Movie Night
"I still can't believe you were able to convince everyone." Bride stated as she watched Nina rolled a TV in the center of the room as Bride carried their couch by herself.
"It's not that unbelievable," Nina responded, happily plugging the cords into the TV, "like I said in group therapy, an activity as a group helps the members become closer. I really wish you would come to therapy, you might benefit from it."
"I don't do therapy, also, how did you convince Waller to allow a movie night in our cell?" Waller was prideful and stubborn.
"Flagg helped."
"Of course he did....." While Bride did roll her eyes, she couldn't help but smile at how excited Nina was. Technically, this would be Nina's first time doing something with friends, which was the only reason Bride agreed, "So what movie did you choose?"
Nina went quiet and blushed fiercely as she held up her choice: Disney's 1989 The Little Mermaid. Bride almost snorted at Nina's choice, of course she would choose something like that.
"Please don't laugh....." Nina asked, obviously embarrassed.
"I swear.....I swear I'm not laughing at you." Bride struggled to say between laughs, "I just figured that would've been the type of movie you would choose. Here's mine."
The Bride showed her choice of movie: 1985 Return of the Living Dead.
"Huh, I kinda figured movies that involved the undead would offend you." Nina confessed.
"Not this one, it's so good and yet so stupid at the same time." Bride explains, "Besides, who doesn't love a good zombie flick?"
Nina supposed that makes sense. She soon heard a knock on the door, the others are here!
Nina opened the door to show......Rick Flagg and Khalis.
"Flagg?" Bride didn't expect Flagg to be a movie guy.
"What? I like movies as much as the next guy." Flagg states as he brings our hos movie: 1988 Die Hard.
"What an original choice." Bride said sarcastically.
"Don't dis Bruce Willis." Flagg responds.
"What about you, Khalis?" Nina asked
"Nina, he's thousands of years old, I seriously doubt-" Bride stopped when she saw Khalis bring out his movie: 1999 The Mummy, "Well I'll be double damned. Never would've guessed 'that' be your favorite movie."
"I enjoy it, despite the inaccuracies." Khalis explains. Soon, Doctor Phophserus comes in with not just a movie, but several water bottles, but ones not filled with clear water.....
"Uuuh, Phosphorus, what's all that?" Nina asked, hoping there's nothing dangerous in them.
"Alcohol of course!" Phophserus responds, "Can't have a party without alcohol!"
He then sees Flagg, "Ah fuck....."
"Chill out, Skeletor, I'm off duty." Flagg assures.
"Oh, well in that case here's my movie!" Phophserus brings put his movie: 1986 The Fly.
"Oh, relate much?" Bride asked in a snarky tone, which Phophserus responded by flipping her off. Weasel followed in after, Nina figures he wouldn't bring a movie, not really sentient enough to pick one.
When Nina heard clanking behind her, she smiled when she saw G.I.Robot.
"Hey G.I.!" Nina said, happy to see her friend.
"Hello, friend Nina! G.I.Robot is excited for movie night, and G.I. picked his favorite!" While everyone else found it weird that a robot had a favorite.....well, anything, Nina seemed glad.
"Oh, that's great, what did you bring?" Nina looked as G.I. brought out his movie: 2009 Inglorious Basterds. Nina simply chuckles, "Of course! A WW2 movie about killing Nazi's. "
"G.I.Robot's favorite pastime!" G.I.Robot states. Their mechanical friend was soon followed by massive footsteps caused by Solomon Grundy.
"Grundy! So happy your here!" Nina said, evident of hers and Grundy's growing friendship, "What did you pick for your movie?"
Grundy gave Nina a distant, lost gaze, not unusual for Grundy.
"Grundy forget to bring movie" The undead behemoth confesses.
"Well, that's alright, we can all.still enjoy all the movies we already have." Nina assures her towering friend. As Grundy walks in, the team’s newest member and resident science expert comes in, an albino gorilla with an oversized brain, the Ultra Humanite, "Humanite! I'm glad you decided to join us!"
Since Humanite is the team’s most recent addition, he wasn't as close to the others. However, Nina seemed to be the one closets to Humanite since he helped her with her collage courses.
"Indeed, my dear, as am I. I apologize for being late, but my Éclairs took longer than I calculated because of the difficulty in gathering ingredients." Nina notices the plastic container in Humanite's hands, "Where can I put this?"
"Oh, you can put them with the alcohol that Phophserus brought on the coffee table." Nina pointed over to the alcohol filled water bottles. Humanite groaned.
"Alcohol, how quaint....." Humanite said sarcastically.
"Whatever, freak of science," Phophserus responds, "we can't all be model prisoners and make fancy food. Now what movie you'd bring?"
Though Humanite was still new and wouldn't understand the humor among the team fully, he and Phophserus got along, possibly due to their backgrounds as fellow scientists. Humanite shrugged and took out his movie: 2009 Christmas Carol.
"No way, never figured you for a Disney fan!" Phophserus states, which makes Humanite roll his eyes.
"I can confess, before they focused too much on profit rather than artistic expression, Disney definitely made many masterpieces. But I choose this for two reasons: one, I'm a sucker for Charles Dickens, and two, it's actually the closest to the original book."
"Alright! Everyone is here and we have about.......7 movies to watch! All we need to do now is decides which movie should be first!" Nina announced with more excitement than anyone has ever seen from her.
Bride decided to take charge and make everyone remember this was Nina's idea.
"Since you're the one who came up with movie night, we'll watch yours first." Bride turned to see if anyone disagreed......not a single one did.
"Really? You guys don't mind!?" Nina asked, as if she was a little girl again, finally hanging out with friends.
"Like Bride said, your idea, yours goes first." Flagg states.
"No arguments here." Phophserus adds.
"Grundy like Disney...." Direct and simple, just Grundy's style.
*Animal noises* Everyone agreed that meant yes from Weasel.
"It may not be about sending Nazi's to Hell, but that motion picture makes friend Nina happy, which G.I.Robot enjoys seeing!" Seriously, is he actually just a robot, or is he really sentient?
"No complaints from me, you Khalis?" Humanite asked the ancient mummy, the two have actually formed an unusual friendship, possibly due to them being the members who use their knowledge more than brute force.
"Certainly not...." Khalis says, Bride could swear Nina was about to burst with happiness.
-three movies later-
"G.I.Robot always enjoys seeing Hitler die in various ways in different media!" G.I. states as his movie ended, everyone was definitely having a good time.
Honestly, Bride wasn't really paying any attention as Phophserus put his movie in. She was enjoying how Nina was resting her head against Bride's shoulder, which the Bride then wrapped her arm around Nina.
Bride was definitely thankful Nina got comfortable enough to take off her helmet. The damn thing was cute on her, but Bride liked the closeness they could enjoy.
Flagg groaned as he rubbed his eyes and then reached into his pocket.
"Probably gonna regret this, but....." Flagg brings out......a joint!
"No fucking way!" Phophserus says with excitement, "Didn't think you had that, figured you for a regular boy scout."
"Hey, it helped take the edge off life when I was in the military." Flagg confesses as he attempts to light the joint with his lighter......only for the damn thing to not work, "Fuck.....yo Phophserus, a light."
"Fuck yeah!" Phophserus snapped his fingers and his index finger had a small fire going. As soon as the joint got lit, Flagg took a long drag out of it, before letting out a large cloud of smoke from his mouth.
He then handed Phophserus the joint, who took an even longer drag. The only ones who haven't tried it after everyone got a turn was G.I.Robot since he didn't have any lungs, Weasel who Bride was shaking a rolled up newspaper and telling him to not piss on their bed, and finally Nina, who has never tried pot before.
After her drag, Bride held the joint to Nina.
"Remember, you don't have to if ya don't want to...." She didn't want to pressure her girlfriend.
"No....I want to try it.....how exactly do I.....ya'know......smoke it?" Nina asked, trying to not act nervous for trying Marijuana for the first time.
"Just place the nonlit end in your mouth and inhale," Phophserus instructs, "Just......don't swallow the smoke."
Nina held the joint in the hand , looked at it before swallowing a lump in her throat.......until she finally put the joint in her mouth and......inhaled......for a little longer than she should before she started coughing violently, Bride patting her back until she calms down.
Cough cough "Why do people......smoke this?" Nina did not like the taste.
"Just wait, the stuff should take effect in a few minutes." Bride explained, "Only remember, ya gonna start tripping tripping."
-Two movies later-
"Is she alright?" Flagg asked as he noticed Nina seemed lost and confused.
"Nina?" Bride asked Nina, who seemed to be quietly panicking, making Bride chuckle somewhat, "Guess your having a bad first time, huh?"
"Where am I? Didn't I get up and leave-"
"Whoa, whoa, whoa, slow down and breath," Bride instructed, "Everything will be alright."
"Grundy feels just fine...." Grundy commented.
"That's because you don't have a brain that Marijuana could effect." Humanite explained, which instead of Grundy getting mad, Grundy simply laughed.
-Last Movie-
Flagg groaned as he stretched.
"Alright, we all need to....." Before Flagg could finish, he noticed that everyone except Humanite and Khalis were sleeping.
Weasel was curled up on the bed, Grundy was laying flat on the ground and snoring, Phosphorus simply had his head hanging over the couch and snoring just as loudly with a bottle that was a third filled, Bride and Nina were laying with their backs to eachother.
"Best we take our leave." Humanite suggested.
"Indeed." Khalis agreed.
Flagg simply smiled as he quietly left the cell with Humanite and Khalis.
"Hope Nina enjoyed her first time hanging out with friends." Flagg whispered.
"Besides her near freak out on trying Marijuana for the first time, I'd say she had a wonderful time." Humanite responds.
"The child truly deserves such fun." Khalis agreed as the three exited the cell.
