Yay! Reviews are fun to the point I start singing the Doom song! Gir! Take it away!

Just like Tenn, Gaz was also reviewing some of the recordings of Tak just studying from various angles along with going in slow motion. She studied it for hours knowing her eyes were probably becoming as red as Zim's with only a few times she would stop to run a hand along her eyebrows to release some tension as her eyes were closed. She was serious. She asked the Computer if he saw anything out of the ordinary, but his answer was in the negative prompting her to lean back in her chair to close her eyes to go into deep meditation barely hearing the door slide open, and light footsteps come in.

Hand slowly ran down from her shoulders, and gently between her breasts, she felt a kiss on the top of her head along with his voice saying gently, "Little Gaz."

Eyes opening, she leaned her head back to look up at him. "Hey." Enjoying how the kiss felt even in that position, she ran her hands up along his arms to touch his face. "You're back early."

"Zim is not. Check the time." He corrected. Seeing her startled look, he shook his head. "You haven't eaten have you?"

Stretching, she got off the seat. "Not since breakfast."

Examining her attire which was simply the silky robe and nightgown, he almost wanted to bring her to their bed again, but thought it was better to feed his demoness instead of let her starve. "Computer, we need some food in here." Re-examining her again, he grinned, "My Gaz would like to have pizza tonight. I know they can make that. I would like the same too."

"Right away, Sir." Came the Computers response.

"How do you know I want pizza, Zim?"

"I've known you long enough when you desire it. Zim is amazing is he not?" He inquired smugly.

Gaz turned to walk towards their bedroom taking off her robe slowly. "Mmmmhmmm. I guess I should change then to something more..." After her robe slides of to the ground, she moves her straps down, and looks behind at him. "Decent then." With a wink she lets the fabric fall down to reveal nothing but pale skin. "Be right back."

As if in a dream, Zim followed her in there to attack her lips. "My demoness." Hands on her hips, he guided her to the bed to lay her down. Getting on his knees he was ready to undo his pants when the chime alerted him that the food was already here. "YEAH YEAH I'M COMING!" He yelled out making Gaz cover her ears up. As he got off the bed to study her naked form on their bed, he growled, "Zim can't get a simple quickie before food comes." Gaz giggled at that making him pout. "This isn't over, little Gaz." Hearing the door again, he cried out, "I'M COMING! Sheesh."

Closing the door behind him after kicking her clothes in, he went to get the food, dismiss the drone, and brought it into the bedroom purring at the sight of her as she laid on her side waiting for him. Irk, his human was sexy.

Tak woke up face down on a soft bed groaning. Picking her head up to look around she spotted the crib which made her drag her weakened body over to see if her son was there. Seeing that he wasn't, she breathed a sigh of relief as she gingerly got off the bed to check out the room seeing that both doors were locked. Why was she here again? Hearing the door click open, she turned herself around to face a stone faced Pressner as he entered closing the door behind him.

"I could restore that pak of yours." He offered.

Tak shook her head.

"Why not? Isn't that part of the Irken pride?"

"It is, but seeing what type of person you are I wouldn't trust it." Tak answered. "I'd rather have my pak like this than having you or that other bastard restore it. I trust my own kind only. I also trust my extended family."

Approaching her, Pressner made sure to back her against the wall. "Soon your own race will be no more. I am sparing you simply because of my feelings for you. Be glad of that."

"That is fruitless. You are nothing at all. You think you are powerful just like him, but both of you are weak. Incredibly weak."

"How do you figure that, my dear?"

Taking a chance she took an accurrsary look at his crouch before looking back up. Her words came dripping out like acid. "Because you let that little tool of yours cloud your mind just like all weak minded males."

He wasn't bothered by her words, he was enjoying them. "You are always a delight to me."

"I'm a delight to Dib as well" Seeing his eyes narrow, she laughed. "I know your boss doesn't want you harming him so you are stuck with keeping him alive and with him alive there is hope for us."

"I control you. Make no mistake on that, you will forget him in time."

"I can never forget someone like him. Dib is far powerful in his mind than you would ever hope to be." Tak knew of his strengths. Knew of his weaknesses, but even in his weakness she knew that Dib could overcome them. Even if she did die in all of this, she knew he would do anything to protect his own family. That is who Dib always was.

"Sir! Tenn is here to see you." Came his assistants announcement.

"Send her in and please call me, Dib." Dib told her as he pressed save on his file.

"Yes, Sir... I mean, Dib." Corrected his assistant.

Watching the door to his office open, Dib came over to hold it as she walked in with a stroller with a sleeping Jack inside. Closing it gently, he bent over to look over his son with a gentle smile before he focused on Tenn's face. "Is everything alright?" Noting how serious she got.

"Yeah, I showed it to Zim already, but I thought you needed to see what he drew." Going into her pack, she had attached to the stroller, she produced two pieces of paper, and walked back over to the opposite side of his desk. "This first one is of Irk and this over here is a planet that doesn't exist next to it at all."

Studying it he really couldn't believe the level of attention involved with the drawing of someone his age. "What did Zim say about this?"

"Well I won't go into all his verbage, but it definitely warrants attention seeing how he was accurate before." Tenn replied.

"Irk is really in danger then. Honestly before I wouldn't of cared, but..." Seeing the other piece of paper in her hand, he pointed at it. "And that one?"

Tenn seemed more nervous to show this one then the other one as she decided to walk around his desk to show him. "I don't know how you will take this one." Handing it to him, she waited to see his reaction.

It was a picture of Tak with Gaz in front of her, but with Tak appearing tortured as Gaz simply is holding her hand out. Dib didn't know how to take this at all. He knew she was being controlled. He knew she was taking armada ships one at a time. Does that mean this will soon happen on the Massive? Dib just stared at it.

"He said mama pain, and fell asleep. So I reported this to Zim, and rushed to see you." Tenn said watching how his eyes burned into the paper. "Hopefully we can help her."

Dib appreciated those last words of encouragement, but he hated to know how his son was so attuned to something so bad early on in his life. "I thought hiding out during the invasion here was a nightmare. That is a cakewalk now."

Producing a business card, Tenn glanced it over with some trepidation. "I would like to head to Irk one day again, but..."

"Now who gave you their number this time?" Dib was slightly amused as she handed it over to him. "Well he is one persistent guy isn't he?" Hands it back to her. "That is what you get for choosing a disguise that desirable to human males."

Sighing, she looked back to see if Jack was still sleeping before looking back at him. "I have a duty to perform so no negating from it."

"He could of given you your first kiss though."

"I don't agree with his smell though. Plus he is a jerk."

Looking back at the picture of Tak and Gaz, he focused more on Tak. "There is more males in this universe than someone like me. Are you waiting for me to change my mind?"

She liked how he always was very respectful and kind when he spoke to her. "You are my first experience in liking someone, just like I know it was Tak's. Thing is I like a guy who is in love with someone else and even I am seeing if there is a way to get that parasite out of her. I'm doing it for you and also for that little smeet behind me."

"I appreciate all that you are doing for us. You truly are a great friend." Dib didn't dare ask her if she loved him when he could see it written in her face and how she spoke. If he never met Tak then he wouldn't hesitate being with Tenn, but his heart wanted Tak.

They were watching a live feed of Tak stalking down the hallways making short work of many of the soldiers in her path. Gaz stood up next to Zim as he was issuing out the standard orders while her mind was racing feeling something inside her snap. It was tangible. It felt real to her. So real that she turned to Zim to inform him that she had a plan, and requested not to fire on the ship at all.

"Gaz, your Zim is wondering what are you planning on doing?" Zim latched on to her hand as he saw the frantic look in her eyes as she studied the screen.

"Do you trust me?" She turned to hold his gaze.

Staring into her amber depths, he nodded. "I do, but if you risk your life I can't allow this. It almost killed me to see you attacked by that smurf on that planet."

Eyes widening, she smiled at him. She told him about being dragged to that planet with Dib, but she didn't tell him how he reacted fully. "Zim?"

"Him on top of you attacking you while your brother was being attacked. I had to stand here and watch while that was happening to you. Zim hates it when he feels useless." Zim's mouth dropped a little. "I remembered that."

Kissing him, she told him she loved him. "Please trust me. Please." Jumping back knowing how well he moves, she ran off the bridge, and to the nearest transporters. Seeing Gir, she thought she might as well bring a distraction as she scooped him up.

Zim called down to the transporters to inform them not to let the Queen on them at all, but when they said she already left, Zim felt his spooch wither. "Please be safe." He said silently before issuing the order out loud. "No one is to fire on that ship. The Queen is on board!"

Stepping out of the room, Gaz looked down at Gir. "Do you understand what I told you Gir? If you do I will have them make you lots of tacos."

Gir's eyes lit up as he went bouncing from foot to foot. "Uh huh. Tacos."

"Just don't go off too far because we might have to leave quickly. We don't want to make, Zim angry do we?" Gaz knew she spoke to him like a mother spoke to a small child. Her training material with children seemed to begin with this cute robot. Great, just great.

"Noooooooooo."

Patting his head, she smiled. "Good luck, now go."

Gir did his traditional yelling and screaming down the corridor in the directions of the yells and stuff to the point she heard him go, "Do de do de do de do de..." Over and over again queuing her to leave her hiding spot to walk over to see Tak's turned back studying Gir in obvious contemplation. Gaz also felt the eyes of Zim on her from the cameras themselves as she stood there.

"Tak." Gaz called out gently making her turn around and make one ungainly step forward before stopping.

Pressner inside her subconscious with Tak looking worried next to him made him stop his advance towards Gaz as he called out to Psyllic through his bond. "We have a problem."

"What is it?" Came Psyllic's question.

"The Queen is on this ship and she is in front of me right now."

"Do not harm her. I repeat, do not harm her." Came his order.

Pressner studied the tiny thing in front of him and commended how brave she is before glancing to Tak who was opening her mouth up to speak. Grabbing her, he cupped his hand over her mouth. "Do not speak, my dear." To Psyllic, he confirmed he heard his order. "I won't, but what now?"

"See what Gaz wants. I'm curious." Psyllic answered calmly.

Gaz studied Tak's black orbs and listless stance. It was sad to see someone so proud to be reduced this way by that monster inside of her. "Pressner, I know you are the one inside of her. Controlling her against her will you weak cowardly bastard. Did you become so weak to choose someone much stronger than you to fight for you?"

There was silence except for the distant sparking of wires and some mild explosions.

"Wow, you really are a weak one. I knew it the moment I saw you." Gaz continued on provoking him.

In a voice that wasn't Tak's, the male voice wasn't too happy with what she said. "Redefine your word regarding weak, little one."

"Pressner equals weak. Did I define it well to you?" Gaz wondered sarcastically.

"Little one, you may have powers and that is desirable to my employer, but I honestly don't see the appeal of you that drives him ga-ga over you. Possibly that Irken, but not him."

Gaz wasn't gonna raise to the bait though she felt like she wasn't getting anywheres fast with him so she tried something else. "Tak! Fight him. He's weak and you aren't. You have a family that misses you and wants you back now."

Within her mind, Pressner was fighting to remain in control of Tak as she tried to squirm away from him, and claw while stomping on his feet. He was determined to remain in control of his little prize. "Now, now behave or else."

Tak wasn't having none of it any longer as she continued hearing, Gaz still wanting her to fight against him. With his hand still clamped hard around her mouth, she bit down hard causing him to let go, and grab at her as she tried to run.

Black eyes turned to purple as her knees buckled and went to the ground. "Gaz, please help. I don't know how to get him out of me."

"You're strong, Tak. I know you can do this." Getting on her knee, Gaz took a hold of her hand. "Dib and Jack miss you so much."

Whimpering, she felt pain for what Pressner was trying to do to her to gain back control. "I miss them too, but I'm afraid if there is no way to separate me you'll have to kill me."

Shaking her hand, Gaz was determined not to let that happen. "No. You deserve to live. That scum doesn't."

"My pak is destroyed, but most of it is in my back. He offered to restore it, but don't trust." Tak cried out in pain as she felt him attacking her from within. "He's hurting me, Gaz. Please stop it."

Releasing a huff of breath, Gaz gave her hand a gentle squeeze as she stood up. "Gir, come to my side please." Gir came with no hesitation no cuteness.

Studying Tak she had to think positive about this as her aura started to radiate all around her. Her eyes glowing a bright yellow, Gaz focused her attention on the Irken in front of her while she brought her hands forward. Gaz held no expression on her face as she bathed Tak in a strong purple beam. She could barely hear the sounds of her scraping on the ground from her along with the few gasps. She did hear other sounds forming along with a vague curse word. Gaz knew she also heard Gir exclaiming beside her in wonderment. When she was done, Gaz was surprised she didn't feel weak as she looked down at the prone, Tak.

"You bitch."

Glancing up at the angry, Pressner was pretty worth it as Gir decided to jump into action to defend her. "Gir, help Tak." Gaz ordered not taking her eyes off the assassin. "You are just angry because you don't have anyone to use right now. Oh and you want to know why they are into me? Here." Releasing a huge ball of flame, she made it encompass his body making him curse and yell at her more before leaving.

Seeing some soldiers around, she told them to help Gir take Tak to the transporter room.

On Plegerin, Pressner reported to Psyllic that he lost control of Tak. Something that didn't bother his employer as he sat there to shrug it off before informing him their plans will still not change since she was just a small part of things.

Back on the Massive in the medical ward, Tak woke up to see Gaz beside her. "He's gone. I don't feel him in me anymore." Tak breathed out weakly. "Thank you."

"It sucks to be controlled. I also restored your pak to normal."

"I feel so bad that I was used like that. Against my own kind." Whimpering, Tak closed her eyes. "I'm so sorry."

Grabbing her hand, Gaz steadied her. "Hey, it wasn't your fault. You were made to do that against your own will. We know you wouldn't do that intentionally. Well not unless it was Zim all those years ago."

Tak smiled at her little quip there. "Appreciate it. Does Dib know about me yet?"

"Welllllll..." Releasing her hand, she picked up her computer to call up Dib. "Hey, Genius glad I caught you."

Sounding tired. "Hey Gaz. What's up? Please tell me there is some good news finally."

Smiling at him, Gaz stood up from her seat. "In fact there is. Say hello." Places the laptop on Tak's lap.

"Hi." Tak greeted weakly. "Your sister saved me."

Dib wanted to reach out and touch that screen. "He's out of you?" Is this a dream? He wondered.

"Yes, and she restored my pak." Seeing Dib look as if he was about to cry, she touched the screen. "I want to come back home to you and Jack."

"I would love that. We both miss you so much." Dib was beaming. "When can I see you?"

Tak looked over at Gaz and at Zim who now joined them. "I want to re-join Dib." She told them.

"I love how your weenie stand building is still down on Earth, Tak. No one owns it because it is still owned by your 'father' it seems." Zim placed his hands behind his back. "I had to check to see something and since you have transporters set up there, and are still functional in spite of no one really running the place. I can send you back there so we can avoid you getting kidnapped again on board one of our shuttles."

Gaz looked at her husband in astonishment for two reasons, him remembering more, and him appearing taller since the last time she left him.

Tak smiled. "I would really like that, Zim."

"Of course you do because I, Zim thought of it." Zim smugly said making Gaz roll her eyes.

Ignoring that ego, Tak looked to Dib. "Can I leave now, Zim?"

"Let the med check you over one last time and you are free to go if things check out correctly." Seeing the doctor approach, he said, "We'll be right here holding the Dib-stink till he is done."

"Hey!" Dib bellowed out as the computer was given back to Gaz.

"Forgive him you know how rude he gets." Elbowing her husband she looked over as they attached something to her pak to access her.

"I guess now I understand that other drawing of, Jack's. The one of you and Tak in a hallway. It was you saving her. Thanks, sis."

"Yeah well, you've done a lot for me so it is my turn to return the favor." Gaz said with a shrug before falling quiet as she listened to the doctor speak saying Tak was in perfect health.

Zim nodded his approval. "You better get cracking to that weenie stand, Dib."

"Congratulations to you both." Gaz added.

Taking a hard look at her gown, Tak looked at Gaz. "I know I will have a hologram device, but I wouldn't mind clothes for my actual body." That would have to be the meekest she ever would feel in her life at the moment.

Not too much time later, Dib found himself inside the weenie stand noticing it really hadn't changed inside. It actually still was clean. It was kinda odd feeling like he was just a young kid again trying to get pictures inside there.

"No pictures please."

Dib turned his head to watch Tak emerge from the shadows wearing something different then a uniform. It was black pants with a purple jacket on top. "I'm getting pictures of you from now on. You can't stop me." Going to her, he wrapped his arms around her waist to lift her up.

Smiling at him, she gave him a gentle kiss on the tip of the nose. "In that case, go ahead." Feeling his lips against hers, she melted feeling renewed again. "Take me home. I want to see our son."

Shifting her in his arms, he carried her out. "He wants to see you too."

Tak rested her head against his chest to hear his heartbeat. "Do you still want to be mated to me?"

"Do you really need to ask that question?" Dib inquired with an obvious, 'Hell yeah I want to be,' attached to his tone of voice.

Tak knew it wasn't the end of all their troubles, but for right now it was nice to feel this one part. The part that made her feel whole again.
