Summary: What if Honey Lemon hadn't made it in time to put Baymax's original chip back in? What if Hiro had been ok with that? What if they had found Tadashi but he was in a coma?

I DON'T OWN THE CHARACTERS IN THIS STORY. The rights go to their official owners. Additionally to that, the plot has been my idea.

As always, there will be no scheduled updates, but I am glad to announce that we are almost caught up with where I had started to do my rewriting. So soon you will be seeing new content and progress on the story.

If there is anyone who would be willing to go through this story and beta read it that would be great! Let me know!

Hiro took a few steps back as he looked at the headway he had made in the last week. Smiling to himself, he enjoyed the feeling of getting so much done before his team would be arriving tomorrow. He looked to the lights above, marveling that this lab was once fully operational. Hiro had endlessly worked on getting enough solar panels to charge two rooms, including the cameras, with enough left over for odds and ends throughout both areas (the lab and the connecting office space). The glow would stay for 24 hours even with continuing uses for multiple people. Hiro left the lab switching the lights off wanting to show his progress to his team the next morning.

Walking down the now dimly lit hallway, Hiro found Baymax finishing up with the last broken camera.

"How's it looking?" Hiro glanced at his phone.

"It is going, well. Not a lot of damage was done to the camera." Baymax looked down to Hiro before going back to work.

"How much longer? We need to get home soon." Cass had messaged him about the headband about 30 minutes ago and he was more than concerned.

"Not much longer. I only need to reroute the power and run a diagnostic to see if it is recording." The large robot moved to another part of the camera.

"Good." Hiro leaned on the wall as he heard the message.

"Hey, Hiro! Miss you kid, I feel really bad about this but the headband you gave me got water on it and broke. I'm so sorry about that honey! Please stay safe! Come home soon!"

Said child groaned, of all the things he forgot to make it waterproof. That means the others aren't either! Giving a sigh, he turned to look at Baymax, "Progress report."

"Doing the diagnostic now," The red robot stood for a moment as a few clicks and whirring noises could be heard "Complete. Camera is now recording and operational."

Hiro smiled "FINALLY! Now let's get out of here. Aunt Cass wants us home and there's nothing I can do to change that from here." He jumped onto the robots back as is started walking to the exit.

"We need to find a way in and out of here that will keep us from getting found out. Baymax, when we fly over this place I want a full, detailed scan on this building, including the piping and electrical systems." Baymax nodded at Hiro's request as he left through the main doors.

Hiro laughed as Baymax took off into the air.

When they landed on the shore closest to their location Hiro hides behind a metal crate to grab his normal clothes and change, being seen with his gear on was less than ideal.

Baymax speaks to him from around the side of the crate, "I did a scan of the island and all piping, it seems there used to be a large pathway that lead back to the city. I checked multiple maps from the time the lab was built to now only to find that there is no record of them."

Hiro smiled as he slipped his shoes on, "That's perfect! I could use that! Where does it let out in the city?"

"I am not sure yet, we haven't reached the end of the tunnel."

The young teen steps out with his civilian clothes on and his bag full, "Darn, we'll have to find that outlet. Better idea! Baymax you follow the tunnel and come back when you find where it leads, don't be seen, heaven knows that would cause problems. That's top priority. Go."

The red robot disappears without another word said. Just as silently the teen wanders into the city, taking his time to get lost in the streets of Sanfran Sokyo before making it back to the bakery.

Breathing deeply to try and settle back into what he was before this whole mess, Hiro steps into the bakery.

"Welcome! Be right with you!" A disembodied voice called out from behind the counter.

"Hey Hannah!" He calls to the space.

Almost as soon as he finished, a loud whack and a startled yelp responded to him. The wonderful Hannah popped her head up to look at him, "HIRO!" He watched as she jumped over the counter and ran at him.

"Yeah, He-UGH!" He had been ready for it but it was always a shock when a blur of ginger and brown comes slamming into you only to give you the softest hug as if to apologize for the initial force.

She pulls back to hold him at arms length, "What is wrong with you?! You disappear off the face of the planet, no phone call, not text, no message for Miss Hamada to leave for us! Then the moment you come back you decide it's a good idea to startle me half to death?"

"HAHA! Oh come on Hannah, you know I never plan to scare you anymore, all I have to do is say hi and you hurt yourself. Are you ok by the way?"

She huffs, "I'm fine thank you," she pushes him around the counter so she can keep working and still talk "So! What has the ever wonderful genius been doing without his brown friend?"

The genius in question rolls his eyes, she stands as a proud brown ginger of 16, just 2 years older than him, and has been working in this bakery for a little over 3 months, Aunt Cass had allowed her to work here since she needed a job and she's an old friend of the family.

"You are aware that you are not the only brown person I know right?"

She gasps as if offended, "Hiro, how could you? Replacing me with someone else."

He smiles, yes a genuine non crazy smile, "I said I had MET other brown people, that doesn't mean I replaced you. To this day you hold the title of 'Only Brown Friend' so don't worry about that."

"Oh but I have to worry!" She stands holding an arm full of items "as you get older the threat of you making other brown friends is high! I must keep my title and defend my honor with everything I have."

A snort is heard from the kitchen, "Defend your honor for what? I leave you out here alone for 5 minutes and you're suddenly- Hiro?"

Hiro smiled at Sam, he was about the same height as Tada-... as someone else he knew, honestly the only difference between the two of them had been their hair color, platinum blonde vs dark brown/black.

"Hey Sam."

"Wow, you've been scarce for a while now. How are you?" The taller male was trying to avoid bringing up the funeral.

"Busy, anyway! Where is Aunt Cass?" though he had a good guess.

"She is upstairs right now. We were actually about to close up shop." Hannah gestures to the few people sitting around.

Hiro nods before walking to the stairs, "Ok, thanks. We will have to talk later."

They both give him a thumbs up as he heads up the stairs.

Decided to put a small note here: This is a little off from what was supposed to be chapter 10 so it might take me longer to get 11 out.
