A/N: They're 16 nearly 17!!!!! Feel like a warning is needed as people may be offended. Please tell me if you don't like the way the chapter is, I can tone it down x

"R-Richie, Cass. You guys might w-wanna see this."

Despite Richie's obvious lack of energy, he shot out of bed, following me and Bill into my own bedroom.

"What is it?" Richie asked. I held onto Bill's hand out of instinct, Richie tiptoed over to Eddie. We were all afraid, no doubt. Was all of this really over? 

"Teddy, Georgie, sh-show Cass the d-d-drawing you've made." Bill smiled at them both, nodding his head as encouragement.

Teddy held the piece close to his chest. "Come on, Teddy. Let me see, before I call the tickle monster!" I threw my hands in the air, making him giggle.

"Okay, okay." He showed me the drawing. All of us losers circled it with hawk eyes. It was the same as the one before, all of us as superheroes, except this time there was one more person. "Who is this?" I pointed at the blonde male with a yellow cape. I knew who it was, there was a name to go with it.

"It's super Henry. I'm sorry we didn't add everyone yet, but we will!" Teddy smiled as Georgie nodded his head.

"That doesn't matter." I shook my head.

"You just need to tell us about Henry." Richie stated.

"I don't think that's a good idea. He might get into trouble." Georgie said, almost questioning our intentions.

"Never, we wanna help him." Bev smiled, placing a hand on the drawing and lightly tugging it from Teddy's arms.

"So, this Henry's cool, huh?" Mike asked, lightening the mood for the boys and staring nonchalantly at the paper.

"Cooler than me?" Stan asked, putting a hand on his heart and faking hurt. I cursed Teddy's beyond average intelligence. He scanned the room, it seemed he wasn't buying it.

"Hey," I crouched. "You need to tell us. We can save Henry. Right now, people think he did a lot of bad things. You can save him, if you just tell us."

"How about we all stay over?" Richie asked, rubbing Teddy's shoulder. "Would you guys like that?"

Georgie seemed to answer for the two. "Yes! And pizza." 

Bill laughed at his little brothers bargaining. "We can take the boys to rent a movie?" Mike offered, gesturing between him and Stan. 

"And we can get the pizza?" Bev gestured between her and Ben. I knew the signs, I could just tell, Ben was in love with Bev. I practically saw his stomach flutter.

"Me and Eds, we'll get the candy." Richie stated.

"Then I guess, Bill and I will stay here?" I looked at Bill with raised eyebrows.

"Looks like," Richie gave a wink to me, he knew I'd not seen Bill, at least not alone, for a while. "Let's get going, shoo shoo." Richie gestured everyone out of the room, I watched Teddy jump to Mike and Stan's side, along with Georgie.

"You g-guys." Bill called, Stan and Mike knowing that he meant them. "Do n-not take your eye off of th-them for one m-minute."

"Don't worry they'll be fine." Stan patted Bill's shoulder.

"I'll watch them like a hawk." Mike smiled as the two boys instinctively went to hold his hands, as they did mine and Bill's before everything happened.

And the house was empty again, all but me and Bill. "We're all here. Holy shit I can't believe we're all here." I sighed.

"Yeah, we d-did it. I'm s-sorry I left you." He shook his head, I hugged him as best I could, a dull pain in my abdomen demanding that I pull away and my own stench of sewer wafting back into my face doing the same, I pulled away, settling at just stroking his face with my hand. "Bill, you did what I asked of you. That's what I wanted, and i'm not gone yet so stop moping because I need a shower and I need it fast." I joked.
