Summary
”The story of the Evil Emperor Geta and the Great Gladiator Stephanos.” That sentence leaves a bitter taste in Eddie's mouth, that he ignores to continue reading: “... One of the strongest tales of betrayal disguised as love. Or love disguised as betrayal, could be? Whaddya think, king?”
Or: Steve and Eddie do not recall, but they've met way before the 80s and Vecna, way back in ancient Rome, in a past life.

Summary
When he answers the phone, instead of Two-Bit slurring his words, he hears an unfamiliar voice.
“Is this Darrel Curtis?” The voice asks.
“Yes,” Darrel says cautiously, “Who is this?”
“My name is Jim Hopper. I'm a police chief in a town called Hawkins.”
“What do ya want, Officer?”
“Well, I know someone that you may want to see. A Ponyboy Curtis.”

Summary
Strong arms wrap around him pulling him back. Further and further and devastatingly far from the ledge. Far from the end of his misery. He fights and hits but the arms don't let up. The arms finally let go and he whips around to see who kept him from freedom.
Hopper towers over him and he has fear in his eyes. More fear than Steve saw in them when they were facing literal monsters from hell.

Summary
“Can you take us to a late showing of —"
Steve bites his lip, sighing and preparing for inevitable backlash, “I can't, I'm babysitting."
“What!?” Dustin screeches, “How!? You’re not with any Party members?”
“Yeah I’m babysitting other kids.” Steve sighs, looking back at Beth and Annie bickering over one of their teddy bear guests.
“Other kids?! Kids that aren’t us? You’re cheating on us?”
Steve rubs at his temples, “It’s not like I have a secret family Henderson! Calm down.”
“You may as well have!” Dustin retorts something like hurt colouring his tone.
OR How Steve finds a purpose and a family one smartass kid at a time.
