I've had a lot of questions asked as to what is actually happening in this future - if the gang are still superheroes, what happened after the fire, when this takes place, and etc.

So before I move on to F is for Fred and inevitably forget about even doing this chapter, I think it's right that I explain to everyone what is happening in this alternate universe; what the gang's up to, the timeline, even the powers, and maybe a tidbit about Baymax.

Even though this is a filler chapter, I still highly suggest you read this chapter. Hopefully this will help you understand the other aspects of Hiro and Tadashi's idle talk in the middle of plans.

Also, another note: The way Tadashi and GoGo get together in this book is pretty much what happened in my first Tomadashi story, Convince Me. If you want a better, more detailed story about that, feel free to check it out.

The events in Plans A to Z happen presumably five years after the huge fire that destroyed the convention hall in San Fransokyo Institute of Technology. Tadashi Hamada doesn't dive into the fire; he is talked out of it by Hiro Hamada and GoGo Tomago. A few weeks later, a huge scandal is uncovered as Professor Callaghan is discovered to be still alive, and hoarding experiments of other students; Hiro's Microbots included.

This may or may not be thanks to a certain group of seven masked, unknown individuals, all of who have suddenly gone off the map after putting Callaghan behind bars.

Five years later...

Tadashi is working at a huge, well known robotics company. He is part of the development team; a group of near-geniuses who work on inventing newer and better things as soon as possible. Those who know Tadashi are confused; he was a gentle soul, never one they'd thought to be in an environment where supply and demand are more important than the effects of their actions. They'd envisioned Tadashi Hamada as one who'd change the world, not conform to it.

They aren't aware that Tadashi is saving up for something bigger, something that will be worth all the effort he's spending on this rut of a job.

Hiro is about to graduate. Despite him being a genius, school hasn't been easy on him... Mainly because he's been a bit lazy. He isn't dating anyone currently, although he's had a few dates in the past. His final project was basically the opposite of Baymax - a bodyguard robot. All he needed to do was combine his knowledge of bot-fighting, and his knowledge of how Baymax worked, and he had created the perfect body guard.

Baymax helps Aunt Cass in the Lucky Cat Cafe when he's not being used in hospitals around San Fransokyo. The robot has taken a liking to talking to customers, and making use of the new 'Human Communications' chip that Tadashi installed for him. There are still a few times when he says the wrong thing, but these are minor issues. Customers have learned to accept his frankness and innocence, while teaching him a few things of their own.

GoGo continues to do the work she did best after her graduation. After taking up odd jobs and working as a car mechanic, she finally opened up her own car 'Repair and Revamp' shop. Fast was in these days, and fast was what GoGo did best. She of course, was still seeing her boyfriend of five years, and had finally gotten in touch with her feelings. She had to admit that having someone who genuinely cared for her was one of the best things to happen to her. Once she had let her walls down, and let him in, she had absolutely no regrets.

Fred is still a mascot. In fact, while all of his friends graduated from their specific majors, the chilled-out blonde remained satisfied in his job as a school mascot by both day and night. The only thing that changed happened around the time that the school board realized that while their own students remained in the same age group every year, provided that they graduated, the school mascot seemed to be getting older and older. In order to prevent any future mishaps, Fred was let go, and asked to find something else to do.

Undeterred, Fred found a job at a burger and hot dog joint in Downtown San Fransokyo, working as... Yes, you guessed it, a Hot Dog mascot.

Honey Lemon teaches advanced chemistry in SFIT. After graduation, she applied for a job initially as a lab assistant to one of her old professors. However, a few months after she was accepted, an unfortunate incident caused her professor to go blind and be deemed unfit to teach. There was no one else available to teach advanced chemistry immediately, and so, Honey Lemon offered to teach for at least a week while they searched for a substitute. She turned out to be a natural at teaching; the students loved her, and she made one of the hardest subject easier to learn. She's currently working on expanding her field to Physics and Histology, but as of now, she's finding it a bit hard to balance teaching and studying.

Wasabi is now a father to a two-month old baby girl. He married his college girlfriend about a year and a half ago (Fred was the Best Man), and the lucky girl was someone who had accepted his slightly obsessive compulsive impulses. Wasabi decided to give up his job at the same company Tadashi works in, just so he could be a better father to Daisy, his little girl. Although his wife insisted it wasn't necessary, Wasabi thought he needed to be there every second of every day for his little girl.

The gang could already sense the over-protective father alert.

The group of friends still meet when they can, although it's rare for all of them to meet together. GoGo and Tadashi are understandably seen together most of the time. Hiro and Honey Lemon are both in SFIT, so it made sense that both would often see each other and ask the other for help. Fred and Wasabi saw each other a lot, mainly because the Hot Dog joint Fred worked in was one of Wasabi's favorite quick snack shops. Fred was a sucker for babies.

... And here's what you missed in Big Hero 6!

Did you see what I did back there? Glee reference? No? Okay.

So in a nutshell, Tadashi's still an inventor, Hiro's about to graduate, GoGo has her own car shop, Baymax is getting better at human relations, Wasabi's a dad, Honey's a teacher, and Fred's still a mascot. The events of Big Hero 6 happened, but Tadashi was part of the entire 'Expose The Man in the Kabuki Mask' plan, with powers that will be revealed in the next chapter (hint, cough cough).

I hope it's a bit more understandable now, and that you've been updated to the current situation.

I am feeling very inspired by all of your prompts; the ones I'm just dying to do are piling up! Don't make me choose!

See you all in F is for Fred!
