We've been walking for a while now

"I mean, you have to admit, as a feat of engineering alone, this is impressive."Dustin says, I tilt my head in a meh way

"What are you talking about? It's a total fire hazard. There's no stairs, there's no exit, there's just an elevator that drops you halfway to hell."Steve complains

"They're Commies. You don't pay people, they cut corners."Erica informs

To be fair to our Russian comrades,I don't think this tunnel was designed

for walking."Robin starts

"Think about it, they developed the perfect system for transporting that cargo."I continue

"It all comes into the mall like any old delivery."Dustin says

"And then they load it up onto those trucks and nobody's the wiser."Robin states

"You think they built this whole mall so they could transport that green poison?"Steve asks

"I very seriously doubt it's something as boring as poison.It's gotta be much more valuable, like promethium or something."I suggest

"What the hell is promethium?"Steve asks

"It's what Victor Stone's dad used to make Cyborg's bionic and cybernetic components."Robin answered

"You're all so nerdy, it makes me physically ill."Erica says

"No, no, no. No, don't lump me in with them. I'm not a nerd, all right?"Steve says, I give him an offended look.

"Why so sensitive, Harrington?"Robin teases

"Afraid of losing cool points to a ten-year-old child?"I tease as well, Steve sighs

"No, I'm just saying I don't know jack shit about Prometheus."Steve tells us

"Promethium Prometheus is a Greek mythological figure, but whatever. All I'm saying is,it's probably being used to make something."Dustin states

"Or power something."Robin suggests

"Like a nuclear weapon?"I question

"Totally."Robin replied

"Walking towards a nuclear weapon. That's great. That'd be great."Steve mutters

"But if they're building something,why here? I mean, Hawkins. Seriously. Of all places. At the very best, we're a toilet stop on your way to Disneyland,but maybe that's it. Maybe it's our very..."I ramble

"I'm sorry, is there something you'd like to share with the class?"Robin says, then we hear Russian come through the walkie

'Walkie."Steve and Dustin say

"A trip to China sounds nice.If you tread lightly."Robin speaks in Russian

'It's the code."I realise

" Wherever that broadcast is coming from..."Dustin starts

"It's close."I finish

"And if there's one thing we know about that signal..."Robin begins

"It can reach the surface."I complete

"Let's go."Robin says as we continue to wander through the hall.

We arrive to a big area but a lot of people everywhere

"Shit"Steve whisper shouts, as we hide behind a box

"Jesus!"I exclaim

"Red Dawn."Steve says

"I saw it."Erica speaks up, I look at her confused

"First floor, northwest."She continues

"Saw what?"Steve asks

"The comms room."Erica tells us

"You saw the comms room?"Steve questions

"Correct."Erica responds

"Are you sure?"I ask her

"Positive. The door was open for a second, and I saw a bunch of lights and machines and shit in there."Erica explained

"That could be a hundred different things."Dustin says

"I'll take those odds."Robin says, I agree with her, Steve sighs

"All right.We're gonna move fast, we're gonna stay low Okay?"Steve orders

"Okay."We agree

"Shh! Move it."

"Let's go."Steve whisper shouts, as we make it to the door

"Sh, sh. Come on."

"Tread lightly! Tread lightly!"I tell him in Russian

"Who are you?"The Russian asks confused

"Silver cat... Silver cat."Robin tries saying

"I don't understand."The Russian responds

"China?"Robin questions, he goes for his gun and I go to attack but Steve does first, he actually won.

"Dude! You did it! You won a fight!"Dustin says

"What are you doing?"Erica asks, as Dustin unclips something from the Russian

"Getting us our ticket out of here."Dustin replies

"You want to walk all the way back?"Erica exclaims

"Well, we can hang out for a little bit, relax, have a picnic maybe."Dustin says sarcastically

"Have a picnic? We came here for the radio."Erica argues

"This plan is way better. If I knew Steve could knock out a Russian,"Dustin argues back.

I see Robin disappear

"Guys. There's something up there. Let's go."Robin says, we follow her until we see it

"Holy shit"Dustin says

"Fuck"I say, my eyes widdened. The gate, it's being opened
