It's been so long since I've read this, please let me know if there are any inconsistencies.


Hiro stares at the diagrams on his holographic map. Colors interlacing each other showing their path. He was still trying to decide if he should use the sewage accesses to get in and out of the lab since it would be safer than trying to fly all the time.

Marking a path with a long pen in black he looks to Baymax, "Why can't this rout be used? It's a straight shot and the entrance is just down the street."

The robot takes a moment before pointing to several spots, a holographic wall being placed in each spot, "These areas are blocked from passage, either by bars, walls or a collapsed ceilings."

Nodding he takes that in. It looked like along the route he had chosen, there was a wall of bars and a collapsed ceiling.

"Alright, we need a pathway through the collapsed ceiling part and we can just make it so the part will swing open for us. No big deal." Flicking them away from the map, he makes a mental note to get that done.

Looking down at his watch he clicks a pen with his thumb, "They should be at the docks within the hour." He had given them a call and received no answer from any of them, which means the power of suggestion was strong.

Standing he grabs his suit and puts it on, he might end up changing a few things about it soon but for now it was fine. Jumping into Baymax he quickly sends his aunt a text. "Going out with friends for a bit. See you for lunch!"

"Ok Baymax, Let's go to the super entrance and see if we can get there from here."

Their trip isn't long, it takes less than a few minutes before they arrive at their meeting spot after traveling through a series of sewers. Looking around he notices his team hanging around one of the less popular docking areas.

"There you guys are." He waves to them.

Honey Lemon approaches him first, "Good morning Hiro! It's good to see you."

She smiles brightly at him and he tips his head to see her headband is on. Perfect.

"I'm doing alright. Let's get this over with. Everyone follow me."

They walk obediently, doing as he asked of them. Walking back to the sewer entrance he hops in, and one after the other then all climb down.

"Suit up. I found a safer way for us to travel, but we need to clear a few things."

The group of friends quickly put on their gear, most of them just went around a corner for privacy except for Fred, who just climbed into his.

Waiting patiently he leans against the wall, he had the plans up on his visor. He was going to have Wasabi go to the metal bars and make a door for them to use and he was going to have Honey melt a hole in the barricade. Then he was going to have Gogo run the whole stretch of it and track how long it takes her and average that out to how they normally run. Timing is key after all.

Once they all stand in front of him he relays these exact orders to them. Handing Wasabi a drill and a few screws to make the door. They work quickly and effectively.

Crawling through the newly made hole he turns on a flash light and examines the path.

"This might not be as safe as I was hoping."

Gogo leans down next to him, "What's wrong?"

Leaning back so she can see he speaks, "It's damp. Meaning that water has been slowly leaking in from the ocean into this passageway and they didn't use concrete to seal it. This could have been a huge hazard."

Honey speaks next, "And it's not now?"

"Oh, it's a problem now but it won't be. Do you have enough supplies to make concrete?" He glances at the girl.

She nods, "I can make at least ten balls of just concrete but after that I'll need a refill of some of the chemicals."

Hiro smiles at her, "Perfect. You go ahead and make those. Gogo, I'm going to have you disperse them through this pathway and then use your gear to smooth it out. I know it'll slow you down but as long as it doesn't harden we can get it off."

The skater nods, "Ok, one problem with that plan of yours. Concrete takes ages to harden in the sun. Down here it's wet and dark. It will take forever for it to work."

Hiro puts out a hand, "You're right. That's why I'm going to have Fred use his fire to harden it all. Besides, it's only a temporary solution until I can find a more permanent idea."

Gogo takes the balls that were given to her and looks at the tunnel, "Hope this works."

He waves her off and she shoots down the dark tunnel, the glow of her shoulder flashlight dimming as she goes.

Turning to the rest of his team he pulls the new headbands he had made from his belt, "I need to change out your headbands. The old ones are hurting you."

Fred takes off his monster mask, "Do we take them off now?"

Hiro lifts the ones he made for them, "Give me a second. I'm going to turn off the old ones and put these ones on. Fred sit down."

Fred flops onto his behind and waits patiently.

"Honey, I'm going to need you to bend over for me."

She leans down to his level.

With a sigh, he pulls out the switch when a thought comes to mind, if he presses it then Gogo and Wasabi will be turned off too. Groaning he puts it away.

"Wait. I can't do this till later. Dang it. Never mind you two, we'll do it when we get to the base."

They both nod their consent and stand back up to wait. Hopefully they would be back before long.

"Hey dude, so I was thinking. We should have a team name." Fred's voice fills the space.

Hiro looks at him confused, "What?"

The taller male smiles wide, "Oh yeah, like a superhero team name! You know, when people see us together they'll yell 'Look! It's theā€¦..' I haven't come up with one yet but it would be totally awesome!"

Honey laughs next to them, "A team name huh. It sounds like fun! What do you think Hiro?"

The smaller boy scratches the back of his head, that wasn't really in the plans but it wouldn't hurt to entertain them.

"I guess you could think of one and I'll let you know if I approve."

They both cheer before talking animatedly about what their team name should be. He.. he should really just let them go. He could do this alone with Baymax, he didn't NEED to have them here to help him. Wasabi soon joins them and is right on top with thinking up a team name. They had their own lives, he can't just destroy theirs.

Rubbing his temples he sees Gogo climb out of the hole, dirty but safe.

"Well, I stretched it as thin as I dare down this thing. Let's hope it's enough. Fred, light it up!"

Said teen looks ecstatic as he throws the head back on and jumps to the entrance, making a huge show of getting ready before using his fire breath to heat up the small space.

They leave him to it as he stands in the opening for a minute before stopping, checking to see if it's dry and walking in to continue the job.

Leaning back he listens as his team contemplated a name. They have a point, they would need some sort of name but not like this. Once this is over he's going to let them go. They can keep their gear but he's going to follow a different path than they are.

He's staring at the wall when Fred's voice rings in his ear, "Ok, I'm done. This tunnel is super long though. I'm going to race to the end."

Gogo who has been cleaning cement off of her gear smiles, "Let's see if you can beat me with a head start." Before facing down the tunnel.

Hiro smiles as they go, yeah. He can't keep them any longer than his next stage.
