Later as night fell, Exelirus let out a satisfied burb after having a hearty meal. Daniela having surprised with meal that wasn't the usually sugar packed delicacies he had grown accustomed to in his time on Earth. No, instead of something sweet she cooked meal comprising of mostly beef, chicken, and fish, grilled, smoked, and deep fried, filled with enough fatty, high calorie goodness that would make anyone without a high metabolism die of a heart attack with just one bite.
The taste was something Exelirus was certainly not expecting, salty, chew, greasy, and sweet, also at the same time and on top of that it was extremely filling and satisfying, though the flavor was still not as intense at the food in Kinex, after spending so long on Earth, his taste buds where learning to adapt.
Daniela then let out a burb of her own, far louder than Exelirus's.
"Well, you know what they say. Better in than out" she joked before leaving her seat and putting away the dishes at lightning fast speeds.
"Hey, Exelirus. I know seating around and with face planted on a screen isn't really your thing, which is strange that's all kids do these days but would you mind seating around staring at screen with a movie on the TV", Daniela spoke a pleading face causing Exelirus to simply nodded his head before joining her.
Movies weren't really his thing but he was begin to grow a strange and somewhat alien appreciation of the slow moments of a life, a trait alien to a race hailed for being the fast race in the universe. But after losing literally everything, his family and home, and being giving another chance on Earth with Daniela, Exelirus couldn't help but feel the appeal to living a fast life , racing about at super sonic speeds, diminish. Seeing that some perks to taking a single step at time at a pace that didn't break the sound bearer.
The movie Daniela put wasn't bad, in fact it was something Exelirus enjoyed. Daniela, seeing how much he loved the Captain Cosmic cartoon, decided put a movie based on the show, 'Captain Cosmic and The Global Protectors'. The movie featured not only Captain Cosmic but also the Global Protectors, a team of heroes like The Divine One, an armored hero that had a pair angel like wings, Black Witch, a mystic that uses ancient magic, Hercula, a woman with enough strength in her pinky to outmatch ten men, Mrs. Swift, a speedster that can never seem to stop talking which reminded Exelirus of a certain other speedster he knew of, and finally Mr. Lazarus, leader of the Global heroes, a man blessed with immortality and is said to be the oldest man alive.
The movie was fun, and was centered Captain Cosmic's struggles in trying to protect the planet all by himself from a new threat known as the Illuminates, a fanatic group hell bent on taking over the world to usher in a 'new prosperous era' for humanity and entirety of the human race under their rule. The Captain tries saving the day on his own in end even with the light of Cosmonica shining bright within him, he fails and only manages to save the world after finally allowing the Global Protectors to help.
"I hope you see know that not even you can protect all of this all on your own", a man in shades, toothpick on his mouth, wearing a large black trench coat on top of the roof of a building spoke to the Captain hovering above him.
"I still believe it was reckless taking on such a great threat. Especially with me here", the Captain with his gaze still fixed on the city below.
"That maybe but thanks to our recklessness the Earth is still in one piece and not under control of a bunch of power hungry nut jobs", said the man.
The Captain upon hearing what the man said, let out a tired smiled followed by a slight smile, as he looked down at the city below with a thankful gaze.
"Yes, that it is", said the Captain before turning to the man.
"Perhaps I was wrong in my earlier assessment", the Captain flew closer to the man.
"It's just, I've spent so much of my life watching over you all from afar. Protecting you all from threats that tend far beyond grasp of your world and even yourselves that I began to believe that only I save and defend the world from the evil that constantly threatens it. *Sigh* I see now that believe that was not only wrong but arrogant of me", said the Captain.
"Yeah, it was pretty arrogant of you to refuse our offer but who could blame you. You are the great Captain Cosmic", the man spoke in a cold almost sarcastic tone.
The Captain just smiled before nodding his head before saying, "You humans never cease to amuse and amaze me".
Upon hearing what the Captain said just smiled before nodding his head and reaching in to his picket and brought something out of his hand and tossed it to him which he caught effortlessly thanks to his lightning fast reflexes.
The Captain the looked down at what the man tossed him and saw that it was small badge with the initials 'GP' in graved on it.
"You are tremendous hero kid and you've saved the world more times than I count but at the end of the day, you're just one person. There is only so much you can do on your own, so I'm asking you again, are you in or out", said the man.
The Captain just smiled at him before saying, "I'm in".
"Good, now get flying. There's trouble out in a Kunalia desert. Apparently so lunatic is planning on waking up an ancient monsters that has been sleep for thousands of years", said the man before bring out a grappling gun and then fired a grappling hook up, hitting a jet with 'GP' logo on it hidden in the clouds above them and propelling him up to it greatly stunning the Captain for moment.
"Hey, Captain, hurry up. I don't get all day", Mrs. Swift spoke from within the jet, wearing a red suit with the looking a speeding 'S' at it center.
"Yeah, I'm bored and wanna try out this spell that turns people in chicken on some bad guys", Black Witch, wearing black and red suit with a wrapper with strange symbols tied around her waist and an eager smile that the Captain couldn't help but find disturbing.
Hercula spotting him from within the jet, just raised her hands shyly at him with a slight blush on her face, were a sleeveless suit and a pair of steel bracelets on her arms.
"Come Captain, adventure awaits", the Divine One, flying beside the jet, clad in his sliver armor, spoke with warm smile on his face.
"Well Captain. What are you waiting for?" Mr. Lazarus, the man in shads spoke out from within the jet with smirk on his face
The Captain just smiled before taking to the skies with thunderous boom with the jet right beside him.
The credits then began rolling in, signaling the end of the movie.
