A/N: OKAY! Entering into the AU brotherly fluff section of this story because I went to the Disney store the other day with my twin sister and I read this book about the two brothers and I felt really upset that Tadashi is dead so I decided to write this for the fun of it. I've got my tumblr full of pepsi and nothing else to do today so heres an update XD
Summary: Alive AU Ending: Hiro visits some very important people in the hospital with a different reaction towards both.
Beep... Beep... Beep.
Dark eyes flashed opened, and Abigail was greeted by a sudden flash of golden light. However, this light was not as bad as the ones that had nearly blinded her earlier, but it still stung when her eyes first opened. Much to her relief, her eyes quickly adjusted to the light and she was soon able to see shapes now, and soon her vision was clear enough that she could see most of her hospital room.
"Baymax! Shes awake!" A young boy's voice called out from her left side.
"W-what?" Abigail gasped as she turned her head suddenly and was met with a marshmallow like being staring back at her. "W-wait... B-Baymax?"
She had heard that name before at the university that her father worked at. One of the students there , who she could not put a name to just yet, would always buzz on and on about that name whenever she came by to visit.
Beep. Beep. Beep. Bepp.
"Her heart rate is increasing rapidly." The marshmallow noted, standing up a little straighter now.
"W-what- Wh-who?" Abigail gasped, placing a hand to her chest in an attempt to calm herself.
"Oh, thats Baymax. Hes an inflatable nurse basically." The same young boy's voice from before was heard, but the robot was blocking him from Abigail's view.
"W-where am I?" She asked next, feeling her heart begin to settle.
"You are in a hospital in SanFransokyo. You have been in unconcious for several weeks now." The robot informed her, his tone never wavering. "How do you feel?"
"I-I'm confused... W-what happened?" She asked, running her fingers through her dirty hair slowly.
"You mean you don't remember?" The young boy's voice cut through the air quickly.
"N-no... Nothing by being taken to the hospital... Thats all..." She muttered, sinking into her pillows slowly feeling as if a heavy weight was steadily lowering itself onto her body.
"Abby, you were in an accident when you flew into a portal as part of Project: Silent Sparrow." Baymax explained, taking the corners of the hospital bed's blanket and gently pulling it up to the woman's chin. "But you are safe now."
"Silent Sparrow... I... I think I remember that." Abigail sighed, snuggling back into the blanket, only to spring up quickly in sudden thought. "M-my father was there! W-where is he now!?"
"Um... Yeah, about that..." This time it had been the boy to reply to her, and she quickly attempted to look over the robots body to see his face.
He only looked to be about 13 years of age, with mess black hair and golden brown, almond-shaped eyes. His skin was pale, as if he hadn't gone outside in a while, and the skin under his eyes was purple from lack of sleep. He looked so familiar to her, and yet she couldn't put a name to face, or at least she couldn't put a correct name to this face. Without thinking, she could hear herself blurt it out.
"T-Tadashi!?" She gasped, unable to put a proper name to the face.
The young boy looked as if he had been struck by an invisible hand, taking a step back as his eyes widened. Abigail gasped, panic rising once more in her chest in reaction to the boy's actions. It took a few moments but the boy finally regained his composure and was able to look her in the eyes again.
"Abby, my name is Hiro Hamada... My older brother is Tadashi Hamada..." The young boy explained in a gentle tone, taking in a deep breath. "There was an accident at the university my brother went to a while back and your father..."
"He isn't..." Tears pricked the woman's eyes as she brought her hands up to cover her mouth, fearing to hear the worst.
A coldness suddenly took over the boy's once warm eyes, and his tone of voice when he spoke next was just as chilling as his glare, though it was obvious that he had not meant for either of those things to be present at that moment. Fear and confusion overtook the young woman as she began to mentally prepare herself for anything he could say next. However, nothing would prepare her for what she was about to hear...
"No... He isn't. Your father is in prison Abby..." Hiro's voice was just as cold as his face when he spoke, walking slowly over to the foot of the woman's bed.
"P-prison?" The woman's bottom lip trembled as she attempted to speak clearly. "B-but ho-"
"1 charge of murder, two charges of attempted murder, two charges of left, and two counts of destruction of public property and aggravated assault." Hiro listed off the charges as if he had memorized them all before entering the hospital earlier that day. "He did it all for you though."
Abigail's mouth hung open from shock as she attempted to register all of this information at once. Hiro frowned and reached out suddenly to pat her hand gently in an attempt to calm her down.
"I'm sorry, Abby... But you should get some more rest." He tried to let some warmth enter his tone as he reached over to the bedside table where a vase was and plucked one of the flowers out of it. "I'll come and visit you again later if you want.
"T-thank you..." Abby muttered dryly, feeling some what appreciative of the boy's kindness.
He smiled softly and nodded before heading towards the door, beckoning the robot to come with him as he did so. Abby sighed heavily as she watched him leave, but a thought suddenly came to her and she called out to him suddenly.
"Hiro, wait!" She called, sitting up just a little bit. "Your brother... W-what happened to him?"
Hiro stopped and turned to her, the faint ghost of a smile evidant on his lips as he twirled the flower between his fingers a few times and then smiled a little wider. Looking back at the still closed door, he reached out to the door knob and twisted it until the door clicked opened.
"Oh... Hes fine. Well, not fine but hes getting better." Hiro pushed the door open slowly and stepped out into the hallway. "I'm actually going to visit him now. Hes in the next room over."
With that, the boy and the robot left the room and Baymax shut the door behind them as they crossed to the next room and pushed open the door. All coldness that was present in Hiro before had suddenly melted away at the sight of his older brother, who despite being wrapped up in heavy bandages was still alive and good natured. When Hiro entered he found his brother sitting up right and on the phone, laughing softly about something that had been said during the phone conversation.
"Okay, Fred. I'll see it when I get back. Bye." Tadashi concluded the conversation quickly and hung up the phone, turning to face his brother now. "Hey, bonehead."
"Hey, bro." The little brother laughed, rushing over to the bedside and tossing the flower he had earlier onto the bedside table. "Hows it going?"
"Better, but it sounds like a mess down at the new lab. Fred mentioned something about a lizard suit- Or something like that-" He wrinkled his nose at the thought, but Hiro was quick to laugh it off.
"Fred is still as lively as well ever." He laughed, shaking his head slowly and smiling a little wider. "Who ever knows what hes talking about?"
"Usually only Fred himself, thats who." The older of the two brother's smiled, looking over at the robot suddenly and just now noticing that he had walked in. "Hey, Baymax."
"Hello, Tadashi." The robot greeted in his monotone voice, shuffling over to the bedside and looking the other over. "Scan completed: Your burns have begun to heal a great deal since we last visited."
"Baymax, you didn't have to scan him." Hiro laughed, patting the robot's hand. "Come on, we're just visiting this time."
"Very well." Baymax went to a nearby chair and attempted to sit in it, letting out a bit of air so that he could fit and 'visit'.
"There ya go." Hiro smiled, sitting up on his brother's bedside. "Now lets find something to talk about."
"The guys?" Tadashi offered, smiling softly at his two brothers as he sat up a little straighter. "How are they doing?"
"Pretty good. They said they were sorry for not visiting, but classes started back up and the new professor is a bit pushy." Hiro explained, poking at his brother's bandaged hand a few times. "Do you feel any of this?"
"No, and why haven't you started? I thought you said classes started already." Disappointment over took the older brother's tone as he frowned at Hiro. "Don't tell me you're not going. We worked so hard just to get you in."
"Relax. I'm just taking some time off to help out with you and Aunt Cass. I'll start when you do." With a roll of the eyes, he slowly took his hand back.
"Hiro, you realize that will be a while, right?" Tadashi said, reaching out his hand and placing it over his brother's hand gently, only to have Baymax hold up his hand to speak. "Yes, Baymax?"
"At the rate of your healing, this may be two years." The bot informed the two, placing his hand onto his 'lap' again after speaking.
"You're not helping." Hiro rolled his eyes, but still smirked anyhow. "Bottom line is, I'll start whenever you do."
"Then I'll have to start sooner." Tadashi laughed, reaching up and ruffling his brother's hair.
"Like Aunt Cass will let you! She'd glue you to a tree before she'd let you start classes in your shape." A gentle shove sent Hiro to the floor in a fit of giggles.
"Don't remind me. She wouldn't even let me sit up the first few times she visited." Tadashi rolled his eyes, shutting them for a few seconds once his irises reached the top of his head.
"For good reason, though. Three broken ribs and third degree burns all over the left side of your body? I don't blame her." Hiro said in a matter-of-fact way, getting off of the floor and taking his spot back on the bed. "When are you coming home anyway?"
"If you hand me my chart then I can tell you." A quick pass off was made a few seconds later. "Apparently two weeks from now."
"Finally! I sort of missed having a roommate." A collective laugh was gathered by the trio at that comment.
"What about Baymax? Isn't he sort of like a roommate." The older brother asked in a good hearted way.
"Sorta, but he wouldn't let me mess up your room." The other shrugged, casting the robot a soft smile as he did so.
"I don't even let you mess up my room." Tadashi shot back, shoving his little brother once more. "You better not have touched my stuff."
"I never said I did... In your room, that is." Hiro's eyes quickly darted to the clock. "Oh, look at that. Visiting hours are over! Gotta go, love ya bro!"
With that, he quickly jumped off of the bed, taking Baymax's hand and quickly dragging him towards the door as Tadashi sat bolt right up, wincing a bit in pain as he watched his brother run.
"Hiro! You better not have touched my lab!" He shouted in the boy's direction, watching as the boy shot him an apologetic glance. "You did, didn't you!?"
"See you tomorrow! I'm not answering any more questions until then!"
With that, the boy laughed loudly, hearing his brother still calling for him as he turned the corner and took off down the hall.
