Everyone was now in Billy's car, with Max driving and Skyler in front holding the map. Everything was going so fast, Skyler's heartbeat, her thoughts, Max's driving. Not only that, but it was getting very difficult to stay awake, Skyler thought she probably had a concussion, along with a broken something? The only reason why she hadn't passed out yet was because she was scared, not only of the effects of her concussion but the thought of something bad happening to her friends. She knew that in her 'past life' nothing did happen, but she was an overthinker if that wasn't prominent enough already. Not to mention the adrenaline. It was mostly the adrenaline keeping her up. 

The gang was almost there when Steve, suddenly spoke up. "Nancy?"

"No don't touch it." The confused Steve looked over to Dustin. "Hey buddy. Shhh- it's okay, you put up a good fight. He kicked your ass, but you put up a good fight."

"Not to mention, his little sister had to save him." Mike said, rolling his eyes. 

At this, Dustin elbowed Mike, with a glare. "Don't mind him. You're okay."

"Okay so- you're gonna keep straight for half a mile, then take a left turn on Mount Sinai." Sky spoke up.

"What's going on?" Steve groggily said, then his eyes opened wide when he realized who was driving. "Oh-ho my god!" 

"Just relax, she's driven before."

"Yeah, at a parking lot!" Mike added in, clearly not helping the situation. 

"That counts." Lucas argued.

"More than you have driven, Mike." Skyler huffed out. 

"Oh my god." Steve said.

"Steve be cool, Dustin and I promised you'd be okay with this." Steve's sister spoke. 

"Yeah- man they were gonna leave you." Dustin agreed.

Max pressed on the gas pedal harder, making the car go faster. 

"Oh my god! Wha-wha-what's going on!" 

The engine roared.

"Oh, my God! No! Whoa! Stop the car, slow down!" 

"I told you guys he'd freak out!" Mike shouted. 

"Stop the car!" 

"Everybody shut up!" Max quickly said. "I'm trying to focus!" 

"Oh wait- that's Mount Sinai- make a left!" Skyler pointed. 

"What?"

"Make a left!"

Max sharply turned the car, driving over a mailbox, and causing everyone to swerve to the side, both the Harrington siblings hissing with pain due to their injuries. Not only that but Lucas and Steve were screaming like little girls, which Skyler found extremely funny. Max then suddenly came to a hard stop.

"Whoa!" Steve said, holding on to anything he could to keep his balance.

"Incredible." Mike suddenly said. 

"I told you, zoomer." Max smirked.

Skyler smiled at this and nodded her head. "Your a hell of a zoomer, alright." 

Then one by one the group got out of the car, Skyler hobbling towards the back of the car. With Steve just barely having enough strength to stand up and use the car door as a support.

"Guys.." Steve spoke out, as he saw the kids putting on gear to protect themselves. "Oh, no guys." Dustin walked past him, carrying a jug of gasoline. "Hey- what are you deaf? Hello! We are not going down there, I thought I made myself clear. Hey! There's no chance we're going into that hole, all right?"" He then looked over to his sister, who was trying really hard to stay standing up. "Especially you! You can't even walk!"
