A/N: What? Me? Posting something new when I have other stories that need to be updated? Of course not!

In any case, I've had this idea for a while. It's based off of Mitch Albom's The First Five People You Meet In Heaven - a fantastic book!

So please, read, review, and enjoy!

Sirens wailing. Lights flashing. People shouting. What was going on?

The ground was hard and rough. He was leaning against a wall. His ears rang and his stomach burned. It felt hot and… wet?

Red. So much red that it was almost black. It drenched his shirt and covered his hands.

That wasn't good.

"Hiro." A surprisingly calm voice considering the situation. Hiro's vision blurred and swam until he was finally able to focus on the face of the robot kneeling next to him.

"Baymax?" he said thickly and coughed. More red. His head pounded.

"Hiro, you need to focus on my voice while I apply pressure to the wound."

"I'll try," he murmured. Black tendrils began to creep into the edges of his vision, growing thicker and darker, obscuring his sight. Were they microbots? Had they been fighting Callaghan? Were his friends okay?
"No," he whimpered. "No!"

"Hiro, stay with me," Baymax urged, but it was too later.

Everything went black.

And then, everything went white.

"What?" Hiro blinked rapidly, trying to adjust his eyes to the sudden shift in light. "Where am- whoa."

He was standing in the middle of the most stunning laboratory he had ever seen. It was high ceilinged, with tall bay windows that looked out over the San Fransokyo coast. The walls were white, adding to the inherent brightness of the place. Half of the room was set aside for several robotics projects in various stages of completion while the other half appeared to be used for chemical experiments. Several drones, each unique in color and design, flew about the room picking up and delivering various tools and materials to the different stations. Hiro's eyes widened as he spotted three Baymax's in different sizes bustling around, taking care of the experiments.

"What the- Hello!" he called. "Is anyone here?"

"Coming!"

The voice came from a side room Hiro hadn't noticed before. The door was partially cracked and, inside, he could see someone moving around, standing up from where they had been sitting at a large desk overlooking the bay. His breath caught as they came through the door.

Tall, black hair, stupid green blazer, but no baseball cap.

"Hiro!" Tadashi cried, a bright grin splitting his face. "I didn't expect to see you so soon!" He quickly closed the gap between them and wrapped his brother in a hug. "It's good to see you."

Hiro was in shock. This couldn't be happening, this couldn't be real, and yet…

It felt real. His brother was warm, the material of his shirt was soft, the hug, tight and firm.

"Tadashi."

They finally separated and Hiro looked around. "Where are we? What is this place?" Tadashi laughed, joyful and carefree.

"Welcome to Heaven."

"Wait, what! But-"

"Not how you expected it to be, right?" Tadashi asked, stuffing his hands in his pockets. "Certainly not what I thought it would be like, but definitely what I always wished it would be," he said, glancing around admirably.

"I can't be dead."

"Hate to break it to you bro, but that's usually the only way you get up here."

Hiro's mind scrabbled desperately to remember what had happened. There had been a fight with some villain. He had been injured and thrown. Baymax. Red. So much red. He looked down at his hands as if expecting to see the blood still covering them, but they were clean. He felt his stomach, but there was no gaping wound to be found.

"You wanna talk about it?" Tadashi asked gently.

"Can, can you see us down there?" Hiro asked. Tadashi pulled a hand out of his pocket to make a so-so motion.

"More or less. It's not that we can't or that we're not allowed to, there's just so much to do here," he said gesturing to the lab before turning back to his brother. "But I always made it a point to check in on you guys." He smiled. "Even more so after you started your own superhero group."

"Ha. Yeah. There… was a fight. I got… impaled? And thrown. Baymax… Baymax was trying to save me. He's probably still trying." Hiro looked up as Tadashi placed a comforting hand on his shoulder. He couldn't believe this. He buried himself in his brother's chest for another hug.

"It's okay Hiro," Tadashi murmured. "You did a great job. Do you even know how many people you helped? You did so good."

"What about Aunt Cass?" Hiro whispered, trying to choke back the tears. Losing her sister and brother-in-law, and then Tadashi, and now Hiro? How was that fair?

"I know. But like I said, we can go check on her. She's strong. She'll be okay. They all will."

Hiro sniffled and pulled away and looked around the laboratory again. Outside, the sun shone bright and he could hear the distant crash of waves from the bay.

"What do you even do here?"

Tadashi smiled, wide and carefree. "Let me show you." He lead Hiro to his lab to show him around. And Hiro was blown away. This was the most high tech stuff he and ever seen! And that was saying something.

"I don't get it," he said. "Why do you need all this stuff if you're dead? What's the point!" Tadashi shrugged.

"Let me say this. God's the biggest and best scientist out there. He loves science even more than we do. And sometimes, He needs something to happen down on Earth, so we'll more or less send someone our ideas and discoveries from up here."

"Unbelievable," Hiro murmured. "But totally sweet."

They spent the rest of the day going through the lab, invention by invention, never straying far from the other's side and, truly, it did seem like heaven.

Hiro was soldering something as Tadashi told him about some upgrade ideas he had had for Baymax when he glanced out the window.

"Hey. Look."

Hiro looked up and quietly whispered, "Wow."

The sun was setting over the bay, turning the ocean water to gold and the sky to the most brilliant pinks and reds and oranges and yellows he had ever seen; like a thousand roses blooming at once.

Tadashi stood and stretched. "Come on. I'm sure Mom and Dad are anxious to see you."

"Mom and Dad?" Hiro squeaked. Tadashi nodded.

"When you first get to heaven, you meet the five people who have had the most important impact on your life. I'm actually honored I was your first," he said with a little mock bow. "Besides Mom and Dad, I don't know who else you'll get to see. But once you're done, you get your own little slice of heaven and you can go see whoever you want, whenever you want. So you better come back to visit, okay?" He noogied Hiro's head and his brother laughed.

"Trust me. If I have anything to say about it, I'll have the lab right next door."

"I'll see you soon. Just go out that door and you should find them."

"Thanks." He started towards it, but then turned back and squeezed his brother. "Last hug."

"Love you Hiro."

Finally releasing his brother, Hiro moved towards the door and opened it into a brilliantly white mist. Here went nothing. He stepped through and closed the door behind him.
