Chapter:

Fred came next. He was like a whirlwind of emotion, which was mostly joy. He has his best friend back so he was bouncing up and down in his seat the whole ride to the hospital, "Aunt Cass...Hey...Mom friend...are we there yet?"

Aunt Cass could have killed him, that was the 30th time he had asked since they left the driveway and they were just now getting to the hospital, "Fred Lee..." She stopped at the red light and turned to give him a glare, "If you continue to annoy me I will throw you out of the car going 80 on the interstate."

"Alas, we are not on an interstate," Fred gave her a cheeky smile and she sighed long suffering. Fred cackled and when the car was barely stopped in the parking spot Fred jumped out.

"Fred Lee, didn't your parents ever tell you that it isn't safe to jump out of a moving vehicle?!" Aunt Cass yelled out the door at him as she parked and turned off the car. She quickly sprinted after the excited young adult. She grabbed him by the back of the shirt at the waiting desk so he could get an ID, "I'm sorry, he's very excitable."

The desk lady looked both concerned and amused. She gave them their badges and then sent them up. Aunt Cass said, "Okay, remember the rules. No mirrors, selfies, or telling him in great detail how he looks. Understood?"

"Yes ma'am."

"Good boy."


Autumn was just finishing up with the ASL lesson when Fred came barreling in like a wreaking ball. She looked over at Fred then signed to Tadashi, Who's that?

Tadashi held in a laugh at her skeptical expression, signing slowly, His name is Fred. He is my friend. Autumn turned, got up, and started signing at Fred who stood there petrified. Autumn picked up his hand and shook it, enjoying the look of nervousness on his face. Tadashi looked at Fred, "This is Autumn. She's teaching me ASL."

"Duddde, your voice! You can go as Darth Vader for Halloween!" Fred grinned, trying to make light of the situation. It was successful because Tadashi started laughing. Autumn looked slightly lost so Tadashi wrote down what Fred said. Autumn laughed and than signed, I need to go. I have a parent now, I will see you tomorrow. Tadashi nodded in response and she left.

Fred pulled up a chair and sat down next to his bed, "Hey man. I tormented your aunt all the way here. She gives great reactions, I thought for sure she was actually going to chuck me out of the car." Fred tilted his head at Tadashi, "You don't look too bad for someone who survived the flames of Hades. Fought with him and came back alive."

Tadashi laughed again, "Sounds like a dangerous thing to do, torment Aunt Cass. Yep, I fought him and came back...scythed, but not dead." He knew he had to look bad at this point. He still couldn't get a nurse to give him a mirror, which meant he'd have to try Wasabi when he came. Wasabi was a stickler for rules though, so he probably wouldn't help him out in that way.

Aunt Cass muttered, "The boy wanted me to kill him. But did I? No. I showed mercy," she pulled out a book and said, "You boys talk to each other, I'll be here, reading." She heard Fred giggle and she slowly looked over the book at him, "Fred Lee. Don't test me."

"If you were a test, I'd..." He didn't even get to finish the sentence because her book smacked him in the head, "Impeccable aim."

"Thank you."

Tadashi burst into hysterical laughter, that was possibly the funniest interaction he had seen between the two.


You want me to teach you how to dance? Hiro signed with surprise. He looked down at his friend, Kathy was smiling up at him, trying to make herself look cuter. Which in Hiro's opinion, wasn't possible because she was already adorable. Hiro had shot up to 5ft 6 in the months after Tadashi's death. He would far surpass his brother in height.

Kathy hopped in place than signed, Please? She wrapped her arms around his waist, sat her chin on his chest so she was looking up at him and batted her eyelashes.

Hiro thought, *this girl has no idea what she does to me.* Then he sighed deeply before conceding. Kathy gave him a squeeze and hopped around in delight, causing Hiro to laugh. The fourteen year old picked the tiny girl up, making her giggle. Hiro gave her a squeeze before putting her back down on her feet.

Kathy ran off to her next class and the interpreter looked amused. The interpreter waved at Hiro when she left and Hiro waved back. Hiro had been talking to the interpreter about some culture things Kathy didn't tell him. Like how touch was perfectly acceptable, they had a thing called Deaf Time, and they could be found near light when signing. Which all made sense.

Hiro wandered to his next class and was accosted by Wasabi. Wasabi picked the boy up in a bear hug, "Hiro! Hey buddy!" He put the boy back down and walked with him to his next class, "I am done for today but decided to talk to you before I went to the cafe to cover for your aunt."

"Hey Sabi," Hiro had been unsurprised when he was picked up by Wasabi. That was Wasabi's normal greeting and he figured it would remain so until Hiro was taller than him, "Out of curiosity, do you know why Aunt Cass keeps leaving?"

"Yeah. She has been visiting Tadashi. She already told me," Wasabi gave Hiro a smile then said, "I know you aren't taking it well. Do you want to talk about it?"

"Not right now. Maybe after school."

"Sure. I'll be at the cafe. See you later, little man," Wasabi ruffled his hair than walked towards the exit door.

"That's an emergency exit."

"I knew this. I could make a pretty epic exit that way, right?"

"No, Wasabi, use the right one."
