    Summary

    Meet my anxiety. It has three heads.
     
    No, I'm not insane. The insane don't name the voices in their skull. But I did.
    Richie. Miles. Boris.
    And I know they're right: Will has to be ours.
    Because if he isn't ours, then what was it all for?

    Summary

    The demogorgons elevate higher, their bones snap, and they fall to the ground dead. Will had managed to kill three demogorgons at once. He falls on his knees. Mike and Joyce both look at him in awe. Will feels blood dripping down from his eyes.

    Mike runs to him, kneels down to his level, and hugs him. “You’re a sorcerer! A real-life, honest-to-God sorcerer! You did it! You really did it!”

    Will hugs Mike back and blinks, but he realises it is the same with his eyes open or closed. “M-Mike…” he feels Mike’s back. “Mike…I can’t s-see you…”

    Summary

    A red cylinder, one end exploded and still smoking, hits Will’s foot and bounces away. In the furthest corner of his mind, he thinks it looks familiar. He’s not the only one.

    Lucas follows it with his finger then turns to them, bewildered. “That… That was a flare.”

    Dustin balls his hands into fists and grits his teeth. “Fucking Wheeler!” he cries. “This is the quarry all over again!”

    ~*~*~*~

    OR: Kali didn't die in the lab. She was only injured enough that she couldn't help fight against Henry. Before El left, she and Kali devised a new plan, one that El [begrudgingly] lets Mike in on just before they leave the Upside Down forever.

    He'll be their distraction. It's the least he can do after all these years of her saving him. The rest of his friends have already stepped into their roles. He's long overdue.

    Mike is their Paladin. He's going to protect his Party… even if it's to the bitter end.

    Summary

    Will and Mike visit New York in the year 1988. Mike has realised by now that he might have feelings for Will, but believes that Will is over him. They go out to a club after a day of roaming the city. As he watches how carefree Will dances, he feels conflicted: while he's glad that Will is finding himself, he feels regretful at the thought that Will doesn't need him anymore. While it seems like he is stuck in place, Will is moving on, overtaking him. But then again, while in New York, anything could happen.

    Summary

    “Are you just not speaking today?”

    It was a genuine question.

    His throat felt drier than usual. Will forced himself to swallow, shakily nodding.

    El nodded as well, turning back to her food. “Then I will not as well.”

    Will stared at her after that one, a little dumbfounded. Was she.. serious?

    In which Will Byers is selectively mute, and out of everyone throughout his life to be apart of him, El makes him feel the least like a freak for everything.
