Thank you, Invader Johnny you are very kind and trust me it is the same because a loss is a loss when they are close to your heart. It is that love you have for someone that means a lot so my condolences to you as well.
Andy and dragongirl - Thanks to you as well, it is a one day at a time process. As for the question what else he took out of her, I won't get into that because I can't think of what else. Obviously not her squeedlyspooch. (However you spell that word)
The rickety sound of the ceiling fan they once had. At times it mimicked the sound of your beating heart. Sometimes it would sound like the silent ticking of a clock. One time when they shifted the speed of the fan to something lower, the sound it made was like a thickity-thack-thickity-thack-thack-thack-thick-blah. Both Gaz and himself tried to ignore it, but they decided to destroy it instead. Destroy it because they were both bored and it was impeding on their thoughts. Regardless of them needing air, it was given up on. Destroyed because it bothered them. He knew he was getting agitated in his own dad never being at home, and acting like he was flipping nuts. He felt Gaz was in the same position there.
Right now he swore he heard that fan again as he waited on news on, Tak. He had to fight the urge to go to Earth alone. He had to...
"Dib?"
He looked up when Gaz said his name quietly. She looked exhausted naturally.
"You can come in."
Standing up, he walked in to find, Zim using chalk to clean up his hands as he stood nearby. "She still needs plenty of rest." Zim told him as he walked past him. "I'm sorry about the loss of your smeet."
"Thank you, Zim and thanks for helping her." Dib murmured as he went past him.
Walking to her side, she had her eyes open a little. "I didn't know I was, you know until it happened."
"We had sex twice and..."
"I'm an Irken. Our babies develop faster." She said.
Examining her from head to toe, he bent down to kiss her lips. "I was so scared."
"Same here, mostly pissed now." She said she was, but the way her eyes shuttered he saw how tired she was right now. "Also very tired."
"Get some rest then. I'll be near if you need anything." He assured her.
She smiled at him weakly while allowing her eyes to close. Before long she was fast asleep while Dib went to sit down in the chair nearest to the table in contemplative silence.
Zim hated the fact that Gaz wandered off by herself. In the past, way before this bullshit, he wouldn't of had to worry about her, but now all he can envision is the possibility of her writhing around in pain because of that sick psycho would torture her for his own whim. Inquiring the computer where she was, the computer was actually less then helpful since all he can say the same answer as, Gir;
"I don't know."
Zim gritted his teeth as he kept walking around suddenly remembering what he gave her when they reunited. Asking the computer again to pull that up, he went off to the location he actually hadn't been in quite some time since after Dib first broke into his base, and he trapped him in that sphere. Interesting she was in there.
Going in, she wasn't seen clearly, but he had a clue where she might be as he went to his old control panel. Climbing up a few steps, she was sitting on the ground with her back leaning against the control panel to stare outside.
"I just wanted a little time alone to think, Zim." She grumbled.
Seeing some blood on her other arm, he quickly went to the ground in front of her to examine her noticing with her other hand, her fingernail was marked with blood. Gently taking her hands, he forced her to look at him. "Gaz!" The vision he saw inside her eyes showed so much making him take a decidedly gentle tone with her. "It made you think of our baby, I know. It made me think that as well." She blinked her eyes in confirmation trying to defuse more tears from coming. "Him making you see and feel everything." She bowed her head there.
"I noticed it was when I had an intense feeling. Not only happiness, but anything that may provoke me to feel strongly. It was like an automatic signal to him. I had to zen so much while I was on the run because whenever I accidentally let an intense feeling out, they would come, and I was gone again. When you showed up, I couldn't stop my emotions from happening. At first I thought you were one of the goons, but..."
Zim could sense she was thinking of something. He could sense what she was thinking about wouldn't be something he would be happy about at all. "I strived to find you again no matter what, Gaz."
She smiled at that. "You really are too special."
"What is on your mind, Gaz?" He asked slowly.
"That fucker connected to me at this level where if you kill him, I die."
"Yeah?" This time it was a cautious drawled out question.
Taking a deep breath, she scrunched her eyebrows together. "End my life, Zim." Watching him raise up with his eyes wide, she reached out to him. "I'm prepared and it will end all this."
Clenching his jaw and fists, he stared down at her comprehending this request. Angered by it. She was acting selfless, he knew that, but he couldn't have it.
"He has to die, Zim." Gaz reasoned with him.
Opening and closing his claws, he kept staring down at her in unbridled emotion.
"I love you more than anything, Zim, but you know he needs to go."
In a very monotonic voice, he spoke. "You don't know this life form. He may of bonded with you, but if I kill you, AND I won't, he will still live while you cease to. I want you to get this, Gaz."
Closing her eyes with the hopelessness she was feeling, she looked at those angry eyes of his. "At first he never did something remotely perverted to me, but it soon became like that. I was stripped, Zim. He felt me up. Told me that if I didn't at least cooperate that it will be the end of my own family's lives. Even if Dib thought I didn't care for him, I never wanted him to die." She swallowed down hard. "I cooperated and I thought about you. I had to survive as he did that. I hated him. Wanted to kill him. Each time that thought entered my mind of wanting to kill him, he would make me suffer worse." Gaz looked at her arm with a slight hint of regret. "Want to know how he made me suffer the absolute worse was when he took our own baby away. The pain he made me go through as he laughed and told me I deserved it."
Zim unclenched his fists as he listened to her. He slowly went to his knees. "I don't know exactly how to stop him and separate you both, but I do promise you I will. I will not ever lose you again. You hear me?"
"I hear you."
A thought came to mind, a thought that actually scared him. "You want to be killed when..."
"I could of committed suicide? Thing about that is this... I'm not a fool when it comes to what happens to you when you do that, so hell no. Don't ask how I know, I just know. I'd rather not do that."
Examining her scratch again, he wondered. "Is this the only mark?"
"Yes." She replied.
Bending, he kissed her mark not caring if there was still a little blood there. It was her after all. "Did you come in this room for any particular reason?"
"I found it interesting that I did. Like I was supposed to." Gaz smiled at that past memory.
"You really did know how to pilot a ship." His eyes grazed her with open lust.
Feeling the back of his hand barely touching her chest, Gaz moved a little to give him permission if he wanted more. The way he eyed her shirt, she smiled as she lifted it up to remove it. "I love the way you look at me, Zim." She whispered as she stood so she can remove all her clothing standing in front of him practically panting with anticipation.
Zim worshiped his demoness in silence as she stood there. He wondered if that one day would of played out differently, then again possibly not. "You are mines, Gaz." Moving his face closer to that beautiful V, he guided his tongue in enjoying her swift intake of air as she tried to support herself against the panel, but she needed worry when his hands gently held her by her hips as he tasted his demoness. "I won't let you fall." He assured her softly.
"I know. You never had." She breathed out as she tilted her head back.
He loved his name being called out by her. Standing up, he removed his clothing quickly before getting back in front of her, smiling as she gasped again. Moving away to lay on the ground, he looked up to her. "I need you, little Gaz. Do you need me?"
She smiled at him. Watching him position himself as she breathed in harder before she lowered herself on to him. Feeling him fill her as she threw her head back enjoying the sensation. Gazing down at him, she replied. "I will always need you, Zim." As she started to move against him with his hands resting on her outter thighs helping guide her.
Some things started to fall apart on Earth. Cracking apart. People falling into those cracks. Anger was felt in a lab far from where those cracks were occurring as Nathan hooked himself up to one of Professor Membranes most powerful machines in the lab currently, but still not as powerful as the one who escaped his grasp and was currently enjoying that damn alien.
He needed the power flow. He craved it with his eyes alight as his actual form took its presence as opposed to his human one. As the energy went through, he felt laughter tickling at the back of his throat before he let it out. He cackled at the innocent intern who ran in alarmed at the sound. She was fresh out of college. This he noticed. Pretty, but boring in all respects. It didn't stop him from locking the door so she couldn't leave.
Oh he loved her horror on her face when she realized the mistake she did. She thought she was doing a good deed in wanting to save someone until, he jumped off the platform to instantly ram his hand into her throat. He didn't kill her off the bat. He just wanted to play with something for a little bit until she bored him, and how she was pleading in gasping breaths, he knew her life will soon be at an end.
"Don't worry, you won't be breathing much longer, and soon you will meet your family." He promised with sick joy. Her response was to tell him they weren't dead, what little did she know that they soon will be after her life was extinguished.
Really this won't be a long story as opposed to a couple of others that I've done, but hey who would like to guess who might be the one who will kill the slimy bastard? We have our list of players.
