Not a Jedi

The next few days Hiro scoured the city to find that woman. But he turned up nothing every time. He took Baymax with him as Baymax's scanners would allow him to take a biologica scan of the woman, thus allowing him to find her in a crowd if they lost her. She was nowhere to be found.

Hiro sat down on a bench to think. He had no idea why he was looking for this woman so intently. She was a total stranger. She could be a murderer, thief, or maybe a lunatic. But for whatever reason he felt that wasn't the case. She'd saved the Rodian. She'd hadn't cared what the Empire could have possibly done had she failed. She acted...like a Jedi.

He didn't know who she was. But he had to find her. With a nod he stood up quickly, and as he did he nearly bumped into a passing citizen. "Oh, sorry," he said quickly.

"No problem kid," came an all too familiar voice. Hiro gasped quietly as the cloaked figure, the woman, continued on her way. He looked after her with a wide smile.

"Baymax, scan her," Hiro ordered as he pointed at her retreating form. Bayma did as instructed, looking to the woman and doing a biological scan.

"Scan complete."

"Yes," Hiro said pumping his fist. "Lets go," he said as he grabbed Baymax's arm and pulled him along. So they followed the mystery woman, ducking behind trash cans and into alleyway as she made her way to an unknown destination. After minutes the woman emerged in a small square. Hiro ducked behind a corner as she made her way to some stormtroopers with speeders and supply crates attached to them.

He continued to watch, wondering what she was up to when he saw her point into the distance on her right. Hiro followed her finger, but couldn't make out anything or anyone who received the signal. He looked back to ehr as she kept advancing on the troopers. He could make out some kind of arm guards that covered her wrists and had yellow disks with a red center attached to them.

The troopers took notice of her and pointed their weapons at her in warning as they ordered her to stop. But she didn't. They repeated their orders, shouting at her to obey or be killed. But she kept going. As it looked like they were about to fire the woman threw out her right hand, and from it her disk went flying.

It struck the man on the left on the side of his helmet before ricocheting off to strike the man to his right, knocking them both out in one shot. The rest of the the troopers opened fire on her as her disk flew back to her wrist. She use the disk as shield as she kept advancing. And Hiro watched in amazement at the sheer speed her arms were moving to block the blaster fire.

As she kept advancing the other troopers ordered the crates to be taken to safety. So three of the troopers jumped onto their speeder bikes with the crates attached and began to drive away. As they made their way down a street and out of the square Hiro caught a glimpse of a blue orb rolling out of an alley before their path. There was a flash as the orb suddenly expanded into a large blue blob.

The trooper in front shouted in alarm as he collided with the blob. The entire front of his speeder bike sank into the blob, trapping him and the bike as he struggled to pull himself out. As his comrades were stunned in bafflement they hear a whistle came from the alley. They turned as another purple orb hit one of them in the helmet, exploding into a stringy mess that envelope and blinded him. The last man was drop kicked off his speeder by a large dark skinned man in a green jacket. Before he could get up the man drew his blaster at his hip and shot him.

Hiro watched, realizing this was some kind of heist. These people were stealing from the Empire. He watched another person emerged from the alley. A tall slim woman with large glasses, long blonde hair, and wearing a pink jacket and black pants. She shoved the other trooper of the speeder as she and the dark skinned man began to get the crates onto two of the speeders. When they had finished they both jumped on and turned to go down the alley. Before they disappeared the man let out a loud whistle, then they shot away and out of sight.

Hiro looked back to the woman he'd been following to see her taking out the troopers with her bare hands. But as soon as she heard the whistle she began to retreat. The troopers not knocked out picked themselves up to fire at her retreating form. But the woman was fast and agile. She leapt onto stands and stalls before performing a great leapt onto a two story building and disappearing out of sight.

The stormtroopers began calling for backup as they went after her. Meanwhile Hiro's jaw was hanging low. That woman had been amazing. She single handedly fought a squad of troopers. But it was more to it than that. He was sure of it. That woman had used the Force in her last jump.

She was a Jedi!

Hiro spent the next 20 minutes looking for the woman. It was much easier now that he had Baymax with him. Baymax took a scan of the city and located her. He led them both to her position, finding her on a bench. She'd gotten rid of her cloak and was now wearing a bright yellow jacket, black pants, and combat boots. Without her cloak Hiro could see she had black hair with a few violet streaks in it. Her disks were nowhere in sight as she lounged on the bench, chewing gum and wearing dark sunglasses. Stormtroopers ran right by her, clearly not recognizing her.

When they passed she smiled. She stood up and began to walk away. Hiro swallowed nervously. How was he supposed to go about this? This woman was a Jedi. He was sure of it. And that meant she could teach him, if he could convince her to do to that is.

With a breath he crept after her. He watched as she turned left down an alley. He paused for a moment before following after. But as soon as he made the turn something grabbed him by the front of his shirt, pulled him into the alley, and slammed him against the wall. He yelped and looked up into the covered and narrowed eyes of the woman.

"You following me kid?" she asked suspiciously.

"Me? No! Well-I mean technically yes-but-"

"Why?" she asked with an edge in her voice.

"Because I know what you are?" he whispered to her.

The woman's eyes narrowed. She pressed him against the wall with her left hand. She raised her right hand, and he noticed a round triangle on her wrist. Suddenly it folded out and formed into a disk with a serrated edge. It began to spin like a hacksaw as she moved it dangerously close to his face.

"And what am I?" she asked dangerously.

Hiro gulped nervously. His eyes on the disk. "Baymax, little help?" Hiro stammered out. The nurse bot stood there, saying how it was against his programming to harm people. He looked up at the woman in fear. "You're a Jedi."

The woman flinched before staring at him. To his surprise the disk stopped spinning. She let him go and took a step back. Then to Hiro's surprise she started to laugh.

"You think I'm-" she couldn't finish her statement as she clutched at her stomach. Hiro watched in confusion. Wondering what she found so funny. When she got her laughing fit under control she stood and took a breath. "Oh you've been told too many bedtime stories kid. The Jedi are gone," she said to him. She stepped forward to ruffle his hair.

"Now go home. And stay in school," she said to him. With that she stepped away to leap onto a trash can then up to the roof of a building before disappearing out of sight. Hiro stared after her and then narrowed his eyes. She was not getting away that easily.

"Guys, I'm at the rendezvous point."

"Copy that Captain, be there in a sec."

The woman stood near an abandoned assembly plant on the edge of the city as she waited for her comrades to pick her up. It didn't take too long as they descended in a small transport shuttle. She waited as it landed. The back ramp opened to reveal her comrades. The blonde woman with glasses and the dark skinned man.

She smiled to them as she began walking toward the ship.

"Hey guys."

"Hey captain," the dark skinned man greeted.

"Hey captain...who's your new friend?" the other woman asked as she looked over her shoulder.

She stopped and turned around.

"Hey," Hiro greeted. The woman yelped and leapt back in surprise.

After overcoming her shock she narrowed her eyes and placed her hands at her hips. "Oh, its you again," she said with a frown. "Go away fly, don't bother me," she said making a shooing motion with her hand.

"So who's the kid Gogo?" the dark skinned man said as he came up to stand beside her.

"No one Wasabi. He just a kid who doesn't know how to take a hint," she said scowling down at Hiro.

"Aww, he's so cute," the other woman cooed.

"Honey, he's not a puppy," Gogo said sternly. She looked down at Hiro. "Look kid, I'm not a Jedi. Ok?"

"Sure you are, you did all that cool stuff. Especially that amazing jump. I mean it'd be impossible for a woman with your height to-" he paused as he noticed her scowl deepen at the remark of her height. She was shorter than her friends and only a few inches taller than Hiro.

Gogo sighed as she palmed her head. She took off her glasses to reveal her bandaged eyes. Hiro furrowed his brows as he raised a hand up to wave it in front of her face. "Are you blind? You don't seem blind. Especially not with the way you fought those troopers," he said curiously. She caught his moving hand, showing that she could indeed see.

"I'm guessing you've never met a Miraluka before, have you kid?"

"A Mira-whatnow?"

"A Miraluka. Me. My species," Gogo said as she gestured to herself. She stared at him, her eyes narrowing as she assessed him. "Hmmm. Interesting," she said as she bent down to get a closer look. "You aren't a Jedi. But the Force is radiating off of you. You're a Force sensitive too."

"See. Je-OW!" he yelped as she flicked him on the forehead.

"I'm not a Jedi kid. And we're done here. Lets go guys," Gogo said as she turned on her heel to walk into the ship. Her friends followed suite.

"Wait! You may not be a Jedi but you still know a lot about the Force! So please can you teach me?"

"Can't help you kid," the woman called back not turning around. She waved her hand back as she and her friends stepped onto the ramp.

"Please! My name is Hiro Hamada, and I want to be a Jedi. You might be the only person who can help me!" he pleaded desperately.

Gogo looked back at him, her face neutral and blank. "The Jedi are gone kid. Want my advice? Get a new dream," she said. The ramp closed as the ships engines turned on. Soon the ship lifted off the ground, carrying away Hiro's only hopes of becoming a Jedi.

Meanwhile, inside the ship the trio was silent.

"Hamada," Honey Lemon whispered.

"You thinking what I'm thinking?" Wasabi asked aloud.

"Tadashi's brother," Gogo said with a nod.

"Couldn't we take him with us? I mean, Tadashi was our best friend Gogo."

Gogo thought it over. In the end she sighed and leaned back in her seat. "All the more reason to leave the kid where he is," she said with a shrug.

Honey Lemon and Wasabi exchanged a glance. Thoughts on the kid brother of their former friend. The kid who wanted to be a Jedi like his big brother, Tadashi. Who wanted Hiro to grow up to be a Jedi as well. Gogo wasn't lying when she said the Jedi were gone. But they thought about how hard it must be for the kid to grow up with those kinds of powers.

Gogo remained silent. Her thoughts her own. She and her crew couldn't take Hiro with them. Not with all the dangerous stuff they got into an a regular basis. No, if they were really Tadashi's friends they should leave him where he's at. WIth a stable home and life.

And besides, what could she do for him?

She wasn't a Jedi.

New chap.
