A Helping Hand (Hiro X Reader)

Chapter 16--Battle

"They probably gave us a bit too much privacy," Hiro joked.

You shook your head and laughed before taking his hand. "Come on. Baymax needs you."

The two of you ran outside the chamber, where you saw all of the prisoners attempting to free themselves from their cells.

"We heard!" you heard one of them cry. "Callaghan's gone! We need to fight him before it's too late."

You nodded. "Hang on!"

You levitated a boulder quickly and thrust it to each and every cell, breaking the doors altogether, and the prisoners cheered.

"Thank you!" they cried.

You nodded, relieved that they didn't recognize you as one of their past prisoners. "Come on. The fight is outside. We need to get a hold of Callaghan before it's too late."

You and Hiro then lead the prisoners outside, where you saw flames and spinning discs and chemical bombs exploding and flying ninja stars and a couple ropes lashing out here and there from a distance. It seemed to them that everyone got on the mainland, back at San Fransokyo.

"Good. They got this covered," Hiro nodded. "Where's Trudy?"

You pointed to the fenced off Quarantine area, where you saw Aunt Cass and Mr. Lacitier look over Trudy's shaking form.

"Good," Hiro repeated. "Now we need to get the police involved again."

You nodded as you took out your cell phone and dialed 911, placing the phone by your ear as you motioned Hiro, Mr. Lacitier, Aunt Cass, and Trudy to follow you as you levitated a huge boulder with one hand.

"San Fransokyo Police Department, Officer Gerson speaking. How may I help you?" a lazy male voice asked.

"Sir, I have taken sight of the criminal Robert Callaghan," you reported, focusing on levitating the boulder as high as you could to get Baymax's attention. "He is currently sighted by the Golden Gate Bridge, currently in an attempt to destroy most of Big Hero 6 and a couple of the 'deceased'." You unfortunately didn't have enough hands to do air quotes, but it didn't matter.

"Where are you now?" he asked.

"I am currently on an abandoned island," you said. "Um, it's the same one where Alistair Krei's Silent Sparrow project failed, a couple years back...or was it just a couple months back..."

"I got it," Officer Gerson confirmed, and you heard a faint smile in his voice. "I'll bring the police over to the Golden Gate Bridge right now. We will be there shortly. In the meanwhile, try and find a way to get yourself off the island. It's not safe."

"Understood, sir. Thank you."

You hung up and sighed a breath of relief as Baymax rocketed over to you with breakneck speed, and you thrust the boulder into the water as he landed.

"Great timing, Baymax!" Hiro cried. He then helped you up on Baymax, wrapping an arm around you. "Come on!"

Baymax flew off to the bridge and dropped you both off there before getting the other prisoners, Aunt Cass, Mr. Lacitier, and Trudy off the island, making several trips over. It didn't seem like there was a lot to do for you and Hiro, because by then everyone seemed to have Callaghan covered. They were all regaining strength, which was good, since they seem to need it desperately anyway. Somehow, the mask was plucked right off, and Callaghan was forced to resort to throwing the microbots at everyone, which bounced off of them harmlessly.

Just as Tadashi delivered another ninja star, you heard police sirens off in the distance, and everyone stopped. Gogo retrieved her disk with a reluctant SCHWING! and Melanie allowed her rope to retract.

The police all got out, one by one, and picked up the microbots as they approached Callaghan and the rest of the group.

"Are you guys okay?" the police asked the group, who nodded.

"Tell me what happened," one of the officers said.

So you all told your story, being careful not to leave anything out.

"So who's got the mask now?" the police officer asked.

Gisele held it up from behind her back. "It's here, sir."

"Thank you," the police said curtly, taking the mask from her hand with a nod.

"Interesting," he said softly, looking it over. "Whose invention was this?"

"Mine, sir," Hiro said, raising a hand.

"You are...Hiro Hamada, correct?"

"Indeed," Hiro confirmed.

The officers took note of that and was about to continue onward before taking a second glance at Gisele and Tadashi, eyes widened.

"Weren't you two supposed to be dead?" the officer asked them quietly. "We had your death certificates filled out..."

"We will discuss that matter later," Tadashi promised.

The police nodded and continued interrogating, before finally approaching Callaghan and Trudy and slapping the handcuffs on them.

"Thank you for everything once more, Big Hero 6...and company," the police said in unison, bowing. "We are once again indebted to you and your service."

The group nodded quietly as they took the arrested away again, driving off. However, the police officer who interrogated you pointed at you, Hiro, Melanie, Gisele, Tadashi, Aunt Cass, and Mr. Lacitier.

"We have some matters to discuss with you," he told you sternly. He then gestured for you to get inside the police car. "We are heading to the station now for further interrogation."

You nodded as you faced the rest of the group, including Baymax. "Make sure he gets out of his armour safely," you said. "And bring the prisoners home."

"We can handle it," Fred promised, and Honey Lemon nodded.

"Hope everything goes okay over there," Honey Lemon smiled, and you grinned back.

"I'll see you soon," you promised, heading into the police car, squishing between Hiro and Melanie in the back seats.

As the car drove away, you looked at Hiro as he took his helmet off, and you did the same.

"Well. Seems like my speech was for nothing," you said flatly.

"No it wasn't," Hiro murmured, taking off his gloves and caressing your cheek. "Be glad you're still here. I would be destroyed without you."

"I'll say the same," you whispered back before leaning in and kissing him quietly, softly, but with some hint of intensity. Nothing else mattered to you in that moment. You were alive, and you were safe with Hiro by your side.

This is not the end of the book yet, but it's kind of getting there. I think this is one of my longest chapters, whoops, sorry about that, I guess. But ahh well. I hope you enjoyed this.
