A/N: Hiya everyone! I haven't been feeling all too hot lately. I went to the hospital today where they did some rather uncomfortable tests on me but I'm back home resting now. Anyways the tests were uncomfortable because I hate being touched by ANYONE, which means, I no likey when the doc has to touch me for tests, I argued sarcastically so much that they actually had two other nurses come in and hold me down. I also hate hospitals so as you can imagine it was my worst nightmare come F ing true.

Anyways enough about my personal problems, here's chapter two for you and for any new readers to this book out there...I'm going to establish this right now. VEX AND CARI HAVE NOTHING ROMANTIC IN BETWEEN THEM! Vex is technically Cari's godfather for Irk's sake! I had a random PMer that actually turned out to be someone I knew asked if they had anything going on between them...THEY DON'T, that's like having a relationship with your uncle BLECK XD. Just had to get that point across.

Unknown POV.

Breathe in…Breathe out…Breathe in…Breathe out.

'What's going on…?' I thought tiredly as my brain started clicking into gear. I tried opening my eyes but it was really blurry when I did and my eyes would start stinging so I'd rapidly close them again to avoid another head ache.

I heard a door open and close making me flinch. My antenna felt very sensitive at the moment and loud noises were not helping. I heard soft footsteps, then someone's hand on my forehead making me flinch again.

"Dammit, you're still burning up. Hold on I'll get you some more aspirin," The person said in a soft but frustrated tone. I heard the person walking away again and just when I began to relax, she came back.

She grabbed my jaw and forced it open just enough to push something into my mouth and dump liquid down after that. I panicked upon feeling this so I started trying to pull away. Apparently she wouldn't have that as she covered my mouth and titled my head up slightly so I was unable to breathe until I swallowed whatever she'd given me.

I tried forcing my mouth open for air as I struggled but she firmly held me down and started rubbing my throat up and down making me choke down whatever she'd given me, "Good boy, you're much harder to handle than your friend," She grumbled and put a hand on my rather sore shoulder.

I slowly pried an eye open to look at her and in an instant I was panicking all over again. Something was beeping next to me and the beep was steadily increasing as I continued to panic, "Whoa calm down! It's ok, I'm not going to hurt you just relax." I felt paranoid, I couldn't trust her. And that annoying beeping next to me was sending me further into agitation!

I watched as she looked over at the beeping machine and shut it down, obviously noticing my discomfort, "Better?" I just looked at her for a second before twitching my antenna and glancing around the room. I was happy at least half of my sight was restored but any light still stung my eyes making my pupils narrow and my eyes clamp shut again.

I tried sitting up but she pushed me back down, "Whoa there tiger, you need to rest. If you over exert yourself again you could possibly go into cardiac arrest and no one here wants that. Just relax, that aspirin should be kicking in any minute now and you'll go back to sleep." I didn't want to sleep; I wanted to know what happened, where I was, what was going on?!

She stood a few moments later and patiently waited near a corner of the room as I started calming down and going back to sleep, "I'm going to put an oxygen mask on your face just in case, so don't freak out when I do," I heard her grumble as I slipped further into unconsciousness. I felt something slide onto my face which I assumed was the oxygen mask she spoke of. I didn't panic this time as much as I tried opening my eyes to see what else she was going to do to me.

She did nothing but put something back on my hand that made that irritable beeping come back again. It was slower now though…calmer and almost soothing. The noise started lulling me into a sleep I didn't want to be in but needed anyways and soon enough, I was drifting off again.

Cari's POV.

"What the hell is a PAK virus theory?" I asked appalled at what I was now reading. There was tons of information about how Irken's reacted to their PAKs and how the PAK's were the main life source for an Irken. It was disgusting; this was information that was never supposed to get out to anyone but ourselves. PAK's were almost indestructible, the only way you could hurt a PAK is with another PAK's weapons or vibrainium.

"Well princess I'm not sure, but from what I've read out of this file is a big plan the Vortarians have for the Irkens and, Moon was involved with it. It's supposed to corrupt the PAK and drive it mad thus killing the PAK's beholder," Jeb responded and ran through the files again, "This is the only file on, Moons computer that isn't secured with a password and an eye confirmation scanner."

"Is there any info on how to stop it…or at least reverse its effects?" I asked in concern, "Or how it spreads? Maybe we can stop it from spreading."

"None of that is on this file. This is mostly about Irken anatomy and our weaknesses, nothing useful as to how we can stop it and reverse its effects," I growled in frustration upon hearing this. I hated Moon even more now for giving out weaknesses about the Irken race.

"Do you think, Zim knew about this and attacked, Moon because of it?" I asked while cupping my face in my hands. I was already under a ton of emotional stress and this just took the cake for me. Now I had to worry about my PAK going haywire and destroying me from the inside out!

I felt a hand on my shoulder making me look up and see Jeb giving me a sympathetic look, "I don't know what, Zim knew about this. However he knew what he was doing when he shoved, Moon into the teleporter with him." I looked away from him and sighed.

"I should go talk to, Vex about this," Jeb cringed when I said Vex's name and I remembered he and Vex weren't exactly two peas in a pod, "Sorry I forgot you two aren't on good terms."

"No worries, as long as I don't have to talk to him or interact with him then I'll do just fine," Jeb muttered coldly before taking his hand off of my shoulder and walking back over to Rae, "Come on, Rae. You need to round up the others and prepare them for dinner."

"Can't they do that themselves?" Rae asked in a pout. She was daddy's little scientist not the kids baby sitter. Half of the kids didn't even need baby sitters but Rae was the oldest out of the kids and the youngest out of the adults so she was stuck with many duties involving both age groups.

"Last time they blew up part of the bathroom fighting over whose toothbrush was whose, they need supervision."

"That was just, Sky and Mia!" Rae protested while following her father out of the lab leaving me to snicker at her and jump down from the counter I was seated at.

I needed to go find Vex and talk to him about this; it could have something to do with his mate's disappearance. Maybe they were connected.

I followed a hallway closely until emerging out into the living room. What I saw amused me. Vex was trying to get some sleep on the couch like he normally did around this time of day but there were three pairs of eyes watching him carefully from around a corner. To them he was like their next victim.

Amused by this, I sat back to watch as the three pairs of eyes looked at each other, nodded and proceeded to start shifting around the corner silently. Vex's hat was lowered down on his head so his eyes were blocked off but I had a feeling he'd wake up as soon as they sprang at them. He was a very light sleeper and they were very noisy attackers.

They slid cautiously along the ground and up behind Vex getting ready to pounce. One of them reached up towards his hat which I knew was a huge mistake. No one touches Vex's hat.

Her hand latched the brim of the hat and she shouted in victory which was another big mistake. For three milliseconds later Vex reached back, grabbed her by the scruff and lifted her over himself to glare at her, "An' jus what makes ya think you can do that ta me while I'm sleepin'?"

Vex's attacker looked down at him innocently before shouting, "ATTACK!" Then the other two attackers pounced on Vex making him shout in surprise.

"Grab his arms!"

"No his legs you idiot!"

"Are you kidding me? Get the hat!"

"No if we don't restrain him first he'll destroy us!"

"I plan on destroyin' all ya'll anyways!" Vex shouted through the mass of young teens pinning him to the couch. They laughed at his hollow threats and slowly stopped wrestling him by resorting to just sitting on him so he was incapable of moving.

"HAHA! We win!" Sky, the tremendously loud twin shouted. She high fived the other girls also sitting on Vex and started giggling wildly.

"Notice how I have yet ta move," Vex pointed out and cocked an eye brow at the three enthusiastic girls.

"That's a good thing, now get his hat!" Sky hollered and started reaching up towards his hat. I smirked when I saw Vex's eyes narrow and his arm shoot up to grab Sky's wrist, "What! Mia, you're SUPPOSED to be pinning his arms!"

"Well I'm sorry! He's a tad bit stronger than me if you hadn't noticed," Mia said back in her normal quiet, cool and collected voice.

"Who's gonna win now?" Vex growled and flung Sky off of him gently so she wouldn't get hurt. Sky shouted in surprise upon her landing making the other girls shout in fright and jump off of him within seconds.

"RETREAT! RETREAT! He's going to destroy us!" Minerva shouted loudly while sprinting away from Vex as fast as she could. Mia however wasn't so lucky and was soon grabbed by Vex and lifted up into the air. Vex was a really tall Irken, taller than me, taller than Zim and I'm pretty sure he was almost as tall as the recent Tallest. So when Mia was picked up by him she was hovering at least two feet higher than her normal height.

"No fair, Vex! Put me down!" Mia protested softly. Vex just laughed making her pout and give him puppy eyes.

"Comrade, Mia has been captured by the target," Sky 'whispered' to Minerva in her own excruciatingly loud way.

"I know. Evasive maneuvers?" Minerva asked back with a sly smile.

"Pants him," They said in unison while turning to each other with big, malevolent grins. This is when I decided interrupting this was probably the best time to do so.

"OKAY! That was fun," I said loud enough for everyone to hear and snap their heads over to look at me. Vex looked embarrassed whereas the kids looked hyper and ready to pounce on me too, "Vex why are you holding, Mia up in the air?"

"They attacked me!" He protested and gently set Mia down. She grabbed his leg immediately after and hid behind it afraid that she was going to get into trouble.

"I can see that, I am almost hurt they didn't invite me to help," I smiled making Mia a tad bit more comfortable, "But I need to speak with you privately."

I felt all eyes on me, Minerva looked like she was going to ask what it was about but she knew me better than to interrupt when I was this serious about something. Vex realized it too, "A'ight, where do ya wanna talk?"

"My room, Minerva you're in charge until we get back," I said and motioned for Vex to follow me.

"WHAT! But that's not fair!" I heard Sky shout as usual. She hated when she wasn't in charge of something, especially her own wellbeing.

"Sky you and, Mia are 152, you're still in your prime and, Minerva is 192. She is the oldest out of you three and I'm sure, Rae will be around any second to round all of you up. Now run along so I can talk to, Vex privately."

Minerva smiled deviously while the twins grumbled in their defeat, "Technically I'm five minutes older than, Mia!" Sky shouted after us.

"Shut up, Sky!" Mia growled back and tugged her antenna thus causing a wrestling war between the two twins.

"So what's gotcha so worked up?" Vex asked once we entered my room. I shut the door behind me and walked over to a desk Zim once said Moon was routing through for some files. I pried opened the drawers with a big heave and sure enough, there were a few files with the disease symbol stamped onto them, "Cari?"

"This is what I'm so worked up over," I said and threw him a file. He caught it flawlessly and opened it up with narrowed eyes. I waited for his reaction and got one as soon as his eyes skimmed over a dead Irken and its broken PAK on an operating table.

"What the hell is this?" Vex asked and looked back up at me seriously.

"Well according to the Vortarians it's Operation PAK Virus. This was locked up in, Moon's computer," I answered and sat down next to him. He looked sick for lack of better words as he stared at the disgusting pictures and skimmed over the printed lettering.

"An', Moon's the one that attacked yer lover boy six months ago correct? He's the one that somehow made me end up here?"

"Yeah sadly the teleporter broke when, Zim slammed, Moon into the dash board, I don't even know if they walked out of that contraption alive but at least I know where they'd be if they made it successfully," I sighed and bit my tongue so I wouldn't start getting emotional about this.

I heard Vex sigh and look over at me with sympathetic eyes. I was seriously starting to get annoyed by everyone treating me like a hurt puppy just because we were unsure if, Zim was ok or not, "So why're ya showin' me this?"

"Because I think it might have something to do with, Axel," I answered making him stiffen up. She was…a very…sensitive subject for Vex so I'd have to be careful about how I break this to him.

"Vex according to these files, a few years ago they started needing test subjects so I think, Axel's disappearance from the prison had something to do with this."

"That wouldn't make sense, Kid. Irkens took her away ta an Irken prison. There ain't no way a Vortarian could get their hands on 'er in there," Vex responded coldly and glared straight ahead.

"Moon was Irken and he was involved with this. Who's to say there weren't more Irkens involved with this?" I argued softly. Axel was everything to Vex like Zim was everything to me so I understood why he wouldn't exactly be the most comfortable talking about this subject.

"I don't know. Let's say she was taken ta be a test subject, wouldn't she be dead by now?" Vex asked with hurt eyes.

"Not exactly, some test subjects might still be alive. If we can find out where they keep their test subjects we can break in and look for, Axel."

Vex grunted in response and closed the file folder, "Is there any way ta stop the infection er at least reverse it?"

"Not that we know of yet, I asked, Jeb the same question a few minutes ago," I grumbled and studied his blank expression carefully. Sighing, I wrapped my arms around Vex and hugged him tightly, "Don't give up hope, Vex. Because then I'll give up hope on, Zim. We'll find them again."

Vex was silent while he leaned against me and stared blankly at the ground. We sat there for a few minutes before he broke the ice again, "We wouldn't just be lookin' fer, Axel if we found out where they were keepin' their test subjects…"

"Who else is there to look for?" I asked while I continued hugging him. He'd never admit it but he appreciated the comfort he'd get from me or another close friend any day. It made him feel less alone in this unknown battle.

"Well…Axel wasn't exactly alone when the police took 'er away from me."

"Who else was with her?"

"…My kid…" Vex said quietly and looked away as I pulled away from him in shock. He never told me he had a child, "My…unborn kid…" Oh shit…that's why he hasn't told me about it.

"Oh my Irk, Vex I am so sorry," I whispered and rewrapped my arms around him, "I had no idea there was a child involved."

"It's fine, only Axel, my partner and me knew 'bout it. I didn't really want anybody else tryin' ta get involved at the time."

"We need to start our search immediately, I'll go have, Jeb start hacking the codes in, Moon's computer so we can maybe find out a little bit more about what's going on," I said in a rushed voice. I started getting up when Vex grabbed my wrist and shook his head frantically.

"I don't want, Jeb knowin' 'bout this. I don't need his help ta track down my mate." Oh yeah, I once again forgot they weren't on the best of terms. However his pleading green eyes stared up into my worried Blue eyes and I knew he was serious about this. I should be honored he even told me about this.

"Fine…I won't tell, Jeb. But how do you plan on finding them without his help?"

"I did go ta the academy ya know. I know a little bit more 'bout technology then ya think I do. I used ta hack Jeb's computer all the time just fer kicks and ta see 'im squirm 'bout it the next day. I know how ta hack a computer. Ain't that hard," He smirked and laughed to himself. I wanted to talk to him more about Jeb but I didn't know exactly how sensitive the subject was for him. It seemed like everything we talked about was a sensitive subject for him but with a life like his…I don't blame him for not wanting to talk about the things that caused him grief.

"Alright, then let's go work on that."

"Can we do that later? I have a certain wrestlin' match I need ta finish up with three overly hyper teens," Vex said dismissively.

"You mean like the wrestling matches you, me and Tabitha used to have?" I smirked and crossed my arms. He was such a softy, but that's why the kids loved him.

"Yeah, kinda like those. 'Xcept ya'll weren't tryin' ta git my hat every ten seconds, mostly jus tryin' ta crawl on top of it."

"Yeah, I remember those days. Alright, I'll go help, Rae and her dad," I said making sure not to say Jeb's name, "With dinner, then afterwards we'll go hack that damn computer."

"Language," Vex growled.

"I'm 262, Vex. I think I can have a little more freedom as to what I can say now, don't you?"

"No."

I sighed and rolled my eyes before standing up and heading towards the door, "Ya know, Blue would've been pretty damn proud of ya if he were still alive today." I stopped and looked at the door handle I was grasping.

"Why do you think that?"

"Cause…I'm proud of ya, and I'm just yer guards mentor," He answered and walked over to me with a heartwarming smile.

"You're technically my uncle, Vex." I reminded making his smile grow.

"I know, but ya jus looked like ya needed that," I smiled gently at him, "If ya need ta talk 'bout anythin'…like yer lover boy or anythin' at all, ya know I'm always here fer ya."

I let go of the door handle and turned to Vex whom was giving me a small, knowing smile. I didn't know what to say so instead I just walked into his chest and hugged him tightly. He hugged me back feeling the grief in my body language and said softly, "I knew ya needed that too."

I stayed silent while burying my face in his shoulder, I hated how well he knew my emotions but he was technically my back up guard which meant he spent a lot of time with me as a kid so we knew how to read each other pretty well. Well…he knew how to read me like a book, I was still trying to figure out the first word on the first page of his book…but I'll get there, "Thanks uncle Vex."

"Anytime kid, now run along, I got a raid to settle," Vex said back and rubbed my back before opening the door and ushering me out. I nodded and walked down one hallway while he slammed himself silently against the wall and slunk down the other side of the hall way in search of the Twins and Minerva.


A/N: The title to this chapter just fits it so well dontcha think? X3, I love the way Vex acts in this chapter. Especially at the end when he slams himself against the wall and starts slinking away. I laughed so hard as I imagined this happening =3. But I do feel really bad for him when he's talking about his unborn child and Axel getting taken away from him. It was sad to me and I'm the one who thought it up and wrote it LOL. Poor Vex, out of all my characters I have the most sympathy for him...or Jax. Also if I made it sound like Mia and Sky are really short...well they are. They're not tiny but they are just about up to Zims upper chest. Vex is taller than Zim, so you can imagine. Who's the mystery character, I made it so plainly obvious I wouldn't be surprised if you guys were just like "Oh hey!" but ya know, I suck at hiding things XD. ALSO did anyone get the reference I made about Captain America or the Avengers? *Both of which I don't own at all XD...sadly* Tell me through reviews!

Again Vex is just Cari's UNCLE and or GODFATHER! Nothing more and definitely nothing less.

SO WHAT DID YOU THINK! ONLY ONE WAY TO TELL ME AND THAT'S BY REVIEWING! FOLLOWING and FAVORITING PLEAASSSEEEE =D, shankya LOL.

If you have any questions review on them or PM me and I'll answer, I love talking to my readers so if you just want to talk, PM me, I'm...MOSTLY available. When I'm not being held down to an Fing hospital table *pouts angrily* I hope you all enjoyed and here's the last review responses!

To my bestest budday! FritterCritter! Moon is an idiot but you must remember, he's helping plan this 'attack' on the Irkens and he only wanted Jax dead which he got, so he's probably going to be ensured safety and most likely be on another planet hahaha. He's a wuss, Zim is a zombie! A very funneh zombie at that XD. and OH how your Oc's will kick ass, it just keeps getting better and better. I have to really get into the problem before introducing them though so most likely around chapter 15 they will start to be introduced. This is going to be a rather long book LOL.

Isabelle Frost: I am so happy to hear from you again my friend! And I couldn't kill Zim! I hope I didn't scare ya too bad X3. Actually in all techniquality, if I killed off Zim then I wouldn't be able to continue on with my books because I can't write fanfiction about invader Zim without one of the members from the cast being in the book nearly all the time. So I thought about it and I just couldn't do it LOL. If we didn't want to be technilogical then yes, Zim's too much of a badass to die so suddenly LOL.

FritterCritter again! =3, do not explode! I wouldn't get ta hear from ya then and I'd CRY! LOL. You no longer have to wait for this chapter. But now you gotta wait for the next chapter XD. I hope you enjoyed my friend~!

~I'm gonna give you the most badass Deathwish that any Brady could deal out XD, see what I did there LOL.
