El had been thrown back by the Thessalhydra, flew back 20 feet and crashed into a tree. She crumpled against the tree.

Mike watched as the girl he became quickly attached to crash against a tree and dropped the hammer he held. He ran to her crumpled form and cradled her head in his hands.

"Is she ok?" Mike asks, looking up at his girlfriend's father's face.

"Yeah, I'd say so," Hopper said, rubbing the back of his daughter's head, feeling a small lump on the back of her head but there was no blood when he pulled his hand away.

"Thank god, I wouldn't be able to survive it if she left me again," Mike said, running his fingers through the soft, bouncy curls that he's become extremely familiar with.
