When Stars Collide, a BH6 x Dr Who crossover

Chapter Twenty Five: Chemical Reactions

Because Wasabi's van wasn't large enough to transport eight people, and a robot, they opted to leave it where it was. Instead, everyone piled into the TARDIS.

Wasabi nearly freaked out when he stepped inside, quickly stepping back out. It took both GoGo and Fred to pull him back in.

Honey Lemon's eyes went wide as she set foot inside the tiny blue box, but she went with it, mostly because Hiro, GoGo, and Baymax did. Fred just thought it was cool.

Looking rather like a mad scientist, the Doctor ran to the console, now repaired, and began throwing switches. "Let's how she doesn't have a sense of humor today," he announced as he set the appropriate coordinates and activated the drive.

Wasabi screamed like a girl, clinging to one of the support beams for dear life as the typical grinding noise filled the air, the floor shaking just a bit as the time machine dematerialized from the manor, then settled neatly inside of Hiro's garage.

"Oh stop being such a baby," GoGo complained as she walked over to the freaking out student.

Rose couldn't help but smile at the reaction. She'd been unnerved her first time in the TARDIS, and she knew many others had been as well. It was almost a rite of passage when traveling with the Doctor.

Jack tentatively opened the door and looked around. The garage, as per usual, was empty, the door closed. "Looks clear," he announced as he pushed the door open all the way. "Everyone out."

After some convincing, Wasabi let go of the support beam and entered the garage, freaking out even more. It got to the point that GoGo simply smacked him to bring back his common sense. While that occurred, the others shuffled out.

"I will need to recharge soon," Baymax announced, reminding Hiro that he'd left the robot's charging station up in the second floor living room, the others following him to the back door, outside the garage.

With a bit of a groan, Hiro headed towards the short flight of stairs leading to the door, then paused as he looked up at the sky. "Wait a minute. Back at the Manor, didn't you say it was eight?" He glanced at Fred.

Fred looked up from staring back at the TARDIS through the open garage door. "Yeah? Why?"

Hiro glanced back at the sky. "I think we've gone back an hour or two. The sun hasn't even set yet," he admitted as he pointed upwards.

Looking a bit proud of himself, the Doctor sauntered over, hands in his pockets. "Well, I did try to get you back a bit early. Wouldn't do to have you in trouble, now would it?"

Rose snorted. "Did you do that on purpose, or did the TARDIS do it?" She had her answer when he gave an almost flustered look, giving her good reason to laugh. "That's what I thought."

Hiro shook his head and started up the stairs, clenching his teeth as his sore muscles protested the activity. "Ow," he uttered under his breath.

Hearing the cry of distress, Baymax shuffled over. "What seems to be the trouble?" he asked.

The boy paused, one hand on the door frame. "My leg's just a bit sore from the bruise," he admitted, remembering what Tadashi had said in his dream. "Probably just need to work out the muscle a bit." With that, he reached over to unlock the door.

"I suggest taking something to reduce the pain," Baymax said.

Absently patting the robot on the arm, Hiro stepped through the doorway. "I'll do that, buddy. Be right back."

Sounds from the café came from his left as he started up the stairs, praying his aunt was busy with customers. The upper level seemed silent so he continued on up, holding to the rail for support.
