"You will not need any chariot to bring you back. Only say goodbye to all your brothers and sisters the night before you come away and, when you have gone to bed, turn this ring round upon your finger, and say firmly, ‘I wish to go back to my palace and see my Beast again.’"
[In theory, that was how the rings were supposed to work - well, minus having to speak. But turning the ring on her finger is supposed to bring her to wherever Hiro is, and when Yona finds herself pursued from her father's rooms and losing her balance in the courtyard, it's not Hak she calls out for on instinct.
It's Hiro, and as she falls, she twists the ring on her finger.
...
The next thing she knows, she's falling again. Through the air, this time; the bright lights of a crowded city blink below her, but they're coming up fast as she plummets to the ground, and it's the fact that she is almost certainly going to go splat that has her attention, and not the boy and the robot flying at a rapid pace ahead of her.
(In retrospect, she should have checked the mirror to make sure he wasn't somewhere that her spontaneously appearing would be an inconvenience.)
In a way - this is out of the frying pan and into the fire. Yona can't help but scream, even as she closes her eyes and braces herself for impact.]
[So the thing is, Hiro has a lot going on! Hiro has a lot going on that got thrown right into action the moment they got back. It was anger and bitterness and trying to navigate his way home from Akuma Island and then
--and then it was screaming?
And then it was screaming and he suddenly whips his head around as he spots someone very familiar falling.]
Baymax! [He briefly forgets what he's doing and directs his robot to turn, zooming backwards behind them.] Dive!
[Yona's falling and with her eyes closed she might not see what, exactly, is approaching her, but she'll soon feel herself landing in large metal arms and no longer plummeting toward earth.]
[This isn't even the first time in the last twenty minutes that Yona has thought she might die. Luckily, Baymax and Hiro swoop down in just the nick of time.
She gasps when she's caught, and looks up at the sound of Hiro's voice. It takes her a moment to recognize him.
...
She sure feels like she's getting scolded.]
...so it turns out the ring takes me to wherever you are, even if you're not on the ground...?
[It's probably because she's going to get scolded? He was already in a pretty foul mood given what he came home to but there's Yona and he's suddenly conflicted.]
We probably should have been more specific when we made them. What are you doing here? [Baymax continues holding Yona in his arms as he turns to fly them back to Hiro's garage.
It's not anger about her being here. It's "what happened that made you show up so soon?"]
[It's bad timing all around, and she knows that. But when the guards had caught up to her in the courtyard, all she could think was that she wanted to be somewhere safe with someone she trusted.
Yona hadn't even had to think about twisting the ring to send herself to Hiro's side.
...coming here was easy; answering that question is not. She shudders and wraps her arms around herself, looking very small in Baymax's arms as they zoom across the city.]
I, um... ["Father is dead. He was dead the whole time we were in the castle, and I was going to be next."] ...I just...
[She can't spit the words out.]
...sorry... for coming so suddenly. I know you- You said you had things to take care of.
...whatever. [It's a brush-off of an answer and he shakes his head as he navigates.] It's okay. I'm working on my own schedule now so I have time for other priorities.
[Fuck his team, basically. But he can always make time for Yona.] We're heading back to Lucky Cat. We can talk and figure out stuff from there while I fix Baymax's sensors and gear.
[...if he says it's okay, it's okay. Yona relaxes a little, but ... she doesn't exactly look happy, either. She probably won't for a while. But that's pretty normal, all things considered.
She stares down at the lights beneath them and takes a breath.]
...I don't really know a lot about robots and science and the things you do, but... is there anything I can do to help you?
No. I don't need anyone else's help. [It's clipped and maybe harsh, a tone she'd recognize as his angry and stressed tone.] Just...stay safe? That'll be the most helpful thing right now. Baymax and I have to head back out as soon as I fix everything but it shouldn't be long before I find Callaghan.
[It's a tone she recognizes as the kind he uses when he needs help but won't admit it. She bites her lip, knowing it's probably a little useless to argue when he's on the robot's back and she's in the robot's arms, and resolves to try and distract him a little once they're both on the ground.]
...I'll stay safe. ["With Hiro" was the safest place she could think of when she was running for her life - it's why she's here now. That part, at least, shouldn't be too hard. What's the worst that could happen to her in San Fransokyo?] ...but, if you're saying that... does that mean what you and Baymax are heading into is a little dangerous?
Good. [Haha, what if he just doesn't answer that question though? He doesn't reply as Baymax zips along, heading to a hillier part of the city and away from downtown.]
We'll be fine. I know what I'm doing and he won't get away this time. [It's a smooth landing though as they arrive at Lucky Cat and in front of the garage. Baymax is at least polite as he puts Yona down and Hiro dismounts from the robot's back, turning away to wrench the garage door open. It slams upward with more force than necessary. He's also grabbing Baymax's helmet with more force than necessary, revealing his marshmallow pal as he starts to stomp to his workbench to fix it.]
[Hiro, turning away to deal with the door, may miss it when Yona stumbles after Baymax puts her down. She's quick to catch herself, but her ankle is still a little tender. It's fine. She just needs to be careful how much weight she puts on it.
It also means she's not quite fast enough to catch him before he stomps to his workbench, but she follows him there and starts to reach out, intening to put a hand on his shoulder.
[Baymax's sudden announcement of her injury startles Yona into jumping back a bit... which in turn has her put weight on her bad ankle and sends her straight to the ground. Ouch. Okay.
Yona! [It jars him out of his tantrum and he leaves Baymax's helmet on the bench. He's also quickly de-armoring Baymax and revealing the full extent of his marshmallow body.] Baymax, move her to the chair.
[...] Oh yeah. Yona, Baymax. Baymax, Yona.
[The robot peers at her curiously before he shuffles forward and waves.]
Hello, Yona. I am Baymax. [He looks down.] You have fallen. I will assist you now.
[Hope Yona's prepared because Baymax moves and scoops her up, waddling to a corner of the garage where there's a large, plush chair. Down you go.]
[Yona raises her hand in a wave - and then the next thing she knows the marshmallow robot is picking her up and hauling hr over to an actual chair. It's perhaps not that surprising, considering he also plucked her out of the sky and flew her back here.
Her expression starts to flatten out a little as she remembers why she was falling and what she'd been running from in the first place, but--]
You know I always would. [It's the first thing he says even before "it's good to see you, too" which is on his mind even if he's already moving back to the bench. Baymax is making sure Yona is comfortable and he's also touching her ankle. His hand's cold and acts as a compress for the moment while he makes sure her leg is elevated.]
...it's good to see you, too. [There's an awkward pause.] Things will be fine.
[Both their worlds are crazy and they've only barely escaped murder castle, but trusting Hiro comes as easily to her as breathing. If it didn't, she might not be here right now.
(She might not even be alive right now. All of those guards were armed.)
She shudders, and hopes that Baymax will take it for shivering from the cold of the compress.
If Hiro's turning back to his workbench, that means he can't see her face, so she doesn't have to force a smile. Her gaze trails down to the ground as Baymax fusses over her ankle.]
...you promise? If it's dangerous out there, I-- I don't know what I'd do if something happened to you too.
[She tries to answer. Really, she does. She opens her mouth to speak, but the words stick in her throat, and she sort of hunches her shoulders and curls in on herself in the chair as he works with his tinkering.
The silence will stretch on between them until either he or Baymax breaks it, but she's trembling.]
[She takes a breath. Admitting it doesn't feel right. If she admits it, it means accepting that her father isn't here anymore, and accepting that Soo-won was never the man she thought he was.]
...the whole time we were in that place, he...
[Yona can't say it. She shakes her head uselessly.]
...you can't go back, can you? [He's not going to ask for details. The fact that she's not giving them means it's worse than he imagined and he doesn't know how he feels about that. All that truly matters here is keeping her safe like he always has.]
Of course it's okay. [The anger from earlier seems to be on pause even though his posture is tense still.] I told you before we left that place that you could always come find me. I just didn't think it'd be so soon.

Your ankle requires medical attention. Recommended treatment is elevation and. A cold compress.
