When you are presented with the opportunity to learn your past lives, you can't just say 'no', right?

Past life is something that defines your deepest self, your inner character, thing that stays the same no matter the body, time period, country or environment you grow up. And not everyone is able to be scanned for this, only few lucky individuals with strong 'life code' encrypted deep into the mind, which somehow stays untouched. This was discovered in late 80s during the 20th century, and as the description of the process, it's simply called 'reincarnation'. Many holes in history were filled thanks to people who remembered themselves in different eras and events.

Hiro Hamada was one of these lucky ones. Strong 'life code' was noticed the minute he was born and his parents were alerted. The paperwork was filled, doctors informed, scientists and organizations. His name was added to the universal list with other chosen ones, and the minute he gives his approval, his code will be scanned and the young genius will have knowledge of his past lives, which will help the current personality to develop and learn from his previous mistakes, as well as duty to answer some questions from the past.

However, Hiro never wanted to know that. He was perfectly happy with knowing who he was now, and he had enough sadness in his current past without a burden of the previous memories. He had a pretty good idea he was some famous scientist, maybe Einstein or Marie Curie even, Hellen Keller or Newton. Someone really intelligent because that is obviously his most defined quality. Hiro decided that he will never learn about who he was when he was about 10 years old, when he read an article about the man who was in the past life a dictator who put entire country to shame for the next century and he was never forgiven for that, he was even banned from the said country for all eternity, in all of his lives.

What if Hiro was someone evil before? Someone who did something bad and who would be hated for the eternity as well? His aunt Cass would be ashamed, his friends could hate him, and his dead family...

No, no, no. Hiro Hamada shall never get his past lives acknowledged. He had a bright future and he will not gamble with it. Tadashi never liked when he gambled with anything. This is what Tadashi would want too.

But of course, the moment this info leaked among his pals...

It all started with Baymax and his daily scan of his favorite patient, which was conveniently in the time when the group was hanging out in Hiro's workshop. The boy was so used on his scans that he didn't even blink, but when the robot spoke

''Your 'life code' is still not scanned, Hiro. Shall I call the competent staff in order to do the process?''

Aaaand all hell broke loose.

For the next hour, all of Hiro's friends were choking him with questions, demands, weeping and nagging why the hell he never did the life scan when he is clearly one of the luckiest people on the planet.

''I don't want to know, I-I really don't! Look guys, I know what you think, but past is not something I'm so interested in, I am doing great so f-''

''Dude you have, like, the ability to know how awesome you were back in the Stone Age! Like, I would anything to know what I was... Maybe a brave knight who was slaying dragons and Viking with the two headed dragon-''

''Shut the hell up, Fred!'', Gogo retorted, before getting into Hiro's face.

''Look here pal, I don't care what's your reason, but what you have here, inside that big brain of yours, is something that all of people in this shitty world want and you are just taking it for granted! Woman up and go to the damn scan!''

''But I-''

''Hiro, pleeeease! Just imagine all the great minds you could have been! How can you not be interested into something like that?!'', Honey was jumping around him.

''Guys-''

''The system, man! You have it, system knows it, this isn't a bad thing!''

''And all of the periods of time you were witness of! How can you NOT want it?!''

''By the increasing level of the state known as 'anxiety' in your neurological system, Hiro is now under lighter case of stress. I recommend a-''

''ENOUGH!''

''-quiet and peaceful surroundings for the next hour to relieve your mood.'', robot finished.

The outburst of the young genius was followed by a tensed silence. The guys knew they had no right to force him, but something like this is huge thing to waste and not really acceptable in their eyes. Knowledge of your past lives, the knowledge of ultimate truth, something every scientist wanted! Every human wanted. And Hiro here...

''Sorry, sorry... I shouldn't have... But look, I was thinking a lot about this and I really am not interested to know who or what I was. Really, I... I was never much of a history guy, and frankly... I am aware what I have, but even Tadashi agreed with my decision. I don't want to know, guys. I-I am happy like this. Past is not something to dwell so deeply into.''

After that they stopped, but that never meant they gave up. Every so and they would lay a gentle, not-so-spontaneous hint to him, even coaxing his aunt to do so, but he either didn't notice it, or chosen to ignore them.

Hiro knew it had gone serious when even a Baymax asked him why.

''You are refusing to scan your 'life code', Hiro.''

''You too, Baymax? Unbelievable.''

''Will this scan cause you distress?''

Hiro heavily inhaled and exhaled on that, falling on his bed and covering his eyes while his health companion patiently waited.

''I... I don't know. Maybe?''

The health companion simply titled his head, the motion pursuing Hiro to keep talking.

''Look, I know what they do there to the 'lucky ones': they go waaaay down into their subconscious, and make them remember all the life problems they had from the beginning of their existence and things they did, didn't do and people they were connected with and... They are forever judged by what they were. What if I was someone bad or evil or inventor of spandex?!''

Baymax was observing him silently for a few more minutes.

''Your stress is raising again, Hiro. Stress can influence your decisions and be very bad for a person's health, such as causing an eating disorder-''

I am an idiot for even thinking a health robot can understand something like this...

''Baymax, it's ok, it's ok! I will... think more about this, ok? Stress is dropping, see? Now... I am satisfied with the given care.'', Hiro said, on which robot directed himself towards his charger and shut down.

Hiro sighed and by his already established tradition, approached Tadashi's framed photo in his part of the room. Genius gently caressed the picture, wishing by uncountable time he was here to set him on the right way.

What would Tadashi say to him on this subject? When he told him the first time his decision, Aunt Cass was protesting, but Tadashi said, without any argument, that it was purely Hiro's decision and he supports it.

Look from another angle.

What is another angle for this? He would find out what he was, who he was and the things he did in different time areas and in different circumstances. Maybe he would even be someone famous... But it's not like he wasn't already.

Hiro put the photo back on his night stand and dropped on his bed. His mind was set. He will not, under any circumstances, get his LC scanned. He is Hiro Hamada, and no one else.

The classes on his institute were interesting, but just as easy as any class for the 14 year old genius. His favorite one is the project time, though. He loved the free unlimited time he would get and resources he was granted with, he loved the people surrounding him and the fun times they had while making the projects that could someday be the world's next big thing.

Hiro today worked on the project he didn't even name yet, but it will be awesome. The medium sized robo-skeleton was getting surrounded by the new amount of wires and microchips with blinking attachments, as the concept art of the soon-to-be creation decorated the wall.

His aunt Cass was complaining about the bakery/coffee shop, how she needed some help. When they were younger, Hiro and Tadashi were on the case, but due to the circumstances, she was on her own. Plus, saving the money was always a treat so Hiro was busy with creating the perfect help for his aunt, the idea based on none other than Baymax. With the smaller proportions, of course. Baymax's stomach would demolish half the shop.

The robot Hiro was having in mind would probably need to be someone pleasant to the eye, and with the very fast processor that could understand and serve a big number of customers in the record time, yet interesting enough to attract customers. Of course, some downloading of the cooking skills would be beneficial and above all else, a long lasting battery. And just in case of the new 'Callaghan' episode, the robot should only be able to take orders outside of coffee or cake from either Hiro or Aunt Cass. Voice lock was still to be made.

After a few more minutes, Honey came in and told him they are closing up, it was late. Hiro made a notice where he stopped and covered the skeleton, exiting the room, hall and then the institute surrounded with his friends.

If there were only minute later there, they would be greeted by a figure who run towards the door and entering quickly inside, stealthy like a cat and clothed in black like the night. Pressing to the walls, hiding in the darker corners, gluing to the metallic pipes on the ceiling with the blue-glowing gloves, the imposter avoided the guards and cameras, as if knowing where what was. The figure quickly managed to find Hiro's (former Tadashi's) office, and unlocked it with no problem. The figure lowered the big hood masking its face and approached the shelves, carefully examining everything on them, stopping shortly on the hammers and drawings, even touching them fondly, almost nostalgically.

The figure left the wall and approached the framed picture of the Hamada brothers on the metallic table in the corner, where the cap was hanging onto. The figure took the photo and looked deeply into it. The fingers covered older brother and left Hiro, causing the intruder to smile.
