Everybody Wants To Rule The World

Mike stared at the girl as she was asleep. When she had passed out he was scared, worried now for both Marie and Will. Wondering why everything had come crashing down now.

Hopper had made sure that the doctors made sure the girl was okay. They told him that stress, and lack of sleep had been the cause of her passing out, but he didn't believe that one hundred percent.

So when her eyes fluttered open, Mike ran up to her. She gave him a small smile when she saw the boy, and the worry in his eyes.

"I'm fine, Wheeler." She says, sitting up. Without hesitation Mike throws himself around her, and Marie smiles.

"You scared me." He says to her, and she feels bad. Knowing that she must've given him a scare, and then she held him tighter.

"I'm sorry, okay." She feels him pull away. Then she glances at Will who was asleep in his bed, and she looked up to see Bob and Joyce in the corner of the room.

Within seconds of her seeing them, Joyce walks out of the room with Bob trailing behind her. Mike also watched the two adults walk out of the room.

All of a sudden Will's monitor's start to go off. Marie looked at the boy, and saw his eyes start to open.

"Will, are you okay?" Marie says, and Mike pulls away from her. Turning to Will as well, the two start to make sure he was okay.

"Are you hurting again?" Mike asks the boy, and Will shakes his head. He seemed to be in pain, and Marie placed her hand on the boys shoulder.

"I saw something." He tells the two of them, and they nod their heads.

"In your now-memories?" Mike asks, and Marie looks at the young boys. Mike seemed to be interested in what Will was going to say.

"The shadow monster. I think I know how to stop him." Will says, and Marie smiles slightly, and Mike looks up at the teen girl.

Marie was sat in her chair looking at the clock on the wall, just watching it. Each time it ticked she grew more and more anxious. She couldn't figure out why she felt the way she did. Joyce and Bob were stood across the room on the other side of the Will's bed, and Mike stood next to Marie.

"I'm sorry." Will speaks up, and they all look at him. Marie knew that Will had helped the doctors and told them where to find the Spy, but she hadn't heard anything about that yet.

"What? What do you mean, sweetie?" Joyce asks her son, and Will looks up at her.

"He made me do it." Marie stands up at this point, and stands next to Mike who had now made his way to Will.

"Who? Who made you do what?" Joyce questions her son again, and Will's eyes darken.

"I told you. They upset him. They shouldn't have done that." Will says, and Mike's eyes widen and look up at Marie, and that's when it hit her.

"The spy." The two of them say together, and Mike walks around Marie and makes his way to the door.

"The spy!" He says as he makes his way out to the guards in the hallway, and Bob goes after him.

"Will, sweets, talk to me. You got to help me understand." Joyce says to her son, and Marie shakes her head.

"It's too late." Marie says, and Joyce looks up at her.

"You should go now." Will says, and Marie glances at the boy, he was looking between her and his mother, anger in his eyes.

"They're almost here."

"We're under attack, we're too late!" Marie grabs Joyce's arm, and Will glares at her. She looks his mother in her eyes, and Joyce saw the fear in her eyes.
