Remember Me
Tadashi yawned, his bare feet barely making a sound as he padded downstairs towards the kitchen. Following the incident where he'd found Hiro sleeping on the floor, Tadashi had allowed both Hiro and Aunt Cass to convince him to share Hiro's bed. It was just like when they had just moved in with Aunt Cass after the death of their parents only they were no longer children. Some things, however, never changed. The mere act of being in each other's company seemed to have greatly stabilized both Hiro's and Tadashi's sleep patterns and it was a relief to finally have several full consecutive nights of sleep.
Yawning again, Tadashi stretched his arms up above his head, slipping silently into the kitchen only to stumble to a halt in confusion. The kitchen table was covered in various papers. Frowning, he approached the table and began to scan the papers before shaking his head, a fond smile crossing his lips. The kitchen table was covered in college application forms, obviously meant for him if the neat name entered onto all the papers was anything to go by. Aunt Cass had neatly filled his name into the applicants name section of every single form. His Aunt certainly knew how to leave a hint. It was not very subtle but was certainly effective.
Grabbing a stray piece of toast his Aunt had left on the counter, Tadashi slipped into one of the chairs and began to skim through the various forms, actually taking the suggestion seriously for once. He bit into the toast, a soft smile on his lips as he read. Aunt Cass was right. He couldn't procrastinate forever. Now that Hiro was back, he could think about picking up the scattered pieces of his own life. Picking up a pamphlet for one of SFIT's rivals Tadashi opened it and was just about to read it when a familiar notebook caught his eye. What was Hiro's journal doing here? He was sure he'd hidden it away in the lounge so Hiro wouldn't know they had found it.
Tadashi reached over towards the counter and dropped his half eaten toast back onto the plate before dropping the pamphlet he was holding back down into the kitchen table. Tadashi picked up the journal and opened it blinking when a single piece of paper slipped out. On it were two words:
Remember Me.
Well, that certainly hadn't been there the last time Tadashi had read the journal. Turning his attention back to the journal Tadashi was once again taken aback. His gaze fell upon a blank page instead of the familiar script he was expecting to see. Again… odd and so very, very suspicious. A chill coursed through him and he glanced around the room, almost as if expecting to see a ghost. This count be what he thought it was, could it? They had already rescued Hiro. Why was their mysterious benefactor still leaving them clues? Only one way to find out.
Tadashi got up and slipped out of the kitchen, notebook still in hand. He made his way into the living room and the drawer in which he'd stored the small spray bottle Honey Lemon had given to him. Retrieving the bottle, he sprayed the page and waited. As expected, familiar hand writing began to appear on the page before him and it would have been a relief if not for the fact that this was definitely not the notebook Honey Lemon had given him.
Hiro's Journal
Hiro Hamada – Captivity: Day 53
I finally did it. I finally figured out how to equalize the feedback coming from the stabilizer. I modified it to respond to the frequencies it comes into contact with. It analyses the frequency and sends out a signal to counterbalance it thus preventing the feedback from crossing over to my body.
I informed Inquisitor that I had made some progress and needed to test the device and he granted me access to the time portal. After extracting payment from me first, that is. The asshole broke my nose. Payback for the time I knocked out some of his teeth, I guess. So worth it! The gold caps make him look like a common thug which isn't exactly the image he's going for. He likes to think he's more sophisticated than that. He obviously never passed English as he doesn't know the meaning of the word but I digress…
I got to test the stabilizer today and it actually worked! My entry into the inter-dimensional space was painless and that's not all that's changed. I found a bunch of new threads. I call them ghost lines because they are more like shadows than actual threads. They are translucent. They are also not attached to me. Not directly anyway. They are interlinked with the thread that leads to my past… I followed that thread. I know I shouldn't have but I went to see Tadashi. He looked so happy. I wish I had had the guts to actually talk to him but I'm sure he would have had a thing or two to say about the fact that I'm messing with the time space continuum. Provided he believed me to begin with, that is.
He was in the lab working on Baymax. He was in the process of turning Baymax on in order to test him when I arrived. The moment I crossed the rift something strange happened. I felt a disturbance in the electromagnetic fields surrounding me. The next thing I knew all the electricity in the area, blew out. The stabilizer is probably still a little unstable. Note to self: Take a look at that.
Tadashi, unsurprisingly, was prepared even for that eventuality. I don't know how he does it. He pulled a flash light out of nowhere and shone it on Baymax. I watched from the shadows as he told Baymax he's not giving up on him. I'm glad Tadashi never gave up on Baymax.
I'm even more glad Tadashi never gave up on me.
The last line appeared to have been added as an afterthought, ending the journal entry.
Tadashi remembered that day. It was his 33rd test of his Robotics Project. All the power in SFIT had gone out shortly after he'd activated Baymax. He'd always been under the impression a short circuit in Baymax's circuitry had been the cause. It would appear that he had in actual fact, been mistaken.

A/N: Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night.
Cosmickatsu: LOL! Glad I could write some fan service for you, unintentional though it may have been. Tadashi was beyond seething when the device went off but being the smart guy that he is, he got over it... for now. Sounds like you downloaded something that will definitely keep you busy for a while. Nyaaa! Sorry but I don't have instagram. I have twitter and facebook but I wouldn't bother linking to those as I haven't logged into the twitter account in YEARS and the facebook account is only used for dragonvale at this stage. I don't like posting my life online even though I do enjoy chatting with my readers.
CrazyBlueOwl: I think Hitler implies evil full stop. Sorry I freaked you out (not really as it's keeping the story going a little longer XD XD XD). Anyways, I posted the chapter in the afternoon just before Christmas eve this side XD
Ern Estine 13624: Baymax is nothing if not reliable!
Anony mouse101: Touch and go as in the story line, or touch and go as in badly written? Glad you ended up enjoying it in the end irrespective of what you are referring to. I like the scene where Tadashi hugs Hiro and falls asleep.
Rosycat: Yeah. Brotherly bonding and fluff is always a good thing! I'm glad you are enjoying my writing but I need to clarify something. This is not my first story. Far from it. It's my first FAN fiction. I've written several original places. I went back to the account I abandoned a few years back when I lost the inspiration to write due to being stuck in a bad work situation and have realized that I am a horrible author. I left soooo many pieces unfinished. T_T. My favorite of all the original pieces I've ever written was written in 2007. It's incredibly dark and appears to be very shallow and stereotypical if you don't give it a proper chance but it's actually rather complex. It's about the son of a serial killer. I'm willing to send it to you if you like. Only thing is all my original fiction is yaoi. There, my return rant is done too :P
shooting2stars: Baymax is super useful. He knows just when to intervene! Wasabi freaked completely. he worked really hard to help and was gutted when they accidentally set the device off. Tadashi understood that Wasabi tried really hard and appreciated it. Happy holidays to you too!
