Chapter 3
"Hiro, I don't think this is the right way," Tadashi said, looking around their surroundings while his hands were gripping his little brother's shoulders.
"Mhmm? No, this is the right way."
When Tadashi looked ahead, he saw a big building. He came to realize what building was that. "What are we doing here? This is your nerd school. The bot fight is on the other way, not here!"
Hiro just rolled his eyes. A smile was plastered on his face. Not even a minute later, Hiro stopped his hover board right in front of another building. Tadashi saw the words "Ito Ishioka Robotics Lab" on a wall before the entrance door. Tadashi was confused.
"I want to grab something before we head to your bot fight. Come on!" Hiro said, taking off his helmet and gestured his brother to follow him. Tadashi looked at him in disbelief.
Now, they were walking inside the building. Tadashi sighed. He didn't even want to be in there. "Is this gonna take long?"
"Relax, you big baby. We'll be in and out. Anyway, you've never seen my lab," Hiro said. Then he opened a blue door and went inside. "Oh, great! I get to see your nerd lab."
"Heads up!" someone shouted. Suddenly, there was a dash of yellow passing in front of him.
"Whoa!" Tadashi yelped in surprise and jumped back a bit. He saw a woman with her yellow bike stopped on her station. She got off and hanged the bike like it weight nothing. She took off the rear wheel, or something like that, examined it for a couple of seconds, then threw it to her back. And the wheel got back to its first position as the woman walked away.
Tadashi looked curious. He walked toward the woman's station as he looked around the lab. He saw some people with their own inventions. He reverted his eyes back to the yellow bike in front of him and passed it from below the bike. He noticed the gap between the rear wheel and its skid. His hand tried to go through the gap and he felt something like a magnet there.
He soon realized what that was, "Wow, electro-mag suspension?"
"Hey!" the woman from before suddenly appeared across to him. Tadashi was surprised. "Who're you?" she asked, sounded like demanding him to answer her.
Tadashi suddenly felt nervous, like a deer caught in the headlight. "Oh, I, um..," he somehow couldn't find the words to answer her. Luckily, Hiro appeared from behind him and put his hand on Tadashi's shoulder. "Gogo, this is my brother, Tadashi," he said as he introduced his brother to the woman.
The woman, Gogo her name was as Hiro said, took of her black helmet. She blew the gum inside her mouth, then popped it. "Welcome to the nerd lab," she said, without giving any expression. She put her helmet on the desk beside her.
"Uh, yeah," Tadashi chuckled nervously, "I've never seen electro-mag suspension on a bike before."
Hiro, who was leaning his back on a cabinet, smiled at his brother. She turned the pedal on her bike, and the rear wheel spin. "Zero resistance, faster bike," she told him as she glanced at him. Suddenly, she took of the rear wheel, "But, not fast enough," then, she threw the wheel to a bin where some other wheels rested. "Yet," she added, walking away from to do her things.
A noise was heard and it drew Tadashi's curiosity. He walked toward the next lab station. Hiro watched him, still leaning on the cabinet. There, Tadashi saw an American-African guy who was installing something to a pole-looking thing. He was wondering what those poles were.
The guy, who saw Tadashi, abruptly stopped him from moving any further toward the poles, "Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, do not move! Behind the line, please!" He pointed at the yellow and black strip on the floor, ushering him to step back. And Tadashi stepped back in confusion.
"Hey, Wasabi, this is my brother, Tadashi," Hiro told the guy. Tadashi raised his brow. Wasabi pulled up his goggle, "Hello, Tadashi. Prepare to be amazed." He pulled down the goggle and walked to get a red apple. He showed Tadashi the apple and threw the apple toward him, "Catch!"
The apple didn't hit him. Instead, the apple was sliced very thinly and falling to the ground slowly. "Wow," Tadashi muttered in amaze. He caught one and he saw how thinly the slice in his hand. He even could see how transparent the slice was!
Wasabi pressed something and green lights appeared between the two poles. He knew immediately what those lights were. "Laser induced plasma?"
"Oh, yeah, with a little magnetic confinement for, uh, ultra precision," Wasabi explained as he fixed a tool's position on his table.
"Wow, how did you find anything in this mess?" Tadashi asked, while his hand took something like a little magnifying glass. Wasabi snatched back his tool from Tadashi's hand and put it back to its position. "Ah! I have a system. There is a place for everything, and everything in its place."
Gogo suddenly appeared and took a wrench from Wasabi's table, making a little mess, "Need this!" Then she walked back to her station with the wrench, in a really high speed. Wasabi was shocked both for Gogo's sudden appearance and the mess she made on his neatly organized table. He ran toward Gogo's stasion and yelled, "Ah! You can't do that! This is anarchy! Society has rules!"
Their eyes following Wasabi. But then, another woman appeared, rolling a really big and round tungsten carbide. "Excuse me! Coming through," she sang as she passed them and kept rolling the tungsten carbide to her station. She stopped and positioned the carbide on something. When the woman saw Hiro, she greeted him, "Hiro!" The woman noticed Tadashi, "Oh my God! You must be Tadashi!" She pulled off her earphones, "I heard so much about you!
The woman gripped his shoulders and planted a kiss on his cheeks. Tadashi was surprised. But he held the urge to wipe his cheeks. He didn't want to seem disrespectful in front of his little brother's friends. So, he kept on getting along.
"Perfect timing! Perfect, timing," she said, pressing a button and the carbide was pulled up. "That's a whole lot of tungsten carbide," Tadashi commented. "Four hundred pounds of it! Come here, come here," she added, then pulled his arm toward a table where some tubes of different chemicals were.
"You're gonna love this!" the woman did something with those chemicals. "A dash of perchloric gas, a snidge of cobalt, a hint of hydrogen peroxide, super-heated to five hundreds celvin, and..," she took out a tube and sprayed the chemical thing to the tungsten carbide and pulled down something behind her, and the pink gas from the tube, which surrounded the carbide earlier, pulled onto it like a magnet. Turning the black carbide into pink. "Tada! It's pretty great, huh?!"
Tadashi didn't know what to say other than, "It's so.., pink."
"Here's the best part," she sang, tip toeing to the pink carbide and gently touched it. The pink carbide exploded. And Tadashi was amazed by it, "Wooow.."
The woman turned around, covered buy pink dust, "I know, right?" She took off her glasses and cleaned it from the pink dust. "Chemical metal embrittlement!"
"Not bad, Honey Lemon," Hiro said.
Now Tadashi felt confused, as well incredulous, "Honey Lemon? Gogo? Wasabi?" he thought how funny their names were. Then Wasabi who happened to hear his question told them in a high voice, "I spilled wasabi on my shirt one time people! One, time!" He seemed a little annoyed as he pushed a door and walked through it.
Hiro and Honey chuckled at their friend's whine. "Fred is the one who comes up with the nicknames," Hiro told Tadashi. Tadashi was confused. He remembered no one named Fred while he was there. So he asked, "Uh, who's Fred?"
"This guy right here!" someone said. Tadashi turned to his left to see no one. And when he turned to his right, he was surprised to see something green with big eyes stood right before him. "Ah, ah, ah! Don't be alarmed. It is just a suit. This is not my real face and body." Fred opened the mouth of his suit to reveal his face and gave his hand to Tadashi. Tadashi shook his hand, with a smile and a brow was raised on his face. "The name's Fred. School mascot by day, but by night," he made a move and spin the board on his hand, "I'm also a school mascot."
"Sooo, what's your major?"
"No, no, no. I'm not a student. But I am a major science enthusiast." Fred walked to a space with a faded purple couch and he sat down. Tadashi followed him. "I've been trying to get Honey to develop a formula that can turn me into a lizard at will. But she says that's not science."
"But it's really not," Honey said, standing beside Fred's couch.
"Yeah. And I guess the shrink ray I asked Wasabi for isn't science either. Is it?"
"Nope," Wasabi answered shortly and crossed his arms. Gogo then joined them, too.
Fred leaned forward, "Well, then. What about 'invisible sandwich'?"
"Tadashi!" Hiro called. Tadashi turned around and saw Hiro gestured to follow him into a room. Then he walked in.
"Imagine eating a sandwich, but everybody just thinks you're crazy," Fred added.
"Just stop," Wasabi told him, looking tired with Fred's imagination.
"Laser eyes?"
"What?"
"Tingly fingers?"
"Never gonna happen."
Tadashi chuckled at this unbelievable conversation and walked to the room where Hiro walked in. He thought how interesting Hiro's friends were. Weird, but funny. He had seen his friends' inventions. Now, he was curious and wondering what his brother had been working on after he joined SFIT. And he would find out soon.

Author's Note: I was re-watching Big Hero 6 when I suddenly remembered this fic and have the urge to update it. I know I shouldn't do this when I have so many homework to do. But oh well, it doesn't matter. I will be on another hiatus after this. Until God knows when. Hopefully, I won't have so many things to do next week. I really want to update ASDG and finish it as soon as possible.
Thank you for the reviews, favs, and follows I got for this story. it boosted up my motivation, really.
And as for the next chapter, can you guess what Hiro will show to Tadashi? Oooh, I'm going to have a little fun with this, lol.
Until next time~
