Different Angles

What Revenge Can Do

He just did what they never signed up for.

"Yeah… Sorry, Heathcliff," Fred said to the person over the phone.

"You needn't worry. I shall be arriving shortly," his butler answered before hanging up. Fred could've sworn he heard him sigh in exasperation before doing so.

Fred turned to his friends, "He said he'd be here soon."

"Great," GoGo said, blowing a bubble and popping it. "Now about what just happened…"

The whole team just looked at the ground in silence. Hiro nearly killed someone. They knew Professor Callaghan mocked their best friend's death, but killing him for it wasn't the right thing to do. This goes to show what grief and despair can do to a person's mind.

"I think I took the most damage," Fred said, rolling his shoulders. Baymax slammed him against the wall multiple times; Fred was certain there were dark blue bruises all over his body.

"I still can't bring myself to believe what just happened," GoGo said, shaking her head in disbelief. "We said we'd capture him, not kill him. Hiro was this close to becoming a murderer."

"I can't believe he ordered Baymax to destroy him," Wasabi said quietly.

"He didn't mean to," Honey Lemon defended. "Professor Callaghan said it in such a way that sounded like Tadashi died for no reason."

"I know, but still. There's no excuse." Wasabi didn't want to bring this up, but someone had to say it, "Tadashi didn't create him to take lives. He created him to save them."

There was a long, pregnant pause. It was the truth, and they all knew it.

"They're… so different," Fred said.

"They're really not," GoGo said, shaking her head all the while imagining how things would have gone if Hiro and Tadashi's roles were reversed.

Honey Lemon nodded, "GoGo's right. If Tadashi- no, if any of us were in his shoes, I'm sure we'd do it, too. That's what revenge can do; even the warmest hearts can turn cold."

"And even the kindest people can turn evil."

All of a sudden, the sound of a loud, noisy engine resounded from above them, causing them all to look up to see what it was. Their eyes met with a huge helicopter, and an all-too-familiar butler threw open the door, greeting them all with a nod. After a few quick words to the pilot, the chopper lowered itself, and Heathcliff threw a long ladder over the edge.

"Sweet! Thanks, Heathcliff!" Fred screamed as loud as he could for his butler to hear. Heathcliff nodded return. "Alright, you guys go first."

Wasabi was the one to climb up first because he was the most anxious to get away from the quarantine-labeled island. Next was GoGo, who climbed up the ladder insanely fast, and now it was Honey's turn.

Once Honey Lemon made it to the top, she cupped her mouth with her hands and yelled, "Fred, come on!"

Before grabbing hold of the ladder, Fred noticed a suspicious-looking USB lying on the floor. He threw the hood of his costume off, and picked it up to inspect it. It was old and beat up, but did it still work…? Maybe it held important information; maybe this could be the final piece to the puzzle.

"Fred, hurry up!" GoGo yelled impatiently from above.

"This, my friends, might be the start of something," Fred said to himself, shoving the item into his pocket and throwing his hood back on. He climbed up the ladder, feeling somewhat accomplished and useful for finding a possibly important piece of evidence.

However, after arriving at the top, Fred started having second thoughts. He wasn't sure if the information he was going to get from it would even be important.

If there was one thing he learned from the Marvel universe, plugging in this USB could start a war, like when Steve Rogers and Natasha Romanoff discovered Doctor Zola's secret underground base. He wasn't sure if it was the best idea.

But if it would tell them why Robert Callaghan did what he did, taking the life of Tadashi Hamada in the process, then he would plug it in in a heartbeat.

A/N: Wow, I just realized how many Winter Soldier references I put in this fic whoops. I'd like to thank Monsterhighcleoaddict for the request! :D I personally believe one of them found that USB and didn't pull out a USB out of their shorts and plugged it into the destroyed computer LOL.
