Summary
"I can keep it open," says Eleven, her face set and serious. She's got a hat pulled on over her short-shaved hair. Steve feels a pang of loss on her behalf, thinks about how he'd feel if someone held him down and shaved his head, made him into something they wanted him to be, instead of who he'd fought to make himself.
"I'll be as quick as I can," he says. He's deliberately dressed for utility - the jacket that he picked up at War Zone over a black t-shirt and combat pants and boots. In his backpack, he's got bottled water and protein bars, candy, a baggie of Honeycombs. He's got clean underwear and a t-shirt and socks. A flashlight. Bandaids. Antiseptic. He's got his bat resting on his shoulder.
"I'd feel a lot better if you'd take a handgun, kid," says Hopper, his arms folded across his chest.
"Not if I shoot myself in the foot, Sir," he says.***
In which Steve Harrington goes into hell for the boy he loves. I'd suggest reading parts 1 + 2 first!
