I do not own Big Hero 6 or any of the characters. I couldn't leave this alone, especially with the extremely viable challenge someone gave me. We all know I love challenges.


Won't Slow Down

Hiro sat at his desk typing away on his keyboard and sighed. It had been two years since he and the others had stopped Callaghan and saved Abigail. At first she had stayed in touch, considering friends since they had saved her life. However, after a while, she had moved on with her life, as any human would, and the last Hiro had heard from her, he had been congratulating her on her engagement. The team had turned from fighting a super villain to just stopping general crime. Car theft, bank robbery, and home break-ins were pretty common. Due to not really needing to move above a run on average, Hiro had adapted GoGo's skates to collapse when not needed. He had also adapted Wasabi's blades to have the effect of paralyzing anyone hit by them for a few hours while still being able to cut through inanimate objects. Fred, he had changed to being able to exhale pepper spray, which was a bit more fun, but required him to be very careful and not spray it everywhere. He had also given him a pair of rectangular shields he could use like signs. They had remained a team for the first year and a half. Up until most of them had finished college. Wasabi had moved on to design shielding for Nasa rockets. Honey Lemon had gone on to become an artist, using the same technology Hiro had designed for her but with paint. Fred had moved nowhere. He still lived in the mansion, he was still the school mascot, but he had found a girlfriend who was as...unique as he was. And then he had dropped out of the team. The only ones left were Hiro, GoGo, and Baymax, who didn't have a whole lot of choice in the matter.

Hiro was adapting his and Gogo's suits to both have access to Wasabi's blades and balls of everything from paint, to instant cement, something Honey Lemon had designed, to pepper spray grenades. He finally finished and checked then double checked his work before standing. He looked at his punching bag then simply collapsed onto his couch, groaning. This had been how he spent almost every second of his time, when not tinkering with their suits. He had grown a lot in two years, and was now almost as tall as GoGo. His new suit also lacked the color it had once held, being mostly black now.

There was a knock on the door but he didn't answer. After a minute, it opened and he heard someone walk in and sit in his desk chair. They remained silent for a while and he ignored them.

"Well?" GoGo's voice finally spoke up, not annoyed, impatient, or expectant, like she would have been a while back, but sympathetic and kind. "Are you gonna just lay there all day? Again?"

"Go away," Hiro finally said into his pillow.

"Hiro, you can't stay depressed forever," GoGo sighed. "The others just have other things they need to do."

"I'm just tired," Hiro sighed. "My friends all left, my parents are dead, my brother is dead, my aunt is busy dating, and no matter what I do, it seems like I'm never good enough for anyone I care about. No one, no matter who they are or what I do, ever feels the same way I do."

"I see," GoGo sighed. "Hiro, you're not the only one that feels that way. There are a lost of people that feel the same, me for one. They were my friends too, remember?"

Hiro stared at her for a moment then buried his face in his pillow again to hide the tears.

Of course she was talking about the others moving away you fucking idiot, Hiro mentally berated himself. Why the hell would she ever have been talking about...

He stopped himself, mentally kicking himself for almost thinking what he swore he never would. Not after what he had found out. After a moment He heard GoGo stand and turned to look at her, managing to stop himself from crying anymore.

"And they were my friends too," GoGo stated before walking to the door, then hesitating. "You are good enough Hiro. No matter what anyone says, you are good enough. They're just not smart enough to see it."

Then, she left and Hiro stared at the door in shock. She couldn't have been talking about that. Could she? Or was he imagining things again? It was these thoughts that played through his head again and again as he lay there. Finally, he couldn't take it and got up, quickly putting his helmet and chest plate on, the rest of the armor spreading from under it, a new design he had made. Then, he turned to Baymax's charging station.

"Ouch," he said flatly.

Baymax inflated and stepped out of the charging station.

"Hello Hiro," Baymax greeted. "Are you feeling better?"

"Yes," Hiro nodded. "Suit up. We're going out."

Baymax stepped back into his charging station and several mechanical hands extended from it, attaching his armor to him. Once it was done, the two of them made their way to the balcony Hiro had built onto the side of their house where Baymax could take off. Hiro climbed onto Baymax's back and Baymax shot into the air, doing a couple of loops before leveling out and looking around the city.

"Crime in progress," Baymax reported. "Bank robbery."

"Let's go," Hiro growled and Baymax turned, flying to the bank and landing on top of it, Hiro watching the scene below them.

The police had the bank surrounded and had their guns trained on the robber but weren't firing. Likewise, the robber wasn't firing back. Though, by the looks the cops had, he clearly was dangerous. Hiro looked straight down to see a group of three, one with a grenade launcher, one an M60, and one with a Desert Eagle to the temple of a terrified bank teller. Hiro could also see GoGo crouching behind a police car, seemingly not having noticed him and Baymax.

"Nice and quiet Baymax," Hiro whispered. "I'll handle them once we're down there but I need you to stop the middle one from firing. That might mean hurting him."

Baymax remained silent for a moment as Hiro climbed onto his back then stepped off the roof, the magnetics on Hiro's suit holding him in place as Baymax crashed down just behind the three, launching them and the bank teller away from the bank, bags of money landing everywhere. The bank teller fled and Hiro dropped to the ground hurling instant cement bombs at the two with the bigger guns, the substance covering their bodies and keeping them held in place. Just as he reached for a third grenade, the third robber stood slowly, looking back at Hiro who saw he was wearing a kabuki mask matching the one Callaghan had worn to control the microbots. Just as he turned around, GoGo blurred out of her hiding spot, grabbing Hiro and speeding away as Baymax leapt into the air, a massive bolt of electricity shooting out of the robber's gloved hand and exploding inside the bank. Hiro stared in shock as smoke and flames curled out of the windows and door of the bank, screams reaching his ears from inside.

Baymax circled back and broke in through the roof, planning to save everyone. While he did, GoGo finally slowed to a stop, setting Hiro down and sighing.

"Why did you think I hadn't stopped them yet?" GoGo asked. "The leader has more than just electricity powers."

"What do you mean?" Hiro asked as GoGo stared into the sky, eyes widening.

He looked and saw a school bus falling toward them. Hiro swore and shoved GoGo before leaping aside, the bus crashing down between them. Just as Hiro stood, roots shot out of the ground, wrapping around him and lifting him fifty feet into the air. A moment later, the robber with the mask floated down onto the roots a few feet from Hiro and crossed his arms.

"You just cost me a very large payout, boy," the man growled. "Congratulations. You now get to be the first person I kill with my powers rather than a gun. You should feel honored."

He raised his hand, electricity beginning to arc across the palm and fingers. Just before it fired, one of GoGo's blades hit his arm, knocking it sideways and instead blasting a parked pickup truck. The man's head snapped sideways at GoGo and he growled in frustration as the blade returned to GoGo. Just as he turned toward her, Hiro extended his laser blades and cut himself free, catching a root and pulling out a pepper spray grenade. He pulled himself up, hurling it at the man before letting go. The man roared in pain, falling backward as he clutched his mask. At the last second, GoGo sped under Hiro, catching him before slowing to a stop as the man landed on his feet and stood laughing.

"I'm wearing a mask you dumbass," the man snorted. "Eye protection, filtered breathing that can stand up to tear gas, and the ability to break free of that instant cement you're both so proud of."

GoGo set Hiro on his feet and he pulled out an instant cement grenade. GoGo pulled out a pepper spray grenade and crouched slightly. Before she could go for the mask, Hiro dropped the instant cement grenade. It exploded at their feet, shooting up around them just before several massive root tentacles broke through the back, stopping just short of impaling them both. GoGo stared at them in shock as Hiro cut their way out through the ground, opening a whole into the sewer.

"Let's go," Hiro said resting hand on her shoulder. "We can't beat him this time. We don't even know how he uses his powers."

"Right," GoGo nodded. "We need to leave."

She dropped into the sewer first, landing in knee-deep sewer water then looked up as Hiro dropped next to her, accidentally splashing her up to her neck.

"Sorry," Hiro winced.

"Don't worry about it," GoGo sighed wiping as much off as she could. "Thanks for the escape tunnel. I think we should move though."

"I agree," Hiro nodded looking around. "My house is this way. I'll have Baymax pick you up some clothes and we can get cleaned up there. Aunt Cass'll chuck a fit about the smell though."

"Let's go to my place," GoGo suggested. "Baymax can get into your house easier anyway."

"Good point," Hiro nodded. "Sure. It's that way, right?"

"Yeah," GoGo nodded. "We should hurry. Before he comes looking."
