Chapter 12: How To Become Human

In the memorial stadium of Illinois, a huge commotion was taking place. Thousands of seats were filled to the brim. Citizens and fans alike could be seen with jerseys and signs. Some were covered in face paint, representing their chosen team. Other fans could be seen arguing and getting into fights. The hype was truly phenomenal.

"Blue 42! Blue 42! Set…Hut!" The quarterback roared. The center snapped him the ball. The two teams fought on the line in an attempt to best the other. Eventually, the defense broke past the offensive line. If nothing was done, the quarterback would be tackled and receive some injuries.

The quarterback ran to the side, his gaze scanning for open teammates. He quickly focused on their star receiver, who was a few yards away from the endzone. The football spiraled out of his hands with precision.

The man in question sprinted toward the endzone with two defenders chasing after him. With a leap into the air, he caught the ball with a single outstretched hand. His back landed on the grass. It was an incredible play.

"Touchdown, Blazers!" The announcer commented with excitement.

"YEAAAHHHHH!!!!!"

"Let's GOOOOO!!!!!"

The crowd roared with excitement. Taz stood up with the ball in his hand. His teammates smacked his shoulder pads and helmet as he walked past. With only five seconds left in the fourth quarter, the score was 20-19. This game was over.

In the front row of seats behind the endzone, a group of familiar students could be seen cheering along. Eve, Mark, William, Amber, Kate, and Lexi were there among others.

"Look at him go!" Lexi said.

"Why does he even do this? He's just abusing his strength." Mark complained to Eve. Kate overheard the question as well, being the closest to her.

"I'm pretty sure it's just a hobby. Did you want him to sit at home when he's not doing hero work? Like you?" Eve responded. Mark shrugged in response. Lexi, who's on the other side of Kate, spoke up. She didn't hear the previous conversations.

"Hehe! I think Taz enjoys this. I can't see his expression under the helmet, but he seems so…animated." She commented. Kate smiled in response before leaning over the railing.

"I think it's hot." She exclaimed. William patted her shoulder.

"You and I both, sister." He agreed. The nonchalant heroine raised an eyebrow. After a few moments of awkward silence, Amber spoke up.

"I bet you do. The outfit says it all. Giving him some eye candy?" She joked. Kate smiled seductively while showing off her outfit.

"Maybe. A little motivation doesn't hurt." She spoke sultrily.

The chinese beauty wore a two-piece cheerleader outfit. It was a mix of white and blue. Two blue lines of paint streaked her face. Her smooth stomach was bare to see, allowing her small belly button to glisten. The white and blue skirt would slightly rise up whenever she changed positions. It evoked the instinctual lust in men. On the back of her crop top was the number '13' and Carter, Taz's human last name.

Mark's eyes couldn't help but land on Kate a few times. It was quite the sentiment knowing what lengths the beautiful asian woman would go to for her man. Looking back at Amber, he clicked his tongue in disappointment. The sarcastic, expectant woman didn't have the mindset of catering to her lover. She didn't believe in sticking her neck out for people unless they did the same.

The problem was that there had to be someone to take the leap, and it wasn't going to be her. Amber was constantly upset with Mark for things he could barely control. His new hero side was a massive change in his life. He was still trying to find the balance between it all. A man doesn't need more problems when they return to their place of rest, especially after a long day of work. There wasn't anything wrong with Amber's mindset, but it wasn't one that would tend to keep a man.

The ameteur hero glanced at Eve for a second. He seemed to be weighing his options. Eve noticed his glance and winked. This only further reinforced his viewpoint.

The Memorial Stadium went wild. The cheers were deafening. As the team made their exit off the field, they passed the front row. Kate leaned over the railing even further. Eve quickly stood behind her, using her body to cover the spring scenery that had been revealed.

"Taz Carter!" She screamed. The young viltrumite who was fresh out of the game, looked up to see his lover. Kate gave a twirl before waving both hands. Seeing her outfit, Taz raised an eyebrow. Both of his hands raised in gladiatorial fashion.

"Yeaaaaahh!!!!!" The nearby fans went ballistic from his performative action.

"Come here, stud." Kate mewled while gesturing with her finger.

The elite soldier grasped onto the railing and pulled himself up. His expression couldn't be seen due to the tint of his visor. He truly looked the part of a star player. Taz and Kate were on opposite sides of the railing. With a loving smile, his number one fan gently lifted off his helmet. A twinkle appeared in her eyes upon seeing his face.

The stoic man was known to be a person that didn't smile. Even at this moment, his face was as still as a lake. The difference was that it didn't contain the same coldness as in the past. It was uncaring, but it was much more. It was relaxed. Smug. Complacent. At this very moment, the young viltrumite had no idea the change he was currently undergoing. His time on Earth was slowly changing him.

The chinese beauty made sure to engrave this sight into her brain. She would make sure to never forget this moment. It had become her life's mission to capture every single moment where he made an expression. Kate grasped his chest plate and pulled him close. Their lips pressed against each other, showing the passion between the two.

"Damn…It should be me…" Lexi commented from the side.

She couldn't help but play with her hair as the man she pestered in school everyday got it on with his girl. Eve rolled her eyes.

"Jocks and their pda. So annoying." She exclaimed.

Suddenly, another player jumped onto the railing. As soon as he saw Mark, he flipped him off.

"Nerd! You wish you got that. Amber doesn't give you any? Haha!" He mocked before jumping off. Everyone could immediately tell by his voice that it was Todd. Amber grit her teeth in annoyance. Turning to Taz, she spoke.

"You should get a stronger hold on that leash of his. That puppy dog of yours is getting on my nerves." She ranted. The elite soldier only shrugged.

Unfortunately for Amber, Todd's words hit Mark right in the soul. His expression fell, which went unseen by the group. He couldn't help but glance at her with disdain. His attraction to her seemed to be disappearing.

The chinese beauty finally let go of her man. A cute smile adorned her face. Kate gently ran her finger down Taz's chest.

"Let's get you out of this suit…" She suggested. The stoic hero picked his cheerleader up without a word before running through the exit tunnel.

"There they go." William said. It was obvious what they were up to.

"Damn…" Lexi muttered again.

…

…

…

Hours later Taz could be seen relaxing in his spacious bath tub. The chinese beauty leaned against him, her back resting on his chest. Her apple shaped bottom pressed against his groin. They were connected underwater. Every now and then she would rock her hips back and forth just to tease him.

"Mmm…Taz…I'm hungry." She whined. The nonchalant heroine had become spoiled from his cooking.

"I made some more seafood pasta. Why don't you warm some of that up? The shark meat is gone though." He suggested.

Kate gulped remembering the delicious meal from a while back. After giving another rump, she slowly disconnected from him. Taz gazed upon her beautiful curves as she stood up and left the bathtub. The stoic man then closed his eyes, enjoying the hot water. After a while, a quiet beep sounded from the side.

His wrist guard which lay on the side of the tub was blinking. Taz grabbed it before tapping the flashing light. A holographic screen appeared in front of him. It was a page of writing. The vernacular was of viltrumite origin, making it impossible for anyone else to read the language. After reading the entire document, he focused on the final words.

'Additional Mission Directive: Designate Nearby Planets For Takeover.'

The holographic screen disappeared with a swipe of his finger. After a moment of thought, the elite soldier left the tub. He leisurely grabbed a towel and dried himself off a bit. He then grabbed a bathrobe and left the bedroom. Kate stood in the kitchen, watching the microwave with impatience. She was still completely nude, allowing him to enjoy her spring scenery.

"Come onnn…" She groaned in annoyance. Her dainty feet tapped against the floor in annoyance. The hungry beauty was clearly impatient.

Taz grabbed a bottle of wine from the fridge and poured two glasses. While sipping on his glass, he raised the other to her. Kate snatched the glass and downed it immediately. The young viltrumite raised an eyebrow.

"That's not how you should drink the-"

"Yeah yeah, pour me up." She demanded. Taz shook his head before refilling her glass.

As she downed it again, the stoic hero grabbed her by the waist. Her soft body fell into his embrace. The two enjoyed their intimate contact before the microwave announced its presence.

"Finally!" She exclaimed.

The hungry beauty quickly took her plate and brought it to the counter beside him. Taz didn't wish to bother her and turned to exit the kitchen. While he was leaving, Kate grasped his bathrobe and attempted to pull him back. Of course, he had to allow it to happen with his strength.

His lover took his hands and placed them on her smooth waist. Without saying a word, she dug into her meal. She was eating while standing. The beauty was truly hungry. As she ate, the soldier's mind wandered.

'Nearby planets…Like Mars or something? I should probably just check this galaxy. Over time though. I don't feel like doing it all at once.' He thought.

Once the torturous hunger was gone, Kate finally slowed down. Her head looked directly up to see him looking down at her. A sexy kiss immediately ensued. After pulling back Taz licked his lips. His cute lover raised an eyebrow.

"Can you taste your cooking?" She asked.

"Just like how I made it. Seafood." He responded. Kate giggled.

"Without meat though…So I was thinking…Maybe we can take down some baddies tomorrow? Like a hero date!" She exclaimed. Her face was ripe with excitement. Taz shook his head.

"Unfortunately, I won't be able to." He said. The young viltrumite would be in space. Her energy quickly deflated.

"Oh…Okay." She said. Taz lightly slapped her bubble butt.

SMACK

"Kyahh!" She yelped.

"There's always next time." He said. Kate nodded.

"You know what would make this meal a bit better?" She spoke sultrily.

Taz's hand pressed against her back, bending her over the kitchen counter. Their bodies were still slightly wet from the bath. He instantly lined up with her honey cave.

"Some meat?" He answered before downing the rest of his wine glass.

"Not just any meat. Hard and thick-unnnnnmmmm!" She moaned as he slid inside of her.

The two lovers basked in their union once again.
