Hawkins, Indiana 1984
The Byers' House
Right after the closing of the gate...
"Mike, do you mind not stepping away from the window, I we want to see too," squeaked Dustin while trying to squeeze past his friend.
"Fine, but tell me if you see Hopper and El pull up, I want to be the first one to see El when she gets back" said Mike agitatedly.
"Yeah, yeah," Dustin said as he pushed Mike away from the window so he can look out instead.
Steve, Mike, Dustin, Lucas, and Max had been back from the tunnels for well over an hour. Joyce, Jonathan, and Nancy had arrived back at the house about thirty minutes after they'd gotten back. It was 12:43pm and everyone was tired, except for Mike. Sure, everyone wanted to see El, but everyone had a rough couple of days and needed some much deserved sleep. It was another thirty or so minutes until Mike had heard the tell-tale sound of the Chiefs Trailblazer in the distance. Mike sprung from his seat on the couch (which was now up against the wall where the window was due to the drawings everywhere) and turned around in his seat to look at the driveway. Once the Blazer was in Mikes eyesight, he shot off of the couch and ran out the door, slamming it behind him (waking the Party, Joyce, and Jonathan up from their slumber.
"El!," Mike yelled as they ran for each other. But on the way to Mike, El started to fall out of lack of energy from closing the gate. Mike noticed this and before she could hit the ground, Mike caught her in his arms and sat her in his lap. "I've missed, so much El, so much," he said, crying into the top of the El's head. "I've missed you too," El mumbled, fading in and out of consciousness.
Hopper walked up to them and grumbled a displeased response, "can you carry her or do I need to?," questioned Hopper as he squatted down to the two teens' level. "No sir, I got her," he said quickly as he put one arm under her upper back and the other behind her knees. He slowly laid her down gently on the couch he had previously been sitting on before the two arrived. Mike lowered himself to her level while also grasping her hand.
"Hey kid, you want something to eat, I heard you kids haven't had anything for two days," Hopper said, leaning over the boy. "Yeah, that would be nice, thanks Chief," he said to the older man without removing his eyes from El's resting face. "Alright kid, you okay to keep an eye on her," he joked, obviously knowing that Mike would sit with her all night. The boy just nodded but kept staring at her gorgeous face, mesmerized.
A few minutes later, Hopper came back to the living room with a plate of Eggos and some OJ. "I made six of the waffles so when El gets up she can have three too," he said while ruffling both of the kids hair at the same time.
After Mike ate his waffles and drank his juice, he finally stood up from his spot next to El. He walked into the kitchen where Joyce and Hopper were talking about how Will was doing.
"He hasn't woken up yet Hop, I think it's for the best though, he's had hell of a night," Joyce said, then taking a long drag out of Hopper's cigarette, causing her to partake in a coughing fit. "Yeah he's been through two types of hell. I think he's had enough hell for a life time," he said, chuckling to himself.
Hopper noticed Mike walk into the kitchen and joked on him about finally pulling away from Eleven.
"Hey, I was wondering, how is Will doing?," he asked timidly. "I think he's still asleep sweetie, you can go check on him if you'd like?," Joyce said with a smile. "Okay, I'll check on him," Mike replied.
He walked down the hall to the last door on the right, which was Will's room. He slowly opened the door to see Will, sitting up on the side of his bed, with a Demo-dog sitting in front of him wagging it's tail. Mike screamed so lud it woke up the rest of the party and El from their sleep. Everyone rushed into Will's room to see nothing.
"What's the matter Mike?," Joyce asked as she was the first to enter Will's room. "Will? What are you doing?," she asked, looking back and forth between the two boys. "T-There was a-a Demo-dog s-sitting in front of h-him," he stuttered, not taking his eyes off his best friend. "What!?," Mrs. Byers exclaimed, rushing over to her youngest son. "Did it hurt you? Where did it go? Will?," she shouted while shaking him.
Will began to open his mouth to speak but was cut short by Eleven who still looked tired but she pushed past the boys and stood next to Joyce and Hopper and said something that made Joyce's eyes go wide. "Will has powers..."
So, I hope you enjoyed! Next chapter will be out sometime either tomorrow or the day after that. Im not going to directly say all of Will's powers, but I will say that the title will explain one of them. I won't go into details, but 'Zombie-boy' will be a power of his.
Hope you enjoyed and I'll talk to ya in the next chapter!
