Here's the Frozen Proof
"And in other news, the buildings that appeared to have come from the past replacing current architecture all across town have vanished, bringing back the buildings that were originally there. No one really knows why they appeared in the first place but rumor has it that their appearance is linked to the illegal experiments that were being run by Krei Tech. Alistair Krei is suspected to have played a major part in these experiments and is still being detained by the police. He is due to appear in court on..."
Tadashi tapped the mouse attached to Hiro's PC, effectively pausing the newscast he was re-watching. Even though it was already old news, he was still struggling to come to grips with everything that had occurred. Alistair Krei's had been arrested along with a man named Gerald Martin and several other researchers. His arrest and the subsequent revelations of the experimentation he had been involved in had caused waves among the citizens of San Fransokyo as well as the broader scientific community at large. Tadashi had missed most of the drama, his focus understandably elsewhere at the time. The news report he was currently re-watching had aired 9 weeks later. Even though he had been forewarned and had been expecting the objects pulled through by the time anomalies caused by Krei's experiment, to vanish, the newscast had still managed to surprise him. The moment it had aired he'd rushed to the living room and pulled open the drawer that contained all clues future Hiro had left him, along with the two journal's he'd received. Just like the buildings, the notes were all gone. All that remained was Hiro's first journal as it belonged to his Hiro and not future Hiro.
His Hiro… Tadashi still couldn't really get his mind around the fact that he'd been dealing with two versions of his brother. One from the present and one from the future. It was a paradox that shouldn't be possible but not one he was willing to consider too deeply seeing as his own continued existence was closely linked to it. Losing the journal and notes that had belonged to future Hiro had hurt. It had felt like he'd lost a connection to something very important.
Remember Me.
The future version of his brother had sacrificed a lot to make the present in which Tadashi found himself possible. He'd endured nightmares, torture, despair and pain and in the end had made the ultimate sacrifice to create the future Tadashi found himself living in. It wasn't right all traces of his existence had been so easily wiped away.
Remember Me.
All Hiro had wanted was for someone to remember him, for someone to acknowledge the fact that he'd existed, to acknowledge the fact that he'd made a difference. It was the reason future Hiro had given him the second journal. Tadashi planned to honor that simple request.
"Data Retrieval complete." Baymax announced informing Tadashi that data retrieval code he'd written had finally finished executing. Tadashi was attempting to retrieve the deleted video footage off of Baymax in the hopes of retrieving something that would prove future Hiro had existed. He theorized that the video footage had not disappeared because it had been recorded by Baymax and Baymax had a right to continue to exist in the current timeline.
"Ok, buddy." Tadashi said leaning forward to tap Baymax's chest. The access port opened sliding out three chips. Tadashi grabbed the purple one that he'd inserted into the third port and pulled it out before closing the access port once more, leaving the original two chips in. "Let's see if it worked. Please playback the video."
"Accessing data." Baymax informed him, displaying a video player on his chest. The video started to play.
Static lines and colored blocks distorted the image that was displayed.
The data was corrupt. Tadashi was just about to tell Baymax to abort the playback when the image cleared up to reveal the garage. The garage was a mess. Hiro's PC was on, still displaying the information Tadashi had been researching when Aunt Cass had come to fetch him. The desk was a mess of notes, all scrawled in Tadashi's neat script and Fred's Godzilla comic book was lying on the couch. All in all, it was exactly what Tadashi had expected to see. What he hadn't expected though was…
Bright light flashed across the scene, momentarily blinding the camera before fading to shimmer. A tear had appeared in the space beside Hiro's PC, glimmering and pulsing with life. Flashes of different colors shimmered from it, flashing by too quickly to register their sequence or their hue and stepping through it was a figure.
He started off as a silhouette, an outline of a slim young man with a messy mop of hair and he grew clearer with each step that he took closer. The shimmering light faded, giving way to more natural light that revealed details the bright shimmering light had obscured. The figure standing in the garage was Hiro.
Hiro approached the PC his bare feet not making a sound as he approached his destination. Shoving a hand into the jeans he was wearing he pulled out a note before leaning forward to past it to the screen. Turning around he began to make his way back towards the rift. That's when he spotted Baymax. Amber eyes went wide in shock. "Baymax! You better not be recording this!" Hiro exclaimed rushing straight towards the camera.
"Hello, Hiro." Baymax greeted him, tilting his head down to bring Hiro's face into view.
Hiro looked exhausted. His hair was messier than usual, he had dark circles under his eyes and his features were gaunt but his eyes were filled with fire and determination. He may be a bit roughed up but he was far from beaten. "Baymax, open your access port."
Baymax ignored Hiro's request. "I detect that you, like Tadashi, have traveled through time. You are older than you are supposed to be."
"Come on, Baymax. Open your access port." Hiro repeated his request, poling at the port of Baymax's chest.
"What do you intend to do?" Baymax asked him, tilting his head to the side.
"Isn't it obvious? I need to erase this video." Hiro glanced up, a closeup of his amber eyes filling the screen.
"Why?"
"Because it's not yet time for Tadashi to know about my existence." Hiro replied, deep sorrow in his tone. "I have to do this. If I interfere too overtly everything may fall apart. Please, Buddy. Open your access port."
Baymax complied and opened his port, tilting his head to watch as Hiro reached for his memory chip.
"Thanks Baymax." Hiro, reached for the chip, closing his fingers around it and was about to pull it out when he hesitated. Hiro glanced up into the camera, his eyes appearing to look through it. "Hey, Tadashi. If you find this it means I didn't do as good a job as I intend to do so I'll take this moment to leave you a message. You know, just in case. No matter what the future may hold, don't ever change who you are. You're going to help many people. Oh, and since this isn't actually happening...' Hiro paused to direct a pointed look at the camera. "I love you, knucklehead. That's all for now. I'm satisfied with my care."

The video went blank.

A/N: I feel this was an important chapter to close off what happened with future Hiro and everything else...
Guest: Thanks for the well wishes. There is still half a sandwich left as Hiro didn't manage to finish it. I'm sure he wouldnt mind of you took it. Just make sure Tadashi isn't looking while you do. Hiro would love for Tadashi to think he ate all of it on his own XD.
CrazyBlueOwl: Welcome Back! Yes, most of the chapters are named after song lyrics. I used Immortals, Centuries and Pompeii. My friend went home yesterday. She will be ok XD. Thanks for asking. AS for JIRO... is this new obsession a result of my story or was it there before? Because I seriously like the pairing now as well but my love for it occurred after I wrote Jack's cameo. Your understanding is pretty much correct. There is just one detail you missed. Tadashi could only move within the limits of Hiro's lifetime because the bracelet was synchronised to Hiro. I came up with a lot of this while driving which unfortunately is not happening now as my car's clutch has now failed for the second time in a week. I picked the car up last week Wednesday and it stranded me again on Monday. I'm so mad and stressed its not even funny.
