So, I said I wouldn't leave you hanging. Here is the next chapter.


"The hell..." GoGo grumbled; she realised immediately that her hands were bound and she was on the floor in a darkened space. Her head hurt. "Hayai, wheels for the 'bots!" She remembered then what had happened before whatever led her to here, there were spots and gaps but she'd come into part of the stock-house...

It had been Shun, it had to have been, unless he had an accomplice and he lied? GoGo sat up, a little quickly.

"Ow..." She couldn't check what she was sure was a wound because of the cable ties holding her hands behind her back. Fortunately a familiar click and whirr began behind her and the lights flickered on. Despite the pain and nausea, the slight dizziness and heap of frustration, GoGo smiled. Shun, the idiot, had locked her in a storeroom with the First Aid kit, a kit accompanied by a robotic healthcare assistant.

"Hello. I am Medmax, your personal first aid assistant. On a scale of one to ten, how would you rate your pain?" The puffy white robot was virtually identical to Baymax but Hiro and Krei had decided on different names for the various deployments the units had.

"About a four, but it felt worse when I sat up." GoGo said, there was no use arguing or resisting. Medmax units gave first aid and called ambulances, nothing else even if they were still high level medics.

"Scanning." There was a pause and GoGo avoided moving around too much, her head really was swimming. "Diagnosis: Cranial Laceration, Concussion, Sub-dermal Contusions. Treatment at a hospital is required. An ambulance has been requested." The first aid units always notified the authorities, so someone would arrive to let her out and she could at least tell the police her suspicions about Shun.

"Medmax. Can you call my emergency contact?" GoGo leaned against a shelf unit and, using it as leverage, turned herself around to face the robot. She knew it was company practice to link their Medmax units to the personnel files and her emergency contact would need to know about Shun, let alone her impending admission to the ER.

"Patient Ethel Tanaka: Calling emergency contact." The Medmax didn't read out any of the information from the file, confidentiality and data protection laws applied after all.

Hiro was working in his personal lab at Krei Tech, there was a little hiccup on a new project that none of the R&D boys and girls could kick out so he was taking a stab at it. "Incoming Call from: Medmax Unit MifuneRacing-06." His phone chirruped on the desktop.

"What! GoGo's job! Answer it, on screen." Hiro dropped what he was doing and focused on the screen in front of him. The picture came up, showing a bowed head with a purple streak in the hair. The high-definition camera had picked up a worrying tackyness to her hair in places. GoGo was leant against a shelving unit and he could see her hands were behind her back. "Go?"

"Hiro, not much time, ambulance coming... Shun Oiler is Hayai, or works with them." GoGo looked up at the screen and Hiro tried to keep a calm face. Even over the camera he could see her eyes were unfocused, the way she held herself barely upright, it spoke of a serious injury. It was blood on her head, it couldn't be anything else.

"GoGo, what's happened? An ambulance? I can see you're hurt." Hiro wanted to keep her talking.

GoGo chuckled dryly, of course wonder boy would be full of questions but her mind was like treacle right now and the throb at the back of her head was making it harder to focus. "Got wanged on the back of the head by that jerk Shun... Orange wheels y'see. Orange wheels, 'n' they should've been grey." She trailed off, sleepy. Sleep looked like a great idea, her head lolled.

"No GoGo, keep talking. Come on." Hiro's voice was coming from the robot, not Baymax but nearly the same. "You haven't told me why you called me."

"'mergency contact genius. These things, robot things... only call emergency connact." She couldn't lift her head but leaning on the shelf unit meant she could look up at the screen and see Hiro.

"Hey, keep awake Go', keep talking. Should I read anything into my being your emergency contact hmm? You had to have set that up when you started at Mifune." Back in his office Hiro was having Baymax track the ambulance on route to Mifune Racing and it was taking so long and GoGo was getting worse so they had to talk. Maybe teasing her would rile her up enough to stay awake.

"'ro, did anyone ever tell you, you have wonderful eyes?" She smiled and sat back, slipping a little, unintentionally knocking her head again. She winced and gasped, slipping further and really not feeling like pushing herself back up.

Hiro was about to flip out when finally the door opened and a pair of paramedics followed by a security team entered, captured on the camera of the Medmax unit. "Finally! She's pretty out of it and I'm stuck on a phone not being able to help!" Hiro shouted. Someone cut the ties holding her arms and legs together. As the professionals worked, he could hear their usual words to a patient in the background. A stern looking police officer appeared in the screen, blocking the view.

"Officer Rin." He introduced himself. "Are you the young lady's emergency contact?"

"Yes, that's why you're talking to me through a Medmax. She said some guy called Shun Oiler might've done this and can you tell me please where they're taking her because this is freaking me out!" Hiro was pacing his lab now.

"City Hospital is nearest and the best. The medics are calling to airlift this one. We'll get looking for the assailant now, thank you for that information." Officer Rin moved aside as he looked behind. The medics were wheeling GoGo out on a gurney. "She's in good hands son. City Hospital alright? Someone will also be along to take a statement." The call closed just as the video showed the door shut behind the paramedics.

"Baymax!" Hiro yelled as he rushed about to leave. "Call the others, I've got to get to City Hospital." He didn't hang around to hear the reply, trusting his friend to call. Dropping the labcoat he was wearing on a hook and grabbing his street jacket. "Ellie, if anyone wants me I'm gone. My girlfriend is in hospital." He called to a lab technician and ran from the R&D room.

With speed that would have certainly impressed GoGo, Hiro reached the hospital and parked up. He ran into the reception in the ER department and found someone to speak to. "Help, my Go'- Ethel Takana, she should have been brought in..." This section was the walk-in area but the kindly receptionist was well used to panicked friends and relatives searching.

"I'll get you moved along to someone who can help." She patted his hand. "Just take a seat, emergency admissions are processed nearby." She picked up a phone.

Hiro sat; trying not to focus on the fact GoGo was hurt or that he had nearly said. "My GoGo." He looked at the walk-in clinic as a distraction.

Since he and Krei had launched the Baymax units nation-wide there were never many walk-in admissions. Most of those who would have gone in the past were now treated fully by a friendly white robot. He nervously took in the room, still hoping the receptionist could give him more information soon. A kid with something glued to his head and arm was sat with his parent, there was someone with a swelling black eye and some people who looked fine who must have accompanied others. Not enough of a distraction to stop his imagination racing to the worst conclusions.

"Sir?" The receptionist was back.

"Yes!" Hiro jumped up.

"Miss Tanaka is with the doctor now. Family can go through to the waiting area." Her words gave Hiro pause. Family. Well, he and Aunt Cass were mostly GoGo's family now; her dad and step-mother were working overseas. He was her boyfriend, that counted as family. He walked through the door that the receptionist had pointed out.

It was like on television the other side of the door. Doctors and nurses moving around with equipment and professional expression, patients being wheeled around on beds, gurneys or wheelchairs and there was noise. Lots of noise. An orderly stopped beside Hiro. "Who're you with?" It was a considerate tone at least.

"Ethel Tanaka. She was brought in from Mifune Racing?" Hiro tried to keep his voice steady, this was overwhelming. At least when there were team injuries in uniform they had SHIELD facilities and staff or Baymax at HQ. This was his first time in a situation like this as a civilian.

"If you want to sit just here." The man was kindly and led Hiro to an area of seats in an alcove, with his bald head and plain scrubs he was like a human Baymax. "Someone will speak to you shortly."

The seats were comfortable enough but Hiro was on edge, GoGo had been in a bad way from what he knew about injuries. The little alcove was only for patients family so there wasn't any conversation to be had. Hiro's phone rang. Aunt Cass was calling. "Aunt Cass! GoGo is in hospital."

"I know Hiro, Baymax called me. City Hospital right?"

"Yeah." Hiro felt his lip jumping and tears gather.

"Sweetie, sit tight and I'll be there as soon as I can." Aunt Cass said.

"Okay." He wanted to say more, wanted to have comforting words but someone was stood over him now. "I've got to hang up. See you soon." He put his phone away and looked up.

"You are here with Miss Tanaka, mister?" The staff person had a tablet computer in her hand.

"Hiro, Hiro Hamada. I'm her boyfriend, her emergency contact." Hiro could hear his voice shaking. Never mind that this was the first time he had referred to his relationship with GoGo to someone outside of his immediate group.

"I see, it is in the information the police shared." The woman tapped some things on the screen. "You can come through, the police want to speak with you later."

"I know. Please, is she okay?" Hiro stood to follow the woman through the emergency room and down a corridor.

"A nasty bump to the head that had a cut which needed sealing. There will be some bruising later. She's under observation for the concussion." They halted at a door. "She was very lucky, a hit like that could have been a lot worse." The doctor, he could see from her name tag, depressed the handle and opened the door. It was a small private room and GoGo was on the bed, sleeping possibly. She still had her work clothes on, but someone had removed her jacket and shoes at least. "We' may need to keep her in overnight, can you contact someone or collect clothes?"

"Yeah, yeah I can. " Hiro was struck again by how small GoGo really was, when she was up and active she had such vibrancy and fierce attitude that she seemed twice her size. Her eyes opened slightly and she smiled a little at Hiro, it looked slightly loopy from whatever they had been treating her with.

"After an injury like that, shock is a real risk. If you see any signs let us know quickly." The doctor explained calmly. She had recognised him name and knew he would have a fair knowledge of many medical procedures. "I don't have to remind you about the bed sensors?"

"I've got to keep from resetting them, yeah. I did design these things." Hiro took the seat next to the bed. "Is that all?"

"Indeed. If anything begins to look bad or concern you, hit the call button and someone will be with you." The doctor turned to leave but paused a moment in the door. "Your innovations saved her Mister Hamada."

Hiro covered GoGo's hand with his. "They're mostly my brothers, but thanks. I think she was glad of the Medmax too." The doctor left them alone then. Hiro sat in silence, stroking the back of her hand with his thumb. "Looks like the date is off tonight then hmm?"

"Di'n't mean to get hit on the head." GoGo grumbled. "Hurt without a helmet. Long time since I hit m' head without a helmet."

"Yeah." Hiro threaded his fingers with hers. "What were you doing? You said Shun was Hayai and something about wheels." He left off the comment about his eyes.

"Shun is, he stole my wheels." GoGo started to sit up but stopped and put her free hand to her head. "Ow."

"Hey. You don't need to tough it out." Hiro tapped the back of her hand. "You are actually in the hospital."

"I'm fine, just lifting my head isn't fun." GoGo sounded more her usual self. In her eyes she looked ready to kill, no longer dizzy, but there was some tiredness in the way.

"What happened then?" Hiro asked. "Work is supposed to be safer than missions."

"I got curious when I saw some little out of place robot. It ended up leading through to a store room with a hidden side of re-painting my wheels orange." GoGo lifted her free hand to rub her forehead, she sensed some movement and Hiro's hand took the place of hers. It was nicely cool and comforting, she hummed gratefully.

"So, Shun was getting your wheels in work and painting them orange." Hiro swapped hands to make his position less awkward.

"He also said he was Hayai." GoGo sighed. "He wanted to discredit me so I would get fired and he could have my job."

"You said he was a jerk, you never said he was that bad of a jerk." Hiro looked at the dark eyes peering from below his hand.

"I thought he was skeezy, not criminal. Why I was whacked on the head I suppose. Won't happen again. I think someone else was there with him." GoGo freed her hand and started to push herself up gently, it was hurting her head less now. "But he hated that I got the job over him and didn't realise I am Yellow 6... Poking my nose in was a bad idea."

"Hey, you're a natural born hero type Go'." Hiro smiled, "So you went and did some investigating. If you didn't do that sort of thing, you wouldn't be GoGo." He was feeling a lot more relaxed now that GoGo was up and talking. His phone buzzed.

*Julia has put out a search of Shun Oiler. I'm on my way to the hospital.* He read aloud. Aunt Cass had contacted the others, Honey had sent this text.

"We'll get the creep." GoGo said. She was about to say more certain terms when the door opened and an orderly appeared.

"Miss Tanaka, we have some visitors. Are you alright to have them here?" He pointed to the doorway. Fred, Cass and Baymax all waved.

"Its cool." GoGo waved back.

Once she might have claimed she didn't have a family. It clearly wasn't true any more.


Fluff I guess. Nothing much to post note-wise.

-Oiler is what a baddie in Speed Racer is called. So Shun Oiler sounded okay.

And that's your lot!
