(Ep. 7: The Bite)

Gwen was more than ecstatic to see the mall's loading docks.

She leaned her head back and sighed in delight once the warm July air brushed against her cheeks. The air seemed to smell better, feel better, and even taste better. Sure, it was a little humid and it would make her hair more frizzy than it already was, but she was living the life right now.

Steve held her waist and spun her toward him. Her chest slammed right into his, sending them stumbling down the concrete floor. They giggled uncontrollably and sprawled all around the ground before attempting to stand up. If it weren't for Robin helping them, they would've been stuck for good.

The three were filled with immense joy. Not a single bad thought ran through their minds as all they could focus on was dancing to the imaginary music. Steve offered his hand to Gwen and gave her a quick twirl that sent her spinning around the dock. Next, he took Robin's hand and did the same, making her spin uncontrollably until she bumped into Gwen that brought out another fit of laughter.

Fading out the annoyed yells from their friends, they danced around like crazy kids and allowed their laughs to become louder by the second. Their smiles grew wider and their hearts were overwhelmed with ecstasy that for a mere moment, they seemed to forget all about the Russians.

But, then, a group of Russians came running through the gate.

It took Gwen a while to register what was happening. She only felt the hard yank of her brother dragging her through the side door into the back corridors of the mall. The only place that was still open was Starcourt Cinema, which was the least convenient place for the armed guards, but perfect for them.

"Seriously? The movies?" Daphne complained in a whisper. "You couldn't have chosen a better place?"

"Do you have a better idea?" Dustin stood on his tiptoes, searching for any empty seats. He could only hope his plan worked, seeing as he didn't want to die watching Back to the Future.

Gwen's eyes lit up, "I've been meaning to see this movie!"

She had been trying to convince Steve to watch it with her, but he claimed it was nothing but a nerdy movie not meant for someone as cool as him. Now, it seemed he was going to watch it with her whether he liked it or not.

An older man with round glasses looked back at them, "SHH!"

Steve shot her a look, "No, you shush!"

(It should be noted that even during his drugged state, there was one thing he was certain about.

And it was protecting his girl.)

Dustin sensed his defensiveness and held him by the forearm to avoid him getting into an altercation with the man. He nodded to the rest to follow and guided them to the front, where three empty seats stood next to the other.
