The second you came up through the Gate, vicious agonized screams pierced your ears. The torturous cold air tears right through your clothes as you stagger to your feet. The nasty goop from the Gate clings to your body. You push back against the urge to scratch the stuff off of your skin as you run towards the screaming. Lightning crackles in the sky. Thunder rumbles. Red, black, orange. Spore-like flakes flit like gentle snowfall through the air, you choke on them as you trip over your feet to get to him.

To Steve.

There's only one person who could scream like that.

"STEVE!"

Oh my gosh.

Lying on his back, three hideous, batlike creatures attack Steve. One has its prehensile tail coiled around his throat. The other two bite his sides relentlessly as he struggles with the noose. You fall to your knees and pick up the closest thing to a stick there is in this God-forsaken reality and charge, shrieking at the top of your lungs. The bats immediately lose interest in Steve and swoop at you. One rips at your hair, the other tries to snatch at your wrist, but you clock it across its face and then jam the whetted end through the dead center of the third's skull. The force of the attack drives the bat into the earth, your weapon like a stake. It stops moving. But the others circle around, ready for a second wave. You whip around to face them, weaponless, and suddenly terrified. Behind you, Steve is moaning, retching. Tears prick in your eyes as you watch the bats close in. What can you do? There's nowhere to run, nowhere to run. The sky is blazing. Blood-red and toxic. Your skin feels hot and cold all at once –

You let out a scream as you trip backwards.

Something bolsters your legs.

"(Y/N) –"

Steve.

You fell over your own boyfriend.

The two of you struggle to sit up. The bats are coming, falling fast in a dive like peregrine falcons-

Out of nowhere, an oar smacks one out of the air.

Nancy!

You shudder a laugh right before something snaps around your throat and you're yanked back. The ground collides with the back of your head and stars dance in your vision, searing yellow. The flesh wrapping your neck burns and your face feels hot. Its as if someone took a pin to your lungs. Pop. They deflate in your chest as you writhe, clawing at your throat, but the rope only tightens and you gag. Saliva clogs your mouth, fear jams the wheels in your head and all you can see is a blinding light swelling in the sky. Pain, pain, pain. No air. Gasp. You can't...gasp, breathe-

Gasp.

"AGHHHHHHH!"

You gasp. A lovely, deep gasp of relief. Air floods your lungs. As your senses slowly come back to you, you recognize the warlike cry as Steve's. Hacking and massaging your tender neck, you sit up and see your boyfriend beating the absolute shit out of one of the demon bats. He has it by the tail. The tail that strangled both of you, and he's throwing it against the ground. Back and forth. One each shoulder. Its skull cracks sickeningly. Nancy, Robin, and Eddie watch dumbfounded as Steve hurls it down one last time, places his foot on its torso and then pulls its tail so hard it rips completely in half. The severed lower portion he tosses aside. A wad of blood hangs from his mouth and he spits it onto the other half of the bat under his foot. It twitches, squealing for 5...4...3...2...
