As much as Tadashi hated to admit it, he did feel a lot better after getting some sleep and eating. He was having a much easier time focusing on his work at least. He still didn't forgive Mr. Lee for tricking him though. Except for answering questions or asking Mr. Lee to explain something to him Tadashi didn't speak to Mr. Lee. He probably didn't even notice Tadashi's icy attitude since before all of this Tadashi really hadn't been speaking much.

Fred was religious now about getting Tadashi to eat and sleep regularly. Though Tadashi hated taking any breaks from working, he realized in the end he wouldn't get any more work done depriving himself of sleep, he probably got less work done when he worked through the night rater then stopping for a couple hours to sleep. Though he knew this, it was still hard to tear himself away and wished there was a way he could not sleep but work as if he were getting a full eight hours of sleep. That was an invention of another day though.

All he could worry about now was getting the scanner up and running so he could start searching for Hiro because he knew this machine was Hiro's only chance. If he couldn't figure out how to get this machine working soon, Tadashi feared he'd never find Hiro.

With shaking hands Tadashi put the finishing touch on the machine and took a step back to admire his handiwork. He prayed that this machine would do what he needed it to and find Hiro and Ezra before it's too late. No, it would. He would not let himself think about what would happen if it didn't.

"So….is it ready?" Fred tentatively asked.

"I think so," Tadashi said. "I just need to start it up and then get it in the air."

Fred stared at Tadashi who didn't make a move to turn it on. "What are you waiting for?"

"For it to turn itself on…" Tadashi mumbled.

"Can it do that?"

"No."

"So why are you waiting for it to do that?" Fred asked. Tadashi smirked slightly and admitted,

"…I'm scared…"

"Of what?" Fred asked.

"That it won't work…" Fred tightly wrapped his arms around Tadashi and said,

"Hey I know it will work because you built it!"

"I hope you're right…" Tadashi mumbled slowly reaching over to turn it on before freezing and asking, "Do you want to turn it on?"

"Me?"

"Yea, you. You're kind of my good luck charm," Tadashi admitted. Fred grinned and said,

"Wow sweet! Well then I hope my good luck continues!" Fred declared excitedly hitting the button. Tadashi held his breath as the machine powered up, grinning when the machine powered up properly. "Yea it works!" Fred shouted.

"It turned on," Tadashi corrected. "The scanner might not work or it might miss Hiro by mistake o-"

"Dashi, you need to enjoy the good things or you will lose your mind," Fred interrupted. "This is a victory!"

"Right," Tadashi agreed, trying to force himself to smile. He had something and if it didn't work he had a base to work off of. No matter how long it took he would find Hiro and bring him home safe and sound. "Okay time to test it out." Tadashi quickly types something in to see if the machine could pin down where Tadashi was exactly. After a minute Tadashi's phone dinged with an alert and he opened the message, grinning when hesaw the machine sent him the coordinates he found Tadashi at.

"Does it work does it work?" Fred asked.

"Yes it does!" Tadashi cried, throwing his arms around Fred, fighting back tears of joy. "It works!"

With the machine up and running Tadashi wasted no time in launching it and having it start searching for Hiro. With the search for Hiro underway Tadashi now had to riddle out a way to make it possible to fight the Inquisitor. With Mr. Lee still recovering from his injuries Tadashi realized it would have to be him to go and save them, but to do that he needed something that would give him a fighting chance, he wasn't a super hero, not like Mr. Lee….

Mr. Lee wasn't really a hero, he had a suit to help him fight, maybe he could build something for himself! Tadashi grabbed some paper and quickly started sketching out some ideas for a suit.

"Tadashi!" Fred shouted, throwing his arms around him. "What are you doing? I thought the machine was working?"

"Your dad won't be able to help rescue the boys so I have to be the one to go after them and I need a way to fight the Inquisitor."

"You? Alone?" Fred asked, extremely worried.

"Mr. Lee hasn't been able to get in touch with anyone else so it has to be me," Tadashi stubbornly said.

"You can't go alone though!" Fred protested. "Let me go with you!"

"Hell no," Tadashi said. "It's too dangerous!"

"Then why are you going?" Fred asked.

"My little brother needs me," Tadashi stubbornly said.

"And my boyfriend needs me!" Fred declared. "Let me help!"

Though Tadashi hated the idea of Fred being in danger as well, he knew Fred would stop at nothing to go with him so reluctantly he said,

"All right."

After several hours of long stop work, Tadashi was able to put together two suits that would hopefully be able to help him in a fight. Though the suits would help protect him, he had no idea how they would fare against a man with powers.

"Tadashi I need to speak to you," Mr. Lee said, slowly limping into the room. As annoyed at Mr. Lee as Tadashi was, he was worried about how long it was taking him to recover.

"Are you alright?" Tadashi asked.

"I'll recover," Mr. Lee assured. "But I've been working on something that might inhibit the Inquisitors powers."

"Might?" Tadashi skeptically asked.

"There's no way to really test it," Mr. Lee said. "But I wanted to do something to help you and Fredrick."

"How-"

"I know how much your brother means to you and I also see how much Fred cares about you. I know you'll do everything to help Hiro, and that Fred will be right their behind you whether I want him to or not." Mr. Lee was right; Tadashi would do anything to get Hiro back. Even in his wildest dreams Tadashi never imagined he'd be fighting a super villain, but for Hiro he'd do it. He should have been scared, terrified even, but he wasn't. All he felt was the desire to rescue Hiro and Ezra and make the bastard that took them pay.

"I will get the boys back and I will make sure the Inquisitor never hurts another super again," Tadashi declared.

"Tadashi, don't underestimate him," Mr. Lee warned. "He is very powerful and very dangerous."

"I've been working on some suits to help me fight, and with the power inhibitor I'll be fine," Tadashi dismissively said.

"That attitude has killed a lot of people," Mr. Lee warned. "The inhibitor will only work if it's on him."

"I have to get it on him?" Tadashi asked.

"Yes."

"Fine I'll look into something that I don't need to put on someone t-" Tadashi was cut off by his phone's alarm going off and groaned. Did he forget to set the machine to look for Hiro? No, he checked about a thousand times. No he probably forgot to tell the scanner to not look for Tadashi. Great now he'd have to remotely reprogram the dumb thing so it wouldn't keep alerting Tadashi to when it found him. Grumbling, Tadashi fished his phone out of his pocket and was about to dismiss the alert until he noticed the name flashing on the screen. Hiro. It found Hiro. Heart pounding Tadashi opened the message, terrified it had mixed up Tadashi and Hiro.

Tadashi quickly scanned through the information, a wide grin spreading across his face. No it hadn't. Whoever it had found, and Tadashi was praying that it actually was Hiro, was somewhere in the very outskirts of the city. Tadashi had assumed Hiro wouldn't be in the city since they hadn't been able to find him yet, but according to this Hiro was still in San Fransokyo. The city was huge though, so it was possible for the boys to have stayed hidden for this long.

Now that he had a lead, Tadashi couldn't, no wouldn't, waste time trying to improve Mr. Lee's power inhibitor. He needed to go, now. Hiro didn't have much time, according to the scan Hiro was not doing good.

"I know where Hiro is," Tadashi finally said, mind still reeling.

"Then go," Mr. Lee said, handing Tadashi a metal ring. "Snap this around his neck, it should cut off his abilities."

"What if he finds a way to rip it off?" Tadashi asked.

"Unlikely, it's made from a mix of very strong metals, not very easily removed. The only way to get it off is with the remote which will stay here with me."

Tadashi nodded and said, "Thank you, for everything."

"Just be careful, and bring them home," Mr. Lee said.

"I will."

Things where not going well at all. The human seemed to only be getting sicker and now had somehow gotten his apprentice sick again. Though the Inquisitor was certain his apprentice would recover, he feared the human would die if he did not get better soon. Though the death of a human, no matter how brilliant, did not particularly bother him he feared his apprentice might go rouge if the boy perished right now. He doubted he could convince his apprentice he returned the boy home, and simply disposing of him would not work. But, if one of his men where to be the one to kill the boy, he could convince his apprentice of how evil the humans where. Yes, yes this could work in his favor. He'd have to be very careful though, one wrong step and he will lose any grip he had on the boy. The reward though was well worth the risk, soon his apprentice would be his, forever.
