Prologue.
Tadashi's POV.
"Professor Callaghan!" Tadashi called through the roaring flames, looking around desperately for the teacher. His younger brother had just got into San Fransokyo Institute of Technology, but then a flash fire breaks out, and his favorite teacher, Professor Robert Callaghan, was still inside. Hiro protested greatly, knowing the possible consequences, but Tadashi only replied:
"Callaghan's in there. Someone has to help!"
And with that, he rushed in, leaving his brother, and even his lucky cap behind.
Tadashi coughed as some of the smoke got in his mouth, and covered it more with his arm, as he looked around quickly, hoping to find his teacher.
"Professor!?"
Then he heard a creak above him, and looked up just in time to see a large metal beam coming his way. He made to dodge.
But he moved to late.
He let out a loud cry of pain as he was forced onto his stomach as he legs were now pinned to the floor. Tadashi struggled to roll over, and when he did, he tried pushing the beam off, but his strength was seeping, as well as his consciousness, and the beam was too heavy.
After a bit more struggling, his upper body gave way, and he collapsed on the ground, exhausted. He fought with all he got to stay awake, even saying it to himself to stay awake, but it was proving useless.
As his vision went from shapes to shadows, he saw a shadowy figure look at him, before shaking his head and walking away, a whole hoard of black... nothingness in the shape of a wave following him out the back entrance of the building.
And then, he blacked out.
Hiro's POV.
Hiro looked on with frightened eyes, clutching Tadashi's lucky cap tightly, as the San Fransokyian firemen put the fire out, and search the building for any others. Any survivors. For Tadashi and Callaghan.
What was his brother thinking?! Sure he was selfless, but he wasn't stupid! He might die in there!
All Hiro could do was watch with his Aunt Cass, and his new friends, GoGo Tomago, Honey Lemon, Wasabi and Fred, who all wore the same worried expressions.
All they could do was hope.
Back with Tadashi.
Tadashi laid there, unconscious and unmoving, the beam still laying on his legs. The fire that once roared around him has died down, mostly now just little flickers and campfires, that were now easily put out.
Just then, four firemen came around a corner, and spotted him. One of them got out the fire extinguisher, while the other four got to work on removing the beam. Two lifted up the beam, while the last one grabbed him under the arms and pulled him away, out of the beams falling area. They let it drop, as the Puller tried to rouse the young man awake.
"Sir?! Are you alright?! Can you hear me?!" Tadashi groaned, giving the man enough assurance.
"He's still alive, but needs medical attention! Let get him outta here!" two other men gather around him and helped him lift him up, one had his arms wrapped around his legs, while the other two held him by the arms. The other two went off somewhere, to put out the rest of the fire before it hit anything explosive and continue the search for Callaghan.
They ran as careful as they could towards the front doors and then down the stairs, towards an Ambulance Stretcher, before placing him on as gently as possible before rolling him towards the Hospital Van. Hiro saw his brother, and made a mad dash towards him, his friends and Aunt following.
"That's my brother! MOVE!" he made it, and walked by his brother's side, as he moaned and slowly opened his eyes. He could see his brother and aunt's worried eyes staring down at him, but that was all, along with hearing echoing words that were giving him a headache.
"Is he gonna be okay?!" he heard Hiro cry out, his voice sending his ears ringing.
"Young man, we'll do the best we can." he felt himself being lifted up, before set down again.
He blacked out for the second time that day.
The Next Morning.
Tadashi groaned as he opened his eyes, only to be blinding immediately by the whiteness of the room he was in.
After some looking around, he realized that he was at the hospital, and Hiro was right beside him, his head pressed into the covers, but that didn't hide his whimpers, or his tear-stained cheeks. Then he woke up with a start, obviously from a nightmare, and then saw Tadashi looking at him.
"Tadashi!" he leaped onto him and wrapped his arms around his neck, making him groan in pain. Hiro immediately jumped away, afraid that he hurt him. "Sorry, sorry!" he rapid-fired, sounding incredibly stressed. But Tadashi's mind was in a blank.
"What happened?" he asked, but Hiro seemed hesitant to speak. Just them, the doctor walked in, a clipboard in his hand.
"Ah, Mr. Hamada! Good to see you awake. You gave both your little brother here, your aunt, and your friends quite a scare." he smiled.
"Ya think?" came Hiro's sarcastic remark, but there was truth behind it. A very sad truth.
The doctor smiled sadly, before turning back to Tadashi, who was beginning to understand things he somehow didn't notice before. His right arm and half of his chest was covered with bandages, and he couldn't feel his legs. Why couldn't he? Were they just numb? Or was he still sleepy?
"Well, you seem to be in good shape. Then again, there is your, uh, condition." Tadashi froze. He remembered. The fire. Callaghan. The support beam.
"What condition?"
Five Days Later.
After being released from the hospital, Tadashi now found himself in a wheelchair. He stared down at his now none-usable legs. The doctor told him that his legs got crushed under the beam, and now, he had to spend all of his time in a wheelchair. Normally, Tadashi would be upset for a few days with this kind of thing before shaking it off. But it was more then his leg paralysis. It was the fact that he couldn't save Callaghan, and it made him feel like he failed. Of course, the police didn't find he body, but that didn't mean he wasn't gone. Tadashi felt like the Gods did this on purpose. Like they were saying 'trying to save someone with no chance? well this is what you get'.
It hurt the eighteen year old that he couldn't do the things he always dreamed of doing when he could use two legs. Helping people, playing baseball with his brother, learning karate, and all sorts of things.
But now that could never happen. All he could do now was read, write, play video games, watch T.V, and keep on inventing.
But Aunt Cass, and Hiro were getting worried. He had stopped talking to everyone, Aunt Cass, his friends, even his little baby brother. The doctor had told Cass privately that he might suffer depression and not speak to anyone, but will return to normal soon once he gets used to his predicament.
But he still hadn't spoken. He would either sit in his room to read, or work in his lab without a word of greeting to anyone. He even rejected his lucky cap when Hiro tried to give it to him.
He just wanted to be left alone.
Fortunately, things won't go his way.
I've been thinking about this for a while, and I'm already working on a few sequels. Also, who else didn't want Tadashi to die? I mean, come on! That was below the belt for Disney!
