"Hey guys, over here!" Dustin called out standing in front of the scoops ahoy with Steve behind the counter.

They ran over and gave welcoming hugs before walking to the counter to get their treats.

"Still want the usual?" Steve asked from behind the counter earning nods and smiles from the boys.

They watched as he scooped their ice creams and put them in a cone to hand to them. They smiled and sat down at a table to talk.

"So... how has Max been doing?" Mike asked in between licking his ice cream.

Lucas frowned at the question. It was obviously a hard topic for him to talk about because the love of his life might never wake up from her coma. He hoped that she could hear him whenever he visited so she didn't feel alone.

"Not that well. That doctors don't know if she will ever wake up." Lucas replied, looking down at his lap.

Dustin gave him a comforting pat on the back.

"She will be ok! I bet she'll wake up any day now." Dusin smiled at the sad boy.

They continued eating their ice cream while making small conversation when Mike casually brought up Will's powers forgetting they hadn't told the other two boys.

"Wait so you're saying you're like El now? I'M JEALOUS!" Dusin exclaimed, earning laughs from the table.

"Can you show us something?" Lucas asked.

Will nodded hesitantly before looking over at the scoops ahoy. He focused on a napkin and threw it at Steve's face. Steve swatted it away confused and spun around to see what happened. The four boys erupted into laughter as Will wiped the fresh blood away from his nose.

"Ok we should probably start heading to the hospital to see Max before it gets too late." Lucas announced to the group.

They knew Steve's shift was ending soon so they went up to the counter to beg him for a ride to the hospital.

"PLEEEEASE STEVE!! We need to see Max, you can come see her too that wayyy!" Dusin begged Steve.

After a while of begging and pleading coming from mostly dustin, Steve gave in.

"Fine, just wait like 5 minutes. My shift is about to end." He said with an eye roll while walking to the back room to get cleaning supplies and his car keys.

They celebrated while running back to their chairs to wait.
