Hopper, Joyce, and Gloria continue to follow the blood trail, leading them all the way through town, or what looked like Hawkins.  It still amazed them to see an alternate world of their own, but so darker and colder than theirs.  

"There's more blood." Hopper says. 

"Oh, my God." Joyce gasps and finds more blood, "This way."

"Jesus, that's my office." Gloria gasps. 

They continue the trail and finds more leading directly into the huge library in the center of town.  Together, they walk towards the building, not knowing what horrors lurk in the shadows inside, but all they cared about was saving Will.  

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Mike continues to shake Eleven, but she never stirred.  They couldn't stay here.  They needed to go before the bad people take her again.  

"She's barely breathing."

"We gotta go."

Mike was getting ready to carry her, but the three of them jump when they hear a voice speak out to them. 

"Leave her." Walking around the corner with soldiers behind him, Dr. Brenner stands before them, "Step away from the child."

Mike grits his teeth and takes his stand, "No! You want her, you have to kill us first."

"That's right!" Dustin moves to stand next to Mike and so does Lucas.

"Eat shit!"

Suddenly, Mike turns fast and sees more MP soldiers sneaking up behind them.

"Oh, no! No, no!" Mike shouts as they're all grabbed from behind.

"No! No! Get off me!

"You idiot!"

"No!"

"Get off me!" Dustin yells.

"Ow! Let go!" Mike struggles to get out the man's grip but they were firmly held back. 

Dr. Brenner rushes to Eleven's side and picks her up, holding her to sit up. "Eleven? Eleven, can you hear me? Eleven?" He calls out to her. 

Slowly opening her eyes, "Papa?" She asks weakly. 

Dr. Brenner smiles at her, "Yes, yes, it's your papa."

"Get off of me." Mike grunts and continues to fight. 

"I'm here now." Dr. Brenner continues to sooth her. 

"Let her go! Let her go, you bastard!" Mike yells. 

Eleven whimpers as she watches Mike, Lucas, and Dustin struggle in the bad men's grip.

Dr. Brenner strokes her head and cheek, trying to calm her, "Shh, shh, you're sick. You're sick, but I'm going to make you better. I'm going to take you back home, where I can make you well again. Where we can make all of this better, so no one else gets hurt." He says.  

Eleven looks up at Brenner with an angry look, "Bad. Bad." Eleven says, startling Brenner. Then she tries to reach out for Mike, "Mike. Mike. Mike." She whimpers. 

Mike grunts and struggles to get to her, but the soldier that held him was too strong.

"Where's your sister?  Where is Five?" Brenner demanded. 

Suddenly, gunshots go off and two of the soldiers that Brenner came with fall dead to the ground.  

"Don't move!" Jace yells at an agent before he could grab his weapon.  He aims his gun at them all, "You're all under arrest." He pants.  

Five walks out from the corner and sees Dr. Brenner holding her sister.  

"Five, there you are." Dr. Brenner grins.  "Tell your friend to put his gun down or more innocent people will be hurt." He says.

The soldiers who held Mike, Lucas, and Dustin begin to take out their guns and holds them at their heads.  Dustin shuts his eyes tight and whimpers while Mike and Lucas both pant in fear.  

Five breaths heavily and moves slowly towards Dr. Brenner and Eleven.  

"Fi, no!" Jace says, but he couldn't stop her without taking his attention off of the agent in front of him.  If he did, he knew the agent will shoot him.

"Good girl.  That's my good girl." Dr. Brenner smiles and holds out his hand to take her arm.  "Now, we can all go home and no one will be hurt." 

Suddenly, Brenner grunts and falls back in pain when a fist comes flying at his face.  He clutches his nose and sees the blood covering his hand.  He looks up in shock as Fi stands over him with an angry glare. 

"Asshole!" She says.  

All of the sudden, the lights begin to flicker rapidly all over the hall.  Mike's eyes widen in realization. "Blood."

"What?" Lucas frowns. 

"Blood." Mike says again, remembering what Nancy and Jonathan said about the Demogorgon.  How it hunts for blood.  And they all stood around several dead bodies. 

Jace frowns when he hears thudding coming from behind him.  The wall cracks and opens, as if something was trying to escape into their world.  And they were right as the loud screeching came from the cracks. 

"Demogorgon." Dustin gasp as his eyes widen at the sight of the monster. 

The Demogorgon bursts from the wall, standing tall before them all as it roars at them all.  

Jace turns and holds his gun up to fire at it, "Go! Run!" He shoots at it, but it only made it mad.  

The Demogorgon screeches and swipes it's claw at Jace, scratching his arm and shoulder.  Jace yells in pain and takes off running with Fi and the others.  The soldiers that held Mike and his friends at gun point turns their weapons to the Demogorgon.  Dustin carried Eleven and they all rush to escape, leaving the soldiers to the monster.  

Brenner could only watch in shock and awe at the ability of the beast.  

"Go, go, go, go, go!  Come on, come on." Mike shouts.  

"Go, go!" Lucas users everyone to run.

Fi helps Jace run as he puts pressure on the wound.  He grunts in pain as he wraps his other arm around her and guides her to safety.  

"Come on, go!" He yells.

Brenner continues to watch the creature overpower his men and, soon, he yells as it attacks him.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Hopper leads Gloria and Joyce throughout the library, but it seemed to be taken over by the vines.  As if they were in the creature's lair.  The further they went, the more of the library was taken over by the vines and, soon, membrane-like substance covered the walls and floor.  

Gloria shines her light to see better, then gaps in fright as she jumps back.  

"Jesus!" She stumbles backwards as her light shines over a skeleton.  

Hopper and Joyce turn quickly to see what scared her and Joyce's eyes widen horror.

Trapped over the wall and floor, was dead bodies.  Almost as if they were cocooned and preserved in the membrane.  Like a spider saving meals, but it looked like the creature has feasted on all. 

"Oh, my God." Joyce whispers under her breath.

"This doesn't mean anything.  He could still be alive." Gloria states.

Joyce whimpers softly and nods, continuing her search.  She shines her light all around.  Seeing more bodies.  Some were a few days old, but when she shines her light further, her eyes widen in pure shock as she sees Will!

"Will! Will! Will! Oh, my God!" She gasps and rushes to Will.  Seeing him practically strapped to the wall with some sort of large vine attached to his mouth.  He looked so pale, it broke her heart.

Gloria and Hopper rush to her aid and sees Will.

"Oh my god! Oh, Will!" Gloria shouts. 

"Will! Hopper! Oh, my God! You need to help get him out!" Joyce cries as Hopper moves to see.  

Hopper freezes as he studies Will, seeing that vine attached to him...like when Sarah had that breathing tube attached to her.  

He snaps out of his thoughts as Joyce continues to beg him to free her son, "Get him out!"

He grips Will's face and with his other hand he begins to pull the vine.  They begin to see that the vine wasn't just attached to him, it was inside him!

Joyce whimpers as she watches Hopper pulls several feet of the vine out of Will's body.  He uses both hands to pull and pull, then finally when it was out, he throws it to the floor.  He flinches when the tendril hisses.  

"Oh, Jesus." He gasps and uses his gun to shoot it. 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Mike and the others run through out the hallways as the soldiers continue to shoot at the Demogorgon.  The exits were no longer an option.  No matter where they ran, the monster was not far behind and neither were the bad people.  

"Come on, come on!"

"Oh, my God!" Dustin yells as the whole school sounded like a warzone. 

Jace yells in pain as he continues to hold on to Fi while they rush to find a place to hide.  

"Sorry. Hold on, we're almost there. We're almost there." Mike says and rushes towards to Mr. Clarke's room.  "Come on. Come on." He rushes everyone inside.  

"Help, help."

"Come on, get her on the table." 

Together, they gently place Eleven over a table.  She groans softly, she felt so weak and drained.  Fi carefully helps Jace to sit.  

"Jace." She whimpers as she sees the horrible slash marks on his body. 

"I'm ok.  I'm ok." He grunts as sweat pours down his face.  He winces as he takes his button-up shirt off, leaving him in his white tank.  He ties his shirt around his arm, cutting the blood flow to get it to stop bleeding.  

"Oh, my god!" Dustin's eyes widen at the sight of blood. 

"Holy shit, that thing got you good!" Lucas exclaims. 

Mike moves to lean close to Eleven, holding her hand tightly, "Just hold on a little longer, okay?" Tears form in his eyes and he sniffles, trying to fight the tears.  He was so scared he almost lost her, he didn't want to lose her, "He's gone. The bad man's gone. We'll be home soon, and my mom...she'll get you your own bed. You can eat as many Eggos as you want."

Eleven smiles as tears begin to trickle down her face, she sniffles and continues to hear all of his promises to her.

"And we can go to the Snow Ball."

In a soft, weak voice, "Promise?"

Sniffling more, "Promise." Mike says. 

"Sister." Fi whimpers and stands close to her. 

"Sister." Eleven says softly. 

Suddenly, all of them jump at the loud screeching.  Mike screams and jumps back.  Everyone watches the door as the lights continue to flicker on and off.  The gunfire keeps going on and loud thudding is mad from outside.  

Suddenly, the gunfire stops.  

Dustin stutters in fear, "Is... Is it dead?"

Crash! 

The Demogorgon shoves the door to the ground, walking over it and into the classroom.  Mike and his friends jump and scramble around to fight it.  Jace holds his gun up and grits his teeth as he fires at it.  The monster just screeches at the bullets and growls. 

Jace didn't stop till the gun was clicking, "Shit! I'm out!" He struggles to load his gun up with one hand, but it was hard.

"Go, go, go, go!"

"Get the wrist rocket! Get the wrist rocket now!" Dustin yells as Lucas yanks off his backpack and tears through it to get his sling shot and the rocks.  

"Go, go, go, go, go!"

"Go, go, go. Take it out now!"

"Get the rocks, get the rocks, get the rocks!" Lucas yells. 

"Getting the rocks!"

"Give me one."

"Come on!  Go! Go! Kill it! Kill it!" Dustin yells. 

"Fire! Fire!"

Lucas arms himself and pulls the sling back and shoots, but it doesn't do anything. 

The Demogorgon roars as it gets closer and closer towards them. 

"Give me another one."

"Kill it! Bastard!"

"Kill it! Go, go, go, go!"

"Kill it now!"

"Get, get, get..."

"Come on, kill the bastard!"

"It's not working!"

"Hit him again."

"Kill him!

"Keep going! Come on!"

"Get, get, get..."

"Come on, kill it!"

"Come on! Go, go, go!"

The boys continue to yell for Lucas to kill it, but no matter what, the creature didn't stop. Fi could see they weren't going to win unless they had more fire power.  With her sister down, she was the only who could stop it.   

"Sister..." Eleven squeezes Five's hand weakly, stopping her from going to the monster.  "We can do it." She states. 

Five frowns and covers Eleven's hand with her other, shaking her head, "No.  You're too weak.  I alone." She states. 

Eleven sighs, "Sisters forever and always together.  Always." She sobs softly.  

Five sighs and sniffles, "Always." She nods and gives her a sad smile, "Zap." Her voice cracks as she holds up her pinkie.   

Eleven sniffles and holds up her shaking pinkie, "Zap." She presses her pinkie against Five's.  Five smiles and moves to hook her pinkie with Eleven's.

"Together." Five states. 

Eleven nods.  Five helps Eleven sit up and get to her feet.  They watch the Lucas load up his last rock and prepares to shoot.  Mike and Dustin continues to shout and yell at Lucas to kill the Demogorgon.  Lucas shoots and at the same time, Eleven calls for her energy.  

With a loud growl, the Demogorgon flies back into the wall, practically glued against the chalkboard.  All the desks and tables fly back and crash into each other and the walls.  

The boys jump in shock, but turn to see Eleven and Five walking towards the Demogorgon.  

Mike was afraid she was going to hurt herself if she continues to use.  He didn't want anything to happen to her. 

"Eleven, stop!" He rushes to her, but she throws her arm back to make him fly backwards into the cabinets.  He screams as he slams against the wood.  

"Mike!" Jace shouts.  He turns to watch Five walk with her sister.  "Fi." He says softly.

Eleven's eyes dilate past their normal point as she continues to call forth her energy to keep the monster at bay.  

The monster squeals as it struggles to be free and growls down at the girls before him.  

Eleven looks back at her friends, at Mike.  She had to do this, to protect them all.  To protect him.  

"Goodbye, Mike." She says with a broken look. 

Fi looks back at Jace as tears form in her eyes, she knew what was coming for them.  If it must happen, then so be it.  For Jace's protection.  

"I love you, Jace." Fi cries.  So this is love, what Gloria taught her.  And she was happy.  For once in her life, she felt happiness.  And she couldn't help but finally smile at that.  

Jace gasps as he realizes she was saying good-bye to him.  

Fi and Eleven turn back to glare at the monster.  This ends now.

"No more." Eleven states. 

Five's eyes roll back as her body lights up in electricity, bolts zap all over her pores, her hands, her legs.  She was calling all the power she had.  Eleven holds up a hand and calls for her energy, to kill the monster.  Together, they send their power against the monster.

It screeches loudly in agony, making everyone cover their ears in pain as Eleven practically rips through the monster's body with her mind.  The loud sounds of electrical zapping blends in with its horrible screeching. 

Five's eyes suddenly stop rolling and she glares at the monster with bright glowing eyes as she thrusts her hands out and sends bolts to stab through it's body.  The monster roars in pain as the combination of the girls powers ripped through it.  

The pain of using was so great for them both, they yell as blood drips from their noses and their veins darken over their pale skin.  They keep pushing and pushing. Till the monster explodes into ash and a gate opens behind it.  The monster reaches out to the girls, fighting them both but it was a useless battle, until the ashes engulfs them all and pulls them into the gate.

Finally, there was no more yelling, no more screeching.  Even the lights stopped flickering.  Mike slowly gets to his feet as he sees that the monster was gone, but so was Eleven and Five.  

"El? El?" He panics.  

Jace gets to his feet and gasps, "Fi!  Fiona!" He calls out. 

"El!"

"Eleven!"

"Eleven!"

"Fiona!" 

"El! Fi!" Mike cries, "El, where are you? Eleven!"

"El? Fi!" 

No matter how many times they called out for them, they were gone.   Jace moves and grabs Mike, letting him cry against him.  They were gone.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Freeing Will from the cocoon, Hopper picks his limp body and with Gloria's help, they gently place him down on the ground.  

"Easy, easy!" Gloria says and moves to snatch her helmet off and gloves.  She scrambles to check his vitals.  

"Oh, God." Joyce sobs as she watches Gloria exam him. 

"He's not breathing, he's not breathing." Gloria says and moves to give Hopper room, "Hopper you're the strongest, you perform the CPR." She turns to Joyce, "All right, Joyce, Joyce, listen to me, listen to me, listen to me." She grabs Joyce's face to force her to look at her.  "I need you to calm down and  tilt his head back and lift his chin." Gloria lets her go to follow her commands.

"Okay." Joyce nods, sobbing as she does what Gloria tells her. 

Hopper begins to pump on Will's chest, counting as he goes, "One, two, three, four."

"Now when I tell you, you're gonna pinch his nostrils, and breathe into his mouth...twice." Gloria says. 

Joyce nods, "Okay."

"One second...then pause."

"22, 23."

"Then one second." Gloria continues as Hopper still counts. 

"Okay." Joyce nods, sobbing as she gets ready. 

"24, 25, 26, 27, 28...29, 30."

"Now! Go!" Gloria shouts and Joyce begins to blow air into Will's lungs.  

"Oh, come on, come on. Come on..." Joyce whimpers.

"Come on, kid. Come on, kid!" Hopper shouts.

"Come on, Will!  Come on, breathe!" Gloria cries.

"Will! Will, listen to me. It's me, it's your mom and I love you so much. I love you so much. I love you more than anything in the world." Joyce sobs as she calls out to Will. 

Time seems to slow down for Hopper as the world fades and he's back in the hospital, watching his daughter fade away from him.  The EKG machine beeping the alert that she was dying and the doctors do all they can, but Hopper knew...he knew...it was too late.

He holds on to Diane as she sobs while they watch the doctors and nurses try and help Sarah.

"Blood pressure keeps dropping. Her pulse ox is falling."

Joyce sobs while Hopper continues to do CPR, pumping down on his chest, "I love you so much. I love you more than anything in the world. [sobbing] Please, please come back to me. Just..." She cries.

"Come on, kid!" Hopper shouts. 

"Please, please wake up. Please, please." Joyce begs and prays to anyone to hear her to give him air and bring him home to her.  

"Hopper, try the Precordial thump.  Do it!" Gloria says. 

Hopper balls up a fist and delivers a pound against Will's chest.  Joyce and Gloria's voices continue to echo around him as he continues to see Sarah dying over again. 

"Breathe, Will, come on!"

"Flatlining!"

Diane sobs in his arms as he struggles to hold back his pain, but inside he was breaking. 

"Come back to me, breathe. I need you to wake up now. I need you to breathe. Please breathe! Please!" Joyce cries.

"Come on!" Gloria shouts.

With a loud gasp, Will arches up with a deep breath, coughing up liquid.  Gloria gasp and lets out a big relieved breath and sobs with Joyce. 

"That's it.  Oh, my God, that's it, that's it." Joyce smiles big through her tears. 

Will continues to cough and gasp for air.  

Gloria scrambles for her oxygen mask and quickly places it over Will's head, "That's it, baby. Breathe.  Thank god." Gloria lets out a laugh and sobs once more.  

"Breathe. All right. Come on." Joyce hugs Will tight.  "Come on. Breathe, breathe, come on, come on. Good, good, good, good." 

Hopper sighs in relief as he feels a huge weight being lifted off of him.  

"Just breathe, Will, breathe." Joyce sobs in relief as she holds on to Will, never wanting to let go of him again. 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Before anyone knew it, the school was swarming with cops, firefighters, and ambulances.  Mike, Lucas, and Dustin rush to follow the paramedics as they roll a unconscious Jace out of the building. 

"Is he going to be ok?" Mike asks.

"Oh, god, please don't let him die." Dustin mutters and grunts when Lucas smacks him for thinking that.  

"He's gonna be ok.  The bear that attacked him missed any vital arteries.  Let Hopper know that Jace is going to Hawkins memorial hospital." A paramedic states and turns towards the deputies who stood next to the ambulance.  

"Will do." Powell says as Callahan bangs on the ambulance to give them the ok to go.  

The paramedics shut the doors and take off towards the hospital.  Mike watches them drive off and pain fills his chest when it hits him again that Eleven was gone.  Deep in his heart, he knew she wasn't dead, but where did she go?  Is she stuck in Upside Down?  How can they find her and bring her back?  More paramedics looked over the boys to make sure everyone was ok from the 'bear attack'.  But Mike felt like he was thousands of miles away from everything.  

Suddenly, he hears the faint calling of his mom.  He snaps out of his thoughts as he looks and sees his mom looking for him.

"Michael? Michael! Michael?" She finally sees him and rushes towards him and he meets her halfway, wrapping his arms around her waist and sobs his heart out against her, "Oh, my God. Oh, my God. You're okay. You're okay." She whispers and holds him as he cries.  

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Hey! Hey! I need some help here!" Hopper shouts as he rushes into the hospital, carrying Will in his arms with Gloria and Joyce following behind him.  They got rid of their biohazard suits as they rushed towards Hawkins Memorial. 

Hopper places Will onto the nearest bed and Doctors and nurses swarm around him to check his vital signs.  Gloria shouts out what's wrong with the boy, including lies she was forced to repeat due to the Hawkins lab.  Joyce rushes to follow the doctors as they wheel  Will into an exam room.  

Hopper sighs and rubs his tired face, but he freezes when he sees paramedics bringing in Jace.  His eyes widen when he sees blood bandages around his arm.  

"Oh, Jesus!  What the hell happened?" He rushes to Jace's side as his deputies follow. 

"Been trying to radio you all day, Chief.  There was an animal attack at the school." Callahan says.

Hopper was forced to wait in the waiting room as he was held back by the doctors and nurses.  Hours of waiting, they informed him that Jace was ok, but needed surgery to fix the nerves in his arm and the muscle.  So far, there's no permanent damage, but he won't be using his arm for a few weeks.  

After hours and hours of waiting and examing, Joyce and Jonathan sat in Will's room as they wait for him to wake up.  Slowly stirring from his sleep, Will opens his eyes and squint through the blur to see his mom and Jonathan sitting before him.  They sit up and smile down at him. 

"Hey.  Hi, sweetheart." Joyce says.

"Hey." Jonathan says with a big smile.

"Where... where am I?" Will gives them a tired smile, he couldn't believe he was seeing them again.  After a week of being away from them, it felt like a dream. 

Joyce sighs as Jonathan speaks for her, "You're home. You're home now."

"You're safe." Joyce says as she sniffles ands smiles big while she strokes Will's head and hair.  She missed her boy so much.  

"Jonathan." Will says as he reaches out to him. 

"Yeah, it's me, buddy." Jonathan sighs happily as tears begin to fall, "We missed you.  We really missed you." His voice cracks. 

"Are you okay?" Will asks as he looks at Jonathan's bandaged hand. 

Jonathan scoffs and holds his hand up, "What, this?" He waves it off, "It's just a cut. It's nothing. You're worried about my hand." He laughs.  

Joyce chuckles through the tears.  Still so caring towards his brother even when he's in the hospital.  

"Oh, hey, uh...We, uh...We brought you some stuff...so you don't get bored in here." Jonathan says as he grabs a box and places it on the bed.  He digs and grabs a cassette tape, holding it up for Will to see, "So..." He sniffles as he tries to fight the tears, but he was just so happy to have his brother back, "Uh, I made you a new mix tape. There's some stuff on there I think you really might like."

Will smiles and takes the tape, excited to find out what new songs was on it.  But, nothing can stop him from loving 'Should I stay or Should I Go'.

In the waiting room, everyone was there.  Nancy and her parents.  Mike and his friends.  Ted, Lucas, and Dustin were passed out.  All for different reasons.  

Mike could only think of Eleven and wondered where she was.  Was she safe with Fi?  Were they in Hawkins still or in Upside Down?  He needed to know.  He snaps his head up when the door opens and sees Jonathan with a big smile.  

He scrambles and shakes Dustin and Lucas awake.  Dustin was passed out on Lucas' arm and snorts when Mike wakes him up. 

"Guys. Guys, he's up.  Will is up. Guys, Will's up."

Lucas shoves Dustin away with a disgusted look and all three of rush out of the waiting room.  

"Guys, come on." Mike says as they stampede towards Will's room.  

Mike was the first to open the door and smiles big as they see Will in bed.

"Byers!" He exclaims as he and Lucas basically jump him with big hugs.  

"Be careful. Be careful with him." Joyce says. 

"Move." Dustin had to yank them off of Will and hug him himself. He laughs happily as the three of them group hug Will.

"Guys, guys. Go easy on him." Jonathan says. 

The three of them pull away and begin to babble everything Will missed while he was gone.  

"You won't believe what happened when you were gone, man."

"It was mental."

"You had a funeral."

"Jennifer Hayes was crying."

"And Troy peed himself."

Will's eyes widen in surprise as he laughs, "What?"

"In front of the whole school!"

"Yes!"

Will's laughter turns into coughing, making everyone stop and frown at him.  They almost forgot what he went through.  

"You okay?" Mike asks.

Will wipes his mouth and sighs softly, "It got me. The Demogorgon."

"We know. It's okay."

"You're not the only one it got." A voice speaks from the door as Gloria begin to roll in Jace.  "Hey, buddy." Jace smiles as Gloria parks him next to Will's bed. 

"Jace.  What...what happened to you?" Will asks. 

Jace grins and pats his arm that was wrapped up in a cast, "Had to kick some serious Demogorgon ass." 

"You should have seen him.  He was like...'pow! pow! pow!'" Dustin exclaims as he makes gunshot noises.  "And it was like..." He imitates roars.  "And it got him right in the arm!"

"But it's dead. We made new friends. They stopped it, her and her sister. They saved us. But they're gone now." Mike says sadly.

"Their names are Eleven and Five."

"Like the numbers?" Will asks, frowning at how weird it is to be named after numbers.

"Well, we call them 'El' and 'Fi' for short."

"Fiona." Jace says and everyone looks at him.  He sighs softly with a small smile, "Her name is Fiona." 

"He's in love with her." The boys say as they taunt him and laugh.  Jace scoffs and laughs, running his fingers through his hair.  

"They're basically wizards. They have superpowers." Dustin says as he drops his voice into a whisper.

"El is more like a Yoda." Mike says. 

"Fi is like Storm.  She can shoot lighting bolts out of her hands!" Lucas exclaims. 

"Eleven flipped a van with her mind, and these agents were trying to shoot us--"

"Yeah, it flipped over us--"

"Then she squeezed the brains out..."

"And blood was pouring out of their faces."

"It was pouring out of their eyes."

"Agents just started grabbing us and stuff..."

"...shot out of the wall..."

"Fi punched the bad guy!" 

"She electrocuted the Demogorgon."  

Everyone smile and chuckle as they watch the boys babble on their tales of adventure to Will as he looks at them all, listening in awe.  Jace sighs and looks towards the window, thinking about Fi.  Hearing those words from her lips.  Those soft lips.  Where are you, Fi?  Are you safe...with El?  In time...he knew...deep in his heart, he knew...she'll be back.  

As if Gloria could feel his broken heart, she walks over to him and squeezes his shoulder in comfort.  Jace sighs and reaches to touch her hand, giving her a small smile.  

Hopper didn't stay long, he was happy and relieved everyone was safe.  And he was right about those girls, they took care of the boys and themselves.  He hated himself for letting those people know where they were, but he knew they were going to find out sooner or later.  He walks outside the hospital and lights up a cigarette, but before he could enjoy it...a black car pulls up to him.  A man gets out and holds the door open for him.  He sighs deeply...knowing what's going to happen now.
