Is it just the two of you?

[ he can't imagine that it's just the two of them. ]

No. GG and F and WS too.

Why didn't you tell me?

We thought you'd be upset? That we were going out superheroing with your little brother?

[ That would probably work better if you didn't somehow manage to sound unsure over text, Honey.

Come on, girl, you can do this. You don't even have to look at him when you lie to him! ]

Please tell me this is a really elaborate joke. Please. Baymax is a nursebot and Hiro is fourteen and Wasabi is afraid of heights. We're students!

It is! You're right! Totally elaborate prank all for you, haha, you got us!

Okay, right, so that answer was somehow even less believable than the idea that you're all crime fighters for some reason.

Look, it--

Now your turn. If I tell you why, you have to promise not to tell Hiro you know.

Are you guys okay? Tell me that first.

We're fine. We are, it's... honestly, it's fun. I think it's the most WS's let loose in YEARS.

This is so confusing.

Yeah. So that's what we were working on. H made us all superhero gear from the stuff we were working on. GG is SO FAST.

[ Maybe she can use his confusion to distract him from asking questions that she can't answer. ]

But why would he want

Is it the danger? I didn't stop the bot fighting soon enough, did I?

No! No, it's not like that.

[ But now she's not sure how to reassure him without spilling too much... ugh, this is awful. ]

There were some things about the fire, there were signs it might not have been an accident. H wanted to find who did it. We all did. That's what started it.

[ Well, it's not entirely a lie... ]

What? Who would have set the building on fire? That doesn't make any sense.

[ but none of this does, exactly. ]

Did Professor Callaghan see something?

[ FUCK. ]

It's all very confusing, yeah.

But you guys are really okay? Seriously? Be honest with me, Honey Lemon. All of you, not just him.

Nobody's gotten seriously hurt, we have really good gear. H is really good at that, did you know?

[ Please don't see right through her completely transparent attempt to not answer the question you're actually asking.... ]

[ wow, um, he doesn't know how to respond to this. he starts and stops probably a half dozen times, before: ]

That's not what I asked and you know it. I guess... other than what happened to me, are you guys alright? I know it's not fair of me to ask. And I know it might not be easy to answer, and I'm sorry, but I need to know.

[ There is a long pause, while Honey tries to figure out how she wants to say this ]

There were a lot of things we weren't expecting. Not all of them good, or easy. But everyone's working through it, I think. More or less.

Okay. I think I really, really needed to hear that.

Thanks.

Sorry I'm being awful and evasive. I just

I just really don't like to talk about it.

Then why do you do it?

[ he thinks she's just talking about. fighting crime. ]

Do what?

[ And now she's just confused ]

The whole crime fighting... thing. If you don't like it, then why...?
