GoGo is watching Hiro work, Honey too busy tweaking chemicals in her lab to pay any attention to her. The kid was sketching in a notebook - not just jumbles of circuitry either but the jagged lines of faces.

GoGo can make out the face of Tadashi from shaky lines and circles.

The pencil line of the scar tears into the paper a little bit.

GoGo leans over him, snatching the book, and snapping her bubblegum as she flipped through the pages. In the beginning are designs of his battle bot - the one he always carried with him. Then it devolves into sketches of Tadashi, Honey, Fred, a woman she doesn't recognize also makes constant reappearances and other strangers are sporadically shown.

There's even a quick flurry of pencil strokes and purple marker that she makes out as herself.

"Hey!"

She looks at him out the side of her eyes and tosses the book back to him.

He scrambles to catch it but it lands on the floor, sliding in front of Tadashi's feet.

It's open to one of the newer sketches - a man GoGo has never seen before.

Tadashi's face twists and he looks almost upset, almost enraged. He silently picks up the book and rips out the page, getting up to throw it away.

GoGo narrows her eyes at him. He's been keeping watch on her and it was pissing her off.

"Tadashi!" Honey Lemon sings, "I need help moving this!"

Tadashi's eye flickers from Hiro to GoGo to Honey Lemon who's bursting through the double doors trying to roll two, large metal balls in at the same time.

Then he nods and silently gets up to help, giving GoGo one last glare.

GoGo huffs and sinks stubbornly into the rolly chair she occupied. However, her expression softens when she looks at Hiro.

He's looking despondently at his sketchbook.

GoGo gets up.


Hiro picks his notebook up solemnly. Inside the pages he recorded things through little notes and drawings.

Inside he keeps a record of those he's killed.

A piece of wrinkled paper is laid out in front of him.

He blinks and looks up.

GoGo is sitting back on her chair but out of the corner of her eyes she's looking at him with a small smirk. Carefully, like its an egg about to be hatched he picks the paper up.

He was blown, fingers shaking at this small gesture.

Staring back up at him was the man he had killed in cold blood. His heart thumped as he looks back at GoGo. She would have had to got it out of the trash.

Hiro felt much more innocent then he had in years.


Sitting on the back of Tadashi's moped, arms wrapped around his big brother he whispers earnestly and innocently, "I like GoGo. She reminds me of Aunt Cass."

Tadashi doesn't reply.


Tadashi is sitting with Honey Lemon in the Chem lab, Hiro asleep in his lap. Although GoGo seems to be constantly hanging around the lab she is currently at work. Glancing at one of Honey Lemon's kawaii clocks he scowls slightly. It's almost, one in the morning, what kind of job does she have?

Honey Lemon is flitting about, tweaking the chemical amounts for samples and typing out the data on her fox cased phone.

She's worrying her lip and glancing at Tadashi, who pretends not to notice, instead acting as if focused completely on Hiro.

Which isn't entirely false.

Finally Honey hunched over nervously and asks, "Sooo, what do you think of GoGo?"

Tadashi blinks and looks at her.

"I don't like her," he says earnestly.

Honey kind of deflates and she looks down at her nails.

Tadashi feels slightly uncomfortable at her sadness so he elaborates, "She's too close to Hiro."

Honey giggles, "Oh! You're just jealous!"

Tadashi twitches slightly at that.

"You don't have to worry! GoGo is only into girls!"

Honey smiles fondly at her best friend, "Besides, it's good for Hiro to have friends."

Tadashi averts his gaze.

He doesn't agree.


GoGo's coasting down alleyways for potential targets, alone for the first time in awhile. She missed Honey's presence like she was missing one of her blades or if she was without her skates, but unlike her the girl had deadlines.

Suddenly she stops. A head of messy hair and the shape of a certain robot catches her attention.

"Hiro?"

The figure whirls - face stunned and scared.

"GoGo?"

His fingers curl tighter around his robot like he's worried she'll take it away from.

Absently she thinks about her dual swords still hidden in her backpack.

"C'mon," she says instead, "You hungry?"


Wasabi's sushi bar was the cleanest place restaurant in downtown San Fransokyo. The chairs were kept in perfect spatial distance for the small space, the tables the perfect size with dishes and condiments neatly arranged.

Hiro looked around the place, studying the perfectly angled photos hanging on the walls.

"Yo Wasabi," GoGo calls to the large man behind the counter as she falls into one of the chairs, kicking her feet up.

"What - GoGo - you can't just do that!" GoGo pops a bubble at him making her point clear that yes she can just do that.

The man groans internally and Hiro gets the impression that he's screaming on the inside.

Hiro walks up and peaks at the neatly made sushi.

"Whoa, who's this?" Wasabi asks, leaning over Hiro to eye him suspiciously.

"One Honey's friends," GoGo states simply, twirling her finger on the display case, "He's fun, a bot fighter."

Wasabi raises a brow ignoring her fingerprints on the glass.

GoGo snaps her gum, "His names Hiro."

Wasabi smiles friendly at Hiro, "Well hello, Hiro."

Hiro looks up wide eyes at the man.

"You hungry?"

Hiro nods hesitantly.

He picks apart the crunchy tuna roll eyes rolling into the back of his head as the sriracha hits his tongue and melds with the other flavors.

"You like?" Wasabi asks.

Hiro nods, cheeks stuffed and plate half empty.

GoGo laughs, gum stuck on the side of her plate - much to the chagrin of the owner.

Wasabi gives a laugh and settles neatly in a chair.

Suddenly the door pops open, the little bells chiming.

Wasabi stiffens, hand going to the gun he keeps under his jacket. He'd rather not use it, it made a terrible mess, but the man who came in looks like trouble. And that's saying something considering his best friend is GoGo Tomago.

The man with a jagged scar and medical patch stands in the threshold, eye on Hiro.

GoGo huffs, glowering at him.

Seeing her the man's face twists in that almost, not quite, rage of his, and his fists tighten like he wants to bash her skull in.

GoGo is not afraid, her dual swords are in her backpack.

"Tadashi," Hiro says.

Wasabi looks between them, "You know him little man?"

Hiro looks down at his plate, "I'm eating Nii-chan."

Tadashi stays by the door for a beat then makes his way to Hiro, pulling up a seat to sit beside him while also trying to position himself away from the others.

It's tense. Wasabi is unsure of what to do. GoGo is glaring daggers. Tadashi is not speaking. Hiro is still.

Then suddenly Hiro laughs a very unfunny laugh. He grabs Tadashi's hand.

"Thanks for the sushi!" He shouts overly loud and bowing to Wasabi and GoGo.

They leave.


GoGo growls at Tadashi's retreating side once the door closes.

"He gets on my nerves," she bites out, cramming a piece of sushi into her mouth, rice crumbs dripping from her lips and sticking on her chin.

Wasabi grimaces at her display and grabs Hiro's plate to go wash it.
