(A/N: So, before you read this chapter, I just wanted to let you know a few things when it comes to this book and any future books coming up. I have thought about the final season of this book already so that will be all original by the time season 4 is finished. Not only that I do want to make other books that are about other shows and media which I do have coming up and some original ones as well. I do have two other stranger things books that will follow the original storyline so before I work on those, I will work on other books and when season 4 of this book is finished, I will put it on a hiatus to focus on those other books before I finish this one. But just know that this book will have an ending to it and it you won't have to wait for the actual final season of Stranger Things for me to finish it. With that said and done I do hope you read some of the future books when waiting for this book to be finished. With that said I thank you for your time and patience for reading this and I hope you enjoy this chapter.)

We see the group back at HQ aka Mikes basement, Mike and Dustin make up a plan while Eleven is cleaning the dirt off Zero's face.

Zero: You do know that I can clean my face by myself, right?

El: Yeah, I just wanna do it so let me do it.

Zero: *sighs* Okay, I won't argue.

El: *finished* That's better.

There was a pregnant pause as the two stare at each other.

El: Zero?

Zero: Yeah?

El: I'm happy you're home.

Zero: I guess I am too, this place really grew on me.

Zero smiles as Eleven blushes at it as she starts to get closer to Zero again. She had read about these situations before in books, although she never thought she'd get the chance again this early, but she was going for it and would succeed this time. She started to lean in slowly as Zero read the situation and started to lean back slowly because he wanted to tell her and everyone the truth first before to see what would happen. He was praying that something would happen to cut it short.

Zero: (thinking) Please God don't let this happen so soon.

*In Heaven*

God: Sure. *Snaps fingers*

*Back in the Basement*

Dustin: Guys!

El: Jesus Dustin.

El was internally swearing at her friend in her head for ruining the moment and she wanted to throw something at him but decided against it. More important things were at hand so it must have been urgent. Zero on the other hand took a breath of relief as he thanked Dustin internally and got ready to hear what he had to say.

Dustin: It's Lucas, I think he's in trouble. 

They walk around the DND table.

Dustin: Do you remember how he said he was looking for the gate?

El: *Slightly angry* Yeah.

El was still mad at him for how he not only didn't want to help find Zero but he also implied that if El was the one who launched him, he would call her a monster too.

Mike: What if he found it?

El holds up the radio listening but only hearing Lucas Showing indistinctly on the radio. It's scrambled. He's out of range.

El: What's he saying?

Mike: I don't know, he's way out of range. 

Lucas: ...son of a bitch!
