    Summary

    The ground beneath them shakes, and suddenly everyone is yelling, the chair, the table under Steve’s feet wobbling. It tips, and Steve doesn’t think, just gets his hands under Eddie and pushes, watching the two of them tumble away at the same time he hits the hard floor, covered in blood. It knocks the wind out of him, and for a horrible moment he can’t move, can’t breathe, can only stare up through the gate as Robin and Eddie touch down on the other side, Nancy rushing to help them, and Dustin is staring up in wide-eyed panic at Steve, his mouth opening and—

    The gate closes, an open wound sealing shut, all before Steve can take his next breath.
