Chapter:

Hiro met Kathy for lunch one day, she had sent him a text asking for a meetup. When Hiro got there Kathy waved him over and he sat down with her. He looked at her phone that already had a written message on it, I was wondering if you wanted to start learning sign language? Hiro looked back up at Kathy who was wiggling around, looking excited. Hiro held back a smile then typed back to her, Do you want to teach me? When Kathy nodded enthusiastically, Hiro typed, Want to start now? Thus his lessons began.

Hiro learned the alphabet, greetings, and how to say his name in ASL. He was very attentive to his teacher and made sure to learn all he could. When his lunch break was over he gave her a hug and waved, signing, Thank you. Kathy smiled and nodded, acknowledging his thanks. Hiro gave her a giant smile then ran off to his next class. The interpreter came over to Kathy and signed, Am I needed now? Kathy nodded in reply and then started towards her next class.

Meanwhile...

Aunt Cas had gotten the call about Tadashi. She had sat down hard on a chair at the cafe, "What? I can't come right now...um...Wait, wait...Maybe...I will see if I can get there." She quickly dialed Wasabi, "Wasabi, an emergency came up. Can you come take care of the bakery? Thank you!" She got ready to go and when Wasabi showed up she gave him a big hug, "I'll pay you for your trouble. Thank you! You're the best!" Wasabi just nodded in response and then shooed Aunt Cas out the door before she thought to make him a list. She'd do that sometimes, it could be annoying.

Aunt Cas drove to the free clinic and walked in, identifying herself. Doctor Nat came out to greet Cas first, "Cassandra? Tadashi said you prefer Cas? How are you today? When you see Tadashi I don't want you to be alarmed. Don't do anything too emotional either, please. And whatever you do, do not satisfy his curiosity with a mirror." Aunt Cas took a pause for a moment if the lady didn't want Tadashi to see himself in the mirror, that meant he looked pretty bad.

Aunt Cas hugged the doctor, "I'm okay, frankly, I'm shocked," She wiped her eyes, the tears sitting on her cheeks, slowly running down, "I'm just so happy that he is alive. I'll try and pull it together and I promise I won't show him a mirror." Cas freed the doctor and then followed her to Tadashi's room. She held it together, "Tadashi?" She tried not to look horrified, most of his bandages were off and his scars were horrifying. But he still had the gentle smile and twinkling eyes that she knew so well. There was a sadness in them, but that was to be expected.

"I caught on fire but I came back like a Phoenix," Tadashi joked, his voice rasping. He laughed which ended in him coughing again, a grating noise that caused Cas pain.

Cas laugh/sobbed and went forward, touching his hair softly, "Did you know you were missing some hair?" She sat down gently on the bed next to him, "Wait until Hiro finds out. You'll be so proud of him, he went to college anyway. He is in the robotics program and he's made a new friend. She's Deaf and wants to be a doctor, she is thirteen." Cas got some candy out of her purse and placed it on the table next to him, "When you're allowed, I want you to eat these."

Tadashi gave her a smile and nodded in response, "I did know that, I reached up and felt it one day. The nurse was afraid I was going to have a heart attack, probably because I didn't react for a minute. Really?" Tadashi teared up, "I am proud of him. He's such a good little nerd, I'm so happy he started college," Tadashi looked a the candy and tried to hold back a smile, "Yes ma'am."

Cas smiled at her nephew and then rubbed her hands together, "I'll get Hiro tonight and bring him here tomorrow morning. I will prepare him," She tilted her head, "Which of your friends would you like to see first? Wasabi is watching the bakery for me while I do these things, so you will probably have to see him last." She watched as Tadashi thought about it.

"Gogo would handle it best, so I think she should be first," Tadashi replied softly. He knew Honey Lemon would freak out, Fred would probably...who knows what Fred would do. Wasabi would be wearing all the doctor equiptment as to not "germify" Tadashi. Then Baymax would try and fix him, so he figured it would be best if he tried to see Baymax when he was better, "I will see Baymax when I am well, do not bring him here."

Aunt Cas nodded and sent a text to Gogo, Can you come over to the bakery tomorrow night? I want to show you someone, but you need to promise not to tell anyone. She knew Gogo wouldn't tell if she told her not to, which meant that it was a safe bet. Aunt Cas rubbed her hands on her legs and then stood up, "I should get going. I need to relieve Wasabi so he doesn't need to be worried about the cutomers. I forgot to leave him a list, so who knows what's happened to him."
