"To be honest with you, kid, I... I wish it was. Last night, I saw something. Something I've been dreading for some time. I don't know how to say this other than just to say it. Hawkins is in danger."Owens says,my heart drops thinking about all my friends in Hawkins, my boyfriend.

"You have both fought this evil before and you've won. It's great to see you followed the van, we were going to get you"Owens says. I tilt my head to the side, how am I involved with this?

"But this evil, it's like a virus. Each time it returns, it comes back stronger, smarter, deadlier."Owens explains, my heart speeds up

"A war is coming to Hawkins."Owens says, I pay close attention.

"There are good people,brave friends, who have helped you fight your battle in the past. But they alone can't win this war,not without you or you I know it's not fair to ask more of you two but I wouldn't be hereif I didn't think this was the only way, if I didn't think you were he only one who might have a shot to hit this thing so hard it can't get back up."Owens rambled

"I don't have my powers."El says

"And my powers aren't strong enough, after all the years I didn't use them"I say

"What if I told you there was a way... A way to bring them back? I feared this moment would come, so I've been preparing, developing the means to restore your abilities and make yours stronger, A program has the potential to not just bring them back, but bring them back stronger than before. But there are others who don't believe in you, who think you are the cause. I believe they're wrong. I believe you're the cure. That's why, if we're really gonna do this, I'm gonna ask that you two leave with me now. But you should know there is a very real possibility this program fails. And if it does, you will never see your friends again."Owens explains

"Our friends in Hawkins, are they in danger?"El asks

"I'm afraid your friends in Hawkins are very much...in the eye of the storm. You may feel you need to go to them now, but if you do, you will risk everything, risk everyone. They're not the only ones in danger. It's life as we know it, This is why I'm here. Because I believe you twp are our best hope. Our only hope.

"What if were not good?"El says

"What if were the monster?"I ask him

"I don't know you that well, kiddos, but I'm betting the fate of the plane that you're one of the good ones. But you've spent too much of your life being told what to do by people like me. I know that. So, you say the word and I will take you two back home. Or... Come with me now. Find out for yourself."Owens says, I give him a hard look and nod

We were out of there, El and I sat in the back, hands connected and staying strong for the other, I'm doing this for my friends, my boyfriend, my brothers, my mom and everyone else that I love. El falls asleep on my shoulder and I smile at her, she must be exhausted from all this information. Soon enough I fall asleep with her.

The car jolts waking both El and I

"Apologies for the bumpy ride kiddos"Owens says, as he notices were awake

"I would have paved the road but it kinda ruins the top secret location thing"He says,light heartily. Making El and smile a bit

"Did you two get some rest?"He asks

"A little"We answer

"Good, I have a feel your gonna need it"Owens tells us, that makes me feel a little uneasy.
