We're not in Hawkins anymore...

Chapter Six- Part Three- The American

  Nick leaned against Will, tear stains smeared on her cheeks. She sighed as he wrapped his arm around her shoulders and pulled her to his chest. He kissed her forehead, and watched as she moved onto his lap and cuddled close to him. "I love you," he muttered. 

  "Okay, okay," Mike said in the other room. "We only have so much time before the Mind Flayer comes back again and wipes everyone out. Its growing all over the place!" he said waving his arms in the air. "We have to back to the lab. It still has all the resources left from earlier experiments. " Brendon stated. 

  "But is it safe? I mean, that place hasn't been open in several years," Joyce asked while she crossed her arms. "Its the only place that Owens and I can work without any distractions. We know the place like that backs of our hands, and we know how to operate there." 

  "Agreed." Owens nodded. "Then whose all going?" Hopper asked. There was a moment of silence as everyone looked around at one another, hoping from someone to say something and break the awkward silence. "Going where?" The group turned around to see Will helping Nick down the stairs. 

  "Back to the lab to get that thing out of your leg," Brendon said honestly. Everyone watched as Nick stared at her father in disbelief. "I don't wanna go back there!" She shouted as she practically ran down only causing herself more pain. Will came back up from behind her, pulling his arm under her arms and helping to the couch. 

  "We have to. DO you want that thing out or not." Brendon accused as he crossed her arms and stared at her sternly. Nick gulped. "Then Will comes too." She said. 

  Now Will was the one to stare. She hugged his torso and leaned against him as the rest of the group waited for an answer from Brendon. He sighed heavily. "Fine. But this is a three man job, one that requires Owens, Hopper, and myself to help you with." He said. Nick nodded and said 'okay' under her breath. 

  "Okay. So Hopper, you, Owens, Nick and Will are going back to the lab to get rid of the Mind Flayer. SO what do yo want us to do?" Dustin asked. Brendon nodded. "I want you guys to connect with the others, Jonathen, Robin, Steve, and Nancy. And bring Erica too. Prepare for battle. Anything that consist of heat or metal." 

  "Okay. On it! But what is your guys call tag?" Dustin said as he handed Hopper a walkie talkie. "Uh, Blazer's Crew!" Will said, pointing out. "It works. And you guys are Griswold family right?" 

  "And Scoops Troop." Suzie said smiling up at Dustin. "And we're gonna need Murray for transport and help anyways. So call him up too." Hopper exclaimed. "I will." 

  "We break off tonight. For now, lets rest. We have a lot to prepared for." Brendon said as the group got comfortable, Lucas with Max, El with Mike, Dustin with Suzie, and Nick with Will. " Just relax for now guys, were not gonna have much time for that for a while." Everybody nodded and got into more comfortable positions.

  "Can I come with you guys?" Joyce asked as she and the rest of the adults left the room. "I wanna be with my boy. And Nick. She's need me." 

  "Of course." Hopper said, which made Brendon and Owens faces go red. 'We're gonna need you with us."
