Chapter 5 - Her dismay

"Are you nervous?" Jason hit Luna lightly on the shoulder. She was rubbing her palms from getting cold. "no, I am not" Luna defended. Standing and presenting in front of people wasn't actually her thing. She had always kept a low profile in school.

" your irregular eyes movement and drop in body temperature clearly indicates nervousness and uncertainty. Would you like a hug?" Baymax extended his arms. Luna smiled and hit the fluffy vinyl of Baymax

"You can do it, Luna. Just breath." Hiro said.

His friends nodded in agreement.

"Next presentor, Luna vielle" the lady in the mic called out. "okok quick selfie." Honey lemon pulled everyone together and lifted up her cat covered phone. "Everybody say Luna"

"Luna!" Everyone sang. "We love you! You can do this!"

"Science man"

"alright. This is your stage now." Jason hit her arm lightly.

"Do you think I can do it?" Luna rubbed her palms in uncertainity looked longingly at her brother.

"Hey, you might have been an introvert. But I know you are gonna rock" Jason boosted. Luna smiled and climbed on to the stage. In the spotlight.

Many pairs of eyes of curiousity bored into her. Gulping, she spoke out, "Hi, my name is Lun-Luna vielle." She stammered. Few eyes looked mockingly. Her pulse beat rapidly.

In the crowd, Hiro signalled her to breath. She took a breath and lifted her chin up.

"i am gonna show you something really cool. Probably that will blows you off." She continued. She pulled out a circular disk, that remembled a magnet.

"This is microcare". People drifted away and eyes that bored her now turned confusingly.

"It does look like a magnet which we used to play with. But this is not it" she placed the disc in her left chest. The disc glowed green and recorded her pulse of her heart.

"Have you ever wondered, why don't people get immediate medical care? Or something to help in emergency situations. This microcare can take care of you every second." She held her breath on purpose, the microcare beeped red. "your oxygen levels are dropping low. I suggest you take deep calming breath" and she took calm breath and the red microcare turned green.

"Not only that, it detects the emotional changes too. Also resistant to water, fire and also bulletproof. Besides, it is environment friendly. Watch this" she smiled and clicked a different button and her normal jacket and jeans turned into something new. A party gown.

"gallons of water wasted to produce clothes can be reduced by use of this microcare. All you need to do is click. And microcare is on!" She finished.

The crowd clapped at the amazing tech that could revolunise the world. She got down and was picked up by none other that Jason himself." let me down, I am a big girl" she squealed. And others joined in hugging and shaking hands with her.

"That was amazing. Its a super tech." Hiro shook hands with Luna.

"Excuse me, gentle woman." A yound lady with a sutied man following behind stopped in front of the squealing group. Luna and her friends quited down.

"I am Liv amora. CEO of sycorax. I belive your invention could change everything. Would you like to talk about the deal?" She offered.

"no don't listen to her. I would offer you much more money than her" a young decent looking man interrupted her. "Mr. Krei, it's a clear bioproject. Please let me handle this" Liv amora crossed her arms.

"um sorry to interrupt. I am really sorry to say that they are not for sale" Luna smiled nervously.

"what?" Liv groaned in disbelief.

"yes, its a amateur project and I am planning on working on it so... I am sorry" Luna apologised.

"Poor girl. Don't feel shy to drop by Sycorax, our gates are always open. Come on Chris. Our job here is done." Liv left with her assistant.

"i thought you would make a good choice. Wait, aren't you an employee at my company!" Krei pointed at Jason.

"Yes sir. The newly transferred from Las Vegas" Jason said.

"Excellent. I heard you have potential.i want results" he said and left.

"Oh my gosh. You were so cool up there. It was nostalgic" Aunt Cass hugged Luna.

"Nostalgic?"

"It was like seeing Hiro when he presented at the showcase last year." Aunt Cass pulled a hair behind her ear.

"Lets feed those hungry brains. Dinner is on me!" Aunt Cass squealed and pointed to herself.

"Nothing is better than free food." Fred joyed.

"Aunt Cass, Me and Luna will catch up later." Jason excused himself and pulled Luna away from the crowd to a more less crowded place.

Granville approached Luna, "Your invention is revolutionary. It proves your hardwork and focus. I wish to see you at school tomorrow" she handed her an envelope.

Luna smiled widely at what she achieved. Her mind drifted to that one person who always cheered her to make more,Mark. Jason and Granville talked about matters that Luna didn't care to listen.

All of a sudden, the fire alarm alerted the whole crowd in the building. Jason, Luna and Granville ran toward the entrance. Fire was spreading faster. When they entered the hall, there was fire all over and around the hall. Big hero 6 had made a exit made of ice and the crowd slided out safely out of the building.

They ran toward the exit. "Look out" Granville pulled Luna just back in time before a big plank fell right before them. They have nowhere to escape.

"I got an idea" Luna activated her Microcare. Water gushed out of her hands. Granville was amazed. "the channels in microcare absorbs the water moisture in the air and condensed it to form water."

After the fire was cleared, they ran again. Panting, Luna ran and the exit was in their vision. She looked back to find how far the fire is but she froze when she saw a familiar figure in the midst of the fire.

A short young boy with black hair and the crooked smile and can't forget the cute dimple. He was so vividly standing in the midst of the fire. None other then Mark himself.

He was smiling sadly and waved at Luna. Luna's lungs forgot to grasp air. Her eyes watered. Jason who was running toward the exit noticed Luna wasn't following anymore. His pulse exalted when he saw Luna froze in the spot and fire was surrounding her.

Jason charged toward her and pulled her before fire caught her. In time, they made out.

"Are you crazy? You could have died?" Jason shouted as soon as he escaped with Luna in his arms. Luna's eyes was wide and her eyes didn't focus on what he was saying. His voice was indistinct.

Luna came back to reality when Jason shook her shoulders. "What is wrong with you?"

Luna 's eyes snapped. She looked back at the building on fire. Her nerves acted and she ran towards it. But Jason was fast enough to grab her.

"What are you doing?" Jason asked.

"I saw Mark. Mark is in there. I have to save him. Atleast this time" Luna eyes pleaded.
