help, i'm alive

fourteen: restoring hope

The team sped through the streets of San Fransokyo, the city lights streaking past in a blur. GoGo carefully administered Honey Lemon's dose of the antidote, her movements precise despite the rush.

"Hang in there, Honey," GoGo said, her voice steady. "We're almost there."

Honey smiled, "I know I'll be okay."

As they arrived at the hospital, Wasabi and Josie rushed to Hiro's room, urgency in their steps. The hospital was a flurry of activity, but they navigated their way through with practiced efficiency. They burst into Hiro's room, where Wasabi swiftly prepared the antidote while Josie checked Hiro's condition.

"My god," Josie uttered quietly, "He's almost gone."

"Not if I have anything to say about it!" Wasabi exclaimed as he readied himself to give Hiro the antidote injection.

In the meantime, GoGo and Fred brought Tadashi and Honey Lemon to the emergency room. The medical staff immediately took over, moving with practiced professionalism to tend to their wounds.

"Please contact the police," GoGo instructed one of the nurses. "I need to report a crime. A series of crimes, actually."

Fred stayed by Tadashi and Honey Lemon's side, offering support and reassurance.

Hours later, Tadashi, now in a wheelchair with an IV bag hanging from a stand, was escorted to Hiro's room. The sight of Hiro lying in bed, a cannula in his nose and an IV in his arm, was both heart-wrenching and hopeful.

Tadashi's eyes were filled with concern as he was wheeled over to Hiro's bedside. "Is he improving?" he asked, his voice trembling with a mix of anxiety and hope.

Honey Lemon, sitting nearby with a renewed energy after receiving the antidote, smiled with visible relief. "He's already showing signs of improvement," she said. "And I'm feeling better than ever. The antidote is working."

Tadashi's expression softened as he looked at Hiro, a sense of cautious optimism settling over him. The sight of Hiro's steady breathing and Honey Lemon's recovery brought a glimmer of hope amidst the chaos. The battle was far from over, but for now, they could breathe a little easier.

"Ehem" a tall and imposing man with a sharp suit and an air of authority, stepped into Hiro's hospital room, "I'm Detective Hayes," he introduced himself, his voice firm and confident. "I need to take statements from everyone involved."

One by one, the team members were ushered out of the room for their interviews. GoGo was first, delivering a detailed and precise account of events.

Fred followed, his nervousness evident but his explanation thorough.

Josie spoke next, detailing the information she discovered and its implications for her family.

Wasabi described the laboratory conditions and their efforts to create the antidote.

Honey Lemon described the battle that led to her injury and her subsequent recovery.

Tadashi was interviewed last, When Tadashi was interviewed, he described the horrific conditions he had been forced to endure. The atrocities he had been forced to partake in.

Detective Hayes listened intently, jotting down notes and asking clarifying questions as needed.

Eventually, the whole team was back in the room. The interviews were completed and a sense of relief washed over them. They had shared their story, and with justice on the horizon, they could now take a moment to process what had occurred.
