Chapter 4: The Body (edited)
Upstairs, Eleven enters her room and closes the door locking it behind her. She walks over to the window and see Five staring at her from the other side. She opens it and let's him in. Five looks at his surroundings. It's like Mike's room but cleaner and not as much collectibles.
Eleven: This is my room, it's not much but it's something.
Five looks at a corner and points at it.
Five: Tent?
Eleven: We don't have time or supplies to set one up.
Five: Then where do I sleep?
Eleven: The bed is big enough for the both of us. Can you face the corner please I need to change.
Five: Change?
Eleven: I'm not gonna sleep in the same clothes we biked miles in, just face the corner, I don't want to pull a you.
Five does as he's told and goes in the corner, facing it as Jane changes to her pajamas.
Once she's done she tells him.
She hops in her bed as Five stays where he is.
Eleven: What's wrong?
Five: Are you mad at me?
Eleven: I'm not mad, just sad. I feel like there more to this then you're letting us in on.
Five: I don't know how to describe it.
Eleven: It's okay.
Five then turns on the walkie again this time he turns to a channel where he can hear the static. Eleven confused ready to ask him what he's doing as his nose begins to bleed and a voice comes through.
Will: So come on and let me know
Eleven gasps as she hears his voice. Believing he was dead a few moments ago and now hearing his voice as if it's in real time.
Will: Should I stay or should I go. Should I stay or should I go now.
Jane hops out of the bed and rushes over to Five who hands her the walkie.
Will: If I go there will be trouble.
Will continues to sing as Eleven grabs the radio and tries to speak to him.
Eleven: Will is that you, it's Eleven copy, over.
Static
Eleven: Will are you there?
Static.
Eleven: Will!
More static.
Eleven gives up and turns to the boy.
Eleven: Was that...was that Will?
He nods.
Five: Will
-------
A knock on the door brings attention to Eleven. She springs up and turns to see Five who has his back turned to her asleep. She softly shakes him awake.
Eleven: Hurry and get in the closet, I'll tell you when the coast is clear. Five complies and hides inside the closet and using his powers to unlock the door before Terry began to open it.
Terry: Jane, are you okay sweetie?
Jane: I'm fine mom.
Terry then sits at the end of the bed.
Terry: Did you hear the news?
Eleven nods her head attempting to act sad.
Jane: I don't think I can go to school today.
Terry gives her daughter a nod.
Terry: It's okay sweetie, you can stay here. Just...just don't unlock the door okay.
Eleven nods.
Terry: Becky will be back around 8 tonight. Are you sure you're gonna be alright here by yourself?
Jane nods again.
Terry: Well if you need anything you can call and I'll be here as soon as I can okay.
Terry leans over and kisses her daughter on the forehead before leaving the room. Bye sweetie.
Once the door is closed Jane waits until she hears her mother's car start up. She leaps off her bed and grabs her walkie.
Eleven: Mike, Lucas. Do you guys copy? Come on guys I know you're there.
No answer.
Eleven: Guy this is urgent I swear. I'm not gonna stop till either of you answer.
No answer. Eleven sighs and takes a deep breath.
Eleven: Mike, Lucas, Mike, Lucas, Mike, Lucas, Mike, Lucas, Mike, Lucas.
Lucas: Go away Jane
Mike: Please stop talking. I'm not in the mood alright.
Lucas: Over and out.
Eleven: No not out. I'm not messing around guys, okay. This is about Will, over.
Lucas: What about Will? You mean about his funeral?
Eleven: No not his funeral, screw his funeral.
Mike: What?!
Eleven: Mike we're meeting at your place. And get Dustin, over and out.
Eleven ends the call and opens the door face to face with Five who stands a few inches taller.
Eleven: Can you go downstairs for a sec. I'll be down there soon.
Five steps out walking outside the room.
Five: Change?
Eleven: Yes. Get ready cause once we're outside we're headed for Mike's.
-------
The duo ride to Mike's house the find the trios bikes outside the basement. No adult, no Nancy only them. Jane and Five runs through the door to find Mike, Dustin and Lucas sitting at the D&D table.
Mike: What's this urgent message you want to tell us about.
Eleven walks over and slams her walkie on the table.
Eleven: He found Will last night with my walkie.
Lucas: What?
Eleven: Five found Will with my walkie last night.
Dustin: That's impossible, we saw his body.
Mike: Maybe you just tapped into someone elses radio.
Eleven: I know Will's voice when I hear it. Plus he was singing that song.
Eleven grabs her walkie and hands it to Five.
Eleven: Can you do what you did last night, find Will?
Five: I can't try.
Five walks over to the makeshift tent Mike made and sat down, going back to the static channel on the radio and closed his eyes trying to find Will. Every now and then they hear a whine but nothing else.
Eleven: You guys heard that right.
Lucas: Yeah. I heard a baby.
Eleven: What?
Mike: You obviously tapped into the Blackburns baby moniter.
Eleven: That was Will it wasn't a baby.
Lucas: El.
Eleven: Guys, you don't understand, he spike last night, he was singing that stupid song he likes.
Mike: If the weirdo heard it. Then I guess...
Dustin: Are you sure your on the right channel?
Eleven: I don't think it's abiut that. I think somehow he's channeling him.
Dustin: Like Professor X.
Mike: Yeah.
Lucas: Are you actually believing this crap?
Eleven: Guy listen. I don't know what we saw last night, but I know Will is alive and he's still out there. We just gotta get Five to a stronger radio.
Dustin: Mr. Clarke's Heathkit Ham Shack.
Lucas: The Heathkit is at school. No way we can sneak him in, I mean look at him.
Mike suddenly springs to his feet and rushes upstairs. Dustin being the quick thinker he is rushes upstairs with Mike.
Eleven: Lucas, just trust me on this. I know Will is alive, just trust me.
Lucas: Jane we saw Will's body.
Eleven: I know but I heard Will, Five said the bad men are after him. If these bad men gave Five his powers who knows what they'll do to cover it up, what if they got to Will and faked his death.
Lucas is skeptical but Eleven made a point. Lucas had to use his brain focus in on the logistics of this situation.
Five, who said he doesn't know his parents is, has powers to move things with his mind and he has bad men chase after us.
Lucas: What if they find us hiding him?
Eleven: We run, these people are much bigger that Troy and James.
The basement door open and Mike and Dustin rush down the stairs, with clothes for Five while Dustin with shoes to 'match'.
Five is handed the clothes and walks to the bathroom while Mike relays the the story of Five.
Mike: So we go in and say that he's part of my extended family. His parents are moving here and he's shadowing me around the school. Whenever we get the chance to run we head straight for the AV room and let Five find Will.
Lucas: What will we call him?
Eleven: What does that mean.
Dustin: There's no way we'd go through the whole day at school and have to call him by a number.
Eleven: You guys do it for me.
Dustin: Yeah, but for you we can say El for short, what can we say for him, is there something short for Five that I don't know.
Lucas: I mean we don't know if he even has a name.
Mike: F/N.
Lucas: F/N?
Mike: F/N, that's what we call him.
Eleven: I like it but there's one more thing.
Mike: What is it.
Dustin: If we find Will, how can we get him to contact us and know where he is.
Eleven: If Five can use his powers to find Will on the radio like Professor X, he could possibly make visual contact with Will.
Lucas: It's a stretch.
Mike: Well it's something.
The bathroom door opens and Five walks out wearing a plaid jacket shirt, blue jeans and all white converse all stars. He looks like a normal kid.
Mike: This is as close as we can get making him look normal.
Dustin: Good thing he's a boy.
Eleven had no words for what she had seen, even if he was normal, to her, he was still handsome, powers or not, before she could bask it in Mike brought her out of thought.
Mike: Come on, schools starting soon.
Eleven: (thoughts) Damn you Mike.
The party leaves the basement and get on their bike with Five riding behind Mike.
Once the party arrives they see the other students walking into the gym.
Lucas: Is this a eulogy or something?
Dustin: Doesn't matter we just have to act normal.
Principal: Attention students, there will be an assembly to honor Will Byers in gymnasium now.
The party place their bikes at the stand and followed their peers into the gymnasium.
The party ignored it and went straight for the AV Club room only for it to be locked.
Mike: It's locked.
Dustin: Hey do you think you can open it, with your powers I mean?
Five stuttered at a lose for words until Mr. Clarke came from behind them.
Clarke: Guys, assembly's about to start.
Mike: We know, were just...
Lucas: Upset.
Eleven: We just wanted some alone time.
Clarke: Listen, I get it I do. I know how hard it is but let's just be there for Will. And then the Heathlkits yours for the rest of the day. What do ya say?
Clarke passed the keys to Mike then turned to Five and gives him a smile.
Clarke: I don't believe we've met. What's your name
Mike: F/N. He's my cousin.
Dustin: He's visiting for the week.
Eleven: His parents moved down here and wanted him to shadow Mike for the day.
Lucas: He's also here for Will's funeral.
Clarke: Well, welcome to Hawkins Middle F/N, wish you were here under better circumstances.
Five: Thank you.
Clarke: Where are you from exactly?
Five: Bad pla...
Mike stops Five.
Eleven: Sweden.
Mike: I have a lot of Swedish family.
Lucas: They hate it there.
Five: It's cold.
Dustin: Sub zero.
Clarke: Well then, shall we.
Party: Yup.
The children sat in the stands while at the half court line the principal stood with his podium.
Principal: Will Byers death is unmanageably tragic. Will was an exceptional student and a wonderful friend to all of us. It's impossible to express the hole Will leave in our community. I'd like to introduce you to Sandy Slone. She's a local grief counselor from the church in Joansburg.
The party looked around the gym, none of them either never talked to him, help him, or knew he even existed. This angered Mike and Lucas.
Mike: Look at all these fakers.
Lucas: They probably didn't even know his name till today.
Dustin: Agreed.
Eleven: Exactly.
Eleven looks over to see Troy and James who were snickering.
Troy: Who is interested in this? This is so stupid.
Five looks over to see what Eleven is staring at as she clenches her fist.
Five: Mouth Breather.
Mike: Biggest one to ever exist.
The bell went off and each student left the stands ready to go to their next class. Five watches as Eleven approached Troy.
Eleven: Hey Troy!
Students gather around.
Eleven: Think somethings funny.
Troy: What did you say Ives.
Eleven: I saw you guys laughing over there. And I think thats a little messed up thing to do. What if it your boyfriend there.
Eleven says motioning at James. This gets most in the room to 'ooooo' at the words. Jane was never scared of the duo and finds them highly annoying.
James: Didn't you hear the council Ives. Grief shows itself in funny ways.
Troy: Beside Will's in fairy land now right. All happy and gay.
Eleven walked up to Troy who was only an inch taller. Troy and James never did anything to Jane except call her names.
Troy: Gonna hit me She-ra?
Eleven: Hmmm.
She then pushes Troy making him fall on his ass cause a few student giggle.
Eleven: What's the matter, scared to hit a girl. Or is it Daddy who hits you.
Eleven taunts which makes the remaining members of the party laugh.
Troy: You're dead Ives!
Troy charged at Jane but he stopped moving. Everyone was confused but heard the sound of liquid hitting the ground. Everyone looks down and see Troy pissing himself which made everyone laugh.
Student: Dude. Troy peed himself.
Eleven turns around and spots Five whos wiping his nose of blood.
Principal: Hey what's going on here.
He never got an answer as the students rushed out if the gym. James walked away from Troy as the party leaves the gym as well heading straight for AV.
Lucas: Dude did you see that.
Dustin: Who didn't, no one's gonna be scared of him after that.
Finally inside, Eleven guides Five to the seat in front of the radio.
Dustin: Now what.
Eleven: He'll find him.
Eleven reassures as Mike adjusts the setting for the radio. Static.
Mike: This should do it.
Five closes his eyes and the party stare at him waiting.
Eleven: He's doing it, he's finding him.
Dustin: This is crazy.
Lucas: Calm down, he just closed his eyes.
Not a second later, the light above Five turns off. The only light they had were coming from the Heathkit. There's noting coming from the other side except the sound of what sounds like really heavy footsteps. It grows louder as if it's in the room with him.
Will: Mom?
Mike's heart skipped a beat as he looks at the radio. Will's voice. He's alive.
Dustin: Is that...
Lucas: No way!
Will: Mom help please!
Dustin: Will!
Lucas: Will it's us! Are you there?
Mike: Can you hear us?
Will: Hello? MOM?
Lucas: Why can't he hear us?
Eleven: I don't know.
Eleven turns to Five ready to ask if he can contact Will but his face looks pale and the blood is running down his nose.
Will: Mom, it’s coming! It's like home but it's dark. It's so dark and empty and cold!
A growl is now heard on the the other side. Everyone is now struck by fear.
Will: Mom! Please!
Those are the last words they hear as the fuse in the radio blows and it goes up in flames. Dustin runs over with a fire extinguisher and puts out the fire.
Five opens his eyes but he looks like he's about to pass out.
Eleven: We gotta get him back.
