Let's get this out of the way now. Yes, this is a short chapter. The shortest in the entire story. It just felt right to cut it where I cut it.
Never the less, I still gope you will enjoy it!
To say Go-Go was surprised by Honey's sudden appearance in her cell would have been an understatement. She was also uncertain about what to think regarding her appearance.
The silence went on for quite a while, no one really knowing what to say. Go-Go remained in her defensive state because of her last few interactions with Honey, though a small part inside of her did lit up after seeing her again. Honey wasn't sure on what to say either, mostly because there was too much to explain and so little time to act. She did know that Go-Go looked terrible from her stay in prison, as evident by her messy hair and torn up orange cloths.
In an act that surprised both of them, Honey started talking after all of that silence. "Look, I don't have a lot of time to explain what;s happening to you, but you were right!" Go-Go might have become more confused by this declaration, but she also laid down her defense a bit. "Let's get out of here before the cops are back and I'll explain later…" She pleaded. "Please, Go-Go."
The imprisoned girl thought about it for a few seconds before narrowing her eyes and nodding, causing Honey to smile at her.
Without her suit Go-Go had to rely on Honey's bouncy chemicals in order to jump from building to building. The two didn't exchange words even once since they escaped the cell, mostly because they felt like there's nothing to say until they'll reach a safe place. What they didn't express with words however, was wildly being discussed in their minds.
Honey just couldn't believe that Go-Go seemed to forgive her so easily and she was even more overjoyed by once again jumping from one rooftop to another with her best friend by her side; the only thing missing was Go-Go's suit. Go-Go herself might not have shown it, but she was glad to see Honey again after their blowout with each other, not to mention she seemed to have realized that she was wrong about the whole thing. Go-Go might not forgive her just yet, but she will enjoy the moment of being free and supported again for as much as she could.
It turned out that Honey led Go-Go back to her, or their house. She opened the door for the fugitive, who walked in un-sure of what was going on in there. As Go-Go walked in she saw Julieta along with Hiro, Baymax, Fred and Wasabi sitting in the living room. Once they noticed that she was there, they all ran up to her and gave her a group hug, showing that they clearly missed her and were happy that she was alright. Honey wanted to desperately join the group hug, but felt it was yet inappropriate.
"Now, can someone tell me what's going on here?" Go-Go asked, getting impatient with her friends, but also seeming interested by what they had to say.
"Some recent events and discoveries made us realize that you weren't wrong after all." Julieta was surprisingly the first one to talk. "Medicamentum are really poisoning our water with bad chemicals." Wasabi was the one to show her the picture Lucas sent alongside his letter.
"You went in there once." Hiro told Go-Go as she looked at the picture. "You probably looked every part of the factory for proofs. Your input will be needed… and we're sorry for not believing you and breaking you out sooner." He added at the end.
"Come on, Go-Go! We can't be Big Hero 6 with just five members." Fred encouraged her to agree while Honey handed Go-Go her familiar yellow suit.
The short girl looked at it for a few moments, guessing her belongings from the night of the break in were brought to what was considered her home. After eyeing all of her teammates she snagged the suit and disappeared up the stairs. Everyone looked at each other with questioning looks, not sure if Go-Go agreed to the offer or not. Just when it all seemed doomed, the girl returned downstairs in her familiar yellow and black armor making everyone, especially Honey, smile at her.
Observing the encouraging looks she was given with a straight face, Go-Go nodded at her team. "What's the plan?"
Without any further explanation, Hiro removed the upper part of Baymax's battle armor to reveal the white vinyl underneath it. On the robot's chest appeared a video screen showing Julieta talking on the phone. "I quit!" The recorded Julieta claimed angrily while Aron's voice came out of her phone, which was set to speaker. "You can't do anything with my research without me!" She argued.
"There's where you're wrong. I conceptualized the pill; I have the right to publish it if I think it's ready." He said in his usual soft yet threatening tone. "After your reservation I don't even owe you credit for its development. This medicine will see the light of day, and I don't care about tests. You and your girl reached a great enough result." At that point the conversation ended and so did the recording.
"I have recorded Julieta's reservation from the factory." Baymax informed. "That could be used as proof for the CEO's hostile intentions."
"You quit?" Go-Go asked Julieta.
"After I found out that you were right I couldn't stay there." She explained. "I was lied to. My research and work might have caused harm to the people of the city. I couldn't allow it anymore."
"And since she's fired, I'm pretty sure my scholarship ended." Honey added.
"So what are we going to do when our two inside sources are no longer related to the factory?" Go-Go asked, trying to find the logic in this plan.
"Baymax recorded the conversation five minutes ago." Wasabi told her. "If Julieta quit right now at this time of the day, the actual information won't be available to the security guard during the night shift."
"So Honey will go to the guard and distract him while all of us head inside and start looking for any piece of evidence regarding the factory's intentions." Hiro started to explain before handing Go-Go a remote flash drive. "You made it to the CEO's office once and you know what's on his computer. Copy the files and we'll have something to go by. Meanwhile; Baymax, Fred, Wasabi and I will look for more proofs."
"More?" Go-Go asked at the prospect of more info than what she has seen.
"The letter I received from a friend of mine says he found documents and photos of the chemicals being disposed near the ocean." Honey pointed to the picture she received from Lucas. "If we could find out more than what we already have, it could only work in our advantage."
"Alright, we brought her up to speed." Fred suddenly said, itching to get going. "Let's get those proofs and stop that evil CEO from doing stuff evil CEO's do!"
"Good luck to you all." Julieta wished to the team as they were all ready for one more patrol to make sure the city is safe.
"We will re-group near the factory." Hiro told the others before Baymax opened his wings and blasted into the skies. Wasabi and Fred both split up as well; one jumping on top of one of the roofs, while the other started running as fast as he could towards the destination.
Go-Go took a few seconds to adjust to her suit again, making sure she can still work it. As soon as she found her balance with the wheels connected to her feet, she started speeding off towards Medicamentum. "Go-Go, wait!" She suddenly heard Honey scream, causing her to immediately break and look back at the blonde. "Be careful…" Honey said. "For the police to not see you, I mean. We need to prove your innocence first."
"I will…" She nodded right before getting ready to leave; but then something stopped her. "Also," The beginning of the sentence caused Honey to look hopefully at Go-Go. "Thanks for setting me free." She said, managing a tiny smirk.
Honey smiled back at her, starting to feel the awkwardness from before slowly disappearing. "You're welcome." There was another short silence before Honey spoke again. "Thanks for forgiving me." She said.
Upon hearing that, Go-Go's frown returned. "I've never said that…" She claimed before turning away and skating as fast as she could. Was she too hard on her right now? She did admit being wrong and that she should have listened to her, but Go-Go didn't want to forgive that easily just yet. Not until her name is cleared anyway…
As she was watching Go-Go leave her again with the feeling that they are still not friends again, Honey sighed sadly. Then she realized that this wasn't the time for moping; she needs to prove Go-Go is innocent and expose the factory for its bad deeds. With her objective in mind, Honey ejected a ball out of her purse and used it to get to one of the roofs and get going.
So yeah, the group is back together! Now it's time for them to put an end to this entire thing...
Sorry for this being so short again, but it just felt enough in my opinion. I'll make it up to you in the next chapter, trust me! Stay tuned, we're really close to being done!
Hope you enjoyed and please leave a review!
