So far, you’d been spending your summer outside the Scoops Ahoy kiosk in the Starcourt Mall. Because, you and Steve were friends, right? That’s what happened when you fought supernatural forces together, you became friends, like most would.

Which was a reason to spend every day there, hanging around the front counter, occupying your hours with chitchat while Robin threatened to kick you out for loitering. It was a good pastime.

But you know what wasn’t? Finding a Russian base and being subsequently kidnapped and tortured.

Quite frankly, you were freaking out. The three of you were strapped into these metal chairs, arms and legs bound. There was no telling where Dustin and Erica were, a fact that ate away at your mind. That, and Steve was already sporting a pretty nasty bruise.

The mechanical doors slid open again, a burly man, no doubt Russian, entering.
