For summary etc: see first chapter
Note: I know it's been ages (3 days IS sometimes ages!) but I do have a good excuse - my cat is sick so she went off to the vet today, which was exciting for me though because I'd love to work in a veterinary practice. Anyway, thankfully she's not really bad; she got a vaccine and worming tablet and thoroughly checked over, and she's fine. Which is good. The other thing I've been doing is I've got into Tomb Raider, the playstation game. I'm playing that a lot recently, but I get mad at it bc Lara keeps falling off things and stuff, though really that's my fault bc I'm controlling her... Anyway! So now, back to writing! I've got my blueberry muffin, I've got my laptop and I've got the ideas in my head. Again, though, Honey Lemon is really hard to decide how to hurt! It's Hiro next though; saving the best for last. Now that's going to be great. Enjoy!
Honey Lemon
It isn't one of the team's favorite jobs. Well, to be more precise, it isn't one of Honey's favorite things to be doing on a Saturday afternoon. But, here they are, in a dusty, creepy, old garage place, looking for some money that a captured criminal admitted he had stashed here.
She shivers as she looks around, like the others are doing. She isn't afraid, particularly, it's just that it feels goddamn creepy here. Not to mention the place is crawling with spiders and insects and probably rats...
Honey glances up, sharpish, when GoGo clears her throat loudly. She raises an eyebrow at the trembling woman.
"What's up?" GoGo asks.
Sheepishly, Honey smiles and shakes her head. "Nothing..."
Giving the taller girl a completely disbelieving look, GoGo nonetheless takes the answer anyway and, with a last suspicious glance over towards Honey, heads towards where Hiro is running his hands along the walls, looking for a secret passage, as Fred suggested.
With another look around the dank, dark place, Honey slowly walks over to the others as well.
Wasabi nods at her in greeting, then does a double take and frowns at her expression. She's not wearing her usual smile, but instead has an uncertain and somewhat fearful expression on her face, which concerns her friend.
"What's wrong, Honey?"
Again, Honey shakes her head and swallows nervously. "Nothing, Wasabi... it's just a little odd here," she admits.
He nods again, understandingly, and gives her a supportive smile. She smiles a little back and they both turn their attention towards Fred when he yells in triumph, having found something behind the wall.
Hiro hurries over and grins. "Excellent! This must be it!"
With a small bow, Fred reaches behind the brick and pulls the lever that is apparently there.
There is a crack, but nothing else happens. The team exchange confused and wary looks, glancing around the garage, trying to determine exactly what the lever triggered.
It's a shout from GoGo that tells them.
"Watch out!"
Honey looks around in alarm too late, and something mildly heavy hits her in the back of her head, knocking her down.
Ouch, she thinks, dazed, as she opens her eyes and struggles to sit up from being face down on the dusty, sandy, concrete. The back of her head feel like it was hit with a hammer or something, but she spots something nearby and picks it up, trying to focus.
It's a coin. A coin? She blinks and raises her head, realising that GoGo and Hiro are knelt down next to her, watching her in concern, and the other two are not there.
Shaking her head a little, she slowly connects that... ah...
Looking around her, she sees that she is kind of sitting in a pile of coins, some heavy than others, and manages to summarise that she had clearly been hit by these coins pouring out of the hiding place that they were in.
As for herself, well, after a quick self-check, she decides that she only has a bit of a headache, and feels okay enough to get to her feet.
"Are you okay, Honey?" Hiro asks in concern. She blinks at him and nods.
"Uh, yeah, I think so... got a bit of a headache, but apart from that..." she nods to herself a gives him and GoGo, who are both still looking worried, a reassuring smile.
Then she gets to her feet, swaying only a little bit, and both the others quickly jump up too, GoGo reaching out to steady her. Honey nods in thanks and regains her balance, then hearing the sound of approaching footsteps.
She turns around, managing to stay pretty much upright, and sees Wasabi, Fred and Baymax walking up to the rest of the team.
Immediately, Baymax addresses her. "I will scan you now."
Honey nods, knowing the usual procedure of Baymax's care, as everyone did now.
"Scan complete. You have sustained mild bruising on the back of your head. Symptoms: dizziness, unsteadiness and inability to focus. Diagnosis: slight concussion. Suggested treatment is rest for about a day, painkillers if needed, and plenty of fluids."
He nods to her and she smiles a little. "Thanks, Baymax. I'm okay."
Baymax tilts his head, considering, and replies abruptly, "Hiro says this often too. It is a human need to say they are alright even if they are not?"
"Yep," GoGo announces, popping her gum and looking bored again now the crisis is over. She glances around the floor. "Anyway, we found the cash. Can we get outta here now?"
Fred fist pumps the air. "Yeah! Let's go back to mine and chill!"
Honey giggles behind her hand at their friend's usual enthusiasm, and Hiro nods with a smile.
"Good idea. Honey can rest up and we can talk about stuff."
And so it is that the six heroes troop out of the creepy garage place, Hiro asks Baymax to contact the police and tell them where the money is, and they go back to Fred's, where they begin to play a board game that Honey keeps not managing to focus on, reading the spaces wrong and making them all laugh. She'll be alright. They all will.
