Fallen
Hiro stepped out onto the stage in the center of the pool, connected to the park around it by a very thin bridge that was covered with water and dangerously slippery. He had nearly fallen in several times. Normally that wouldn't be a problem, if there were water. Instead, the twenty foot fall ended with jagged pieces of metal jutting upward. Before him, GoGo hung over the pool, the clasp holding her linked to a timer and set to drop her in exactly two minutes. He looked around but anything that could help him had been removed. Fred was watching from opposite Hiro and looked almost as distressed as Hiro expected him to. Of course, Fred didn't know about the timer.
"GoGo, hang on," Hiro called up to her. "I'm going to get you out of here."
He began creating grenades that would create a large bouncy pile of something or other upon impact and began to hurl them into the pool directly beneath GoGo. When he was out, he stopped, staring down at the jagged pieces of metal sticking up from the pile. He hadn't had enough. He looked back at the timer. Five seconds. He ran a few quick calculations and backed up to the far side of the stage. Three seconds. He crouched, waiting. The moment the timer reached one second, he sprinted forward as fast as he could, arms pumping, feet pounding loudly on the stage, the sound echoing through the deserted park. The clasp snapped open, GoGo screaming as she began to descend. Hiro leapt from the edge of the stage, arms out in front of himself. GoGo landed in them, almost continuing before he held her securely against himself. They began to descend, falling into the pool. At the last second, he snapped his hand up and Fred reached down catching Hiro's hand at the wrist, Hiro twisting his arm so that he slammed into the wall of the pool back first, making sure GoGo wasn't injured in the landing.
"Hang on Hiro," Fred grunted, struggling to lift them. "I'll have you out of there in a minute."
"Take GoGo," Hiro instructed lifting her.
Fred reached his right arm over, taking GoGo's hands and lifting. The moment one of her feet was up, Hiro pushed off the wall, swinging up to the top of the pool using Fred's suit. Fred whistled and GoGo smiled then looked around.
"We need to leave," GoGo stated. "He left for the military base."
"Why?" Hiro asked before hearing a jet.
He slowly turned, looking back as his mouth fell open. The jet was carrying a massive bomb that was welded to the bottom of the plane. Hiro wasn't even sure how the plane was airborne but that didn't matter. His genius brain instantly picked the bomb out as a firebomb that would cover the entire city in flames and reduce it to rubble. He looked around before spotting the new water slide.
"Only one way we survive this, maybe," Hiro stated. "Let's go!"
They all sprinted toward the slide, not moving nearly fast enough. GoGo switched to her skates and grabbed both of the others, shooting to the slide and throwing them both in. Then, she leapt after them. The one thing about the water slide that would save them from the bomb was that the builders had always left the power, and subsequently water, on since it had its own power source that was charged exclusively by the sun and the water was pumped from the end to the beginning again continuously, filtered on the way back in case someone had an accident on the way down. They all landed in the water, shooting down the slide in a blur, slowing slightly until they were moving at the speed of the water. As they shot along and down, they heard a massive roar behind them and the slide shook, the lights flickering. Hiro watched the walls carefully and finally saw the track switch for the technicians. He pulled a glove off, hurling it at the switch and hitting it. A rounded wall shot out in front of them, switching them to a second path that curved downward into a nearly straight drop. After several moments, the tunnel behind them lit up and a dull roar began to grow behind them, quickly reaching deafening levels. Then, the tunnel began to level out and Hiro noticed another track switch. He pulled his other gauntlet off but waited. Just as he was about to reach it, he threw the gauntlet, hitting the switch. The track began to change, Fred and GoGo slipping past easily. Hiro slipped past, just barely fitting and just barely having any water left under him. Finally the slide began to level out and the three of them were deposited in a large rectangular pool that was completely dark. They all surfaced and Hiro pulled out a waterproof ball that lit up entirely and illuminated the room. He tossed it to a small platform on the side opposite the tunnel they had just exited.
"Fred, you first," Hiro stated and Fred swam over but was having trouble getting out with his suit wet and slippery. "Ditch the suit. I have spares."
Fred nodded and climbed out of the suit which sank, then climbed out and turned around. Hiro gripped the edge of the platform then held his hand out to GoGo as the water began to drain. She swam over and he boosted her up to Fred, who pulled her up and out of the water. Then, she instantly dropped off the edge again, Fred catching her feet as she grabbed Hiro by the front of his armor, pulling him up to herself as Fred pulled them up, barely able to do it. FInally they were on the platform again and Fred lay on his back panting and GoGo watched Hiro carefully.
"What?" Hiro asked.
"You were going to stay here weren't you?" GoGo asked. "You got me out before you because you were ready to stay here until you died."
"I got you out first because you're more import-"
"I'm not more-"
"To me," Hiro finished. "You're more important, to me."
GoGo stared at him in surprise for a moment before smiling slightly and blushing.
"Yeah...well...just shut up," she muttered as she saw him grinning at her reaction.
"So, now what do we do?" Fred spoke up after a couple more moments.
"We have to stop him," Hiro stated. "I just...don't know how we're going to do that."
"Maybe we should start with who it is," GoGo suggested. "Any ideas?"
"I...I honestly don't know," Hiro stated. "It's someone that knows who we are, and it's someone that knows what we have to use. But that could be a lot of people."
"That's true," GoGo nodded.
"It's probably your evil twin," Fred spoke up looking at Hiro.
"No," Hiro snorted. "That could be fun though. I'm thinking that, whoever it is, it's someone that was there when we were starting out."
"Well, that would be either our team or Fred's butler," GoGo stated. "And Baymax would have told us that, wouldn't he?"
"Probably," Hiro nodded. "Unless whatever gives him his powers also messes with Baymax's scanner."
"It's possible," GoGo nodded. "But that just brings us back to someone that knows about Baymax's abilities, which was only our team."
"So it would have to be Wasabi or Honey," Hiro stated. "That's terrific. We're going to have to fight one of our friends."
"Maybe not," Fred stated. "Didn't Wasabi once have a girlfriend that knew and who was as smart as some of the kids in your school?"
"Yeah, he did," Hiro agreed. "But this was a guy."
"He didn't seem to have Wasabi's build though," GoGo pointed out.
"He had Callaghan's build, now that I think about it," Hiro nodded. "But he couldn't have broken out. We would have heard about it on the news."
"Yeah," GoGo nodded. "But then, who is it?"
"Let's go about this the other way," Hiro sighed. "We'll figure it out when we take the mask off him. But we need to see how he uses his powers first."
"Right," GoGo nodded. "For now, how do we get out of here?"
"There's an access hatch to the surface down that hallway," Hiro said pointing at the hallway the platform they were on was connected to. "It's probably a bad idea to head back up right now though. We need to give it a couple hours to cool off up there."
"Yeah," GoGo nodded. "In that case, I'm going to get some rest."
"Me too," Hiro agreed. "Fred, you have first watch. All you have to do is listen for the guy with he mask."
Fred nodded and GoGo leaned against the wall beside Hiro, drifting off, with him not far behind.
