In the hero lab-as they've fondly nicknamed it-everyone has a drink they enjoy.
Fred likes soda. All forms, all types. As long as it's carbonated and bubbly, and loaded with sugar, Fred is a happy camper.
Honey Lemon is obvious-it's her addiction to the hot beverage that got her the nickname in the first place. She drinks gallons of the stuff, loving the great taste and the side benefit of helping her not get sick.
Wasabi likes canned green tea, the kind he can buy from the vending machine. It's sweet, flavorful, and full of antioxidants (at least according to him).
Gogo likes protein shakes, preferably ones with weird flavors like acai berry and chocolate lavender. They taste great, she can drink and get full while working, and they build the muscle mass she needs for using her magnetic plates.
Because of this, none of them knew the perils of letting Hiro drink coffee.
"Has anyone seen Hiro since yesterday?"
Honey Lemon looked up from her photophore project (glow in the dark chemical orbs! So useful for late-night fights!) as Gogo scratched her head. "The door's been locked since I arrived this morning, so I assume he's in there. Why?"
"Doesn't he normally have it open by now?" Wasabi asked, turning off the latest laser display. Fred kicked his feet up, mentally considering ordering a pizza. "Little dude's probably fine, you're all paranoid."
"But did you see if he left last night?" Honey Lemon insisted, now getting a little worried.
Gogo shook her head. "We've all pulled all-nighters before, that's why we put cots in the spare room."
All-nighters were a more common occurrence than any of them wanted to admit. And had led to some...interesting revelations between the group members.
"Hmm...wouldn't Baymax know?"
"Probably." They all glanced at the little red case. "Ow." Gogo said dryly, snapping her gum.
The case opened, and the big, fluffy, inflatable robot they had all come to regard as one of the team stepped out. "Hello, I am Baymax, your personal healthcare provider. I have been activated by a sound of distress. Are you injured: Gogo?"
"I'm fine."
"We're worried about Hiro, do you know if he went home last night?"
Baymax tilted his head to the side, replaying his memory card. "I began charging at 10:46 last night, and there is no indication of use of Hiro's key access card."
(What? It's a super lab, it makes sense that Hiro designed another card so Baymax would know who was coming and going.)
"If he has not emerged in the past: 18 hours, he has most likely not fulfilling the nutritional and sleep requirements necessary for a young adolescent."
Fred inched over to Wasabi. "What?"
"He's worried that Hiro hasn't eaten or slept."
Baymax waddled over to the door, knocking carefully. "Hiro? Are you conscious and present?"
The door opened, revealing a very messy-haired, tired-eyed, and still bouncy Hiro. "Hey Baymax! What's up everyone doing ok any big emergencies I didn't hear anything blow up so what's up?"
Everyone blinked at the fast delivery. Hiro talked fast, but not usually that fast. And he was practically bouncing from foot to foot, despite the dark circles under his eyes. A glance into his lab showed that all of his screens had been turned upside down and one of his machines had been repurposed to be hung upside down from, and the trash can was overflowing with junked designs, wrappers, and...insulated paper cups?
...maybe something was wrong with Hiro.
Baymax did the up-down-blink that meant he had run a scan. "Hiro, you show strong indications of fatigue and caffeine usage."
If Baymax was more capable of showing emotion, he would have sounded slightly annoyed. Hiro waved it off.
"Oh yeah I got some coffee from the student area and it was really good because I was working on Dr. Knightknect's circuit design class and that class in insane did you see the textbook I thought it was gonna crush Baymax with it but then I had this great idea-"
"Hiro, how much coffee did you drink last night?" Honey Lemon interrupted.
Hiro blinked and tilted his head to the side, considering, hands twitching as he thought about it. "Well first there was the normal coffee and then that espresso thing and I had four or five of those-"
"You had four or five espressos?! Are you crazy?!"
"No no no, it's for a really good idea so I could stay awake and finish it and it's so awesome and I can't wait to show my professor-"
"Hiro, I believe you would benefit from some sleep." Baymax determined carefully, waddling forward and setting a hand on Hiro's shoulder. Hiro kept bouncing in place. "But I'm not tired I could go work on that new car I was thinking about-"
Hiro suddenly fell over, Baymax catching him and retracting the shot. "I have temporarily tranquilized Hiro. I believe it would be beneficial to allow him to sleep." Baymax explained, waddling over to the Sleepy Genius room (Fred's nickname) and tucked him in. The rest of the team decided that it was probably the wisest course of action and went back to their own projects, though Honey Lemon couldn't resist cooing over the sleeping teen.
After that, Hiro decided coffee wasn't worth it.
