So... sorry about my disappearance, I was too busy and uninspired. Now with the lap of the season, I have more to write than a surprise at the end. Well, assuming everyone watched City of Monsters, good luck here.

Appearances

Karmi X Hiro

Karmi's parents

Warnings: Spoilers, if you haven't seen the new episodes, don't read them!

Disclamer: I don't own Big Hero 6. Just a broken heart for the show and a salty attitude for the writers.

"Do you understand, dear?"

Karmi's father's voice echoed in the room. In the white room of the hospital, the man sitting next to his daughter's bed... She didn't remember much. She was trying to find a cure for Liv, she and Hiro came together for it, they hugged each other, she liked it. He left, she made the biggest mistake of her life and then felt an excruciating pain turning into a horrible creature after.

And that's when it all turned into a blur.

She remembers going to that horrible woman, fighting with something, of...Hiro talking about something that if it were in another situation would make her red and waking up from an apparent moment of unconsciousness in the boy's arms inside an ambulance. The vehicle light left her blind for a moment and she had to blink a few times to focus her eyes.

That's when Karmi realized someone was holding her and a quick check confirmed her suspicions. Her condition was terrible!

"What..." The young woman looked sideways trying to get up, but all her muscles were throbbing.

"Hey," Hiro soothed her in a gentle, fraternal tone. "You've had a rough time. We're going to the hospital, we called Grandville and she's already called your parents." In the other accents of the ambulance, four other familiar figures...

"Where's the Baymax?" The robot had a great emotional value for Hiro, she would never forgive herself if she was responsible for making him lose his friend.

The tone of the question must have denounced her, since he gave her a comforting smile. "Bayamax is at SFIT, Grandville is fixing it. It's gonna be okay."

They arrived at the hospital and Karmi was put on a stretcher straight to an operating room. She was glad the chip wasn't too deep, so it didn't require a major operation. After that, she was sent to a room to wait for her parents. Considering they were in another city, it would take some time.

"Hi." Hiro timidly entered the enclosure, closing the door behind him.

"Hi," Karmi smiled weakly. She was sitting on the bed and had been through a long battery of tests, she couldn't believe he was still there. "How are you?"

"Great, after almost two hours of examination, that's what the doctor told me. Twice because my aunt forced him to examine me again."

She laughed a little. "Is your aunt here?"

"Yes, she panicked a little when she heard, but see me in the waiting room, it calmed her very well."

Karmi's face got dark. "Hiro, what happened after you showed up at my lab?

The boy was taken by surprise. "Karmi, you don't have to blame yourself..."

"But it's my fault." Hiro was shocked by how calmly her colleague said the sentence. "And I want to know what happened."

The next half hour that followed was, in short, the story of what happened with Karmi's face wandering between disbelief, shock and neutrality. The latter predominating at the end of the conversation and a little after that.

"Are you all right?" Her condition was strangely quiet for someone who had experienced such a traumatic event as that, but better than anyone else, Hiro knew that each deal with trauma in different ways.

"Just... sounds a little surreal." The biotech looked at the void and then at the boy. "I'm sorry to put you through all this."

He was gonna say something, but all of a sudden, her dad came in.

"Karmi!" The man hugged the daughter who returned the gesture. Hiro still still motionless in the corner of the room. "Honey, how are you? Your mother is outside taking care of the paperwork and I came to see you."

"I think I'm gonna go."

The man turn to him. "And who are you?"

"He's my friend." The girl's father, like Hiro, was shocked by the use of words. "Hiro Hamada. He helped save me."

The man didn't say anything, he just nodded his head watching the boy go.

After that, Karmi received the news she was expecting when her friend told her what had happened: her parents would take her back home.

"I know you like it here, but after that, can't we leave you here alone and if something worse happens?"

"I understand." Karmi's tone was conformed, lifeless, his face the same way. The girl raised her eyes to her father, the tears threatening to come down at any moment. "I really understand.

It was strange to see everything empty. Usually, her lab was full of life, full of gadgets and samples. Now, it was just a shell of what it was, not unlike the owner, though.

Professor Grandville had been kind and opened the building earlier for her to keep things before everyone arrived, at her request. Karmi knew she wasn't good with goodbyes, so he couldn't face Hiro and say he was leaving. So she decided to spare him and herself.

Closing the last box, she looked at where she and Hiro had got the cure. Now that place was passing another empty corner, but it made the girl's heart warm and a tear run in her face with a melancholic laugh.

That boy had been different from everyone Karmi had met, she would miss him. She turned when she left the lab for the last time, a tightness in her chest threatening to make her cry again.

"Goodbye, Hiro."

Hiro was in a kind of ecstasy the face of the day in college.

Karmi was gone. Without saying goodbye to him.

That wasn't fair, but life wasn't fair. Especially his.

That's why he was so distracted when he arrived at the lab and didn't notice an extra item that Baymax reported.

"Hiro, there's a specimen of the Plantae kingdom on your table."

It was a rose. Red. The same rose that Karmi had worn with a differential that now there was a card together that he opened quickly.

"Thank you for everything, Hiro. - – K"

The boy opened a wide and melancholic smile, he now had a beautiful new decoration item for his room, just as Karmi had now more inspiration in his fanfic.

And a new hero in her heart.

NOTE FROM THE AUTHOR: I will be salty to Disney forever for that! The end of City of Monster ended my emotional and I'm in denial! But, honestly, I think Karmi will come back. And about that, I would like to inform you that I am going to participate in Karmiro Week from Monday!
