NEW NOTE: The user 'Garchomp' gave me a wonderful idea, and it will be implemented, later though. I'm not sure how long this series will last but once it's done I will be combining them all into one. With some spelling checks and updated details and wording. That way it will be easier for users to find them all. Arigato Garchomp!
At 10:45 GoGo began to stir. When she went to stretch she stopped suddenly, feeling a resistance. She open her eyes fully and realized she was laying on something, no someone. When she looked up and saw Hiro she froze. Why is he...wait i remember. We were talking about the bots and then I remembered about my dad. But….how did he know? He knew I was upset but...how? She pushed the thought aside as she slowly removed herself from Hiro's arms. She then looked down and realized she was wearing her clothes from yesterday."Well I can just change in my bathroom real quick." She whispered to herself as she grabbed a change of clothes from her closet and went to the bathroom.
When she emerged she saw Hiro's phone light up on the table next to him. It was Aunt Cass calling. Knowing she was worried she grabbed the phone and walked to the other side of the room to answer."Hey Aunt Cass, It's GoGo. Hiro's still asleep."
"Oh GoGo! Did he stay with you and Honey Lemon? I was so worried about him"
"He did, we were working on some schematics on my bike when we saw what time it was. I let him sleep on the couch instead of walk all the way home." GoGo lied. There was no way she could say what really happened. She'd think something else had happened.
"Oh well thank you GoGo. Please tell him to text me when he wakes. I need him to grab some groceries for tomorrow so he needs to be home tonight."
"Will do Aunt Cass, I'll talk to you later. Bye!" GoGo said.
"Bye sweetie!"
GoGo hung up the phone and set it back down on the table. She stopped and considered waking him but decided not to and left the room, softly closing the door behind her. As she walked to the kitchen she smelled food and it made her stomach growl. Reaching the kitchen she saw Honey Lemon at the island eating and she looked up at her.
"Hi GoGo! Sleep well?" Honey Lemon said winking at her.
GoGo cocked her head in confusion before she realized,"Oh no you didn't! You took pictures didn't you?" Honey Lemon smiled."NOTHING happened hear me! We just passed out after working on the schematics!" GoGo said growling.
"Sure, whatever you say GoGo. Well I got to go to the store. Be good while I'm gone." She smirked back at her.
GoGo just shook her head at her. She made a plate of food from all the pancakes, bacon and eggs set out from Honey Lemon's cooking. Once she sat down and started eating she stopped thinking, Maybe I should go wake up Hiro. It is 11:00 now, and he's Aunt needs him. Ugh this is gonna be a bit awkward. She decided to wake the boy and proceeded down the hall to her room. When she reached the door and opened it she didn't expect to see what she did. Hiro was still asleep yes, but he was tossing and turning like he was having a nightmare.
She wasn't expecting this at all and honestly didn't know what to do. Then she remembered last night, how Hiro comforted her. So she decided to do the same. She walked over to where he was lying and sat down on the available space and, being so close, could hear him whispering in his sleep."T-ta...dashi...d-don't...lea..eave..me." She froze, he still was having nightmares about the fire and Tadashi. She thought he had finally moved passed that a month ago. He stopped shuddering at the mention of Tadashi and even would mention him himself. So the fact he was still like this broke her heart.
Placing her hand on his shoulder in hopes of calming him down working surprisingly. He stopped whispering and even stopped moving. He's breathing steadied and he went into a peaceful sleep. Now GoGo couldn't bring it to her to wake him, so she left him to sleep. Returning to her breakfast her mind wondered. She was troubled at the thought that Hiro was still suffering from fire and losing Tadashi. Then it dawned on her, his birthday was in 9 days. It would be his first birthday without Tadashi. She decided then and there she would make sure his birthday this year would be his most memorable.
Cleaning up her breakfast plate and making a plate for Hiro, setting it in the microwave to keep warm, she wandered over to the couch to watch teley. At around 12 o'clock she heard the door to her room open and close, moments later seeing a tired Hiro walk around the corner, complete with messy hair and rubbing his sleepy eyes."Morning sunshine. You realize it's noon right?" GoGo said eyeing the half sleep boy with a smirk.
"I don't even remember going to sleep. I hope you don't mind me having stayed." Hiro blushed. He had just woke up in GoGo's bed for pete's sake.
"Don't worry, I don't. I...uh..actually slept really well, to be honest." GoGo blushed at that statement and noticed Hiro's blush grew,"Uh...anyway, there's a plate of breakfast in the microwave. Honey Lemon made it, she already left to go shopping."
"Oh, uh..thanks." Hiro walked over and got the plate of food out. He sat it down on the island as GoGo walked over and sat on the opposite side of the island. Swiping a slice of bacon and chewing on it."So...when did you wake up?" Hiro asked, eating his food.
"Oh uh, I'd say around 10:45….ish. I'm not sure. But….I..uh..did go to wake you up at 11 and...you were tossing and turning and whispering about….Tadashi." GoGo didn't want to bring it up but she needed to see if she could help. And judging by his face, he fully remembered that nightmare.
"Oh….I guess i was...still dreaming about the whole fire thing...Look I'm fine it's just...with my birthday coming up, it's gonna be me first one without him. I guess It just got to me." Hiro said with his head held down.
GoGo reached over and placed a hand on his shoulder. Hiro raised his head to look her in the eyes. She took a deep breath,"Look Hiro, I know it's tough, trust me. But you don't need to be tough ALL the time. I'm here for you if need to talk, anytime, okay?" GoGo said that with complete sincerity in her voice, and Hiro heard it all.
He smiled and shed a tear,"T-thank you Go. That means a lot." He smiled at her.
She came around the island and gave him a big hug. They stayed there for a few moments while Hiro just let himself be engulfed in the kindness and..love...yeah, love from GoGo.
GoGo eventually pulled away but still held his shoulders,"Now. Aunt Cass called your phone and I picked it up. I knew she was probably worried crazy about you. She said she needed some groceries and wanted you to get them since you were already out."
"Okay. Then I guess I should get going then huh." Hiro said smiling at her.
"Yeah I suppose. You want a ride?" She smirked. Hiro eyes widened at that.
"Really! That'd be awesome. I can get my helmet while we're out to!" Hiro jumped out of his seat."Let me grab my phone!
He ran back to GoGo's room to grab his phone. GoGo shook her head smiling, grabbed Hiro's plate and washed it clean. When Hiro came back around she was already standing there ready to leave, throwing her helmet at Hiro as they walked out the door.
-= Callaghan =-
Callaghan stood in his office at the window next to his desk. Facing out towards the city, hands folded behind his back. He was thinking. Thinking about his plan to get revenge on that little Hamada boy who ruined his plan against Krei. He would get Krei to yes, but after he dealt with Hiro Hamada.
His assistant knocked on the door and walked in,"Uh s-sir. It's been two months since we 'disposed' of, as you said, those robbers we hired and the Big Hero 6 team have no clue who it was." His assistant was rather nervous around Callaghan to say the least. Callaghan scared the living daylights out of him, that's why he stayed.
Without looking away from the window,"Good. Is the invention ready?"
"Y-yes sir. Your Micro-Bots have been completed as well as the new the head transceiver. W-would you like to test it out sir?" His assistant held a small briefcase out towards Callaghan. He opened the briefcase to be meet with a new Kabuki mask, this one however, was designed to spread and incase itself around his head to prevent it from coming off so easily.
Callaghan picked up the new mask and placed it on his face. The mask quickly expanded and incased his head in the metal. He then moved his hand towards his assistant and the new Micro-Bots quickly grabbed him pushing him against the wall."Well, I see it works as planned. I must say I'm fairly impressed. But as we both can see, you're no longer an asset to me."
In one swift motion Callaghan's former assistant when flying out the window thanks to the new Micro-Bots.
-= Hiro & GoGo =-
The two pulled up to the back of The Lucky Cat Cafe at 4:00 p.m. Hiro got off sporting his new helmet. He got a shiny black helmet with white skulls outlined as well as some purple pinstriping on it. He took his helmet off and grab some of the bags. GoGo did the same and they walked in thru the family entrance in the back. They walked up the stairs waving at Aunt Cass as they passed, and went to the kitchen.
Aunt Cass came up shortly after making sure her employee, Stacy, would be okay to run the store. She walked over and hugged Hiro,"Next time tell me when you plan to sleep somewhere else young man."
"Hehe, yeah sorry about that Aunt Cass. I kinda don't even remember going to sleep." Hiro rubbed the back of his neck.
"It happens, just try to be more careful about that okay? And GoGo, thank you for making sure he was alright." Aunt Cass turned and hugged her.
"No problem Aunt Cass." She returned the hug.
"Well, thank you for getting this stuff for me, the Cafe was running out of milk quicker than I thought. Speaking of which, I need to hurry back to Stacy!" Aunt Cass grabbed the milk and rushed back down to the Cafe.
Hiro and GoGo shared a laugh at watching Aunt Cass rush away like she did. When she calmed down GoGo looked at Hiro,"Well I probably should get back to Honey Lemon. I'll pick you up tomorrow morning for school? 9 o'clock right?"
"9 o'clock! Thanks again for letting me ride with you. It's awesome really. I'll see you tomorrow then." Hiro hugged her, blushing slightly.
GoGo hugged back with a blush of her own. "I'll see you tomorrow." She let go and smiled at him as she walked away, back down the stairs and out the back door.
-= Callaghan =-
It was around midnight when Callaghan reached SFIT. He was held up in Tadashi's old work space, which he assumed Hiro now owned, considering the space looked worked in. He was going to kidnap the boy as soon as he walked in, heading out the window and to his current base of operations. An abandon building on the edge of town. All he had to do was wait….
-= Hiro =-
June 3rd, Wednesday
At 8:00 A.M. his alarm blared at him to wake up. Having moved it to the other side of his desk in an attempt to force him to actually get up to turn it off, he did just that. He took his usual morning shower and dressed in his clothes for the day. Brushing his teeth and packing the last of his stuff in his bag he realized it was 8:40, 20 minutes until GoGo would be there.
So he walked down to the Cafe. Grabbing his helmet and bag and walking downstairs to greet the morning crowd of the Cafe. It was relatively busy, with the normal bunch of people bringing their laptops and drinking coffee while browsing the web. He saw his Aunt Cass brewing away behind the counter and decided he'd help himself.
He went back and made himself some Hot Chocolate and made a Coffee for GoGo, straight black, no creamer of sugar if he remembered correctly.
Just as he finished GoGo had pulled in out back, 10 minutes ahead of time. She walked in and saw Hiro grabbing two cups behind the counter. He turned around and spotted her. "Hey Go! I made you some Coffee, straight black right?" Hiro handed her the cup.
"That's right. Thanks!" She said taking a sip. "You sleep well?"
"Yeah, I slept okay. How about you?" He asked take a drink of his Hot Chocolate.
They delved into conversation as they had some time to kill before needing to be at SFIT. Before they knew it, it was 9:05 and they were heading out. Having drank their drinks, they hoped onto GoGo's bike and took off for the Nerd Lab.
At 9:30 they reached SFIT and parked. Considering they were later than usual, not having a morning class, they had to park further back. They got off and started walking up the steps to the building.
"Oh! I almost forgot," he reached into his bag,"I brought those magnets for you to test with." He handed her the four magnets he had.
"Awesome. Shouldn't take me to longer to switch them out for a quick test. Then I'll start making new designs to better house them." She said as they walked down the hall. The turned the corner and came into the big Nerd Lab of SFIT. Honey Lemon, Wasabi, and Fred were already there in their respective stations. GoGo and Hiro walked by waving at the concentrating Wasabi and saying hello to Honey Lemon and Fred.
The reached GoGo's station,"Well, you get those magnets in, I need to go check on Baymax." He left her to work on her bike as he walked away towards his closed off work station. He opened the door and placed his bag on his couch. The door swung shut causing Hiro to turn around and see Callaghan and….."My Micro-Bots! Callaghan! W-what! How'd you get-"
"That doesn't matter boy, you're coming with me!" He swung his arm in Hiro's direction making the Micro-Bots follow and try and grab him. Hiro however dodged them and stood opposite his desk from Callaghan. Callaghan swung his arm and the Micro-Bots slammed down on his desk, snapping it in two. Hiro ran towards a device on his counter but got tripped by the Micro-Bots. He reached out and was just able to push a button before being yanked away and dragged out the window by Callaghan and his new Micro-Bots.
-= GoGo =-
She had just put the new magnets in place and was turning the pedals to test just how fast the wheels would turn. Cutting her testing short her phone buzzed, and the team alarm went off. She looked at the alarm and saw Hiro was the one who set it off. "I got it guys, he probably just made a new invention for Baymax or something." She smiled
"Ok GoGo!" Honey Lemon chimed.
GoGo walked down the hall to Hiro's work station. She opened the door to be greeted by…..destruction. Walking in, the desk was completely destroyed, papers thrown everywhere, and projects knocked on the floor. Then she noticed the window open, Hiro never opened that window. On the window, moving franticly as it was stuck, was a Micro-Bot. Her eyes widened and she turned to find something, anything.
Bingo! Baymax."OW!" The familiar filling of air and the ever so popular,"Hello! I am Baymax. You-"
"Cut it Baymax, play the last 5 minutes of footage you have. NOW!" GoGo cut him off. Baymax then did as told and played the entire scene of Hiro entering and…"Callaghan!" The footage continued all the way till Hiro got wrapped up and taken out the window.
"Baymax wait here, I'm going to get the others!" GoGo rushed out, leaving Baymax standing there, looking out the window.
-= Callaghan =-
Having rushed to the other side of town, otop the rooftops of buildings, he reached his abandoned warehouse. The same warehouse where Hiro and Baymax found his construction of Micro-Bots.
Callaghan pulled out two pair of handcuffs and placed Hiro down between to support beams. He handcuffed one hand to one beam. When he went to handcuff his other hand there was a problem, his hand just barely didn't reach.
"Looks like I'm too short for your dumb capture plan." Hiro smirked and spit at him.
Callaghan growled and yanked on Hiro's arm, dislocating it. Hiro screamed in agony but it worked and his hand reached enough to handcuff him. Callaghan then proceeded to put a cloth around his mouth and tied it as well as tie his feet down to the grates below.
"Now. Here's how this will work. You're going to sit here quietly and not move. I've got some business to go clean up at SFIT." Callaghan smirked and slithered off.
-= Nerd Lab =-
"Oh no. We have to find Hiro! I can't believe Callaghan took him. How did he even escape? And why does he want Hiro?" Honey Lemon asked in shock.
"Classic villain, he wants revenge on the hero who ruined his plans ag-"
"Cut it Fred! There not time for this crap. First things first, we need to head to the police station and get whatever info we can on how he escaped." GoGo took command. Everyone nodded in agreement.
"Let's get suited up then. Is Baymax's armor in here?" Wasabi asked
"My armor is in that storage closet right over there. Might I suggest getting your armor on now? Callaghan is approaching." Baymax said.
"Wait, what!" GoGo stared at Baymax. Her sights laid behind the robot out the window. Just in the distance a black wave was heading their way.
"Everyone move! I'll get Baymax suited up. Everyone ran to their stations and grabbed their bags running back to Hiro's station. When they got their Baymax was all suited up.
"GoGo, where's your suit?" Honey Lemon asked, getting her purse and helmet situated.
"It's down on my bike. Don't worry. You guys distract him, I'll ride Bayma-"
She was cut off as the Micro-Bot's grabbed her and Baymax pulling them out the window and throwing them in the air.
"GOGO! Let's move!" Honey Lemon ordered.
The team moved into action. Fred jumped out towards Callaghan throwing flames at him, hitting him before he was able to shield himself. He quickly put out the flames and hit Fred tossing him across the parking lot. Honey Lemon typed away on her keyboard grabbing a couple chem balls. She chucked one, blue colored one at Callaghan who shielded himself with his Micro-Bots. She then threw two pink ones that exploded on the Micro-Bots, destroying some and throwing a few away. Wasabi jumped in slashing and swiping away at the bots, desecrating them into oblivion.
Callaghan had enough. He swiped away and knocked Wasabi down and then turned to Honey Lemon. He sent Micro-Bots towards her but she shielded herself in a pink bubble shield. Callaghan growled and sent bots darting and digging at her shield trying to break it. Before he could a yellow disk came into contact with his face, knocking him off balance and to the ground.
GoGo came skating into the battlefield followed by Baymax who jumped on top of Callaghan. "I am sorry, but you are endangering my patients, and I can not allow that." Baymax said, holding Callaghan down. "My scans indicate your brain is-"
But he couldn't finish, Micro-Bots slammed into his side and threw Baymax across the concrete. Callaghan stood and touched his mask, it was cracked, most likely from the blow from GoGo. He turned towards her and growled. GoGo just smirked and raced towards him. The Micro-Bots kept coming in streams but she dodged them. She then rode on a ramp of the bots straight towards Callaghan.
A stream of the bots came rushing towards her from the right where abruptly stopped by the slash of Wasabi's blade allowing GoGo to reach Callaghan. She swung her disc at him hitting him square in the face and then she tackled him to the ground. She held him down and tried to pry the mask off his face.
"Hehehehahaha! You really thought I would be dumb enough to make the same mistake twice? The mask now completely encases my head to prevent you from stealing it!" He knocked her off him with the Micro-Bots. "Obviously I can't fight you now, so I guess I'll just take that out on your little leader, Hiro Hamada." He hit them all from behind with the bots and took off.
By the time they got to their feet he had already fled. GoGo was seething and was about to give chase before Honey Lemon blocked her,"I know what you're thinking GoGo, but he's gone. We need to regroup and plan what to do next." GoGo, with a scowl on her face just nodded and walked back inside.
-= Callaghan =-
He rode into the warehouse, pressing the hidden button on the back of his neck and releasing the mask. Walking in front of a broken mirror he removed the mask and gazed upon a very beatin and broken face. His nose was most noticeably damaged, possibly broken. "What is Abigail going to say to this."
"That you're being dumb." His head snapped in the direction of Hiro, "Come on professor, there's no need for this. You got Abigai-"
"ENOUGH!" Callaghan yelled at the boy. He turned back around and grabbed his knife laying on the table. He turned and walk back towards Hiro, "Your little friends wouldn't give, so. I guess I'm gonna take it out on you now huh?" He placed the sharp end of the knife on Hiro's upper cheek.
"T-there's no need for this Callaghan. You're better than this." Hiro tried to reach the old professor to no luck.
Callaghan scowled and swiped the knife down his cheek giving it a deep cut, causing Hiro to wince in pain. He then quickly put the blade to his neck making Hiro tense up and freeze, gaining a smirk from Callaghan.
"P-please Callaghan. D-don't do this." Hiro tried pleading one last time.
"Don't you know when to keep your mouth shut boy!" Callaghan pushed the point into the corner of his neck, drawing blood. "Let's see how you like this." He reached back and ripped Hiro's shirt in the back. He then walked back and started making slashes into his back, drawing blood and screams from the poor boy.
After three agonizing minutes of this Callaghan stopped and looked at his work. There were almost a hundred cuts, some small, some long, and a few where deep. He tossed the knife to the ground and walked back around.
Hiro was panting, head hanging down and eyes squeezed shut in pain. Callaghan grabbed his chin and made him look into his eyes. "If you cause anymore disruption I will hesitate to cause you more pain." He said with a scowl.
Hiro didn't say anything, still in pain he just kept to himself trying his best to push it to the back of his mind. Callaghan dropped his hand and walked away, leaving Hiro to his new scars.
-= Nerd Lab =-
The team had come back together in Hiro's lab. Luckily everyone had evacuated during the fight and the school was left closed for the rest of the day. When the walked in Honey Lemon and Fred sat down on the couch while Wasabi leaned against the wall by the door and GoGo stood staring out the window.
"Well, I think we should do what GoGo said. Head to the police station and see if we can find out how Callaghan escaped." Wasabi said.
"You three go ahead, I'll meet you there. Someone needs to talk with Aunt Cass, obviously Hiro's going to be gone for a while." GoGo side glance back.
Everyone's eyes widened, they didn't even think about that. Luckily Aunt Cass knew about the team, even if she didn't necessarily like it she understood why Hiro wanted to help everyone he could. This, however, might change her mind.
"Then we'll see you there GoGo, call me if you need help. I know Aunt Cass won't like this at all." Honey Lemon got up, "Come on guys." They all departed leaving GoGo staring out the window.
She then heard a clinking noise. Or had she always heard it? She glanced down and saw the Micro-Bot from earlier. Then it clicked, "I can use you to find Callaghan and Hiro." She grabbed the bot and placed him in a small plastic box. Put the box in her pocket and departing from the Nerd Lab to head to the Lucky Cat Cafe.
