We were at Will's house.

Dustin, Mike, El, Lucas, Hopper, Joyce, Jonathan, Nancy and I.

"So basically, we're like the acrobat, and Will, the monster and Barbara are the flea. The Upside Down is where Will is hiding, and the only way to get through is a rip in time and space." Mike explained to Joyce, hopper, Nancy and Jonathan.

"A doorway." Lucas said metaphorically.

"We tracked it to Hawkins lab, with our compasses." I added.

Joyce, hopper, Nancy and Jonathan stared at me, confused.

"So basically, the gate has a really strong electromagnetic field, and that can change the direction of a compass needle." Dustin elaborated.

"Is this gate under ground?" Hopper asked.

"Yes." El said quietly.

"Is it near a large water tank?" Hopper asked.

"Yes." El replied quietly.

"How does he know?" I asked.

"He's seen it." Mike replied for Hopper.

"Is... is there any way that you could- that you could reach Will? That you could talk to him in this-" Joyce started.

"Upside Down." El said, cutting Joyce off.

"Right." Joyce said.

El nodded.

"And my friend Barbara? Could you find her too?" Nancy asked.

Nancy slid a photo of Barb to El.

El closed her eyes and held the radio.

Everyone was silent for a couple of minutes.

Then Eleven opened her eyes, and she looked sad.

"I'm sorry." She said quietly.

"What happened? What's wrong?" Joyce asked the girl.

"I can't find them." El said.

El stood up and walked to the bathroom.

"Is she okay?" Hopper asked.

"When she uses her powers too much she gets tired." Mike explained.

"Kind of like a bad battery." Lucas added.

"You should have seen the van she flipped with her mind! It was mental." Dustin exclaimed.

"Yeah, but she was super drained after." I added.

"Well... how do we make her better?" Jonathan asked.

"We can't." I shrugged.

"We just have to wait." Mike said.

"The bath." El said softly from behind me.

I jumped.

"Jesus." I said to myself quietly.

"What?" I asked her softly.

"I can find them in the bath." She explained.

"I don't understand." Joyce said.

"She's talking about a sensory deprivation tank. I don't know how to build one, though." I sighed.

"I know someone who might." Dustin said.

Mr. Clarke.
