It was a rainy day, Hiro was getting ready to leave the school for a bot fight, again. He was packing his bag with his megabot. Then he heard a knock at his door, he turned around and saw Gogo. "Hey, kid. You feeling ok?" She asked. Lately, everybody has been asking Hiro if he was ok because he seemed a bit depressed, but no one knew why.

Hiro was getting sick of them asking everyday. "Yes I fine." He growled. "Where are you going?" Gogo asked. "Home so I can work on a project." He lied. "Hiro, I'm not an idiot. I know your going to a bot fight." She said. "I don't care about what you say I'm going." He said.

"Fine, go, but we're not saving your butt this time." She growled. Hiro felt a little bit upset when she said that. I mean sure, he has been to bot fights a lot now, but it makes him feel happy. He was a little nervous about this one since no will be there to protect him.

He went anyways. He had a bag with a megabot and some money. He walk out the door of his school when he heard feet running towards him. He saw Honey Lemon was behind him. He tried to run, but Honey grabbed his shoulder. "Hiro, please don't go. We know that your not ok and we're trying to help. You could get hurt. I don't want you getting hurt." She exclaimed.

"I'm going anyways." Hiro growled. He walked off. The rain was pouring down on him as the closer he got to the bot fight. When he finally made it, it was like a thunderstorm outside.

He went to the crowd of people. "He finally made it." A man laughed. "Yes. I did." Hiro smirked. Then he sat down across from Yama which the man he was versing. "Ready?" A woman asked. "Set....fight!" She she said then Hiro and Yama fought.

Luckily Hiro won, but that was a bad thing. He took his money and began to quickly walk away. As soon as he heard footsteps behind him, he began to ran. Two guys finally caught up to him. "You think you can really run off like that?" One guy asked. "Looks his friends aren't going to save him this time." The other laughed. The two men began to attack Hiro, but luckily Hiro could block most of their moves.

Hiro heard a motorcycle behind him and as he was distracted one of the guys punched him. Hiro groaned a bit. The man with the helmet got off his motor cycle and help Hiro with the two guys. "T-thank you." Hiro stammered. The man said nothing and hopped on his motorcycle. He started the engine and just sat there for a bit. Then he saw Hiro who was half way down the block walking in the rain.

The man followed him to his house. He stopped his motorcycle once Hiro was inside his house.

He stopped his motorcycle. He got off it and climbed one of the roof so he could get a view of Hiro. He saw that Hiro was sad. He went to another roof that was closer so he could hear what he was saying. As soon as he got to a closer roof he saw that Hiro had been crying. "Tadashi, I'm sorry I went bot fighting again! Please forgive me. I felt like had to. It takes my pain, but now I realized that it doesn't." He said under his sobs. "Please forgive me." He said shaky. He sobbed a bit more. The man in the helmet, climb off the roof.

He went inside the cafe and saw Aunt Cass had fallen asleep and it was late so he turned the open sign to a closed sign. He quietly went up the stairs. He slowly opened the door to find Hiro's face in his pillow. Hiro lifted his head. He saw the man with the helmet was in his room. "W-what, but how?!" Hiro asked terrify. The man put one finger on his him like he was telling Hiro to be quite.

Hiro calmed down. "Who are you?" Hiro asked. The man was terrified to show Hiro his face. He took off his helmet, but turned his back on Hiro. "I can't let you see me like this. It would hurt me to let you see me, but hearing me is ok." The man said. "Ok..." Hiro said awkwardly. "Trust me Hiro, I know." He said.

Hiro thought for a moment 'I feel like I've heard his voice before. How does he know me?' Hiro thought. Then he realized something. "Show me your face!" Hiro demanded. The man didn't turn around. "Now." He growled.

"I know who you are. Just turn around so I can make sure I'm right." He said softly. The man turned around. "T-Tadashi." Hiro gasped. Hiro's eyes watered. "You're alive." Hiro cheered. He saw that Tadashi looked upset. "W-what's wrong? Aren't you happy?" Hiro asked. "Yes, I am. It's just didn't want you to see me like this. With scars and burnts on my face and gets even worse." He says bitting his lip. "Tadashi, I don't care what you look like. I'm just glad you're ok." He smiles. Then he runs to his brother and gives him a hug and cries into his chest.

"I'm just glad you're ok." Tadashi said and hugs back.
