Angel: I probably should've left a warning about some of the minor language for a T-rated story in the last chapter, but it slipped my mind since I was just trying to finish it by last Monday. There's no language in this episode XD Also, this episode was online before it was even noon yesterday! But I had work, so I couldn't watch it until I got back…the struggles…
In the Frederickson Candy Company, Roddy is laying down the blueprints. "Uh, chiefs? Need you to sign off on plans for the next room," He lifts up GoGo's feet, placing it back on the blueprint.
"Wow!" Hiro chuckles in awe. "Roddy...looks great."
"Yeah, we'll be happy to agree to this!" Hana gestures to it and in turn, he hands her a clipboard.
"Sign here, here, here, and initial here, both of you."
He hands the two of them pens and Hana decides to sign first.
"Yeah! Our headquarters is really coming together," Wasabi smiles at it.
"Wait! Hold it! There's a problem," Fred rubs his chin, eyeing the plans. "I don't see where the lazy river's going to go."
"Lazy what?" Roddy asks in defense, arms crossed.
"River," Fred elaborates to him.
"I don't think we have room for that, Freddy," Honey Lemon shakes her head.
"Um, yes we do," Fred pulls out a red marker, drawing all over the blueprint. "It could go here, and here, and through here, and ooh, here!"
"Oh, my blueprints..." Roddy shakes a little as Fred messes it up entirely.
"There there," Baymax pats his shoulder.
"That's a tunnel," Fred points to it on his drawing.
"Fred, this is a headquarters, not an amusement park," GoGo tells him.
"Yeah...but Hana, back me up on this!"
Her eyes widen at being addressed, then it turns into a blank look as she hands Hiro the clipboard. "And why would I do that? This is supposed to be a serious thing."
"Ohh...I hate it when you girls are right..." He taps his chin with the marker, planting three red dots under his mouth. "So just a wave pool then?"
The others except Baymax groan, walking away from him. "Water slide? Rain room? Hana Banana, I need a second motion for agreement!"
"No. To any of those," She calls out.
"Ooh, ooh, I know, I know! Fish tank!"
"...Tell you what. I can do an extra large sink in the little hero's room," Roddy offers, Fred shaking hands with him. That way, everyone wins and it wouldn't be unnecessary big.
"Deal!"
He walks off and Roddy gathers his blueprint, walking away. "Nice work."
Fred is on the phone, whispering. "Hi yes, I need to cancel my order for a large number of pool floaties..."
A limo is driving around town at night, being watched by a human female with a nimble physique, pale skin, blue eyes, and white hair styled in a pixie cut. On her face, she has red streaks covering her eyes followed with smaller red streaks across her cheeks it while a small mole is visible near her nose. She wears a white V-neck unitard with the neck, arms, and legs being red, and her chest and back covered in black. She wears small bracelets around her hands and white poms on her feet.
She does a handstand on the roof, watching the limo leave at the green. She flips and spins, using the stoplight to help her swing to the top of a moving truck. She looks up ahead at the limo, and when the truck turns left, she leaps and frontflips onto a wire. She then jumps to another roof, using her acrobatic skills to get around. She stops on another roof, smiling to herself.
The limo arrives at Krei Tech, where Krei himself steps out. He's talking on his Krei Tech K phone. "Well, I'm in a hurry, Mother. I have to get to the opera, but I forgot my glasses."
The acrobatic woman lands on top of the limo, flipping towards the front door. "I can't go without them." He laughs as she slips through. "Oh, I don't care about the opera," Krei signs in using his card, the guard standing up and smiling at him. "The glasses are for hate-watching the audience."
The woman flips past the guard like it was nothing.
Krei presses a button to get to his office. "Last time, Harry Stubend fell asleep, right next to Harry Templeton's shoulder! A single strand of drool fell like an angel's tear!"
The woman is hiding in the elevator on the roof, moving her hand so that the door opens for her. She flips inside the office. Krei starts looking through his drawers.
"Nothing. Not there." The first one has the opera glasses inside. "Ah ha, got 'em!" His phone beeps and he looks to see who it is. "Hold on, Mother, I have to take this."
His phone slips out of his hand, since he never fixed that issue with them. "Officer Cruz! My favorite client!" The woman flips in front of the computer. "How are those Buddy Guards working out for you?"
She starts downloading something onto a flash drive.
"That sounds like that hurts! Uh, could you just turn it off and turn it back on again?" The phone slips out of his hands again, falling onto the ground. "Get back here!"
She's hiding right behind his chair. "Sorry. This phone, it's weirdly slippery." It falls out of his grip once more, the woman flipping around as he spins the chair to get it back. "It's so slippery! Like a fish! Officer? Mother!" He stands up, the woman flipping onto the desk and grabbing her flash drive back. "How did you-Probably all the dropping. Anyway, I've gotta get to the show...uh, ooh, wait, where's my earplugs? You want me to listen to an opera? Don't be absurd!"
While using his goggles, he slides his chair to his computer, finally noticing what happened. "Wait a minute! No, not you, Mother. Download?! Ugh! ...I think I've just been robbed."
The phone flies onto the floor.
Back in Megan's room, she's looking at their conspiracy board. The two hold up pictures of the twins to their superhero selves. Karmi lets out a gasp, looking between the four pictures.
"Hiro...Hana...they're Captain Cutie and Lady Electrica?! ...Oh my god...I can't believe this..." She puts a hand to her mouth. "Your father…shot at Hana!"
"Neither can we," Mikey narrows his eyes, angry at them. No wonder why they kept acting weird all the time, and using study groups as an excuse to leave.
"Megan, Mikey! Headin' to work!"
"Oh! Okay," Megan hides both pictures behind her back.
"Home for dinner?"
"Definitely! Love you!" They wave to him.
"Love you too," He waves back, leaving the hall. "Bye Karmi!"
"Bye Officer," She calls out, all of them sighing in relief. "So what do we do?"
"Hm...it's time we all had a talk with them," Megan states, placing their pictures over their superhero identities. Karmi's eyes soften a little. She still couldn't wrap her head around it...she shipped them in her fanfiction, which Hana was seemingly okay with! But then again...the two did always look sick whenever she mentioned them. Here she thought that her friend actually had a crush on Captain Cutie!
The twins are eating lunch together, eyeing their tablets. Hiro eats his fries that goes with his grilled cheese while Hana takes a bite out of her salad. Baymax waddles up to the two, holding his fingers out to their glasses.
"Proper hydration is crucial to good health," He pours them some water.
"Good to know," Hiro takes a sip.
"Thanks Baymax," Hana smiles at him, sipping some.
"Enjoy!"
She chuckles at his thumbs up, turning towards Hiro. "At least people have gotten used to the fact that I eat here."
"Yeah, it's almost...normal," Hiro grins as she waves to a couple of people, who wave back. Megan, Mikey, and Karmi enter the café, noticing Mochi crawling towards Hana. He jumps into her hands and she smiles, patting the top of his head.
They take a deep breath, wondering how this was gonna go. These were their friends...and yet they lied right to all of their faces.
"Hey guys," Megan speaks up first.
"Hey, what's up?" Hiro looks up at them.
"Hi everyone!" Hana smiles towards the three, holding up the cat. "Say hi, Mochi."
With her help, his paw waves to them with a meow. While they did admit that it's good to see the girl like this, they couldn't forget about the fact that they lied.
"Uh, nothing," Megan answers Hiro's question. "...Actually, we all wanted to talk to you about something."
"And it's really important," Mikey gives them a serious look.
"Really?" Hana puts down the cat. "What about?"
Before Karmi could say anything, their phones buzz. "Sorry," Hiro looks at his phone to see a message from GoGo. Hana sees the same text:
Meet at Krei Tech.
"Shoot, we have to run," Hiro stands up.
"Study group?" Megan asks suspiciously.
"Again," Karmi stares at them.
"Yeah. You know, always studying, as a group. Can we talk later?"
"We're really sorry about this," Hana gathers up her things.
"Actually, it needs to be-"
"Later, guys! Bye!" Hiro moves around the three, hiding behind Baymax.
"We'll be back soon!" Hana quickly moves past Baymax, who waves to the trio.
"Goodbye..."
Megan huffs in frustration at what just happened. "Don't worry, we'll get them to talk," Mikey tells her.
"I know that we're supposed to be angry at the twins, but I think you're taking this too personal, Mikey," Karmi crosses her arms at him.
"Yeah, it's because he had a crush on Hana's...superhero identity," Megan whispers the last two words, but he still hears it anyway.
"I'm fine!" He shouts, even though he didn't mean to.
The three are watching the security cam footage of what happened last night at Krei Tech. "So the thief was behind you the whole time," Hiro rewinds the part where Krei's phone flies above his head. Hana snickers, holding her stomach and laughing, kneeling on the floor.
"Wow," GoGo comments in disbelief, over that and Hana's laughter in a way she's never seen before.
"I'm sorry," Hana giggles, pointing at the footage that Hiro is rewinding back and forth. "But I just can't help myself! She was behind you the whole time and you didn't even notice! Ha ha!"
"Okay, maybe there could be less mocking and laughing?" Krei asks defensively, crossing his arms. "And more solving?"
Hiro nudges Hana and she keeps a stoic look, biting her lip as she stands up. "Can you, uh, think of anything the thief would be after?" He asks after clearing his throat.
"There's a lot of top-secret development information on my computer; it could be anything!" He explains, sitting at his desk.
"Is that a unitard?" GoGo wonders as she inspects the thief's outfit.
Baymax blinks once. "Yes."
The twins get a phone call, Megan calling Hiro and Karmi calling Hana. They both hang up, looking up at the robot. "Baymax, can you scan for any visible biometric data?"
"Scanning now." Baymax scans her face and quickly scans some people in San Fransokyo, finding her through the eye color. "I have identified a match. Celine Simard."
"She studied physics, put herself through school working as an acrobat in Montreal-"
"Acrobat?" Krei asks in surprise. He's definitely never heard of one being a thief.
"Yeah, stage name Sirque."
"Huh. Kinda like Cirque du Soleil," Hana crosses her arms, getting a look from Krei. "Oh! I speak French. I'm pretty good too."
"That explains the unitard," GoGo notes the outfit.
"And how she was able to flip around unnoticed."
"Yeah, see! That could've happened to anybody," Krei defends, his phone slipping away again.
"Sure," GoGo replies sarcastically.
"But what would she want from him?" Hana jerks a thumb to the business man.
"Huh...her troop performed all over the world," Hiro pulls up a map to show Asia, Europe, South America...
"Yeah, and she was stealing all over the world," GoGo points out, touching a thief icon and a blip on the globe.
"So an acrobat and a thief," Krei pouts a little.
"And a physicist," GoGo adds in.
"Which means whatever she took from Krei's computer..."
"She actually knows how to use," GoGo finishes for him.
"Which means it's up to us to figure what it was she downloaded before it's too late," Hana narrows her eyes.
"Krei wasn't kidding," Hiro comments to his sister. "He's got hundreds of projects in development...geo-engineering, opto-genetics, Sirque could've been after anything."
"The dude's got so many projects, I'm surprised he can keep track of all of it," Hana gestures to her computer from her desk. "Sirque only downloaded one thing, we just have to find out what..."
"Sirque?" Megan pops up between them.
"Who's that?" Mikey asks suspiciously, Karmi standing next to him.
"G-Guys!" The twins stammer, quickly unplugging their computers.
"Hello Megan, Mikey, and Karmi," Baymax greets all of them.
"What's up?" Hiro questions nervously, hoping they didn't see anything.
"Why'd you turn your screens off?" Megan glances between the two.
"Oh, uh, no reason. Been staring at it all day," He chuckles, spinning around the cord.
"Yup! It's not good for your eyes," Hana smiles widely.
"It's a, uh, health thing! Help us out, Baymax," Hiro nudges the robot.
"Here is a handy tip," Baymax shows an animation. "Adequate lighting, proper screen placement, and taking regular breaks reduces risk of eye strain."
"Right," The three reply coldly, which the two don't notice.
"Y-You guys want pizza? Aunt Cass just made-"
"we know who Big Hero 7 are!" Megan suddenly exclaims, frowning deeply.
The two peek at them, glancing at each other quickly. "Oh, uh, really...Who?"
"Yeah...it's been this big story for you two," Hana looks at Megan and Mikey. All of them turn around to face the twins.
"You," They all say in unison.
"You can't tell anyone!" The twins exclaim immediately, seeing all of their glares.
"You can't tell anyone we're Big Hero 7, all of you," Hiro makes that extremely clear.
"Ho ho ho, what?"
"Especially not your father, guys," He turns to the Cruz Twins.
"Or any of your fans," Hana glances at Karmi.
"So instead of apologizing for lying to all three of us this whole time, you're giving us orders?!" Megan demands angrily.
"Were you just trying to make a fool out of me?" Mikey points accusingly at the girl. "To toy with my feelings like this?!"
"No!" Hana sighs at him. "Not at all! We had our reasons for it."
"…So that's just it, then? You don't feel anything for me?"
Her eyes widen slowly, turning around and taking a deep breath. She didn't really know if she even had any sort of feelings for him, or for anyone. He's definitely her friend…a good one…
When he said all of those things about her, it felt nice… and she did stutter.
"I… I don't know…I'm sorry, Mikey… I just…I'm not used to having those type of feelings again. A boy that I liked…he ended up being someone he wasn't and then he…" She closes her eyes. "What I do know is that you're my friend, and I don't wanna lead you on like this…"
"Megan, Karmi, Mikey...this is important," Hiro says slowly.
"Exactly! Which is why our dad needs to know!" Megan gestures to herself and Mikey.
"I knew that it was crucial to know your identities, but for you to keep a secret from us?" Karmi gestures to herself. "I idolized you two!"
"Look, if you tell him, he'll shut us down! And Hana might not be so lucky next time!" Hiro whispers to her, giving Hana a look. She runs over to the garage door and closes it.
"Maybe that's a good thing!" Megan narrows her eyes at the both of them.
"No, it's not! People in this city will get hurt because we won't be there to help!"
"You guys don't get it, we're needed for things outside the police's expertise! And if you think shooting at me was a problem, watch what your father will do to me if you tell him! Or anyone else, for that matter!" Hana points towards outside.
"Have you ever thought that the city doesn't need Big Hero 7?" Megan asks with a glare.
"Our father is an officer because of you!" Mikey points to the two of them.
"No, he's an officer now because of his own actions. I didn't make him order his troops to go after me. I didn't force him to pull out a gun and try to shoot me. That's his own problem to deal with on his own," Hana grits her teeth, pointing a finger at Megan's chest. "And if he decides to hurt me next time, that'll be on you! You really want that on your shoulders?"
"And no, we have not thought that because it's ridiculous!" Hiro hisses back to Megan in defense.
"Well maybe it's better than having lying people as defenders for San Fransokyo," Karmi points an angry finger at the two of them.
"She's right! We have the police!"
"The police can't do what we do," Hiro gestures to himself and Hana.
"As much as you love your father, they can't do everything!" Hana exclaims to them. "I know it's a lot to ask, and we're sorry, but if we can't keep the city safe with our identities out in the open...who's gonna help everyone when the police can't?"
The three walk around the two and they stand there sadly. They didn't want to have this kind of conversation with their friends...and yet here they are.
"Karmi, Megan, and Mikey are leaving."
"Come with us!" The two suddenly exclaim, turning around. They couldn't let them walk away without at least defending themselves over their actions.
"Shadow us! We'll prove it!"
"Yeah, no," Megan deadpans as they continue walking. "Our father would kill the both of us."
"He'd never go with it," Mikey rolls his eyes.
"W-We'll even take you to our secret headquarters!" Hiro stammers, as it might just be enough for them to keep quiet, and for the twins to change their story for the paper. Hana stares at Hiro open-mouthed and he mouths 'I'll do the talking with the others.'
"...Fine. A behind-the-scenes look at your headquarters will be a great side-bar to our article."
"And for my fanfiction," Karmi grins a bit.
"Yeah, but maybe, if you'll learn more about us and why we do this...you'll all change your minds."
"Don't count on it," Megan replies coldly, Mikey just giving Hana a tiny glare. She glances away at their anger. But Hiro still had to ask them one thing.
"...How did you find out, anyway?"
"...Tadashi," Megan turns around to face them. "His connection to Callaghan, that was the missing piece."
"And they showed me their board after they told me," Karmi tells them.
The twins just smile a little. "...You really are Super Sleuth Cruz Twins."
Birds fly out of their headquarters as they all stand in front of the gates. Even the logo flies off. "This is your headquarters?" Megan asks skeptically, Hiro laughing in slight embarrassment.
"Looks aren't everything," Hana opens the gate, swinging her arm and knocking the logo on the gate back in place.
The doors slowly open, Basemax activating. "Alert. I have detected intruders in-" Hiro quickly deactivates the alarm.
"So," Hana gestures to everything. "What do you think?"
"Okay...I'm impressed," Megan chuckles a little.
"It's actually pretty cool," Mikey smiles at their surroundings.
"No one would suspect a thing," Karmi hums as she takes a look around.
"Don't touch anything!" Roddy exclaims, frightening all of them.
"Who's that?" Megan points up at him.
"Oh, that's Roddy," Hiro explains to them.
"Roddy Blair," Baymax holds up a finger. "King of lairs."
"Paint's still wet. Wait..." He notices the three other teenagers. "There's 10 of you now?"
"No, this is Megan, her twin brother Mikey, and Karmi. They're our friends-"
"My brother and I are reporters," Megan holds out her hand. Mikey snaps some photos of the lair.
"And I'm a writer of fanfiction," Karmi waves a little.
"Ha ha, you brought reporters and a writer to your lair! Oh ho ho ho, rookie moves. Boss Awesome would never do that."
"If three of his friends found out his identity, he would," Hana defends, hands on her hips. His eyes widen at the situation, slowly tugging the rope and going back up towards the roof without another word. Hiro chuckles awkwardly and then takes them to the conference room, where the others are.
"And then I said-" Wasabi drops his milk, Honey Lemon cringing. GoGo turns her head to them as the silence is immediately tense.
"Wait..." Fred leans in, not seeing the three since his back is facing them. "What did you say?"
Wasabi coughs into his fist. "Behind you."
"Behind you? You said behind you. Why would you say behind you?" Fred stares at him in confusion.
"Because we're here," Megan speaks up.
"Hang on, you guys. I'm trying to get to the bottom of this whole behind you thing."
GoGo slowly turns his head to the trio in annoyance. He screams once he sees them, falling off his chair and onto the floor. "Oh! Megan, Karmi, Mikey!"
"Uhhh, welcome to our candy factory!" Honey Lemon tries to explain it as best as she can. "Care for a gum drop or perhaps some jelly beans?"
"We all know you're Big Hero 7," Megan tells them bluntly.
"We figured it out ourselves," Mikey crosses his arms.
"What?! Nooo," Fred once again tries to deny it. "Big Hero who?" He presses on some buttons, their suits being shown to the trio.
"So cool!" Karmi's eyes shine at them.
Fred glances between them and the suits, whistling as he stands in front of his suit. Hiro sighs, dragging a hand down his face.
"Dude," Hana gives him a look of disbelief.
"Twins, a word," GoGo drags the two by their ears over to the others. "Why are they here?!"
"Seriously, guys?! This is a big superhero no-no! Right up there with going back in time to stop yourselves from doing something you already did!" Fred shouts at the two.
"Guys, listen," Hiro looks at them nervously. "They figured out who we are, so we...had to bring them here."
"We're not happy about this either, and yes we should've told you, but they connected everything to us: Callaghan, the fire, Krei, Tadashi..." Hana rubs her ear in slight pain.
"Wait!" Fred suddenly exclaims with a smile. "What if you traveled back in time to stop yourselves from bringing them here?!"
"You just said that was...you know what, never mind..." Wasabi stops himself, looking away.
"Hana, you're okay with this?" Honey Lemon glances at the three.
"Ideally...no. But we can't constantly watch them 24/7 if we went back in time. Even if we could, what's gonna stop them from figuring it out all over again, and then we have to have this conversation a second time?" Hana glances towards the ceiling, sighing. "We all know that they'd still pursue this whether we liked it or not."
Hiro jumps onto the table, sitting on it. "Look, we think if they see what we do, they'll keep our secret," Hiro smiles a little, Hana sitting in a chair.
"So…who do you like?" Karmi couldn't help but ask.
"Well…" Hana crosses her arms, leaning against her chair. "I can tell you right now it's not my own brother. Or anyone else on the team for that matter!"
The girl chuckles at Hana's scrunched up nose and Hiro's gagging. Thank goodness they got that out of the way…
"Not Hardlight," Hana shudders at the memory of that teddy bear. "And…I…I just don't know with Mikey. I trust him and I do think he's a nice person… and smart in ways I couldn't imagine. But…does that mean I like him in that way? We do hang out a lot…"
"Do you still have feelings for that other boy you talked about before?"
She sighs softly, closing her eyes. "You mean Trent…he and his sister were bot fighters, like Hiro and I were-"
"Isn't that illegal?" Karmi blinks, snickering and crossing her arms. "Even with the police, never pegged you for a criminal, Hana Mae Hamada."
"Bot fighting is not illegal. Betting on it is," Hana smirks a little towards her. "Minor charges to my records. Anyway, we started doing it again to stop these bot robberies, and…over time, the more I saw him, the more I liked him…until I found out they were behind the robberies. We confronted them, and then he revealed himself to be a robot…" She looks away sadly. "And then he was gone…"
"What…happened to them?" Karmi asks sympathetically, placing a hand on Hana's shoulders.
"Trina got away. She's also Obake's daughter…and Trent…self-destructed right in front of me…"
"Oh my god," The girl gasps, covering her mouth in shock. "…And where's Trina now?"
"She's working with Noodle Burger Boy…I don't know what she's planning to do now… she saw her brother explode, you know..the remote he activated landed on me…"
"And she thinks you did it," Karmi finishes knowingly.
"…Yeah…" Hana nods slowly. "But I had nothing to do with it. If I knew that he had a self-destructive remote, I could've stopped him. I could've convinced him not to do it. He was right there in front of me and gone in an instant."
"But…that shouldn't stop you from being happy with someone else…"
Hana suddenly sweats a little. "I get it, but…why are you so interested in my love life?"
"Honey Lemon and Fred kept whisper-debating about it and I got curious."
"Mm," Hana growls a little, directing a glare towards the two. They just whistle, looking away, Hiro's phone buzzing. He looks at it and laughs. "Perfect! Bank robbery!"
GoGo stops the two. "We'll suit up. You two deal with this."
"Wait, what? GoGo-!"
"No wait. You brought them here, you deal with it," GoGo points a finger at the girl, running off. Hana grunts in defeat.
"What are you waiting for?" The three run up to the twins. "Let's go!"
"Seeing Big Hero 7 in action again!" Karmi squeals a little.
"Wait, so that chapter from your fanfiction actually happened?!" Mikey turns to her in shock.
"A story for another time, but we can't let you come," Hana shakes her head.
"She's right, I don't think that's-"
"You offered to let us shadow. This is shadowing," Megan points out. "Or...we could just," She clicks her pen. "Publish our stories."
The Hamada Twins sigh, looking towards each other. They didn't have a choice...
Megan and Karmi scream as they fly on Baymax, holding onto Hiro. Hana is sitting sideways on a small line of electricity, Mikey shouting as he wobbles around behind her. It's almost like a broomstick. All three are wearing helmets, and the superhero trio are in their ultra armor.
"Hey! How's the shadowing going?" Hiro shouts, looking over his shoulder at the two girls.
"Fine!"
"This is amazing!" Karmi cheers at the view.
"You do this all the time?!" Mikey screeches at Hana.
"No: this is the first time I've done it like this, actually!" She chuckles at his scared expression. The flying pair fly towards the turbines, Mikey finally balancing himself and taking a deep breath. He smiles, touching one of the turbines in awe. They fly past them, flying past the clouds.
The girls look up, gasping sharply. The six fly into the clouds, Hana's feet dangling over the electricity. Hiro chuckles at all of their faces, Hana giggling. Baymax dives, flying past a building as Hana's transportation swoops down. Mikey screams a little, hugging her. She stiffens, blushing at his sudden touch around her.
They soar past the glass, the three noticing their reflections and smiling. The twins look at them and then each other, smiling too. They finally arrive at the bank, landing safely. Hana holds out her hand towards the girls.
"You're not gonna electrocute us on accident, are you?" Megan wonders curiously.
"No!" Hana giggles at the two. "They're not even activated right now. And besides, even if they were, they don't electrocute to harm people."
She helps them down, the others arriving. "You three wait here," Hiro tells them.
"No way! We're going in!" Megan protests to the two.
"And have them come after you since you have nothing to protect you? No thanks," Hana crosses her arms, whistling to Honey Lemon. She activates her purse and throws three chem balls that turn into the bunny armor.
"Hey! Come on!" They all protest.
"Sorry, it's for your own safety, let's go!" Hana calls out quickly, the others running inside, Baymax flying in. The three teenagers try to move, falling onto the sidewalk.
"Ugh. She's too good," Karmi shakes her head slowly.
The vault is already open as money flies around inside. GoGo slides to a stop. "Someone's in the vault," She whispers to the twins.
"Hey! You've got no way out!" Hiro shouts to the robber.
"Yeah! It's surrender o'clock," Fred points to his arm.
"Okay, don't ever say that again," Hana closes her eyes.
"Okay," Sirque holds up her hands. "I guess you've got me. I'm coming out."
"Oh, she's cooperating," He places his hands on his hips in surprise. "Good, but keep your hands where we can see them!"
She flips onto the ground with a handstand, bending her legs. "Well that works too...Lady Electrica, you've got competition."
"Ha! That'll be the day," Hana snorts in amusement.
"Sirque," Hiro glares at her and she wiggles her fingers as a wave.
"Bonjour, Big Hero 7," She says in a French accent, Wasabi chuckling.
"Oh, I love the accent!"
"Oh! I love your outfit," Honey Lemon comments with a smile.
"Uh, guys? Robbery in progress!" Hiro gestures to her.
"You can admire her later," Hana rolls her eyes, knowing fully well that Sirque is nothing against her. The two smile sheepishly as Sirque gets back on her feet.
"Alors, I'm done. Fini!" She bows to them.
"Tu ne t'en vas pas, Sirque!" Hana declares, narrowing her eyes.
"Oh! Tu parle francais! Magnifique," Sirque smirks at the girl, flipping into the air. She uses Fred to vault herself into the air, landing in front of the trio, who had somehow gotten inside. "Au revoir!" She then flips out the door, the 7 speeding past their friends and causing them to spin around. They fall onto the floor again.
"Guys! Wait!" Karmi calls out.
"You forgot us!" Mikey gives them a tiny glare.
Once they're out of the bank, there's no sign of Sirque anywhere. "Where'd she go?" Fred looks around.
"Baymax," Hiro turns to the robot. "Can you locate her?"
"Scanning now," Baymax scans the city. "Sirque is located in Torii Gate Park."
"Torii Gate Park?" GoGo turns to the others in disbelief.
"That can't be right," Hiro rubs his neck.
"Is your scan operable, Baymax?" Hana looks up at him.
"I do not detect any scan interference. My scanner is operational."
"But that's miles from here," Honey Lemon states, and then they hear the sirens...
"We've gotta go!"
GoGo speeds past the three, Honey Lemon noticing them. "Oh!" She creates three more chem balls, setting them free. The remains land on their faces.
"Please...don't do that again," Megan deadpans at her.
"It's gross, but it's cool," Karmi squeezes some between her fingers.
"Next time warn us, though!" Mikey points at Honey Lemon. They shake off the rest of the goop, noticing something. A couple of blue tiny balls are in front of them.
"Megan, come on," Hiro calls out as she inspects one.
"Wait...what are these?" Megan holds one up.
Hiro stares at the object in his hand. "Huh...I wonder if-"
Fred takes one into his hand while wearing Hiro's gloves. "It's magnetic."
"And super fun to play with!" Hiro moves them around between his hands.
"But why would Sirque have these?" Hana gestures to the objects.
"They must work together somehow," Honey Lemon looks up at Fred.
"Some kind of magnetic containment field?" GoGo asks curiously.
"Yeah, but for what?" Wasabi questions, moving back as Fred uses the tiny objects towards him. Hiro sighs slowly, knowing only one thing that needs that kind of tech.
"I know what Sirque stole from Krei..." Hiro brings up the same symbol they haven't seen for months. "Project Silent Sparrow."
The others look on with wide eyes. The balls hit Fred in the face, knocking him onto the ground. "Oh no..." Hana whispers slowly.
"What is Silent Sparrow?" Megan stands up.
"And how do you know about it?" Mikey points between the twins.
Hiro brings up the footage. "Krei Tech was testing portal technology," Honey Lemon starts off, a video of the portals playing.
"It wasn't ready," Wasabi continues seriously as they watch one of the portals explode. "The pilot got trapped."
Hiro shows a picture of Abigail. "We got the pilot out and the project was abandoned, but...I guess Krei kept the files."
"And...the pilot was Callaghan's daughter," Hana tells their friends, their eyes widening. "Since he thought she was gone forever, he became Yokai and...well, you figured out the rest...I still can't believe Krei kept those files on the same project that endangered the city!"
"And Sirque got the plans," Fred slides over to Hana, nudging her. "By the way, you jealous of her? I can tell."
She rolls her eyes, pushing him away with her foot. "Now she's using the same tech."
"Yeah, the same unstable tech," GoGo points out.
"Which means?" The three ask, turning to the twins.
"She's creating a miniature localized portal," Hiro looks up at the video.
"That she uses to get from one place to another in an instant!"
"Which explains how she ended up at Torii Gate Park from the bank in seconds," Hana crosses her arms.
"But the portal could blow up at any minute!" Wasabi frowns in worry. Sirque may have stolen the plans and copied it, but there was no way she knows how unstable it is.
"How big of an explosion are we talking about?" Megan glances at the other two.
Fred looks at them in the eye. "...I don't know," He takes off his hat, revealing jelly beans inside it. "Want jelly beans?"
"Ew, no," Karmi pushes the beans away.
"How big?" Megan asks again, turning to GoGo.
"City-block big," She elaborates to the three. Mikey gasps sharply.
"We can't let that happen," Hiro narrows his eyes in determination.
"Not again," Hana shakes her head rapidly.
"This is crazy!" Megan exclaims over the whole thing. "We have to go talk to our father. Maybe he can-"
"Megan," Hiro interrupts her, doing some tweaking to his suit. Hana's doing the same thing. "The police don't have the tech to deal with this. The tech doesn't even exist...yet," There's a smug smirk on his face.
"Yet?"
"Look over there," Hana smiles, pointing to the schematics of the twins' gear. Once they're back in it, they stand in front of the three and Baymax.
"What do you think?"
"Uhh," Megan glances at the other two. "Is it different?"
"What exactly did you change?" Mikey couldn't help but wonder.
"Yeah, it looks exactly the same..." Karmi crosses her arms. Hiro presses the button on his chest while Hana stomps her foot lightly. Thrusters appear from their hands and feet, lifting them up into the air.
"Okay, that's different," Megan points at them in shock.
"Don't you have thrusters?" Mikey looks to Hana.
"Yes, but they're now able to withstand a...a different purpose," She smiles a little, deciding not to reveal the plan until later.
"I just have to-whoa!" Hiro goes flying above their heads, Hana snickering at him.
"Are you okay?" Megan asks as they all stare at him flying around the room.
"Not really!" He calls out.
"There is significant risk of injury," Baymax stares at him. "I have run a diagnostic analysis. Your thrusters are not coordinating properly."
"Unlike Hana's..." Karmi glances at the girl.
"Yeah, I got that!" Hiro shouts as he spins around. "I need you to catch me when I turn off my thrusters! Sis, get him into position!"
"I will catch you."
Hana pushes Baymax towards Hiro, who turns off the thrusters. The robot catches him into his arms. "I have caught you."
The girls couldn't help but laugh a little at the way it looks and Hiro coughs in embarrassment. Fred suddenly arrives in the room.
"Guys! Sirque's at the art museum! Aww," He sees Hiro in Baymax's arm. "You're playing baby, Hiro? Can I be the baby next?"
Hiro blushes as the girls continue laughing and he jumps out of his friend's arms. "Sure, Fred. After the museum."
"YES!" Fred shouts, jumping backwards and the doors closing in front of him.
"I've gotta make some quick adjustments," Hiro tells everyone.
"I have some concerns," Baymax states as the other three cringe.
"Us too..."
"Ditto."
"Oh yeah..."
"I'll help you," Hana smiles at her brother, placing a hand on his shoulder. "That way, we can get done faster to deal with Sirque."
The police arrive at the museum across Noodle Burger, stepping out of the cars. Five Buddy Guards appear above their heads, having used their display technology. Officer Cruz steps out of his car, stopped by Chief Marquez herself.
"You know your orders. Stand down," She narrows her eyes at him. He grits his teeth, clenching his fists.
The officers run inside as the team are hiding behind the neon letters of the restaurant.
"Okay, hang back. We don't want the police to see us," Hiro replies to everyone.
Sirque lands in front of the entrance. "Au bonsoir, genters. How wonderful to see you," She greets them with a small smile.
"Buddy Guards, go!"
The robots charge forward and she flips around, throwing the orbs in front of her. They form into a circle and a portal forms. The Buddy Guards fly into it and end up at the lighthouse, far away from the museum.
"For my next trick," Sirque flips down the stairs. "I need a volunteer."
Not wanting to be teleported to who knows where, the officers all run away. "Retreat!" Chief Marquez yells, running off, knowing that her allies are already here. Officer Cruz looks around suspiciously, the team luckily hiding behind the sign. He runs off to go locate the other officers. He didn't care what the woman said, they could deal with this on their own.
"We need to stop Sirque and stabilize that portal."
"Could not agree more! Any ideas?" Wasabi looks to them for suggestions.
"I'm gonna follow her," Hiro declares to them.
"Follow her where?" Fred takes off the top part of his suit.
"Into the portal."
"No. Way," GoGo denies immediately.
"GoGo's right, Hiro. You'd have to travel back through...there," Honey Lemon says slowly. Hana takes a deep breath, letting it out.
"I know..." He murmurs, glancing at Hana, whose eyes soften at the memory.
"But last time...Baymax..."
"Wait..." Megan looks up at Honey Lemon. "What happened last time?"
"Oh, nothing much," Fred looks away. "Just the twins almost died there!"
"And they lost the original Baymax," Wasabi adds in, the three staring at the twins. "The one Tadashi built..."
"It's the only way. Someone has to go."
"Which is why you're not doing it alone," Hana steps up to him.
"Absolutely not! You'll stay here where it's safe-"
"Hiro, you're my brother, and we're a team," She points at his chest. "So we can either argue about this and waste time, or we can work together to follow her. Besides...it's about time Sirque got put in her place," She smirks a little.
"So you were jealous!" Fred shouts to her annoyance. Hiro smiles at her, nodding.
"Okay. Together." They fist-bump each other.
"Neither of you are going!" GoGo tells the two.
"I'll go," Honey Lemon offers immediately.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa! If anyone's going in, it's me, Fred!" Fred declares and Hana turns around to them.
"We don't have time to argue. I built this suit to do this."
"And I modified my thrusters to withstand that kind of tech," Hana points to her hand.
"It is not field-tested," Baymax informs them.
"Please be careful..." Honey Lemon says softly, a bit worried.
"We will," Hiro grins a bit, looking at the four. "Ready?"
Fred puts his mask back on as they all smile at the duo.
Sirque lands on a roof, rolling and then leaping between walls. She flips onto the roof, seeing the team in front of her. "Big Hero 7! You enjoy the show?"
"That's a no," GoGo retorts back.
"Well, I can fix that!"
She backflips over them, flipping onto the roof and then onto the edge, balancing herself with one finger. "Holding for applause!"
Wasabi is about to clap when GoGo stops him. "Tough crowd. No encore for you." And with that, she jumps off, falling towards the ground.
"Here we go!"
Hana takes off into a run, backflipping onto the roof to do a better handstand. She gets onto her feet and sawndives. Sirque opens up another portal, falling through it. The twins rocket themselves through the portal, going through just in time. The others look over the edge.
"Hiro...Hana..." Karmi, Megan, and Mikey murmur in concern.
Sirque lands on her feet at another street. "Magnifique!"
The twins arrive through the portal. "Still here!"
"Bonjour," Hana smirks with a wink.
"What?!" She says in shock, turning around to see them. She takes off into a run, the two flying after her. She swings around the pole to go around the corner, Hiro bumping onto a wall while flying. Hana touches the street as she slides slightly to the right, running next to her brother. Sirque slides underneath two men moving a TV, Hiro jumping over them. Hana flips forward and when her hands touch the sidewalk, she vaults herself into the air, flying over the two.
Once they get to a busy street, they don't notice her anywhere. Hiro comes to a stop, only to see a moving trolley heading towards him.
"Hiro!" Hana leaps forward, hugs his waist, and they both go flying onto the street.
"Thanks..." He pants a little as she sits up. "You okay?"
"Yeah..." They both look up and see Sirque standing on top of the trolley. She gives them a two-finger salute. Hiro grits his teeth, firing one of his magnets. Hana throws an electric whip. The magnetic pulse connects to his glove while Hana manages to catch the tail-end of the trolley. Sirque turns around and sees what's going on, and the two pull. They leap into the air, landing on the roof. The two lunge towards her, but she flips off the trolley and swings onto a traffic light, landing in front of two cars that suddenly stop. The twins use their thrusters to get onto the streets, running after her.
She jumps off a couple of cars and tosses the orbs, jumping into another portal. Hiro rockets forward, Hana flying above him as they enter inside.
They end up in Fred's room, where Heathcliff is dusting the giant kaiju figure, listening to music with headphones on. Sirque grips onto the kaiju hanging in the ceiling and it eventually falls. The two almost crash right into the butler, Hana quickly writing a note and leaving it on the floor. They continue to chase Sirque, disappearing just as he turns around and sees the mess. He drops his feather duster in dismay, seeing the note on the floor.
We'll explain later, but we're sorry about the mess!
Hana
A street kitty is eating when it freaks out at the portal nearby. Sirque slides to a stop, turning around to the twins.
"Ugh! You're getting very annoying!" She groans at them.
"Arretez-vous la!" Hana calls out, but she runs off anyway and creates a portal in front of a ship. Except this time, the containment field is starting to go unstable, as it's showing a pinkish color. Sirque looks at it in confusion, but only for a brief second as the three go through. The kitty gets sucked up into it as well.
Sirque jumps into the news station, rolling away from the twins once they've entered. Hiro looks in confusion at the kitty in his arms.
"Aww, kitty!" Hana beams, taking it into her hands and holding it up into the air. It meows at her and she hugs it. "Don't worry, I'll make sure you're taken somewhere safe!"
"Hana!" Hiro exclaims at her.
"Not gonna apologize for wanting to help a cute kitty!" She replies in defense as they scramble onto their feet. They end up in the hall, looking around for her when Hana points to her left. "Over there!"
"Sirque!" They sprint down the hall. "Listen to us!"
Bluff is just about to prepare to broadcast when Sirque passes by, followed by the twins. Hana hops to a stop, placing the kitty on the desk.
"Hey, take this little guy to a shelter, okay? Thanks, bye!" She runs after her brother. The kitty meows happily at her, waving a paw.
Sirque runs to a window and jumps out of it. Hana rolls onto the floor all the way to the window, flying out. She manages to grip the part of rope above Sirque on a wrecking ball. Hiro lands behind her as some bricks fall. Sirque looks up at Hana.
"Tres impressionnant, petite fille," She tells the girl, the wrecking ball swinging again. They scream as they're about to hit a wall, and she creates another portal for them to go through, taking the wrecking ball with them.
They end up in the dump, stumbling down piles of trash. They all let go, the wrecking ball falling off. The three crash, but otherwise are safe.
"Qu'est-ce pas?" Sirque looks up at the portal, seeing it go out of control.
"Your portal's unstable!" Hiro informs her.
"Impossible!" She runs off again.
"Hey!" The two shout at her as she jumps off, leaping onto the walls to get down. They jump after her and she uses a crane to get to the other side. Hiro grabs an end, Hana jumping and landing above him. She backflips to the ground while Hiro uses his thrusters, rolling to a stop near her.
Siqure creates another portal, only for it to start sucking up objects, including a steel beam which the twins narrowly dodge. Sirque bends down to avoid it, looking behind her.
"You have to stop or it's going to explode!" Hiro exclaims to her.
"And then it'll affect the whole city!" Hana shouts, gesturing behind her.
"My show must go on!" She jumps through the portal anyway, and it's still glitching. She might not care, but they do, and they had to save their home. They fly into the portal again, all three ending up in an alley. Sirque turns around and flips over to Hana, grabbing a tiny rag in the process. She then ties it in front of Hana's eyes, blocking her view. It's a tight knot and she can't even take off her helmet to see.
"Hey!" Hana waves around her arms, Hiro landing in a dumpster.
"Hiro, are you guys okay?" GoGo asks via commlink.
"We're okay, but the portal is starting to go! Come on!" He grabs his sister's hand, running off. He places her in front, trying to un-tie the rag.
"It's no use, they're too strong!"
"Then take off your helmet! You can't run if you can't see," He places his hands on her shoulders, but she smacks them off.
"No way! I'm not doing that. You'll just have to be my eyes."
He stares at her skeptically, but she keeps a determined face. "I trust you."
"...Okay," He nods and she starts running, the boy following close behind. "Slide right!"
She adjusts her feet and slides around the corner, Sirque creating a portal...but this time it's worse. Hiro stares in shock as he can see peeks into other dimensions...
"We've gotta stabilize it!"
The rest of the team and their friends look up to see flashes of pink not too far away from where they are.
"Hiro! Hana!"
"Let's go," GoGo declares, Mikey cringing in worry.
"I wouldn't go in there," Hiro warns Sirque, Hana feeling the wind in her hair. The ground actually starts shaking as she turns around to them.
"Well how do we stop it?"
"The magnetic containment field isn't strong enough!" Hiro tells her.
"It's not built to withstand this kind of power," Hana shakes her head.
"I cannot fix that here!"
"We might be able to! Hana, step forward five steps," He turns to the girl, who does as instructed. "Point your hands forward and activate your electricity."
He activates his gloves as her gloves light up. Half of his magnets take hold of the right side as four electricity charges connect to Hana's gloves. "Now pull!"
She plants herself in place, pulling along with him. Five were easy, but the three from Hiro's side are proving to be more difficult. Sirque ducks from a trash can that hits Hiro in the back and he knocks into Hana Both of them go flying towards the portal when Sirque's hands grabs hold of their feet. Hiro looks at her for a second as she's planted her foot on a pole. Hiro grabs hold of another orb and pulls it into place. Pink turns into blue.
"Success!" Sirque lets go of them and flips to a stop. "Merci, Dame Electrica and Capitaine Cutie! Do not worry, I will perfect my tech before my next appearance!"
They just groan at her. "A bientot!" She declares, flipping through the portal and disappearing for now. The orbs roll to a stop in front of them and they sigh in relief.
"Oh, guys!" Megan runs up to them as they've arrived.
"Are you okay?! Baymax, quick, do all the healing!" Fred shouts, the two being helped up by Wasabi and Honey Lemon.
"On a scale of one to ten, how would you rate your pain?"
"what I really wanna rate is my lack of eyesight," Hana points to the rag still over her eyes.
"I'll take care of that," Honey Lemon makes a chem ball and slightly slams it over the rag. It disintegrates completely, leaving no trace of it.
"Thanks..." She sighs in relief.
"Other than that, we're alright...but Sirque got away," Hiro finishes for her.
"Hey, the city didn't explode," Wasabi places a hand on their backs.
"I'm calling this a win," GoGo smirks, crossing her arms.
"Oh, twins, I'm so glad you're okay!" Honey Lemon smiles at them. "But that was impressive helping him without being able to see, Hana! It shows just how much you two work well together as a team!"
The twins smile at each other, their friends approaching them. They give the two a group hug. "We're more relieved than anything," Mikey tells the duo.
"Thanks..." They hug their friends back.
"And, uh, listen. W-We're sorry we both lied to you, it's just...being Big Hero 7 is so important to me...to us...we started doing this after Tadashi..."
The two close their eyes, GoGo placing her hands on their shoulders. "Someone has to help."
"We're sorry too, guys," Megan looks at them guiltily. "For the shooting, and for threatening to tell our father."
"And for badgering you about…well, you," Mikey chuckles softly, rubbing the back of his neck. "Umm…so, Hana…could we maybe study together sometime at Joe's Diner? I wanna get to know both sides of you, if that's okay."
Her friends all smile, nudging the girl. She smiles softly, placing a strand of hair behind her ear. After all this…maybe one small step in trying wouldn't hurt.
"Sure…"
He smiles, hugging her and spinning around. She can't help but laugh, everyone else looking on happily. He realizes what he did and releases her.
"Sorry…got too excited."
"It's okay," She giggles at his expression.
"You know..." Karmi stares at her, the girl tilting her head in confusion. "I understand why they," She gestures to the others, "And everyone else looks up to you."
Hana closes her eyes with a bright smile towards the three.
Suddenly sirens are heard and Fred looks around the corner. "Guys? Wanted? Remember? Gotta go?"
"We won't tell you what to do," Hiro says to the three. "Keep our secret or don't. It's your choice."
"We might've wanted to try to convince you, but...we'll still be friends no matter what," Hana waves as she walks backwards, flying into the air. They watch them leave just as Officer Cruz appears.
"Megan? Mikey?! What are you all doing here? What happened?"
"There was almost a huge explosion!" Megan exclaims to the man. "But Big Hero 7 stopped it!"
"They're not the criminals you think they are," Karmi turns around, smiling. He searches the alley.
"Where are they?"
"We...we don't know. They just disappeared." Megan glances to her brother, both of them nodding in agreement. Karmi nods as well, all of them silently agreeing to not tell anyone. They finally understood why they keep this a secret...and why they do it in the first place. Tadashi was someone they could all admire and look up to...and he would be proud of them all too.
The man turns around in confusion, staring at them. "Trust us, Dad," Mikey smirks a little.
The next day, Wasabi walks into the conference room, waving his phone. "The Cruz Twins' story just went live!"
"Oh great..." GoGo murmurs and they look up at Basemax, who pulls up the article.
"Why Big Hero 7's Identity Should Remain a Secret!" Fred reads happily as the others smile.
"Nice!"
"Karmi's fanfiction says the same thing," GoGo holds up her phone, as Karmi's written a statement about who they really are...
Superheroes, and nothing more.
The twins are in the garage, looking at his computer screen.
"So…" Hiro crosses his arms, turning to the girl. "You got a date."
"Not a date," She rolls her eyes. "We're just studying together."
"That's a study date," He gives her a blank look. "Two people alone, doing something together? At a restaurant? Do you see where I'm going with this?"
"Are you gonna spy on us like we did with Aunt Cass?" She gives him a tiny glare, avoiding the question.
"Maybe, and don't change the subject! I'm your older brother, remember? No funny business," He points a finger at her.
"Dude…we'll just be reading books. Nothing is going to happen. Now come on, the footage is done," She gestures to his computer.
"We're not done talking about this," He gives her one last accusing look, looking through footage.
"Hiro, Hana, what are you watching?" Baymax asks from behind.
"It's body cam footage from when we went through the portal," He fast forwards to when they took the kitty.
"Hopefully that kitty's found a good home," Hana hums a bit and Hiro rewinds it, going back.
"What are you looking for?"
Hiro enhances the image and Hana gasps a little. Hiro's mouth opens in shock and then he smiles.
"You..."
When the image is clear enough...it shows the original Baymax still inside the portal, turned off, but not destroyed...
"He's still in there..." Hana murmurs slowly in shock.
