Chapter 13

"I don't understand, you've seen that thing before?" Robin asks.

"Not exactly," Steve says.

"Then what, exactly?"

"All you need to know is it's bad," Dustin says.

"It's really bad," I say.

"Like end-of-the-human-race-as-we-know-it kind of bad," Dustin rushes.

"And you know about this how?" Robin asks.

"Um, Steve? Where's your Russian friend?" Erica asks. Then, the alarms go off.

"Shit," Steve runs to the door and opens it slightly. He slams the door shut, "go, go, go!" We run out into the gate room and run into the door inside it. We run down the stairs to come face to face to the gate opener machine. Whoa, this is insane.

"Holy shit! Holy shit! Holy shit!" Dustin yells.

"Over here!" Steve turns and guides us to a different room. We run into the room and Steve shuts it, "Robin! Y/N!" Help!" We rush to the door and help Steve.

"Come on!" Dustin yells.

"Y/n! Go make sure they're alright. Steve and I will hold them off! Go!" She yells. I run over to Dustin and push him in. We fall into the air ducts. Surprisingly these ones were large.

"So, are you gonna tell me what's going on?" Erica asks.

"Should we?" I ask.

"Yeah, I think it would be better for her to know the whole story."

We start to tell Erica everything. About how Eleven came into the picture and how Lucas, Dustin, and Mike were looking for Will with Eleven who has powers. We also told her how me and Steve know about all this. We told her about the gate.

"So, all that shit you guys told me, Lucas was there?"

"Yeah."

"My brother, Lucas Charles Sinclair?"

"Yes!"

"I don't believe y'all."

"Wait, so you believe everything about El and the gate and the Demodogs in the mind flayer, but you question your brothers involvement?" Dustin asks.

"That's correct," Erica nods.

"Makes total sense."

"You need help with that?" Erica asks me.

"No."

"It's taking you a while so.."

"Yeah, no shit. It's kind of hard to concentrate while I hear you two babbling back there about you being a nerd," I roll my eyes.

"Alright, so if we don't find a more efficient method to stop these fans, we're never gonna find help, and your ice cream friend and little boyfriend are screwed."

"He's not my boyfriend," I groan.

"Last time I checked, yes."

"We've never even kissed, girl."

"You should," she snaps back.

"Why?"

"Because you two obviously love each other. It's like watching a fucking romance movie. One girl is a nerd the other is a popular boy and then they both have crushes on each other. They both kiss and fall in love."

"First of all, Steve and I could never happen. Second-"

"Why?"

"What?"

"Why couldn't you two happen?" Dustin asks eagerly.

"Because he obviously doesn't like me."

"Wait you like him?" Dustin gasps.

"Yeah, since like freshman fucking year. Then, I stopped during junior and senior year and now it's back."

"Sounds tuff," Erica says.

I look back to stare at her. I look at Dustin and he looked like he just solved the hardest math equation. I get the fans off, "come on nerds."

"You.." Erica looks angrily at me. We crawl through the fan air way. we make it to a vent and open it up. "You guys check what's up there. Tell me if there's a way out."

"Okay," Dustin mutters and climbs up halfway. "Jackpot," he says. They both climb out and I follow. We look around and Dustin spots something. "Whoa, whoa," he rushes to the carts

"Do you even know how to drive?" Erica asks.

"Nope, that's why I am driving," I say. "They have keys in there?" I ask Dustin.

"No," he sighs.

"You seriously thought they'd just hide keys in there?"

"There's gotta be a spare." I look around to find some keys in a box.

"Guys?"

"Yeah?" Dustin and I answer.

"How big did you say that Demogorgon was?"

"Big. Nine feet or so. Why?"

"That shit was big as hell, and ugly," I say.

"You guys ready to go-" I look around, "where's Erica?" I hear a zapping sound and turn around to see her with a weapon.

"What is that?" Dustin asks.

"A deadly weapon. Could be useful."

"For what?"

"What do you think? Taking out commies, saving your friends."

"Thought you are more realistic than that, nerd," Dustin says.

"Ha, nerd," I laugh. She rolls her eyes.

"We don't even know where they are, and even if we did, there are a million guards up there with weapons deadlier than that," Dustin explains.

"Get in," I say.

"Okay, fine," Dustin hops in. Erica is in the middle.

"I can't believe you like Harrington," Erica says.

"Me neither," Dustin says. "Mind blowing."

I laugh and shake my head, "seriously?"

"Yeah, whenever I brought up his name you would roll your eyes."

"That's because Steve is annoying and has cooties," I say.

"That's true," Erica nods.

"Can I tell Steve?" Dustin asks.

"What? No," I furrow my eyebrows. "Why the hell would you tell him?"

"So I can make love happen," Dustin says.

"Like what I do to my Barbie's," Erica smirks.

"Okay, I do not want to know what you do with your Barbie's." Erica shrugs and smiles. I put the car in park and we hop out to see guards in front of a door. They spot us and Erica charges at them with the stick and shocks them. The Russians see this and press an alarm.

"Shit," I mumble. We open the door to see Steve and Robin. Dustin grabs the stick from Erica and shocks the finger cutting doctor.

"Hey! Henderson! Johnson! That's crazy, I was just talking about you two!" Steve slurs.

"Did they drug you," I open his eyes.

"Oh, my God!" Robin squeals.

"Get ready to run," I tell them while untying Robin and Dustin untying Steve.
