"The mindflayer, it build this monster in Hawkins. To stop El, kill her... pay for whatever to get into our world" Mike spoke to the group around him

"And he almost did, that was just one tiny piece of it" Max added

"How big is this thing?" Hopper questioned

"Very big, twenty feet at least" Jonathan nodded

"Yeah it sorta destroyed your cabin, sorry" Lucas said to him

"Okay so just to be clear, this big spider thing that hurt El, it's like some sort of gigantic weapon?" Steve asked

"Exactly that, I mean you should have seen it, he had like eight different mouths" Clove said while glancing up at the boy

"But instead of screws and metal the mind flayed made its weapon with melted people, that also was apart of you but Jonathan over here decided to cut you open, get it out of you, which made you lose too much blood and die?" Steve asked while looking at Clove

"Yes exactly" Max nodded

"I'm sorry, you killed my niece?" Murray asked while looking toward Jonathan

"Only to save her" Jonathan defended himself

"And how'd you get her back up and alive again?" Stella asked looked toward her daughter

"My words brought her back" Mike said

"No i'm pretty sure it was my cpr" Nancy said

"No it was-" Mike began to argue

"Guys! Both of you brought me back, Jonathan was just trying to help so I wouldn't kill anyone and then myself, i'm fine now... i'm a fighter remember?" Clove asked

"We know" Will offered her a smile

"Sorry we weren't there" Levan apologized

"I'm glad you weren't, couldn't see anyone else hurt" Clove shook her head

"Are we sure this thing is still out there? Still alive?" Joyce asked from where she sat

"El beat the shit out of it, but yeah it's still alive" Max sighed

"But if we close the gate again.." Will trailed off

"We cut the brain off from the body" Max confirmed

"And kill it!" Lucas yelled

"Boom!" Clove yelled along with him while clapping her hands together

"Theoretically" Lucas said as he swung his arm around the girl

"Yeah what he said" Clove nodded

"Okay this is what Alexi called the hub, now the hub takes us to the voult" Murray told them while slapping the paper in the table

"Okay so where's the gate?" Hopper asked him annoyed

"Right here, I don't know the skill on this but I think it's fairly close to the voult room... maybe fifty feet or so" Murray said as Stella opened her mouth to speak before Erica cut her off

"More like five hundred, you just gonna waltz in there like it's common Disney land or something?" Erica asked her as Clove stiffed a laugh

"I'm sorry who are you?" Murray asked her with wide eyes

"Erica Sinclair, who are you?" she asked him in a sassy tone of voice

"Murray Reyes" he said with a confused face
