Once they blinked back to his hidden base, Zim let go of her hand as he stepped away from her. Gaz watched him and waited to see what he would say to her. She already had an inkling, so she stayed patient.

"You felt it was his own energy in the room. Not the other ones, but him." Zim started off saying as his back was turned from her before he faced her again. "I wasn't going to ask since I wanted to be patient, but now I want to know. Please tell me what exactly happened there."

His tone sounded patient. Understanding even, but she sensed from his body there would be more when it came to the energy comment. Taking a deep breath, she told him everything. Every detail of what happened there. Most of the time she didn't focus on him, she decided to look to the sheets of her bed as she spoke, and when she ended she felt like she never slept a day in her life. There was no immediate response from him so she waited.

"Do you feel something for him now?" Came his haunted question.

"His essence went inside of me when I last knocked him out. I spent all last night dreaming of all the things that happened."

"Do you love him now?"

Gaz turned her face to look at him, his eyes read fear in them, she shook her head. "No I don't, Zim. You are the only one I love."

"I know it is crazy to ask such a question of you, but I must know. Do you like him or possibly...?" He saw the hurt in her eyes. She told him everything and he saw she went through so much, but he was accusing her of infidelity.

"Lust him? Is this what you are wishing to know from me, Zim?" He nodded his head to her and even that felt like a slap to her face. "I swore everyday how much I love you. How much I love your touches. You want to know how I feel about him? I don't love him at all. How can I love someone who does that to me? Tell me how I could, Zim. Let me know because apparently you think I do."

"I know you love me. That I don't doubt, but..."

Gaz waited to hear him finish that sentence out, but he didn't as it hung in the air. Even though he said he didn't doubt her, his actions say otherwise to her. "I didn't suffer from Stockholm Syndrome, Zim. You say you don't doubt me, but your tone of voice and actions right now show clearly you don't trust me." Choking back some tears and anger she wanted out of there right now.

Destruction was fantastic. Walking amongst a young panicky race as they braced for cover as meteorites came showering down knocking into buildings, smashing cars, and killing, Strange loved tripping over some people as he laughed when they screamed at an approaching fast rock barreling down at them. Smile becoming so large that it threatened to take over his whole face, he approached a rather large building, and easily went in. There were humans milling around in there talking and wondering of what ways to stop the meteorites. Strange knocked many of them out since they weren't his concern. The point of his concern was talking to other scientists in his authoritative manner. Smiling at them, he materialized before them all causing the one nearest to him to scream out in surprise and fall down on the ground. Strange smiled at the woman on the ground before pushing her to the hallway. Seeing the others cower except for Gaz's father standing tall as he stared down at him. He was a surprisingly tall human. Also since he had no power, he was surprised he didn't fear him, but that mattered little as he knocked out the others in one clear swoop.

"So this is what you look like. You won't get away with any of this." Membrane said easily enough. Hands behind his back.

"I can't determine if you are a fool or not, but I have to say that compared to the humans out there and in here, you are certainly the one with the largest guts to stare me down. Especially one without powers."

"Powers are nothing unless you don't have a brain to back them up." He stated simply.

Strange lifted his eyebrow up as he flicked his tail. "That is true. Quite a pity I have to do this." Bringing his hand up he zapped electrocity at him causing Membrane to whip out a gun from behind his back to absorb it before firing it back to him hitting him in the chest. Clutching the burn mark, Strange smiled at him. "Clever weapon there, but..." Bringing everything online in the room around them along with himself he zapped Membrane again knocking him to the ground. Launching very quickly onto his chest he knocked him out. "I apologize. I honestly wanted to see what more that gun could do, but my lover needs you right now."

"You don't trust me anymore do you, Zim?" Gaz asked weakly.

"Gaz, I ah..."

Eyes burning, Gaz said with more force. "Tell me!"

Zim took a step forward to her only to see her take a step back. He hurt her. "I do."

Gaz shook her head as she noted the weakness of his voice. "I don't feel it from you right now." Tears rolling down her cheeks. "So many years and you doubt me now."

"So many years you held me away at arms length." As soon as he said that he wanted to shoot himself for his stupidity.

"You knew why I did that. You knew and I know you lied to me saying to me you understood when you really didn't." Gaz turned her back to him as she felt her heart hurting. "How can I trust you when you toss something like that in my face?"

"Gaz, I ah..." He began again before she turned back again.

"Oh maybe it felt a little nice to feel his lips on mines. Want me to tell you that, Zim? Want me to tell you that I loved when he touched my entire body the way you always touch me? I screamed. Oh Zim I screamed." Seeing his eyes go even more impossibly wider, she added. "I screamed for him to stop. I kissed him to try to get my way just in case he did get out of those cuffs I put him in." Getting in his face she started to push him to the door. "You are the only one I love. The only one I want touching me. The only one I want my honeymoon with. So many times I dreamed of kissing you, but I stopped myself because of Dib. Because I know how crazy he gets. I bring alcohol with me to at least do something I desired to do for so long. Shit, Zim! If you don't trust me or understand how much I love you then I want you to get out of my life right now." Pushing him away from her, she decided to walk out of her own room to start stalking down the hallway. Hearing Zim call to her, she growled out before blinking away from him.

Zim stood in one spot when she did that. He caused it with his jealousy. He probably put her in danger again. They were trying to get her back again and he made her leave with his stupid stupid self. "Computer! Tell me where Gaz went off to." It took what felt like 20 years before he received an answer before popping to the Membrane house and a meteorite storm. Why in the hell wasn't he informed of this? He thought as he ran into the house. "GAZ!" Receiving no answer, he ran everyone in the house to find her gone. Disturbed he went to her fathers lab to find nothing but comatose people and a few dead. Nothing seemed to penetrate through the roof so he felt that one of them came here.

Shortly after arriving to her home she spotted all the meteorites plummeting to the ground doing so much damage that her eyes just went wide with panic. She knew her dad would be at his lab. He would always consider that to be the safest place, so she headed there to find every employee on the ground. Eyes practically bulging, she checked every room until she felt energy in one room in particular.

"Where is my father, Sane?"

Sane approached from behind her quickly placing her against the wall. He just had this feeling after hearing about this on Earth she would show up. "She has him now."

Punching him, she gritted her teeth. "Give him back. I want my dad back!"

"Strange already left his calling card for Zim to find. I'm sorry but you have to come back or else."

Gaz stared at him. "You are starting to sound weak now, Sane." She noted as he zapped her out of there and into a place that obviously wasn't his place. "I want my dad and I want to go home now."

Sane ignored that last part. "We are completely separated from her home. We are in a different area on this planet to prevent you in getting to them easily like before. I am sorry, Gaz, but it has to be done." With that he knocked her out.

Membrane looked around the rather ancient looking dungeon he was in as his leg was chained to the wall. He remained calm as he decided on a way out. He met already with the one in charge. Someone who obviously needed a straight jacket fitted to her. The other one who brought him here was very cozy with her. Telling them that his own daughter will fight them tooth and nail, the woman just scoffed at him and left.

So as he sat there, he noticed a face he didn't see before since he blended in, and hardly seemed to breath. "Hello? My name is Professor Alex Membrane from Earth. Who are you?"

The face looked like it was falling down from its seams, but on closer inspection it looked like it was a normal appearance for this being. "Greetings. Fritag Blaq from Lovaqu System. I'm the son of the president there."

"Nice to meet you. How did you come about being here?" Membrane pressed.

Coughing, the creature looked at its hands and shook its head in disgust. "The Plegerins decided to make war against us."

"Same with the Irken Empire. Also they want to use my daughter to marry her off to one of them."

Fritag looked up sharply at him in alarm. "So we aren't the only ones they are waging a war against. There was another, but his planet finally was destroyed, so they killed the hostage here finally." Breathing hard, he added. "Does your daughter have a lot of power to her? They took a daughter of mines a long time back complaining of lack of power from her."

"They consider her the most powerful thing they have ever encountered."

Sighing, Fritag looked down. "I'm sorry to your daughter then." Looking back up, he said. "There are more then just us and the Irken Empire that they decided to wage a war against."

Leaning against the wall, Membrane surmised. "Then we all must come together and stop them from doing this."

Dun dun dun...
