Field Test
Tadashi looked around a bit nervous as he was carried by Baymax, Hiro atop of the robot's back grinning down at his brother.
"Aw don't tell me you're scared."
"Never!"
They stopped atop of the Crimson Gate bridge as Tadashi looked down. It was hard to believe months ago he was looking UP at the bridge wondering what it would be like atop it.
Now he was there, in armor designed to protect him and help him fight and finding himself wondering if this was a good idea.
Hiro had printed up the rocket boots he needed and now it was the big test.
"No going back. We're not going home til you're flying!"
And there's the ultimatum.
Tadashi sighed looking to his brother. "I die for real this time I am coming back to haunt you."
"Yeah, yeah…" Hiro shook his head. "Just try it!"
"Alright…" Tadashi took a deep breath before leaping off, sensors in the boots going off as the rockets propelled him forward. "WHOA!"
Hiro laughed as he and Baymax chased after him to keep up. "Awesome right!?"
Tadashi wobbled as he pulled up trying to keep balanced. It was terrifying, it was horrifying…
And yet it was also very…. VERY satisfying. "WHOOO! THIS IS AWESOME!" He cheered as he propelled through the air doing a few turns. He got the hang of it quickly.
"I know right!?" Hiro grinned.
Before long they were dipping and diving all around the bay, soaring through the air.
Eventually they came to rest on one of the wind turbines, Hiro sitting against his brother due to the lack of space.
"Hey Hiro…?"
"Yeah?" He asked as he took off his helmet letting the wind hit his face.
Tadashi hugged him, keeping him close. "Thanks for everything…"
Hiro smiled shaking his head. "You'd have done the same for me…"
"Doesn't make me any less proud of you… Or grateful…" Tadashi murmured resting his chin atop Hiro's head. "I love you kiddo…"
"Love you too Nerd King."
"Nerd Prince."
They chuckled as Hiro leaned back into his brother's embrace. "So I take it you like the suit?" He asked watching the planes that flew overhead. Huh didn't know cropdusters still flew over these parts-Was that a corsair? Huh…
"Like it? Hiro this is AMAZING!" Tadashi exclaimed gesturing to the armor. "Look at this!"
"Heh… Well you're like a knight in shining armor… Always wanting to do the right thing… It matched." Hiro chuckled smiling. "Glad you like it…"
"I love it…" Tadashi hugged him again before they both stood up Hiro replacing his helmet. "This is all so-so...So…"
"Sick?" Baymax cut in glancing at his creator.
Tadashi blinked.
"It is just an expression."
"Well you're right! This is sick!"
Hiro grinned climbing back onto the nursebot's back. "Race ya back to the cafe."
Tadashi smirked starting up his rockets. "Your on!"
They took off in a dead sprint across town, the boys laughing the entire way.
I wanted to help a lot of people…
I'm gonna get to do that now.
