"Scoops Troop, do you copy? Billy has found us."
Mikes yells for help echoed through the mall. After the group had attempted to get secure in the car, it was revealed that Billy Hargrove had found them, causing everyone to quarantine in the mall.
The upside down car was Jonathan's idea to try. They needed the ignition cable but there was no way of getting it with the car leaned over the way it had. After they all positioned themselves behind it, ready to shove, the car didn't seem to make any movement. Peter huffed. "Are any of you actually pushed?"
"Yes!" the each yelled his way.
"Let me try." El spoke up as her and Will stood infront of the car and panting teens.
"I've lost count of how many times you've used your powers." Peter spoke through inhaled, leaning over some to catch his breath. "But if you feel confident, no one can stop you, lady."
She walked forward, hand out reaching as they all moved. The metal sounded like it was being bent, possibly buffing out. El panted, giving a yell but failing. Peter rubbed her shoulder. "It's totally fine."
"Not fine." El corrected him.
"I'm related to Mr.Clarke, I think I know what's fine and what isn't fine." Peter joked with her, a half grin across his face as she almost smiled up as him.
"Wait." Mike spoke up when he heard him, looking with wide eyes. "I know what to do."
It wasn't long until some of the group was pushing, the others yanking down on a metal pole that they managed to lodge beneath the car. Between both the pressure, the loud echo of the car falling over went through the mall. Peter inhaled with a thumbs up toward El. Mike took a deep breath. "Told you. Physics."
Peter jumped down, helping Max do the same as well as Lucas by her side. Nancy and Jonathan tried to yank the hood of the damaged car, struggling. "How do we get it open?"
"Uh, there should be a latch. Check under the wheel." Jonathan nodded as Nancy hurried toward the front door. "You see it?"
"I don't know. Hold on." she struggled to lean over.
"Here, watch out." Peter patted Nancy's back, having quite a few more inches on his legs then she had as he leaned over.
"You see it?" Jonathan asked.
"It's dark." Peter said, trying to navigate. "I think I feel-"
The hood popped open, making him look up with a smile as Jonathan nodded. "Good work."
Nancy hurried over. "Do you see it?"
"I don't know." the older Byers looked around. "It should be right here."
Peters eyes turned to Will, who gave an uncomfortable look as his hand rose to his neck. Before he had time to say anything, the clanging of the roof had caught all their attention. Looking up, his dark eyes widened at the sight of the Mind Flayer crawling above them. The glass creaked.
