Well…I hope you all got the drama you wanted! The drama train's not stopping now! So on to the next chapter-and some uplifting-call it 'Operation Get GoGo Back'!
Hiro could only sit in stunned silence after the dressing down he received from Honey Lemon. After spending the previous night trying to console GoGo, she came to the café and read Hiro the riot act. And now, after the blond chemist left, Hiro had a big problem. His relationship with GoGo-and not just the romantic relationship-was on the rocks.
He got up from the table, and headed to his bedroom. He looked at the stack of photos-the 'evidence' of GoGo's infidelity. Honey said she had been drugged…so it wasn't her fault...
This left him with another set of questions-If GoGo was drugged-why? And why send me these photos? He didn't realize that Baymax had returned. The ever-helpful medic-bot said, "Greetings Hiro."
Hiro replied, "Hey bud."
Baymax said, "Hiro…your emotional indicators are critically low. This could be due to depression or sadness. Would a hug make you feel better?" The robot waddled towards Hiro, with his arms outstretched.
Hiro sighed, and accepted his bro-bot's embrace. The robot patted Hiro's head, saying, "There, there…my records show that you only reach this state when something negative has happened between you and GoGo. Communication with a friend or loved one is a proven method to improve your mood."
Hiro said, "Baymax…bud…I really screwed up with GoGo…" Baymax said, "Please explain. You were progressing very well in your relationship."
Hiro replied, "I gave her space…and established trust with her…and felt betrayed when I saw those pictures."
Baymax said, "GoGo was here Saturday morning. I scanned her. Would you care to read her report?"
Hiro said, "Isn't that a violation of confidentiality?" Baymax said, "You are the prime master of data that I have recorded."
Hiro said, "Well, in that case…display report."
Baymax said, "Report for Tanaka, Leiko-Elevated metabolism, due to body processing a foreign substance. Subject possessed no other physiological or physical abnormalities."
Hiro said, "If she had sexual contact the night before, your scanners would detect it, right?"
Baymax said, "Indeed. I would have detected an elevation of hormones-since the time frame between sexual intercourse and the scanning would have been very short. There was also a lack of physical indicators as well."
Hiro then said, "Wait…is it possible to have sexual intercourse and not leave any traces-physical or otherwise?"
Baymax replied, "My computer indicates that there would be a .0001 chance of that happening."
Hiro then said, "Baymax, time to be a detective." He switched out Baymax's medic chip, and exchanged it with the 'Detective" chip. Hiro then said, "I have a photo."
He showed Baymax the photo-the only other person who would have seen this photo. Baymax looked at the photo, and said, "Hiro-I have determined that this scene has been staged. Apparently, GoGo was drugged, undressed and placed in the bed. The man was on top-but there was no contact."
Hiro sat back down, and as he did, he said, "Thanks, bud. I feel a little better."
Baymax replied, "I am pleased that your emotional indicators are increasing. Now you must consider how you will repair your relationship with GoGo." At that, an image of the speedster appeared on Baymax's belly-monitor.
Meanwhile, the aforementioned speedster was about to experience another crisis…Honey mentioned she was going to the café to talk with Hiro. Now GoGo was alone. She grabbed her phone-and cycled through several pictures. There was the one that Cass had took of the two of them sleeping together-that night we came together…
She looked at another photo-taken during the rebuilding of the café. And one more from a carnival-GoGo's back was flush against Hiro's chest, and his arms were protectively wrapped around her waist…such great memories…now all we have is distrust…and our relationship may be ruined beyond repair…
GoGo got up, and found a piece of paper. Wallowing in self-pity wasn't GoGo's thing. She then scribbled a note to Honey. She would go to her apartment, change, and go to the garage-which for GoGo was sanctuary.
Once back in her apartment, she wanted something to eat. She grabbed a takeout box and a soda, and heated up her food. It seemed as though she wasn't even home ten minutes before there was a knock at the door. Who could that be? GoGo went through the possibilities…but only came up with one…
She opened the door-to see Ray behind it. He said, "Oh, Miss Tanaka! You're OK!"
GoGo said, "Yeah…why wouldn't I be?"
Ray said, "You collapsed at my place. I didn't know what was wrong. I placed you in my bed to be safe."
GoGo regarded Ray strangely. She knew she'd been drugged…but she didn't want to confront him on that-not yet, anyway. Ray said, "You're fine, right? You're not working too hard?"
GoGo said, "I'm good. I'd rather not see you, though."
Ray said, "What's wrong?"
GoGo said, "Just some personal things…relationship problems. I was just on the way to the garage after my snack."
Ray said, "Can I give you a lift to the garage?"
GoGo said, "That's nice of you to offer, but I can manage. Why are you here?"
Ray said, "I wanted to apologize for leaving you in the apartment alone like that. I had an emergency meeting with several financiers concerning the funding of your project. And I have to come and give you the good news."
GoGo said, "Good news?" Ray replied, "We are willing to fund your project-from start to market."
GoGo said, "ReallY? Ray said, "Yes. They were impressed with your ideas. Congratulations, GoGo."
GoGo was so thrilled…and then she realized something. "Hey, Ray…did you call me 'GoGo'?"
Ray said, "Hmm…I did…"
GoGo said, "I never told you that name…"
Ray said, "Well…maybe it was a lucky guess."
GoGo replied, "Or…you're working for someone else!" Ray had crossed the room, and pushed a handkerchief into GoGo's face. He did it with such force that she slammed into a wall.
Ray then smiled, and said, "Right you are…and everything has been done according to plan."
GoGo felt herself losing consciousness-but she asked, "Who's…plan…?"
Ray replied, "You'll find out…soon enough…" Ray then grabbed GoGo, and took her to his car. He then zipped off with his hostage.
Hiro had spent the rest of the day trying to figure out a way to win GoGo back. He thought about flowers, and candy, and gifts…but all those seemed like bribes. Maybe if I just confess…and admit to being such a jackass…
He heard his phone chiming, and looked to see Honey Lemon calling him. He wasn't in the mood for more of Honey's lectures, and was about to disconnect the call. But he actually swiped the phone to answer…Oh well…I'll just say I'm busy…
Hiro answered, "Hey, Honey."
When Honey spoke, she was in a state of panic. "Hiro…GoGo's not here!"
Hiro said, "Honey-what do you mean?"
Honey said, "I came back to my place, and she had left. But I called the garage and her phone. And she didn't respond."
Hiro then began to feel dread. He knew she wouldn't want to talk to him…but Honey and GoGo were really close. And If Honey couldn't get ahold of GoGo…
Hiro then said, "Where are you now?"
Honey said, "GoGo gave me a spare key to her place…but when I got there, the door was already unlocked…and GoGo's phone was on the kitchen counter." Hiro noted that the chemist sounded close to crying.
Hiro said, "Honey…I'm on my way. Call the others. Tell them to be suited up and ready for action."
Honey said, "Alright. Hiro…"
Hiro said, "Yeah, Honey?"
Honey said, "I just…wanted to help you guys out…"
Hiro said, "Honey…you have…" Hiro then said, "Baymax, suit up! We're headed out!"
And another chapter draws to a close!
AN1: I know some of you will hate GoGo becoming a distressed damsel…but let's be reasonable-it doesn't matter how much of a badass you are-if someone bigger than you wants you, and gets the drop on you, you're boned…
AN2: Well, this reconciliation between GoGo and Hiro might be hard to do without seeming-rushed. Don't worry…I'll figure something out!
Until the next time…read, comment, fave, and follow!
