The area immediately outside the portal had become completely unstable¹. The Krei Tech buildings were starting to bend and crack toward it. Krei nervously² looked at his watch. Only five seconds until implosion³.

There was nothing Hiro's team could do but wait. Then just as the portal began to cave in on itself, the pod came shooting out with Hiro riding on top. He and Abigail safely crashed into a pile of inactive microbots.

"Hiro!" Wasabi cried as the team ran up to him.

"They made it!" Fred cheered. But their faces changed when they saw the rocket fist.

"Baymax?" Wasabi asked. Hiro shook his head. The lights of police cars and emergency vehicles flashed as they approached the scene. The EMTs removed Abigail from the pod and placed her on a stretcher. "Miss, can you hear me—what is your name?" one of them asked.

"Abigail Callaghan," she responded weakly.

"Okay, Abigail, you are going to be fine. We are taking you to the hospital." The EMTs pushed her stretcher quickly toward the ambulance.

Callaghan, who stood next to a police car, watched his daughter move away. "Abigail ..."

The following morning, it was all over the news. "A massive clean-up continues today at the headquarters of Krei Tech Industries," one TV anchor reported.

A live video showed several excavators and bulldozers working on the decimated Krei Tech campus. "Reports are still flooding in about a group of unidentified individuals who prevented what could have been a major catastrophe," the anchor said. "The whole city of San Fransokyo is asking: Who are these heroes? And where are they now?"

But Hiro didn't hear the broadcast. He and his friends were heading out of the Lucky Cat Café. When they walked by his aunt Cass, "Hey, sweetie!" she called, and they hugged. Then he held his arms out, ready for another. "Last hug," she said, grabbing him close again. "All right, I'm good," she said.

He smiled as he continued on to SFIT. Hiro felt good about it. He knew this was where he belonged and where Tadashi would want him to be.

At the robotics lab, Hiro unpacked⁴ one last box that he had brought from his garage lab at home. He took out Baymax's rocket fist and set it down on his desk. He gave the fist a little fist bump and it opened slightly. Hiro spotted⁵ a glint of something inside. He peeled open the fingers and found—Baymax's health-care chip!

Hiro could barely contain his excitement. He knew just what to do.

After working late at the lab for several nights, it was finally ready. Hiro held his breath. Then he let out a big "OW!"

The red suitcase opened and the soft, familiar shape Hiro had come to love inflated⁶ in front of him. Hiro shouted with joy as the robot voice he'd missed so much said, "Hello, Hiro. I am Baymax, your personal health-care companion."

 

传送门外附近的区域变得极其不稳定。格利科技大楼开始向传送门弯曲、瓦解。格利焦急地看着手表，还剩5秒钟就要内爆了。

小宏的团队成员除了等待什么也做不了。就在传送门本身开始被吸入漩涡中时，小宏骑着吊舱飞了出来。他和艾比盖尔安全地撞在了一堆静止的微型机器人上。

“小宏！”芥末无疆呼喊的同时，队员们都朝小宏跑了过去。

“他们做到了！”弗雷德欢呼着。可当他们看到火箭拳的时候脸上都变了颜色。

“大白呢？”芥末无疆问道。小宏摇了摇头。警车和救护车闪着灯向现场驶来。急诊医生将艾比盖尔从吊舱中抬出，放在了一副担架上。“小姐，你能听见我说话吗？你叫什么名字？”其中一位问道。

“艾比盖尔·卡拉汉，”她虚弱地答道。

“没事了，艾比盖尔，你会好起来的。我们这就送你去医院。”急诊医生飞快地推着她向救护车走去。

站在警车旁的卡拉汉看着他女儿被推走了。“艾比盖尔……”

第二天一早，消息传遍了整座城市。“时至今日，格利科技园区总部仍在进行大规模的清理工作。”一位主持人播报道。

现场直播的视频播送着一些画面，许多挖掘机和推土机正在清理已被摧毁的格利科技园区。“媒体仍在争相报道阻止了一场重大灾难的不明组织。”主持人说道，“旧金山的人们都在发问：那些英雄是谁？他们现在在哪？”

但小宏没有听到这一报道。他和他的朋友正要离开幸运猫咖啡馆。在他们走过卡斯阿姨时，她喊道：“嘿，宝贝！”他们拥抱在了一起，随后他又伸出手，准备再来个拥抱。“最后一抱。”她说道，紧紧地拥抱了他一下。“好了，我很好，”她说。

他边笑边继续朝旧金山理工大学走去。小宏感觉这很好。他知道他属于这里，这里也正是泰迪想要他去的地方。

机器人实验室里，小宏打开了他从他的车库实验室带来的最后一个盒子。他从里面取出了大白的火箭拳，把它摆在了自己的桌上。他和这个拳头做了个碰拳，拳头随即张开了一点。小宏发现里面有什么东西在闪光。他拨开它的手指，发现里面正是大白的护理芯片！

小宏抑制不住他兴奋的情绪。他知道要做什么了。

经过实验室里几天的熬夜工作之后，终于做好了。小宏屏住呼吸，随即长呼一声：“嗷！”

红色的手提箱打了开来，小宏深爱的那个熟悉的身影在他面前完成了充气。听到他思念已久的机器人的声音：“你好，我是大白，您的私人健康顾问”，小宏高兴地呼喊了起来。
