It's time for a new story! So, let me acknowledge those who follow and fave my stories! You guys make the writing worthwhile. So now I'm writing a multi-chapter story. How many chapters this will have I am unsure-but I know you will enjoy reading this as much as I do writing this!
Disclaimer: Yadda yadda…I don't own Big Hero 6-Marvel and Disney do. Additionally, I have created a villainess for this story- Mistress Serena. Also, the ages of the BH6 members: Hiro is 18, the others are 22-24 years old.
So, on to the story!
Chapter 1
One of the largest metropolitan areas on the west coast was San Fransokyo. And in one of the largest buildings, a tall, fair woman was viewing several screens. On the screens-courtesy of carefully placed cameras-were the exploits of the superhero group Big Hero 6.
She then sat behind a desk, which overlooked the city. She pushed a button on the desk, and spoke, "Have you gathered those files yet?"
A voice on the other end replied, "Yes ma'am. We are assembling them now for you."
She smiled-not a smile of kindness, but one with malice behind it. She said, "I eagerly await what you have for me."
She then turned towards the window, and looked out at the city. Soon, San Fransokyo will fall under the song of the Syren…
It was late Saturday afternoon, and a group of college students-turned-superheroes were enjoying a quiet afternoon at the Lucky Cat Café. They spent time here because the café was run by the aunt of the 'leader' of the group-robotics prodigy Hiro Hamada.
And joining Hiro for snacks and beverages was Wasabi, who had developed cutting-edge uses for plasma-first developing them into blades, then converting those blades into more traditional applications. There was Honey Lemon, who was fulfilling her mission to make the world a better place through chemistry (and love). And there was Fred-who despite looking like a hobo, had utilized his family's wealth and connections to establish several philanthropic ventures.
And while Hiro treasured his friendship with them-there was another member who Hiro had feelings that were a little deeper. And those feelings were for GoGo. GoGo had developed and refined mag-lev technology. She had started small with her bicycle. But she believed that she could incorporate the technology into bigger vehicles, like cars and trains.
But today, she and Hiro were doing some 'extracurricular' activities in the garage below the café. GoGo had managed to bring a sports coupe to tinker with. So the hood was up, and both were wearing tank tops and athletic sweatpants. GoGo said, "I'm impressed. For a novice, you're pretty good."
Hiro wiped his brow, and replied, "Well, I just followed your lead. But I am a genius."
GoGo rolled her eyes, then replied, "OK, genius. Here's the diagram-but could you put this back together without it?"
Hiro said, "Let me have a look." He gazed over the diagram of the engine, and said, "I think I can manage. But you'll assist me, right?"
GoGo said, "Of course." And with that, Hiro grabbed his tools and went to work on the engine. She watched him-until he moved to do something. She said, "Oh, wait!"
Hiro looked, and said, "What?" She came over to him, and said, "Here. I'll show you." She took his hand, and led it to the spot. Hiro felt his face reddening-she's holding my hand!
Though he craved some form of attention from GoGo, when things like this happened, he got himself excited-only to get down when he realized that she'd never feel this way for him. She's older, more mature…and she probably likes guys who aren't dorky like me…
Little did Hiro know-that GoGo had intentionally grabbed Hiro's hand. She knew he was putting the engine together right. But since Hiro had joined their group…since they shared that hug…she craved his touch as much as he craved hers. But it wasn't right for her to be the lead. She felt that a man should always lead…even if he's younger than I am…he makes me feel something…something those other guys couldn't make me feel…tell me…I'm pretty…and I'd be all yours…
And so, Hiro and GoGo tinkered with the car-both too fearful of admitting their true feelings. Eventually, GoGo said, "Let's head up."
Hiro replied, "I'm all for that. Maybe Aunt Cass made her famous face-melting wings."
They both headed upstairs-to an empty café. Cass was there, cleaning. Hiro said, "I hope they're not upset we left them again."
Cass said, "Oh no. They wanted you to have some time together."
GoGo said, "Well, that's good." Cass said, "I hope you're staying for dinner."
GoGo said, "I will. Thanks, Aunt Cass." Cass said, "Why don't you get cleaned up before dinner?"
GoGo said, "Thanks. That sounds great. I'll just grab some things from the car." She headed down to the garage, and Cass looked at Hiro. She said, "So?"
Hiro said, "So…what?"
Cass said, "The last three weeks, the two of you go down to the garage and tinker with a car. But I know there's more happening."
Hiro reddened, then coughed and said, "Aunt Cass-there's nothing happening between me and GoGo. Well, right now, anyway."
Cass said, "So what are you waiting for?"
Hiro was about to speak, when GoGo reappeared, holding a gym bag. She said, "Thanks again!"
She headed upstairs, and Cass said, "Mister-you are not off the hook." Hiro went upstairs after GoGo, like he did every weekend she was here.
He got GoGo a towel, and said, "Be on guard-Aunt Cass gave me the third degree."
GoGo sighed, and replied, "Maybe she'll go light on me this week."
GoGo went into the bathroom for her shower, and Hiro sat on the bed. And once again…we dance along the edge…tip-toe the subject…Hiro exhaled, and headed downstairs for dinner.
As he was eating, GoGo came down. She was wearing a short-sleeved oversized SFIT T-shirt, with a pair of black tight shorts. Cass said, "I hope you're hungry!"
GoGo replied, "I am. And it looks good!" Hiro said, "Well, I guess I'll get my shower." Hiro headed upstairs, and as he did, Cass looked at the speedster. Cass then said, "Go…I won't press. But Hiro is a good guy…and I know he'd be perfect for you."
GoGo said, "I know. I know all of that. It's just…"
Cass said "What is it, dear?"
GoGo sighed, and said, "I'm not the kind of girl to say, 'Oh, Hiro! I love you so much! Kiss me!'" Cass chuckled at GoGo's dramatic gestures, then said, "GoGo…I don't think it works like that."
GoGo said, "So what should I do?"
Cass said, "Well, I don't know…but maybe you and Hiro should come clean about your feelings."
At that moment, Hiro entered the kitchen-wearing his battle suit. Cass said, "Something happening?"
Hiro replied, "Yeah. SFPD wants us to look into a robbery."
GoGo said, "A robbery? Sounds like small potatoes…"
Hiro said, "Well, my contact says that the victims are one of the biggest tech firms…and the guards seem mesmerized."
GoGo exhaled, and said, "Well, I'm glad I brought my suit."
Hiro said, "I've already contacted the others. Let's move!"
Well, that brings the first chapter to a close. So let's explain what's happening:
Hiro and GoGo are tip-toeing along the edge of a relationship-they are close friends, but they haven't broken through the 'friend-zone'.
And there's crime afoot! See you next time!
