A/N: I am back!

So this one shot is going to be pretty... different. Like episode 7 The Lost Sister?! I actually liked that episode. Don't judge me! I loved it even though it diverted away from the plot and felt different. So, Imma be doing something like that. EXCEPT this is afterwards. Meaning after season 2.

Mileven included! Also, I've been seeing this new ship around for Steve and someone else and I may be including that in this fic. I'm not saying, but Steve will finally get love that isn't from one of his children! YAY!

Here we go!

In the secret cabin in the woods, Eleven was sitting in the living room watching TV. This was pretty much the only thing she could do there other than eat food and sleep. She loved TV, but she needed more things to do. Luckily, Mike was coming over and he never made her bored. El liked Mike a lot and she was happy she was able to see him now after 353 days of waiting.

Once she heard the secret knock on the door, El immediately unlocked the door with her mind. Once she saw Mike enter, she jumped on him and wrapped her arms around him. Mike wrapped his arms around her and they hugged each other for what felt like a long time. They finally let go and looked into each other's eyes.

"Hey El. I missed you," Mike greeted.

El smirked. "It's only been a few days," she said in a teasing tone.

The boy chuckled. "Yeah, a few days too long," he said, grinning. He gave her a kiss on the cheek as they both sat down on the couch. "I brought a couple of movies we could watch. I mean, you must be getting bored of all this stuff on TV," Mike said, taking out a couple of movies from his backpack. "I got Star Wars, Ghostbusters, Jaws, Indiana Jones, Terminater, and Nightmare in Elm Street. I know it's a lot, but I couldn't decide. What do you want to watch?"

El looked over all the movies for a few minutes before pointing at one of them. "Star Wars," She said. Mike nodded and turned on the movie. El was fascinated throughout the entire movie and was loving every second of it. Mike grinned at all her reactions. Like her widened eyes at Darth Vader, her calling Leia pretty, saying that Luke and Han were cool, calling Chewbacca cute, and the droids funny. She cheered when Luke blew up the Death Star and clapped during the medal ceremony. El enjoyed every second of it.

Just as Mike was going to put in The Empire Strikes Back, he noticed El with a wide eyed face. "What's wrong?" He asked, sounding concerned.

El looked over at him with a worried face. "I heard someone talking to me. Not you," She said in a quiet voice.

"Do you know who it was?" Mike asked in a calm voice.

The girl nodded and looked away. "My sister," She said.

Mike looked surprised. "You have a sister? Does she have powers like you?" He asked in curiousity.

"Yes. She can make people see things she wants them to see. She made me see a butterfly and... Papa," El explained, shaking at the mention of Papa. "She kills bad men to make them pay. I nearly killed one too, but I realized it was wrong. Then I saw you in danger, so I ran away and came home." Mike put a comforting hand on her shoulder. She looked over at him and gave him a small smile before looking away. "She wants me back. She thinks we belong together. But we don't," She said.

Mike took a moment to let all of that sink in. Then he turned back to El and said, "Maybe she just wants to see you again? Make sure you're okay. She must care for you in some way." El thought about it and nodded. "You should go to her. I can come with you if you want so you're not alone," he offered. El nodded again, this time smiling. "Alright, we should go then. And we'll leave a note for Hopper, saying that we went to Will's for the night in case we don't get back till tomorrow,"

After Mike wrote down the note, the two left the cabin together and went to the bus stop.

...

During the bus ride to Chicago, El told Mike more about her sister, Kali. She also told him what she told no one before. Which was the fact that she forgot about everyone in Hawkins and became bitchin'. She also said that she hurt people for no reason during her adventure. Then she told him about her mama, Terry, who was in a comatose state and can't talk.

Mike listened and didn't interrupt during the whole story. El expected him to be mad at her, but he wasn't. He told her that he was sorry about her mama and that it was good that she realized that killing was wrong. Then he explained to her the difference between murder and self defense. When she killed bad men a year prior, it was to protect herself and her friends. Mike wasn't angry at all, which El was happy about.

"Mama isn't home. Kali isn't home. The cabin isn't home. The lab isn't home. You're my home Mike," El said.

What she said made Mike's heart soar. He smiled wide at her and kissed her on the lips. El kissed back and they let go after a few seconds. When they let go, they realized they were at their stop and got off the bus.

El showed him the familiar way she took when she was first in Chicago. They bumped into a few people, who El called mouthbreathers. Mike couldn't help but chuckle at her calling people mouthbreathers. They finally made it to the alleyway that El recognized and walked through it. Then they went into a building that El remembered going into. They saw the gang, Axel, Dottie, Mick, and Funshine in there by a fire. The two both took a deep breath and stepped forward, holding hands.

"Hello?" El called out. Mike could tell that she was nervous, so he squeezed her hand in comfort. The four criminals turned to face them, looking intimidating.

"Well well well. Look what the cat dragged in," Axel said. "It's Shirley and she brought a boy with her."

"Is Kali here?" El asked.

The criminals exchanged looks with each other. The kids could feel their hearts pounding fast as they turned back to look at them. "She's refusing to talk to any of us ever since you left. We've been pulling heists without her now, and we barely make it out without her powers. She's basically miserable," Mick explained.

El felt awful now since she caused this by leaving. She made Kali upset and miserable because of her running away. Kali did care about her after all. She took a deep breath before speaking up again. "Can I see her? I could help her be better," she said.

"You can try, Miss Jane. She normally hangs out where you used to sleep," Funshine said. El nodded and went up the stairs to where her bed was, leaving Mike alone with the thugs. They looked over at him with threatening looks and he nervously grinned and waved.

"Hey guys, what's up! Don't kill me please. I'm a friend of El's," Mike said nervously.

"Who the hell is El? We only know Jane," Dottie said.

Mike raised an eyebrow. "Jane? She never told me her real name was Jane. I'll ask her about it later. No need to kill me though. She wanted me to come with," He said.

"Why?" Axel asked. "Why you, a little boy of all people?"

Mike sighed. "Because we're really close. And she says that if I'm nearby, she won't forget who she really is."

A/N: Part 2 to this oneshot will come soon!
