Wow, 5 chapters later and I actually finish my first multi-chapter fic! o.0 Of course, I never would have made it this far without all of you readers! For the last time, I would like to say a big thank you to everyone who has read, reviewed, followed or favorited this fic! Thank you so much! You're the best!

Just as soon as the lights went off, they turned themselves back on. The team had to blink to adjust in the sudden brightness, glancing around the room in worry to find their friends.

GoGo heard breathing, like someone was hyperventilating. She turned to look at the machine, seeing the figure of Baymax on his back and a human boy flopped onto his stomach next to the device. The kid was trying to get his breath back, eyes closed and head bobbing up and down in tune with his falling and rising chest.

The helmets lay on the floor to the side, having fallen off during the power outage.

"Did it work...?" Wasabi asked quietly, about to get up to try and help.

GoGo stopped him, raising an arm so he couldn't get by her. The four Big Hero 6 members watched the scene unfold before them, each wondering the same thing.

"I need you to breathe," the white marshmallow said to the boy with a cybernetic tone intact, "can you do that for me?"

"Hiro" shook his head, eyes still closed and head still bobbing up and down. He grabbed at his throat and "Baymax" wrapped soothing arms around the boy, which seemed to help calm him down.

"Breathe," the robot instructed, "in and out. In and out."

The teen followed his orders well, and once the process repeated and he was able to breathe on his own, his eyes slowly opened.

A wide smile spread and he started laughing, a bright and joyful sound that resonated throughout the entire garage. He threw his arms around Baymax and the bot hugged back, wrapping his arms tighter around the newly robot-turned-human.

"It worked!" Hiro exclaimed in his voice. His voice. Not Baymax's. The real, human voice that he had been born and raised with. Sliding off of his robot's puffy stomach, he bounced onto the hard garage floor. He shook his head in a daze, but regained himself quickly to try standing up. His legs wobbled and he almost toppled back over, but safe and familiar arms prevented his fall.

"Thanks, buddy," Hiro said gratefully, leaning into the bot's hold as his legs attempted to give out on him again. "Spending almost an entire month as a giant marshmallow will do that to you. No offense." Hiro was just glad that it hadn't been three months.

Baymax blinked, pausing in thought.

"None taken."

Hiro grinned and he could have sworn that Baymax grinned back, remnants of humanity still etched within his coding.

The rest of the Big Hero 6 came into view, relieved to find that the change had worked.

"Never do that again," Wasabi scolded Hiro tiredly.

"I don't think we ever will," Hiro confirmed. He sighed in relief at the fact that he could actually, finally sigh once more. If air was like sand, he would kiss the invisible element like survivors stranded at sea. He glanced down at his original body, still thankful that the machine was able to change him back with clothes on.

"Okay, okay," he said to Baymax, "scan me. Just to be sure."

Baymax happily complied, relishing in Hiro's command when his scanner seemed to be perfectly operable with no issues from the change.

"It appears that the transformation has indeed succeeded and you and I have switched back to our respective forms."

Hiro held out a hand, a smirk crossing his features. Baymax reached his forward in response.

"Bah-a-la-la-la!" the robot exclaimed. Hiro was just glad that he could do a fist bump the right way again, though Baymax's signature bump never failed to be just as awesome as flying.

"Your neurotransmitter levels have risen dramatically. This indicates that you are very happy."

"I am, I really am."

It was like he'd just eaten a huge amount of sugar and it was buzzing in the back of his brain; Hiro figured it was because his emotions were held at bay for so long. He hoped that Baymax wasn't experiencing some type of withdrawal from said emotions, but it seemed that the robot was already recovering from his time as a human being.

Hiro was just glad that his own heart was back to its normal, healthy pace and that Baymax was no longer in any pain. The fact that he could have lost his best friend—and permanently—was a scary thought.

Looking about the garage, it also appeared that the machine hadn't exploded. At least there wasn't glass everywhere like the first time.

"Man, that was SICK," Fred commented. Honey Lemon stood by, holding a skittish hairy baby in her arms. The cat must have followed the group to seek shelter from the impending power outage. Hiro was, once again, just glad that Mochi hadn't interfered in some way. Who knew what life was like as a cat?

"It's okay, Mochi," Hiro said calmly. The calico meowed and squirmed from Honey Lemon's hold, surprising Hiro when he decided to rub against his legs, an action he hadn't executed since being thrown up the stairs.

Green eyes smiled up at brown and Hiro extended his arms, picking up the fluffy creature. Mochi didn't resist, snuggling into Hiro's chest. The genius stroked patched fur in shock, appreciating the soft feel. He glanced up at Baymax and the robot tilted his head in a knowing gesture.

A pinch from Fred completely ruined the moment, causing Hiro to let go of Mochi. The cat dropped on all fours, scampering away from Hiro and running out of sight.

"Dude! Ow!"

"Just making sure that this isn't a dream," Fred explained, trying to get a good look at Hiro's pinched arm.

"Baymax already scanned me!" Hiro argued, exasperated and wondering why in the world Fred hadn't just pinched himself to see if it was all a dream.

"Ugggh..."

"Uh, guys?" GoGo called, motioning towards Aunt Cass. "I think she's waking up..."

"We can't let her see the machine," Hiro said anxiously, not wanting to subject his aunt to her stress eating. "Baymax, let's take her back in the house."

Baymax shuffled to Aunt Cass, lifting her gently when a sudden growl sounded.

The Big Hero 6 turned to Hiro, following their ears towards his stomach. He smiled sheepishly.

"Gummy bears, here I come."

"Would you do the honors?"

Baymax, donned in a brand new red and shiny supersuit that Hiro had created as a replacement for the one lost in the fire, nodded in quick agreement and took one last look at the body swapper before him.

Hiro grinned, standing by the robot in his own supersuit. He paused for a moment, wondering if it was right for him to choose his next words. He shook the thought away, knowing that this time was entirely different from the last that he had used the haunting command.

"Baymax. Destroy."

Baymax had never been happier to hear those two words in his life, drawing back an arm in a swift punching motion.

The machine shattered upon impact, a new and different kind of glass flying in all directions that wouldn't cause any physical damage like a cut foot. It comforted Baymax in a way to know that the Callaghan incident was no longer his last time hearing the directive.

A crying sound was heard seconds after the machine was destroyed. Hiro and Baymax turned to see Fred sobbing on Wasabi's shoulder.

GoGo rolled her eyes. "Woman up."

With help from the Big Hero 6, the garage was cleaned up in no time. Aunt Cass had come back down to visit and offer doughnuts, claiming that she just had the weirdest dream ever and looking back and forth from Hiro to Baymax.

Hiro politely declined a doughnut, stomach full of delicious and very much missed gummy bears.

"So...what now?" Honey Lemon asked Hiro curiously, thanking Aunt Cass for the doughnuts as she exited the garage. The café owner searched for evidence of the machine, unable to find any.

"Last hug," Hiro said before his aunt could leave, wrapping his arms tightly around her.

Popping another doughnut into her mouth, she disappeared from sight.

"Besides a ton of homework that I have to catch up on?" he answered Honey Lemon, cringing at the thought and glancing up at Baymax. If the genius didn't know any better, it appeared that the robot was having a staring contest with the plate of doughnuts.

"What do you say, buddy?"

Apparently the bot already had something in mind, answering quickly and snapping his attention away from the doughnuts.

"Flying still makes me a better healthcare companion."

Hiro looked back at his teammates. "Wanna go for a spin to celebrate?"

Wasabi shook his head, unsettled at the idea of heights. The others followed suit, but for different reasons.

"You guys go. We'll catch up with you later."

The inseparable duo landed once more on one of the many wind turbines of San Fransokyo, enjoying the beautiful view and the fact that they were both finally back to normal, back in their original bodies where they belonged.

"Hiro?"

"Yeah?"

"Your health is no longer my only concern."

Hiro took advantage of the moment to use his returned ability to smile up at Baymax, turning his gaze back to the orange sunset ahead as a familiar, pleasant warmth filled his chest.

Sometimes life doesn't go the way you plan, but looking at it from a new angle as my brother always said—especially through the eyes of a friend—can definitely help make a difference.
