[tadeadshi]

Sort of. He left out a lot of the finer details but I assume that, yeah.

[pushtheboundaries]

We found ourselves in a position where I didn't have the mask, and where his anger got the better of him. Not that I blame him for that.

[and here's the thing. he knows, he knows, Tadashi will be abhorred by this. he knows, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that this will set Tadashi off.

and hasn't he done enough?

...hasn't he?]

Your brother cares a lot for you. As strongly as I've ever seen. I imagine it's similar to how I feel about my daughter.

[tadeadshi]

[There's something they're not telling him. And he can sort of guess but he doesn't want to, he'd rather hear it straight from them that what he thinks happened didn't happen.

This was supposed to be a break. Drive 3000 miles away with their friends and give everyone a break, an early birthday present to himself.]

I know, I've seen it here.

What happened.

[pushtheboundaries]

He turned Baymax in to a weapon.

[tadeadshi]

Right, no, he told me he taught Baymax how to fight and gave him armor, I know that

[pushtheboundaries]

What else did he tell you?

[tadeadshi]

[It takes a little while for this response to come - partly because hey he finally got on a ride but also because he has to try and remember. They'd talked about this so long ago and he hardly remembers the details.]

That you attacked them, tried to kill Krei. After that was the porter and Abigail.

[pushtheboundaries]

Hiro came after me. I don't know how he tracked me down, at first. I tried to scare him off.

He came after me again. The third time, he had the upgrades. He knocked the mask off me, and we traded some words.

And then he told Baymax to destroy me.

[tadeadshi]

[... That's something all right.]

Ok but he wouldn't, his healthcare protocol doesn't allow it.

[pushtheboundaries]

When Baymax protested, Hiro removed a chip. If he said anything after that, I was too occupied to notice.

[tadeadshi]

[There's no response here. Just a long, horrified silence.

He has to ask Hiro about this. Not that he doesn't believe Callaghan, but having the story confirmed will... not make him feel better. But have it confirmed at least.]

[pushtheboundaries]

I'm going to stay as far away from him as I can.

That's the best I can do at this point.



I'm sorry.

[tadeadshi]

[Another day or two before he gets any response and it's a series of pictures

is it father's day by then....

[pushtheboundaries]

Way to make a guy homesick.

you know what it probably is

[tadeadshi]

it's weird.

not bad just
weird

pfft, pls assume that some time happen(s/ed) between the text and the rest then

[pushtheboundaries]

Like coming home and someone's rearranged all the furniture?

[tadeadshi]

and taken out all the things that made it feel like home at the same time

[pushtheboundaries]

You know what I miss most? The food.

There was this place off sixth, south of Market, the Cricket - do you know where I'm talking about? Best eggrolls I've ever had.

[tadeadshi]

Went a couple of times. Had it delivered mostly during late nights at the lab.

[pushtheboundaries]

Better choice than pizza. And Fa over there gave you a lot of whatever you ordered. I think she was responsible for my cholesterol.

[tadeadshi]

Can't ever say you didn't get your money's worth

[Acting like nothing happened feels great but also wrong. And not at all what he originally started this conversation for. There's a five or ten minute break between the last text and the following, but he has to say it.]

I know Abigail's not here to say it but
Happy father's day

[pushtheboundaries]

San Fransokyo's best kept secret.

[he's not really sure where to take the conversation, all told. but when Tadashi texts him again...

he has no response.

he can't respond.

he was hoping for a distraction from all that, but so much for that.]

[tadeadshi]

I just
What I said before hasn't changed
We'll fix this
No idea how yet but we will

a WHILE later

[pushtheboundaries]

I know.
We'll find a way.

[tadeadshi]

I know we will
I'm not giving up on you professor
