[EPILOGUE]

Tadashi bustled around the bedroom, fiddling with things as he went. He straightened the comforters and remade the beds. He organized all of Hiro's action figures, arranging them as esthetically as possible. He dusted the desk once more, then checked the floor for any loose clothing articles he might have missed. Just to be sure, he threw some clothes in the laundry basket that smelled like they might be unclean.

Today was the day!

Today was the day his brother was coming home. For good, this time! (Hopefully...)

Hiro had been in the hospital for the last three weeks, undergoing a lot of serious therapy to combat the effects of recent traumatic events. Tadashi thought he would be able to recover at home once they stopped Callaghan, but nope!

As the police were shoving the old professor into the back of a cruiser- the man swearing and snarling all the while- an ambulance made its way over from the main battle site. Most paramedics were still working on the victims at Krei Industries, but a few were able to rush over to the Lucky Cat Cafe.

Tadashi desperately tried to wake his brother up, but the younger Hamada wasn't responding. After frantically calling to his friends, they realized the Callaghan had triggered some kind of response in Hiro that pretty much shut down his consciousness. A nearby paramedic was alerted to the situation, and Hiro was rushed to the hospital for intense physical and mental therapy.

Now Hiro was finally coming back, and Tadashi could only hope that he would be somewhat back to normal. Even if it meant chasing him all over town for bot fights.

The older brother looked around the room a few more times, scrambling for something to do. He remade Hiro's bed three more times before he realized what he was doing and forced himself to drag the laundry basket downstairs. He could still do something, at least!

"Tadashi," a familiar voice called. The college student jumped and looked into the face of his favorite nursing bot. He'd almost forgotten all about the poor marshmallow. What with trying to stop Callaghan, all plans to get Baymax released to the public had been pushed aside.

"Hey, buddy," Tadashi felt his shoulders slump. He made his way over to the robot, guiltily patting his arm. "Sorry I haven't checked up on you in a while. How're you doing?"

"I am running at optimal capacity, Tadashi," Baymax informed. "I was alerted to your distress."

"My distress?" Tadashi questioned, bemused. He had made any kinds of pained noises, and he hadn't specifically activated the bot. No one was even here but him and Baymax, so how...?

"I detected high levels of Epinephrin in your brain chemistry today, and you have been experiencing increasing levels of Cortisol every day for the past two weeks," Baymax answered.

"Yeah?" Tadashi leaned back slightly, impressed. Did Baymax just keep tabs on him? "And what does that mean, Baymax?"

"You are experiencing increasing levels of stress and anxiety. Some recommended remedies are lemonade and aroma therapy. From a quick scan," which Baymax then proceeded to do, "I detect that you would also benefit from a massage of the shoulders and upper back, and a good meal. A spike in your Ghrelin levels indicates that you are experiencing hunger."

"Huh," Tadashi grinned. "I know I didn't teach you all of that. Have you been studying without me?"

"Due to recent indications in the brain chemistry of the Hamada family, I have downloaded several articles on mental health," Baymax intoned. If Tadashi didn't know better, he might have thought the bot sounded worried.

Giving the marshmallow an affection arm rub, Tadashi pushed himself out of the laundry room. "Thank you for taking such initiative, Baymax. In fact, I think I'll go eat something right now." The robot toddled after him and watched from the cafe as he busied himself in the kitchen.

"Tadashi," Baymax called softly. The big brother turned just in time.

Hiro pushed open the door of the cafe and stepped inside. He looked hesitant and uncertain at first, but after realizing the cafe looked almost as normal as ever, he seemed to relax drastically. His entire body slipped into a slouch, and he shoved his hands into sweatshirt pockets.

"Hey, Tadashi?" He searched, moving between tables towards the stairs.

"Here," came Tadashi's choked reply, from the kitchen doorway. "H-Here, knucklehead."

"There you are, ya big nerd," Hiro flashed him a teasing grin, and Tadashi couldn't help himself. He darted forward, scooping his baby brother up in the biggest hug of his lifetime. "Geez, no need to be so emotional..."

Both of their eyes were a bit damp.

"How's that big brain of yours?" The older brother murmured into the shorter Hamada's hair.

"Doing great. I counted the number of plates in the room as I walked in the door." Tadashi huffed out a laugh. "You... You really missed me, huh?"

"Of course I missed you," Tadashi held his brother out so he could look him in the eye. He quickly reeled the smaller teen in again. "I... It was... Really... I just..."

"You don't have to say anything, dummy. You'll just embarrass yourself..." Hiro chuckled. He seemed to pause for a moment. "On second thought, yes, continue." Tadashi snorted and playfully began to noogie the younger boy. "Hey! Hey! Cut it out! Way to attack the recovering patient! Geez!"

"I love you..." Tadashi breathed, almost crying again. Hiro looked up at him slowly.

Images flashed through his mind, not one of them real, but every bit a part of his reality.

"I know."

A/N: While Hiro will not be just the way he was, he's much more mentally stable now. No more acting like a small child! Also, I love Baymax in this last chapter.

QUESTION OF THE UPDATE: If you could perfectly draw one character from the Big Hero 6, who would it be? I pick Honey Lemon, because there's so much you can do with her facial expression and hair coloring!
