"Hey." Steve looked back at Clove. "All good?"

She forced a smile. "All good."

"Worried about your lady friend?" he asked as Clove held the bow in hand, slightly scaring him.

"Yeah." she exhaled. "I wish I would have stayed."

"It was your idea to fireball, we aren't gonna do it without you." he went on, close behind Nancy.

"Will was trying to fireball." Clove admitted, Steve gave her a look. "The might he went missing. He rolled the dice, trying to fireball, i'm pretty sure."

Steve frowned his eyebrows. "What are you saying?"

"I'm saying this might not the the best idea. Like, that memory is trying to warn me." the blonde admitted, her ankle hurting slightly after taking a step and twisting it slightly.

"You don't think we should kill this dude?" he rose an eyebrow at her.

"No, I do." she corrected. "But, I think putting Max in the ring of fire is the wrong move. We need to roll again."

"I don't think we have time to roll again." Dustin walked next to her. "You focus on saving her, I focus on saving you."

Clove inhaled. "Deal."

They walked into Eddie's trailer as a group, though, they'd leave divided.

"Be carful." Dustin looked to Steve.

"Thanks buddy." he patted his back, going up the bedsheet rope and landed on his feet.

"Woah. What does he want us to do, applaud?" Robin mocked as Clove hid a laugh.

One after the other, they each followed and hit the mattress. Clove breathed in when her back hit it, her hair bouncing slightly before she was grabbed and yanked out of the way. Dustin tossed his bag down to her before being the last to come down, Nancy pushed the trailer door open.

"Hey, guys, listen." Steve turned to Dustin and Eddie. "If things here start to go south, I mean, at all, you abort. Okay? Draw the attention of the bats. Keep 'em busy for a minute or two. We'll take care of Vecna. Don't try to be cute or be a hero or something. Okay? You guys are just-"

"Decoys." Dustin and Steve said on sync.

"He wants to be the hero." Clove jokingly whispered to Dustin, getting a look of disbelief from Steve.

"Don't worry, you can be the hero." the Henderson boy shrugged.

"I mean, look at us." Eddie looked to Dustin with a laugh. "We are not the hero's."

"I don't know about that one." Clove tossed an arm around Dustin. "He did save me from being eating by the Demogorgan once."

"Mike said he was the one to save you." Nancy spoke up.
