Heroes
Hiro Hamada sat in the garage turned lab working on upgrading Baymax. He was hard at work making sure his brother's dream would come true. He looked at the date on his computer and sighed. Its been two and a half months since the last time he saw his brother. Since he ran into a burning building and didn't run back out. He was pulled from his thoughts when his phone rang.
"Hello?"
"Hiro, suit up." GoGo ordered, "There's something weird going on at the docks."
"What?" Hiro asked as he got up and put the chip that was Baymax into his robotic body.
"There's a fire running in between buildings." GoGo answered, "Nothing else is catching fire, which is why its weird."
"Baymax and I are on our way." Hiro responded, a bit confused.
Hiro and Baymax flew towards the docks. Even at a distance he could see a fiery glow moving at high speeds around the warehouses near the docks. He could also see a yellow and black blur, that would be GoGo, racing through the streets below. Jumping across rooftops he saw the rest of his teammates, Honey lemon, Wasabi, and Fred. He smiled at them. His team, especially Baymax, helped him so much after he lost his brother. It still hurt, but with them around he knew he was going to be okay.
"Okay, so here's the plan," Hiro said, "We don't know what this is."
"It a fire." Fred replied.
"Fred, stop talking." GoGo ordered.
"We don't know what this is." Hiro continued, with a bit more attitude, "So we should try to corner it and see what it is, because fire doesn't move like that, Fred."
"Hiro." GoGo warned.
"Sorry Fred."
"Its alright, Little Man, I know you don't like being interrupted."
"Hiro, I have scanned the fire, and according to my scans, it is alive and human." Baymax informed his rider. "The fire itself is preventing a more thorough scan."
"Alright guys." Hiro responded, "This this is apparently human. So try not to hurt him. Too much."
Hiro and Baymax landed in front of the fiery man, who stopped and looked at the boy and robot in front of him. Hiro narrowed his eyes suspiciously. This guy seemed to be made of fire. Who was he? What did he want? He wanted them to come to him, that's why he was being as obvious as he was.
"Who are you, what do you want?" Hiro demanded, his voice hidden behind a synthesizer.
"My name is Sunfire." The man answered, his voice dry and crackling like the fire he appeared to be made of, "And I have an invitation for you."
"What ever you're selling we don't want any." GoGo said from behind the fiery man.
"Honey, can you put out his fire?" Hiro asked.
"Yes, I'm ready and waiting."
"What I'm offering is the chance for you to get stronger."
"And in order to do so we have to join you in taking over the world." Hiro retorted, "No thanks. Honey now!"
A woman in pink armor appeared on the rooftop of one of the buildings they were between. She threw two balls at him, that he avoided by taking flight. He stared at the woman in pink armor. He couldn't see her face but the long blonde hair, the chemicals, and the fact the small guy in purple called her Honey was all he need to figure out everyone's identities.
"Of all the knuckle headed things to do." Sunfire muttered, smiling, to himself. He flew off at full speed before anyone else could do anything.
Hiro sat at his desk in his room. It had been three days since the encounter with the fiery Sunfire. He couldn't figure out what his deal was. He thought it was to recruit them into some villainous scheme to take over the world, but when he left after the first no without trying to convince them or end them he wasn't so sure. And now he's here wasting a perfectly good Saturday morning trying to figure this guy out.
"Good morning, Baby." Aunt Cass said, as she brought Hiro his breakfast.
"Good morning Aunt Cass." Hiro replied, "I could have gotten this."
"I know, but you seemed busy so I thought I'd bring it to you."
"Thanks." Aunt Cass nodded and hugged her nephew before going back downstairs.
"This is getting me nowhere." Hiro sighed in frustration. "I'll go help Aunt Cass in the Café for a while."
After finishing his breakfast he made his way downstairs. Once he got to the Café part of the house he slipped on an apron and started taking orders. After most of the morning people left he took a seat behind the counter and rested his head in his hands. Hearing the bell alerting someone entered the Café chime he looked up and saw a young man wearing black worn out jeans a tight red t-shirt, a black leather jacket, sunglasses and a black bandana with a fire design on it. He looked like he would fit in perfectly with GoGo's clique.
"Good morning, can I take your order?" Hiro asked as the young man neared the counter. He waited as the man looked over the morning specials, not really paying much attention to him.
"I'd like a tear-filled joyous reunion with family please."
"What? We don't…" Hiro's brain screeched to a halt. He snapped his head up and watched as the young man took off the bandana and sunglasses, revealing a face he never thought he'd see again. "Baymax, Aunt Cass…" He called over his shoulder, his eyes never leaving the young man's face.
"What is it, Sweetie?" Aunt Cass asked as she and Baymax walked out of the Café kitchen. She dropped the tray of donuts she was carrying when she saw the young man in front of the counter.
"Hello Tadashi." Baymax greeted, "I was informed you had passed away. I shall change your profile now."
"It is you!" Hiro shouted, although he didn't mean to. "What? How? Where have you been?"
"Baby?" Aunt Cass asked, a bit fearfully.
"I'm sorry." Tadashi replied, "Let's just say I didn't get out of the fire the same way I went in. But I did come back as soon as I could."
"Tadashi, you're scan says you are in excellent health, however there are unknown changes in your biological make up."
"Yeah, those are from the fire." Tadashi answered, "But I've been with a great doctor who made sure I was perfectly fine."
"Oh, my precious Baby!" Cass cried as she wrapped Tadashi in a hug, tears flowing down her face as he returned it. Hiro quickly joined and soon all three Hamadas were crying. Once Baymax joined the hug-fest the family was complete. "Why didn't you call?"
"I tried, but you just had the funeral and after that I was busy."
"That was you!? Oh, Baby, I'm so sorry."
"I could have tried to call back."
"I'm just so glad you're here now."
"What are you wearing?" Hiro asked as he pulled away and wiped his eyes. "When did you get so cool?"
"What are you talking about? I've always been cool." Tadashi retorted, "This is what they gave me when I left. It goes with the custom bike they made me."
"Ho-ly cow." Hiro said as he looked out the window and saw a black motorcycle with a flame pattern on the sides parked outside. "Flame bandana, flame motorcycle, whats with the flames?"
"It was either flames or bedazzled smiley faces. Do you like it?"
"I love it!"
"Want to go for a ride?"
"Okay, who are you and what have you done with my nerd?"
"So you don't want a ride then?"
"No! I do!"
"Only if you give me one too." Cass intervened, "Or let me drive it."
"I'll give you a ride too."
"WHOOOOOO!" Hiro screamed as he and Tadashi sped through the highways of San Fransokyo. He didn't even care Tadashi made him wear the 'stupid girly helmet' with bedazzled butterflies.
"Hiro, I'm sorry for leaving." Tadashi said, solemnly.
"No, its okay, I get it." Hiro responded, "I get why you ran into the fire. But Callaghan is scum, he didn't deserve it."
"I know all about Callaghan." Tadashi replied, practically growling Callaghan's name. "He's the reason I couldn't come home."
"What?" Hiro's stomach tied itself in a knot.
"Later Hiro." Tadashi said, "You getting hungry? Its about lunch time."
"Did Callaghan kidnap you?"
"No, we'll talk about it later. I don't want that scumbag to ruin our reunion."
"Fine." Hiro relented, "Do you even have any money?"
"Fred, we need to talk." Stanley said to his son, "Get your friends together, I know all about your super hero past time."
That's it for chapter one.
