The interworking's of the upside down are still remnant.
the lives of those taken, are worth more than those present.
but that doesn't mean ones tortured may stay.or...

(ChurchGate...) He will traverse the interworking's of Hawkins own personal hell, forced to recycle the once present memory of Hawkins into something new. something violent. something completely different than Vecna. -

Summary
Hawkins is a ruined town under martial law, its streets split open like wounds. Families flee, soldiers patrol, and the air itself feels poisoned by the Upside Down.
But Will Byers knows the worst isn’t over. The visions, the whispers, the cold creeping down his spine — Vecna isn’t gone. He’s waiting.
Mike Wheeler refuses to let him face it alone. Even if it means fighting Vecna. Even if it means facing the truth he’s been running from.

I’m cursed.
Two words. Two sylables. And Will feels like his whole world has been flipped on its axis once again. -

Summary
“Don’t do that. Don’t be nice about it. You can be mad. It’s okay.”
“I am mad,” Will said. “But not about her. I’m mad you disappeared. I’m mad you stopped calling. I’m mad you didn’t show up when I invited you to my graduation. I’m mad that I had to hear from Jonathan that you got married. I’m mad you cut all of us off like it didn’t mean anything. But mostly I’m mad that you waited until your daughter was ten years old and missing to let me see you again.”
“I’m sorry.”
Will didn’t answer. The pause dragged too long. But then his voice came, even and low. “I know.”
; Years after trying to outrun the scars of Hawkins, Mike Wheeler is dragged back when his daughter vanishes without a trace. The past isn’t done with him — and neither is the boy he once braved the dark for.

Summary
Ringed fingers emerged first, scratched as though with thorns. And, in the deadly half-quiet of the Upside Down, he heard some grunting, like someone was trying to work against gravity.
Then black curly hair, and Dustin screamed a blood-curdling scream, and raised the shovel, getting to his knees, and then to his feet.
But he locked eyes with brown ones he knew, oh very well indeed.

Post Volume 2 S4, but the Upside Down does NOT come to Hawkins. A few months later, and the gang are all trying to live their lives as best they can. Until Eddie returns, escapes from the Upside Down...

Summary
Max turned in the direction of the headstone as well. “Why would seeing someone’s name on there freak you out so much, Will. Jesus, I thought Vecna had you and I don’t have your music with me. I thought you were about to die, and I wouldn’t be able to do anything about it.”
“I’m sorry.”
“Don’t be, Byers, just tell me what's going on.”
Will just then found his mouth very dry and a lump set in his throat. Suddenly, all the words in his mouth died and he simply stared straight ahead.
“Will.” Max said softly after a few seconds. “Who’s grave is it?”
Will forced the lump down his throat as he answered her.
“It’s mine.”

Summary
A world where the Genesis Project was created was created in 1961 with the intention of creating a mutant army. Project MKUltra, a CIA program aimed at researching mind control and experimentation with psychedelic substances, was launched against Soviet or internal threats, a year after the events in Cuba. Several experiments were born there, and many children were kidnapped. The laboratory continues its secret research, without the population of Hawkins realizing the magnitude of the tests and experiments being carried out. Experiments in telekinesis and mind control are ongoing, with Dr. Martin Brenner and other scientists at the helm. The first four issues were boys and girls who were kidnapped and experimented on, while 005 to 016 were born inside the laboratory.
