Summary
“She’s alive,” he mumbled to himself, barely noticing El cleaning the remaining blood from his face and sticking a bandage over the cut.
“Yes,” El agreed absently. “Lucas, I need your help.”
This is what finally caught Lucas’s attention, enough to fully draw him back to the present. El had never asked for his help before; he’d never imagined that she would ever need it. She quite literally had telekinetic superpowers, not to mention Mike’s unwavering support even after their breakup and Will’s steadfast presence as her adopted brother. What could Lucas possibly do?
“My…help?” he managed.
“I have an idea,” El said, stronger now, more firm. Something flickered in her eyes. Doubt, maybe, or perhaps fear. She continued anyway: “I think I know how to get her back, but I need you to help me.”
--
In the six months since Max fell victim to Vecna, Lucas notices changes in his friends' relationship, El piggybacks into Lucas's head and brings him into the mindscape with her to find Max, and they find her in the midst of her memories, safe from Vecna but unable to escape on her own.
