So sorry about the eternity between updates. My computer broke and I had to wait for it to be fixed. Updates will now be much quicker. Sorry again.

Chapter Four: Passing the Point of No Return

"You're staring again," GoGo said in a reprimanding tone of voice as she confidently strode towards the building.

"Sorry," said Hiro quickly, walking faster to try to keep pace with her, "It's just different seeing you… well, like that."

"Like what?" she asked, her right eyebrow moving north as she looked at him.

"All… formal," he said lamely. GoGo was dressed in charcoal grey business suit that was extremely figure hugging, something that Hiro certainly noticed… repeatedly.

She tried to scowl at him but had to turn away when a smirk threatened to break out over her face.

The idiot was cute when he was nervous. Especially considering that he too was wearing a suit.

"Relax," she said, "Take a deep breath and try to make it look like you belong here."

Earlier that morning, GoGo had phoned Alistair Krei and asked him to book a meeting at the police station where the train hijacker Katherine Skylark was being held until she could be transferred to a more secure detention facility. They were acting as representatives for Krei's R&D department making sure that no Krei technology had been used in the attempted heist.

As they climbed the stairs to the entrance, they could hear sounds of commotion from within. As soon as they opened the doors they were greeted by a swarm of police officers going over every inch of the reception. There were what appeared to be bullet holes sporadically dotting the walls and police tape blocking the hallway past the reception.

"Hey! What are they doing here?" demanded the lead detective, stalking toward the pair with a furious expression covering her face. "You need to leave right now," she ordered sternly, "This is an active crime scene."

"We're from Krei Corp," said GoGo quickly, "And we had a meeting with one of the prisoners being held here. A Katherine Skylark." The detective laughed harshly.

"Skylark?" she asked acidly, "She's the one who did all of this." She gestured around the war torn reception.

"She escaped?" Hiro blurted out, "How on Earth could she do that?" The detective scowled at her.

"Get out of here, kid," she snarled, "And let me do my job." And with that they were both marched out of the station, the doors slamming shut behind them.

"Well that was certainly productive," GoGo said, leaning against a bike rack.

"How the hell could they let her get away?" Hiro exploded, waving his arms theatrically. Despite the seriousness of the situation, GoGo had to smother a chuckle at his overreaction.

"I doubt they unlocked the door for her and said "see ya later"," she said sardonically.

"You know what I mean," he replied, "You're taking this awfully well."

"I'm not a cop," she said simply, "And neither are you. People were in danger and we stopped it but a manhunt is for people trained to do that. If she shows her face again, we'll take her down but until then we should leave it to the cops."

"You really think so?" Hiro asked.

"Yeah I really do," she responded, "We don't know the first thing about hunting someone down. We can get Baymax to scan around but aside from that it's just not our area of expertise."

"Yeah, I guess you're right," he grumbled, "Still annoyed though. She shot at me with a lightning gun!"

"Dude are you really still whinging about that?" she snarked, "Let it go. You were barely grazed."

"I have a burn mark," he protested defensively.

"Walk it off," she replied, "Now come on."

"What for?" he asked, thoroughly confused, "Didn't our entire day's schedule just clear?"

"Exactly," she said, grabbing his tie and walking off , forcing him to follow, "And there's no way on Earth that I'm wasting having to put on this ridiculous outfit. You're taking me to breakfast."

~o~O~o~

"Aunt Cass is going to murder us in our sleep if she finds out that we went to another café," Hiro said, smirking briefly at the thought of his aunt's reaction.

"Then I guess we just won't tell her," GoGo replied, raising her eyebrows almost playfully at him. He swallowed nervously. After all, she was very pretty when she did that. He took a sip of the complimentary water left on the table for them as a casual way of breaking eye contact with her. "So," she began, "I was thinking that maybe we should talk." He choked briefly on the water which was unsurprising. After all 'we should talk' and all other variations of that phrase were rarely the precursor to good news. "About…" Suddenly GoGo found herself struggling with her words. This was weird, not knowing the right thing to say, especially for a girl who prized having just that at all times. She knew that she should have talked to Honey-Lemon about this first to get some feedback. "About some modifications I was thinking about making to my suit," she said finally, somewhat lamely.

"Oh," he said in response, releasing the breath that he didn't know he had been holding. "It's funny you mention that actually, Wasabi, Fred and I were working on modifications on our stuff all last night." The tension disappeared as they moved onto the harmless subject of suit modifications.

"Good morning," said the waitress as she reached their table, "What can I get for you today?"

"I'll take a low fat strawberry parfait," GoGo said, handing the waitress her menu, "and a skinny latté."

"And what about you?" the waitress asked, turning to Hiro.

"The largest stack of pancakes that you can legally sell to me, heavy with whipped cream, ice cream and maple syrup with a large chocolate milkshake," Hiro replied, enjoying GoGo's reaction to his order. "What?" he asked as soon as the waitress left.

"Oh nothing, nothing," she replied insincerely, "I'm just impressed at such a healthy meal you chose to start the day with."

"Oh like you're not gonna steal half of my food," he said, grinning, "Why do you think I ordered so much? You always order some boring, healthy option that you can justify to yourself and then you steal all of my food. I remember Wasabi's last birthday, you ordered the salad, I got a large pizza covered with every meat known to man and some only known to aliens but somehow I ended up only having half a slice of the entire thing."

"Oh," she scoffed, "So you know me so well now, do you?"

"Well… yeah," he replied, shrugging, "I know you very well."

"Like what?" she asked challengingly, spinning her straw in her water, "What do you know about me?"

"Well, for starters I know that you like gum," he said, his smile hiding the whirlwind of activity going on inside his head. He realised that if he followed through with what he was thinking, he would be passing the point of no return.

"No way," she deadpanned in response to his statement, "How did you deduce that, Sherlock? Do you have any other amazing observations to dazzle me with?"

"You don't suffer fools lightly," he continued, "But that doesn't mean that you don't have empathy for people who feel lost or are just going through a rough patch in their life, you're usually the smartest person in the room but you're never arrogant about it." As he spoke his voice started to change, it was less mocking and more… something else. GoGo didn't know the word she should use to describe it but it was certainly having some sort of an effect on her. "You like pop songs from the early noughties but you can't stand rap or boy bands of any kind, you're kind to people that need help and when you stand outside at night time I think that you look like an angel." GoGo was speechless. She certainly hadn't expected the conversation to go in this direction especially after she herself had chickened out at the last second. Her mouth hung open almost comically while she processed what he had just said. "And," Hiro added, thinking in for a penny, in for a pound, "if it ever seems like that I have a massive crush on you… well, those are just some of the very many reasons why."

Yep, he thought to himself, I guess that was the point of no return.

After spending several seconds feeling like she had been hit in the face by one of Baymax's rocket fists, GoGo managed to close her mouth. Hiro laughed nervously.

"Wow," he said, partially to himself and partially to her, "I honestly didn't see the conversation going that way."

"Yeah," GoGo replied distantly, "Same." This is weird, she thought. She was supposed to be the more sane, more level headed member of the group and now she was only speaking in single syllable words.

She needed to snap out of it.

"Are you asking me out on a date?" she asked bluntly, hurling the ball back into his side of the court.

Now it was his turn to impersonate a guppy at feeding time.

"Uh, um, uh… kinda… yeah, actually yes I am," he managed to stammer. Despite his initial stammering, the last three words of his response came out remarkably strong considering his nervousness.

"Okay then," GoGo replied, "I thought that's what you were saying. So…"

"Yeah," Hiro added aimlessly.

As he struggled to decide what to say next, GoGo came to a decision.

"Alright," she said, "I want to try something. Try not to freak out too much." Before he could ask her what she was talking about, GoGo had grabbed his tie, pulled him towards her so he was leaning across the table and pressed her lips against his.

Oh, he thought distantly, all other mental processing retreating from his mind.

The kiss was entirely exploratory, if somewhat clinical, at least at first. After all, GoGo was not entirely sure how she felt about Hiro in a romantic sense and she wanted to make sure that they were at least physically compatible before things got too out of hand.

At first Hiro was unsure on whether he should kiss her back but he quickly reasoned that GoGo kissing him was her giving him implicit permission to do so.

As the kiss deepened, he reached up his one hand to cup the side of her face. He was feeling close to being overwhelmed by every sensation that he was experiencing, the soft feel of her lips, the taste of strawberry bubblegum and the fact that it was freaking GoGo that he was kissing.

However, like all good things, the kiss eventually had to come to an end. As their lips parted, they gently touched their foreheads to the other's. A small chuckle escaped GoGo and Hiro was fairly certain that he was grinning like an idiot.

"Wow," was all he managed to get out, his grin threatening to cause his face to split.

"Yeah," she said in a similarly stunned voice, "That happened." Hiro giggled.

"GoGo, you kissed me," he said, still feeling slightly dazed.

"Yeah," she replied, playfully her eyebrow at him, "You kissed me back."

"No I kissed your mouth," he countered before wincing slightly. "That was terrible," he said apologetically before laughing again.

"Yeah," she agreed, "But I've known you were a moron for years now. I knew what I was getting into."
