- Your POV

The room kept falling. At this point, it seemed endless. I was holding onto Dustin to keep myself stable. Everybody screaming wasn't helping my stress. Erica and Dustin were frantically pressing buttons, expectedly it didn't help. Then the room finally stopped falling, but the collision hurt a lot. "My groin, it fell on my groin!" Steve shrieked as a heavy box fell on him. Dustin removed his hold on me and I did the same, as he went to help Steve.

Everyone remained dizzy and nauseous. "Is everyone okay?" Robin asked. "Yeah, I'm great, now that I know Russians can't design elevators!" Steve shouted in frustration. Steve attempts to open a door but unfortunately, Robin says that we will need a keycard to open everything. "Just so you nerds are aware, I'm supposed to be spending the night at Tina's and Tina always covers for me, but if I'm not home for Uncle Jack's party tomorrow, and my mom finds out YOU four are responsible, she's gonna hunt you down, one by one, and slit your throat." Erica screams at us.

"I don't care about Tina! Or Uncle Jack's party! Your mom's not going to be able to find us if we're dead in a Russian elevator!" Steve yells back at her. I tried to contain my laugh since this situation was pretty scary. Dustin tapped my hand, "Hey, what if we climbed out?" he said pointing to the air duct.

Dustin, Steve, and I climbed up to the roof of the elevator but it went very high up, so we obviously couldn't climb up. I sighed and went back down immediately.

- 3rd person POV

Up on the roof of the elevator, Dustin kept trying to signal the rest of the party, or anyone at this point, on his walkie-talkie. Steve told him to stop that since it would drain the battery. "Why are you such a cranky pants? After getting to spend the night with Robin..." Dustin mocked. Steve shushed him aggressively. "Jesus Christ... will you give up on that creepy dream already," Steve spoke. "I heard you guys talking all night," Dustin replied

"Yeah, except we were trying to figure out a way to get out. While you children were sleeping... and I'm not even going to say anything about you and Y/n cuddling to sleep but oh well.." Steve whispered. Dustin shuffled around awkwardly, thinking about an excuse. "Anyways, after eight hours were still exactly nowhere... which is you know, probably just a little bit of the reason why I'm just feeling a tad cranky," Steve rambled on.

"What are you doing?!" Dustin jumped. "What does it look like I'm doing? I'm taking a leak, look away... look away!" Steve shouted. Dustin turned around. Unfortunately, the "leak" was heading down the elevator. Robin shouted at Steve to relocate somewhere else. But Steve just moved slightly over. Gross.

Y/n laughed at them while finishing a granola bar she got from her pocket. Meanwhile, Erica began to hit one of the weird green containers to open it. Both Robin and Y/n rushed over to her and stopped her. Robin snatched it from her hand, "hey! We don't even know what that is..." Robin said. "Exactly, it could be useful..." Erica argued back.

"How is this useful?" Y/n asked. "We can survive down here a long time without food, but if the human body doesn't get water, it will die!" Erica explained. "I hate to break it to you but this isn't water," Robin sighed. "No, but it's a liquid, and if it comes down to me drinking that shit or dying of thirst... I drink," Erica smiled sarcastically.

Y/n stares at her in disbelief, but Robin gets caught off guard by a noise she hears. She lets Erica take the bottle back and puts her ear to a wall. Robin goes to the roof to tell Steve and Dustin that there are people outside the elevator. Erica and Y/n quickly rushed up to the roof with everyone else, Y/n helped Erica up first then she entered herself.

Everyone stayed quiet while the Russian workers began going into the room to retrieve inventory. When they finally left, Steve took the green bottle from Erica and rushed to the door to stop it from closing, using the bottle. Everyone else got off the roof to crawl out of the elevator. The bottle began to crack but luckily Steve got out in time.
