                "So.. do you really think you're an illusionist or.. or whatever?" El asks of Will, confused as he explains the whole lore of Dungeons and Dragons but she just doesn't understand.

"That's the only way it makes sense! You're a Mage.. I'm the Cleric.. my character is a wizard and.. it's too complicated to explain to you but trust me on it!"

"Okay, so.. how do you.. can you do more spells?"

"I mean.. I guess I would have to be able to..?"

"Like what?"

"I'm not sure.." He swallows and stands up from his position beside her on the couch. "I.. I don't know all the spells I.. I have to ask Mike."

"What? You can't do that!"

"Eleven.. please trust me. Mike's the Paladin, and he's been playing longer than me. He knows a lot more than I do, he basically knows all of the spells! He's super smart.. please trust me. Please."

Will pleads with El, and she gives in because she truly does trust him. "Okay," She says quietly. "..But please be careful."

"I will," He re - assures her, smiling at her as he rushes out the door back onto his bike and straight back to Mike's house.

He's a bit embarrassed at the way that he had left Mike alone, and he's a bit nervous to meet with Mike again, however, he knows that Mike certainly won't be upset with him and will definitely forget all about it if he shows him his powers for a moment..

He feels his stomach churn dreadfully as he arrives at Mike's house, and he's terrified to step foot inside.

He doesn't know quite how he's going to do it yet..

He leaves his bike next to the front porch, and he goes in with a false smile as he greets Mrs. and Mr. Wheeler as they're currently at the kitchen table sorting their mail out.

Or.. more so Mr. Wheeler was sorting the mail out.. Karen was currently occupied with something in the oven that smelled awfully delicious.

"Hi Will!" Mrs. Wheeler says cheerfully, about to offer him some brownies as she pulled them out of the oven.

"Hi Mrs. Wheeler.." He says quietly with a smile, looking over at Holly who was currently sat next to Ted.

He wants to refuse, but he bites at his lip as he suddenly realises that he's had the urge to eat all day, and he was terribly hungry after a day of pedalling all around town and using his powers until he was exhausted..

She holds them out towards him, and smiles as he nods in silent agreement.

She sets them down on the stove - top, letting them cool for a few minutes and he stands next to the door - way.

She slices a few pieces out, and sets them on a plate.

"Can you bring these up to Mike too while you're down there, sweetie? He's in the basement." She asks softly, and he nods as he was going to see Mike anyways.

She places his brownies on the same plate as Mike's and sends him off to the basement with only them in his hands, spare for a big glass of milk that she made a point of him carrying so he didn't have to come back for another one and that they had shared a glass of milk  in the past as they used to when they were little kids anyhow.

He blushes as she opens the basement door for him and closes it behind him, before walking back off to the kitchen.

Will feels his nerves re - appear as he trembles a bit on his walk down the basement stairs.
