“All is quiet…..” Fred says quietly into his communicator.

Nope.

Nope.

Hate that color.

I have my homework plugged into my laptop and tap a button to change the color of the miniature building. It was supposed be like one of the buildings in the city. Actually, it was the same one I didn't finished last year, but now it's almost done.

Of course, I was also multitasking.

“.....For now.” Fred finishes.

Hiro, Honey, and Baymax were on top of the burger joint and Fred was in the manhole on front of the museum. I would know because I had hacked into the cameras to keep watch in the art museum.

“Why are we staking out an art party? What could happen?” Hiro asked through his communicator.

“Everything can happen, Hiro. Museum Galas are the top three favorite supervillain things to interrupt. Right after big parades and experimental weapon demonstrations. Right, Fred?” I say through my goggles communicator.

“Exactly! You just took everything right out of my mouth.” Fred exclaims.

Honey nearly squeals, “This is so exciting. I can't WAIT to see the new Lenore Shimamoto exhibit.”

Lenore Shimamoto? That sounds familiar. Did I do a report on her once? I tap my chin.

“Who or what is a Shimamoto?” Baymax questioned.

“The scientist?” I ask Honey.

“No, she was an amazing artist and kinda my idol.” Honey fangirls.

“Never heard of her.” Fred says truthfully.

“She painted City Rising, the famous masterpiece they're unavailing tonight.” Honey sounded like she wished she could be there to see it.

“Wait a minute.” I remember now! “I did do a report on her for my high school graduation project. Lenore Shimamoto is the artist who was secretly a scientist! I mean, I found out a LOT about her.” I huff, “But then, the next day after it was graded, my teacher said she couldn't find my work. Like it disappeared.”

Hiro adds on his comment, “Did you at least make copies?”

I laugh, “Really? No, I most certainly did not. I mean, it was just some report for my project to graduate. You know, get the heck out of high school.”

“Huh, maybe you just found false information about her. I mean. How can she be a scientist.” Honey chuckles.

Yeah, I knew she was going to say that. All I had on Shimamoto, even proof about what she was up to had been, mostly likely, stolen.

“Or someone stole it, but still. Never heard of her.” Fred says.

Honey hums, “Oh, that's because the painting was lost for like a hundred years.”

“Still never heard of it.”

It's quiet for awhile and I still click on the colors for my miniature model of a building. Finally, Honey continues on about the painting.

“It captures the city's rebirth after the Great Catastrophe of 1906. I'm a huge fan!”

My eyes widen and I chuckle nervously, “Uh…..a huge fan of the painting? Or the Catastrophe?”

Honey gasps in shock, “Not of the Catastrophe! That-that was terrible.” She now gets happy, “Of Shimamoto.”

The camera in the main hall blinks and I click on it to see something globby burst through the window above the museum. “Guys. Something going on inside. Even security is panicking.” You have got to be kidding me. I feel so stupid doing this.
