Nova Lynn was never a girl who was willing to fight. Unless, she had a very good reason. Like back in third grade when two boys were picking on her for having orange hair. That was the one moment in her life she felt like fighting someone.
Of course as soon as the teacher heard her battle cry, and saw her small fist connect with the first kid's nose things got really out of hand. Everyone thought she was some sort of monster for defending herself. Soon after that she became the freckle spotted, ginger haired kid that was the class outcast.
Looking at her third grade fight and comparing it to staring into the face of danger, seemed like a jump. Mainly because back then she was taller than those kids, and those kids didn't seem as menacing as this guy. Time seemed to go back to normal as her instincts finally kicked in.
With as much force as she could conjure, she shoved the masked guy away. The second his body hit the ground she took off running towards Baymax and his friend. She was stumbling over everything in her path, and weakly cursed out her lack of physical fitness. Now was seriously not the time for her damn body to give up!
"If you don't run faster the microbots are going to swallow you up whole!"
Nova didn't even need to be told twice by the other teen as she finally gained control of her lanky legs, and ran right into Baymax. She finally let herself relax when her face came into contact with the smooth, cool metal of its arm. Lightly she attached both of her arms around the robot. Her mind was at a momentary ease once she didn't feel in danger anymore.
"Baymax we gotta go, like now! How are your thrusters and can you get this girl and I out of here?" The boy asked with an urgency in his tone. He was basically bouncing up and down in his purple gear fidgeting with Baymax's other arm.
Baymax swiveled its head to acknowledge him. As soon as Baymax scanned itself, it simply expanded it's wings again.
Nova watched curiously as the guy scrambled quickly up the robot's back. Soon enough he was attached securely and looked down at her. She had completely forgotten she had her arms wrapped around Baymax's left arm.
The sound of metal buzzing loudly entered her ears causing her to automatically want to find the noise. She turned her head only to see the "Microbots" as the finicky guy so lightly put it, swarming towards the three of them at a rapid rate.
"Baymax!"
Without needing another command Baymax shot up into the sky, with Nova screaming her lungs out unprepared. Her entire body locked against Baymax's arm, and tears flew down her face quickly. If there was a chance her heart probably would've exploded as soon as they got off the ground.
After the first shock of not being on stable ground anymore, her screams finally turned into quiet gasps. With horrible timing Baymax adjusted himself to fly horizontally, causing the girl to freak out once more. Nova could definitely feel the pull of gravity on her body as all her shoulder length orange hair was pulled down towards Earth.
"Hey, you're fine. Baymax is programmed to help people, he wouldn't let you fall even if you let go." Came a quiet voice from above her.
She hesitantly peered up into his light brown eyes, afraid that she would accidentally look down and start panicking again. He looked away awkwardly before he added, "My name is Hiro by the way."
"Hiro", she thought to herself.
Before she caught a glimpse of the land below she shut her eyes. After swallowing the lump in her throat she told him her name was Nova. He only made a noise of acknowledgement, as she let out a nearly whispered "Ow."
Baymax's head looked down at her locked up body and tear-stained face a second before he announced monotonously,"Aside from physical exhaustion I scanned no irregularities in your body."
Nova opened one eye wearily and watched Baymax as he stared straight ahead flying towards the center of the city.
"Baymax is a nurse-bot, his programming has him scan anyone that says 'Ow'" Hiro replied after noticing Nova's confused face.
"So then...why were you both flying around, and why did you have your nurse-bot in full on battle gear? If he is a healer...then why did you have him and yourself in so much danger?"
"Listen, this is something that doesn't concern you at the moment." Came Hiro's clipped reply as he straightened up his back.
That attitude really flared up Nova's and she finally opened both of her eyes.
With a fierce glare towards Hiro she yelled,"This concerns me because that lunatic nearly fucking killed me! I'm not trying to be rude Hiro, but if it wasn't for your street fight I would not have been involved in this crap."
Hiro scrunched up his nose as he responded,"Street fight? You seriously think that's what this is? That lunatic stole my Microbots. He is the sole reason Tadashi is-" Hiro cut himself off as tears brimmed in his eyes.
He quickly looked away before shakily saying,"Nova I don't know you, but I'm sorry you got caught up in all of this."
That is where the conversation had ended. Nova didn't question who Tadashi was, Hiro didn't even ask where she lived. Baymax did in fact ask where to take her though. Her immediate response?
The Police Station.
When the group landed in an alley around the central part of San Fransokyo, Hiro had climbed off of Baymax. It was also pretty damn difficult for Nova to separate herself from the nurse-bot. Her arms and legs became increasingly stiff that unlocking them was a challenge within itself.
"You know, the police aren't as helpful as you seem to think. Trust me, we've tried this entire Talk-With-The-Law-Enforcement thing. I seriously don't want them calling my Aunt Cass." Hiro timidly spoke as he watched Nova stretch out her arms.
She laughed quietly asking,"What are you, 12?"
He furrowed his brows and mumbled,"Actually, I'm 14..."
As if all the tension between the two melted, Nova laughed genuinely. A tiny part of her wondered if this was what having a friend felt like. Hiro's pout slowly turned into a small smile. He joined in on her laughing while he removed his helmet handing it to Baymax.
"By the way, how the heck were you able to even stick to Baymax during that flight?" Nova questioned as the duo began to walk out of the alley.
After Hiro told Baymax to stay back and hide in the spot they landed in he answered,"See these red pads on my armor?" He held out his palm so Nova could see.
She nodded as he continued,"They're actually magnetic, and stick really well to Baymax's armor. I made them like last week over at the San Fransokyo Institute of Technology."
She gasped and looked at him, her nerdy side coming out once more. She nearly shrieked in his ear,"They just let you wonder into their labs and build stuff?!"
Hiro's eyes lit up as he shook his head, a smug smile on his face, "They only let students that go to school there wander into the labs. I mean..well Fred is the exception."
Nova didn't even ask who Fred was as she practically yanked on his arm in excitement checking out the magnets on him.
"That is so rad Hiro! We should stay friends after all of this and you could take me there one day! I-I mean if you want to that is."
With a small blush on his face, Hiro absently scratched at the back of his neck with his free hand.
"Name a day Nova."
She looked down into his eyes realizing he was maybe a few inches shorter than her and grinned. Her heart swelled as she absently held his hand dragging him towards the police station.
Hiro had no problem being dragged there, he already knew that the officer was just going to offer to call Nova's parents as well.
He laughed quietly to himself.
