[And that grin just slides right off, dropping like a sack of wet cement. There's something that curls in his chest and makes it a little hard to breathe, anxiety rearing up like an angry horse before he shakes his head and purposefully looks away. His hand's messing with something in the pocket of his sweater and he knows Loki knows it's Baymax's chip.
'Not everything that doesn't work out is your fault.'
Oh Loki. That's almost cute and he can almost believe that, but this is partially his fault. He turned Baymax into a weapon. He turned his friends into a superhero team to find Callaghan and avenge Tadashi's death. He didn't think fast enough to save himself and Baymax in the portal.
He didn't think. When he speaks again there's a defensiveness in his tone even though he's still not looking at him, apparently more interested in the (blank) piece of paper in front of him.]
What? We just haven't found a way, but there's gotta be something else I haven't tried yet. [He refuses to believe it. Denial. It's a massive case of denial, denial that Baymax is gone at home and denial that Hiro can't bring him back here. He can bring him back. He's a goddamn genius, isn't he? He can create and destroy everything in the world if he tries hard enough and he can't bring back his best friend? That's unacceptable. He can fix it, he just...
...well.] His creator would be pretty bummed if I didn't get him to work again. It took him 84 tries to get Baymax right, but I have all of his notes. It'll be easy when I find the right pieces, I just haven't yet. I've been busy.
[He's blissfully unaware that it's entirely possible Loki knows he's gone back to the Station every single night since they met at Ariadne's to work on reviving Baymax. He's also blissfully unaware that lying to the multiverse's greatest liar usually doesn't work out.] But it doesn't mean I can stop.
