Summary
Dustin tapped his hands on the bonnet for a moment before trailing behind him as he continued down the line of used cars. "Why don't you just get another Beamer? I think I saw one similar near the entrance. It was blue, I think."
"I don't want a replica, or something that's a constant reminder. She was one of a kind."
"I mean, not really."
"To me, she was."

Summary
They’re almost there when the screeching, piercing sound returns.
Steve doubles over and screams. He doesn’t know whether the others can hear it, can feel it, but he senses that there’s an anger in the sensation. The creature is upset that its prey is getting away. So they have to get away, right now, or else Steve’s brain might explode from the pressure, the pounding pressure that’s intensifying and beating like a drum, and there’s rhythm to it that sounds like a death toll, or the chiming of a clock, or a gunshot-
There’s blood on his hands.

Summary
Lucas began to walk over, a confused expression on his face. “Dust-”
“This is a tape of security footage from the day the Scoops Troop broke into the base.”
“The- what? What base?”
Dustin sighed in exasperation and turned to Lucas. “The Russian base?” He did jazz hands. “The one with the giant portal to another dimension?”
Lucas rolled his eyes, “Okay, chill man, I get it.” he screwed up his face. “'Scoops Troop' though? Really?”
Dustin returned to setting up the tape. “Yeah, it makes sense. Scoops Ahoy, Steve and Robin? I spent so much time in the back room I’m basically an honorary employee-”
“-The mall burnt down-”
“...and Erica…” He shrugged. “Blackmailed ice cream. Pretty sure she only paid for like, half of what she ate there.”
Lucas squatted down next to Dustin while he finished setting up the cassette. “Okay, still a dumb name though.”

Summary
“What do you mean what happened?”
“I just…” Jonathan’s eyes flicked up past Steve at the sound of the backdoor creaking open. “Mom.”
Steve turned to see Mrs. Byers’ in the doorway with a glass of water and a bottle of something. Probably the painkillers she’d promised. She gave him a matching look of concern and confusion, although she was quicker to conceal it.
He started to feel hot and embarrassed with the reaction he was getting. It hadn’t been meant to slow anything down, let alone draw everyone’s eyes to his bare chest. He leaned down to grab his soaking wet shirt off the back steps, although it was really just an excuse to look down and away from everyone’s gazes.
Mrs. Byers’ put out a hand as if to tap him on the shoulder and then drew it back like she was worried about hurting him.
“Steve, honey, you can borrow one of Jonathan’s shirts."

Summary
Starcourt Mall was on fire, and Steve was learning all sorts of new things. Like, Robin was the spitting image of her mom, and defeating Russians often came with a concussion. Like, concussions felt a lot like your brain trying to escape from your skull, and Robin was hard to keep secrets from. Like, his parents traveling for the Fourth of July hadn't bothered him before today, and the idea of Robin coming home with him brought... relief? Yeah. Relief.
Starcourt Mall was on fire, and Steve wasn't exactly sure when things had turned from his to theirs,
but he was pretty sure he didn't mind it.Bookmarked by venter1
