After everyone had suited up and picked the weapons of their choice the group rushed back into the van and drive back to Hawkins, it was sunset when they arrived back at the Creel house. Max, Lucas, and Erica were the first to be dropped off before the rest made their way back to the Munson's trailer. As the group drew closer they parked the trailer and prepared to sneak back into the Munson home.
"Okay. I wanna run through it one more time, Phase one." Nancy says turning to face the rest of the group. "We meet Erica at the playground. She'll signal Max and Lucas when we're ready." Robin says.
"Phase two." Nancy points over to Steve. "Max baits Vecna. He'll go after her, which'll put him in his trance." Steve replies as Nancy's eyes move over to Dustin.
"Phase three?" She asked. "Me, Eddie, and (Y/n) draw the bats away," Dustin says, Eddie lifts his arm up and places it on Dustin's shoulder while (Y/n) looks at Eddie and then at Dustin.
"Four," Nancy says looking back at Robin. "We head into Vecna's hopefully newly bat-free lair, and... Flanbé," Robin says picking up the glass bottle which was filled with lighter fluid, the liquid sloshing around as she shook it.
"Nobody moves on to the next phase until we've all copied. Nobody deviates from the plan, no matter what. Got it?" Nancy says as everyone nods. "Got it." They all chimed in, grabbing their weapons they head for the exit and quickly run over to the trailer.
"Be careful," Dustin says as Steve put down his bag of supplies. "Thanks, buddy," Steve says grabbing onto the rope they had used before.
"Here goes nothing." He says pulling himself up and through the gate, flipping upside down, and then landing on his feet. "Woah, what does he want us to do, applaud?" Robin asked her voice filled with sarcasm as she looked at Nancy which made (Y/n) chuckle.
"You gotta admit Rob, that looked cool." (Y/n) says looking up at the ceiling not catching the fact that Robin was rolling her eyes with a smile. Steve quickly went back over to Eddie's room and took the mattress placing it under the gate like they had done before. "All right, let's go." He says Nancy gave her bag to Robin before climbing up into the Upside-Down, followed by their supplies, then Eddie, Robin, Dustin, and lastly (Y/n). Once everyone had landed safely the group went back outside.
"Hey, guys, listen. If things here start to go south, I mean, at all, you abort." Steve says turning around to face Dustin, Eddie, and (Y/n). "Okay? Draw the attention of the bats, keep 'em busy for a minute or two, and we'll take care of Vecna. Don't try to be cute or a hero or something. Okay? You guys are just-" Steve warns but Dustin cuts him off tired of his droning.
"Decoys. Don't worry, you can be the hero, Steve." Dustin reassured the other as Eddie nods. "Absolutely, I mean look at us, we are not heroes," Eddie says, after that the four stand in silence before Steve turns back around to leave.
