Author note; I figured I should start explaining some things. 1) And if we meet forever now, Pull the blackout curtains down. Yes, the title is from the song! 2) I literally am making this up as i go along! I have no clue where I'm going, I only need to know where I've been. If you have any suggestions, please, PM me!
3) This surge of updates is probably going to keep coming sporadically, so don't lose faith in me, dear readers. I will do my best to never disappoint you.
For days, they searched, and searched, and searched for Tadashi, but there was no luck. Days turned into weeks. Weeks to months. Hiro never gave up hope though. He was going to find him.
He kept telling himself that.
Hiro noticed a change in Gogo in the passing months as well. She seemed angrier, more closed off to Hiro. She refused to meet with the group anymore, and even asked for her own office where she could be away from the others. It stung them all, considering how cool and relaxed she usually was. Hiro was forced, after a while, to tell them the truth about his brother, and it made him feel awful, seeing Honey Lemon cry, and seeing Fred and Wasabi with such looks of sadness on their faces. Well... Fred had expressed a slight disappointment that Tadashi was not a zombie, and Hiro had just rolled his eyes. Now, sitting at his desk, he was staring at the piled up plans he'd had laid out when a loud crash echoed from the workshop followed by the sounds of broken glass. Leaping up, Hiro ran to see what had happened, and was surprised at what he saw. It was as if the room had been targeted for a bomb blast, and it'd hit is mark. Although the sound hadn't been all that loud, the damage was enormous. And his friends were nowhere to be found.
"Guys?! Honey? Wasabi? Fred?!" He began digging around the rubble.
"Baymax?! Anyone?" He was getting scared now, practically screaming.
"Oh no. No, no, no, no, no!" He whispered. Wait, wait.
"Gogo!" He turned, running and flinging himself into the office. The girl was suiting up, just attaching the disks to her legs.
"I heard it too. Come on, suit up. We have to find them." She said simply, skating out and into the workshop while Hiro changed. It took about a minute for him to get ready, and he was out of the building before the alarm started sounding. His heart was pounding as he reached Gogo, who stood outside.
"Did you see anything?" He asked nervously, but she only shook her head. He let out a shaky sigh, then shook off the anxiety.
"Come on. Let's go." The girl began skating ahead, and Hiro ran after her, carefully weaving through the masses of people rushing towards the building. The sky was still bright, safe for the bits of ash and debris floating through the air.
What if they were dead?
No, that wasn't possible. They had to have gotten out.
As they ran, Gogo slowed herself.
"Where are we going?" Hiro asked, looking up at her, but she simply shrugged. Awesome, she had no clue what they were doing. It didn't make him feel any better about anything. He was so tired of losing people, and now he was stuck with Captain Raincloud herself.
Hiro frowned as his phone rang, the display coming up in his helmet visor.
"Hello? Aunt Cass?"
"Hiro, your friends are all here at the café, you need to get here now. Are you hurt? Is Gogo with you?"
"Everything is fine, Aunt Cass, we're on our way." Hiro's heart felt a bit lighter, but his aunt had sounded a bit foreboding. Maybe someone was hurt? What about Baymax?
"Gogo, Aunt Cass has everyone!" He called to her, and she gave a discreet nod.
"Good. Meet you there!" She called, skating down an alley. Hiro trusted her enough to know that she'd beat him there anyways, but he picked up his pace, hopping onto a trolley car, smiling awkwardly at a young girl who held a Big Hero 6 comic book.
Soon, the trolley passed by the café, and Hiro jumped off, bursting inside and looking around. His friends sat around a table, looking distraught and dirty. He gave a sigh of relief, glancing up at Gogo who stood by the counter, chatting with Cass.
"I am so glad to see you guys." Hiro grinned, and they looked up, smiling halfheartedly. "Did anyone see what or who did that to the labs?"
Honey didn't reply as she clutched her coffee cup to her chest, but Fred jumped up, nodding.
"I saw it! It was a huge missile! It was like-" He motioned with his hands.
"Pshhhhewwwwwww, brghhghghhhg!"
As if on cue, Baymax entered the café from the back room, and Hiro rushed to hug him.
"How did you guys get out?" Gogo asked, plopping down in a chair beside Honey, rubbing her back gently. The blonde looked a little surprised, but still didn't speak as Wasabi motioned to Baymax.
"He functions as a really good shield. He just… Grabbed us and we were out. We were gonna go back for you but you two were in your offices, and we knew you were okay."
"But… who would have tried to bomb the school?"
