Eleven's POV-

"So... You want me to go out there?" I asked, looking at the rest of the other side through the window. Teen patted me on the shoulder.

"Not alone, Twelve is going with you." Teen said, looking outside with me. "I would too but the last time I left the house the protective shield fell and..."

Teen looked like she was remembering something, but quickly shrugged it off.

"Twelves already waiting by the door, here." She said, handing me a bat. I looked at, slowly taking it "so you don't have to use your powers all that much."

I nodded, I wasn't even sure what we were looking for, but I knew we had to look for it. So I volunteered to help, not like there was anyone else to volunteer instead, but you get my point.

I met Twelve at the door, Thirteen behind me.

"You ready for me to lower the protection?" Teen asked, smiling a bit. Twelve nodded "good luck"

We walked out, I shivered slightly as it got darker. Twelve looked around and sighed.

"We're looking for the gate." She said as we walked. I knew what building it was in but I didn't know WHERE that building was.

"You don't know where the building is either?" I asked, looking at her confused.

"No, I was passed out and Teen said she was too. One was the only one who saw the way. Dragged us all the way to the house. One day she went out to look for it. Never came back. We had to assume she got out or..." Twelve said, stopping, but I knew what she meant.

"I just... Ended up here, in the middle of nowhere." I confessed. Honestly when it happened, I was scared to death. Didn't think I would survive. I probably wouldn't have if it wasn't for them.

"So, tell me about this Mike." Twelve said. I looked at her confused, wondering why she wanted to know "kinda hard coming up with small talk with someone that's like 5 years younger than you." She admitted.

"Friend." I said simply, looking around.

"I know that zippy, I mean what was he like. Or.. What did he look like?" She asked as we continued to walk.

"He was kind... Stuck up for me." I started, still walking. "Going to snowball together."

"Snowball?" She asked. I nodded.

"Cheesy dance." I said, quoting what I remembered of our conversation that night. She nodded her head a bit.

"any other friends?" She asked. "You told us how you met, but you said there were others. Who were they?" She asked. Honestly I enjoyed this conversation. Made me forget we were on the other side and could die any second.

"Lucas and Dustin." I said. "Lucas was mean sometimes, but great friend. Dustin was very kind, easily fascinated."

"They seem nice. Did they know?" She asked, hinting about the powers. I nodded. "Wow. They must be important then."

I nodded again, smiling before putting my attention back to the task at hand.

Getting out of here.
