The sky is split open with red lightning. Demogorgons stalk underneath the grounds of the suburbs, the air thick with cold, dusty particles.

You guys tried to warn them, the officers, of what was coming, but they didn’t listen, insisting you all were trespassing and were putting the kids in danger.

But then Will looked at you, his hand went to the back of his neck, but then he started to get taken over by the hive mind, and suddenly all of you were fighting for your lives. You were new to the group; it took a while for them to trust you. Being the kid of a military parent who had a fling with a Hawkins Lab escapee, you were the group's combat tactician and were slightly paranormal from all the experimentations done around you.

Lt. Colonel Sullivan, your dad, by the way, and his team used an impressive amount of force against the demogorgons; it wasn’t much, but it kept you and the gang alive until Vecna walked through the portal.

And disarms, hell, dismembers the men, but something within Will snapped when you were the one in danger. He channeled the interdimensional energies from Vecna to vanquish them, right before fainting. Joyce took one of the military vehicles and drove off, tasking you with watching over Will, while Mike checked the others' location on the walkie-talkies.

“Don’t leave me,” he whispers, almost drowned out by the roar of the Upside Down.

He looks up at you, his head resting on your lap, eyes shining with adrenaline and something softer.
