Fred was okay- the bullet had grazed his shoulder, so it hadn't been fatal. He just had his shoulder wrapped. He was being interviewed at the moment. The words had stuck themselves into Tadashi's mind- Fred was being remembered as a hero.

Tadashi wasn't in the room with Fred, though. He was sitting by Hiro's bed, watching his every move.

Hiro was extremely pale- a lot of blood-loss. His broken wrist was in a cast, his newly found broken nose had the medical-tape-cast-thing over it. His bullet wound- which had stuck him in the side, missing anything of importance... thank god-, was bandaged up after probably 2 hour long surgery of getting the bullet out. Hiro hadn't woken up yet.

True, it had only been about a day, but Tadashi was panicking.

He needed to talk to Hiro- not just with Hiro being unresponsive. He needed to talk to him- verbally. He needed to apologize.

Honey had already told him- multiple times, in fact- that it wasn't his fault. He had been- was still- dealing with his own things, and he couldn't always been there for Hiro.

But Hiro had gotten shot.

Tadashi had shut his eyes a while ago. Taking a breath, he opened his eyes up again-

-and jumped probably 2 feet in the air when he saw Hiro's wide, brown eyes staring back at him.

"Hiro!" Tadashi jumped, putting a hand over his racing heart. "Hiro... Oh my god... I'm sorry- I'm so sorry..."

Hiro grimaced, squeezing his eyes shut as he shifted slightly. He made a slight noise of pain and stopped. Opening his eyes, he looked around, taking in his surroundings. "Where... are we?" He asked, his voice scratchy and raspy.

"Hospital." Tadashi told him immediately.

"Why..."

"You got shot, Hiro."

"I..." Hiro took a second, looking away. His facial expression was confused for a second, then flooded with rememberance. "Oh..." He looked up at Tadashi. "Where's... Callaghan?"

Tadashi stiffed at his name. "He's somewhere where he'll never hurt you or anyone else again."

It turns out that losing Abigail had had a terrific toll on Callaghan's mind. He'd gone mentally insane- but it had broken lose after sending Krei into the portal. It had made his mental state get worse until it had become to the point of open murder. Currently, Robert Callaghan was in Danvers Mental Asylum. He was sentenced there for life- for aggravated battery, child abuse, kidnapping, and attempted murder. Those were the ones off the top of Tadashi's head, too. There were probably a lot more that were escaping his grasp at the moment.

But Hiro was awake.

"Where is he?" Hiro asked again.

"Danvers Mental Home." Tadashi said softly.

"He was insane?" Hiro asked softly.

Tadashi nodded.

Hiro sighed. "Who knew..."

"He won't get out." Tadashi said determinedly. "I promise you Hiro, he won't get out."

Hiro smiled slightly at Tadashi. "I know, 'Dashi."

"Are you okay? Oh-" Tadashi mentally face-palmed. "I should have gotten the doctor- one second."

With that, Tadashi ran out of the room, stumbling over his own feet.

"And then Freddie just charged him and... and he saved Hiro's life." Honey was saying. Fred was hungry and decided to take a break from telling the reports exactly what thoughts had been going through his head- other than, FOR BATMAN!- when he'd saved Hiro Hamada's life. The reports had found Honey and were questioning her when Tadashi ran past the room. Immediately, Honey jerked her head up. "Excuse me." She said softly, walking briskly out of the room. Fred stepped back in, chewing on something as Honey gave an excited shriek and ran back into the room. "Guys he's awake!"

Immediately, everyone in the room got up and ran for Hiro's room.

Hiro was drifting back off to sleep when the door was all but broken off its hinges and a flood of people ran inside- at the front was Honey, Gogo, Tadashi, and the doctor. A few seconds later, people with cameras and notepads were forced out of the room, leaving Hiro with just a doctor, Tadashi, Aunt Cass, Honey, Gogo, Fred, and Wasabi. Oh, and Baymax, but he'd only inflated because someone'd stubbed their toe while being forced out of the room.

"Hello Hiro." Baymax said, cocking his head as he looked at Hiro.

"Hey guys." Hiro said, his voice scratchy.

The doctor checked him out- making sure his bullet wound was somewhat okay and normal before smiling and leaving the room, letting Hiro have time alone with his friends, family, and nurse-bot.

"How do you really feel?" Gogo asked, crossing her arms.

"Um... How are you supposed to feel after being shot?" Hiro asked.

"Pretty crappy, I guess." Gogo shrugged.

"Yeah, then I feel normal." Hiro remarked, earning a small laugh from his aunt- who was crying again. "Come on, I'm okay, Aunt Cass-"

"I know." She said softly before gently choking Hiro with one of her bear-hugs- if gently choking someone is possible.

"But you're really okay?" Honey asked softly, once Aunt Cass had released Hiro.

"Yeah... I think so." Hiro said softly, smiling. "I mean... I'm here, so."

Everyone in the room knew that what happened to Hiro could have been a lot better- as it had been with Fred-, or it could be a lot worse. It went better than it could have, and Hiro made sure to make that a point.

For a while, everyone talked, laughed, complained about bullet wounds, and laughed some more- mostly at Fred imitating one of the annoying nurses that had taken care of him.

The doctor smiled as laughter emerged from the Hamada room another time. Regretting it deeply, he opened the door and informed them that visiting hours were over- and that everyone needed to leave, except family members. After saying goodbye, everyone left- even Aunt Cass.

"I have to be up early for work." She gently kissed Hiro's forehead. She looked over at Tadashi, then at Hiro. A wide smile spread across her face and walked out of the room, but not before saying, "I'm so proud of you two."

Hiro was about to pass out again- he looked exhausted. Tadashi smiled. "Tired?"

"How'd you guess..." Hiro muttered. Tadashi laid down on the bed- like he used too, back at the cafe- and let Hiro rest his head against his shoulder. Tadashi put an arm protectively around Hiro's shoulders. "You know Tadashi, I should be too old for this..." Hiro murmured. "I mean, I survived a bullet wound."

"You're never going to shut up about surviving that, are you?"

"Nope."

And for the first time since Tadashi was kidnapped, Hiro smiled a real smile.
