Chapter 2
Cass shook the bucket of chicken wings into her hot sauce as she watched the morning news. She always kept an eye on major events in the city for Hiro. Hiro had accidentally spilled the beans about his group's quest several years ago and how they had saved the city. Cass was so proud of her nephew and his friends that she would inform the group of activity in the city. They were currently over, chowing on Cass's famous chicken wings. The hot sauce seemed to only affect Cass as she had a very low tolerance for spice.
The news station changed to a breaking news page with a reporter in the middle of the screen standing in front of the National Bank. The banner on the bottom of the screen read "Bank Robbery".
"Ooo! Guys look at this!" Cass called from her spot in the kitchen.
"What is it Aunt Cass?" Hiro asked as the gang followed him over.
Cass turned up the volume as the reporter went about her story.
"Many people are trapped inside as hostages. We do not know the number of robbers or exactly how many hostages are inside, but it is a Friday night and the bank would be crowded at this time. We have heard several gunshots fired already. The police chief is here with us on the scene as well as the fire department, who is standing by, waiting for news if there are any injured hostages. It looks like a waiting game right now," the reporter finished before the camera flashed to a different angle of the bank.
"The National Bank huh?" Wasabi commented.
"Dude, are we going to save the day or what?!" Fred said excitedly.
"I don't know, this one seems kind of dangerous and big, what with guns and all," Honey Lemon chimed in.
"Fear not Honey Lemon! I will protect you," Fred teased making Honey Lemon blush.
"Hiro?" Gogo inquired.
Hiro glanced around at his friends. Crime fighting was nothing new to them and he knew they could handle themselves. They had all been training on the side for years now and they were a very effective team.
"Let's do this!" Hiro cheered.
His friends disbanded and reached for their packs. Gogo raced up the stairs claiming Hiro's room as her changing room. Honey Lemon and Fred took the guest bathroom and bedroom, and Wasabi threw on his shirt in the kitchen. He found his pants very comfortable and had no interest in removing them.
Hiro stuffed one last chicken wing in his mouth before heading up to his room, completely unaware that Gogo was currently changing into her outfit in his bedroom. He opened the door with wide eyes as he gazed upon Gogo's exposed backside. Her defining vertebrae disappeared into her pants and her shoulder blades popped out exposing her toned arms. Of course Hiro found her attractive as he looked at her back. He began to wonder what the rest of her looked like.
"Ah! Hiro!" Gogo said pulling her skintight shirt up to cover her chest as she turned aroung.
Hiro's face turned bright red. "I'm sorry!" he managed to say through his stuffed mouth.
"Get out now!" Gogo said pointing a finger to him to go back through his door.
"It's my room! You can't make me leave," Hiro said swallowing his chicken.
"Ugghh," Gogo complained. "Fine. Just don't look."
Hiro did a two finger salute to Gogo and headed for his closet. He opened the trunk on the floor and pulled out his outfit. He looked briefly at the rest of the contents in the trunk. His original suit and helmet were at the bottom, carefully folded away as they no longer fit. He no longer needed the suit and helmet as he modified Baymax's armor to respond to the human touch, so he wore a blue jacket with flexible pants and t-shirt. Honey Lemon had been working on developing more protective gear for him but her plans were interrupted when she accepted an offer from one of Alistair Krei's partners to continue developing her chem-balls. Everyone was very supportive of her, but Hiro's suit was pushed aside.
Hiro turned around and noticed that Gogo moved to change behind the divider that once separated Tadashi's side of the room from Hiro's. So he placed his outfit on the bed and began o change. He had just put his pants on when Gogo appeared behind the divider, catching Hiro in the same situation he had caught her. Her eyes widened with embarrassment and attraction as she gazed upon his exposed chest. His muscles had formed nicely, very defined by his slim figure, and he had grown very strong, practicing his own fighting moves should he ever become separated from Baymax in a fight.
Gogo's face turned cherry red as she reluctantly averted her eyes from Hiro. He noticed her discomfort and finished pulling his shirt and jacket on.
"I have to go get Baymax. Meet you there?" was all Hiro said.
Gogo nodded without looking directly at him.
"Everything alright?" Hiro asked stepping closer to her.
She finally looked up at him and the blush returned to her face when she noticed his proximity to her. She was fine. Right? Everything is not fine! This is Tadashi's little brother! She popped her bubblegum in Hiro's face to distract her thoughts.
"Yeah, you're alright!" Hiro said grinning. "Meet you at the bank!" he said as he ran downstairs leaving Gogo in his room stewing in her mind.
You do not like Hiro! You do not find him attractive with his shirt off!
She tried to convince herself otherwise, but her mind kept replaying the image of his naked torso.
