IT WAS NOW A FEW HOURS LATER AFTER FINDING THE BODY OF WILL BYERS, and Levi was sitting in the fort, Ben and Klaus on his lap watching sadly as Mike flips through drawings Will made him on the couch in the basement, listening to the crackling of static from the radio El was fiddling with, trying hard to find Will because she knew he was still alive, she could feel it and so could Levi he just hadn't mentioned it.

"Can you please stop that?" Mike asked, looking away from the papers in his hand to look at the girl getting annoyed with the crackling.

El looked up at the boy, turning off the radio, handing it to Twelve who looks at her confused. "Try. Please."

Levi sighed, taking the radio out of her hands, the girl touched the boy's shoulder, trying to help the boy by merging their powers together, knowing she couldn't get it herself even if she were powerful.

The radio crackles again, causing Mike to glare at the two, "Are you deaf?"

The two don't look up or respond as El closed her eyes and Levi's eyes flashed white, but Mike didn't notice in his fit of rage.

"I thought we were friends, you know? But friends tell each other the truth. And they definitely don't lie to each other."

Twelve looked up at the words friend, flinching remembering what he heard on the radio and he and El don't say anything but take the rage from what they believe is their first friend who wasn't from the lab.

"You made me think Will was okay, that he was still out there, but he wasn't. He wasn't! Maybe you thought you were helping, but you weren't. You hurt me. Do you understand? What you did sucks."

Twelve looked down frowning, feeling tears well up in his eyes. What did he do? He didn't even know where they were going? How was he supposed to know Will was dead? Why was Mike blaming him too?

Levi's brows furrowed in concentration, glaring down at the radio in his hands, trying to focus on the power El was radiating, but he couldn't help but whimper at Mike's next words.

"Lucas was right about you two. All along."

Twelve clenched his jaw, glancing at El with a nod and they both squeezed their eyes tightly as Levi fiddled with the knobs on the radio, both sighing in relief when they hear a voice.

Will's voice.

"So come on and let me know. Should I stay or should I go?"

Levi and El watched Mike look at them with wide eyes, both of them feeling the trickling of blood from their noses.

"Should I stay or should I go now?" Will's weak voice sang over the radio.

Mike threw the papers on the couch, running over to Levi and El, dropping down to his knees as they continued to listen to the boy sing, and Twelve lifted the radio so Mike could grab it.
