~~The picture isn't really relevant to the story, but I found it cute.~~

Hiro was once again wiping the floor with his opponent's robot. It was fun to watch them underestimate him, and get shocked when he won. This one, however, was mad and pushed him to a wall while his henchman surrounded him. He immediately decided it was high time to leave.

"Hey fellas, let's talk about this," he said nervously as they got closer. All of a sudden a moped came and stopped in front of him.

"Hiro get on!" his brother commanded.

"Tadashi! Perfect timing!" he exclaimed and climbed on.

His brother quickly put a helmet on him and they sped off. Hiro turned around and saw that his robot was coming closer, so he picked it up once it was close enough to the moped. He could tell Tadashi was angry just by the tone of his voice, but getting hit also helped him figure it out.

"You graduate high school at 13 and this is what you decide to do with your life?! Bot fighting is illegal!" Tadashi exclaimed.

"Bot fighting isn't illegal, betting on bot fighting, that- that's illegal," he corrected and chuckled,"but so lucrative! I'm on a roll big brother and there is nothing stopping me!"

"Looking back on it, I might have jinxed myself," Hiro thought as he waved nervously to his brother from the jail cell he was in.

After Aunt Cass picked them up and frantically ranted about being an inadequate guardian Hiro mauled over what Tadashi told him. Was bot fighting really what he wanted to do for the rest of his life? Tadashi had had enough and decided to take his brother to his college. He showed him that there is so much potential he could unlock by going to college, even if he felt that he had already learned everything it could offer.

Tadashi took Hiro to his "nerd lab" as Hiro called it and introduced him to his friends and Baymax. Then, just as they were leaving they ran into Professor Callaghan who made Hiro want to attend San Fransokyo I.T. Hiro had worked really hard and was finally going to show everyone is microbots. His friends gave him some advice before going ahead to place the microbots where he had told them. He was about to walk towards the stage when he heard bird calls.

"Coo Coo! Coo Coo!" something said from behind a curtain. Hiro turned in the direction of the noise, but quickly looked at his brother when he heard his name being called.

"I'm going to go get Aunt Cass, don't worry, you've got this," Tadashi reassured him before leaving. Hiro smiled and turned to where the noise had come from.

"I'm just nervous," he concluded and chuckled to himself before he heard the noise again. This time he walked over and pulled the curtain and saw a boy around his age with black hair in a cowlick hairstyle, brown eyes, and weird clothes. The boy looked taken aback before he pulled him behind the curtain and closed it again.

"What do you think you're doing?" Hiro asked him before the boy shushed him.

"The name is Wilbur, I'm here to help you," the boy explained.

"Help me? With what? And why does your name sound familiar?" Hiro asked.

"That's a need to know basis. I'm looking for Professor Callaghan, do you know where he is?" Wilbur asked him.

"He should be walking around and judging the booths, why?" Hiro asked.

"That's confidential. Just know that he is not a guy you should trust," Wilbur explained vaguely.

"And how do I know I can trust you?" Hiro asked with his arms crossed. Wilbur opened his mouth and then quickly closed it.

"Touché," Wilbur said before pushing Hiro out from behind the curtains as his name was called to go next.
