Finding Hiro

And So It Begins

Hiro laughed as his dad gave a yawn.

"Getting tired, old man?" He responded as he shoved gummy bears on top of his yogurt.

"Hardly, just trying to understand how my son can eat that many gummy bears? And it's quite a boring topic." Giving him a shove the two headed to a table. His dad pulled out a few papers to read through and as usual. They're bonding day always ended this way, frozen yogurt and the two looking at an old design. After handing Hiro a blueprint, Robert started eating some of his yogurt before it melted.

"Dad, I really think you should tell these people to invest in a better stabilizer, and if you could hound them about this wiring overheating, there's a chance they'll actually chance of it holding." He looked up to his dad who gave him a sincere smile. "What?"

"Just admiring my genius son." His dad's attention turned to the tv that hung on the wall of the parlour, following his gaze he saw the news feed.

"Team of Heroes save the day again" Hiro couldn't help but admire the heroes in the city, they had shown up about 2 years ago and started saving the day, the first big thing that caught the attention of the media was when they stop the Fujitas from kidnapping the Mayor. Ever since then Hiro wished he could be one of them. He could never understand if his dad hated them or not but when ever he would asked the topic was quickly changed.

Hiro was pulled from his thoughts when his phone began to vibrate. quickly retrieving it from his pocket, he nearly fell out of his seat when he read the text.

"Something good?" His dad grinned at him.

"Stan, just messaged me, apparently someone dropped out last minute at tonight's Bot fights and Yama will give me the spot, if I want it..." He stopped, today was his and his dad's day, his dad was always busy since he was a professor and since Hiro graduate school early he had nothing to do during the day. Suddenly torn between going and staying, his dad decided for him. Picking up his papers and organized them back in his bag.

"Phone charged?" He nodded. "Remember if you hear the sirens, run." Grinning, he hugged his dad.

"Your the best dad ever!" Looking up at his dad, just before he raced out the door. He feels a yank on his hood. Turning back he sees his dad holding out as little bit of money.

"I'm pretty sure, you need money to play. " With one more quick embrace he stuffed the money into his backpack and ran out the door.

"This is your fault." Hiro sighed as he looked at Stan, the few teens and himself had been placed in a separate cell to the adults. Usually Hiro and Stan could out run the cops but Hiro failed to realize just how much bigger Stan was after trying to squeeze through a old fence. He never really had loyalty to Stan but he was his hype man and told him about the latest Bot fights so it would have been a bad idea to leave him behind.

"Dude, relax, your probably gonna be out sooner than any of us." They heard the jingling of keys and both turned towards the cell door. "See."

"Alright come on, your parents are here." As everyone began to leave the cop stopped Hiro, finally everyone passed by him and the cell is closed again. "Sorry kid," he said with a sincere look. " Your folks ain't here yet." Stan looked to him.

"Want my mom..."

"Nay, my dad's probably just letting it go a little longer to have a, What have we learn? moment with me later. Trust me I'll be out soon."

Hiro regretted those words as the night rolled on, his dad would come, of course he was just taking his time. Finally at some point he fell asleep.
