Tied | Steve Harrington

Chapter Two

After a bit of introduction from everyone and explanation, we all sat down around Eddie's Trailer. 

"I like how the only one surprised here is me!" I whisper yelled at the people in the room.

"I mean, we fought the Demogorgon, the Demo-Dogs, the Mind Flayer, and we were just standing in the Upside Down... I mean.. Time Travel wasn't expected but it's not surprising" Dustin said.

"You have a point Dustin, but if what she's saying is true then, none of us are real? we are someones creations, SOMEONE WHO IS HER DAD!" Lucas said in a panic tone. 

Dustin pinched Lucas' cheek harshly, "OW, What's that for?" Lucas cried. "See? You're real." Dustin smirked. 

"This just makes my head hurt" Nancy said, stepping out of the room.

"Second that" I said, forcing a smile. "I just want to go home, but you guys seem to be super busy with your situation.. This Vecna dude sounds like a pain in the ass." I followed.

"I'm sure I can find my way back" I say, standing up from the floor. 

"Like hell you can." Eddie snarled. "I'll help you, Not sure how, but I will."

"Thank you, Really..." I smiled at him. 

"Let's just get this straight. You were reading some book titled 'Stranger Things' and then you woke up in the Upside Down?" Steve stepped in. 

"That would be correct." I replied.

"Shit. Usually in movies there's clues and time machines and all that sort of stuff." Dustin sighed.  "There's nothing... It'- It's like you appeared and disappeared.." 

"I think we have bigger issues to worry about" Nancy said, coming back in the room, a frown formed on my face.

They all stepped out of the room one by one.

Steve's P.O.V 

"Whatever's happening in Lenora is connected to all of this"

I heard them say, My mind running in circles from what just happened. 'Problem after problem, I just graduated man.. I want to settle down.. Bunch of bullshit.' 

"We have to go back to the Upside Down-"

"Whoa, no, no, no what?" I cut them off. "We barely made it out.."

"I'm gonna look for her, she might be useful, might as well come with.." I said to the group. I headed back Inside Eddie's trailer. "Uh- What?" I whispered, I looked around for Stephanie but she was nowhere to be found. "guys?" 

"She's gone"

Stephanie's P.O.V

"Fuck sake" I said, feeling a burning pain on the side of my temple.

I opened my eyes, fireworks exploding around. My eyes widened as I examined my surroundings, Steve was leaning over the ledge in front of me wearing a sailors uniform alongside a short hair blonde girl who wore the same thing. "Hey, asshole over here!" Steve said as he chucked another firework. My eyes traveled to where it would hit and I saw this big tentacle like creature. 'Mind Flayer?' My mind wondered.

"Steve..?" I whispered, my voice felt tired. He, thankfully, heard. "Yea?- Who are you?" He said as he looked back at me. "What?" I asked, still on the ground trying to fix myself up.

"How do you know my name?" He asked.

"I- Well.. I thought we went through that already?.. Did I pass out?" I asked. "Look, I have no idea who you are but we are in the middle of something, as you can see." he replied, bringing his focus back to the creature.

'Did I somehow go back in time?? I mean, Steve does look younger and he doesnt recognize me- then that must mean-' I leaned up to the ledge and as I thought I would, saw Max's brother standing in front of Eleven. 

"It- It's going to kill him" I say. "What?" Steve asked, reverting his focus back on you. Just on queue, the creature latches his arms into Billy's chest, his body falling on the ground. 

I move my head to the side, staring at Steve's figure. He looks back down at you dumbfounded.

After the Incident, the group went to Hopper's cabin. I explained top to bottom how I got here and how I knew the future for them, about Vecna and his Curse. 

"Waiiiiit, I get to be friends with Eddie Munson??" Dustin cheers,

Everyone in the room mentally facepalms at his statement. Everyone in the room starts making up theories about to get me out and how to stop everything from happening once more.

"Hey.." A voice said behind me, I turned around and saw Steve.
