She Returns/They Call Him 012

Chapter Three: A Mission/The Triangle

Mike

Will and El were in the cabinets. Dustin, Lucas, and I stayed out in the open to keep lookout. As the door slowly fell of it's hinges, Dustin handed me a loaded handgun, pocket knife, and magazine of bullets. Troy walked into the room, holding his head and pointing us out.

"They're right...there." He smirked and left.

"O11," Dr. Brennan teased, "012...come out, come out wherever you are..."
He was taunting them, and smiling while doing it. He pointed to El's cabinet.

"Check it." He ordered, and a man stepped over and opened the door. He scooped up El against her will, and held a pistol to her head.

"Mike!" Hot tears streamed down her cheeks. "MIKE!!" The other cabinet opened, and the papers, tables, and chairs were flying. Will stepped out, his face red and nose bleeding profusely.

  "Leave her alone." He stated, stamping a foot down, which caused the windows to shatter. A guard grabbed Lucas, another took Dustin, and then one snatched me.

   "Leave 011 and 012," the man commanded, "they're too powerful. Take the boys in for questioning."

   "No!" El cried. "Please! Dustin! Lucas!! MIKE!!!" They dragged us out of the room, and I listened to her sobs. A single tear fell down my face. I had to conceal my emotions. Or else it would be our throats.

Will

My nose had bled to my neck, and began to dry. Eleven was weak from shock, and she fainted. I walked over to her, and tapped her shoulder. "El, wake up," I said, "wake up El." She slowly opened her eyes, wiping tears off.

"Mike," El quietly told me, "dream of Mike gone." "Don't worry," I said. "we'll go find them." We stood up, and began to walk out. Troy and James were standing outside. El rolled her eyes.

   "Should I or should you?" I faced her, but then changed my mind. "You go." I heard the crack of bones, and she broke Troy's leg. As he winced in pain, she made him punch James in the eye.

   "Find friends." El said, as we turned the corner and walked out of Hawkins Middle.

Lucas

They took us to a dark room, and tied us down to thin, uncomfortable, chairs. The white-haired man sat in front of us at a small table, and put a tape recorder in the middle.

"Now, we're going to ask you some questions," Dr. Brenner said, "you either answer them or face consequences."

"When do we get to see our friends again?" Mike asked. The doctor reached across the table, and slapped him.

"I'm the one asking the questions." he furiously stated, as Mike winced in pain and rubbed his cheek.

"You good, man?" Dustin whispered. Mike nodded, a sad look in his eyes.

   "How did you meet Eleven and Twelve?" He questioned, shining a bright spotlight in our eyes. "What if we don't answer that?" I sneered back.

   "Well then," Dr. Brenner held up a remote control, "I'll press this button, and your friends die."

   "You're bluffing," Dustin responded, "they aren't bombs." The doctor viciously chuckled.

   "Answer the question." he stated. He faced Mike.

    "Michael Wheeler," he demanded, "spit it out--or I push it."

Will

We had been walking in the forest for what felt like hours. Eleven had been mumbling to herself about "twelve", "eggos", and "Upside Down". I had stuffed a bag with four handguns, two magazines of bullets, five pocket knives, and a rifle. They were all just...in case. As we going along the path, a chilly summer-becoming-fall wind blew in. I handed El my blazer.

"Sure?" She asked, to which I nodded. "Thank Will." "You're welcome." I leaned in and went for the kiss. She turned away. What had gotten into me? "Sorry, El," I awkwardly muttered, "that was a crazy move." El didn't respond. We continued in silence, and it was my fault.
----------
Once we reached the lab, more than 1,000 guards were gathered outside. "El, I have an idea." I turned to her. I whispered a plan to her in which we levitated each other, then ended up on the roof, and got in. She nodded slowly, and we got ready. "Ready...3. 2. 1." El took my hand, and was the first to use her powers. My feet started to float in air, and as I went up further, I brought her to join me. We were flying. I saw that El was bleeding heavily, so I got us to land. We opened the latch, and leaped down. Us two were gulping screams, and once we had landed, guards surrounded us. Eleven punched the ground, causing the walls to shake and windows to shatter. "Run." She said, and grabbed my arm.

Dustin

The men zipped us into hazmat suits and dragged us to the Upside Down gate. I listened to Mike whisper to himself  "Eleven, Will, if you're out there...". It hurt to watch.

"Wheeler, you first." the man ordered, shoving Mike forward. He stood inches from the gate.

"For El." he leaped in. Lucas followed, then me.
~~~~~~~~~
It was dark, cold, and covered in water. It wasn't that deep, more like some you would find in a fountain. Mike lost it, he started yelling, kicking, pushing, and screaming.

"WILLL?! ELEVENNNN?!?ANYONNNNNNEE?!?!" He exclaimed, and pushed against the wall.

"I don't think we'll ever get out of here." Lucas drearily said, slipping to the bottom of the wall.
