Stranger Things (BOOK 1): Clash Of The Gifted

Rise Of The Gifted

Hopper is with Eleven and Joyce at the Hospital where Rick is resting and being treated, he hasn't woken up yet.

(Joyce) What the Hell even happened back there, Hopper?..

(Hopper) I don't know.. but we're gonna have a little talk with Rick.

(Joyce) You seem like you know him, have you meet him before?

(Hopper) Me and Eleven we're at the Ice cream shop and we meet him there, we we're talking for a few hours, he seemed like a nice kid and he even said a few words that touched Eleven's heart and including mine but now I'm wondering if he meant that..

(Joyce) How come?..

(Hopper) Well, Joyce, he's the Punisher who killed 37 people this month already, 43 if we count the 5 people he killed yesterday.

(Eleven) Wait.. he's the m-murderer??..

(Hopper) Yep.

(Joyce) Your not gonna arrest him, are you?

(Hopper) Not for now.

(Joyce) Hopper, if there's a chance that we can defeat this Abbadon with Rick, must take it.

(Hopper) I know, joyce---

The nurse finally walks out of Rick's room.

(Nurse) He's finally awake but he won't talk to me, actually he won't talk at all, is he mute?

(Hopper) No, not all.

(Nurse) well, he doesn't want talk right now, would you bother coming later?

(Hopper) no, it's fine, he'll talk to us.

The nurse walks away and Hopper, Joyce and Eleven walk into Rick's room.

(Hopper) Hey, kid, didn't expect to see you again so soon, less in the hospital.

(Rick) ...

(Hopper) Rick, I need you to talk to us... And tell us what the Hell is going on. If you cooperate, I won't tell anybody who you really are.

(Rick) *sighs and still doesn't answer*..

(Hopper) Damn it, kid! you can trust us, I give you my word, I know that what's going on isn't normal here!

(Rick) You people are in some serious shit...

(Hopper) Yeah, no shit.

(Rick) How am I sure I can trust you?..

(Eleven) Can I see your wrist?..

(Rick) W-Why?

(Eleven) I just want to see, that's all..

(Rick) No!

Eleven approaches him slowly and when she's close enough, she shows
him her wrist and he sees "011".

(Rick) No way... Your... Your Eleven!!

Rick shows her his wrist and she sees the number "54".

Meanwhile...

Abbadon is back where he fought where fought Rick and the others and where the little crack to the upside down is.

(Abbadon) hmm... You know what? This is actually enough... I can break through more without Eleven's help, but I'm still going to need that Will boy.. I'm gonna needs some help!

Abbadon spreads his wings, his eyes start to glow red and his nose bleeds, then lighting from his wings strike the sky multiple times while making horn sounds, calling to all arms.
