The Lonely and The Brave

Chapter 9 - Fear -

Hiro was still rambling on about robotics and anything else he could think of since Kira was still crying just a little bit. He had figured out that by his own rambling on and on about whatever would seem distracting off of her sister's death, she relaxed more easily. He also thought it might have been the movement he was doing with his fingers, just running them up and down her arm, watching as she focused on them. After Tadashi's funeral and when she had comforted him, her movement had been what put him to sleep, so he decided to try to do the same, despite the fact that the man was still out their using his microbots. Kira had stayed completely silent, occasionally watching him trace her scars. She didn't mind though, the movement he was doing gave her something to focus on, and it was calming her down.

"...I... I'm okay now..." She mumbled slightly, slowly standing up.

"Okay," Hiro replied.

"...Hiro... Will you eat now?"

He stared at her for a moment before letting out a sigh.

"I guess..."

Her face brightened as he walked over to his face and Baymax popped up out of his charging station.

"Fully charged," he said, walking over to them.

"Welcome back, Baymax," Kira replied, smiling at him, "You're okay now?"

"Correct."

"Good."

Hiro took a couple of bites of his food before looking down at the microbot. It was moving once again.

"He's using the microbots again..." He muttered angrily, "We've got to put a stop to this."

"How?" Kira asked, looking over at him, "We're two 14 year olds, and all we have to fight is a nurse robot."

He thought for a moment, looking at Baymax, then at the microbot before an enthusiastic grin spread across his face.

"You can't be seriously thinking of using Baymax to fight, are you?"

"Yup."

'How did this happen...?' Kira thought bitterly as she followed Hiro. One moment they were in Hiro's room, the next they were in garage while Hiro made Baymax some "armor", and now they were running to the warehouse with Baymax bouncing behind them. Hiro had made Baymax another chip that was programmed with fighting moves, but left the one his brother made for Baymax. Soon, they arrived at the warehouse doors.

"Kick it down, Baymax," Hiro commanded.

With one swift movement, Baymax had kicked open the doors of the warehouse, but to Hiro's disappointment, found nothing in it.

"What...?"

"How could he have already taken all of them somewhere...?" Kira wondered, "Hey, check on the microbot we have."

Hiro reached into his pocket and pulled out the microbot. It was hitting against the side again.

"Come on, guys. We're gonna go find this guy."

"Hiro," Kira said as she and Baymax followed Hiro, "Are you sure that Baymax will be able to handle this guy?"

"I've upgraded him pretty well," he replied as they took a turn, "He can take him."

"If you say so..."

Hiro started to pick up his speed, trying to follow the microbot. Kira tried to match his pace, but was stayed a bit behind him. He was about to fall off into the ocean when Baymax grabbed him by his hoodie.
