STRANGER THINGS S4/ "ONE MORE TIME"

Chapter 16.-¿Where are we?

It was a rainy afternoon, this time it was not possible to practice in the woods as they had done all those days, Mike's parents were not at home so they could be in the basement without fear of someone spying on them, They didn't even have to worry about Nancy since Jonathan had taken her on a road trip, Will knew that he had arranged a very romantic date, even helping him find a beautiful cabin on the outskirts of town, for him it was disgusting what they would probably do in that cabin, but any pretext was good to get rid of his brother and Nancy for a while.

All the guys were there, the first few hours were somewhat uncomfortable, despite Kali's resistance, El insisted that she should present her to others since there should be no secrets between them, the guys already knew a part of the story since Eleven told everyone what happened 2 years ago on her trip to Chicago, but now they knew almost everything about her, they even found her powers extremely interesting.

"Please Kali, only once again, I promise that this time I will win!!". Dustin begged Kali, knowing about her powers and once he felt confident enough he asked her to create imaginary ships to chase him, so he could try to tear them down and find out if he would be a good Jedi.

"¿Really Dustin ? ¿Do you think it's a good time for star wars?". Mike said annoyed. "We have to continue!!, El must still practice, our plan is not yet perfect, that place will be dangerous!!, we cannot fail... I mean.. you...you cannot fail". Mike corrected himself nervously when he felt Eleven's gaze on him.

"Don't be boring Wheeler". Kali interrupted him, mocking him, she didn't know if it was because of all the bad things that had happened or because of all the loneliness of the last few months but those children liked her, really like her.

"For this occasion I agree with Mike, El has to practice". Max in the background was also very worried about Eleven, she didn't want to make the same mistakes of the past.

"Maybe I am not understanding, I believed that El could already control her powers again, what happens to everything you told us, those huge trees and rocks she could throw??". Lucas seemed confused.

"It's true, Kali got Eleven's telekinetic powers back with a shock of emotions, which I still don't agree with by the way!... but she must still practice the... psychic aspect? I don't know what to call it ... but she still can't get into the void, look for people and all that stuffs, that is of the utmost importance too, she need to look for Hopper, ensure his location, be sure he is there, otherwise nothing we do will make sense". Mike sounded somewhat frustrated, he felt that the clock was against everyone.

"You did it the other night at my house, right?". Dustin remembered the night after the party.

"Dustin is right, you were asleep, you entered the void and not only that ... you managed to take Mike with you!". Will seemed excited as if he had an idea. "In fact, both of them slept, if I have learned something in my art class, it is that by sleeping and relaxing, parts of our brain that make us more skilled and creative are activated, that's why in dreams we see amazing things, my best drawings have been taken from my dreams and... !! ".

"Isn't it that I don't enjoy art class but could you get to the point?". Kali interrupted him a little impatiently.

"I mean that unlike El's telekinetic powers, her psychic powers may only go through a blockage, due to trauma, she is constantly stressed and scared, in these conditions it is difficult to concentrate, maybe the solution is simple, you should practice in a total state of relaxation, it is no longer about moving things with your mind, it is a struggle with yourself and you should be as relaxed as possible, almost like being asleep".
