you and him are both sitting in the back of the van, tracking a signal. this was the 30th crawl on trying to find Vecna. none have gotten any close. He has his arm wrapped around you, while you’re listening for Hopper’s signal.

as your run your hand down your face, irritated, he notices, and pulls you a bit closer. “ Babe, what’s wrong? “ he asked, pressing a kiss to the top your head.

“ I can’t get anything. “ you respond. “ I wonder if Hopper is okay.. what if- what if he was lost? What if something happened? “ you ask. he shook his head. “ Trust me, he’s fine. He knows what he’s doing. “ he reassured you.

just then, you finally hear beeping of a signal, and hit the sharpest tone. “ Hopper, Hopper, come in! “ you say into the walkie. “ I’m in! “ he responds. you look to Steve, as he looked somewhat annoyed by you two being absolutely in love; before nodding. Mike holds you tighter as he tries to keep you steady once Steve floors it.

you hand the walkie to Mike, who then begins communicating with everyone and listening for signals.
