"Yeah, that's not creepy." Steve exhaled as he stared up at the house Max had in her drawings.

"Let me see." Lucas took Peter face as he examined his nose. "Doesn't seem like you've got a bleed in a while. How's the headaches?"

"Haven't gotten one today." he explained with his hands in his pockets. "So there's a plus."

"There's a plus." Dustin confirmed.

"I mean, what exactly are we suppose to be looking for in this shithole?" Steve looked back at the group as him and Nancy tore the nails from the boarded up door.

"Did everyone eat breakfast this morning? I mean, if we're fighting demons, I feel like we all should have a protein shake" Bradley leaned on the railing of the stairs, only for it to break due to the old wood, falling backwards with it into the bushes.

"Okay, ouch." Max shook her head.

"You're so cool, Brad." Peter reached his hand down to pull him up. "I wanna be just like you."

"I know you do." Bradley dusted off his polo. "I know."

"We just know this house is important to Vecna." Nancy answered Steve's previous question about the house.

"Because Max saw it in Vecna's red soup mind world?" Steve glanced over his shoulder to Max, next to Peter.

"Maybe it holds a clue to where Vecna is. Why he's back. Why he killed the Creels." Dustin shrugged as he counted off on his fingers. "And how to stop him before he comes back for Max and takes Peter next."

"Yeah, let's hurry up with that plan." Peter inhaled deeply. He wished El was here, she'd be able to calm his nerves the most.

"We don't think he's in here, do we?" Lucas gave a worried look.

"Guess we'll find out." his ex girlfriend look over. Peter held his breath as Steve and Nancy yanked the board down. Bradley coughed when the dust flew in his direction.

"It's locked." Steve pulled one the door knob. "Should I knock, see if anybody's home?"

"We can pretend to be girl scouts." Peter agreed with him.

"No need." Robin spoke up, holding a brick. "I found a key."

Bradley winced when she tossed it through the window stain, gapping over at Peter. "This is the company you keep?"

"We aren't always like this." he shook his head, patting his back and encouraging him to follow after Steve reached in and unlocked it.

"Looks like someone forgot to pay their electric bill." Lucas pointed
out when attempting to turn a lamp on.

"And call Spider-Man." Peter gave a frightened look at all the Spider-Webs.

"Peter. Peter Parker." Bradley confirmed as he looked back at him. "Peter Parker."
