Okay. I finally get back on just in time to be on probation cuz my grades suck again. (pulls out hair at the injustice of it all) Yeah. So I'm gonna try to pull an all nighter here. I think I can do it, with enough soda. (chugs soda, falls asleep on keyboard)
This is dedicated to Karvian and Chineseisgreek2me, cuz they seem to be the only 2 people interested. And… uh… this fic has gotten kinda far off topic but…yeah.

Zim sat in the corner, sulking. His arms and torso were wrapped in thick white bandages. His skin tingled as it tried to cover the holes which had been so recently torn. Gaz wasn't in the base, she had gone out to... Wherever it is this lice stuff was gotten from. Zim made a mental note to destroy all the Earth's supply of it when this was over. Having Irken DNA floating around would not in any way help the mission.
The reason he was sulking was that he had a dilemma. What as he going to do about this Gaz human. He could always kill her, but that would make the Dib-human really really mad at him. He had discovered through various 'video games' that humans were more powerful when they were pissed off. NOT THAT ANY POWER COULD DEFEAT ZIM!
He was still undecided when the front door slammed shut. He glared at the ceiling, he had ordered the computer to tell him when she was coming back.
He reached behind him for his gun, which he hadn't let out of his sight since the human had entered the base.
He dropped it, however, when a green jar came flying at his head, top speed. He caught it out of the air, before it shattered on the floor. He glared at Gaz, who was standing in the doorway.
"I'm going back to my house, there's a group tournament starting in ten minutes and I Will. Not. Miss. It. Comprende?"
Zim nodded. Gaz turned on her heel and walked back out of the base. He stared after her, trying to figure her out. It didn't take much research to discover that the female mind was completely incomprehensible to the males of this planet. Zim didn't wonder at this one bit. If all Earth females were this strange, it was a wonder the species had survived this long without artificial propagation. He suspected there was some sort of blackmail involved.
But that was of no concern to him. The humans would be wiped out soon enough. Slowly, trying not to do any additional damage, Zim pulled off his boots, wincing as they pulled further at the slashes up the sides of both his calves. He marveled at the damage he, ZIM had done, even to himself. He didn't know of any injury an Irken could sustain that would damage their body so badly, (Irkens are pretty indestructible) and he ZIM had not only managed it, but lived through it.
The human had helped, he guessed, but that was minimal. He was completely assured that he would have lived anyway. He cold not be defeated. He was, after all, ZIM!

Mixing some of the louse meds with the mixture his computer had created, he created a kind of organic 'false skin.' this he applied to the four slashed up his legs, with a lot of care. When any one else was around, he would not have flinched in the slightest. But since no one was around, he let his body have free reign of itself.
When then that was done, he wrapped more of the bandages around the new skin. It was truly great to have his feet so far away. He guessed he was taller than Dib now. He was actually about two inches shorter, though he could not admit it under pain of death. He would wait a week or so to contact the Tallest. Or at least until he could get rid of these stupid human bandages. Why did they have to be so white? Irken medical supplies were all orange, a proper color. A color at all.
Nothing to do until then but wait.
Well, wait and yell at GIR.

Gaz opened the front door to her house, and heard the unmistakable tune of the Mysterious Mysteries theme song. She stalked into the TV room, facing her brother, who was glued to the TV like some sort of tiny rodent glued to the back end of a large bus. 0.o WTF?
"I'm going to use the computer for the next three hours, ten minutes, and thirteen seconds. If you disturb me, they will never find what is left of your corpse."
She said this with a deadly calm, as if she were informing him that it might rain later.
"Where have you been all night? It's been like three hours!"
"Out."
"Out where?"
"Out doing secretive things. Like your stupid eye meetings."
"Tell me where you've been or I'll tell dad and he'll put up the force field around the house again."
"I've been at Zim's."
Dib was instantly up, his show forgotten.
"At Zim's doing what? Did he try to brain-wipe you?"
"No. Don't be stupid. He waved one of his dumb lasers at me, though. It was kinda funny."
"Those are real, Gaz. They can KILL you!"
"Yeah? And?"
"Did he die?"
"No." "Hmm… Maybe I should go…"
"Leave him alone, doofus. Go watch your stupid paranormal show.Play with Zim in the morning."
"Fine. But first thing in the morning…"
"Yeah, whatever." Gaz walked up the stairs to the computer room, a long night of gaming awaiting her.

Note to anybody who writes: I see this a lot. GIR's anme is uppercase because it's an acronym. Zim's name IS NOT AN ACRONYM. Therefore, it is lowercase. Comprende?
(comprende? you understand? In Spanish)
