Johnathan tries to open the gate door and Dustin also tries.
"So who's this?" Nancy asks.
"This is Thirteen. She's from the lab." Steve said. "She saved my ass earlier so she's drained."
Thirteen is asleep in Steve's arms. Steve looks down and smiles at her.
Suddenly, the gate opens. "Come on everybody! Get in!" Johnathan says.
Steve gets in the back with Thirteen still sleeping. He holds her so she's laying down.
The car stops at some glass doors and Hopper is dragging Joyce out of the building.
Hopper is holding Will and Mike is behind Hopper.
"Get in!" Nancy yells. This wakes Thirteen.
"Steve, what's going on?" Thirteen grumbles.
"We're just saving some people. Don't worry, we're safe." Steve says.
Hopper, Mike, Joyce, and Will get in the car. Will is sedated. "Why were you guys here?!?" Hopper says, frustrated.
"We were trying to find Mike and Will and then we ran into the others." Johnathan says.
Hopper looks in the back at Lucas, Max, Steve, Dustin, and Thirteen.
"Oh my god, Thee! What are you doing here? Are you ok?" Hopper asks.
"It's a long story." Thirteen mutters.
"She's drained. She killed like 30 mini Demogorgon things." Steve says.
"Yeah it was badass!" Dustin says.
"Where are we going?" Joyce asks.
"Our house." Johnathan says.
Thirteen falls back asleep on Steve's lap.
________________________________
An hour later, Thirteen wakes up on a couch and someone is yelling into a phone.
"Hey Thee." Steve says.
"Hey Steve." Thirteen says. "Where's Hopper?"
"He's making a few phone calls." Steve says.
Hopper walks into the living room where Thirteen is laying down.
"Hey Thee." Hopper says. He hugs her. Thirteen hugs him back. "I'm sorry for whatever I did that made you leave." Hopper says. "I'm happy you're safe." Hopper walks into the hallway.
Thirteen gets up and sits at a table with a bunch of kids.
"Who are you?" Mike asks.
"Thirteen." Thirteen says. "Who are you?"
"Mike." Mike says. "Are you from the lab?"
Thirteen nods her head.
Mike starts talking about Bob. "We can't let him die in vain." He says.
"Well what do you want to do Mike? We can't stop those Demo-Dogs on our own." Dustin says.
"Demo-Dogs?" Max asks.
"What? They're Demogorgons but they look like dogs." Dustin says.
"His army." Mike says.
"What do you mean?" Steve asks.
"Maybe if we stop him, we can stop his army!" Mike says. He grabs a picture of the shadow monster.
"The shadows monster is like a virus, it connects Will to the tunnels, upside down, everything!" Mike says.
"Woah woah woah, slow down." Steve says.
"It's like what Mr. Clarke taught us, the hive mind." Mike says.
"Hive mind?" Steve asks.
"It's a super organism." Dustin says.
"It's the brain." Mike says.
"Like the Mind Flayer." Dustin says.
"What?" Steve and Thirteen say.
Everyone in the house goes to the table.
"The Mind Flayer." Dustin says.
"The hell is that?" Hopper asks.
"It's so ancient, it doesn't even know it's own home. It thinks it's the master race." Dustin says.
"Oh uh, like the Germans." Steve says.
Thirteen laughs. Hopper taught her and El about the Nazis and the Germans before.
"The Nazis?" Dustin asks.
"Yea yeah the Nazis." Steve says.
"If the Nazis we're from another dimension, totally." Dustin says.
"We are talking about the destruction of our world as we know it." Lucas says.
Steve walks away, frustrated.
"What are we doing here?" Hopper says.
"I thought we were waiting for your military backup!" Dustin says.
"We are!" Hopper says.
Thirteen walks over to Steve. "You okay Steve?" Thirteen asks.
"Yeah, just frustrated." Steve says. Thirteen hugs Steve.
"Don't worry, everything will be alright." Thirteen says.
"Yeah I know." Steve says.
Steve and Thirteen follow everyone as they leave the room.
Will is laying on a couch. "Yeah but, he can't spy if he doesn't know where he is." Mike says.
Everyone goes into the old barn in the back and they empty everything out.
Everyone starts covering the walls with whatever they can find.
Then they tie Will to a chair and everyone but Hopper, Mike, Johnathan, and Joyce leave.
