"That's odd," Cass said as she looked up at the ticking clock. "he's usually back by now. Didn't you say he was with you, Dani?"

"He probably went to go clear his head, you know how things can get tough for him, Aunt Cass." Danika said, drinking the remainder of a raspberry and blueberry smoothie. "Still, he doesn't usually stay out too long. I'm gonna go see if I can find him."

"I'll go with you." Hiro stood, not bothering to tuck in his seat. "I'm beginning to get worried about him. Let's go, Danika."

Danika nodded, not hesitating to open the front door and leave with her brother. She had a bad feeling about what she and Hiro were going to find, it was starting to make her feel sick.

'Please be okay, bro. Please be okay.'

Tadashi leaned against the brick arch wall, his breaths slow as he tried to get himself together. His side hurt, and he lifted up his shirt to reveal a large bruise on his toned torso.

"Darn...I got beaten up...by a girl, no less."

The sound of the water coming to and from the shore was what managed to help him relax. The seagulls flying in the sky and their calls ringed in his ears, making him picture a beautiful seaside scene with a lovely ocean, golden sand and shells scattered across the grainy floor.

Just like when he and his friends had been at the beach, celebrating Aspen's birthday. He wished that she was with him, holding her in his arms and lulling the pain away with her sweet voice.

"There's Tadashi's moped! He's gotta be somewhere nearby!"

"I think I see him! Tadashi! Tadashi, is that you!?"

'Hiro...Danika...'

If he could stop the ache in his head, he gladly would have done so. Unfortunately, the twinge of pain decided to remain no matter what he did. He sighed, whimpering as he tried to sit up properly.

"What happened to you!?" Danika asked, seeing her brother's injuries. The bruise on his torso stuck out to her the best, and she pulled down Tadashi's shirt to keep him warm, zipping up his leather jacket. "Who did this!?"

"Did you get to see their face? Who would do something like this?" Hiro was both in shock and disbelief, how could anyone hurt his brother?

"...Look..."

Tadashi slowly handed Hiro the card detailing Mad Hatter's information. Hiro took a good look at the card, reading the words carefully.

"Amanda Watson? Code name Mad Hatter? Who uses the name of a character from Alice in Wonderland?"

"It's creepy," Danika added, a shiver going down her spine. "whoever they are, they must be a psycho of some kind. We've gotta get you home, bro. Can you stand up?"

"I...i'll try."

Tadashi, with all of his best efforts, took to his feet. Wobbling slightly, he used to wall to support hinself before Hiro and Danika offered their shoulders. He'd done so much for them, so it was time to give something back.

"Thanks, you two."

Danika trailed the inactive moped along, putting it in the garage once she and her brothers had arrived home. Cass was quick to react, and she quickly activate Baymax, who then tended to the injured Hamada.

Tadashi laid in his bed, his muscles still sore from Mad Hatter kicking him. She was a heartless woman, that was clear. A cold person who didn't care who she hurt.
