missy sighed as she opened the basement door, briefly reliving her overdose. her mood quickly changed as she saw the boys and el sitting around on the couches. " hey guys. " missy smiled as she moved el's legs and sat down.

" hey missy. " dustin did a slight wave.

" what was will saying? " mike spoke up from beside missy. " like home... like home... but dark. "

" and empty. " lucas continued, missy tilted her head at the younger boys.

" empty and cold. wait, did he say cold? " dustin added.

" does anybody want to, uh, fill me in? " missy looked around confused.

" i don't know. the stupid radio kept going in and out. " lucas ignored missy, getting frustrated.

" okay, great to know no one listens to me still. " missy threw her arms back and slouched back into the couch.

" sorry missy, we need to think. it's like riddles in the dark. " dustin sighed running his hands through his curly hair.

" like home. like his home? " mike paced around the basement.

" or maybe like hawkins. " lucas starting putting pieces together.

" upside down. " el mumbled from the couch, everyone quick to turn their heads to her.

" -what'd she say? " lucas asked.

" -upside down. " mike started to catch on.

" what, i'm so confused right now. " missy got up and followed mike over to the table.

" upside down. " mike repeated picking up the dnd board off the table and flipped it over. " when el showed us where will was, she flipped the board over, remember? "

" no? " missy looked around, confused. the two boys joined the wheeler siblings at the table.

" upside down. dark. empty. " mike explained.

" i'm just as confused as missy, i don't understand what your talking about? " lucas spoke.

" guys, come on, think about it. when el took us to find will she took us to his house, right? " mike looked around at everyone.

" yeah. " missy shook her head no, feeling left out.

" yup, he wasn't there. " lucas spoke with sass.

" but what if he was there? what if we just couldn't see him? what if he was on the other side? " mike continued trying to get everyone on board. " what if this is hawkins and... " mike flipped the board back over. " this is where will is. the upside down. "

" like the vale of shadows. " dustin pointed out, starting to catch on.

" the, what? " missy dropped her head in her hands. dustin went to grab the dnd handbook and slammed it on the table, quickly flicking through the pages.
