Synthia stepped out of Johnathan's car when they got to the byers and helped take boxes in.
As she helped them set up a wave of nervousness came over her. She was really about to fight the demogorgon. They stood in the living room going over the plan.
"Remember straight into Will's room."
"And don't step on the trap."
"Wait for the yo-yo to move."
"Then... run out."
"And if you can't?"
"Stay behind Synthia while she tries to kill it."
"You guys ready?"
" Ready."
The three held knives to their hands.
"On three."
" One.."
. "two..."
" You don't have to do this..."
" Jonathan, stop talking."
" I'm just saying, you don't have to..."
" Three."
They cut their hands and as they were bandaging them they heard a noise
"Did you hear that?"
" It's just the wind. Don't worry. My mom, she said the lights speak when it comes."
"Speak?"
" Blink. Think of them as alarms."
" Is that too tight?"
" No, it's fine. Thanks. Nancy?"
" Yeah?"
They heard banging on the door.
"Stay here." Synthia said, going up to the door. Her powers were already glowing from her palms.
"Jonathan? Are you there, man? It's... it's Steve! Listen, I just want to talk!" She heard Steve say through the door.
"Ok It's not a demogorgon, just my idiot brother." Synthia said to the pair.
Synthia opened the door and said "Steve, listen to me."
" Hey. Synthia, what..."
" You need to leave."
" What? No, I'm not trying to start anything, okay?"
" I don't care about that. You need to leave."
"No, no, no. Listen, I messed up, okay? I messed... I messed up. Okay? Really. Please. I just want to make things right. I know I've been a horrible brother. I'm sorry. Okay?"
" look. I appreciate it but you need to go."
"Hey, what happened to your hand? Is that blood? Are you..."
"Nothing. It was an accident."
"Yeah, what's going on?"
" Nothing."
"Wait a sec. Did he do this to you?" Steve said, trying to go in.
"No."
"Synthia, let me in!" Steve said, walking in
" No. No! No, Steve!"
"What is... What the..." Steve said as he looked down at the weapons
"You need to get out of here."
"Whoa. What is all... "
"Listen to me. I'm not asking you, I'm telling you, get out of here!"
" What is that smell? Is that... is that gasoline?"
