Three years later:

Hiro, Tadashi, and Eleanor had become the best of friends in these three years. In fact, Leo had been over nearly everyday she could and it was unusual if she wasn't over at the Hamada's. He parents were home every once in a while but they didn't really know where she was most of the time and they didn't really seem to care. Leo had grown to love the family and felt like she was part of it. They had saved her from loneliness without even knowing it and she was so glad.

Holding cell in san fransokyo:

Hiro sat in a cell all by himself, head down avoiding the gaze of his brother. Tadashi on the other hand, was in the cell next to him surrounded by a bunch of other foul smelling dudes whose hands were getting to close to where they shouldn't for tadashi's taste. The cop was calling their Aunt Cass and they were going to be totally busted. Yep, this was it.

"Hey officer Carl. How's it going?I'm here to bail out a Tadashi and Hiro Hamada?" Leo spoke to the officer who, thankfully, hadn't seen her in a while, smiling.

"Well, it sure has been a while since I've seen you in here Parker, keep it up will ya?" She waved him off. She almost missed the guy, almost, that is. She nodded and he got up to release the two boys.

Both Hiro and Tadashi were thanking God Aunt Cass hadn't been the one to show up. They would have to return the favor to Leo when they got the chance. As they walked to meet up with Eleanor, she turned around, seemingly saving their butts once again.

"Hey Carl? Can we please just forget this ever happened? They're really smart and definitely don't need this on their records. It was just a silly mistake. It won't happen again. Can we just use this as a warning? I promise I'll stay out of trouble if you just do me this one tiny itsy bitsy favor!" She clasped her hands together and pulled out her best puppy dog eyes. She had been trying to learn them from Hiro for the past three years as it seemed to always get him out of trouble.

"Hmm. Alright kid, just this once and I don't ever want to see your face in here again. Got it?" he tried to be serious, but he smiled a little when the woman hugged him and thanked him, promising again to stay out of trouble. She turned to wave and they left the building. As soon as they turned a corner Tadashi and Hiro spoke.

"Thank God it was you Elean-"

SMACK! She smacked both boys upside the head before they could express their thanks. Rubbing their heads, they threw her glares.

"You're so lucky I got to the phone before Aunt Cass did! No, you know what? After i'm done with you two you're gonna wish Aunt Cass had heard it! How could you be so stupid? That could have gone on your permanent records you idiots! You're lucky I know Carl! I oughta slap you both! You just put your futures in jeopardy! UGH!" she was practically screaming at this point and both boys had gone pale. It had been a few months since they had been chewed out by Leo. She tugged on her hair in frustration kicking an empty can as they passed tried to explain, but Leo was having none of it. She was always so mad when the boys, mostly Hiro, got in trouble with the law. She knew first hand what it did to your future, she had to go to an online college because of it!

"Leo look it was just-"

"No, I don't want to hear it until we get to your room then you guys can explain I'm just too mad right now." and with that they silently made their way home, the two boys hanging their heads slightly.

Walking by Aunt Cass in the kitchen Leo stomped upstairs after Tadashi and Hiro.

"It was just a bot fight Leo! You used to go to those all of the time! It's not a big deal." Hiro sat down at his computer and opened up a page about another bot fight that would be happening in an hour on the other side of town. Tadashi spoke up.

"Not a big deal? Hiro, we were in a holding cell!" He plopped himself on his bed exasperated with the situation. Having cooled down some, Leo spoke up.

"Hiro I love you, but you can't do this anymore okay?" It was true, Eleanor did love Hiro. She loved Aunt Cass and she loved Tadashi. The family had definitely wormed their way into her heart over the past three years.

"Yeah I used to bot fight. I used to get into real fights! I broke into a Ready Mart at midnight for a pack of gum once! Are you really justifying what you did through what I've done? If that's the case then spoiler alert, your future is going to seriously blow." She wanted to scream and cry at the same time. She was so tired of Hiro getting into trouble like this! If he wasn't careful, he was going to screw up his life!

"Your life wasn't even that bad Leo! Plus I'm a lot smarter than most people!" Hiro was mad. He was mad because Eleanor was completely right and he hated being wrong. He was mad at himself for making her mad, for worrying Tadashi, for letting his dead parents down. He was hardly ever mean but the words just flew from his mouth before he had time to think about them, but he wasn't backing down was just too stubborn.

"See, that's your problem Hiro! You think you know everything! You're truly a genius, but that doesn't mean you have all the knowledge of the world at your fingertips! You think being super smart is going to get you through life without any work? If you want to end up like me then you're going to be very disappointed with your choices Hiro! When you're fourteen, you'll have been arrested seven times for petty theft. When you're fifteen, you'll have been in a holding cell with officer Carl seven times in that month. When you're eighteen you'll try to kill yourself, is that the future you want?" by now she was crying. It wasn't because she admitted her suicide attempt or that she was embarrassed about going on such a rant. It was simply because she loved Hiro and didn't want him to end up like her when he had so much potential to change the world. Her hands were clenched into fists and she didn't bother wiping the tears from her eyes. She was a twenty year old woman crying in front of a fourteen year old boy. She just looked at his stunned face.

He jumped up from his chair, not caring that he knocked over his bag of gummi bears, this was more important.

"I'm sorry Eleanor, Tadashi. I just. I'm just sorry, okay?" he hugged Leo as her tears were wiped away by her hands and she hugged him back. She hoped this was enough to scare him away from bot fighting or anything illegal for that matter.

"It's alright. I forgive you, just use that big brain of yours for good okay? I can tell you're gonna do great things just like your brother, probably greater." With that she turned around and smirked at Tadashi. He smiled back at her and joined their cute little hug.

"Aww a group hug guys!" Leo said as Tadashi lifted both of them up, still hugging.

Leo smiled. This was what she lived for now.

"I love you guys, you know that?" She leaned down kissing Hiro on the forehead and stepped onto her tippy toes to kiss Tadashi's cheek. Letting go, Tadashi got an idea.

"Let's take a drive. Grab your bot, Hiro. We're going to SFIT."

Hiro was nervous to go into the nerd school. he didn't really want to go there, but his brother and Leo were insisting, so he decided it wouldn't hurt to take a small look around. They entered the building.

"Welcome," Tadashi said adorably, putting his arms around both his companions, "To SFIT."

Tadashi made a beeline for his lab while Hiro and Leo looked around a little bit. Leo had been here once really late at night when Tadashi just had to show her Baymax who he finally got to work on the eighty fourth try. At that time though, there hadn't really been anyone else in the labs. Now, there were quite a few people. Hiro seemed to fit in just fine, understanding everyone's inventions and projects and all of their mechanical terms and quite frankly, it made Leo feel like an idiot. She was so out of her element here. They all seemed pretty nice though, i mean they had to be if they were friends of Tadashi. There was Honey Lemon, Gogo, fred, and wasabi. They were all very different , but seemed to get along really well which surprised her. These people were so smart and she was so, not. Ugh, how she wished had been born with a bigger brain!

Hiro and Eleanor made their way into Tadashi's lab.

"Looks different than last messy." Leo giggled remembering how torn up the place had been while he was working on Baymax.

"Hey, how come she got to see your lab firs?Unbelievable." Hiro huffed feigning anger at them. As she walked by Hiro, Leo pinched his arm. Hard.

"Ouch! What was that for?" suddenly what appeared to be an inflatable marshmallow pulled itself out of a red box on the floor. It introduced itself as baymax and Tadashi explained in big words how he worked and the type of metal he used while Leo just sat on tadashi's desk swinging her short legs back and forth. tadashi was so animated about it and he was just so adorable. She blushed a little at the thought.

"Hey baymax! Long time no see buddy!" she smiled at the while inflated machine.

"It had been two weeks, five hours and seven minutes since our last meeting. Would you like me to play the footage of said meeting?" Baymax replied. He pulled up the footage as Leo and Tadashi's faces grew tomato red at those words.

"No! We are satisfied with our care!" they shouted at the same time. When Eleanor had first met baymax, it was the first time he had worked for Tadashi and in the excitement of the moment, He had straight up kissed her on the lips laughing and smiling about how happy he was that it had finally worked. Hiro did not need to know that.

"What happened the last time you guys were with baymax?" Hiro said wiggling his eyebrows suggestively. Leo grabbed a rolled up blueprint from the desk she was sitting on and threw it at Hiro's head. He rubbed it, smirking at her.

"Nothing." Tadashi and Leo had spoken at the same time. Again. Hiro may have been quite younger than the two but he saw the way they danced around each other all the time. He knew they loved each other and not the way they loved him, like a little brother, no this was the kind of love that Tadashi had said his parents had before they died. The kind that was adorable and sweet and nearly perfect. Hiro smiled at the thought of Leo someday becoming his big sister in-law.

"What?" Tadashi questioned his younger brother's expression.

"Oh nothing I was just thinking about when you two were finally gonna hook up that's all." that evil little boy had a death wish. Yep.

Once again. something was thrown at him from Tadashi's desk. Hiro left the room for a few minutes obviously talking to the head of the institute unknowingly explaining his bot. Tadashi made his way to where Leo was sitting on his desk, putting his arms on both sides of the table as he bent down a little to become eye level with her. He smiled as she grabbed his hat off his head, placing it on her own.

"Hmmm," she said rubbing her chin like she had seen Tadashi do many times when he was thinking hard about something.

"This thingamabobber should go there! Yes and this doohickey should go here!" she was obviously mocking him, but he couldn't be mad. She was adorable in his hat. It was a little big for her head so it fell down a little in the front while her blue hair puffed out in spots from it. Not to mention she was also wearing his SFIT sweatshirt that was about three sizes too big so her hands were covered by the soft sleeves due to the fact that she hadn't brought her jacket. He grabbed a quick kiss, one she wasn't prepared for and promptly blushed, turning around and seeing his boss/teacher and his younger brother.

"Hiro, there is going to be an expo next week. If you really catch my attention with something I can guarantee you a scholarship to SFIT. Unless, you want to keep bot fighting, then, this isn't the place for you." with that he turned and left leaving the three amigos in the elevator. As soon as they were outside, Hiro was extremely animated.

"I have to go to that school! Forget not fighting, bot fighting is for losers with no future!" He was jumping all around and Leo couldn't help but pick the kid up and spin him around. He was just so adorable! It almost hurt.

"You'll definitely get in kid. I just know it." Eleanor smiled as they jumped on Tadashi's bike, that really should to have three people on it at once, and made their way back to the cafe.

Tadashi was downstairs when the fight had started. It was just Hiro and Eleanor sitting on the younger boy's bed.

"I want the red one."

"No leo, the red are my favorite!"

"Yeah, well they're mine too!"

"Hiro, just give me one red gummi bear. Seriously its not that big of deal!" She was exasperated. All she wanted was one stinking red gummi bear. Was that too much to ask for? So she punished him the best way she knew how.

She tickled him.

She attacked his sides, neck, feet, the works.

His childish giggles rang throughout the cafe, he was practically squealing!

"Eleanor! Stop! You're gonna make me pee!" he was involuntarily rolling around, trying to be serious, but the tickles were too much.

"Never! You should have given me the gummy bear!" she said through her evil laugh.

"Tadashi! Tadashi! Help!" he was giggling and his sides hurt like crazy, he needed his knight in shining armor! Soon enough, Tadashi came bursting through the door. Eleanor froze.

"Tadashi, help me!" Hiro threw out those puppy dog eyes and Tadashi was on his side immediately.

"I'll get her Hiro! No man left behind!" he said childishly as he grabbed a squealing Eleanor and tossed her on the bed.

"I'm sorry Hiro! You can keep the gummi bears! Just no ticklin-"

she was interrupted by her own cackles and giggles as Tadashi revenge tickled tried to push him off but he playfully picked her up, throwing her tiny frame over his shoulder.

"Quick, Hiro get her feet!" Tadashi commanded as Hiro jumped to fulfill his duty. She pounded Tadashi's back trying to get free before her sides broke from the pain of being tickled.

"Stop guys! You're not funny!" she said sticking her tongue out as Tadashi set her back on the bed. As he did so, she yanked his wrist, pulling him down too as she kissed him despite Hiro being in the room. She didn't care, she just had to kiss him. He was freaking adorable and sweet and just ugh she had fallen hard. They were interrupted by cat calls coming from the younger Hamada.

"Guys keep it PG please, gosh, get a room will ya?" Hiro teased as they broke apart, still laying on Tadashi's bed. Eleanor curled up beside him as Hiro headed to his own bed. Normally, Eleanor wouldn't sleep in the same room as the boys. There was a couch downstairs but she saw nothing wrong with sleeping upstairs one time.

"Hey, Tadashi?" she spoke quietly, barely a whisper.

"Hmm?" he responded.

"Just. never leave, okay?"

He smiled down at her, running one of his hands through her messy hair. She was still in his SFIT sweatshirt and pair of her joggers, curling up against his right arm.

"I promise." he said, linking his pinky finger around hers as they dozed off.
