Tadashi had been going in and out of consciousness, he only really remembered an ambulance medic asking what his name was and with a bit of struggle he answered "Tadashi Hamada." He coughed as he spoke, it felt as if someone was sitting on his chest he couldn't get enough air into his lungs. An oxygen mask was place over his nose and mouth before he passed out once more.
When Tadashi awoke again, the afternoon sun seeped into his hospital room, the gentle sound of a heart rate monitor sounded to his left in rhythm. He felt greatly stiff as he began to sit up. After finally sitting up he took a deep breath from the oxygen mask. He noticed the TV muted in the corner, with the demolished remains of Krei Industries. He looked around until he finally found the remote of top of the side table, quickly retrieving it, he turned up the volume.
"The clean-up from the incident at Krei Industries earlier this week is still underway. The villain known as Yokai has now been identified as Robert Callaghan, the once great Robotics expert, creator of Callaghan's laws of Robotics is now being charged with multiple counts of assault, as well he has also admitted to two counts manslaughter and two counts of kidnapping. Both victims, Abigail Callaghan and Tadashi Hamada have been taken to San Fransokyo Memorial for treatment, there has been no news on Mr. Hamada but Ms. Callaghan has regained consciousness and has apologized for her father. But the real story is about the team known only as Big Hero, who once again vanished before they could be interviewed but eyewitnesses say the team seems to have taken on a new member, who is the new kid? What can he contribute to the team and what do people think of there being a child on being a hero?"
"Hey." The voice from the door made Tadashi jump. Standing in the doorway was his baby brother. He began to remove the oxygen mask, when Hiro jumped up onto the bed and stopped him.
"Keep it on, Nerd. The doctor has to give the okay first." As he readjusted his brother's mask, Tadashi pulled him into a hug. Hiro quickly returned the embrace and the two sat in a peaceful silence. The two held one another for about ten minutes though it felt much shorter.
"So how long have I been..." He was unsure how to describe what he had been in, it was too deep to have been just sleeping but it felt too light to have been a coma.
"You've been out for about three days. Doc said your body entered a sort of hibernation. Your body sort of shut itself down enough to survive the other side. They've been so worried that you weren't taking in enough oxygen that they've been pretty much pumping oxygen into you." Well that explain the oxygen mask. Three days that was a long time to be out.
"So, how did Aunt Cass take it?"
"Well, she hasn't eaten everything in the cafe yet..." Tadashi laughed at that.
The two talked a good while longer until the nurse came, the doctor was called and Hiro was scolded for not letting them know the moment he woke up. He wasn't really listening to her as she explained why it was important to notify them, they had been asked to leave the room while the doctor was checking him over. What if something was seriously wrong?
o-o o-o o-o
"Hello, Tadashi."
"Hey, Doctor Juror." Tadashi sighed. Doctor Juror was the doctor everyone on the team went to, he had once been Fred's family's private doctor but was more than willing to take on the team. He began taking Tadashi's vitals.
"You really scared us, Mr. Hamada. You're lucky you weren't on that side too long, the amount of oxygen you were getting was worrisome, if it had been a little less, there could have been serious damage to your brain. I want you to take it easy for the next few weeks and I'm going to prescribe you an inhaler." Noticing the look of terror on Tadashi's face, he rolled his eyes and continued. "Don't worry it's not permanent. I want you to come in regularly every two weeks for the next 3 months. By then you should be just fine. Until then though you are not allowed to do anything overly taxing." Tadashi gave a nod that he understood.
He'd be out of battle for the next few months that would bug him, not that he couldn't still help the team from their HeadQuarters but it was always a good idea to have someone who could call commands right there. He was pulled from his train of thought when Dr. Juror began to talk again.
"If you don't mind my asking but is your brother..." He ran his hand down his face as if he were pulling down a helmet, it was his symbol for the team, Tadashi gave a nod understanding what the man had been trying to get at.
"Yea, that was Hiro." He look towards the door and saw Hiro looking down at his feet. "Do you mind if I talk to him?"
"Of course not, everyone is downstairs though so I can't guarantee long." He left the room and let Hiro know he could come back in. As he entered, he close the door behind him. Tadashi could see something was bothering him, he waited until Hiro had gotten comfy on the bed again before he asked.
"Hiro, what's wrong?" The boy looked up to him surprised, before looking down at his lap. His eyes began to water.
"Tadashi, I'm sorry. Baymax...when we were on the other side... he...we only made it back because he sacrificed himself...I'm sorry I...I couldn't.." Tadashi pulled him close.
"Hiro, listen to me, Baymax did what he was meant to do. He protected us, and I am so thankful for him." He heard Hiro hiccup. "But you know what?" Hiro looked up to him. "We can rebuild him." Hiro's eyes began to water once again has he buried his face into his brother's robe.
"It won't be the same."
"I know buddy..I know." The two sat in a silence in silence till Hiro calmed down.
"Hamada!" Uh oh, thought by both the Hamada brothers. Turning to the doorway there stood in all 5"4 glory stood GoGo blocking the doorway for the others.
"Gogo.." gulped Tadashi. She slowly walked over to the two.
"Any outward injuries?" She asked sounding concerned. He shook his head what he didn't see coming was sharp punch to his right shoulder.
"OW!"
"That's what you get for scaring the crap out of me!" He rubbed the large bruise that was surely forming on his arm as he began to stutter his apology.
"Umm...I...I'm sor-" He was cut off by the fastest member's lips pressed against his own. Her lips like always tasted of the sea salt air that clung to her lips as she sped everywhere but to him it couldn't be more welcoming. It ended to quickly as she removed her lips and wrapped her arms around his neck.
"And that was for coming back to us alive." He wrapped his own arms around her, breathing in her wind blown hair. It was almost perfect...almost."
"Ok, do you two really need to do this right here?!" Whipping around the two saw Hiro covering his eyes and the rest of the team laughing at him. It was easy to see that Hiro had quickly found his place in the team...
o-o o-o o-o
A couple days had went by and Tadashi was released finally deciding Hiro should visit the school on better terms the two found themselves. When they entered Tadashi found a large box on his table.
"Everyone thought you should have it." Hiro smiled. Upon opening the box, Tadashi found a large fist. He knew it was what had saved their lives. He ran a hand across the metallic surface. Finally picking it up out of the box, he looked around and nodded to a spot.
"Clear that spot for me would you Hiro?" His brother quickly moved the books and tools from the spot before his brother put the armour. The two of them looked at it a moment before Hiro noticed something.
"Wait a sec?" He pulled the fingers away, to reveal a small green chip with Tadashi's name on it. "What is this?" Hiro asked. Tadashi let out an excited gasp.
"That, Hiro that's my medic chip that's is what made Baymax...Baymax. Hiro...now we can still have our Baymax, we just need to give him a new body." He looked to his younger brother, the excited gleam in his eyes, that had once reflected in his eyes the first time Baymax worked. Hiro quickly looked back.
"I can help you with him?!" Tadashi laughed.
"I couldn't think of a better assistant." Messing his hair. His brother looked at him insulted and elbowed him.
"Assistant?!"
"Haha alright, alright partner!"
The two began working side by side, sifting through boxes looking for plans to Baymax's huggable non-threatening shape.
"Hey, what kind of battery did you have him on?" Hiro asked as he pulled out a file.
"Lithium Ion."
"You know, supercapacitors would charge faster."
"huh...so what do you think of the team?"
"I like them, they're cool and they helped me save you. That's good in my eyes."
"...so what do you think of Gogo..." Hiro stopped rummaging through the boxes. Tadashi looked to him a little concerned only to see a smug grin. "What?"
"I couldn't think of a more perfect girl for you."
"Re..really?!" He agreed but he was surprised to Hiro say it.
"Well yeah she's probably the only one who could deal with you super Nerd!" That battle was on.
Hiro looked at the setting sun as his brother slipped the chip into the large marshmallow.
"Cross your fingers and toes." Hiro gave a nod.
"Ow?" Slowly the eyes opened and looked to the two.
"I am Baymax, your personal healthcare companion. Hello Hiro, Hello Tadashi." They had done it. Before he knew it he had wrapped his arms around the great big marshmallow. He felt his brother join the hug as Baymax finally added his own arms to the hug. After a moment the three separated.
"Oh man, it's great to have you back, bud. But since your suit was damage and left on the other side we'll have to work on a new one...I mea-" Quickly looking between Tadashi and Baymax, Tadashi sighed.
"Baymax, why don't you go surprise the others. We'll catch up."
"Very well, Tadashi." As he waddled out of the room, Hiro looked to Tadashi with concern had he done something wrong? "You know Hiro, Big Hero is a very tiring job and dangerous." Here it was coming. "And I want you to be safe." Would he please just say it! "That's why, you're not allowed to go anywhere on your own. Baymax's armour has gotta be updated monthly. I don't to risk him failing." Wait...what?!
"Da...Dashi are you saying..."
"Well, thanks to the other side, the doc told me I can't do anything to strenuous for the next few months, I'll still be at HQ, but I need someone to make decisions when I can't and someone to tell me when I think or do something stupid. Who else could do that better than my own little brother." Hiro rammed right into Tadashi's waist.
"Of course, you nerd, you can count on me." Messing Hiro's hair, he sighed happily.
"I knew I could."
No one sets out to be a hero, but sometimes that's what we become. We chase the ghost to return a smile. I started this to find my brother. I figured that's where it would end but I was wrong, has Fred would put our origin story has finally come to a close but now our escapades have only just begun!
Hey guys...I am so sorry that this took so long and i really hope it holds up to your guys patiences, my apologizes.
Well that's Finding Hiro is at the end. Kind of sad really but at the same time exciting because this is my first ever finished Fanfic! Celebrating! No time to move on to another story. But the real question is which one next?
Duskmuse vanishing with the rising moon!
