Chapter One: Overseer
Membrane's eyes snapped open all of a sudden, he realized he was grabbing fistfuls of the sheets a bit too tightly and quickly let go, he tried to control his ragged breathing, not being able to completely wash away the dreadful sensation of being observed…he deadpanned at his own thoughts, someone…watching him? Watching professor Membrane!? Why would anyone want to do such a thing? It wasn't as if his life was THAT interesting…at least not in his house, maybe in his labs…but definitely not in his house. Or at least that's what Membrane thought…anyhow, he got off the bed and headed for the bathroom, he wanted to take a shower quickly and try the shake off that horrible sensation…
Through the bathroom's window he could see it was a cold, drizzly morning, there were a lot of puddles in the street; maybe it'd been raining the whole night…
Membrane got to the labs complex relatively fast that morning, he felt like he was being followed and he couldn't say he was THAT fond of the idea or the sensation altogether…Membrane walked down the corridors quickly, greeting some fellow scientists as he passed by, he took the elevator, pushing the button for the 7th floor frantically until it began to go up and he was so thankful that he was completely alone inside it…otherwise he would've had to explain something he couldn't fully understand himself…and that in itself, made him a little wary…
When the elevator's doors opened…
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!! Wait! Son?? What are you doing here?? Shouldn't you be in class??"
Membrane begun to walk away from the corner he'd pressed himself into, slowly calming down and trying to look at least upset at Dib for missing school…but it came out as a completely pitiful failure…Dib sighed…shaking his head…
"Dad…it's Saturday…"
Membrane's eye twitched behind his goggles…
"Then why are you here son? I trust it doesn't have anything to do with you little foreign friend??"
Dib rolled his eyes, it had been funny how his father addressed Zim the first time, but now it was only boring and somewhat offending, he walked past Membrane and into the elevator…
"Yes…it does have to do with Zim dad…"
Membrane shook his head lightly, in disappointment, as he always did; apparently Dib wasn't seeing the gleam of REAL SCIENCE anytime soon…
"I won't disturb you any longer then…"
The elevator's doors closed and Membrane walked quickly to his personal lab, far in the back of that floor…when he was safely inside, he finally said it:
"My poor insane son…"
A voice in the back of his mind seemed to whisper…
'Is he really the insane one right now?'
Membrane shuddered at the idea, losing his mind one of his most profound fears…when his mind descended from its paranoid high, he set himself to work, getting near to the work table and pulling down some tools, and very vaguely, he wondered what could Dib have been doing in the labs compound after all?
But as soon as it begun, he stopped that train of thought, knowing he wouldn't like the answer…at all…
Reddish eyes watched intently as the tall human walked from one side to the other of the inferior earthly lab, a claw-like finger twirled and played with an antenna and the serpentine tongue licked the thin lips rather slowly…soon, very soon…now that he thought about it, the fact that the human was taller made him all the more attractive and it made a vicious grin spread through the green features of his overseer…

So, should I continue this...pointless rambling??
