AN: Back again with another chapter! Hooray!

Man, It's amazing how consistent I am with these updates. Like, seriously.

But anyways, here is the fourth chapter of this story! I also want to take a quick moment to say thank you all for your love and support with this story. The response my sucky writing is getting is absolutely inspiring and I just want to hug all of you. Really badly.

Anywho, let's move onto the chapter, shall we?

"Tadashi!"

Tadashi…

That's right. That's my name…

"Tadashi, you big oaf, get down here! We're going to be late!"

"Hiro, the day I'm late for your graduation is the day I jump into a pool of sharks."

"I'll call the aquarium, then."

Hiro…?

Graduation…?

I don't remember any of this…

"Very funny, knucklehead."

"I'm here all week."

When did this happen…?

"Come on!"

"I'm hurrying! Don't get your underwear in a twist!"

"Gross."

Hiro…

"Tadashi, you're so SLOW!"

"What did I just say?!"

"Nothing important."

Hiro…

Hiro.

HIRO.

HIRO!

Tadashi jolted awake, sitting up and twisting around as he violently coughed up what seemed to be buckets of water. Gulping down mouthfuls of air and coughing a few more times, the panicked man looked around, panting as he took in his surroundings.

He concluded that he was sitting in some sort of small garage. Computers and desks lined up along the walls, 3D printers sat off to the side and a small lounge area sat near the back of the room.

A strange feeling of nostalgia washed over him as his eyes rested on a small pile of microbot prototypes that sat alone on the closest desk to him.

A sudden feeling of disturbance pierced his heart as his gaze landed next on a portrait of him and Hiro that hung above the couch in the lounge area.

"This is…"

"This is where Hiro spends most of his alone time; always designing Battlebots and coming up with new ideas…" Tadashi's head whipped around to see three figures, plus a large metal-clad robot, standing near the entrance of the garage. The one talking, he noticed, was the small asian girl in the agility-based suit who was currently sitting on her knees right beside him. "At least, that's what he told me. Back before the fire…"

"The fire." Tadashi's eyebrows furrowed as he desperately tried to remember anything that could be of relevance. But, just like the last few times, he came up with absolutely nothing. "...Hiro lives here, then?"

"You both do," the one in the lizard suit chimed, earning himself a hard elbowing in the side from the man with the laser hands. "Ow! What was that for?!"

"You know what," replied Laser-Hands coolly before turning back to face the others. Tadashi frowned.

"I live here…?" He glanced at the girl sitting next to him. "With Hiro?" She looked away awkwardly, and when he looked at the rest of the group, they too turned away.

Tadashi grew angry.

How dare they keep secrets from me?!

"I asked you a question," he hissed lowly. His eyes narrowed and darkened with growing fury as his hands curled into fists. Tadashi then stood up and backed away from the others, suddenly feeling utterly trapped as he fired question after question at them. "Scratch that, then. Why the hell am I here?! How'd you guys find me?! What happened?! Did you get Hiro back from Callaghan?!"

The taller girl with the pink outfit suddenly stepped forward, a troubled expression lacing her features. "Wait… you mean Hiro didn't run off on his own?!"

"Callaghan has him?!" Yellow-suit exclaimed, her eyes widening as she too rose off of the ground. "He's alive?!" Tadashi blinked and turned to her with a suspicious expression.

"You know Master Callaghan?" he asked.

"Master Callaghan?!" Lizard gasped. Tadashi practically growled at them.

"Answer my questions and I'll answer yours," he snapped impatiently, causing the group to flinch back a bit. "Now, answer me. What the hell happened while I was unconscious…?!" Pink-suit stepped forward.

"We found you washed up on the shores of the island an hour after the fight between us," she explained in a soft voice. "You weren't conscious, you were soaking wet and you weren't even breathing. We managed to eventually get you breathing again, but you remained unconscious. So we took you back here." She then gestured to the shorter girl. "Gogo had to use CPR on you once more and that's when you woke up…"

To Tadashi's surprise, the robot spoke up next. "Your heart rate seems to be increasing steadily and your body temperature is rising," he told Tadashi. "You also appear to be shivering."

The other blinked and looked at himself to see that despite his angry facade, he was, in fact, shaking. Baymax continued nonetheless.

"This could possibly mean an oncoming cold, caused by the cold water." Tadashi shook his head, stepping further away from the people in front of him.

"I'm not sick," he hissed. "I can't be getting sick. Hiro needs me."

Lizardman grinned, excitement flashing through his eyes at Tadashi's word and almost immediately, he began to ramble. "Tadashi cares again! Oh, man, this is awesome! With him on our side, there is no way we'll fail in getting Hiro back!" He faced the burn victim in question. "It's so good to have you back, man! Just wait, it'll be just like old times-!"

"Who said I cared about any of you?"

His cold words made everyone freeze in their respective places.

Tadashi smirked, his darker side loving the expressions of distraught confusion on the others' faces. "Oh, no. No, I don't care for any of you at all. It's Hiro I care for. It's Hiro I want. It's Hiro I'll get."

Gogo stepped forward, glaring at him with absolute fury and even a hint of pain. "Even after we used our time to save your life, you don't care for us even a little?! We helped you! We made sure our friend didn't drown today!"

Completely ignoring the title put onto him, he looked straight at her and spoke. "That was your mistake to make," he jeered. "Not mine." Standing up taller, Tadashi gazed at the group with such ice that it caused them to recoil. "Now, if you're as smart as I assume you all are, you'll stay the hell out of my way and forget that Hiro ever existed." His eyes narrowed in the slightest. "Because I can assure you that when I get my boy back, I'm taking him as far away from everyone as I can. No one's ever going to hurt him again…"

"Tadashi-!" But with surprising speed, Tadashi bolted past them and out of sight.

Baymax blinked and looked at the group. "Tadashi is becoming sick. He can't be outside. He needs to rest." Gogo sighed, feeling more tired than angry.

"I know, buddy. But he's not going to settle down anytime soon…" Wasabi looked at Gogo, who the group had deemed as their temporary leader until Hiro was back with them.

"What do you suggest we do?" he asked, worry complementing his tone. "We can't just let him run off like that. Despite what he said, Tadashi is still our friend. We can't give up on him…" Fred spoke up.

"I suggest we go after him! Baymax could probably track him down, right, buddy?" He patted the robot's arm, who did nothing but blink awkwardly in response to Fred's words. Gogo looked back at him and the others.

"No…" she murmured. "No, we can't focus on Tadashi right now." Honey frowned.

"But-"

"'But' nothing," Gogo countered sharply. "If Callaghan has Hiro, and Tadashi's after him too, then the answer is simple."

"We just have to make sure we get to Hiro before Tadashi does."

Don't worry, Hiro. I'm coming.

Just hang in there…

Tadashi is on his way.
