Author's Note: In celebration for a certain Marvel movie that came out recently (which I very much loved), I decided to update this fanfic since this very chapter is where I originally planned to introduce a certain character.
Enjoy the chapter. Any and all comments are welcome.
"Lucky Cat special: funny side up." Cass said laying out a plate of eggs, bacon, and baby hot dogs set up to look like happy people. She set it at the table where Tony, Hiro, Baymax, Wasabi, Honey Lemon, and Gogo sat.
"Aw, it's so cute." Honey Lemon said smiling at the eggs.
"I don't like my breakfast cute." Gogo said.
"The eyes, they follow you." Wasabi whispered full of fear.
"Whatever you say, scaredy cat." Tony said. He then turned to Cass, who was at the coffee machine trying to beat at it. "Hey, Cass, any chance I can get a breakfast special to go. It's for Happy. He's got a dentist appointment, so he couldn't be here, but I'm sure he'd love some of your café food."
"Oh, sure." Cass said still hitting the machine. "Just as soon as I get this thing to work!"
"Maybe it's time to replace it." Hiro said.
"I wish I could just buy a new one," Cass said deciding to bring in a roller pin to beat with, "But they're too expensive!" The machine shook a little before pouring coffee into a small cup. "There, fixed."
Of course, Cass' celebration didn't last long as the coffee machine kept pouring and pouring, even overflowing the cup. It then started to steam up ready to blow up.
"I suggest you back away." Baymax warned letting everyone hide behind him.
A part of the machine was blasted off the machine and was sent bouncing off every surface of the café. It hit everything around until Baymax finally caught it in his hands. After that, the machine rattled and hissed until it stopped working completely.
"Can we still call it a coffee shop if we don't serve coffee?" Cass asked.
"You know, if you want, I can lend you the money for a new coffee maker." Tony said. "Or better yet, I can build you a new one."
"You sure?" Cass asked. "I wouldn't want to impose."
"Cass, if I make a coffee machine, it'll be better than anything from any old factory." Tony said.
"It looks like Fred's eggs didn't make it." Wasabi said.
"Wait." Hiro said looking around. "Where is Fred?"
"Scan indicates, Fred is not here." Baymax said.
"Way to do the work of two human eyes, Baymax." Tony said.
"Should we be worried?" Honey Lemon asked.
"We could worry," Gogo said before pulling out her phone, "Or we could call him?" Suddenly, her phone started to ring. "Or he could call us." She pressed the green button and Fred's face appeared on the screen, panicking in fear.
"GUYS! EMERGENCY! HELP! NOW!"
Wasting no time, the heroes put on their super suits and headed over to Fred's house. They burst into his room ready for a fight… but instead, what they found was Fred with cucumbers on his eyes, wearing a bathrobe and getting his feet tended to by Heathcliff. He didn't look like he was in any danger at all.
"This does not appear to be an emergency." Baymax said before he and everyone else changed out of their super suits.
"No, but if someone doesn't give us an explanation, there's going to be one." Tony threatened.
"If you're looking for someone to cut your toenails, the answer is no." Wasabi said. "Never again."
"That hangnail was majorly infected, okay?" Fred asked. "A man can't operate on himself."
"Freddy, why are we here?" Honey Lemon asked.
"Because it's here!" Fred said fearfully. "There's no escape! There's no hope!"
"All right, drama king." Gogo said. "Explanation, now."
"It's my… bro-tillion." Fred said glumly falling on the couch.
"What'd he say?" Wasabi asked.
"Something about… reptilian, I think?" Tony asked.
"Oh, something with his costume." Honey Lemon guessed.
"No. I said 'bro'. Bro-bro-bro. Bro. Bro."
"Heathcliff, translation?" Gogo asked Fred's butler.
"The time ahs come for Master Frederick's bro-tillion, a grand gala held in his honor where he will be formally presented to the city's monied elite."
"Fred, translation?" Tony asked.
"It's a stuffy party where I have to stuff myself into a stuffy suit and talk to stuffy people about stuffy things. Didn't you get my invite, Tony? I sent it to you in the mail."
"That was you?" Tony asked. He reached his back pocket and pulled out a card with party decorations on it. "I thought some ten-year-old sent me a birthday invitation by mistake."
"Well, you're the richest kid in San Fransokyo, so you're cordially invited." Fred said. "And that's not even the worst part! And then there's… Binky."
"I do not have any data on… Binky." Baymax said.
That's when Fred's mom walked in to give her explanation. "Beverly Samantha Mole, aka Binky. The reigning queen of San Fransokyo's snob society."
"Oh, is she the snobby woman with the collapsable hair?" Tony asked. "I swear, it's like a loose piece of it could have it toppling over like a Jenga tower. Wait… Her name is Mole? Fred, don't you have a comic book collector rival named Mole?"
"Hey, they're family." Fred said rolling his eyes.
"And much like the young man himself, Binky is rude, arrogant, and…" Mrs. Fredrickson said before Heathcliff spoke for her.
"Quite insufferable. Not at all down to earth like you, madame."
"Which is why everything must be perfect." Mrs. Fredrickson said taking Fred's measurements. "Right, dear?"
"Right, Mom." Fred replied watching his mom and Heathcliff walk away.
"Why does your mom care what this Binky lady thinks?" Gogo asked.
"Well…" Fred said nervously, "There was the time I defaced priceless art. In my defense, the concept of priceless art was still new to me. Then, there was the monkey incident. In my defense, the monkeys looked up to me as their leader. And I'm still not allowed at the yacht club. In my defense… Well, I don't really have a defense for that one. So you see, I can't let my mom down again. You guys have to help me. I need to become a proper young gentledude, and I need to do it by Saturday."
"Saturday?" Wasabi asked. "Which Saturday? This Saturday?"
"No, Wasabi. The second Saturday in ten years from now." Tony said sarcastically. "All right, Fred. What's happening?"
"Well, Fred's already taken care of personal grooming, Mrs. Fredrickson's handling wardrobe." Honey Lemon said. "What's next, Fred?"
"Preparing for the moment I fear more than anything… the dance."
"That really wasn't worth the dramatic pause." Gogo said.
"Yuh, huh!"
"Got two left feet, huh?" Tony asked.
"Don't worry, Fred." Hiro said. "I got this."
A short while later, Hiro returned to the team with Baymax. He presented him to them like he was a showcase exhibit.
"Allow me to introduce Baymax, now with dance mode!"
"Five, six, seven, eight." Baymax counted before beginning various dances, including ballet, clog dancing, hip-hop, and the robot.
"What did you do?" Tony asked.
"I made Baymax a new chip." Hiro said. "This one gives him the instructions of every dance known to man."
"Well, did you have to make him know the robot?" Gogo asked. "Seems a little cheap considering he already is a robot."
"I like covering my bases." Hiro said.
"And now, the waltz." Baymax said inviting Fred over to dance with him. He then guided his hands to their positions. "Your arms go here and here."
What followed next was Baymax leading the dance while Fred struggled with trying to learn how to dance like Baymax. That's when the door opened and Mrs. Frederick and Heathcliff interrupted.
"Terrible news, Frederick! Avalanche on the family mountain. Of course, your father is leading the search party."
"So my party's off?" Fred asked hopefully.
"Don't even joke about that."
"Madame, more terrible news." Heathcliff said. "The caterer has canceled."
"What?! No! No! Did you tell him I would pay him obscenely?"
"Of course."
"Oh, this cannot be happening! Come, Heathcliff, we have to find another caterer or the bro-tillion will be ruined! I'll be ruined!"
Hiro then smiled as an idea formed in his head. "Be right back." He proceeded to follow Mrs. Fredrickson and Heathcliff out of the room.
"Well, all that was fun," Tony said, "But I should head home and get ready. I'll see you guys on Saturday."
The night has come for Fred's bro-tillion. Tony returned to Fred's house finding it filled with high-class elite citizens of San Fransokyo. He was wearing a sharp suit with a black tie. He was sorely tempted to pull out his smartphone, play loud music, and dance for everyone to see, but he knew that this was Fred's special day, so he resisted the temptation. Instead, all he could do was walk around and converse.
"Oh, you must be little Tony Stark." a man in a suit said walking up to him. He was a rugged man with a Russian accent.
"Little? Really?" Tony asked. "What, they're actually calling me little?"
The man laughed. "I meant no offense. The name's Anton Vanko. I'm an old associate of your father. He and I had some unfinished business, so I thought you and I could settle it…"
"As much as I'm looking forward to that," Tony said already sounding uninterested, "You'll have to make an appointment with my secretary at Stark Industries. Now, if you excuse me, I got a friend to support."
Tony walked away before Anton could say another word. He looked around some more and noticed another man who acted as a wallflower. He was a short, gruff-looking man without any formal attire. He simply wore casual clothes and a leather jacket. Tony was thankful he ran into the Fredrickson family's butler so he could ease his curiosity.
"Hey, Heathcliff," Tony said, "What's up with the wallflower over there?" He pointed at the gruff man.
"Ah. Pay him no mind, Mr. Stark. He's an old friend of Master Fredrickson's father. He likely must have sent him here to keep the young man out of trouble."
"Trouble?" Tony asked. "What kind of trouble could…"
Tony didn't get the chance to finish his question. He was immediately greeted by Hiro who wore a waiter's outfit. He was offering him a plate full of dessert that looked like cute, little pandas.
"Hey, Tony."
"Hiro?" Tony asked. "What are you wearing?"
"It's pretty much the only way the others can be here to support Fred." Hiro explained. "Besides, my Aunt Cass is doing the catering to pay for a new coffee maker."
"Well, that does explain the petting zoo hors d'ourvres." Tony said picking up a panda snack.
At that moment, everyone was turned to the sound of fingers tapping a microphone. Everyone looked up and saw Mrs. Fredrickson standing before everyone in the middle of the staircase.
"Good evening, all. Thank you for coming. It is with great pride that I introduce the bro of the hour, my son, Frederick."
Mrs. Frederickson stepped aside allowing Fred to take her place on the stairs. He looked nervous, and he became even more nervous when he noticed Binky Mole among the crowd. He pulled Baymax away from his catering duties to help him remain calm, but nothing worked.
Other than that, everything was fine. That is, until everything started to shake. Everyone felt a rumbling feeling coming from the ground and saw the hanging decorations swing around. That's when the ground burst open.
Everyone ran when a massive drill bore out from the ground and took up half of the room. The drill opened up revealing a man who stepped out of a cloud of steam. It was an old man in a blue captain uniform, but mostly equipped with very large, metal cannisters that gave off some steam.
"Greetings, San Fransokyo! It is I, Baron Von Steamer!" Everyone gave blank stares to him giving no response. "I was a pretty well-known villain in my day." Still silence. "No? Steam? Steamer? Nobody remembers? Well, I guess there's not room in your fancy pocket-vest telephones for history."
"This is a private affair, sir!" Mrs. Fredrickson stated to Baron Von Steamer. "And you did not RSVP!"
"I did not RSVP, and I didn't bring a guest." Steamer said. "But I am taking one… FREDERICK FREDERICKSON THE FOURTH!"
"Wait, what?" Fred asked. "Does this mean I don't have to dance?"
The crowd screamed and ran out the exits as fast as they could. Once all the guests have gone, all that were left were the heroes and Baron Von Steamer, who was throwing away everything in his path on his way to Fred.
"Wow. A supervillain crashed my bro-tillion." Fred said admiringly.
"Yes! A supervillain crashed your bro-tillion!" Wasabi shouted fearfully.
"Protect Fred!" Hiro ordered.
While Wasabi tried to run with Fred behind him, Gogo threw her serving plate at Steamer like it was one of her disks. However, he caught it with his mechanical hand and bent it. He then blasted the ground covering him with a wall of boiling-hot steam. Hiro picked up a set of utensils and threw them at the cloud, but it was like they went right through it. Honey Lemon fanned the cloud away with a tablecloth, but Baron Von Steamer shot his steam gun at her. She narrowly avoided it and hid herself behind a pillar with her friends.
"We need our gear!" Gogo stated.
"Well, this is a bad time to leave my armor at home!" Tony groaned.
While Steamer was attempting to burn the heroes, Baymax watched from afar. "Scanning… Steam is hazardous. It can cause third-degree burns."
"That is the ambition of the weapon, pale dirigible!" Baron Von Steamer said before blasting Baymax away. The same blast quickly melted an ice statue of Fred, much to the real Fred's horror.
"He melted my face?" Fred asked. "A bro should not have to see his own face melted."
"Don't look at it!" Wasabi shouted pulling Fred away. They tried to reach the door, but it was locked. They were now cornered when Baron Von Steamer caught up to them.
"Ah, young Frederick." Baron Von Steamer said. "You have grown since the baby child you presumably were at one point."
"So I'm guessing you two haven't met." Wasabi whispered to Fred.
"I think I'd remember." Fred whispered back.
Steamer reached into his pocket and pulled out a folded up paper which he then unfolded. It showed a picture of a magnificent superhero in a blue, black, and red outfit, a yellow visor, and a white mustache. The caption above him read "Boss Awesome saves the day again!"
"You are the spitting image of your accursed father." Steamer said. "Now, I shall have my revenge on him by…"
"Hey, Steamer!"
A rough sounding voice caught everyone's attention. Everyone turned their attention to the grifter-looking man who Tony spotted before stepping up. He narrowed his eyes at Steamer and cracked his knuckles.
"How about you step away from the kids?"
"Uh, listen, buddy," Tony said, "You don't want any part of this. This guy's got some old-school level machinery. If you want to pick a fight with him, you're going to need a…"
Tony was cut off when he noticed something growing out of the stranger's fists. From each of the spaces between his knuckles, a sharp, metal blade slid out of his skin making everyone gape in shock. It was like three knives dug themselves out of each of his hands.
"Set of Ginsu knives growing out of your hands." Tony continued still surprised.
The stranger scoffed at Tony's remark and looked back at Steamer. "I'll say it again. Step away from the kids… bub."
"Ah, well, look at this." Baron Von Steamer said. "If it isn't Wolverine. My, you haven't aged a day."
"Wish I could say the same to you, Steamer." the man called Wolverine returned. "Now, I'd rather not get blood on the old man's kid's party, so I'm giving you this one chance. Get back in your drill and go back to wherever you came from."
"As tempting as that sounds, I'm afraid… EAT STEAM, YOU FERAL ANIMAL!"
Baron Von Steamer quickly aimed his gun and fired a blast of steam at Wolverine, who dodged out of the way and sprinted toward him. He jumped up into the air and landed right on top of Steamer, impaling his claws into his mechanical hand before kicking his body away with his own two feet.
"Uh, who are you?" Wasabi asked.
"Answers later!" Wolverine growled. "Just get back to the others! I'll get the rich boy!"
Wolverine grabbed Fred's arm and ran to his right with him. Wasabi tried to run the other way, but Steamer quickly recovered and grabbed the back of his shirt with his metal hand and dragged him to the direction of the drill.
"UH, HEY! WHAT GIVES?!" Wasabi yelled.
Wolverine turned around and stared in confusion seeing Steamer with Wasabi. "Huh? What the…"
"You failed, Wolverine!" Steamer shouted continuing to drag Wasabi away. "Frederick Frederickson the Fourth is now in my clutches!" The rest of the heroes tried to save him, but Steamer created another smoke wall to keep everyone away.
"I'm not Fred." Wasabi said.
"Silence, prisoner!" Steamer said making the steam cloud bigger making everyone lose him. "Tell Boss Awesome he has until midnight to surrender if he ever wants to see his precious baby child again! HAHAHAHAHA!"
"Kay, not sure which way your creepy laugh is coming from!" Fred called out. "Could you cackle again, please?"
"No!"
Finally, the steam cloud passed, and neither Steamer, Wasabi, nor the drill were anywhere to be found. Everyone gathered around the hole that was used for the villain's escape.
"He got Wasabi!" Honey Lemon cried out.
"I think the supervillain thought he was me." Fred said.
"Super confused villain." Gogo said.
"Yeah, he always was a little senile." Wolverine said.
Tony looked over at Wolverine confused. "WHO THE HECK ARE YOU?!"
The stranger sighed. "The name's Logan. Some people call me Wolverine. I used to work with the old man."
"You mean Steamer?" Hiro asked.
"Not that old man." Logan said before pointing at Fred. "HIS old man. Frederick Frederickson the Third. Boss Awesome."
"What's all that supposed to mean?" Hiro asked.
"Uh, I think I have a good idea." Fred said.
Fred brought his friends and Logan to a secret room filled with superhero equipment and a giant supercomputer. They all gazed at a poster of a certain superhero.
"Your dad was a superhero?!" Honey Lemon asked.
"Named Boss Awesome." Gogo said judgingly.
"Twas the 70s." Fred said.
"How long have you known?" Tony asked.
"Since after the whole microbot fiasco a few months back." Fred said.
"You know, the old man ain't gonna like you showing your friends his secret hideout, kid." Logan said.
"Well, Dad's halfway around the world in Switzerstan." Fred said.
"We can keep a secret." Honey Lemon said.
All of a sudden, the computer screen lit up revealing an elderly man clearing his throat. "I'm glad somebody can."
"Uh, hey, Dad." Fred greeted nervously.
Mr. Frederickson looked back and spotted Logan among the kids. "Logan, what's going on? Why did you allow my son to bring his friends to my secret superhero den?"
"Look, BA, it wasn't my idea, but the situation got complicated." Logan said. "Steamer's back."
"Baron Von Steamer?" Mr. Frederickson asked surprised. "I can't believe he's still in the game. He was old back in the day."
"Well, he's back." Hiro said. "He crashed Fred's bro-tillion and wanted to kidnap him."
"I figured somebody would go after Fred." Mr. Frederickson said. "And since I'm all the way out here fighting yetis to save my crew, I knew I couldn't protect him. That's why I asked my old friend, Logan, to keep you safe. Looks like you did a good job, my friend."
"Eh, not exactly." Logan said. "Steamer's more confused than ever. He mistook another kid for your boy and dragged him away."
"Oh, that's different."
"Um, hi. Tony Stark here." Tony said. "I know we've got a friend to find, but I'm still confused on how you two know each other."
"Classic Stark curiosity." Mr. Frederickson said. "Very well. Fred, you already know that I used to be a superhero before I retired into my civilian life. But what I didn't tell you was that I was also the leader of my own superhero team."
Just then, the screen gave an image of a few costumed superheroes. One was Fred's dad in his Boss Awesome outfit. Another was Wolverine in a black-and-yellow spandex suit. There was also a man in a black-and-red outfit and a silver helmet that looked like an ant's head. The fourth was a woman with a similar silver helmet, but with a black-and-yellow outfit and a pair of insect wings on her back. The fifth was a black man wearing a blue outfit, a yellow cape, and the letter G on his belt. The last was a blonde man with a blue-and-white outfit and a very large pair of white-feathered wings.
"Whoa. Is that the team?" Tony asked.
"Yep. You know me and Wolverine. There was also Ant-Man, the Wasp, Goliath, and Angel. Together, we made up the Champions, the old generation superhero team that protected San Fransokyo against all kinds of threats, even Baron Von Steamer. He was my archnemesis."
"So what happened?" Fred asked.
"Oh, it's an age-old story, literally. I got too old to be a superhero, so I had to return to civilian life. And once I was gone, everyone went about their lives. Ant-Man and Wasp decided to raise their kid, Goliath is now a professor, and Wolverine and Angel are still working together with their own superhero team."
"That's a story for another time." Logan said. "Right now, we gotta find Steamer before he hurts the poor guy."
"Any idea where he might be?" Honey Lemon asked Fred's dad.
"All I got are a list of his old hideouts. But since Logan is there, you probably don't need them. He's got the keenest sense of smell I've ever seen."
"It's true." Logan said. "I'll be sure to pick up Steamer's trail. Not a lot of places in San Fransokyo that smells like hot, outdated tech from the Victorian Era."
"Classic."
Everyone put on their super suits and followed Logan to an old ironworks factory. It was dark, grimy, and damp.
"Well, this place is disgusting." Gogo said.
"Where to now, Wolvie?" Tony asked.
"Don't know. The trail stops here." Wolverine said standing up straight in his superhero costume. "And don't call me 'Wolvie'."
"Guys, look!" Honey Lemon said. She found a cookie shaped like a cat's face on the ground and picked it up to observe it. "It's Rodrigo! He made it!"
"Uh, what?" Wolverine asked.
"It's the stuff we were serving at the bro-tillion." Hiro said. "This must be the right place."
"Let me see that." Fred said taking the cookie. He looked at it and studied it hard before throwing it into his mouth. He ate it horrifying Honey Lemon. "Oh, I'm sorry. Did you wanna eat this?"
"Let's head deeper into the ironworks." Tony said. "We're bound to find Steamer sooner or later."
The team moved in closer into the factory until they found a door. Opening it, they found themselves in a much bigger room, where they found Baron Von Steamer standing next to a giant machine. Wasabi was seen too, trapped in a cage dangling from the ceiling.
"Oh, yes. Midnight is nigh, my captive buffoon." Baron Von Steamer said. "And your daddy's not here."
"I'm not Fred!" Wasabi yelled. "And my daddy's an orthodontist!"
"Nice try, baby child!" Baron Von Steamer said. He turned to his machine and pulled a switch. Once he did, a flow of melted hot lava flowed from the walls and into the pit below Wasabi. "Fire up the ironworks!"
"AHH! NO! STOP!" Wasabi yelled as his cage lowered into the lava. "WELL, WHAT IF I SAY I AM… Fred?" He fixed his eyes on the real Fred, who leaped out of hiding.
"SUPER JUMP!" Fred yelled jumping forward. He blasted a fireball at the machine, but it quickly ignited the rope holding Wasabi up making him descend faster.
"I got you!" Tony shouted flying over to Wasabi's cage. He caught it before it could fall in the lava and threw it aside. He then saw that Wasabi had his eyes closed tight. "Um, you can open your eyes now."
"Not ready yet."
"Scanning." Baymax said looking over at Wasabi. "You are unharmed, but damp."
"Yeah, well, it's hot in here." Wasabi said before looking away in shame with a voice that lowered with each word. "And I, uh, maybe… peed myself a little."
"That's gross." Tony said.
Baron Von Steamer groaned in frustration as he pulled another switch, which lowered a man-sized pneumatic tube over him. "MILLENNIALS!" he yelled before getting sucked up to the ceiling.
"Uh, did he just give up?" Wasabi asked.
"Not Steamer." Wolverine growled. "Not that easily."
Just as Wolverine predicted, Baron Von Steamer soon returned. The ceiling opened up and he descended into the room riding in a giant, metal, tank-like machine which stood on eight legs like a spider and two large hammers.
"Hey, guys, I lied." Fred said with his voice cracking in fear. "My fear of spiders is debilitating."
"Where is Boss Awesome?" Baron Von Steamer asked. "You're not bosses or awesome."
"Hey, for your information, I'm everyone's boss!" Tony shouted.
"The big guy ain't here right now, Baron." Wolverine said whipping out his claws. "But hey, you've at least got me."
"Well, the least I can do is crush Boss Awesome's baby child and his friend!" Baron Von Steamer shouted throwing a hammer down. Everyone dodged out of the way just in time.
"So it's a spider with a hammer!" Fred panicked some more.
Gogo rolled to throw one of her disks at the weapon, but it bounced off. The weapon then fired beams of fire at her which she avoided.
"I don't see what this thing has to do with steam!" she said.
"Well, you can't tell from the outside, but it's steam powered." Baron Von Steamer replied.
"I guess we'll have to take your word for it." Honey Lemon said attempting to throw a chemical ball at Steamer, but it had no avail.
While Steamer was distracted by the kids, Wolverine sprinted over behind his weapon. He then jumped up its leg and made it all the way to the top.
"Time to rip this thing apart!" Wolverine said before digging his claws into the weapon. However, as soon as he did, he was hit by an explosion of steam blasting him off of it.
"Nice try! But it comes equipped with steam traps too." Baron Von Steamer shouted.
"Come on, guys! We're not going to be beaten by a giant piece of outdated tech!" Tony shouted flying around the room trying to blast at Steamer's weapon.
Gogo threw another disk at Steamer, but it bounced off. He quickly got her off-balance and made her hit Honey Lemon, who then dropped a chemical ball at the two of them trapping them both. Baymax, Hiro, and Tony flew over to aid their friends, but Steamer shot another fire blast from his weapon at the big, red robot. Baymax flew out of the way, but accidentally hit Tony knocking them both off-course and hitting the weapons' legs. Hiro was launched off of Baymax's back right before the robot himself was stepped on by the weapon.
Seeing the kids in danger, Wolverine growled and looked over at Fred, who still stood petrified with fear. He rushed over to grab him and shake him roughly.
"What are you doing, kid? Help us fight!" Wolverine shouted.
"Huge spider. So big. So many legs." Fred whimpered.
"Get ahold of yourself, kid!" Wolverine roared. "You think your old man didn't have to face things that scared him every day! I could name many things that scared him while we were off saving the world! But you know what scared him the most? It's the fact that the people he cared for would be doomed if he failed them! His friends! His family! You! What are you afraid of more, a giant mechanical spider or seeing your friends die because you didn't do more?!"
Fred held onto Wolverine's words and looked around seeing his friends down and incapacitated. He dropped the fear on his face and freed himself from Wolverine's grip.
"You're right! I need to step up!"
"Finally!" Wolverine shouted. "Listen, I'm going for the weapons' legs now. I just need you to keep Steamer distracted."
"No problem." Fred said jumping over to get Steamer's attention. "Hey! You wanted Frederick Frederickson the Fourth, and here I am in a lizard costume!"
"Wait. You're Frederick?" Baron Von Steamer asked pulling out his Boss Awesome poster. "Ah, yes. I see the resemblance." He then fixed his eyes at Wasabi. "You scoundrel! How dare you impersonate a Frederickson?"
"Yeah, that's what I was doing." Wasabi said blankly.
"At last," Steamer said creeping his machine closer to Fred, "I will exact my revenge by defeating my archenemy's little baby child!"
"Listen, Steamer! Today is my bro-tillion!" Fred declared. "Today, I am not a baby child! I'm a MAN child!"
Baron Von Steamer slammed his hammer down at Fred, but he stepped away and started dancing to avoid Steamer's blows. He also blew fire at Steamer's front windows to blind him some more while Wolverine did his thing and used his claws to slice right through the weapon's legs.
Fred continued to dance and dodge Steamer's attacks while Wolverine kept on taking out more of the weapon's legs. Once the weapon was down to two legs, Fred jumped to the wall, bounced off, and hit Steamer's machine making it fall to its side.
Fred took a final bow while everyone else recovered. "You crashed the wrong party, Steamer!"
"Wow, Fred, I'm impressed." Tony said. "Not only did you conquer your fear, but you did it so gracefully."
"I couldn't have done it without my well-manicured buddy." Fred said looking over at Wolverine.
"I prefer the word 'bub'." Wolverine said.
Baron Von Steamer climbed out of his wrecked machine and looked over at the heroes. "It appears you have bested me, Frederick. You have failed my plan for revenge, and for that, I will have… revenge."
"Wait, are we talking a new revenge here?" Tony asked.
"Revenge against Boss Awesome. Revenge against you." Baron Von Steamer said. "Yes, I've got a whole bunch of revenges all piling up and it's not pretty!"
Steamer pulled another lever summoning another tube which sucked him up. He got stuck for a moment on his way up, but he soon popped out of his stuck spot and disappeared.
"Okay. Now, it's over." Wolverine said.
"So… about Fred's party…" Hiro started to say.
Since Baron Von Steamer made a mess at Fred's home, the bro-tillion had to be moved somewhere else. Thankfully, they managed to save it by moving everyone at the Lucky Cat Café. Now, the rich people could enjoy themselves along with the regular customers.
"Hiro, do you see?" Cass asked pulling out a stack of papers. "All these are catering jobs! I'm booked solid! I love this new espresso machine." She looked over at the industrial-sized, steam-powered espresso machine which was made from leftover parts courtesy of Baron Von Steamer.
"May I have this dance?" Fred asked inviting his mom to dance with him. She accepted and began waltzing with him. "Do you think Binky's having a good time?" They looked over at Binky, who received a hug from Baymax. "I'm sorry my bro-tillion got ruined, Mom. I know how much you wanted to impress Binky."
"Oh, I don't know. I like this one better. It's much more you." Fred's mom said. "Besides, I think it's time we both stopped worrying about what Binky thinks. I'm so proud of you, dear."
"Back at you, Madre." Fred returned.
Tony enjoyed himself until he noticed Logan leaving the café. He ran over to meet him outside.
"Whoa. Hold the breaks, Toto." Tony said. "Aren't you gonna stick around?"
"I'm not really the party type." Logan shrugged. "I was only here to make sure BA's kid is okay. I gotta head back to the school. I'm sure the professor's starting to miss me."
"Okay, this opens up a LOT of questions." Tony said.
"And maybe they'll be answered, but not by me and not tonight." Logan said. "But Stark, keep your friends safe. At least as much as your dad did to us."
"My dad?" Tony asked. "How do you know my dad?"
Logan pulled the picture of the Champions out of his pocket and passed it to Tony. "Kid, your old man was an honorary member of the Champions. He helped us out in ways you can't even imagine. Who do you think took that photo of us?"
Tony looked down at the photo surprised. He looked back up at Logan. "Wow. I can't believe my dad was more awesome than I thought."
"There are a lot of things about your dad you don't know yet." Logan said. "Some he'd love for you to know. Some he wouldn't. But the main thing is, everything he did, he did for you. Don't forget that. Well, I better get going. Tell Frederickson I said bye."
Like that, Logan walked over to a motorcycle. He revved it up and drove off disappearing into the night.
