━━━━━━━━━━━ Steve is back downstairs sitting on the lounge in between Dustin and Lucas as they continue to watch Max as she still is writing.

"I know you guys are staring at me" Max suddenly says making them jump and pretend they are doing something else

"What? Sorry"

"You said you needed something?"

"Just handing out"

"How do you think your eyes boring into the back of my head is protecting me from Vecna, i don't know" Max says grabbing a bunch of envelopes and stands up

She walks towards the three where Lucas and Dustin are reading something while Steve is throwing a ball above his head.

"You can look at me now" Max says making them stop and apologise

Max then hands each one of the boys en envelope that has their names written on the front.

"Oh, and, um, give these to Mike, El and Will. If you can ever get a hold of them again" she says handing Lucas the letters "And, um, give this (y/n) when you find her" she says handing Steve the extra letter

The boys then start to open the letters only for Max to stop them.

"What are you doing? No, don't. That's not for now. Don't open it now" Max says stopping them "Don't. Okay"

"Max, what is this?" Lucas akss her

"It's, um. It's a fail-safe. For after. If things don't work out" Max tells him

"Wait, whoa. Max, things are gonna work out" Lucas says sitting up

"No! No, i don't need you to reassure me and tell me it's all gonna work out. Because people have been telling me that my entire life and it's almost never true. It's never true. I mean, of course this asshole curses me. Should of seen that one coming" Max snaps sadly and she looks over at the table where the supercomm sits and grabs it "If we go to East Hawkins, will this reach Pennhust?" she asks

"Of course. Yeah" Dustin answers

"Why are we talking about East Hawkins?" Steve asks her and they all look at him "No. No. No!"

"Max. Max. Seriously" Steve says running after her to the car "Seriously, we're not driving you anywhere"

"Steve, if you think i'm going to spend what is likely that last day of my life in the armpit that is Mike Wheelers basement, then you're out of your mind" she says as she continues to walk to his car "So either you take me where i need to go, or tie me down, which is technically kidnapping of a minor. And if i live to see another day, i swear to god, i will prosecute. Open the door"
