Ethan groans as Will and Jonathan pick him up, leaning him against the escalator while Nancy returns with a stack of napkins, placing them against his head. Mike had returned with the hot knife, Jonathan probably going to use it to try and suture the skin back together. Max, seeing the idiots frantically trying to make sure Ethan didn't have any brain damage, ran over, stopping the group.
"Lucas, bowl and water. Mike, get a rag and some bandages."
"From where?" Lucas asks.
"Anywhere!" The redhead exclaims.
Max holds the napkins to the boy's head while Nancy and Jonathan try speaking to him. Will just sits next to him, holding his hand in his, caressing his knuckles with his thumb to try and comfort him before Lucas and Mike return with the items Max requested. The redhead quickly tries to disinfect the wound and stop the bleeding.
"It needs stitches," Nancy sighs as she looks down at the boy, clearly in much pain as blood runs down the side of his face.
Will looks back at the stairs, seeing blood trail down them from where Ethan had hit his head. Max mutters, setting the blood soaked napkins down on the floor.
"Ethan, we're gonna have to either stitch it or burn the skin together." Max sternly tells the boy. "Choose while the knife is still hot,"
"What? No-no you're not doing shit" Ethan groans, touching the wound which covers his fingers in blood. The boy looks around, seeing everyone surrounding him now, including Hopper, Joyce, Nicole, and Murray Bauman.. "Oh, God. Mom, go away"
Nicole had her hand over her mouth, side hugging Joyce as she watched blood spill from her son's head. Looking up the escalator stood to figures, calling for Ethan, two children the kid's age. They rush down the stairs, kneeling down next to him, those two being Jaeden and Hallow. What the family reunion is going on right now?
Hallow's hair was now a bit longer than El's, her voice still the same, comforting, sweet tone that Ethan was used to. Upon seeing her, Eth wanted to make a joke to Dustin that his girlfriend had arrived, since he spent last winter making googly eyes at her, but quickly realized he had Suzie. Whoops. Jaeden's hair had a classic fringe, looking something from a more modern day with phones without wires, but his voice deepened a bit, matured even.
"What in the hell? I- no, go away. I'll do it myself" Ethan groans, trying to push the large group away from him "The hell are you doing here?"
"We know about the Mind Flayer. We saw it. It's a flesh demon now," Jaeden quickly explains.
"Cool," Ethan scoffs, pushing himself up, "Get a mirror please, or some sort of reflective glass."
Nancy quickly runs off with Steve and Robin, looking for a mirror to stitch his head up, or burn it back together. Meanwhile, the rest of the group, except Will and Ethan, catch up with each other once again, getting on the same page. Robin returns, handing a small mirror to Ethan as he sighs.
