After leaving the motel, Eleven found a car that seemed to be in good shape and no-one was around to be owning it.

She stopped to look at it and approached the vehicle.

"Do you like cars?", asked Michael as he noticed what she was doing.

"I think we could use it. But we'll have to get it working."

"My dad taught me a few things. I could try to fix it."

"Great."

Mike made his way to the car and kicked it a little before also looking at it.

"How's kicking going to get it fixed?"

"I'm just checking how intact it is."

"Right."

Mike went to the front of the car and seemed to be doing something and messing with the things inside it.

After fixing the car for a while, Michael finally finished.

"There, all done!", he said before getting up and testing the vehicle.

"Does it work?"

"Yup. Let's go."

Jane got into the other passenger seat and put the seatbelt on before giving Mike the heads up to start driving.

"So where are we going?"

"The same way we came."

"Why? Where are you going?"

"Somewhere."

"Could you at least tell me?"

Eleven looked at the boy beside her and crossed her arms before answering, "I work for the CIA. As of now. Probably not for long."

Suddenly, the car swerved.

"What?! S-so I'm carrying some sort of agent?! Cool!"

"Actually, it's not that cool."

"What do you mean? Don't you get to use like guns and do top secret mission and stuff?"

"No, it's not like that. The gun part is true though."

"That explains why you killed that guy back at the hotel."

"What were you even doing in his room."

"What were you doing with him?"

"It was all part of what I had to do."

"So you were on a mission of some sort?"

"Yes."

"Is it fun in the CIA?"

"No."

"Then why are you going back?"

"Because I need to return to this case."

Unexpectedly, the car reversed and turned around.

"Wait. What are you doing?!"

"Driving."

"No, I'm serious. What are you doing?!"

"If you don't like it in the CIA, you're not going back."

"I need to. Just turn around, please."

"No."

All of a sudden, Michael felt a sharp pain in his arm and went to the side of the road.

"Ow!", he yelled.

He looked at Eleven and noticed the evil glare she was giving him and the blood coming from her nose.

She realised what she was doing, stopped and reached out for Mike.

"No, I-I'm sorry. Please, don't hurt me.", he said.

"I won't. I'm sorry, I didn't mean to."

Michael processed in his head what had just happened and slowly put his shaky hands back on the steering wheel.

"H-how did you do that?", the 17-year-old asked.

"I-I have powers."

"Is that how you use them? To hurt people?"

"No." , replied Jane as she remembered why Dr. Brenner had said to her when she was 12.

"The longer you stay in the outside world, the more emotions you'll be able to develop and those can trigger your powers. Which could also lead to death."

"I would never kill a person."

But she almost did.

"I'll go back if you want me to.", said Michael.

"No, it's fine. Just keep going."

"Okay."
