A/N: Another chapter! Just to clarify, in this story GoGo was 16 during the events of Big Hero 6. She is now 17 and Hiro is 15. Hope you guys enjoy!
"Baymax! Get in here, Hiro's waking up!" That was a familiar voice, and a welcomed one at that. GoGo was at his bedside. She seemed to be in an okay condition despite having a building collapse on her. Baymax waddled into the room and made his way to Hiro.
"Hiro, you have awakened. On a scale of 1 to 10, how would you rate your pain?" Baymax said, and Hiro laughed lightly.
Hiro looked down at himself and saw that he was shirtless, bandages covering his stomach and part of his chest. Thankfully, no one had changed him out of his suit's pants. Hiro looked back up at Baymax, "I'd give it a five, buddy. No pain meds needed."
Hiro propped himself up on the bed. He winced at the pain of the movement. GoGo looked at him disapprovingly. Hiro gave her a small smile and then turned his head towards the door. The others were flooding into the room and were quickly at his bedside.
Wasabi looked at Hiro's bandages, "Are you sure you should be sitting up? I'm not a doctor but you haven't really had that much time to heal."
"Speaking of which, how long was I out?" Hiro asked.
"Just under two days, Hiro," Honey Lemon answered, "Any longer and we were going to bring you to the hospital, regardless of the consequences."
Hiro found himself laughing slightly, "Good to know you guys care. Don't know how I'd react if I woke up and it had been two days. Probably wouldn't have spoken to you guys ever again."
GoGo hit him lightly on the arm, "Don't go joking about that. Both of us were hurt, and I mean badly," She paused, "You just seemed to pull the short stick."
"Speaking of which," Hiro spoke before anyone else could, "How are you feeling, GoGo?"
She was clearly surprised, but she gathered herself quickly, "I feel better than you look," She quipped, "Pretty sure that cut on your face is going to leave a nice scar."
The injured prodigy pressed a finger to the deep cut on his chin, and Fred stepped in, "Don't worry, chicks dig scars. This is a blessing in disguise, you'll see."
GoGo scowled at Fred and Hiro leaned back against the headboard. Hiro yawned and stretched out, "Can we continue this sometime later? I'm still kinda tired."
The others agreed and left, and as Baymax turned to go Hiro spoke, "Hey, can I get some pain killers? The pain is actually around an eight."
"Hiro, you said that you did not need them. If I give you medication that you do not need-" Baymax began.
Hiro sighed, "I know what I said, but I can't have people worrying about me more than they already do. You won't tell them, right?"
"They have not been informed of the less obvious injuries, though they didn't ask," That hurt Hiro more than he cared to say, "Do you want to know of your injuries?"
He looked down at his chest again, "an you keep it short and to the point? I wasn't lying about being tired."
Baymax scanned him once more, "The piece of rebar avoided major organs largely, but it hit the iliac artery. This was the most life threatening injury. Your right wrist has some minor damage, although nothing was broken or sprained. Their is a ruptured blood vessel in your eye. You have multiple small and large cuts on your upper body and one on your face, nothing dangerous."
"So with some rest I'll be fine?" Hiro joked.
Baymax took it literally, "You should be back on your feet within the week. Next week you might be able to return to crime fighting, with some caution."
"Good, we need to find the guys who hurt GoGo and me," Baymax took note that Hiro had put GoGo first, "And we need to find them soon."
The next day Hiro awoke to an empty room. He put a hand against his bandages and pulled himself to a sitting position. He waited to see if anyone was going to come in but soon grew restless. Grabbing the desk next to the bed, Hiro stood on shaky legs. He made his way to the door and opened it. Quickly noticing where he was, he made his way down the halls of Fred's mansion. When he arrived at Fred's room, he put his ear against the door.
Hiro recognized the voices of his team so he pushed the door open. His friends looked towards him, as he stumbled and fell to the floor. Honey and GoGo were the first at his side, "I leave you alone for five minutes," He heard the speedster whisper.
When he was back on his feet the two sat him down on the couch, "What were you thinking, you've been awake for less than a day. You shouldn't even be sitting up, I don't even know how you made it this far in your state," Wasabi said to him, exasperated.
"Gotta woman up," Hiro smirked at his own remark and nudged GoGo, who had put herself next to him. She smiled slightly but hid it with a scowl.
Wasabi put his hands in his face, "Do we have to put armed guards at your bedside?"
"Biometrics on the door should do," He said.
Fred laughed, "Shouldn't be hard to do. I'll get Heathcliff to call someone."
The smile left Hiro's face, "You're joking, right?"
"Hiro, it's better for your recovery if you stay in bed for a few days. You just showed that you can walk, so I think we can compromise," Honey Lemon said, "Would a few short walks be acceptable?"
He snorted, "I can't stay cooped up like that while those guys are still out there. At least let me relax in here for a few hours a day. Help plan our next move. That guy said something I can't get out of my mind, and then he..." Hiro self consciously moved his hand to his stomach, now suddenly aware that everyone could see his bandages.
"We know, Hiro," Honey Lemon said, "I guess we can bring you down here, but we haven't really thought about our next move We've been a little distracted."
Fred turned up the TV in response, and Hiro looked at the news banner. It read: Investigation into building explosion continues, superhero team Big Hero 6 seen at scene of crime.
"They're blaming us for this?" Hiro questioned. The anger he felt that night resurfacing, "They're blaming the people who'd sacrifice everything for this city?"
GoGo put a hand on his shoulder, calming his anger slightly, "Hiro, they only know that we were at the scene. They are assuming that we had something to do with it, which we did. We can't deny that," Hiro curled his fingers into a fist, which GoGo noticed, "They don't know how we were involved, or even that we were hurt. If they did, they wouldn't be saying that. We can't let that get to us."
Hiro was a little surprised that GoGo was speaking so much, but it was a pleasant surprise. GoGo smirked, "So what I'm trying to say is, you do have to woman up."
A/N: I didn't want to have Hiro be injured too severely. I was kinda going for a Rodrik Forrester (Shout out to any GoT fans) thing with the walk to Fred's room, originally. But I couldn't think of any reason a cane like object would be in his recovery room, so I scrapped that.
