Eleven sat on the sofa in the wheelers basement with her feet over Alex's lap still playing with the walkie-talkie. The three boys stood around a table discussing what they were planning on doing.
Eleven and Alex weren't paying much attention to the boys conversation as eleven was focused on the walkie and Alex was focused on El.
All of a sudden Dustin walks in front Alex and El holding some sort of toy. "Hey. Hey." He says snapping the girls out of what they were focusing on. Assuming that he was talking to El not her, Alex moved Els feet off her lap and walking over to were the other two boys were. She looked over the table where she saw a mix of different foods and snacks.
One that particularly interested her was a long red tube that read "Pringles" on the front. She picked them up and turned to Mike and asked "May I?" Referring to the Pringles.
"Uh...yeah, whatever" the young boy responded before turning back to were Dustin was trying (and failing) to get Eleven to use her powers. Alex opened up the Pringles and took one out to inspect it. She then ate it slowly and smiled at the taste.
"Boys! Time for school!" Mikes mum yelled from upstairs to them. Dustin and Lucas got their stuff and made their way out of the basement while Alex lifted Els legs up again and returned to their previous position with the Pringles still in Alex's hand.
"Just stay down here. Don't make any noise and don't leave." Mike explained. "If you get hungry, eat Dustin's snacks, okay? Alex already has." Mike glanced at the older girl who had a mouthful of Pringles.
"Micheal!" Mikes mum yelled to alert the boy.
"Coming!" He responded glancing up at the door before glancing back at the girls on the sofa. "You know the power lines?." The boy questioned.
"Power lines?" El asked confused.
"Yeah. The ones behind my house. Meet us their after school" The boy continued.
"After...school?" El asked once again confused.
"Yeah, 3:15" the boy then proceeded to take of his watch and wrap it around the young girls wrist. "When the numbers read three-one-five meet us there"
"Three-one-five"El confirmed.
"Three-one-five"the boy said one more time. Alex sat watching the interaction between the to children eating the Pringles. The young kids stared at each other for a moment before Mike grabbed his stuff and left.
Alex and El were alone in the basement once again sitting doing nothing until Alex reached her arm out offering a Pringle to her young sister, which she responded by shaking her head.
********************
It had been a while since Mike and the others left and Alex and El were in the basement. Alex was laying on the sofa steering at the ceiling while El sat crossed legged on the floor using her powers to lift up the previous toy with her mind.
When she got bored she let the toy drop to the floor and looked around for something to do, when she remembered upstairs. She quickly twisted her body round and tapped Alex's arm. Alex turned her head to look at El as El pointed to the stairs silently asking to go up.
Alex and El both stood up and headed up the stairs and looked around the house that Mike had showed them around the previous day. While El sat down in the lay-Z boy chair, Alex went up to the family pictures she had previously seen and looked at the same picture of Mikes sister. Looking at the picture Alex's slowly raised her hand to touch her shaved head.
