It's Like You & Me Against the World (Hiro x Reader)

Chapter 17 - Seeing Things

Your POV

     "Hiro? Why is there a bag of gummy bears in your backpack?" Baymax asked. "Give me it."

     "NOOO!" Hiro hugged his backpack to him protectively. "It's my daily pack."

     "You need to cut down on the sugar."

     "No!"

     "Someone needs to stop that guy," I muttered as I bit into my pastry, glaring at the TV screen. It showed that another fifty grand has been stolen early this morning.

     "Um, that someone is us?" Hiro pointed out sarcastically and setting the backpack out of Baymax's reach.

     I groaned. "Big Hero 6 isn't available at the moment. We need to call in a backup superhero group."

     "Big Hero 7," Baymax corrected me.

     "I'm more familiar with Big Hero 6."

     "Huh, what if he's stealing the money to bail someone out of jail? After all, he did attack the prison before stealing all the money. Maybe that was plan B."

     "But if he has invisible microbots, why doesn't he just sneak into the prison instead of making a scene?"

     "He's probably stupid."

     "But he enhanced your own invention and you can't even figure out how to recreate it."

     Hiro made a face. "Can I punch you?"

     "I didn't say anything like you did, so no."

     "Darn. How can we freaking catch this guy? We've been chasing after him for- dang, a few months already. This is bad."

     "Um, maybe it's because we're not trying hard enough?"

     "A few months, (Y/N). It took us a couple of days to defeat Callaghan."

     "He didn't cause massive destruction though, until the day of the battle. And maybe it's because you wanted revenge. But with this guy, you just need to capture him, but we've all been busy."

     "But for months?"

     "Welll, he wasn't exactly active until after I got accepted into SFITA. We've just seen some of his minions before, probably as test runs or something."

     "Okay, yeah, but still. We can't even track him, so how can we find him?"

     "What if he really is a criminal mastermind?" I asked, wide eyed.

     Hiro stared blankly at me.

     I shrugged. "What? Maybe he's trying to steal something- MAYBE HE IS WORKING ON MINIATURE ROBOTS TO INFILTRATE THE GOVERNMENT AND THAT'S WHY HE'S STEALING ALL THAT MONEY!"

     Shaking his head and waving his hands, Hiro shouted "That is stupid (Y/N). No one in their right mind would do that. Evil super villains in books do, but not living people. You're just creating a villain for yourself. And aren't miniature robots microbots?"

     I pouted at him. "It's not stupid, and yeah, maybe I just thought of a really good super villain to use, but look who's talking. Super villain? You've met one before. Infiltrating the government? It's not that farfetched. After all, you created robots that can move at your will. You don't even know his motive!"

     "Yeah, maybe I don't, but seriously (Y/N). Logic. That is totally crazy."

     "Krei managed to create a portal," I muttered. "And we only thought that was sci-fi. Infiltrating the government is totally normal for those crazy people out there who wants power."
