Destiny

Hiro could barely keep his eyes open as he let out a long yawn. He felt a nudge on his side and looked up to see his brother laughing at him.

"Come on knucklehead. Can't sleep on the job now can you?"

"It's not my fault that we have to be here since 6 in the morning." Hiro argued back. He was okay with their current job. But sometimes he wondered why doing it. Like in this case. He didn't like waking up early in the mornings. Hiro was definitely a no morning person.

Tadashi simply smiled at his brothers face. Hiro continued with his tantrum.

"And all this trouble for what!? Spilling someones coffee? Seriously? Can't they think of something better to do?" Tadashi couldn't believe that Hiro was 14 already but he still looked like a child and behaved like one.

"I don't know bud. I just do what they tell me."

"Whatever." He stayed silent and still angry.

Tadashi ignored his brother and looked into his suit. He took out a small black leather book. Watching the lines carefully, he realized his time was coming.

"Come on, Hiro. It's time"

Hiro jumped excitedly from the bench they were sitting on the park.

"Why so happy all of a sudden?" Tadashi wondered.

"The sooner we are done with this, the sooner I can go to bed and do nothing."

"Unbelievable" Tadashi sighed and let out a chuckle. He started walking and crossed the street. Hiro right behind him while contemplating the new city.

Tadashi looked the pages on the notebook and stopped. Hiro bumped into him as he was looking somewhere else and just shrugged while smiling.

Tadashi analyzed the book's readings and then put it away while searching for his target. Blonde, green eyes, glasses. He scanned the crowd until his eyes fell on her. A beautiful young girl, with blonde hair, big green eyes and pink glasses.

Oh wow.

Honey Lemon was walking through the busy streets of San Fransokyo. She looked at her watch worriedly. She was going to make it on time. She wished she could have gotten to the office sooner. The day before she couldn't finish all the paperwork and it had be done as soon as possible. She took a sip of her coffee and checked her calendar on her phone.

She was taken away from her thoughts when someone bumped into her. The force and surprise made her drop her purse and phone and her coffee landed on her light yellow shirt.

"Oh I'm so sorry! Are you okay?" She was currently looking down trying to grab all her things.

"No it's ..." She looked up and took a glance on the man. He looked to be in his early 20s, with dark hair and dark chocolate eyes. He was wearing a black suit and tie and a nice looking fedora rested on his head. Honey realized she was staring and cleared her throat.

"Yes, yes I'm fine." He helped her up. "Thank you. I should better get going." She gave him a smile, waved and kept going her way.

Now she had to figure out a way to change her clothes. She could buy some new ones on her way? No they are way too expensive around this area. She grabbed a napkin and tried cleaning some of the coffee out her shirt.

"Miss! Watch out!"

Honey looked up and turned to her left. While she was looking down at the coffee stain, she had failed to see the speeding car making it's way towards her.

"And that baby bro is how you spill someone's coffee". As soon as Tadashi was done, he went where his brother was standing.

"Come on, we have to get back." They started heading back and Tadashi took a glance back. He smiled at the beautiful young girl, but the smile soon dropped when he saw the car heading towards her faster and faster. It wasn't going to stop on time. Tadashi ran towards her.

"Miss! Watch out!" He yelled at her but it was too late for her to stop. She seemed to be in shock at the sudden danger because she didn't move. She just stared at the car. He moved faster and snatched her just in time before the car got to her.

They both ended on the ground panting. The girl turned around and faced him, shock still evident on her face.

"You saved my life. Thank you." They both stood from the ground.

"Yeah well I was starin - uh I mean um - looking at you and saw the car." Tadashi scratched the back of his neck nervously. Staring. Seriously? Are you a creep now?

"Wow I just can't believe it. Thanks again."

"Hey don't mention it"

She extended her hand towards him. Tadashi looked at her hand and then her face.

"I'm Honey Lemon". He smiled and grabbed her hand while shaking it gently.

"Tadashi Hamada".

"Will I see you around Tadashi?"

"I um - I have some things pending -" She looked slightly disappointed. "But I'm sure I'll be around here". Honey's face brightened up. What are you thinking!? You can't just meet someone! Less alone one of them.

"See you around then" She nodded at him and kept walking her way. Tadashi looked, dumbfounded.

"Uh what just happen bro?."

Tadashi looked in the direction of the voice and saw his brother looking straight ahead where Honey walked off to.

"I'm not sure ..." He did know though. He had feelings for her. He didn't know her at all but he could already tell she was amazing. He was looking forward to meet her that second time.

"Umm Tadashi?" He turned around and faced Hiro. "Is this normal?" He pointed with his skinny fingers a section of the notebook. Tadashi took it and saw it. Suddenly, he became very angry. Hiro flinched away a little. When Tadashi got mad, then something really bad must have happened.

"Come on." He said while he started to walk, heading to the nearest door. "I need to speak to someone." He said in a stern voice. He grabbed the handle and turned it counter-clock wise.

The Hamada brothers entered a huge library. There were other people there, all dressed alike. Suit of different shades of black and grey with different types of hats. Tadashi made his way to the end of the room and kept walking until he reached the office he was looking for.

He knocks on the door and waits. A voice tells him to come in. He starts going with Hiro behind him. He stops Hiro from going any further.

"Just wait here okay? I'll be out in a few minutes."

"Oh, okay." Hiro sits in a chair in the corner and watches as Tadashi goes inside.

Tadashi enters the room, stomping lightly to make his presence known to the man sitting by his desktop. The man was old, all his hair gray.

"Was it Mr. Hamada?" He said still looking down at the papers on his hand.

"What is the meaning of THIS?" He said, throwing his notebook on the man's desktop. Callaghan sighed and looked up to meet his eyes filled with anger. He ignored his question, instead he asked a new one.

"Why didn't you do your job?"

"That's all you care now? I have a more important question, like for example, since when do we kill people huh?"

"That's not my business and you know it. As you are well aware, it was the Chairman's orders, not mine." He said as a matter-of-factly.

Tadashi angered even more at the mention of that name and clenched his fists.

"We have to keep our orders. I'll get someone else to finish your work. You are dismissed."

"No". Tadashi said; Callaghan looked up, surprised.

"Let me finish it. I started this mess, let me deal with it." Callaghan looked at Tadashi's reaction looking for some sign of deceive or lie. Finding none, he agreed.

"You'll take care of her in one week from now." Tadashi smiled inwardly. Great.

Hiro sat bored outside the office, swinging his legs back and forth. He had heard some commotion behind the closed door but couldn't make out any words from the conversation. Soon enough, Tadashi stepped out. His face still held some anger to it.

Hiro wanted to ask his brother so badly what had happened but when Tadashi had that face, he knew better than to ask. Tadashi went outside, Hiro following behind him.

"Soo, where are we going off to?"

"I have something to do right now" He said with his normal voice.

"Ok, where?" Hiro asked enthusiastically.

"Um, sorry but I must do this alone." Hiro was baffled. This was the first time that Tadashi did something by himself. They were always together. Tadashi made sure to make him feel important by taking him to every job he had to do and even teaching him the ups and down of their job.

Hiro said nothing. He just stared with wide eyes.

"Hey don't worry, I'll be back in no time ok?"

Hiro only nodded after a few seconds and watched as Tadashi opened a random door and disappears. He stared at the door long after his brother was gone.

After a few hours, Tadashi was back, with a bright smile on his face. Hiro had never seen him like that before and he wondered why. He also noticed that Tadashi had his mind on something completely different. Whenever Hiro asked him a question, he wasn't listening or he would answer almost a minute later.

Almost everyday Tadashi would leave for a few hours. The first two days were fun. Not having to follow all his brother's orders or getting nagged at for doing almost anything.

Tadashi would also ask for a favor and left his notebook to him so Hiro could pull out some of his work. They were pretty easy jobs and he did all of them. But then, Hiro was getting to get bored.

After 4 days, he had had it.

"Tadashi." His older brother was staring into space at the moment, a small smile on his face.

"TADASHI" Hiro screamed, catching the attention of not only his brother but also from some people nearby.

"Wha - what? What's wrong?"

"You are always like that now!" Tadashi frowned.

"What do you mean like that?"

"You never pay attention anymore. It's like your mind is somewhere else. Where do you go off to? Cause every time you come back you are more distracted than ever."

Tadashi looked at him with wide eyes. He hadn't expected for Hiro to notice. He sighed.

"Well, you deserve to know. Remember that girl from the other day? The one from the car crash?"

Hiro nodded.

"Well, um where should I start? Um I found out that the car crash accident wasn't ... really an accident. It was all planned." Hiro looked at him with wide eyes.

"I had to spill her coffee so she would miss sight of the car heading towards her. But before we left that day, I just did something that I shouldn't have done. I turned around."

"And why did you do that?." Hiro asked curiously. Tadashi simply shrugged.

"I don't know actually. I had this bad feeling inside of me. And it was also for a fact that Ihadacrushonjer." Tadashi mumbled quickly.

"You what?" Hiro leaned closed to hear better. Tadashi stayed quiet, not sure to find the words he was looking for. Hiro was about to ask again when he started talking.

"I like her." Hiro's eyes widened. Oh man.

"But you know tha-"

"That is against the rules. Yes I know." Tadashi rubbed the back of his neck.

"But it's just that - I want to be one of them. And I want to be with her. I always wanted to be part of them, not watch over them. The thing is, I can't exactly quit this job either, thanks to the Chairman." His voice deepened at the memory of the previews meetings.

"And all these days I was with her. I just wanted to spent every moment with her before... you know."

Hiro remained silent, taking it all in.

"Ok so what are you going to do about it?"

"Ok? You're not going to rat me out?"

"Why would I? You are my brother. I'll support you on this. It's your choice after all." Hiro gave his brother his cute tooth-gapped smile.

"Let me know if I got the plan straight. You are going to meet her but the rest of the adjustment will think that you went there to finish the job."

"Yes. Then I'll tell her my secret. Right then, they will know everything and try to restart me."

Hiro looked worriedly at his brother. They were risking too much by doing that. There had been rare cases of some agents been restarted. Very few actually. But it was never spoken of.

If the adjustment caught up with him, he would loose his brother forever.

"Are you sure you want to do this? I mean, what if they catch you?."

"I have to try. And if they do, well ... I won't remember anything and neither will she." Hiro only nodded. But I will.

"So, on with the plan. After that, we will run somewhere safe. Somewhere that's surrounded by water. And we will be moving from time to time. I know a place where there aren't many agents."

"And I'll do anything I can to lure them off."

"But remember to be careful"

"You are telling me to be careful? What a knucklehead" Hiro said jokingly.

Honey was sitting on the cafe where she always met with Tadashi the last week. She smiled. It had only been a week since their first encounter but she had already fallen for the guy. And their first kiss had been warm, passionate. She couldn't believe how well they had connected. It was as if they had known each other all their life.

She looked down at her watch. Where is he? He's never late. She heard a bell and looked up to see him entering through the door. He saw her and smiled. He went towards the table she sat at and pulled out a chair.

"Hey how have you been?" She asked sweetly.

"Good, good" He said while he glanced from side to side, as if looking for something.

"Hey, it's something wrong?"

"I have to tell you something important." He said in a serious voice. Honey looked at him worried. Is he going to leave me?

"But before I tell you, you must know that it is something really serious."

"What? Tadashi I don't understand."

"I have to show you something first."

He took her hand and they went outside, searching for the area for something.

"Tadashi what are you doing?"

He looked around searching for something. When his eyes landed on his brother, Tadashi gave him a nod. Hiro answered with a thumbs up. The plan was being set into motion.

"Do you trust me?" He said while extending his hand. She looked at him with worried eyes. Her hand inches away from his. After a moment of hesitation, she grabbed it.

He smiled and went towards a wooden door. He extended his hand and grabbed the handle.

"Tadashi what are you -" She couldn't finish her sentence as she went through the door. Her eyes grew bigger and bigger at the sight infront of her. They were now inside of a stadium.

"Tadashi what - what is going on!?" Her mind couldn't understand what was happening. They were on the other side of the city, at least a few hours away. And they got there in seconds.

"Honey listen to me" Tadashi said while holding her and looking at her eyes.

"There are bad people searching for us now that you know this secret. They will try to reset us"

"What? Reset?" Her brow furrowed.

"Yes. They will erase our memories and our whole personality will change. We have to move now"

Tadashi made a move to go forward when he felt his hand leaving hers. He turned around and watched her standing there with confusion and fear on her eyes.

"Honey please, we don't have much time."

"But I don't understand, why are they bad? Why do they want to do that to us?"

"Look, we kind of guide humanity into the right direction. There is a plan that we must follow, if not it would not end well for you. And the day that I met you ..." He sighed

"How should I say this ..."

"What? Just say it" She said sweetly.

"You were supposed the get hit by the car that day, but I stopped it before it happened."

"Wait, are you one of them?"

"Yes but I never wanted anything bad happening to you."

Honey was about to ask him something else when she was interrupted.

"Tadashi! You have to move! Keep going, I'll hold them off." Hiro yelled at them. Tadashi nodded and extended his hand for her to grab. She doubted but finally grabbed it. They ran to the next door and disappeared.

Hiro knew the paths Tadashi would be using. He went through several doors, locking them and even barricaded them as to slow the other agents. Hiro was running to the next door when he suddenly bumped into someone. He was about to apologize when the person grabbed his arm strongly and pulled him away. Hiro was about to protest when he saw who the person was.

"I know what you are doing Mr. Hamada."

Hiro tried pulling away but Callaghan's grip remained strong. The older man's hand reached a door and he opened it, shoving Hiro inside. He fell to the ground.

"And you won't interfere with our work anymore" Callaghan said angrily and he closed the door behind him.

Hiro stood up quickly and tried opening the door, only to come to a stop. The door wouldn't open. He then noticed that he had lost his hat in the process.

No no no no. Tadashi needs me!

He tried pushing the door with his tiny body, but it remained locked.

"Someone! Please let me out!"

He started banging on the door non-stop. After some minutes his hands hurt and desperation was getting a hold on him.

What had happened to his brother? Was he being reseted? No, he couldn't loose him. He was the only family he had, at least the only that cared about him.

Hiro slid down the wall and brought his knees up. His shoulder shook as he started crying. He had failed his brother. And worst of all, he didn't know how he was ever getting out of that room. By the looks of it, it sure was old and also abandoned. How much time would pass before someone finally found him?

Then, footsteps reached his ears. He looked up in time to see the door being opened. He felt relief wash over him and made his way to the door. But what he didn't expect was to see that person behind the door.

They ran and ran. Tadashi went door after door and noticed that the agents were gaining on them.

Where's Hiro?

As they kept moving he decided to take a different door, changing his tactics. They entered a building. He was about to reach a door when suddenly an agent came through it.

He turned around and noticed other agents on the opposite side. Without much of a choice, he went to the staircase. He went up and up until he reached the rooftop. He saw another door and made a run for it. Before he made it, agents came through that same door. He was going back to the same door he had come into but there were agents there too.

They tried running away but there were no more doors. No way of escaping. Tadashi looked at her eyes sadly knowing what was about to come. As their time together was running out, he made one final move. He took her hands.

"I love you" As soon as his words came out his lips had connected with hers. They shared a kiss for a few seconds until Honey dared open her eyes.

"Tadashi, look"

He opened his eyes and noticed all the agents gone.

"What happened?"

"You finally did it." A new voice filled the air. Both Tadashi and Honey turned quickly at the new voice. They both saw Hiro standing there with Callaghan beside him. He was currently looking at the leather black book that Hiro had given him.

Callaghan never said a word. He only looked up at Tadashi and gave him a deathly glare. Then he turned around and left through the same door he came.

"You changed the Chairman's mind" Hiro said smiling and putting his little book away.

Tadashi's eyes grew wide. What? Dad changed his mind?

As if reading his thoughts, Hiro answered him.

"Yup that's right. You get the chance to be her. Go"

Tadashi looks at her and they both laugh with relief. They share a tight hug. Tadashi had a big smile on his face. It fell though when he looked at Hiro.

"Hey don't worry about me. I'll be sure to come visit you". Hiro said reassuringly. Tadashi approached him and ruffled his hair one last time.

"I'll see you around knucklehead".

Honey approached him and she knelt down and gave him a hug.

"Thanks Hiro. For everything". Hiro returned the hug gladly. Then they both waved goodbye and left. Hiro smiled as he saw his brother finally achieving his dream.

End

Yeah, the ending was a little rushed but I think that the movie was too. But, could you guess which movie it was based on? :D

If you thought of "The Adjustment Bureau" then you were right!

Anyways, it was a little too short for me xD but for a one-shot it was kind of long, I'm not sure xD.

I already have other movies in mind for the chapters coming next so stay tunned.

And leave a review on your way out :) I'd like to know your thoughts on this type of crossover.

Thanks for reading!
