A MATCH MADE IN HELLFIRE///e.m

Uncle Johnny

TWO DAYS LATER

"WHERE'S SAM?" ELEVEN asked.

"And Lucas and Max?" Will questioned.

"They're at the hospital," Dustin replied.

"Are they hurt?" El asked.

"Oh God... you don't know." Dustin said softly. Elevens face went to panic as she looked at Will.

"Take me." El demanded.

The door opened and Sam turned to the side, Mike, Will, Eleven, Jonathan and Nancy walked in.

"Oh my, God." Mike exhaled, seeing his sister in the hospital bed.

"We've been calling you guys like crazy." Lucas gave Mike a big hug.

"I know. We came as soon as we heard." Mike rubbed Lucas's back.

"Is she okay?" Mike asked looking at Sam. "Hey Mike." Sam spoke softly.

"Hey." Mike came over and held Sam's hand. "I'm sorry, I wasn't here." he apologized.

"No, it's fine. I'm glad you were with El, she needed you. And I'm okay, I'm fine-" Sam started to cough hardly.

"Sam." El sighed in relief when she saw Sam, she came over and hugged her in her bed, "Hey El, and watch the cords and tubes please." She said laughing gently.

"Sorry." El said softly, letting go.

"Oh my, God. Sam, your leg..." Nancy whispered, uncovering the blanket over her cast.

"I know right? They said it's clean in half, pretty fucked up right," Sam giggled.

"Well I think it's very metal." Eddie said behind the kids.

"Hey, Eds." Sam smiled.

"Hey, sweetheart. I brought you some cherry Jello because I know it's literally the only thing you'll eat out of all this shitty hospital food." Eddie sat next to her bed on a chair. Eddie struggled to sit comfortably, he had stitches and gauze wrapped around his chest and torso from a Demo-Bat attack.

"Where's Steve? And Dustin and Robin?" Sam asked eagerly.

"They're at the High School." Nancy said, "Sorting donations, making food, handing out water, for everyone who lost their homes in the, 'earthquake." Nancy held up air quotes on "earthquake."

"Sounds fun," Sam coughed again.

"Hey, you know what. Since we're all here, we should sign that cast of yours, huh?" Jonathan asked pulling out a sharpie. "Yeah, sure." Sam smiled as Eddie helped her sit up.

"Okay, me first." Eddie stole the marker from Jonathan's hand.

"Who is this guy?" Jonathan asked breathily, smiling at Sam.

"My boyfriend." Sam smiled back at Jonathan.

Eddie looked up at Sam, about to write on her cast. "Really?" He smiled widely. "I'm your boyfriend?" He exhaled sharply through his smile.
