The Modern Four

Chapter 41

"No." Mr. Parr said, looking at the three kids in front of him.

"No? Mr. Parr, please. We can find her. We have a plan." Hiro said, practically begging. Mr. Parr rubbed the bridge of his nose, sighing.

"I can't let you kids hurt yourselves doing something like this. You know I want my daughter back. I would trade my life to get my daughter back. But I can't trade the lives of other people..." He sighed, looking down.

"Mr. Parr, we'll be okay. We can do this, we can find her!" Wilbur said, sighing.

Mr. Parr stood up, shaking his head. "I'm sorry kids, the answer is no. I'm not letting you kids do this. Please, go home. Stay safe. I couldn't... I couldn't live with myself if you kids got hurt- or worse- because I said yes."

Hiro sighed, looking at his friends. "He's right, guys. This isn't a good idea. C'mon, let's go home."

Hiro's friends looked at him, confusion evident on their faces. Hiro gave them a look, and they frowned, but began walking out. Mr. Parr sighed. "Thank you for understanding. Stay safe, kids." He said as they walked out the door. As soon as they left, Wilbur gave Hiro a look.

"We're just gonna give up like that? We can't just give up like that! We have to do something, we have to figure this out!" Wilbur said, sounding a bit panicked. Hiro gave him a look and frowned.

"Have you not listened? We are doing something. Just... not the something you think were doing." He said, a slight smile.

Wilbur shook his head. "No, were not! We're just sitting here! We could be saving her right now. We have to be figuring this out." Wilbur sighed, closing his eyes.

Hiro shook his head and glanced back, making sure they were out of earshot of the Parrs. He then turned to his friends, his face serious. "I just bought us two hours. The wings for baymax are in production, they should be done soon. We scan, as soon as they're done, no tests, no time to fail. If we work fast, we can get this figured out. First though, we're gonna need someone who will say that we're with them. Do you guys still have our guides numbers?"

"You mean like Jack and rapunzel? Yeah, I have them all..." Penny said, more than a little confused.

"Call them. Any of them. Probably Jack. Jack would cover for us. Rapunzel would freak. Merida... Maybe Merida would. I don't know about Hiccup, I feel like he'd freak too. Jack or Merida. Jack. Let's call Jack." Hiro decided, looking at his friends, who just blinked.

"Yeah, okay. Let's call Jack... for what, again?" Wilbur asked, confused.

"He's gonna cover for our. If the school would trust us with him, our parents would trust us with him. We call him, then we call our parents. This all rides on him agreeing to our plan."

"Yeah, of course. Our plan. Which is...?" Wilbur said, trying to get his friend to elaborate.

"We're telling our parents that were with Jack for the day. Then, we go save Violet. It'll buy us at least until Mr. Parr calls, all day if he doesn't. We have one day to save her. You in?"
"I'm in." Penny said confidently, looking up. Hiro looked at her and gave her a smile, then turned to Wilbur.

"Is there even a doubt? I'm In." Wilbur stated. Hiro grinned.

Thirty minutes later and the calls were made, the plan starting to gain momentum. Jack agreed to help out, happy to play a part in the finding of Violet. Everyone's parents agreed, figuring that a day with Jack was a good way to get the kids mind off of their missing friend. Hiro had snuck into his room without Aunt Cass noticing. He smuggled baymax out, and activated him by punching Wilbur in the stomach.

"OW!" Wilbur exclaimed, but Penny quickly slapped a hand over his mouth to stop him from shouting anymore. He glared, but said nothing else. Hiro quickly got to work on fitting Baymax with the wings as Baymax ran through his usual activation speech. Penny watched as Hiro climbed onto Baymax's back, and fastened himself to the robot using extra strength magents. She looked at him.

"Be safe up there, okay?" She frowned, bitting her lip. Hiro looked down at her, and hopped off, pulling her in a tight hug.

"I promise I will be." He said, looking at her. She then smiled, and pulled him into a kiss. Her stomach fluttered, this was, after all, her first real kiss. Her first kiss was with Wilbur in kindergarden, but that hardly counted. She pulled away and smiled.

"Now go save our friends." She said. Hiro nodded, smiling stupidly, and climbed on Baymax, flying up to the skies.

"That was gross." Wilbur said. Penny rolled her eyes.

"You're gross." She replied, shoving him lightly.

Hiro flew up, high above the town. "Alright Baymax, I need you to scan, and find a perfect match for Violet. Can you do that for me, buddy?" He asked, looking at the robot.

"I can." Baymax replied, and began his scan. "Scan complete. Match, found. Printing location and information now." From Baymax's stomach, a paper printed out. Hiro quickly snatched it up, holding onto it tightly.

"Violet, here we come." He said, a huge smile on her face.
