Day 028: Terminal.

Featuring Will Byers, El Hopper and Dustin Henderson. Vecna is here too, I guess.

Mike Wheeler, Lucas Sinclair and Max Mayfield mentioned.

1,341 words. Disclaimer; this is just a theory that I doubt will be canon but I very much enjoy. Also, almost posted this on the wrong account again. (Someone help me).

Will grabs his neck, as a shiver runs up his spine. He's active again. He realizes with an unavoidable dread. He looks around the room. He and the party had decided to have a sleepover, because it's been ages since they have all been in the same place. Well, expect Max. When he learned about her coma, he was distraught. While he and Max weren't particularly close, seeing the toll it took on El and Lucas made him want to break down. He never wanted to see their faces that broke up ever again. It made him want to erase that monster from existence himself. And he would try his hardest. But how can I do anything? All I have done up to this point is be stuck in the toxic environment that is the Upside Down for a week, then have a shadow demon play spy in the back of my skull. I'm not cut out for this sort of thing myself. 

He looks around the room. Mike is sleeping on the couch, with Lucas half under the small coffee table in front of the couch. He can hear Dustin snoring from somewhere in the room, and he doesn't see El, but knows she must be here somewhere. Will  shrugs, and stands up, only to hear footsteps behind him. “Will.” El whispers. That would explain why I couldn't find her. She was right here that whole time. They share a look that can only be described as  sibling understanding. They both nod, as they creep out of the room, on their tiptoes, in the vain attempt to not wake the others.

 “What are you guys doing?” Dustin asks, standing in the doorway as if he hadn't been laying down and snoring not three seconds prior. Maybe he was faking it? Or has he really become that light of a sleeper since we last hung out? Will supposes that with all the Upside Down nonsense one would have no choice but to sleep with one eye open constantly. El frowns, looking at Will for support. Oh, right. Should probably explain why I'm up and leaving the room at this hour.  Will clears his throat, and lifts a finger to his mouth to shush Dustin, who must've never been taught what an inside voice is. “My neck is doing the thing...” Will says, and Dustin tilts his head with a frown. “Vecna is active again.” Will adds for more context, and Dustin gasps.

“And you two were just gonna go off on your own without telling us?!” He whisper-yells, making Will duck his head in shame. Truth be told, his plan didn't even include El, but she was here, and she wasn't gonna be told off no matter how hard Will might try. “He hurt Max. Need to stop him.” She says, and Will sighs. El always says things so plainly, and simply, it's a skill that makes me jealous. A guy like me can barely clear things up for myself, let alone come up with a simple explanation or thought process. Dustin folds his arms. “Look, I get that, but we work best as a team, so let's wake the others, and beat this son of a b!tch.” Will nods, knowing he was outnumbered. He follows El and Dustin back into the room, and he feels something warm run down his nose.

He frowns, lifting his hand to his nose. He glances at his finger to find blood on it. “Will?” El asks, before a gust of wind blows through the house, and he hears a chime. He whirls around, the house seeming to spiral and spin with him, until he locks eyes with an old grandfather clock. It has a slow, swinging pendulum and he feels the chill go up his neck again. Wait a minute, isn't this what Max said happened to her? But why not? He got enough victims to do what he wanted right? “Will Byers.” A bone chilling voice hisses from everywhere and nowhere. None of his friends are there, all the furniture is dusty, as if it hadn't been touched in years. “H-Hello?” Will says, scanning the room for the origin of the voice. This can't be happening... Not now! “You need not fear me, Will.” The voice says. “After all, you are like me.” A tall man with blond hair and pale skin looks down at him. Vecna.

“What's going on? Why am I here? Didn't you get what you wanted?” Will asks, making the man chuckle. “Mostly, yes. But unfortunately, Max Mayfield is somehow alive despite my efforts.” Will smirks. “Yeah, and she'll remain alive, as long as I draw breath!” He snaps, confidence coming from somewhere within him. Vecna sighs. “See, that's not entirely true. As long as the powers of the ‘sensitive’ kids exist, she can survive. And if you kill me, she dies, as the Upside Down and I are connected.” Will chuckles. “So what I'm hearing is El can bring her back?” He asks, and Vecna scoffs. “Not quite, as long as she is in this fugue state, she can exist, but Eleven does not possess the power to wake her up. She isn't strong enough for that. Only someone of my strength could do that. Only one who has truly touched the Upside Down; tapped into it, if you will, can free her.”

Will chews the inside of his lip. Wait, I've done that, with the whole ‘Mind Flayer in my head’ thing. And he said I was like him, right? Will stares at Vecna, his eyes steely. “So, let me see if I'm following this correctly,” he says, walking back and forth to think. Vecna gestures for him to continue. “You said that she can be awakened, by someone with the same power level as you, right?” Vecna nods, with a furrowed brow as if he hasn't picked up on Will's thought process yet. “And that they would have to have a connection to the Upside Down, yeah?” Any color left in Vecna's face dissipates as he catches on to what Will was implying. Will lifts his hand, trying to channel what he's seen El do countless times. Please work. He begs the universe, and Vecna slams into the far wall, causing a loud crash.

“You won't have enough time to get to my physical body! Your friend will die before you get to kill me!” He cries out, and Will grits his teeth. He could be bluffing, but can I really risk it? He closes his eyes, and he feels his neck tingle again. What if I use the inner knowledge I have to find his real body, and destroy them both? He grunts, extending his other arm out towards the door, imagining him dragging the body of Vecna to him. He's not going to win. He's not going to win. Will lets out a yell, and the light fixtures around him blow out, causing sparks to fly and Vecna gasps for breath. “What— what are you doing?” He wheezes out, and Will grins. “Killing two birds with one stone.” Vecna lets out one final gasp, before deteriorating  into dust. Will groans, collapsing to his knees. El and Dustin kneel down next to him.

Mike and Lucas must have awakened, or been woken up, as they run over too. “You okay, Will?” Mike asks, and Will coughs. “I think so.” Dustin sighs. “Bro, do we have to worry about people getting Vecna's again?” I sniff, wiping away the excess blood from my nose. “I don't think so. For one, I think I banished Vecna from my head, another being that I'm not sure that was even his goal.” They all start to ask questions all at once, like “what was his goal?” and “What do you mean, ‘banished?'” but I wave them off. “Not now, I'll explain later. I have something more important to talk about.” I look over at El and Lucas. “I think I know how to bring Max out of her coma.”

Day 028: Important

Oh stars. Oh Gods. Oh- oh no. 

The sight of her caught me off guard, she was supposed to be back in the city tomorrow, not today. Caught off guard, I fumbled with the screwdriver in my hand. I scrambled to try and catch it but was unable to grasp it again and it fell to the ground with a clatter. The bell to the door chimed and I immediately fell to the ground after the screwdriver. Her laugh, as she parted ways with her comrades, was music to my ears. My face felt warm, my heart crashing in my ears. I had found my screwdriver but still I hid behind the counter, unable to compose myself.

“Mechanic?” Her voice boomed as she called curiously, “Are you in today?” I cursed under my breath. I could just stay quiet, maybe she would think that I had left for lunch or maybe in the back, busy and puttering away. Before I could come to a conclusion her voice interrupted my thoughts, “What are you doing down there?” I looked up to see a smirk pulling at her scarred lips. 

I swallowed nervously, my face hot with embarrassment. I looked down at the screwdriver in my hand and stood up immediately, “I had dropped my screwdriver. Sorry I hadn’t heard you come in.” She raised any eyebrow clearly seeing through my lie with ease. I cleared my throat, “Can- Can- How can I help you today?”

She didn’t say anything else as she brought her arm down on the counter with loud clank. Her mechanical arm has been ripped apart, wires torn, metal scratched and dented and even pieces missing. Immediately all previous jumbled thoughts were gone and a clear focus of my destroyed work was all I was focused on. I hurried around the shop, finding tools and checking the damage to see what I would need to do. I ushered her to come into the back where my work bench was, I had much better lighting back there. I stopped cold and looked at her. My eyes scanned her quickly in search of injury, “I’m so sorry, I hadn’t even asked. Are you okay?”

She let out a boisterous laugh that I could feel in my chest, it made my stomach flip and fill with butterflies, “Oh my little Mechanic, you’re sweet. I am fine. Don’t worry about me, your work is more important.”

But it’s not as important as you are to me. I nodded and gave a weak smile before busying myself with the repairs. I sighed under my breath.

day 028

Headed out to hang with friends! I was just really feeling myself tonight, my make up was on point, I had just done my nails, and I felt cute AF. We went to a screening of Kung Fu Panda 3, had some drinks, and just let loose and had a great time! It’s good to just relax once in a while.
