Chapter Twenty: Bittersweet Epilogue
Honey rested a hand on Hiro's shoulder. The eighteen year-old was currently slouched over his desk, fast asleep. The blonde pulled a blanket over him, sighing quietly at his antics.
She had only stopped by to deliver some brownies to the café. How she continuously got roped into worrying about this tiny nut job was beyond her. Not that she really minded. He'd been working really hard on something ever since he got back from that underground lab, and didn't seem inclined to let any of them in on it.
As she tried to get a pillow under him she accidently knocked a blueprint out from under him. Curious, she picked it up.
It was wrinkled and looked like it had been repeatedly shoved in someone's jacket. There were complex equations and formulas scrawled all over it, to the point that it was barely a blueprint at all. Honey was about to put it back on the desk when the words on the top caught her eye.
Sparrow Time Machine Formula
Time machine? She wondered. Why would Hiro be trying to build a time machine?
Her eyes widened as it clicked.
Tadashi.
Hiro was going to try and get him back. Only this time, for real. And, with any luck, for good.
And with that, Of Brothers and of Clones (aka 5 Years Later) is brought to a close. Thanks to all of you for sticking with me while I spat out this half-baked story.
I did try to bring everything full circle here, too. I did originally have bigger plans for the epilogue, but it got really hard to picture, so A) I'm sorry this is so short and B) enjoy this cute scene in Honey-Lemon's POV. I may later (way, way, way, way later) write a one-shot of Tadashi coming out of the portal, but it's just a maybe right now.
Thanks again for all of your Follows, Favorites, and most of all your Reviews. Those always make my day! I plan on writing a lot more fics for a lot more fandoms so tune in whenever.
I love and appreciate you all. Sincerely –MagicQuill42
