He had no idea why such a preppy cheerleader approached his selling spot. He was smart , it was on the opposite end of where his safehouse was. Near the woods..no people just passing by. Perfect for his buisness. It was a little hunting cabin. He never hid in it , just sat on the ladder , smoking a cigarette. “ Good Morning , Little  Mademoiselle. What can i do for you?” His accent thick , entirely unheared of in this part of the country...let alone Hawkins.

Travis had kept to himself the past couple years..only going out when he needed to...getting groceries very early so that people didnt see him much. Though today was different..Pool Season was over and he had a buffer where he had little to no work. Bored out of his mind he made his was over to the store , absendmindedly putting stuff in his cart. His eyes drifting...until he saw him. Something...something about this guy reminded him of someone. The eyes...the nose...the chin , he really had to stare at him for a good 5 minutes before he realized.... “Holy....shit..”

She remembered this boy...from way back when. When Sir Hargreeves was parading around his ...superhero children and all the comics came out. She always wondered where he had gone...as he ...sort of disappeared after a while. Though here he stood. In this gallery...looking just as young as he did back then. It was more than obvious that she was starring...she couldn’t wrap her head around it. Only thing getting her out of that Trance was the boy actually approaching her. “ Sorry ...what?”

She looked up from her notepad at the other. A simple smile flashing at him. It was like a sense of dread seeped into every pore when he entered the room. A darkness...a danger that excudes from him. “ What can i do for you?” She asked , seeing as it was the other who entered the room with his ..entourage.

Gloved hands gently placed on the table infront of him , he lets out a long sigh. “ Your outbursts of agression won’t get you far in here. So i suggest you sit down and we can talk about this like adults.” If eyes could kill Raphaels would surely decapitate the other in this very moment.

“You have to understand him..he took care fo you his entire life. To him you’re always gonna be a young kid. He’s still in protector mode.” She adds with a laugh. “ I mean to me you’re always gonna be cute little baby but i also can see that you’re growing up to be a strong young man. You just have to prove to Dean that you don’t need a protector and you can look after yourself....”

It hadn’t been long since Travis had escaped the lab...he already took on a new name...not wanting to be identified with ‘Four’ . And as hard as he tried to hide his identity it was almost like his heart stopped seeing the other....the looked over now but...it was clearly him. “...Three.” He whispered to himself under his breath. 

She had heard of the other before. Heard people being mean to him as he was...well a little bit out of the ordinary here. So when she saw him accidentaly drop his wallet she had to take in all her bravery to pick it up and approach the guy. “ H-” She cleared her throat quietly. “ Erm...Sorry you..er..Dropped your wallet.”
