Restless Nights - Big Hero Six SI-OC

CHAPTER TWO: PROGRAM VOID

  Val's plan was pretty simple.

 Build an army of dragons that obeyed her every word to ride them around the city and save people.

 ...

 ...this is what she meant with "self-indulgent".

 But in her defense she died, and she doesn't owe the people of the city anything. So if she wants to build her own dragons, then she's building her own dragons, dammit. And no one is gonna stop her.

 Except maybe DreamWorks. She's building the dragons from HTTYD, after all.

 Or she would be building them, if they existed.

 The idea to be a dragon rider hero first occurred to her when she was eight.

 Her mom decided it would be a good idea to have a movie family night, and once they were all settled her dad chose a movie about dragons. The movie was good, but all Val could think about while watching it were the HTTYD movies. She made a joke to her parents about how much more efficient the police would be if they were riding dragons, and just for a moment, she considers it: Being a dragon rider.

 Then she laughed because that was a ridiculous idea and continued to watch the movie, her mind drifting back to Hiccup's introduction to Berk again and again.

 Once her parents went to bed, she got out her phone and searched for HTTYD, thinking of asking her mom if they could watch it next movie night.

 And she found nothing.

 No Cressida Cowell, no Hiccup, no Toothless.

 No Berk.

 There was no information about them at all.

 This made her take her idea of becoming a dragon rider ten times more seriously.

 It also made her write down everything she remembered about the franchise and do an intensive search of all her other childhood shows, just in case they disappeared too.

 But the important thing was, she had discovered one excellent way she could go about being a hero. And god, was she excited.

 Val took her Dragon Rider ideals and put them in a notebook with all her other plans, writing a red 3 next to the page's title. It was one of her most promising ideas, and she would make sure it was developed as such. Her interest in it did not bulge until she had her whole "what's-my-goal" crisis, where she had to reconsider every single plan she had and how it would affect the world, her life, and the world's views on her.

 Now Val isn't paranoid. She's just...cautious.

 ...okay so she was paranoid. But in her defense, she died an unexpected, tragic death and was reborned into a movie. Paranoia was justified.

 Anyways.

 After a thorough read of all her plans, Val was left exhausted. Most of her plans were heavily based on the idea that she would be the one to take Callaghan down, followed by Obake and all the other show villains, if they were to appear. But now that the time of the movie was closer, Val realized that those plans were unrealistic.

 She didn't want to carry the movie's problems on her shoulders, and it's not like she needed to -since they would be solved anyways-, or like she could. She was a teen. She wanted to enjoy this. She was in the universe of Big Hero Six, where everything, technology wise, was possible. Saving people wasn't a job she absolutely had to do, it was a chance that she was gonna take because before, the possibility to do it was inexistent. Heroes didn't exist in her world, so she was gonna take the chance to help out here in the way no one helped back home. She wasn't forced to do all the work, so she was free to do it as she pleased.
