Forever [Max Mayfield X Reader]

March, 23, 1986.

We arrive at where Eddie is hiding.

Dustin kicks open the shed door.

"Jesus!" Eddie yells.

We came in and saw Eddie pointing a broken bottle of beer at us.

Dustin and Robin shows the plastic bags that's full of foods.

"Delivery service." Dustin smiles.

Eddie exhales in relief.

------------

Eddie opens a cereal, and took a handfull of it and eats it.

"So we got, uh, some good news and some bad new." I told Eddie.

"How do you prefer it?" Dustin asks Eddie.

"Bad news first, always." Eddie replied as he took a sip of beer that we bought him.

"All right. Bad news." I said.

"We tapped into the Hawkins PD dispatch with our Cerebro, and they're definitely looking for you." Dustin told Eddie.

"Also, they're, uh, pretty convinced that you killed Chrissy." Dustin told Eddie.

"Like, a 100% kind of convinced." Max said.

"And the good news?" Eddie asks.

"Your name hasn't gone public yet." I told Eddie.

"But if we found out about you, it's a matter of time before others do." Robin told Eddie.

"And once that gets out, everyone and their shallow-minded mother is gonna be gunning for you." Robin told Eddie.

"Hunt the freak, right?" Eddie asks.

"Exactly." Robin replied.

"Shit." Eddie said.

"So, before that happens, we need to find Vecna, kill him, and prove your innocence." Dustin told Eddie.

"That's all, Dustin? That's all?" Eddie said.

"Yeah, no, that's pretty much it." Dustin replied.

"Listen, Eddie, I know everything Dustin is saying sounds totally delusional, but we've actually been through this kind of thing before." Robon told Eddie.

"I mean, they have a... a few times," Robin told Eddie.

Eddie looks at Steve for comfirmation.

Steve nods at Eddie.

Eddie looks back at Robin.

"and... and I have once. Mine was more human-flesh-base,
theirs was more smoke-related, but bottom line is, collectively, I really feel like we got this." Robin told Eddie.

"Yeah, see, we usually rely on this girl whp has super powers. But, uh, those went bye-bye, so..." Steve told Eddie.

"So we're technically in more of the--" Robin said as she starts stuttering.

"Kinda..." Steve said.

"Brainstorming phase." Max said.

"Brainstorming." Steve said as he points at Max and snaps his fingers.

"There... There's nothing to be worried about." Dustin splutters.

Steve scoffs, and smiles at Eddie.

A moment later we hear sirens wailing.

We look at Eddie.

"Shit." Steve whispers.

"Tarp." I told Eddie.
