Let Me Touch Your Fire (Steve Harrington x Henderson!Reader)

Chapter Seven: Failed Escape

"The gate"

You heard Dustin and Steve say in unison, they turned around and you did the same telling Robin and Erica to follow you back downstairs.

"I don't understand. You have seen this before?" Robin asked, the whole team was making their way rapidly downstairs, now that you had a key card you thought it would be easier to sneak out.

"Not exactly" Steve answered "Then what, exactly?" 

"All you need to is it's bad" Dustin said "Really bad"

Like, end-of-the-human-race-as-we-know-it kind of bad" You looked at Dustin with a confused look, what the hell?

"And you know this how?" the five of you were already at the bottom of the stairs as Robin said it. She was desperate for answers and even though you kinda knew the El story, you were desperate for answers too.

"Um, Steve? Where's your Russian friend?" Erica said and you looked at the ground where the Russian guy was supposed to lay unconscious but he was nowhere to be seen. Seconds later alarms starting blaring.

"Shit" Steve said and ran towards the door, he opened and checked outside, you looked over is shoulder and found the guy he punched crouched talking to other guards. They looked towards your direction quickly spotting you and shouting something in Russian. Steve quickly closed the door and whispered, "Shit"

"Go, go, go, go, go!" he said running towards a door, Dustin leading the group. 

"Shit" Dustin said and opened the door continuing to run. You closed the door rapidly not looking behind you, almost crashing into Robin as they stopped abruptly. You looked around you, you were in some kind of control room full of Russian scientists and glowing consoles, their office chairs squeaked as the turned to look at you.

"Shit!" you said. "Go, go, go, go!" you kept running soon reaching some stairs as the Russian soldiers busted inside the room. Your mind was racing, your lungs burned.

Dustin shrieked as he pushed someone making way for all of you, you didn't even looked at he guy, frozen in his spot. 

"Holy shit! Holy shit! Holy shit! Holy shit!" Dustin kept saying, you finally realized your surroundings. The machine was right in front of you, blue lighting almost hypnotizing moving around the machine, you froze, staring at it wide eyed and open mouthed too. "Holy shit! Holy shit!" Dustin screamed at the top of his lungs and looked behind, the soldiers almost catching up with you.

"This way!" Steve said and ran away, you pulled Dustin with you as you ran behind him "Oh shit, oh shit" Steve pushed some barrels towards other guards that appeared at your right "Come on! Keep going!"

You could feel fear and adrenaline rushing through your body. Robin ran past you "This way!" you followed her inside a room.

"Hold the door!"Steve said, you heard the guards crash into it and you panicked.

"Y/N" you heard Steve call your name and you ran to help him with the door.

"Shit!" Dustin said, frantically looking around to find something to escape. 

The guards were pushing the door, yelling. 

"Robin!" you screamed, "Help us!" she quickly ran, crashing against the door and helping you keeping it closed. You grunted, your arms ached as you kept pushing the door.

"Here! Come on, let's go!" you heard Erica say.

"Come on!" it was Dustin, you looked at him, your heart breaking, you had to stay so they could escape, tears were running down you face as you met Dustin's terrified stare, he knew what you were thinking "Come on Y/N!" he tried again

"No! Go on" Steve said and grabbed your arm, harshly pushing you away and towards Dustin, you ignored the pain in your arm and looked at him.

"I'll stay with you!" you screamed "No! You have to go Y/N" you ignored him and ran towards him again, he looked at you and with his free arm pushed you away again, "Dustin! Take her away!"

Dustin ran towards your side and pulled you up "Come on Y/N" you hesitantly walked with him, your eyes never leaving Steve's.

"Just go get some help, okay?" Dustin pushed you gently and you jumped inside the vents. 

"WHAT ARE YOU DOING?" Steve yelled again, Dustin kept looking at them utterly terrified.

"GO!" Steve and Robin yelled "I won't forget you!" Dustin said.

"GO!" they screamed again and he closed the gate. You kept silent and unmoving listening to what was happening upwards.

The door flew open and Robin yelped as she fell to the ground. The soldiers barged inside pointing their guns at Steve and Robin.

You were trembling as you heard the guards saying stuff in Russian, the sound of guns barreling filled your eyes and you breath hitched. Slow steps echoed around the room and some orders were screamed in Russian. Some grunting and yelps were heard, you could hear Robin screaming something but you could not make out what it was.

You heard the door closing and then complete silence. You waited a few seconds and walked towards the gate "What the hell are you doing?" you ignored Erica as you opened the gate, looking around room with a fearsome stare.

It was empty, Robin and Steve were gone.
