[ Oh it's Rapid-fire nervous Robin, even after all this time without her, Steve remembers it like yesterday, it's comforting in a way, despite the troubling causes. But that's ok, he's got her right now, she might be smarter, but he's got the bravery. Well, she does too. Ok they're tied. But he'll take the lead on it this time. ]
It's just really complicated, we're somewhere. Where dying doesn't even matter. I die over and over. But here I am. Safe and sound, and reunited with you.
[ That sounds crazy. Does he sound crazy? Is this too much for Robin? She's already short circuiting, should he maybe have braced her for this, because he's already on edge and like on the verge of breaking down, her hold on him being the only barrier to stop it.
But then she's tearing up, rubbing her chipped polished nail into his shirt, picking at some dried blood. He takes a second admiring it, been so long since he's had someone care about his appearance, it's just sweat and mud and blood here for everyone else, but Robin is so freshly arrived. He's not even sure if she's rubbing off any from his shirt, its caked on so thickly. Maybe nothing's coming off. Maybe she just needs to do that, and that's fine. Because it feels nice, the hug too, and it slows his heart a little, calms him, so he can recollect himself, be the strong one again in a moment. ]
No crying here. [ That's a lie, if there's one person on the planet, or the entire dimension that could get Steve to cry, it's Robin. His best friend, the shield to his sword. And that's why a tear spills over that he quickly wipes away and smiles to distract from it.
And then she tells him how she got here, and he's taking it in but he's also doing a lot of processing himself.]
Good call on Dustin. That twerp so does not belong here... Robin wait, that sounds like exactly how Nance and I ended up here. Ok, me and Nance, we were exploring the lab, back at Hawkins, and we just. We must've activated the portal by accident, or maybe the Russians did this, but then there was all this fog and a whooshing noise and that feeling you get on one of those spinny rides at the Hawkins state fair that I hate so much and it brought us here to this place. I don't know if it's the upside down or not, but it feels...off. Different. There's others too. Came here from other places, other...times? We'll figure this shit out together, get back home. You and me Robs, together we're unstoppable, right? I mean we took down an entire Russian base, otherworldly dimensions got nothing on us.
[ And then he rearranges them, taking the strong stance again, his hope for salvation slowly renewing. Motivation to fix this growing exponentially, since it means he'll save the one person he loves the most. ]
