(A/N) Hey guys! Heres the first chapter, this one is gonna be a lot more complicated Plot wise so it will take awhile to order and sort through it all in my head, I never plan just to make it more difficult for myself haha but hopefully I can keep the same update schedule, Enjoy the sequel guys and as always please review! It helps more than you think, believe me.
"The Lab has her Mike, you can save her, the world needs the both of you but unfortunately there is a price if you do go back, it's a costly one" the entity warned
Mike Looked at his fourteen year old self and closed his eyes.
"What's the price?" Mike asked re-opening his eyes, he had to know.
The Entity had a glint in its eyes.
"if you go back then your Soul will belong to me and when you die again you will neither go to Heaven or Hell but you will come here to the Void, awake and aware for all eternity, eventually you will go mad, alone and insane. Your love for her will turn into a curse, this won't be Hell but you'll wish that you were there instead of here" The Entity said bluntly
Mike felt his heart break into a million pieces, an eternity without El? He would suffer in a void, forever alone, till the end of time, Mike closed his eyes, 353 days felt like an eternity but this was incomprehensible.
It wasn't even a question for Mike though, his love for El was beyond what would happen to him, this was here and now, it didn't matter what happened to him.
"it doesn't matter what happens to me, I need to save her, save my child" he whispered
"So be it, Michael Wheeler" The Entity clicked his fingers and Mike turned into a bluish smoke before shooting through the white void and out of sight. Slowly the Void began to go back to it's original blackened state.
Neither him nor the girl truly understood what the void was, it was the place between dimensions, almost like a spiritual bridge that linked certain dimensions to another. However for the sake for all creation the Void was cut off from the dimensions it was connected to.
When Eleven was forced to Traverse the void for the Lab it re-established that long broken bridge and she awoke something far more terrible than anything anyone could dare imagine in their wildest fantasises or in their deepest nightmares.
It was true, it was neither God or the Devil, it was beyond such concepts of good and evil. Although this didn't matter. It would soon get what It truly wanted for so many years.
Red Lightning flashed all around as the entity shifted its form to a black smoke, before vanishing from Mike's mirror and into the void, its plan was coming to fruition.
Humans were so easy to manipulate.
It was Pathetic.
Mike turned to look through the doorway that El had gone through to tend to their son Nathaniel. He walked out and through the house to his child's room, leaned in the doorway as he watched cradle their newborn, she lightly bounced him as she quietly sung a song.
He watched as a smile tugged at his lips, god he was so in love with her, all because of one rainy night in 1983, from the moment they met their fates were intertwined, woven until the fabric had become one between them.
She noticed him watching her, she put a finger to her lips to shush him, laughter tugging at the corner of her mouth.
"I wasn't doing anything" he mouthed back, he laughed silently trying not to make it audible.
She carefully placed Nathaniel back down into his crib, Mike came and stood beside her, they starred down at their child. He wrapped his arm around her waist and she automatically leaned her head onto his shoulder, he was surprised there wasn't an El sized indent on his shoulder due to the amount of times that she had placed her head there over the long, long years.
El peacefully rested her head there, one of her favourite places to rest apart from her pillow. She led him by hand away and into their own bedroom, she tucked her head under his chin and soon enough she fell asleep blissfully unaware of the inner turmoil that had plagued Mike for many months.
Mike woke up sweaty and shaky, he tried to control his breathing, He threw the covers off of himself and carefully walked into the bathroom, trying to not wake his sleeping wife nor his son who finally managed to drift off to sleep
He saw their faces again. As he pulled the trigger and blood and brain matter splattered the wall behind him, as he strangled the life out of Brenner watching the light fade from their eyes as he took their lives.
He accepted that he killed people, he knew that, knew the risks. But the way he killed that guard and Brenner was different, he could of spared the guard and he could of dealt with Brenner differently.
But no, he killed them mercilessly, in a cold-blooded rage that was unbecoming of Mike, El knew Brenner was dead but she didn't know the way in which he died. Mike didn't have the heart to tell her.
"if you kill someone Mike, you won't come back from that" Will's voice echoed in his mind. Will was right, it had haunted him from the moment that he had done it. He turned to look back at El's sleeping form.
It was worth it, whatever mental tortures he had endure was worth it because right here right now she was free and so was his child. That was all that mattered to him.
Slowly Mike turned the faucet on and splashed some water on his face, ridding it of the cold sweat that he had woken up with, his head rose to look in the mirror.
It was there.
It was always there.
The Entity starred right back at him.
