(y/n) - your name

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"No I'm not from here, I'm from Australia ok. Where America has their SAT exams and your GPA, we have our equivalent which is the HSC exams and ATAR." (y/n) explains. "Physics was one of the classes that help you raise your ATAR ranking, or in your case, get you a higher GPA." Everyone lets out an 'oh' in understanding. "Wait, why am I explaining myself to you? Dustin continue."

"Uh, thanks (y/n)... As I was saying, in the presence of a stronger electromagnetic field, the needle will deflect towards that power. So either there's some super big magnet around here, or..."

"There's a gate." Lucas finishes for Dustin.

"A gate we don't know about." (y/n) and Billy say and the kids nod at the couple.

"It'd have to be smaller. Way less powerful." Dustin says.

"Snack-size gate." Robin comments and (y/n) chuckles at the wording.

"That's cute."

"Thanks sweetie."

"How? Why?" Steve asks and Dustin doesn't know the answer to that exactly, knowing that there is something causing a disturbance and he hopes it was a gate.

"And I hope it is because then we'd have a way to Vecna."

"And a shot at freeing Max and (y/n) from this curse." Billy says, looking at his girls warily with hope. Dustin suddenly starts walking off but Steve stops him like an unhappy mother scolding her kid, explaining how Eddie is still a wanted man and that the group can't just walk through the woods easily.

"This little steel capsule might be the key to saving Max, (y/n) and Eddie. What say you, Eddie the Banished?" Dustin waves his hands to Eddie and everyone turns to look at him as he thinks deeply.

"I say you're asking me to follow you into Mordor, which, if I'm totally straight with you, I think is a really bad idea." Steve nods at Eddie's words "But, uh, the Shire... the Shire is burning." everyone turns back to Dustin to see him bouncing excitedly at Eddie's words and Steve frowns knowing exactly what that meant. "So Mordor it is." Eddie says, standing up like an adventurer going on a quest before walking past everyone to follow Dustin.

"What is Mordor?" Steve asks.

"I think it's from a book? It sounds like it is." (y/n) shrugs, giggling as Eddie suddenly runs back to grab his stuff clumsily, sending her a smile. Billy raises a brow at the interaction, standing next to his girlfriend as Eddie stands on her other side. "Was that from a book?" she asks him and the metalhead nods eagerly.

"It is actually! From a series that I have been reading."

"Wow, didn't think you knew how to read Munson." Billy says and (y/n) shoots him a look.

"What's the genre?" his girlfriend asks the metalhead. "Fiction?"

"Yes! From a series actually."

"I haven't had the chance to get back into reading lately, maybe I'll give it a go. What's it called?"

"You read!?" Eddie gasps in excitement that he gets to share his passion with someone, (y/n) nodding. "It's called-"

"-remember, she's my girlfriend." Billy hisses at Eddie as he pulls his love close against his side, her raising a brow at the clearly jealous boyfriend.

"Man, I know she's your girlfriend. Damn." Eddie raises his hands in defence, taking a step back. "We're just talking about books."

"No need to be jealous love, I'm all yours." (y/n) whispers, smirking at her boyfriend who nods, squeezing her hip. Steve rubs his chest watching the two guys fawn over the girl he loves behind him, not noticing Robin giving the dejected guy a sad look.
