A little bit ago, I opened up the floor for you guys to ask the characters of this story anything you'd like. These are their responses! Also, about the question somebody asked that was directed at everyone, I wasn't sure if they meant the party or everyone so on a whim I did it for everyone that's listed in the cast cause I thought it be fun ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[Holy crap, this was a lot more fun than I anticipated, I definitely want to do this again in the future! Thank you to everyone who participated and I hope I did okay!]

Y/n Henderson:

Q: Are you okay? Like sincerely. Because I love you soo much hon.

A: I got to be honest, I've been better. I'm mostly just under a lot of stress. I'm really worried about Will, this was the worst episode he's ever had, at least that I know of and he's being really secretive. Plus there's something else on my mind, and it's really weighing me down and I'm not even allowed to talk about it... Uh, forget about that last part? Anyways, thank you for asking, that's very sweet of you!

Q: question for y/n, do you like anyone because I ship you and mike

A: Ship? I'm guessing that means who you want me to be with? Well, sorry to disappoint but I don't really feel that way about Mike. He is pretty cute I guess, and he can be pretty sweet when he wants to. But again, I still don't really see him that way. Regardless, him and El have a thing for each other. And well, I'm far too worried about Will right now to think about that stuff, ya know? Speaking of Will, I really hope he's okay. He's always so sweet, and kind, and funny. And he's so creative, but most importantly he's incredibly nice to me and- Uh, you know what? It's fine, never mind, it was stupid, it's nothing. *ahem* Next question? Anyone?

Q: I'm wondering your opinion on all the characters! I feel like it would be fun to know

A: Well, um let's see. There's Dustin, my brother. He can be too much sometimes, ya know? And he's always correcting me which drives me insane! But, at the end of the day, he's a good guy, and he's always there when I need him. He's always been really supportive and understanding about where I came from. He's never upset whenever I'm curious about all that, which I really appreciate.

Then there's Lucas, he's great. He's like a second brother to me. Stubborn and annoying as all hell, but always there when I need him. He is also protective of me. All the boys are really, which I also appreciate, but I can take care of myself. His little sister is awesome, I've met her several times and their dynamic reminds me a lot of me and Dustin.

Mike, well again, I'm glad our fight is over. Differences aside, he's extremely loyal, though I have noticed that when he is passionate about someone or something, he tends to blind himself and begin to neglect others. A big reason why the two of us clash more often than others.

Then there's El, she's really sweet and shy, I don't blame her though. In fact, I often feel guilty, I mean, I can't help but feel like I was the lucky one who got out of the lab and we probably would have lead the same lives, she might even have had me there but she grew up all alone in that lab. She never deserved any of that...

Max, the new girl? I like her. She's really cool and easy to talk to, and I have to admit, it's really refreshing to have another friend who's a girl. I just wish she knew about everything going on because I hate keeping secrets from her. Way back when, I was in her shoes. Dustin was a bit reluctant introducing me to his new friends being the protective brother he is. But I befriended Will and he helped me convince Dustin and the rest is history.

Speaking of Will, he's my best friend. He's the sweetest guy I know and he's crazy talented. He's always giving me pictures he drew, usually our DnD characters together, I love them! I've kept every single picture he's ever given me, and I have most of them hanging up on my wall, the rest are in an old metal lunchbox to keep them safe. I really, really like him. And I know he likes me too, but I don't know, I guess we've both been taking it slow. What with everything's that been going on.

Steve Harrington, I used to think little of him, but then I heard that he ditched those so called friends of his and how he's been cleaning up his act which I think is cool. I know he's friendly with Jonathan now which is also cool. I've ran into him a few times at Mike's house and he actually seems pretty nice. I really admire that he's trying to be a better person!

Nancy, she seems a lot more laid back which is reliving. She's a lot more like how she used to be around us which is nice. We all went through some pretty intense things last year and I think a lot of changed for the better, Nancy included.

Jonathan, who I've always looked up to, he's pretty great. I'd see him a lot whenever I would go to Will's house and he has been nice enough to drive me and Will places which I appreciate. But I do notice he's always giving me and Will looks now, I'm sure he knows by now that I kissed Will that night in the hospital and besides, I feel like he's always been hoping me and Will would get together but I guess that's something all brothers do: tease.

They're mom is kind of the same way, she's always happy to see me and Will hanging out. I love Mrs. Byers! She's become like a second mom to me over the years, she always has snacks for me to eat when I'm over and she always remembers what's been going on in my life. She's very kind and attentive, it's always nice to see her.

Her new boyfriend Bob seems really nice. Will has always been sensitive and elusive about his dad and I remember meeting his dad once or twice when we were younger. He was always brash and rude but Bob seems the complete opposite. He seems nice and kinda dorky but in a good way I guess. He definitely seems to make Mrs. Byers happy and Will talks about him occasionally, which is nice to hear.

Chief Hopper, I think he's cool. I was definitely unsure about how seriously he would take Will's missing case, and I did not have much faith in him. But he really came through for all of us and he was really the only one that cared enough and I'm pretty sure he did a lot of things outside his pay grade to help find Will. Not to mention he rescued us from the bad men last year. I was scared to death, I didn't know if they were going to take me away from my family and try to write me off as another missing kid but the chief came to our rescue and saved us. After that, he's earned my trust. But I haven't seen him around all that much since last year, which I guess is a good thing. But with the way things are getting, I can't help but feel like we might be seeing him soon...

Oh yeah, I guess that leaves Billy. I already didn't like him based off of what Max told me, but then he tried to run me and my friends over, so no I'm not fond of him.

Q: What do you think'd happen to you if you weren't adopted?

A: Gosh, well to be honest I think about that a lot. I think I might have ended up like El. And that really scares me honestly. I have no idea how I got here. I know I must be from the lab but I have no idea how I escaped. It's something that I've been thinking about a lot lately...

Q: What's it like being Dustin's sister?

A: Dustin is a great brother. He's annoying, and persistent and he corrects me all the time, but he also really cares about me and is always looking out for me and I'm so grateful to have him as a brother. Maybe don't tell him I said that? He would hold against me for the rest of my life

Q: Do you have a secret crush on mike because i have read all the chapters and i can tell it feels like this.... ESPECIALLY THE LAST CHAPTER 😂 (i know it's stupid i don't even know why i ship y/n with mike)

A: Wow, um, again, I'm not really interested in him that way, sorry to disappoint. I am really glad I have my friend back, though. He's like a brother to me, so that's why I was so upset when we were fighting. Again, it's nice to be back on good terms again.

Q: will or dustin?

A: You want me to choose between my crush and my brother?? I gues- no. Well? Yeah no. Sorry I can't do it. I choose both, if that's an option!

Q: a question-well, more like dare-for Y/n and Will. Can you guys kiss 😂 PLEASE😸

A: I, I uh, I don- Uhhh

Q: WILL AND Y/N, ON A SCALE OF 1-11(Pun FULLY intended), HOW MUCH DO YOU LOVE EACH OTHER?

A: *blushes* W-well, I don't thin- I, uh, um can- Can I have some water?

Will Byers:

Q: WILL AND Y/N, ON A SCALE OF 1-11(Pun FULLY intended), HOW MUCH DO YOU LOVE EACH OTHER?

A: 11- what? sorry- what?

Q: a question-well, more like dare-for Y/n and Will. Can you guys kiss 😂 PLEASE😸

A: *chokes*

Q: if you could go back in time to when you got kidnapped would you change it?

A: That's a really tough question. I hated everything I went through that week. I was terrified and I honestly didn't think I'd make it out. But on the other hand, when I came back, Y/n seemed different. A good different. She returned my feelings. But I have no idea if that had anything to do with me being gone. I guess, to answer your question, I wouldn't want to be gone nearly as long.

Q: Will, do you like Y/n?

A: Y/n? Like her? Um, gosh uh, well... Yeah. I really do. She's my best friend and she's just really incredible. I'm really lucky she likes me back. At least, I think she does... Why, did she say anything?

Q: To Will, Pewdiepie or T-Series?

A: I- I don't really know what any of that is, I'm sorry.

Q: question for everyone. What do you think of y/n? As in a person

A: Well, she's great. Again, she's my best friend, apart from the guys. We have always been extra close, we get along really well. Although, to be honest, I'm really worried for her at the moment...

Q: to will, *WILL* you marry me? Jkjk uNlEsS

A: Well, umm, I'm twelve. And I don't think I really need another reason, but I'm flattered. Thanks, though?

Dustin Henderson:

Q: question for everyone. What do you think of y/n? As in a person

A: She always hogs the TV, which is so annoying. And whenever she isn't, she off somewhere with Byers which is also annoying. But as much as I hate to admit it, she's a really nice person. Way too good for anybody if you ask me. And I mean, having a sister with superpowers??? That's pretty freaking cool if you ask me. But powers and sibling quarrels aside, she's one of my best friends... Don't let her know I said that?

Q: How would you feel about Will and your sister dating?

A: Well, it was one thing when I found out Will liked my sister. I mean, it's Will! And Y/n! But then after a lot of thought, I realized something. Nobody is ever gonna be good enough for my sister. But, if there was ever a second best person, it would be Will. He obviously cares about her and she seems to really like him so, I guess I lucked out. She did actually. But ugh, it's still weird though. As long as I don't have to ever see anything, then I'm good.

Lucas Sinclair:

Q: question for everyone. What do you think of y/n? As in a person

A: Well, she's pretty cool. Especially that awesome explosion thing she did last year. It's pretty crazy figuring our one of your best friends is from a secret government lab with powers. But she was still cool even before we found out all about that. She's still the same fun and witty person.

Mike Wheeler:

Q: What did we do to you? We want to help Will asshole! Sorry but we wanted to help him in both scenarios

A: Woah, woah, woah! Look, I'm not trying to be an asshole here, I'm trying to help Will too. He just needed to talk to me in that moment, and I guess he didn't want to worry Y/n. He's got a lot on his mind and I was just trying to respect his wishes. And I guess I was extra harsh to he'd cause I felt... guilty? I don't know if that makes sense. But I got defense when I probably shouldn't have.

...I guess I can't really blame her though, if I were in her position I would be mad too, and I know she just wants him to be okay... We all do.

Q: Just a small question umm..... IF El were still alive, what would you do and do you believe she is still out there?

A: I really do think she's out there. She's so strong and way smarter than people give her credit for. And I can't help but feel like she's heard me. I know, it's crazy but I sometimes I feel like she's reaching out to me. But she hasn't given me a sign, so I don't know what to think anymore.

Q: to mike, i understand that you lost el and everything but why do you feel the need to be a jerk all the time?? of course you want to protect your friends but does that mean you have to be mad at the world all the time?

A: I guess it's a defense mechanism? I've just been carrying this feeling for such a long time, it's been getting harder to cope with it.

Q: Mike~ what happened to you? why are you so bitter? I miss who you used to be :(

A: I'm sorry, okay? I'm really sorry. I just miss El so much, and I'm really worried about Will and it's really taking a lot out of me.

Q: Mike, y u be such a b itch to Y/N? She did nothing wrong!

A: Look, again, I'm not trying to be a bad person, I was just doing what Will asked. I'm not gonna go into more because, me and Y/n seemed to have worked it out. And the most important thing right now is that we help Will.

Q: who can make you smile no matter how bad you feel?

A: El. Although I've been feeling bad for a while now because El's gone.

El:

Q: question for everyone. What do you think of y/n? As in a person

A: She is a good friend. I'm glad I saw her. But, I feel bad. She's in danger because of me. Hopper is already mad at me. I hope he doesn't track her down.

Q: don't worry about Mike, he's a prick

A: Prick? What is prick?

Max Mayfield:

Q: question for everyone. What do you think of y/n? As in a person

A: To be honest, I wasn't sure about her. At first. I mean, she hung out with those stalkers all the time but then she introduced herself and more than proved she didn't have anything to do with their creepy behavior, and she really seems genuine. My point is, she's pretty cool. And she's the first and so far, only real friend I've made here. Hell, there aren't even people like her back in California. And I can tell she's really trying to reign in Mike and the others and let me in the group, which I appreciate. But I can't help but shake the feeling that she's hiding something...

Billy Hargrove:

Q: question for everyone. What do you think of y/n? As in a person

A: Who? *flicks cigarette on the ground*

Steve Harrington:

Q: question for everyone. What do you think of y/n? As in a person

A: That name sounds familiar. I think Nancy has mentioned her, a friend of Mike's, right? Yeah, now that I think about it I've run into her a few times when I was over at Nancy's. I don't know much about her, you know given she's like what? I thirteen year old girl and I'm a seventeen year old guy in high school. Yeah, don't know her that well, but she seems cool I guess?

Nancy Wheeler:

Q: question for everyone. What do you think of Y/n? As in a person

A: I've known her for quite a while. Given that she's always over here with rest of Mike's friends, but I don't mind. She's definitely one of Mike's more tolerable friends, her and her brother Dustin both are. She seems nice and I'm glad Mike has a friend like her. She's a good influence on him. And he could definitely use it.

Jonathan Byers:

Q: question for everyone. What do you think of Y/n? As in a person

A: I like her. She's always super polite when she's over, always thanking me for rides whenever I'm driving her and Will somewhere. Will never shuts up about her, and she really seems to make him happy, and that's all I really care about.

Joyce Byers:

Q: question for everyone. What do you think of Y/n? As in a person

A: Y/n? Oh, I just love her. She's always so polite and considerate whenever she's over, she's a real sweetheart. And I know how happy she makes Will. He's been kinda weird about her lately though, ever since his episodes...

Q: how do u feel about Will's relationship towards y/n and how much more mature he is being on the situation?

A: I can't express how happy I am that Will has her. And, and vice versa. It is so cute, he is always so giddy when it comes to her. She's clearly very important to him. Before Y/n came into our lives, Will was a lot quieter, only really opened up to specific people when they put in the time. I've always gotten the sense that he tends to blend into the background with his friends, and just doesn't really know how to speak up for himself, but with Y/n? She has brought him out of his shell and she always makes sure he can be heard. And the trouble my family has gone through, well she's been there for us and is always willing to lend a hand and offer her support. That's one of the reasons why I'm so grateful they found each other.

Jim Hopper:

Q: question for everyone. What do you think of is Y/n? As in a person.

A: The Henderson girl? Yeah I know her. She seems like a good kid. El speaks highly of her. She was definitely the easiest to work with out of Will's friends. And now that she knows about El, I can't help but worry. The kid doesn't really know it yet, but she's in a lot more danger than I thought...

Bob Newby:

Q: question for everyone. What do you think of Y/n? As in a person

A: Well, I've only met her a few times, but she seems like she's got a good head on her shoulders. And the way Will talks about her, jeez louise, he sure likes her! In fact, it reminds me of how I feel about Joyce. It sure is sweet. And I really admire what she did for Will on that tape from Halloween. That was really something. She's very admirable.

Author:

Q: What inspired you to write the protagonist of this story by the way she is now?

A: I certainly don't mind being asked questions, I'm actually really flattered! And I'm assuming you mean Y/n? Well, as much as I want to, it is pretty much impossible for any 'x reader' author to capture the likeness of EVERYONE so I just always try to think about what the fans would most likely do if we were in this story. Like how Y/n befriended El, and Max, as the only girl in a group of boys, (which is why I'm especially excited to write season 3!) But to answer your question, she has definitely evolved I think, and it's mostly from her recent experiences. Ever since she found out about her powers, she's never really been the same. That's not something you can just ignore, and move on from obviously. So this season is her really just trying to continue her life as much as she can while also struggling to accept this side of herself that she just uncovered. And no matter how much she loves her life, family and friends, she still can't quite wonder where she comes from...
