Here's the 2nd chapter! Sorry, it got all weird!
Sitting on the hotel bed, Noodle looked through her phone. She was getting anxious, as 2D and Murdoc were doing an interview in a building a couple blocks away and Russel was out shopping. This wasn't good for her mental state. She quietly sighed in her head, "I can't take this. I gotta go outside. I'll just cover my face. Let's just hope that works. I can't have a thousand people chasing me at this moment." She got up and put on her black mid-thigh high trenchcoat and her large sunglasses and walked out the door to the hotel room. She quietly passed the front desk and out the main doors located in the lobby and started to take a walk around the city.
She had been walking around and going into stores of all kinds, mostly looking around but buying a few things, like some clothing, accessories, and other cute items. It had been a few hours of this and while she was feeling calmer, she suddenly felt her stomach rumble. "I wonder where a good cafe is," she thought to herself. She walked around the area a bit, which had some cherry blossom trees, finding a place to eat. She then spotted a cute little cafe with a kitty theme to it. The Lucky Cat Cafe. It was so cute! There was a cat statue on the roof above the door and little cats designs on a sign right next to the open door. She got a little closer and saw that there was an actual cat on the other side of the window staring at people and birds that were outside. The cat appeared to be a Japanese Bobtail and a chubby one at that. Noodle was a bit amazed how the kitty didn't just run out the very open door. Noodle also had a cat, Katsu, he was adventurous and loved to roam around, which sometimes worried Noodle. "Maybe this kitty doesn't like going outside?" she thought to herself.
She walked in and went up to the counter. The cafe wasn't very busy that day. A middle-aged woman with short brown hair greets her, "Hello, there. Welcome to The Lucky Cat Cafe. What can I get ya?" Noodle looked up at the menu and saw typical sweets and drinks for a cafe, but then she saw something that sparked an interest. They had cat shaped mochi that looked like the cat in the window! She knew that she had to get one of those. She continued to look for another minute to go over her options. She finally decided and replied, "May I have a cat-shaped mochi and some peppermint tea, please?" The lady wrote it down on her little pad of paper and said, "Coming right up! It'll take a minute so just have a seat anywhere and I'll be right out with your order. Would you like it to go?"
"No thank you."
"Alright! See you in a minute." And with that, the lady walked back into the kitchen area to make the order as Noodle walked over to a table and chair near the window. She sat down and pulled out a little book that she had just bought earlier. It was a story about a rabbit and a fox trying to solve a mysterious case. Just as she was about to take a sip of her tea, a small group of, presumably, college students walked in. They seemed to be talking about school work and what projects they were working on. One of them, who appeared to be around 16 to 17, caught her eye. He had messy, black hair and dark brown eyes and looked like he was half Japanese. He was wearing a dark blue hoodie and had a bookbag on his back with a school logo, most likely the school he went to. For some odd reason, she felt as if she knew him or at least she should.
"Why does that kid look… so familiar?" She pondered for a bit and then realized that he looked kind of like the boy that was sometimes in some of her dreams, but a little older. Noodle has had very interesting and vivid dreams all her life. Many of which were either memories of her early childhood life as a Japanese super-soldier or they had some special meaning to them. A few of her dreams involved her seeing a young boy, around 12 to 14, sobbing loudly and no matter how much she tried to race toward him to comfort him, she couldn't get to him. It was a bit weird for her to see that very boy in real life but aged up a little. "*sigh* It's most likely nothing. I'm probably just overthinking it." She decided to go back to her tea and book.
It had been nearly three or four hours for Hiro, just working on his project and he was starting to get drained. "*sigh* I think that's enough for today." Hiro got up from his chair, picked up his backpack and phone, and exited his lab. He entered the main lab where his friends worked on their projects and homework. "Hey, guys! I'm heading down to the cafe. Who wants to come with me?" Hiro asked. A tall, young woman with strawberry blonde hair and a joyful expression on her face walked over to Hiro, chempurse in hand. "I'll come! I just finished refilling my chempurse," She exclaimed. Another woman, who was much shorter and edgier than the previous, spoke up in her calmer voice, "I'm coming too. I need a breather from upgrading the electromagnetic suspension on my suit." Hiro smiled, "Sweet! Wasabi? Fred? What about you guys?" A larger young man with dreads and a green sweater looked up from his laptop. "Sure. I'll tag along. I probably should take a break from my homework," he spoke. Soon, a lanky, young man in the beanie got up. "I'm coming, too! I'm almost done with this new issue and so far, I'm digging it!" He exclaimed, excitedly, still reading the comic as he walked. "Alright, sweet! Let me go get Baymax and we can head out," Hiro said. Just as he was about to turn around to get Baymax, the lovable robot came waddling into the Nerd Lab. "Oh! There you are, buddy. Come on. Let's go home."
As they walked through the cafe doors, still chatting about projects and superhero business, Hiro felt a weird feeling in his stomach. He looked around the cafe, only to notice a lady in a black coat sitting near the window, drinking a cup of tea and reading a book. He couldn't understand why but he got an odd feeling from her, like, she was somebody he was supposed to know. He rushed it off and went back to talking to his friends about his latest project just as his aunt walked by. "Hey, guys!" Hiro's Aunt Cass greeted, with a tray of food in her hands. "Hey, Aunt Cass!" Hiro called back, as he went back to his conversation with his friends, " So, basically what my project is going to do is not only tell if two or more people are blood-related, but how closely. I'm also going to try to make it so that Baymax can scan the entire city to see if any of us have any distant relatives we don't know about." "Wow, Hiro! I can't wait to try it out. I've always wanted to know if I have any long lost cousins in the city," Honey cheered. Gogo, playing a game on her phone, glanced up at Hiro and spoke, "Just be careful about who you get into contact with. I've dealt with shitty people in my family. One of my cousins stole my laptop before. I don't want anyone hurting you." Hiro smiled, reassuringly, "Don't worry, Gogo, I'll be okay."
Later that afternoon, the group of friends went their separate ways to continue their day. Hiro looked around the cafe to see if he could stop the mysterious woman is the black coat but she had already gone. "Damn. I wonder who that was." With that, he decided to go up to his room, as he had remembered the band Fred had shown him earlier that day. He really wanted to learn more about them and their history, especially the lady in the band. He powered up his PC and searched the band. He was shocked at how large their fanbase was and how there were all different types of fans of all different ages. He started to search deeper and deeper, learning more and more about the band members. He found out the names of the band members and what instruments they play. 2D, the tall, blue-haired man, was the lead vocalist and keyboardist of the band. Murdoc, the green-skinned man, was the bassist and mastermind behind Gorillaz. Russel, the large man with white eyes, was the drummer. And Noodle, the lady of Japanese descent, was the guitarist. Hiro was shocked to find out that Noodle had been in the band since she was barely 10 years old and that she grew up almost entirely in the spotlight. Later, he found out that she was originally from Japan and was apart of some government project. He had tried to find out more about that project but wasn't able to find anything. "What the hell? Why can't I find anything about this 'government project'?" Hiro angrily whispered to himself, "Weird…"
That night, Hiro instantly became a fan of the Gorillaz. He had listened to nearly every album and had bought a few of them, as well. Hiro yawned and went downstairs to grab the slightly cold dinner he had forgotten to eat and brought it to his room. After he devoured his meal, he heard his phone blow up with a text from Gogo.
Gogo: Hiro. You up?
Hiro: Yeah. What's up?
Gogo: There's a pretty big illegal street race going on 11th Street and it looks like it could to get some people seriously hurt. You know I'm usually all for racing but not if it could get people hurt. I'm saying we monitor it.
Hiro: Yeah. Let's at least take a look to make sure it doesn't get out of control.
Gogo: I'll get the info to the others. Meet you there. Cya
Hiro: Cya
Hiro sighed, "I hope this doesn't take too long. I'm getting tired. Baymax, think you got enough battery power to fly me downtown?""My battery percentage is. 68.2%," The robot informed. "Good! Let's get ready to go." Hiro retrieved their supersuits and got dressed, turned off the lights in his room, and flew deeper into the city on his robot's back.
Hey! Sorry I had to rewrite this. I don't know what happened but this chapter became all weird and glitchy. Hopefully, this doesn't happen again!
