It got to be about 11pm and Joyce had told the rest of the kids to go to bed, Lucas and Max stayed back to put the fire out as well and Dustin went to bed.  Mike got a glass of water then headed into his and els room to see el sitting on the bed writing in a book.
Mike: el? I thought you wanted to go to bed
    *El shoved the notebook under the blankets using her powers hoping mike wouldn't see and looked up at mike*
El: yeah sorry i uh couldn't fall asleep
Mike: el im not that stupid *he laughs*
El: i was just writing, its nothing
Mike: then why did you hide it
El: because i don't know who was at the door, could have been a murderer for all i know *she nervously laughs*
Mike: el im going to say this again, im not stupid
El: fine mike, i was writing in a book about me gaining my fucking powers back beacuase nobody would understand or care, there
Mike: woah what, your powers are back
El: coming back *corrected him*
Mike: And you don't have to keep your feelings locked up in a book, I've been helping you sense what 1983?
El: sorry
    *Mike sat down on the bed next to her*
Mike: wait so your powers are actually coming back
El: yeah i guess
Mike: Are you not happy about it?
El: no not really, i moved back to hawkins, hops dead, the lab is so close to my house, and what if i don't use them properly or i don't know mike
Mike: the bad men are dead, your safe in hawkins, and you wouldn't misuse your powers, just give it time ok
El: why do you have to be so nice to me
Mike: Is that even a question? I love you
El: i'm just a burden in your life ever since 1983 mike
Mike: my life would be boring as hell if you weren't in it, and you just made it better el
