAS, WERE THEY TOLD KRAMPUS WOULD PAY THEM A VISIT FOR BEING ON THE NAUGHTY LIST?

N/A

WHAT TALL TALE OR SUPERSTITION WERE THEY TOLD AS A CHILD THAT STILL GIVES THEM THE HEEBIE JEEBIES?

Annaki tends to believe in any superstition she's told as she tends to be pretty gullible. One that has always creeped her out is if you knock an empty chair, it can bring an evil spirit into your body.

III : THE CURSE OF THE SPIDER

ARE THERE FAMILY SECRETS OR SO-CALLED CURSES THAT HAUNT THEM? ONES THAT ARE KNOWN PUBLICLY OR FOLLOW THEM FIGURATIVELY?

The past is probably the only thing that Annaki would say is haunting their family.

WHICH OF THE SEVEN SINS WOULD CORRUPT THEIR MORALS?

Probably sloth. If it wasn't for her animals, she would probably spend a lot more days in bed.

THE WORLD REMAINS THE SAME FOR DECADES NOW. IS IGNORANCE BLISS? OR IS THERE THE SHAKY SENSE SOMETHING IS AMISS THAT CAN’T BE IGNORED?

Ignorance is bliss. Her family is safe as far as she knows and she isn't going to go around poking questions when that's all she really needs in life.

DREAMS ARE OFTEN INFLUENCED BY THE SUBCONSCIOUS & SOMETIMES DISTORTED. IN THEIR DEEPEST, DARKEST NIGHTMARES, HOW DO THEY VIEW THEMSELVES?

That she doesn't stand up even when she knows injustices are happening. She's weak. When they were kids, she never tried to stop the things that were happening, that were hurting her siblings. If she did, would they have been harmed less? There will never be any way to know because she never did. She always runs and hides. And most of the time, she always runs to Atticus. But there's that feeling, that worry, that he doesn't feel that same protection from her because when did she ever display it when it came to their parents? In her worst nightmares, her siblings hold resentment over her for being weak, for not doing more.

IV : THE CROOKED FRAME

WHAT IS THEIR DEATH WISH ? MIROIRS ONLY (BASTARDS GANG INCLUDED): THE PERFECT CRIME WAS CONSTRUCTED & SOMEONE ELSE TOOK THEIR PLACE. HOW DID THEY ORIGINALLY DIE?

If she could control it, she would go in her sleep, without even being conscious to experience it.

MUSE COULDN’T BE THE ONE BEHIND THE TUNNEL OF LOVE OUTAGE BECAUSE WHEN THE POWER WENT OUT, THEY WERE…

Picking out a romantic comedy to watch and pouring herself a glass of wine.

WHAT WOULD THEY CONSIDER THEIR CALLING CARD (I.E. WHAT SYMBOLS, PERSONAL MEMENTOS, ETC. DO THEY PERCEIVE AS REPRESENTATIVE OF THEMSELVES)?

The color pink. Most symbols related to dogs. Warm hugs.

THOSE WITH INTERMEDIATE TECHNICAL SKILLS HAVE USED CRACKS & VPNS TO IMPROVE THE INTERNET CONNECTION, BUT ANYTHING POST-DATING THE 1990S IS ONLY ACCESSIBLE THROUGH THE DARK WEB. HAS MUSE EVER ACCESSED THE DARK WEB? HAVE THEY USED IT FOR ANY NEFARIOUS MEANS OR TO PURCHASE SERVICES?

No, Annaki doesn't have the skills to access the dark web and hasn't really had any reason to, so it isn't exactly something she concerns herself with.

TASK #2

MATEVOS HAKOBYAN

I : THE LOVERS' MASK

A TALE CALLED THE MOON'S ANGUISH THAT HAS CIRCULATED ANCHORAGE FOR THE PAST SEVERAL DECADES HAS PROMPTED SOME YOUNG LOVERS TO EXCHANGE MASKS AS A PROMISE OF DEVOTION. WHAT DESIGN WOULD MUSE THEORETICALLY THINK FITS THEM ( LOOK BACK TO REVENGE OF KRAMPUS FOR REFERENCE, #ANCHORTASK01 ON OUR SERVER ) ?

A wolf mask. https://i.pinimg.com/originals/ad/67/70/ad6770007725705fa6f832316b07e9a9.jpg

SOME MIGHT CONSIDER THEM LEADING A DOUBLE LIFE IF THEY KNEW ABOUT ... 

Matevos never having been in England once in his entire life, yet pretends he’s from Oxford. 

WHAT WOULD BE THEIR OWN DEAL BREAKER IN A RELATIONSHIP ? 

Dishonesty. Especially after Anka. 

WOULD THEY DIE FOR LOVE OR KILL FOR MONEY ?

Neither. Matevos has no interest in dying for someone else even if he loves them dearly, nor would he ever kill for money. If he dies it will be because it’s his time or because he has no other choice, if he kills it will be to protect himself or to protect others.

THEY ONLY HAVE ENOUGH CHANGE FOR ONE CALL AT THE PHONEBOOTH, & SOMEONE WITH GLARING RED EYES & A SPATULA IS STANDING ACROSS THE STREET. WHO WILL THEY CALL ?

Either Fallon or his colleague. He knows both will have the means to come and get him. @conkniving

II : THE ZEIGEIST OF THE '90S

THEIR FAVOURITE SLASHER FILM IS ( IF APPLICABLE ) …

Nightmare on Elm Street

IN THEIR FREE TIME, THEY ENJOY GOING OUT AND ... 

Walking around the park hoping to pet random dogs or run into people he knows.

A FASHION FAD OF THE TIMES THEY ADORE THAT THEIR FRIENDS WOULD DESPISE IS …

What is fashion? You’re talking to the guy who barely washes his hair and if he does it sometimes is with dog shampoo. His best piece of clothing is his white doctor’s jacket. 

HOW OFTEN DO THEY ORDER DELIVERY FROM PEPPY'S PIZZERIA ? HAVE THEY EVER SEEN THE WALLS OOZE GREEN SLIME IN THE PIZZERIA OR THE ANIMATRONICS MOVE ON THEIR OWN DURING THEIR TIME IN ANCHORAGE ?

Never, Matevos has vowed to avoid that place after someone told him about it. 

WHEN THEY BELIEVED IN CHRISTMAS, WERE THEY TOLD KRAMPUS WOULD PAY THEM A VISIT FOR BEING ON THE NAUGHTY LIST ? ( WRITE N/A IF NOT APPLICABLE TO THEIR RELIGION OR LIFESTYLE )

N/A

WHAT TALL TALE OR SUPERSTITION WERE THEY TOLD AS A CHILD THAT STILL GIVES THEM THE HEEBIE JEEBIES ?

That there are always monsters between the walls of apartments. He thought he’d left it behind but when he moved into Seal Apartments, he was reintroduced to the superstition. 

III : THE CURSE OF THE SPIDER

ARE THERE FAMILY SECRETS OR SO-CALLED CURSES THAT HAUNT THEM ? ONES THAT ARE KNOWN PUBLICLY OR FOLLOW THEM FIGURATIVELY ?

Matevos has managed to keep his original’s family life a secret, speaking often in vagueness. The only curse that he feels like might follow him, is the one where he fears ending up like his father, and the father before him. 

WHICH OF THE SEVEN SINS WOULD CORRUPT THEIR MORALS ?

Greed.

THE WORLD REMAINS THE SAME FOR DECADES NOW. IS IGNORANCE BLISS ? OR IS THERE THE SHAKY SENSE SOMETHING IS AMISS THAT CAN'T BE IGNORED ? 

Something is always amiss, but everyone always wants to ignore it. 

DREAMS ARE OFTEN INFLUENCED BY THE SUBCONSCIOUS & SOMETIMES DISTORTED. IN THEIR DEEPEST, DARKEST NIGHTMARES, HOW DO THEY VIEW THEMSELVES ?

As someone who lies to everyone around him, to a point where he cannot tell if he’s being honest with himself anymore. Or if he knows how to. 

IV : THE CROOKED FRAME

WHAT IS THEIR DEATH WISH ? MIROIRS ONLY ( BASTARDS GANG INCLUDED ) : THE PERFECT CRIME WAS CONSTRUCTED & SOMEONE ELSE TOOK THEIR PLACE. HOW DID THEY ORIGINALLY DIE ?

Matevos would like to die gently, possibly in his sleep, at an old age. His original died in the dead of winter, after his car got stranded, he went out to get help, slipped, and hit his head on a downward slope, where he slowly fell asleep never to wake up. 

MUSE COULDN'T BE THE ONE BEHIND THE TUNNEL OF LOVE OUTAGE BECAUSE WHEN THE POWER WENT OUT, THEY WERE ... 

On his way back from the carnival all by himself.

WHAT WOULD THEY CONSIDER THEIR CALLING CARD ( I.E. WHAT SYMBOLS, PERSONAL MEMENTOS, ETC. DO THEY PERCEIVE AS REPRESENTATIVE OF THEMSELVES ) ? 

Dogs.

THOSE WITH INTERMEDIATE TECHNICAL SKILLS HAVE USED CRACKS & VPNS TO IMPROVE THE INTERNET CONNECTION, BUT ANYTHING POST-DATING THE 1990S IS ONLY ACCESSIBLE THROUGH THE DARK WEB. HAS MUSE EVER ACCESSED THE DARK WEB ? HAVE THEY USED IT FOR ANY NEFARIOUS MEANS OR TO PURCHASE SERVICES ?

Yes, he has and he does so mostly to see what he can do with it, not even to actually purchase anything or to find anything in particular, but just to keep his skills up. 

[hoaxwings]

starter for @indurable​

Ever since there little jail stint and realizing they shared someone in common Sev hadn’t seen JD again. He didn’t think twice about it because the holidays had fallen among them and he figured the male was out spending the days with his family or even with Fallon. The latter would’ve been preferred considering how he himself had needed to take just some time to recollect himself. His absence hadn’t been all driven by one person. It had been several that had drove him into isolation. The whitelighter just needed some time to regroup and think about how he was going to handle everything. Also brush up on his dos and don’ts. So it was a pleasant surprise when he saw the other male this morning, walking around and doing -- seemingly well. “Have you had any other jail nights within the last couple of weeks? -- or get coal for Christmas?” He asked, as he made his presence known to the other.
