When Stars Collide, a BH6 x Dr Who crossover

Chapter Twenty One: Truth

GoGo yawned as she entered the command room. The first thing she noticed was that Baymax wasn't there. Then she realized Hiro wasn't either. Feeling a bit stiff, she moved further into the room and found she was the only one in there. Honey must have gone to bed at some point, she reasoned. But where was Hiro?

Still sore from the battle, she sauntered back down the hall. She could think of a few places Hiro might be hiding. The first place she looked showed an empty room, movie projector still playing horror movies from the fifties. She continued on, reasoning that he might have decided to find something to eat. It's what she would have done.

On the way, she ran into Wasabi as he came out of his guest room. "Morning," he yawned. As usual, he was in a fresh pair of clothes. The man was prepared for most anything. They'd teased him about it many times before, but it left him in clean clothes and smelling good.

"Hey," GoGo answered as he followed her down the hall. "You haven't seen Hiro, have you? I know Honey's still out for the count. Not sure where Fred or Baymax are either."

Wasabi shrugged. "Who knows? If I were him, I'd probably find a place where no one could find me."

GoGo had to give him that one, because she'd do the same in his shoes. Well, almost the same thing. She'd probably be off on an adrenaline inducing adventure, trying to get the images of the battle out of her head. She hadn't gone down, but she'd seen too many fall to either a bullet or a flamethrower. And she didn't even know any of their names.

The closer they got to the center of the Manor, the harder it became to ignore the sound of voices. When they'd entered the foyer, GoGo put out her hand, stopping Wasabi in his tracks. "Do you hear that?" she half demanded. "Sounds like the Doctor and Rose." She turned towards the direction of the sound.

"Is that Fred's voice?" Wasabi asked as he took a few steps closer to the open door across the way. "But if so, why are they all up here and not back in the command room?"

GoGo signaled for him to be quiet as she tiptoed towards the room in question. Wasabi was right. If they were back, they should have met up with everyone in the back room, instead of lollygagging around up here.

"It's kind of hard to explain," she heard Fred say as she paused just next to the door frame.

The door sat about a foot open as she carefully inched closer, trying to not get caught. For all she knew, they were talking about something they didn't want others to hear. But if that were the case, they'd surely have shut the door. Besides, what could they say that the whole team didn't need to hear?

At that moment, Hiro's voice called out, though it was muffled. With eyes narrowed. GoGo decided it was time to find out what was going on. She pushed the door open, Wasabi right behind her.

Both crime fighters stopped halfway through the doorway, mouths hanging open as they saw who all was in the room.

"Hey, guys," Fred waved from his chair. "Guess who's not really dead."

The two continued to stare as Captain Harkness stood from his seat across the room. "Welcome back," he said, smiling a bit at their expressions. "I know what you're thinking. Hiro saw me die. But, as you can see, I'm not dead!"

GoGo broke her silence first. "Just what is going on here? How did you get here? Why aren't you dead?" she asked in rapid succession.

Wasabi made a funny kind of noise that was almost an uneasy scream. "Please don't tell me you're some kind of zombie."

Turning to face her friend, GoGo gave him an incredulous look. "A zombie? Seriously?"

"It could happen," Wasabi hedged, his expression seemingly frozen between confusion and fear.
