EPISODE THREE the monster and the superhero.
THE GROUP arrived back at reefer rick's house early the next morning to check on eddie and bring him food. they saw him look out the window, and as steve kicked the door down, eddie screamed.
"delivery service?" dustin frowned and eddie let out a breath, "jesus christ." he glared at them as both steve and nova waved awkwardly.
eddie immediately began to scoff the cereal they had got him as dustin began to tell him what they knew. "so, we got good news and bad news." he said slowly. "how do you prefer it?"
"bad news first, always." eddie said without hesitation. "all right. bad news...we tapped into the hawkins pd dispatch with out cerebro, and they're definitely looking for you...also, they're, uh, pretty convinced you killed chrissy."
"like, 100% kind of convinced." max spoke up as eddies eyes widened in fear. "and the good news?" he spoke, almost nervous to ask.
"your name hasn't gone public yet." robin smiled as eddie sighed. "but if we found out about you, it's only a matter of time before others do and once that gets out, everyone and their shallow-minded mother is gonna be gunning for you."
"hunt the freak, right?" eddies lip trembled slightly as he spoke. they all nodded, "exactly." robin nodded, "shit." he whispered.
"so, before that happens, we need to find vecna, kill him, and prove your innocence." dustin grinned, "that's all, dustin? that's all?" eddie pulled a face.
"yeah, no, that's pretty much it."
"listen, eddie, i know everything dustin is saying sounds totally delusional, but we've actually been through this before. i mean, they have...a few times, and i have once. mine was more human-flesh-based, theirs was more smoke-related, but bottom line is, collectively, i really feel we got this." robin rambled as everyone stared at her.
"yeah, see, we usually rely on this girl who has super powers. but, uh, those went bye-bye, so..." steve began as robin finished, "so, we're technically in more of the—"
"kinda—" steve continued as nova rolled her eyes at them all talking over each other. "brainstorming phase." everyone nodded at her words, clapping as she got the word they was looking for.
"there...there's nothing to worry about." dustin spluttered, steve scoffed, agreeing with him as eddie looked at them as if they were insane.
the sounds of police sirens filled their ears as eddie immediately got under the tarp and the group ran to the window to check it out. the police cars and an ambulance were driving past the house and near the road.
