      WHEN THEY got closer to the War Zone, Nancy goes over what they need, she'll need to stop by the guns section to grab a shotgun, Robin and Steve will go and grab the kerosene, rags and bottles to make the molotovs they'll throw at Vecna, Max looks for whatever she needs for her side of the plan while Val can go with Erica to go grab knives, nails, garbage bin lids and whatever other stuff that Eddie and Dustin will need for their base in Eddie's Upside Down trailer home.

And then they stuck Dustin and Lucas with Eddie in the RV since everyone is associating the Hellfire club with the "murder" as well. The other six enter the store now, Erica leading the way with Valerie right behind her before she comes to a stop, the other older teens behind her. "So much for avoiding angry hicks." Robin glanced over at Nancy.

"Let's be... fast." The Wheeler tells them. "Yep." Max says as Valerie nods. "Definitely." Erica says and they all go their separate ways, Max by herself, Nancy by herself and Steve with Robin. Erica and Valerie grab a cart, the younger steering it and grabbing whatever they think they need, Valerie placing it gently into the cart while Erica would push it off the shelf and land it right into the cart.

"Robin? Why are you so quiet?" Steve asked as they were grabbing the kerosene cans after he grabbed a new shirt and jacket, along with a new pair of shoes. "Nothing." She said curtly, grabbing another can before she walks off so the boy quickly follows behind. "I know why. And I know it's cause of Val." He says and she glanced back at the taller.

"Yeah, I guess I'm worried." She merely says and Steve frowns. "Why?" She asked and Robin sighs. "Maybe because I love her? And the whole Vecna thing literally just earlier today was scary as hell..." She says and Steve just nodded softly as he looks around, finding the rags and grabbing a whole bunch. "Yeah... I mean, it was pretty scary. I thought I was gonna lose my best friend any moment." He turned back to face the younger teen.

"But... I don't know, I trust Nance and I trust Val, their plan will work." He nods and she sighed, looking around. She catches Valerie off at a nearby section to see she's talking to Erica, unsure about what but smiled softly when the older pulled the young girl into a hug that Erica accepted and hugged back.

She turns back to Steve, nodding. "Yeah..." She agrees before they continue to shop since Nancy said to be fast. Meanwhile, the reason Val had stopped Erica is because she wanted to ask if she's sure about this, about being there with Max and Lucas. "I mean... this is scary. And you know that, you saw me under Vecna's spell or whatever... that shit's scary. And you're only eleven years old, Erica." She says and Erica just frowned up at her.

"My brother and his friends were only twelve." She says and Val sighs. "And it was all a very scary experience for them too... I just wanna know if you're 100% sure, going into this, I mean. We don't know for sure what happens. Because this is just the plan, not what will happen when it all goes down." She says and Erica just nodded softly. "Of course I'm 100% sure. Lucas is my brother, Dustin and Eddie are my friends, I've bled with them. In D&D." She says to clarify and Val nods.

"Okay, Erica..." She said then smiled softly. "You're a brave kid." She says before she pulls the shorter into her arms, hugging tightly so Erica hugs back just as tight. "Hey, isn't that Jason with Nancy?" Erica asked suddenly and Val quickly retracted, looking over to see the blond at the guns counter, nearby Nancy who turned towards him, shotgun in hand.

She watched as Jason walked closer to Nancy, talking to her before grabbing the barrel of the gun very suddenly. "Um, maybe it's time to go, Erica..." Valerie says, glancing to the side and seeing more boys in Varsity jackets. Erica nods, steering the cart around only to stop when there's two more, looking at a knife.

"Not that way..." Val backs up, her arm around Erica's shoulders as they quickly made their way to the cash register, seeing Max, Steve and Robin there as well. "You okay?" Robin asked right away and Val pointed over her shoulder. "Oh, you know... Jason and his friends." She merely replied with as they all quickly pay, Nancy meeting them at the door.

The group rush around to the back, Steve heading in first. "What happened?" Lucas asked him right away. "We gotta go." The older teenage boy says quickly in response, tossing the bag of supplies he got to Eddie as Erica goes in next. "Your old friends are here." She told her brother. "Shit!" Lucas says as Robin, Valerie and Nancy got in the RV next, Max following shortly behind.

"Let's go! Let's go!" Dustin shouted. "I'm going! I'm going! Sit down!" Steve yelled as he started the engine and drove off after everyone took their seats. They arrive to a big open field along the way, Steve parking the RV and everyone got to work, Dustin and Eddie worked on their shields which were just the garbage can lids with nails sticking through them, Erica and Lucas worked on the spears.

Max helped Nancy saw off the barrel of her shotgun as Robin, Steve and Valerie sat together nearby the RV. Valerie watched Eddie and Dustin with a small smile as the two wrestled around. She's filling up the bottles with kerosene as Steve holds the bottle and funnel for her, then he hands it over to Robin who puts the rags in the bottle before setting them down to the other side of her. "Okay, you guys need to talk." Steve said suddenly.

It's too quiet, especially for someone like Robin and Val who enables those fast paced rambling. "What?" The two girls looked to him, confused then glanced at one another. Steve intervening or putting himself in the middle of them never happened, he kept to himself and minded his business when the girls bickered over a disagreement, but for some reason, he had the need to do so just now.
