Big Hero 6: Callaghan's Return

Chapter 2: No One is Safe

The Big Hero 6 gang was ready for battle, but little did they know that this would be harder than they thought..

"Hey, guys," Hiro said, walking down the stairs into the café. It was kind of early in the morning, 7 or so. Hiro yawned, rubbing his eyes. "What are you guys doing here, and Baymax, why aren't you charging?" He questioned with a little bit of confusion on his face.

"Oh, not much, we just wanted to chat," Honey replied with a fake smile, taking a bite of her breakfast bagel as Aunt Cass passed by.

"But why so earlyyy?" Hiro whined. He hated being woke up early on Saturdays, even if it's to hang out with his friends.

Honey pulled Hiro down into the booth, not very roughly, just so that she could talk more quietly. "Okay, well, we didn't really come just for small talk. We just told Aunt Cass that...But what we really wanted to talk about is what we're gonna do about Callaghan and that other guy. I mean, we don't know how dangerous they could be, especially together..!"

"Yeah," Wasabi pitched in. What if they're a monster? Or, or what if they kidnap us?! Or what if they're a monster AND kidnap us? Or what if-" Wasabi was cut off by something sticky on his face.

It was Fred's cupcake.

"Next time, I'll aim straight for the nose," Gogo said, popping her gum while smirking. She even reached over and threw sprinkles in his hair, what Honey called a 'dazzling finish'.

"I was gonna eat that!" Fred angrily whisper-shouted. He saw Cass walk by again, and stopped her. "Hey Aunt Cass, can I get a different cupcake? I don't like Wasabi flavored ones!" Fred asked, pointing to Wasabi.

"Sure, I'll be right back," Aunt Cass chirped, covering her mouth but failing to hide her giggling. Cass disappeared into the kitchen and the gang began to talk again.

"Okay, you guys, let's get back on track," Hiro said, watching Wasabi wipe frosting off his cheek. "So Honey was talking about how Callaghan and that mystery guy could be-"

"Here you go, Fred. On the house." Aunt Cass set the plate down with fresh cupcake on it as he smiled. Nothing was better than free food - well, with the exception of Big Hero 6 - to Fred. He scooted the plate towards him and covered it with his hands, glaring at Gogo.

"As I was saying... Yes, Callaghan and that other guy could be dangerous-" Hiro was cut off again, but not by the gang this time. A man in a black trench coat, followed by what looked liked Callaghan, wearing his Kabuki mask, zoomed past the window of the booth they were sitting in. They jumped from the sight, and apparently everyone else saw, too, because the whole café began to fill with anxious murmurs. Aunt Cass noticed as well, just before she had walked away.

"Calm down, everyone, it's going to be okay. I'll call the police and tell them what happened." She said in her soothing voice, rushing to the phone for the cops. "Hello, officer? I'm the owner of Lucky Cat Café, and I'd like to report another sighting of Robert Callghan, and a man in a black trench coat. They just ran past my café, down the street." After a moment, the cop replied saying they'll be looking out.

"Hiro, we have to stop this, now. If this gets anymore out of hands, who knows what'll happen next?!" Gogo strictly stated, slapping her hand on the table.

Just then, Callaghan and the other man burst through a window, Callaghan holding a gun and the other man holding five blindfolds.

Wait, five..?

Everyone put their hands up quickly, shaking and scared.

"Give me, the children," the man with the coat deeply said, jerking his head at the gang. "Or this gun's trigger just might slip." He stated sharply, aiming at Aunt Cass.

No one dared to move.

"Never." Aunt Cass bellowed, a look so evil even Hiro was scared of his own aunt.

"Aunt Cass, no! Just let him, we'll- we'll be okay..." Hiro trailed off. He didn't want to say anything else.

Aunt Cass glanced at Hiro for a moment, trying not to break into tears. "Please, I'll do anything.. I'll give you money! You can have the café! Just, don't take these kids..." Aunt Cass pleaded, terrified of what would happen.

"No no, just the kids will do." Callaghan said, hiding his voice with some kind of weird modifier. "You have five minutes, then you come with me." He said.

Hiro could feel Callaghan's burning eyes, glaring at him through that mask..

"Hiro... I can't, first Tadashi, now you...I-I just can't!" Aunt Cass ran to Hiro, hugging him and tearing up as she did.
Hiro returned the hug, closing his eyes.

"Aunt Cass, we'll be fine..." Hiro whispered, smiling reassuringly.

"...O..okay.." Cass said, hesitating. "Just promise me you'll be safe..." She whispered sadly.

Cass said sad goodbyes to Hiro and his friends once more, as no one in the cafè dared to move.

Callaghan and the man walked up to the gang. "Times up." The man said.

"Wait, last hug!" Aunt Cass shakily said while everyone began to group hug.

"Come on, brats," Callaghan growled, beginning to tie the blindfolds, with the other man helping. When they were done, the one in the coat began escorting everyone out the door, as Callaghan followed, still holding the gun ready to shoot.

And with that, they were gone.

A minute passed, and Cass finally spoke.

"I'm sorry, everyone, but the Lucky Cat is closed...For..for a while.." Aunt Cass mumbled as she flipped her sign to 'Closed'. "I'd like to get this window fixed and, and..." She trailed off, looking down at her feet.

"It's alright Cass, we understand.." One of her good customers, that she had known for a while, stood up and walked over. "But, you might want to call the cops." Aunt Cass made a face that basically said 'of course!'.The customer hugged her tightly and left as the rest of the crowd did. She gazed through the glass door, watching people leave in cars, cable cars, buses, and some just walking. As she turned away, she ran to the phone and called the cops again to give a more detailed explanation. And with that, it began to rain...
