"WHAT DID I tell you?!" Lucas exclaimed, glaring daggers straight at Mike

"WHAT DID I tell you?!" Lucas exclaimed, glaring daggers straight at Mike. "She's been playing us from the beginning!"

"That is not true! She helped us find Will!" Mike loudly argued.

"Calm down, guys." Mabel worriedly darted her, now alarmed, eyes between the pair as her heartbeat started to race out of utter concern for each of them.

"'Find Will'?" Lucas half-obeyed her orders as the volume of his voice slightly lowered, though still remaining at a relatively loud level due to his current heightened emotional state. "'Find Will'? Where is he, then? Huh? I don't see him!"

"Yeah, you know what I mean." Mike just scoffed out a defensive breath.

"No, I actually don't!" Lucas aggressively called. "Just think about it, Mike. She could've just told us where the Upside Down was right away, but she didn't. She just made us run around like headless chickens!"

Dustin decided that it was the right time to interject, and he moved to act as a barrier between them. "Alright, like Mabel said, calm do-"

"No!" Lucas furiously shoved Dustin aside, causing Mabel to widen her eyes and take a step forward in an attempt to prevent Dustin from stumbling too far back, though he stopped himself before he could fall down fully. "She used us, all of us! She helped just enough so she could get what she wants. Food, and a bed. She's like a stray dog!"

"Screw you, Lucas!" Mike shouted, pure anger bubbling up in his body as Lucas curtly insulted Eleven.

"No! Screw you, Mike!" Lucas shoved Mike's chest with his finger as a form of protest. "You're blind, blind because you like that a girl's not grossed out by you! But wake up, man! Wake the hell up! She knows where Will is, and now she's just letting him die in the Upside Down."

"Shut up!" Mike yelled furiously.

"For all we know, it's her fault." Lucas sharply narrowed his eyes at Eleven before shifting his hardened glare back to Mike.

"Shut up." Mike snapped more definitively as he continued to defend Eleven.

"We're looking for some stupid monster, but did you ever stop to think that maybe she's the monster?" Lucas pushed Mike's chest again as he coldly glared at Eleven once more.

"I said shut up!" Mike's patience finally broke as he lunged at Lucas, pushing him to the ground and consequently toppling him over, the two now tussling around in a fist-fight.
