"Tadashi."
Hm..? Homura…?
"Time to wake up… your brother is waiting for you. Your journey is finally at its end… come on… open your eyes. This is what you wanted…. right?"
Yes… It's what I wanted this whole time…
"Then wake up… he's right there."
Tadashi struggled a little as he opened his eyes. It was a little blinding at first, but everything cleared and he could see his brother right beside him.
"Mm…? What hit me…?" he asked.
Hiro smiled giving one of his hands a squeeze. "A monster made of goo but you managed to make it out…"
Tadashi looked to him, smiling softly. "Awesome…" He looked to see his Anchor Gear in his hand and was all healed up, sighing in relief. He let it float up to his head, turning back into his hat before he sat up. "Ah… much better."
"Agreed there." Hiro nodded looking his brother over. "You haven't changed a bit…"
"Yeah, stuck with these looks for the rest of my life." Tadashi struck a dramatic pose. "Not sure what I'll do."
Hiro snickered before he threw his head back laughing. "Well I know one thing… You'll be eternally a NERD forever." He laughed nudging his brother a bit.
"I can live with that… Nerd!" Tadashi pulled him into his arms, messing up his hair. "C'mere you!" Oh I've missed this!
Hiro yelped before laughing hugging his brother. "You're so gonna get it one of these days! Submit to the messy hair society!"
Tadashi chuckled. "Maybe! But I'll worry about that later." He looked to Baymax. "I'm guessing your scans are probably driving you crazy."
"If you mean that I wish I could understand your current state, then you would be correct."
"Don't worry, I'll get that fixed up once I get a moment to make a chip."
"Thank you Tadashi."
"You're welcome Baymax."
Hiro shook his head smiling. "Just glad your back… But hehe… Funny thing you reminded me of when you said "chip"..." He smirked.
That's never a good sign… and I think I just felt a chill got through me.
"... I'm afraid to ask. What did you do to my robot?"
The teen gave a completely innocent look. "Why whatever could I possibly do to my beloved Nii-san's robot?" He said complete with puppy eyes.
I got a list… But I'll just go with the top one.
"I don't know… possibly turn him into a bot fighting robot."
"HEY! I've been clean for two years with that. I only do the local official tournaments… But uh…. Aunt Cass may have done something…" Hiro trailed off.
They both heard a sigh come from Baymax.
"She programmed a chip to turn me into a cook/butler…"
She… what…?
Tadashi was silent… then a snicker came about before a full out laughter.
"OH MY GOSH!"
"I know right!?" Hiro laughed. "It was awesome!"
Baymax deflated a little lowering his head. "Your aunt is very much like Hiro in some aspects…"
"Aww… my poor robot…" Tadashi went over to him, patting his shoulder. "You'll be okay."
"She at least does not ask me to become a full time chef… Hiro forbade that at least." Baymax nodded.
"Yeeeaaah…" Hiro chuckled. "But he's still on the weekend clock… And Friday nights… He makes some of it better than Aunt Cass does… He doesn't burn the meat when it comes to Sukiyaki."
"... Can I get a try at that sometime? That sounds delicious."
"Very well… Friday night it is."
"Yes!" Hiro quietly cheered.
Tadashi chuckled. "Awesome."
"Tadashi, I do have some questions for you."
"Fire away big guy."
"Who else is going to be under your contract?"
That is a good question.
Tadashi rubbed the back of his neck. "Well… Aunt Cass… still working on the third one…"
Hiro smirked a bit. "You know… You could include one of the other team members… Like Honey."
Huh? H-Honey Lemon…? Tadashi thought, feeling some heat rush to his face as he looked towards his brother with a questioning look.
"What's with that face?"
"Oh just…. Y'know… She misses ya like crazy… And she still has as her phone wallpaper that picture of us on… Y'know… THAT night…" Hiro shrugged. "Just thought she might like to know your not gone forever… And what's with those red cheeks eh?"
Tadashi felt more heat and immediately slapped himself GAH! STOP THAT! "Oh be quiet." Though… Honey was one of the friends I was closer to… I told her everything including Hiro's antics... I'll think about it.
"You know you love me." Hiro snickered.
Tadashi shook his head. "Any other questions?"
"Are you planning on working with the team?" Baymax chimed in. "If you are going to communicate I would recommend coming up with another name to go by so your contract is not violated."
Tadashi paced the room a little, sighing.
"I kind of wish I could find a loop hole around that since… I really wish to see all my friends again… But fighting beside them would be good to do as well…"
"Well…" Hiro mused. "Your visor is tinted so you can't see who's inside of it… And your armor is like mine so all they'd know is you're my protector… I could even lie and say it's our dad guarding us…. Or…" The boy hummed in thought before getting his signature grin as an idea came to him. "What about a code name?"
Tadashi hummed in thought. "I never did get a proper name Fred for the Nerd Lab so I'm overdue."
"Yep… And I got an idea too…"
"Let's hear it."
Hiro pointed to Tadashi. "You Tadashi Hamada, will become… Immortal 7."
Tadashi repeated the name in his head.
Immortal 7… well… it does fit.
"Immortal 7… I like it."
"Then Immortal 7 it is… Hm…" Hiro hummed. "Guess we'll have to change the team name… We got seven members now…"
"Maybe Tadashi could just be an add on… a vigilante as someone might put it." Baymax suggested.
"True… And people might wonder if they could join if all that's needed is armor and well.. We can't take on just ANYONE… Alright if it's alright with Tadashi he'll just be an ally and not directly part of Big Hero 6…" Hiro looked over to Tadashi. "Would it be okay?"
"Fine with me. I still get to fight with you guys." Tadashi brought Hiro into an embrace. "And I still get to be with my brother."
Hiro hugged him tightly sighing happily. "Hamada brothers forever…"
"That's right…" Tadashi stroked his hair. "Never to part again."
Hiro relaxed, nuzzling a little. "Yeah… Love you Nii-san…"
"Love you too… Otouto…"
Hiro closed his eyes. "Hey bro… one last question?"
"Yes?"
"What… was that thing that attacked us?"
Tadashi sighed. "I got a whole story to tell you before I explain what that thing was… Just not right now… my head still hurts."
Hiro nuzzled him. "Then I can wait."
Tadashi nuzzled back. "Good…"
He sighed in relief, closing his eyes.
It's good to finally be home.
The End
