With this new edit I am finally caught up with my Beta reader!
You know, they say a dead man keep secrets the best. But if your friends have short term memory loss and follow every rule you give them, you're doing better than the dead man.
It's been a week and the group finally finished cleaning the place up and after a few trips they had every part to Callahan's machines, the place looked new. Save for the lack of electricity, but that was easy to fix.
Hiro looked to his friends turned workers.
"We're done! Everything is clean and fixed!"
Honey-Lemon smiled and jumped a little while Fred danced next to her.
Gogo was smiling but still on top of her game "Now, what?"
"Now you guys take a week long break while I do some research on those headbands." He had become used to telling them everything at this point.
Wasabi raised his hand a little "So uh, are we doing that without the headband or with?"
Hiro looked at them all closely before climbing up Baymax to sit on his shoulders "Here's your order: You will all go home and take off your headbands, nothing new has happened and it's been pretty boring. I'm going on a trip for the next week, so, I won't be home. Aunt Cass will know where I went, and you can text me freely. When you get a phone call from me, put on your headbands but don't answer. Come to the docks and I will pick you up." He waited for a nod from each of them before ordering them all to leave.
They left without another word. Hiro couldn't lie, he was getting used to them being under his control and he kind of liked it. They never did anything against him, they still acted as themselves, it was like having an obedient puppy... Or 4.
Hiro waited till they were gone before looking down at Baymax,
"Tell me when they get out of the building" his harsh tone went unnoticed.
Baymax nodded a little to signify he understood and was ready to obey orders. Baymax had a few things changed about him in this week. First, Hiro had decided to keep the health chip on his person at all times just in case something happened where they needed him. Second, his voice box was changed to a slightly deeper tone, and third, the fighting chip was in another robot.
Hiro didn't want to change too much of what Tadashi had done, so he put the original robot away without his chip and made a duplicate, only this one was just the armor exterior, no giant marshmallow was under this thing.
A voice moved his attention to the robot under him "Hiro, they have cleared the island and their signals lost."
Hiro smiled to himself "Good, good. Baymax why don't you go find the materials for solar panels, see if there are scraps around the city, but don't let anyone see you."
Baymax nodded and picked up Hiro off his shoulders before setting him down gently. "Hiro will stay here then." It sounded like a statement but the way he stood there and waited said otherwise.
"Yeah, I'm staying here to do some more research." Hiro perked a little, he was eager to find out more about the headbands.
The robot disappeared as Hiro took off his helmet. It was getting hotter in the building now that the hole was gone. He would need to fix that soon, before it got too dangerous to work and be here. They had set up a fan next to his computer but that wouldn't fix the whole building.
Rubbing his forehead, Hiro walked over to sit on the ground by the fan to cool off a little while he worked. The computer was one Tadashi had given him on his last birthday, the card that came with it was taped to the cover in all its plain glory.
"Happy birthday Hiro! Hope this gift is enough for that big brain of yours and all its ideas! Remember to look at things from new angles. I love you! –Tadashi"
