Well, here it is! The finale of 'Song of the Syren'...but before we get to the story, I'd like to acknowledge the following: Love-is-power-down-with-hate, cybercorpsesnake, and Vintorez, for providing feedback; the many guys and gals who faved and followed this story, and the anonymous readers who read( and those who left comments, as well).
So, I hope you're all ready for this!
The fallout from the 'Syren' incident reverberated for several days. Immediately after sieging the Sonikos tower-and while Big Hero 6 was making a discreet escape-several government officials descended on the building. The remaining Black Dragon gang members were taking into custody-except Kanagi, whose body had to be pried from a car after his fall from the high-rise office.
But there was something weird- there was no mention of Serena Sonikos-the head and the 'mastermind'. Hiro told Fred to inform his government contacts that they left Serena lying on the floor of her office. But Fred told him that the special agents didn't find her-or any trace of her. Hiro was concerned-but her contrition put him at ease-for now.
However, Hiro didn't have much time to dwell on this. First was the welfare of his friends and loved ones. Physically-GoGo was the worst off, having suffered a concussion and several broken ribs. But GoGo being GoGo-nearly clawed and scratched her way out of the medical ward over some 'boo-boo's'. The others were a little better-with mostly superficial wounds.
Mentally-Aunt Cass had been tormented by the Black Dragon-and was nearly violated by several of them. She also saw Hiro being taken from her-and feared that she was going to lose another nephew. But once Hiro was returned to her, her mind was put at ease…but her experiences left her with scars that would take time to heal. Hiro and the gang helped-and Baymax was excellent at providing comfort. Going to counseling- after Baymax insisted it would do her good- was also helpful.
Then there was the café-which Cass had insured. As soon as could, she got to work rebuilding the café. The others helped as best they could-when they got done at the university or with their outside lives, they would lend Cass a hand-hammering, helping move furniture, and clearing out debris. Within the space of a few months, the Lucky Cat Café was ready to re-open.
But there was one thing that was seemingly harder to repair-and that was the strained relationship between Hiro and GoGo. It was hard-considering GoGo had witnessed Hiro kissing another woman on live TV. As a result, she became cold and distant. She remained civil towards Hiro-working with him during missions or when they were at the University-but she was just out of Hiro's reach.
And there was seemingly nothing that Hiro could do to fix this. He tried apologizing…gifts…but nothing seemed to break GoGo's defenses. However, one night, she and Honey went out for a 'Girls Night'. Honey asked, "So…what's happening with you and Hiro?"
GoGo asked, "What do you mean?"
Honey said, "Hiro's done everything a guy possibly could to get back in a woman's graces…and you've still not forgiven him?"
GoGo chuckled, and replied, "Oh…I forgave him a long time ago…I knew he had no control over what he was doing."
Honey said, "So what's happening now?"
GoGo replied, "I want to do this on my terms…and to sorta surprise Hiro. I mean, I've started going back to his apartment for dinner…we're doing things together-but the romance isn't there…yet."
Honey said, "Well, I guess you're on top of things…but I guess you'd rather be on top of Hiro…"
GoGo blushed, and replied, "Soon enough, Honey…all things in time…"
Within the next few days…GoGo made good on her word. She began the healing by showing Hiro small affectionate gestures-a small kiss on the cheek, or a hug when arriving or leaving. This soon escalated to deeper kisses.
Then one day-which to Hiro, seemed totally out of the blue-he and GoGo engaged in a deep make-out session in his room at the university. After the kissing and groping concluded, she slapped him-lightly-and said, "Fresh!"
Hiro didn't get mad at that-because he saw the sexy smirk she wore-on top of the blush that drove him wild. She prepared to leave, and he said, "Just one thing-strawberry gum is my favorite-but I'm beginning to like watermelon…" he then blew a bubble-which was from the gum GoGo chewed.
They continued engaging in these activities…then one night, Hiro returned to his apartment…and saw the door was ajar. He began to feel fear-who could have gotten in? I'm the only one with a key. Unless it's a break-in…
He saw that the door wasn't forced-which meant that someone had entered with a key. He pushed the door open…and heard, "About time you showed up!"
He recognized that voice, and was glad he wasn't going to have to fight an intruder. But he had to ask, "How did you get in?"
GoGo replied, "All part of my master plan… I was able to get the key to your place…and I simply returned it to you during one of our hot make-out sessions…"
Hiro smiled at the speedster-before noting what she was wearing-or wasn't. She had on a t-shirt, which had been cut off between her breasts and midriff. And Hiro noticed that those clothes she wore regularly were hiding a set of well-defined abdominals. She was also wearing a pair of black shorts-which served to show off her well-toned hips and legs.
Hiro said, "You look stunning…" GoGo replied, "I know. I'm not really a good cook…so I didn't get a chance to make you something to eat…"
Hiro said, "Let's skip dinner…I want to go right to dessert…" And with that, he picked GoGo up, and took her into the bedroom…
...Hours later, Hiro and GoGo lay cuddled together amidst a messy bed. Hiro said, "I'm glad you've forgiven me."
GoGo said, "Well, it wasn't easy. But I had to…so that we could move forward with our relationship."
Hiro then said, "So you stole my keys when we were making up?"
GoGo said, "Yeah…it was the key to this plan." Hiro said, "Huh…and all this time I thought you loved me tickling your tonsils."
GoGo said, "Ha Ha…very funny, genius. I hope you're ready for another round."
Hiro smiled at GoGo, and said, "Yes, ma'am!"
Meanwhile, across the ocean, a woman with short black hair was looking at an article-Team of Heroes foil plot. She smiled and thought, It would have been nice, Hiro…but I know you're happy with GoGo…
At that, a voice called out, "Serena? Serena?" Serena said, "I'm here, Nikos."
At that, a man with olive complexion came into the room. He said, "What have you been doing?"
She replied, "Just thinking about the past…"
Nikos said, "Oh…" She then kissed his cheek, and said "And looking towards the future. I think Sofia is hungry. Time for a feeding…"
On an island in the coldest place on Earth, several individuals gathered. They now numbered 5, after the defeat of Serena the Syren. They watched the events, and one-called Maximus Rex, said, "So…they are not as weak as we thought…but they will still fall to the Trans-Humans."
The other members looked at him, and lowered their heads as a sign of respect. Maximus Rex thought, Now the real battles will commence…
And with that, the 'Song of the Syren' comes to a close. But where one story ends…another begins…
Till the next go-around!
