Dib Reborn Chapter 8

(I don't own IZ, thanks to my reviewers for making this my most popular fiction)

Dib spent the night going through his old photographs, he wondered how he was going to spend the rest of his nights on Earth, and he couldn't sit and reminisce forever.

Finally dawn came and he heard movement in the house, he stayed in his room till he heard cupboards banging in the kitchen, he crept downstairs, Gaz was preparing something on one counter while the Professor was working on some project on another, Dib remembered Dad did that often instead of working in the basement lab he would bring a project upstairs so his kids could see him even if he was to busy to pay attention to them.

He pulled out a chair and climbed up so he could sit at the table but he could barley see over the table itself so he stood on the chair so he could see what was going on.

Gaz Noticed him smiled, brought over a stack of pancakes and a phone book for him to sit on.

Dib greedily dug in, Gaz always made great pancakes, The Professor still hadn't noticed his presence. It wasn't until Dib was halfway through his pancakes when the Professor turned suddenly.

"I've finished the Irken detector! What it does is pick up on the energy signature of their Paks, if any are within 50 miles of our location we should know it, let's turn it on."

Dib's fork clattered to the floor as a rapid beeping issued from the devise, the Professor looked at Dib with cold angry eyes, he pulled out an energy weapon.

"Gaz get down, an Irken has tricked you, that's no kid you are babysitting"

"Dad! Don't shoot him!"

To late the Professor had opened fire, Dib dodged each shot, however one shot blew up the microwave the explosion shorted out his pak briefly, he fell to the floor, and his disguise was gone he was helpless.

Gaz stepped in front of him shielding him from her father.

"Gaz step away, why would you protect him? An Irken killed your brother"

"Because he's Dib's son, you're Grandchild and he's just an innocent little kid, he can't help what his father did"

"I still won't have that in my house"

"Where's he going to go? His home is nothing but a crater and his Papa is in a cadge in your labs and I won't have you running experiments on him"

"I don't care where he goes, but I won't have an Irken living in my house"

"Dib go pack your stuff, we are going to go to the woman's shelter"

"Gaz you will not…"

"Dad I won't hear of it, you are being irrational, little Dib is harmless and I won't let you hurt the only thing I have left of my brother. You never cared for him anyways, calling him insane, had you paid more attention to him he might still be alive. I'm going to the shelter with Dib, I'm sure they would love to hear how the great Professor Membrane nearly killed his grandchild"

"My grandchild impossible, he's..."

"Some scientist, scoffing at the possibilities before even testing to see if it can be true, the Irken in the lab carried little Dib to term, your son fathered him. I'm going to go pack, for your sake I hope you decide to give little Dib a chance"

Dib didn't have much to pack just the human clothing Gaz had found for him; he hadn't unpacked his packages yet. So he brought everything downstairs, the Professor was sitting on the couch, Dib set down his stuff by the door he picked up one package, he approached the Professor who glared at him with such hatred, Dib paused he was frightened, in all his years he never remembered his father being mad at him he was often disappointed but never angry, he felt his heart breaking he didn't want to be hated not by the Professor.

"A-Auntie Gaz said that my Grandpa would love me, I-I made this for you"

He ran forward placed the package at his feet and ran back to the door peeping around the door jam.

The Professor scanned the package before opining it, a head popped up

"For Science!" the little robot duplicate of the Professor shouted,

"I made him so he could help you in the lab"

"You made this yourself?"

Dib nodded, the Professor had seemed to have calmed down so he crept back into the living room

"Gaz sent me audio clips from your show, for his voice"

"Were you going to help your Papa take over Earth?"

"No Earths my home and my Auntie and Grandpa's home too, are you going to kill my Papa?"

The Professor's head snapped up, he activated a video call

"Simmons is the alien still alive?"

"Yes sir, what do you..?"

"Good keep it alive and don't let the government get a hold of it"

He ended the call

"What do you know of Dib?"

"I don't know much he died before I was born, Papa talked about him but he mostly compared how I was like him."

"Before you were born? But that would make you…"

"Barley two years old, he's just a baby Dad even if he can build amazing things, from what my brother had told me it may be 50 or more years before the little guy starts trying taking over planets Zim is over a hundred"

"Fascinating but I'm not convinced that he'…"

"Don't you have that genealogy chronographer in the basement?"

"All right lets go get him tested"

The Professor took a small blood sample from Dib, and placed it into a machine a screen lit up with a pile of info, a 3D model of Dib's DNA spun around several blinking makers appeared around it blinking in ether green or gold some showed both green and gold.

Analysis Membrane possibility of error 5

"I have something to confess to the both of you, the Membranes have been genetically enhanced, my great grandfather did it, improving analytical skills memory and physical attributes so that we are perpetually healthy, heal quickly and have fast reflexes. The only thing he couldn't fix was the need for glasses. He made sure that one Membrane would know another by leaving genetic markers that would always be dominant, amber eyes, the scythe lock in the men and purple hair in the woman. Dib look at here and here, even though the Irken DNA is more dominant the marker traits still showed, you inherited the amber eyes but since you didn't have hair the maker trait modified to your antenna, what's even more fascinating is that the Irken DNA uses the human DNA to improve itself see where the markers are both green and gold that's where the Irken DNA borrowed from the Human, absolutely fascinating, according to this you should grow quite tall, all Membranes are tall but you should surpass even me, how tall you'll end up is hard to say."

"Wow really?"

Gaz's watch beeped

"Oh no! I'll be late for class! I'd better find a happy and healthy little Nephew when I get home"

She rushed upstairs

"So can you tell me more about my DNA?"

They spent hours just discussing the fascinating properties of Irken DNA, when the Professors Lab called demanding a the results from a particular project, that he was supposed to be working on this morning Dib figured he would be ignored now that the Professor needed to catch up, instead he was pleasantly surprised that the Professor asked for his help.

Gaz came home and went straight for the lab but neither of them were there, worried she searched the house, she finally found them in the garage tinkering with Tak's ship.

"Hi Auntie Gaz! Grandpa thinks we can fix the communications so the ion storm won't interfere."

"Yes it will take a few days but it can be done. Let's stop for today so we can go see your Papa"

"Really? You mean it? Thank you Grandpa!"

He hugged the Professor and ran upstairs to get ready

"I'm glad to see the change of heart, what brought it about?"

"he's quite the little scientist, and he reminds me of Dib only without the paranormal obsession, I felt as though I've been given a second chance with my son, I'll forgive the alien because he brought little Dib into this world"

"His name is Zim"

(Yes the cuteness failed, it was the science that endeared the Professor,)
