Maddie was cursed with horrific nightmares. She had always had them since she was a kid. Monsters, demons, the whole shebang. These nightmares wouldn't happen every night, but lately that was the case. And they were all about Tadashi. It was always at the campus. Sometimes she would be outside of the exhibition hall and other times she would be inside of it. Being forced to hear his screams for help and his struggling before a flash of light causing her to wake up short of breath. And there was always nothing she could do. In every single one she was paralyzed. And that got to her thinking "What if these are visions? What if these are signs that I should do something?" But no matter how hard someone tried, they couldn't do anything to change what the future held. However, that's when the logic kicked in. Tadashi wouldn't be stupid enough to run into a burning building. He just wouldn't. Nightmares and real-life were two completely different things! So Maddie decided to ignore them. Whenever she knew the nightmare was beginning, she would just squeeze her eyes tighter and wake up to a quiet bedroom. Tadashi was going to be fine.


Maddie had to go out of town to Washington D.C. Direct orders from the U.S. Secretary of War. He called it an emergency and that she there as quickly as she could. So now here she was entering the Capital Building dressed as Invinci-girl. Suddenly members of the secret service were on all four sides of her as they led her to the meeting room where she would meet with the Secretary, Generals of the U.S. Military, and some of the most important people in the war department. They were all seated in a high desk what curved around the round room so that each one of them could see her. She walked in front of them and stood, waiting for the 'oh so special and important mission they were to assign her.

"Good evening Invinci-girl." The secretary greeted with a respectful nod. He was a very strict looking man. Always well groomed and to the point.

"Good evening Mr. Secretary. Good evening to you all." She said looking around to the rest of the men seated at the stand. They nodded back with warm smiles and she turned her attention back to the Secretary who stated, "Let us begin. Invinci-Girl, It is to our understanding that you have been developing weapons of advanced technology and prestige. Is this correct?"

"Yes sir. I majored in weapons engineering for my first year of college, but those days are far behind me. Any prototypes of the weapons I built were deactivated and locked away. Why? Has someone gotten ahold of the blueprints and started to manufacture them or-"

"No, but that's what we're trying to do." He interrupted.

Maddie widened her eyes and then furrowed her brow. "I-I'm sorry?"

"Young Lady, the government is about to make you an offer you can't refuse. The government is willing to pay you millions of dollars for your blueprints and approval to build and use your weapons." He said leaning forward slightly

"So wait. This was my special mission? To have you ask me for my weapons? I had to leave home for this?" she said taking a step forward. Irritation heard on her voice.

"Watch your tone Ms. Parr-"

"And you watch yourself Mr. Secretary. You might just put yourself in more danger than me if that name slips past your lips once more. And I'm gonna say no to your offer." She said with annoyance

"It is your duty to serve and protect the people of this country. If you turn us down, you might as well fail us all."

"I do protect this country. What I don't do is tear other countries apart. She stated with her eyes turning orange with anger. "Someone's already tried to take those weapons away from me and I refuse to give them to you. You can tell the government to take back their money. I'm going home." She said turning on her heel.

She heard his chair being pushed out as she stood up and she turned her head, challenging him to speak, but one of the Generals stopped him from saying what he was about to. "Mr. Secretary. She's given us her answer. Let her go." He said. There was a pause before the Secretary bitterly said, "You are dismissed."

She turned and gave him a fake smile before bowing dramatically. When she looked back up she dropped her smile and her eyes turned orange again as she stormed out of the room.

Maddie made her way down the steps of the capital building as calm as possible. She noticed the President walking up the stairs, guarded by men of the secret service. He waved to the paparazzi standing on the sidewalk.

"Ah! Invinc-Girl!" He said holding his hand up for her to stop. "Pose for pictures?" He asked with a presidential smile. As a superhero, you wanted to do everything you could to boost your social status. And posing with the president was a big role in it.

She smiled back at him and stood next to him and waved the same way he did. "What's the matter? You're upset. Superheroes han't be upset." He asked through his smile.

"Ask your Secretary of War." She said looking at him with a professional grin. She then continued her way down the steps as the paparazzi slowly started to focus their attention on her and her attitude. Her super car pulled up and she got in the driver seat before slamming the door shut and speeding away.


Maddie sat in her office chair back at the lab with her blueprints of her missiles hanging on her wall from when she was at Krei Tech. She just stared at them with a fiery glare before ripping them off the wall, crumpling it into a ball and setting it on fire. She was furious. She should have never invented these. But then again, If Krei never saw them and wanted to sell them then she wouldn't have made the transfer to SFIT. She wouldn't have met any of her new friends or Hiro… or Tadashi. And now she was building something that was going to help mankind. She turned her chair and dusted the ashes of the burnt paper off of her hands as she looked at her finished robotics project. She had tested it a total of twenty three times and was going to test it before she was so rudely ushered to the nations capital for the biggest waste of time of her life. Her EVE probe floated in the corner all in one piece.

That's when she heard. "IT WORKS! Oh! This is amazing! You- You work!" She walked in his lab silently and leaned in the doorway to observe Tadashi's excitement over his working nursebot.

"I knew it! I knew it. I knew it! Oh! You work. I can't believe it- I can't believe..." He then calmed himself as he leaned forward "Okay… big moment here." He then walked back a few steps and stood strait, "Scan me."

"Your neurotransmitter levels are elevated. This indicates that you are: Happy."

"I am! I really am! Oh man… Wait till my brother sees you. You're gonna help so many people buddy… So many…" He said with a relieved look. Maddie could just feel tears start to prick up in her eyes. She didn't know why, but this was incredibly emotional and touching. "That's all for now. I am satisfied with my care…" he finished with a smile. Baymax deflated into his luggage. And Tadashi finally saw Maddie who stood there wiping her eyes and sniffled softly.

"Whoa, are you okay?"

"That was beautiful." She said with a whimper while wiping her eyes with her sleeve.
