The second I appeared into the world again it was… different. I was in the middle of a cul-de-sac. I could recognize this neighborhood very well, it was mine and the house I was facing was my house. There was something different though. The car, it was different, all the cars were different. The one in my driveway was a small gray van and on the back was a little H sign. There were other differences as well, like the kids. They had different styles then what I was used to, I had also never seen them in my life. Speaking of kids one started walking toward me.

"Hey, boy I've never seen you before. Are you okay?" A girl walked up to me. She had short purple hair that got longer in the front and small white glasses that made her hazel eyes that much bigger.

I opened my mouth ready to speak when blood came out. The girl stepped back almost instantly, trying to avoid the red liquid from hitting her white converses.

"Oh boy! You definitely aren't okay." She saw that my hands were covered in my blood, "And you're losing too much blood. My mom's a doctor, I'll be right back!"

I watched her run to one of the houses in the little cul-de-sac. More specifically my house. I have observed enough to tell you that this was not 1984 anymore. I don't know how or why, but I teleported into the future. Far into the future. It was about two minutes later when I saw the girl come out the front door followed by an older lady. I didn't need to guess that, that was her mother. She had short, brown hair and bright brown eyes that were filled with love and curiosity. Those eyes were to familiar. I know that I've seen those eyes from somewhere.

The girl and her mother were now right by my side when I got a chance to hear the woman's voice, "Oh my goodness. Don't worry kid I got you covered. I promise." I know that voice to. Now I'm sure who she was, "Pemarie get the first aid kit and a wash cloth!" She ordered.

I made sure the girl, or Pemarie, was out of hearing range before I said a last word, "Eleven?"

The women looked at me with wide eyes, "What?" I slowly lifted up my hand to grab her left wrist, I flipped it over. The number was missing. She most of covered it up with something. I gently rubbed my thumb against the spot where I remembered her number and it slowly appeared. She quickly yanked her wrist from my hand and then put it on my cheek, "Mike?"

"Yeah." I mumbled in just barely a whisper.

"You will get through this… I promise" She smiled when Pemarie came back with a rag and a first aid kit. "Go to sleep Mike." She didn't have to tell me that twice. I slowly closed my eyes as darkness came over me.

My eyes flutter open staring straight into a light. It took a second for my eyes to adjust to the light. When they did, my memory started flashing back to me. The whole different times thing still shook me a bit. I looked to my left to see Eleven sitting in a sofa chair watching something on a large screen.

"Woah!" When I looked at the screen my eyes burned away with astonishment.

El quickly grabbed a remote and turned off the tv. She turned to look at me and smiled, "You're awake." She stated.

"Yeah." I smiled back, "What time is it?"

"9:35 a.m. on a Tuesday. February 13, 2017." My eyes shot open at the last thing she said.

"2017?!" I tried to sit up, but that only made pain shoot up my entire body, "Ow!"

Eleven moved to my side and put her hand on my shoulder, "No"

I calmed down a bit and laid my head back down. "So you're a doctor now?"

Her lips curved up into a smile when she nodded, "Yeah."

I smiled back, "Thirty-three years later. That makes you what like forty-five?" I laughed.

"Hey! You know you should be my age right now." Her smile faded, "I haven't seen you in thirty-three years. What happened?" She asked.

"For me that was, what, a few hours ago." I looked down, "I don't know how I did it, but somehow I teleported to the future."

"But why?"

"I have a theory that when I got shot my powers started to go a little haywire." I looked back up and forced a smile, "So you're not just a forty-five year old doctor, but also a mother living in my house."

I saw her face light up and she started laughing, "Yeah I guess so." I looked up at her questionly. "I'll tell you a little story, how about that." my smile got wider as I nodded. "Okay, so when you left Joyce took me in. About a year later I started going to school with Dustin, Lucas, and Will. That's when stuff started getting a little crazy. Will started getting sick non stop and had to go to the hospital. Soon after he… died." Her face fell, "Joyce started going into depression and Hopper thought that was a bad environment for me and so he found my birth mother. Her name is Terry Ives and my Aunt Becky lived with her on the other side of Indiana. I lived there for a while then I went to medical school in Boston where I found Lucas also training to be a doctor. We both moved back to Hawkins where we found Dustin as a science teacher. When I found out that Karen was moving to Seattle I bought the house. Not to long after I adopted Pemarie and… Mike." Her smile formed back on her face.

"You have a son that was named after me?" I was honestly surprised.

"Yeah." She looked back up at me.

"What ever happened to Carson?" I asked.

"She got married to Dustin and they had a daughter named Nancy."

"Like my sister."

"Yeah. Your sister died about six years ago and Carson died five years ago." Her smile faded again, "Both from bomb attacks. There has been gang activity right outside of Hawkins."

"Oh my god." My smile faded as well, "Let's change the subject." I looked up at the large screen on the wall. "Is that a tv?" I asked.

"Yeah." She took out a small device from her pocket and handed it to me. It looked like the tv, but smaller. "That's a phone." I looked up at her in disbelief.

"You know when I had to explain things to you. Now you need to explain things to me." Both of our smiles were back again.

She started explaining the revolution of the tv showing me pictures on her phone. Then she explained the phone itself showing me everything she could, going on to cars. She showed me Netflix, Hulu and Youtube. I listened to some music of the 21 century like twenty one pilots, Ed Sheeran, BTS, Eminem and Sia. I was so interested in it all, but I was starting to get hungry. Eleven thought of an idea for a snack, so I just waited.

I heard something pop about three minutes after Eleven left to the kitchen, "It's ready!" I heard her shuffling through the cabinets for a plate. She came out of the kitchen with two plates covered in waffles, "Here are your eggos mister Mike." She smiled.

"No way!" I smiled as she helped me sit up, "I should have known."

Before we could start eating there was a knock on the door, "I'll get it." I watched her go to the front door. When she opened it a smile formed, "You aren't going to believe who I found earlier today."

She opened the door a little wider when I saw someone walk in. It was a tall man with short black hair and small squared glasses.

"Lucas?" The ends of his mouth curved up into a smile.

"Mike?" He ran over to me and embraced me into a hug.

"Ow!" I yelled as pain ran up my spine.

"Oh sorry." He looked at my side and say the bandage, "What happened?"

"Do you remember when I disappeared from Will's floor with a bullet through me?" He nodded, "For you that was thirty-three years ago, but for me that was about ten hours ago."

"So those months of searching for you were for nothing?" He looked down.

"No. It meant that we had hope." Eleven said, "I'm going to call Dustin."

"Okay." Eleven left the room and pulled out her phone.

Lucas looked back making sure El was out of hearing range before he smiled, "So you're back. You know if you're here over a month time will start catching up with you."

"I didn't know that." I took a bite of my EGGO.

"Once Dustin gets here we need to start training you, so you can go back to your time in 1984.

"I don't think I can."

"You have to. This reality is terrible. Will, Carson, Nancy, and Max all died."

"Who's Max?" I asked.

"Someone I met in high school. I was a loner there without Eleven, Will, Dustin and you."

"Dustin? I thought he stayed."

"He did, but we took our separate ways. You know Mike you left when we needed you the most."

A frown appeared on my face, "I'm sorry. I can't control my powers at all."

"I know."

We both saw Eleven run out the door crying. Lucas quickly got up and started running after her. I ripped the blanket off of me and stood up. It was easier than I thought I waited for pain, but it didn't really show itself. I slowly walked out the door to see Lucas holding El in his arms with tears in his eyes as well.

"What happened?" I asked.

Lucas looked down at me and sobbed a little before saying, "Someone bombed the school. All the kids and teachers died." I remembered Eleven telling me that Dustin was a science teacher now. "Dustin was in the building at the time."

"Oh my god." I looked down before saying. "When do I start?"

"What?" Eleven finally spoke.

"If I'm ever going to go back to the time before all of this started I need to train, so when do I start."

"Now." Eleven freed herself from Lucas's arms and walked over to me, "Come on, we're going to Mirkwood."

Lucas opened the passenger side door and Eleven opened the driver's side. I slowly opened the back door and slid myself in. I slammed the door shut and stared at everything in awe. The whole inside was cooler than I thought. The seats were soft and comfortable and the legroom was large. When I looked between the two front seats I saw a little square screen. On the screen was the time and whatever song was playing.

Eleven looked back at me, tears still stained her cheeks and said, "Seatbelt."

"Oh yeah." I grabbed the strip of webbing on my right and clicked it to the box on my left.

"Why Mirkwood?" I asked.

"Because if you used your powers in front of a bunch of people you would be tested on. Use common sense." Lucas said.

"I know that. I'm just asking why Mirkwood of all places?"

"Because we're going to Will's house." Eleven answered with her eyes on the road.

"But his house is abandoned." Lucas looked at her.

"I think that's the point." I said.

It was silent the rest of the car ride. I stared out the window the whole time. Parents and kids were crying from the recent bomb attack on the middle school. That's when I started thinking.

"El?" I looked to the driver.

"Yes?"

"Where were the other bomb attacks?" I asked.

"Well the one Carson died in was at the park and Nancy died in the one at the high school. Max died in the one at the pawn shop. That's all." Eleven started to sob a little.

"I don't think it's gang activity." I saw her look up with a questioning look.

"What?" Lucas asked.

"If you think about it, why would a gang want to bomb a park, two schools and a pawn shop? Unless it's not a gang."

"I mean you could be right, but who would it be then?" Lucas looked back at me.

"Well in all the bombings someone we knew died. First Nancy, then Carson, Max and Dustin. And who knows, maybe others that left hawkins to."

"What are you saying?"

"It has to be someone who knows… about the lab and everything."

Eleven and Lucas both got out of the stopped car. Lucas opened my door and helped me out. I looked up and saw an old house. The roof was falling in and the wood was rotting away. There was a huge gap in the middle that led into the small house. I started walking closer and closer to the gap. Eleven was slowly following behind me. I stepped onto the porch which made a loud cracking noise. I took another step which made an even louder noise. Before the porch could fall in I jumped into the gap. I regretted it the second I did it. A shocking amount of pain shot up my spine. I slowly got up and looked around. My arm was around my stomach as I walked around.

The walls were covered in black paint saying the ABC's it wasn't just on the one wall it was on all of them. The carpet was gooey and dry like the grass in the Upside-Down. I walked into the kitchen surprised to see a huge hole in the ceiling. Planks of wood were pointing down at the perfect angle for someone to slide down. If you did slide down you would get a thousand splinters in a second. I walked past that and went into the hallway. There was a huge bloody stain right in the middle. I tried to jump over and succeeded. I opened Will's room only to see the walls were blue and everything in it was girly and nerdy at the same time. This must've been where Eleven slept. This room was different, it was cleaner. The carpet was the same gooey feeling, but the wall was perfectly blue. The bed was made and everything seemed to be organized and put into place. I walked over and sat down on the bed. That's when I blacked out.

When I blacked out I had a sort of vision or maybe a dream. In this 'dream' I saw El. She wasn't forty-five like right now in the future or thirteen like when I last saw her before. She was sixteen, if you want to know how I knew that. There were balloons all over her room and the words sweet sixteen over the head of her bed. She was lying down on her bed reading the Lord of the Rings. I heard a buzzing noise coming from the side of her bed. Apparently she heard it to. She bookmarked the page and slammed it down on her bed. She reached over to her nightstand and grabbed a supercom. Maybe I'm watching the past. I thought to myself. I looked back at Eleven who was smiling the brightest smile I've ever seen.

"Hello?... Over." I heard her say.

"HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ELEVEN, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU. HAPPY SWEET SIXTEEN!" I heard about six voices coming from the other end.

"AWWW! Thanks guys!" El smiled an even bigger smile.

"Well, we just wanted to let you know that we will be at your party around six, okay?" I heard Lucas say over the supercom.

"Okay." Eleven's smile was still there.

"We're going to let you talk to your boyfriend." BOYFRIEND!? Who is he?

"Whatever, Max." I heard about Max from Lucas.

"Bye El!" I heard five voices faintly on the other side.

"Bye… You still there my little DM?"

"Yes."

"I've missed you."

"You saw me yesterday."

"I know, but every time you're gone I miss you." I saw El blush.

"I miss you to." El's face got even redder.

"Romeo, oh Romeo." Romeo? Seriously, who is this guy?

"Hey! Just, because I'm Romeo in the school play doesn't mean you can start calling me Romeo."

"But I'm Juliet."

"The only reason I'm actually in the play is, because you and the english teacher both begged me into it."

"Can you say the line please."

"No."

"Please, it's my favorite line." Eleven started begging.

"Mmm… fine. Death that hath-"

Eleven interrupted, "No in the Romeo voice."

"You're pushing it."

"Please."

"Death that hath sucked the honey of thy breath, hath had no power yet upon thy beauty." El smiled so bright that even the sun would bow down to her.

"I love you." She said.

"I love you to El."

There was a silence for a minute before El spoke again, "Mike?" This must be a dream.

"Yeah?"

"You're here aren't you?"

"How did you know?"

"Because I know you."

There was another long pause before Eleven put her supercom down and watched the door fly open. A young tall boy with wild freckles and long soild black hair burst into the room. He held his arms out and slowly walk over to El and embraced her into a hug.

"Happy Birthday." The boy or better known as me, Mike, said.

"Thank you." El said back, "Why are you here so early?"

"Because I wanted to be the first one to your party."

"Well then, let the festivities began!" Eleven smiled.

Sixteen year old Mike laughed. He looked down at her and smiled. I know that smile. What is my sixteen year old self thinking? I asked myself. Before I knew it my future self pushed El on the bed and took off his jacket before he jumped on the bed with her. They were both laughing so hard. When the giggles finally came to an end future Mike leaned on his side so he could face El. She did the same. They stared into eachothers eyes for a second. Their faces were just centimeters apart leaning in even closer. Before I could see the rest I woke up on Eleven's old bed in the now rusted home.

"What the hell was that?" I asked myself.

I slowly got off the bed and walked out the door. I walked around the big gaping hole and stood at the front door. I looked down at hole. It was to big to jump over, about five feet. I knew that I could try to teleport over it, but that didn't seem like a safe idea. Oh who cares?! I closed my eyes and thought about moving to the other side of the porch. I felt a swift wind in my face. I slowly opened my eyes and saw that I was now on the other side. About seven feet away from the front door.

"Yes!... Owwww!" My wound started to shoot pain all around my body.

"Mike!" I heard Eleven's voice shout out after me, "Mike are you okay?"

"How about we start my training tomorrow when I won't go through pain every time I teleport." I suggested.

"Good idea. Do you think you could get up?"

"No. Not really." Eleven put her arm around my back as she lifted me up.

My feet were slowly following the trail back to the car. El's arm was still around me as she helped me walk. Once we got to the car Lucas hopped out and opened the back door. Eleven lifted me inside and closed the door behind her. She walked over to the driver's seat and started the car. The whole car ride was silent back to the house.

I must've fell asleep in the car, because when my eyes opened I was on a bed with light coming through the window. I let my eyes slowly adjust to the light. I sat up and started to look around. The walls were blue and on them were posters. One poster had Star Wars on it, there was a Harry Potter poster, Marvel, DC, Twilight, etc. I didn't know what Harry Potter or Twilight was, so I looked around some more. On the bookshelf was thousands of books. There were seven books with the name Harry Potter on them so I picked them up. 'Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone', 'Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets', 'Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban', 'Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire', 'Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix', Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows'.

"That's a lot." I said to myself.

I put them all back and looked at some of the other books. Twilight? I remembered seeing that on the wall. I grabbed four more books. 'Twilight', 'New Moon', 'Eclipse', and 'Breaking Dawn'. I turned one of the books upside down and saw one word I didn't want to think about, Romance. I flipped through the book and saw something quite interesting. It was one of the things Romeo says that I can remember;

"Death that hath sucked the honey of thy breath hath had no power yet upon thy beauty." I quoted.

"Romeo?" I saw Eleven walk through the door.

"Ummm…" I quickly forced the books back in the shelf.

"Don't worry I won't tell anyone about your love for romance." She laughed.

"I do not love romance." I crossed my arms.

"My favorite is probably Harry Potter or the Lord of the Rings." I saw a smile cross her face.

"Yeah the Lord of the Rings is good."

"And Harry Potter."

"Sorry, never read it, but the second it comes out I'll be the first to read it." I smiled.

"I think that maybe you need to change." She pointed at my outfit, still bloodstained and gooey.

"You're right, you're right." I said.

El grabbed my hand and pulled me up off the ground. She guided me to the closet and opened it. There were t-shirts, jeans, jackets, three skirts, and two dresses.

"This is a girls closet." I stated.

"Yeah, and…"

"I don't want to wear girly clothes."

"Don't worry Pemarie isn't into all the girly stuff." She smiled and looked into the closet.

She reached in and grabbed a navy blue hoodie. Then she grabbed out a pair of blue jeans, "Try these on. I'll try to find you some shoes. Pemarie has very small feet you probably won't fit in her shoes, so…" Eleven walked out the room and closed the door behind her.

I stared at the clothes she gave me for a second before trying them on. The blue hoodie felt warm and sleek. There were two words right in the middle that said 'Under Armor'. I didn't understand it.

"Under Armour?" I questioned myself. "Okay, whatever."

After I tried on the hoodie and determined that it fit, I tried on the jeans. They fit almost perfectly. They were a little tight around the waist, but I can manage. I walked over to the mirror and looked at myself through the glass. I actually looked quite good, if I do say so myself. I twisted my hand to the side when I heard a knock at the door.

"You done?" I heard El's voice through the door.

"Yes." I answered.

The door opened slowly as El walked in with a pair of tennis shoes. They were the same blue as my hoodie and had a weird looking logo on the side.

"Pemarie and Mike both love Under Armour." She said handing me the shoes.

"These shoes are also Under Armour?" I asked before she walked out.

"Yeah, Under Armour is a good brand." (a/n: I feel like I'm advertising Under Armour. They need to pay me for this)

"Oh okay."

I sat down on the floor and took the pair of socks out of one of the shoes. I put them on then the shoes. I tied up the blue laces and stood up. I looked at myself again in the mirror before walking out the door. That used to be my room. I noticed. I slowly walked down stairs, making sure to not irritate my wound. I walked into the kitchen and looked at a small black machine.

"What's this?" I asked Eleven.

"What?" She looked over at me.

"This." I read the letters at the top, "Ker-iu-ga."

El giggled at my attempt to read the brand, "The keurig?"

"Yeah that."

"It's a coffee machine." She finally answered.

"How does it work?"

She gently pushed me out of the way and pointed at one side, "First you have to fill it up with water." It was already filled. She grabbed a little cup from a spinning little cup holder. "Then you get a cup filled with ground coffee. These were made for the keurig, they're called k-cups." She lifted up the top of the machine, "You put the k-cup in the lid and close it." She did just that then pressed a button with a cup on it, "And finally you press the button." Nothing happened.

"Is it broken?" I asked.

"No silly. I didn't turn it on. Plus I'm not stupid enough to not put a cup underneath." She laughed.

"Oh." I blushed with embarrassment.

I walked into the living room and stared at the tv. It was already on and playing the news. I didn't feel like changing the channel so I just sat down on the sofa and watched it for about two hours. I started getting bored so I got up and started looking around the house. The first place I ventured was the dining room. It looked just like it did when I lived here. I walked out and ventured upstairs instead. I already saw what my room looked like so I went to Nancy's old room. I opened the door and saw that the walls were covered in blue instead of pink and was filled with toy cars and sports stuff. I walked out and went to my parents old room. The door was already open when I walked in. I looked around and had to guess that this was Eleven's room. The walls were covered in pictures, the one that caught my eye was one of me. It looked like I was about twelve in that picture. I took it off the wall when something happened. I blacked out again. It was a little different this time. I wasn't in the same place I left, I was in the Hawkins High School. I saw El again, but this time she was by her locker. In her locker was of course textbooks for her classes and her gym uniform. There were also a few pictures in her locker. The one that caught my eye again was the one of me. It was the same one that was in my hand. El had a smile on her face as she grabbed a book from her locker before putting another one back. Her locker slammed shut without her touching it. She jumped up in surprise when she saw a familiar face. It was future Mike again.

"Hi." He said.

"My god Mike." El looked up at him with wide eyes still covering her face, "You scared the hell out of me."

"Sorry." He looked up at her before smiling, "So about last night."

"I know what you're going to say and…" El drifted off.

"No, you don't know what I'm going to say." Eleven looked up at him with hope, "What you said to me last night… I just… I got nervous and sort of… freaked out, I guess. But if I were to… go back in time," Mike smiled, "I would ask... when's our first date?" Both teens smiled wide at each other.

"El!" She turned around and saw a girl with long red hair and a tomboy look, running towards her.

"Hey Max!" She smiled. Oh that's Max. I thought.

They both went into the classroom and sat down. Max was smiling very big.

"What?" El asked.

"So you and Mike…?"

El rolled her eyes and looked back at the board when the bell rang. The bell must of knocked me out of my dream. I woke up on El's bed as I slowly sat up. I looked around and kicked at the bed at the same time. I stood up on the ground and put the picture back as I ran out the door and went back down stairs. I sat on the sofa and went back to watching the news.

"Hi!" I quickly turned around only to see the girl I saw yesterday.

"Aren't you supposed to be in school or something?" I asked her.

"Aren't you?" She shot back.

"Homeschooled." I said the first thing that came to mind.

"Either way there was a school bombing so no one's in school." She smiled before plopping down next to me.

"Your names Pemarie right?"

"And yours is Mike." She looked at me before saying, "What's the eighties like?" She asked.

"What?!... How… I… um. I don't know what you're talking about." I stuttered.

"I know very well that you know what I'm talking about. You can't lie to me." She smiled at me, "I'm the eyes and ears of this place."

"Oh okay then. Well, since you know everything what is my whole name?" I asked her with a mischievous smile.

"Michael Wheeler. That's all I know. I'm not really good with names." She frowned at me.

"Ok then. Um… When did me and your mom first meet?" I asked.

"November 7, 1983." She smiled.

"How is it possible for you to know that?" I turned to face her with my elbows on my knees.

"Like I told you. I. Know. Everything." She smiled at me.

"Yeah and I can time travel."

She laughed slightly and put her hand on my shoulder, "That`s something I can help you with."

"How?"

"Well I know a lot about this stuff. You know space and time, that stuff. Come with me." She ordered.
