Kate

Tadashi held me until I had calmed down and asked, "You okay now?" I nodded and he stood up to leave but I grabbed his hand and pulled him back towards me.

"Stay," I whispered, my eyes pleading for him not to go. He looked in my eyes and then down to the hand that had grabbed his. I was still shaking even though the tears in my eyes had dried up. Without a word, he crawled underneath the covers beside me. He pulled me to him and I rested my head on his chest. Tadashi whispered "Do you want to tell me about it?"

"No." I breathed back. "Not now." I wasn't sure I could ever tell him. Saying it out loud would only make it seem more real.

I woke up to Tadashi's alarm clock blaring. I moaned and curled into a ball, burying my face underneath the covers and pressing into Tadashi. He chuckled quietly at my displeasure of being woken up and leaned over me to dismiss the alarm. "You're just as bad as Hiro."

"Sleep is good for the body," I mumbled. "It strengthens the immune system and decreases levels of cortisol and epinephrine."

"Yeah…epinephrine bad," Hiro muttered, not fully awake. I jumped and opened my eyes when I heard Hiro yell. Tadashi had pulled him out of bed and was holding him upside down by the ankles. "Fine! I'm up. Just put me down." I giggled. Tadashi better not try that with me.

I kept my eyes on him as he walked over to me and leveled his face with mine. "You coming?"

"SFIT?" He nodded and I sighed, getting up. "I guess I could hang out in the lab today and try to catch up on what I missed." I paused and frowned, realizing I had no clothes here. "But all my stuff is back and my apartment. I don't have my clothes or books or anything." Tadashi silently went into his closet and pulled out two bags. "Is that?"

"Yup. It's your backpack filled with your laptop and notes and your duffel bag with some clothes."

"Is that what you were doing last night?" He nodded. "Thanks, Tadashi. You're the best!"

We were the first ones in the lab and I walked over to my section. It wasn't really messy but it could use some organizing. All of my equipment had been put away properly but papers were scattered all over my desk. It had probably been driving Wasabi nuts. I set my backpack down and slid all of the papers into one stack. Sitting down on the floor, I started going through the stack and organizing the papers.

I heard the door to the lab open but couldn't see who came in. I went back to my papers and heard Tadashi from his section. "Hey Honey!"

"Oh hey, Tadashi. What's got you in a good mood?" I stopped listening and finished organizing the papers. I set them on my desk and smiled at my accomplishment. "What?! Why didn't you say something before?" I turned and walked away from my section. I heard a shriek and looked up in time to see Honey Lemon rushing towards me. She hugged me with such a force that I almost toppled over. "Kate! You're okay!"

I looked up at Tadashi, who was smiling. Honey let go of me and smiled widely. The door opened again and the rest of the gang walked in. Wasabi, Gogo, and Fred stopped when they saw me.

"Uh, hi?"

"Hi? Is that it? You've been missing for three days and all you've got is 'hi'?" I looked at Gogo, unsure of what to say. But before I could respond she turned on Tadashi. "You knew about this didn't you? And you didn't tell us?"

Tadashi responded better than I would have. "Calm down. She just got back late last night and there wasn't really a lot of time to tell you."

Honey spoke up. "Got back from where?" she questioned tentatively. "What exactly happened?" They all turned to me, waiting for an answer.

"I don't actually know. I don't remember much," I spoke quietly.

"Whoa. Amnesia. Quick, who am I?" I rolled my eyes at Fred.

"I remember you, Fred…just not what happened. I was in my apartment and then I woke up alone in an alley."

"Do the police have any leads?" questioned Wasabi.

"If they do, they haven't said anything to me. They seemed really disappointed that I couldn't tell them anything though."

"Did you go to a doctor or anything to get checked out? Make sure you don't have a concussion."

"Um well—"

"She didn't want to go." Tadashi interrupted.

"Hospitals make me uncomfortable!"

"Why don't you let Baymax scan her?" Honey asked. We all looked at Tadashi, who turned to me.

"Okay," I sighed.

"Baymax! Ow!" We watched the robot inflate and walk slowly over to us.

"Hello. I am Baymax, your personal healthcare companion. I detected a sound of distress."

"Hey, Baymax. I want you to scan Kate." Baymax turned to me.

"Scanning now." I suddenly felt awkward, unsure if I wanted everyone to hear what Baymax was going to say. Baymax's chest lit up. "You have multiple contusions and abrasions on your arms and legs. There is also a single laceration on your forehead, which seems to have been caused during a fall. You have slight swelling in the brain, indicating that you are recovering from a concussion and should watch for symptoms of post-concussive syndrome. As for your psychological health—"

"Okay, Baymax. That's enough." I interrupted. "I am satisfied with my care." Everyone was silent and it made me uncomfortable. "Okay. Well, we all better get back to work." I walked back to my lab station and everyone else reluctantly, started working on their projects.
