Pulling out his PAK legs, Zim glared at Jack. "You don't think this is hard enough? I closed off all his memories since our first kiss!" he exclaimed.
"Zim! There are other ways you can handle this! Making him forget everything and hate you isn't the answer!"
Curled around Dib protectively at this point, Rose's eyes widened suddenly in realization of something. "...Y-You weren't planning on aborting these babies, were you...?" she asked.
"WH-WHAT? NO! I would NEVER do that! I'll keep him with me till he's come to term, then he can go home. I already wiped his father's mind..."
"And what are you planning on doing with him until then? What exactly are you planning on telling him? You can't exactly hide a pregnancy from him!"
"I wasn't planning on it." Zim said, arming his PAK legs again. "He used to always expect stupid experiments and such from me. He will think nothing of it. I will make sure he is unconscious when he gives birth. Then I will let him go home after he has healed. After that, I'll leave the earth for good." he said.
"That's not just 'some stupid experiment', Zim! You can't just make him think of them as nothing but 'some stupid experiment'! Because he's pregnant, he already has a bond with those babies as their mother! And that's not something you can just break up that easily! Even if you did let him go afterwards, do you really think he would just shrug the entire incident off and leave, knowing that you were keeping his babies to yourself?"
PAK legs slumping a little, Zim looked away. "There's nothing else I can do...He hates me no matter what..." he said.
"No, he doesn't, Zim! He doesn't hate you! He was just upset because he thinks you broke up with him! But I know there must have been more to that story than what he was telling us! You don't seem like the kind of person who would just break up with him! And I'm certain he must have just taken something you said wrong! There was still a chance you two could have worked things out!"
"NO THERE WASN'T!" Zim sniffled, wiping his eyes. "JUST GIVE HIM TO ME!" he exclaimed.
"Zim, if you take him, all it will serve to do is prove his point! From what he's told us, he thinks you only consider his feelings to be true love if he wants to sleep with you! You should be trying to convince him though that love has nothing to do with whether he wants to sleep with you or not! Otherwise, he'll just continue to believe that your feelings for him were tied only to wanting sex!"
"I've TRIED telling him that! I've tried telling him in every way I can think of! He never believes me!" Zim struck out, pinning Jack to the far wall and stepping closer to Rose. "Give him to me!" he exclaimed.
One of Zim's spider legs piercing his shoulder, Jack let out a pained noise as he was roughly shoved into the wall, struggling nonetheless to pull free.
"Jack!" Rose returned her scared eyes to Zim, who was standing over her now. She tightened her grip on Dib. "Please, Zim! Please don't just give up on your relationship with him! I know it can be difficult to get things through to him, but that's just how things are when you're dealing with a teenager! He needs time to think things over!" she tried to get through to him.
But Zim refused to listen to her anymore. "Give. Him. To. Me." he emphasized his words even more.
"NO! I'm not going to let you hurt him anymore! Hasn't he already been through enough? He was happiest when he was with YOU, Zim! If you take his memories away of all the bad times, then you're taking all his memories of the good times away too! You're leaving him with nothing, Zim! You're sending him back into a life that has nothing good to offer him! You're sending him back into a life he'll be miserable in!"
"JUST GIVE HIM TO ME!" Zim refused to listen to even one more word Rose had to say to him. Using his last two PAK legs, he then pinned her up against the wall as well. "It seems you're better off not knowing what has happened either." he growled as he went to pick Dib up delicately in his arms, holding him bridal style. "Lucky for you, I don't have time to wait for the mind wipe function to recharge." he said before walking to the door then setting Rose back down onto the couch gently, not wanting to hurt her or her unborn child. "Good bye." he said, pulling his PAK legs back into his PAK, letting Jack fall to the ground in the process before he turned heel and ran for his base.
"No! Dib!" Rose screamed as all she could do was watch helplessly. Then, when she had finally recovered from the shock of the situation, she crawled over to where Jack was laying, his shoulder bleeding heavily. "J-Jack...W-We need to get you to a hospital..." she said, having to pull her mind away from Dib for the time being, at least certain that Zim wouldn't harm Dib while he had him.
Meanwhile, back with Zim, Zim had by then rushed Dib back to his base and down into his lab. He lay Dib down gently onto a small bed he had set up in a large cage sitting in the middle of the room. He had to make sure Dib didn't escape until after the smeets were born. He then proceeded to pet the hybrid's head gently, stroking his hair lovingly before Dib could wake up. He at least wanted to get a few more minutes of comfort in before he was hated again.
His antennae twitching slightly from all the small touches, Dib let out a small groan in his unconscious state.
Kissing the top of Dib's head, Zim smiled sadly before checking the clock and sighing. "He'll be waking up in a few minutes..." he said to himself, laying Dib gently in the bed, under the covers. He then left the cage, closing the cell door behind him.
"Ugh...Mmm...Wha-? Where...Where am I?" Dib asked as he blinked his eyes open, the room he was in a horrible blur.
"Hello, Dib-thing." Zim greeted him, standing right outside the cage and watching him.
"H-Huh? Wh-What?" Dib sat up suddenly, looking about the place with wide eyes. "Wh-What's going on here?" he nearly panicked before noticing Zim standing outside the cage. Wasting absolutely no time at all, Dib was back up in an instant, running over to where the cage's bars were and shaking them. "What the hell is going on, Zim? Let me out of here!" he demanded, glaring daggers at the Irken.
"I don't think so, Dib. Just sit back and relax. You're going to be here for a few months."
"What are you planning, Zim? Huh? HUH?" Dib continued to struggle even more. "Just you wait! I'll find a way out of here, and when I do, I'll stop whatever the hell it is you're planning on doing, you horrible, alien monster!" he screamed, eyes narrowing even more on the Irken. He had no idea how he had gotten in there, nor did he remember Zim capturing him.
"Just keep thinking that, Dib." Zim sighed before glancing at Dib's belly, a small smile creeping onto his face when he thought Dib wasn't paying attention.
Looking up just in time, however, Dib noticed Zim's smile. "What the hell is so goddamn funny?" he screamed at the other, finding nothing about this moment to be amusing at all.
Flinching, Zim shook his smile off. "Nothing, Dib. Now go REST." he glared at the hybrid so as to keep up the act.
"Do you honestly think I'm that stupid?" Dib yelled at him, his glare never once letting up. "Who knows what horrible things you might try to do to me in my sleep!" he exclaimed, shaking the bars to the cage as roughly as he could. Dropping his eyes down for just a split second, it was at that very moment that his eyes grew perfectly wide as he for the first time realized he was missing 2 fingers on each hand. "What the-?" he brought them up to stare at with a horrified look on his face. "What the hell did you do to me?" he screamed.
"You know...experiments." Zim waved his hand in the air, not elaborating and rather allowing Dib to come up with his own conclusions about what had happened to him.
"You fucking asshole!" Dib screamed, his body beginning to shake now. "Whatever it is you did to me, undo it now! Change me back to the way I was before!" he demanded, beginning to throw himself against the bars of the cage in a desperate attempt to escape. This couldn't be happening. It couldn't be fucking happening. He was just having a terrible nightmare he kept telling himself in his mind, throwing his body weight harder and harder against the cage but finding himself getting worn out far faster than what was normal for him.
