Chapter 3- Baymax

[Tadashi walks towards Hiro with a roll of duct tape and unrolls a part of it with a ripping sound, showing how stickly it was.]

HIro: Duct tape? Hate to break it to you bro, already been invented.

Hiro, Gecca, and Fred burst into laughter over his sarcasm and after a few moments Tadashi joined in realizing that it was actually kind of funny.

[Tadashi rips off a piece of the duct tape and holds it in his teeth. He grabs Hiro's arm while he's shrugging, rolls up Hiro's sleeve and swiftly sticks on the piece of duct tape.]

Hiro: Hey!

[Tadashi quickly rips it off and Hiro yelps in pain, dropping Megabot.]

"And that's payback for getting me arrested," Tadashi says with a grin.

Suddenly Baymax interrupts their conversation by saying, "Rate your pain on a scale from one to ten."

"No, Baymax it's just on the screen. He's fine," Tadashi explained to the robot.

Baymax nodded at his creator and goes back to his seat and sits down.

Hiro: Ow! Dude! Ow!

[Camera shifts to Baymax's charging station. THe circle flashes white and Baymax inflates in all of his huggable glory.]

Tadashi: This is what I've been working on.

"It's a walking marshmallow," Hiro said jokingly.

However Baymax took it as fact and said, "No, I'm your personal healthcare companion." Hiro and Tadashi facepalmed at the idiocy of the robot and Tadashi put down a mental note to program Baymax to recognize sarcasm when they got back.

[Baymax climbs out of his charging station and walks forward, but a stool blocks his way. He gently picks it up and looks around to see where he can put it and decides on a clear space on his left. He then continues to walk towards Hiro.]

Baymax: Hello. I am Baymax, your personal healthcare companion. I was alerted to the need for medical attention, when you said… 'ow'.

[Tadashi nods to what Baymax is saying and when Baymax says it, he mouths 'ow'.]

Hiro rolled his eyes at his brother's foolishness.

Hiro: A robotic…. nurse.

[A screen lights up on Baymax's belly and a picture of ten faces appear.]

Baymax: On a scale of 1 to 1, how would you rate your pain?

HIro: Physical? Or emotional?

[Hiro deadpans to Tadashi, who sticks out his bottom lip and makes a pouting face.]

Baymax: I will scan you now.

[Baymax scans Hiro and blinks.}

Baymax: Scan complete. You have a slight epidermal abrasion on your forearm,. I suggest: an anti-bacterial spray.

[Baymax reaches to take Hiro's arm, but Hiro leans back with a sly look on his face.]

Hiro: Woah, woah, woah. What's in the spray specifically?

Baymax: The primary ingredient is bacitracin.

[Hiro clicks both his fingers and tongue.]

Hiro: THat's a bummer, I'm actually allergic to that.

Baymax: You are not allergic to bacitracin. You do have a mild allergy to: peanuts.

"Wow!" Cass says, "That's really cool Tadashi."

"Thanks, Aunt Cass," Tadashi replies

[Hiro extends his arm for Baymax to treat, and looks over at Tadashi.]

Hiro: hm, not bad. You've done some serious coding on this thing, huh?

Tadashi: Uh-huh. Programmed him with over ten thousand medical procedures.

Gecca spoke up at this moment, "From one programer to another, that is awesome. How long did it take?"

Tadashi replied surprised, " More hours than I can count. You're a programer?"

"Ya," she replied, inwardly squealing, "I've been in my school's robotics program since I was in sixth grade. I'm horrible at mechanical engineering but I'm great at programing."

"That's cool," Tadashi said and turned back to the movie.

[Tadashi presses Baymax's access port and it opens, revealing a little green chip.]

Tadashi: This chip is what makes Baymax, Baymax.

[Hiro takes a step forward and presses the chip back in and the access port walks around Baymax, examining him from every angle. He pokes Baymax's back and looks at Tadashi.]

Hiro: Vinyl?

Tadashi: Yeah. Going for a non-threatening, huggable kind of thing.

"Well, you managed that," Hiro and Gogo said at the same time, "He even looks like a walking marshmallow. Tadashi glared at Gogo then turned to Hiro and gave him the same look which resulted in Hiro sticking his tongue out which effectively broke Tadashi glare and turned it into laughter.

Baymax decided at that it was a good time to speak up and looked at Hiro and said, "I am not a marshmallow. I am a robot."

Hiro facepalmed and Tadashi said stifling his laughter, "Ya, we know you're a robot, bud." The three turned back to the movie just to laugh after hearing the next line.

Hiro: Looks like a walking marshmallow.

[He realises what he said and cocks his head, looking at Baymax.]

Hiro: No offence.

Baymax looks at Hiro and said, "I am a robot. I cannot be offended."

Hiro was about to reply when the Baymax on the screen said the same thing and he instead just stared looking between the Baymax in front of him and the one on the screen.

Baymax: I am a robot. I cannot be offended.

Hiro: Hyper-spectral cameras?

[Hiro leans up and taps on Baymax's eyes. He grabs Baymax's head and moves it around to look more closely at his eyes.]

Tadashi: Yep.

Hiro: Huh.

[Hiro narrows his eyes and shoves his face into Baymax's belly.]

Everyone, except Hiro, Tadashi, Baymax, and of course Gecca, look confused at his actions.

Hiro: Titanium skeleton?

Gogo nods at this understanding what he was doing now, while Honey Lemon lets out a noise of understanding. On the end of the row Professor Callaghan looks from the screen to Hiro amazed at how he can just look at something and know what it was. 'He's very smart.' Hiro intrigued Callaghan very much.

Tadashi: Carbon-fibre.

"Oh, ya. That would be lighter and easier to be compacted. Good choice," Hiro said and Tadashi smiled at him in reply.

Hiro: Right, even lighter.

Hiro looked surprised that he had said the same thing and then realized of course he did. It was the future he would have the same reactions as in the movie.

[Hiro suddenly notices something else and stretches Baymax's belly tighter to see it better.]

Hiro: Killer actuators! Where did you get those?

Tadashi: Oh, machined 'em right here in house.

Hiro: Really?

Tadashi: Yep. He can lift a thousand pounds.

Hiro's jaw dropped, "Really?!"

Tadashi and Baymax both said, "Yes."

Everyone just looks at Baymax in surprise.

[Hiro gazes at Baymax in shock.]

Hiro: Shut up.

Baymax: YOu have been a good boy. Have a lollipop.

[He grabs a red lollipop from nowhere and offers it to Hiro.]

"Cool!" Hiro says and turns to Baymax.

Gecca also turns towards Baymax and says, "Can I have a lollipop?"

Baymax shakes his head and says, "Lollipops are only for my patients."

"Awww," Hiro and Gecca say at the same time.

Then Hiro thought of something and turned to Gecca and asked, "How old are you?"

"I'm 14, like you," Gecca replied and Hiro looked almost surprised at that. Then they turned back to the movie, which had been magically paused when they started to talk.

Hiro: Nice!

[Hiro takes the lollipop and rips off the plastic wrapper, then he sticks it in his mouth.]

Baymax: I cannot deactivate until you say you are satisfied with your care.

"A little anxious to deactivate aren't you," Hiro said looking at the robot.

[Baymax cocks his head to the side. Hiro grabs the lollipop from his mouth and moves it around while he speaks.]

Hiro: Well then, I'm satisfied with my care.

[Baymax turns around and starts walking back to his charging station. Tadashi walks up next to Hiro with a warm smile on his face.]

Tadashi: He's gonna help a lot of people.

Hiro: Hey, what kinda battery does it use?

Tadashi: Lithium ion.

Hiro: You know, supercapacitors would charge way faster.

Tadashi added that to his mental list of things to do when they got back.

Tadashi: Oh.

[We pan to the doorway, where a middle-aged man is leaning against the doorframe.]

Professor Callaghan: Burning the midnight oil, mister Hamada?

Tadashi: Hello professor. I was actually just running out.

Professor Callaghan: Ah. You must be Hiro.

[He sees Megabot.]

Professor Callaghan: Bot fighting, huh? When my daughter was younger, that's all she wanted to do. May I?

Hiro: Sure.

[He hands the professor Megabot.]

Professor Callaghan: Magnetic bearings?

Hiro: Pretty sick, huh? Want to see how I did it?

All of the college students look at Hiro like he's crazy.

"What?" he asked. They all shook their heads at him and turned back to movie suppressing silent laughter. Hiro, still confused, turned back to the movie as well. Gecca watched this whole thing also, badly suppressing laughter as the movie continued.

[There's a knock on the tinted glass, it clears to show Tadashi, with a smirk on his face.]

Tadashi: Hey genius, he INVENTED those.

Hiro, eyes wide, turned to Professor Callaghan and said, "You're Robert Callaghan. As in, Callaghan's Laws of Robotics?" His eyes looked like they were about to bug out of his head.

Callaghan nodded in confirmation and Hiro's face turned bright red. Just then all the college students and Gecca burst out laughing at Hiro's reaction. It took a little, but they finally stopped laughing and continued the story, but not before Tadashi and Fred were rolling on the floor and Honey Lemon and Gecca were laughing so hard that they couldn't really breath.

Finally Hiro said defensively, "It's not that funny." That's when Tadashi and Fred got back in their seats and the others stopped laughing.

[Hiro whirls.]

Hiro: You're Robert Callaghan. As in, Callaghan's Laws of Robotics?

That brought on another bought of laughing.

Professor Callaghan: That's right. You ever thought of signing up here? Your age wouldn't be a problem.

[They start walking down a hallway toward an elevator.]

Tadashi: I don't know, he takes his Bot Fighting career pretty seriously.

Hiro: Well, a LITTLE seriously.

Professor Callaghan: Well, if you like the easy things, this school isn't for you. We push the boundaries of robotics here. Our students will move on to change the world. Good luck on that bot fight.

Professor Callaghan decided that now was a good time to speak up, "And, I think you have real potential, Hiro." This surprised Hiro, but not as much as the fact that he was really considering this school now, and he wanted to go there.

[The door of the elevator closes. CUT TO: the front steps. Hiro is stareing up at the huge building.]

Tadashi: We have to hurry if you want to get to that bot fight.

Hiro: I NEED to study here.

[He turns to Tadashi.]

Hiro: If I don't, I don't know what I'll do. How do I get in?

[Tadashi smiles.]

All the college kids smile at this while Hiro says, "Really though. How do I get in?" At this all of them chuckle.

Tadashi says, "My plan worked!" Hiro looked at him and Tadashi stuck his tongue out at his little brother, which made him erupt in giggles. Aunt Cass watched his nephews playing and smiled to herself glad that Hiro was finally into something legal again.

AN. Hey, guys. Here's the next chapter. I hope this chapter has adequate commentary, I did realize that the last chapter didn't really have much. Anyways thanks again to all you followed, favorited, reviewed, or just read my story. I hope to get the next chapter up soon, but I'm going to Kentucky for a week, so I might not be able to get it posted. Also, I put a little information about me in the story this time and it is all true.
