Tadashi's Alive

Chapter 8:

"Jo? You awake?" Tadashi called looking at the dark lump on the bed beside his head. The figure moved and Tadashi could see her blue eyes stick out of the darkness.

"Now I am. What's wrong?" She asked, knowing something is troubling him. He sighed and leaned his head on the side of the bed Hiro is sleeping on, his back against the wall between the two cots. 

"Everything. Coming here, getting beat up, and especially Hiro. I was really hoping he wouldn't come here. I had my suspicions, because he is one of the smartest people I know, but I doubted them. I guess I got proved wrong," he said and looks at the ceiling. Jo sat up and moved closer to the wall, to allow him to sit on the bed. Tadashi welcomely sat on the bed next to her.

"Not everyone can prove what will happen in the future, until it happens. You couldn't have proved or known that Hiro would come here. I'm surprised he didn't sooner. He's a smart kid, Tadashi, and Bram is looking for people like that. Why do you think we're here?" She asked and Tadashi just looked at her. "But you know what the good thing is?"

"What?" Tadashi asked, with a slight frown. What could possibly be good in this situation.

"Hiro. He knows you're alive and he's glad to have his brother back. I know I would be happy if I got Kane back. You have a chance to be with Hiro. You should take it Tadashi. You might not ever get another chance," she said and smiled sadly at him.

Tadashi looked to his little brother, sleeping soundlessly, and remembered their good memories. He remembered the night he ran into the burning building; helping Hiro with the microbots that he invented, and remembering his friends. He smiled at the thought.

"Thanks, Jo that really helped. But I'm glad I came here," he said and smiled at Jo.

"Why? This place is horrible," she said with a look.

He chuckles and rubs the back of his neck. "Ok, now this will sound very cheesy, but I never would have met you...or the others," he said, quickly adding the last bit as his cheeks turned a bit pink.

Jo smiled and looked down at the bed. After a few seconds, she says, "yes it was very cheesy."

They both laughed quietly, so they didn't wake the others. There were a few seconds of silence, both of their hearts pounding in their chests. Like one wanted to make a move, but didn't know how. 

"Besides you never would have taught me how to-" he started to say, but Jo grabbed his shirt says, "Oh shut up and kiss me." She planted a firm kiss on his lips. Tadashi smiled like a maniac when they let go and Jo laughed at his face.

"How's that for teaching something?" Jo asked.

"Uh, if learning stuff was like that all the time, I would want to learn even more," he said and Jo laughed and kissed him again, a bit softer this time.

"I'm glad I met you too, Tadashi."

He wrapped his arms around Jo, and fall asleep that way. A stupid grin still plastered on his lips.

~Meanwhile~
Bram saw on the camera when Tadashi and Jordan kissed, and he became furious.

'That Tadashi is bad news,' he thought, and grabbed his stick that . was hooked to his waist. 'And something needs to be done about it.'

He pressed the button and little bolts of blue electricity dance from the tip.
