Déjà vu
Everyone was sent home and school was closed for 3 days to continue the investigation of the missing student's deaths. Ann was concerned about Nix's safety and offered him a ride home, but Mike only snorted in disgust. Mike glared coldly at Nix, and muttered something along the lines like, "it's all your fault nothing weird happened until you showed up."
Ann ignored her arrogant son and tried talking some sense into him. Nix shook his head and asked to be left alone for a while, she protested but he had already left.
She had no reason to ground him because of his horrible experience today and thought of pursuing him to talk. But she thought better and realized to give him time to get out of shock.
The reason why he wanted to be left alone was to think, the other was to place as much distance away from Mike as possible. He had an unhealthy urge to stab that no good human in the heart.
Nix couldn't believe he survived that. It defiantly wanted to harm him but for some reason it was taunting and toying with him like this was some sort of child's game. But what confused him was that Dib human. Why did he help him escape suspicion? Didn't Dib want him dead?
The human baffled him completely and he just wanted to shove these thoughts away as he walked down the dusty street towards his house. But it was impossible to not to wonder what is exactly going on. Could it have something to do with Iris?
His thoughts were interrupted by a familiar voice, followed by a sound of footsteps coming from behind him.
"NIX! WA…WAIT UP!" Dib came running from behind him and stopped in front of him gasping for breath.
When Dib saw that Nix would have been exposed he was psyched about it, but he had quickly spotted Nix's guardian along with her son and realized that he was being cared by an actual human family. Which meant that he wasn't a threat to earth for now, but he was still confused with why he was staying with a human family. He knew they were human because Mike had been to the same school he was in ever since middle school.
Nix's eyes narrowed, "what is it Dib, if it's an apology I won't accept it. If it weren't for you and your stupid ginormous head, this wouldn't have happened in the first place.
"HEY, for the last time my head isn't BIG," Dib said recovering, his brown eyes looking the short Irken up and down, "why does everyone say that?" he grumbled to himself.
"Because it is," Nix replied rather moodily.
"I wasn't talking to you," Dib said defensively.
Nix raised a non-existent brow, "then who were you talking to?"
The teenager eyes widened for a second, "um, nothing forget I said that."
Dib wanted to mentally slap himself for making himself look like a fool. Stupid, stupid why did I just do that in front of him. Geeze I have to stop talking to myself. Oh crap I'm thinking to myself, wait that's normal.
"Uh huh, very nice Dib you're wasting my time here with your psychosis," Nix said with a hint of venom in his voice and started to walk away again. He really didn't feel like being bothered by these pathetic humans right now and Dib was no help.
"WA-WAIT I HAVE TO ASK YOU SOMETHING! Dib screamed extending his hand.
Nix whirled on him and hissed, "What is it HYUMAN! WHAT!
Dib froze, that was the first time he'd heard Nix call him that but he shrugged it off quickly, "Um Nix do you happen to know anyone by the name of Zim?"
At first Dib thought he saw a hint of recognization crossover Nix's face but it turned blank and transformed into a mask of confusion quickly.
"Who?" Nix asked in a confused voice, scratching the back of his head to figure out who Dib was talking about. This Zim sounded oddly familiar but he couldn't grasp exactly why.
"So you don't know who I'm talking about? Dib said with disappointment, he turned around and cursed.
"No, why should I know about this human known as Zim or is it a pet of some sort?" Nix asked, getting curious.
Dib turned and faced him then laughed, taking his glasses off and wiped them clean from the tears that came streaming down his face.
"Nix…Zim is an Irken," Dib had calmed down a little. Dib was hoping to see Nix jump up in recognization but the little Irken stared at him like he had something stuck on his face.
"A what? Nix asked, slightly backing away. Dib was crazier than he'd thought, but this Irk..ken did sound familiar. He could of sworn he'd heard the word years ago when he was still trapped in that facility. But where did he hear the word from.
Dib raised his brow in shock, "What, you don't know what you are? Nix you're an Irken."
At first Nix looked at him like he'd lost it but Nix seemed to show some realization, with a mixture of confusion. This was getting interesting, Nix hadn't a slightest idea about himself. But how was it possible? Did he have amnesia or was it something else, he had to know.
Dib had triggered a lost memory Nix forgot about when he was trapped in that containment tube within the facility a few years ago. He had heard a mechanical voice in his head mention something about Irk and Irkens, but he wanted to know how the Dib knew so much about him and who exactly is or was this Zim. Nix had to find out how he ended up in that facility and why?
But Dib was so far his only hope at finding out, much to his discomfort.
Nix sighed, "Dib, I don't know if I can trust you or not but I need your help."
The teenager broke into an expression of disbelief; his eyes wide open in shock, "Wait wha?"
"Are you deaf? I said I needed your help," Nix sneered, getting irritated.
"Yes, I heard but I can't believe it. I mean Zim never asked for help," Dib said.
"Do I obviously look like Zim?" Nix hissed, fighting the urge to throw Dib across the sidewalk.
"Um, you kinda do," the boy replied, ignoring Nix's growing anger.
Nix growled and shoved his fist into his pants pockets in frustration, kicking some dirt onto the pavement.
Dib could tell that Nix had some anger issues, but he seemed in well control of it. Otherwise several of the Hi Skool students would have been beaten to a pulp from teasing the alien for his appearance.
Dib cleared his throat to get the attention of the fuming alien, "um Nix I'm going to head home, I have work to do."
Nix stared at Dib, recovering from his anger, "Dib, I want to come."
"Ok… wait wha?" Dib's mouth dropped opened from hearing what he just heard.
"You heard me I want to come," Nix said firmly, but with a slightly insecure voice that trembled slightly.
"B..But why?" Dib asked.
"Because you might have a few things that could help at your house," Nix said, crossing his arms impatiently.
Dib stood there and thought about it for a minute. Bringing an alien into his house, what was he thinking? And Gaz would surely tear him limb from limb if he brought Nix there. But Nix looked like he would do the same, but somewhere he thought he saw fear flash across his face.
It was like Nix didn't want to be left alone and he had seen something terrifying. Then he remembered the incident at school. What could have caused Nix to become so fearful? What exactly did he see; Dib had to find out later.
Dib sighed regretfully, "Ok, but be warned my sister isn't to be bothered got it. Unless…" Dib gulped, "you want to end up with your face rearranged."
Nix nodded and agreed to avoid Dib's sister Gaz.
It took 15 minutes to reach the Membrane resident. *Dib and Gaz's last name isn't really Membrane but in here it is*
Dib gingerly opened the door and walked in with Nix trailing behind.
Gaz was sitting on the sofa as usual playing with her DSI, and seemed to notice Nix without removing her attention from the game, "Who the hell is that Dib?"
"Um, this is Nix the alien I was talking about," Dib said with pride.
Gaz growled, "Whatever, just as long as you two leave me alone I'm fine."
Nix looked at Dib questionly, "Is she always like that?"
"Yup," Dib nodded, and began showing Nix mostly unimportant things like Bigfoot or stupid things that didn't make sense.
"Dib you must be watching too much of that stupid show. I think it's called Mysterious Mysteries or something," Nix pointed out from between a bored yawn.
"Hey, you watch that show. It's my favorite!" Dib smiled, and looked excited.
Nix's maroon eye twitched from underneath his goggles, he hated that show, "Sure it is."
Most of the important stuff Dib said he had was downloaded on to his labtop, but he wanted to show him something he had in the basement first before he showed him the labtop. Dib seemed excited to have someone to talk to about his paranormal obsessions, but it really annoyed Nix and he hoped Dib didn't have any connections to Iris.
When they entered the basement, Dib pulled out a large metallic container.
"Ok, Nix this was something that was left by Zim four years ago. I was wondering if you might have any ideas on how to fix him.
Nix was slightly confused when Dib said the word him. But his curiosity began to get a hold of him.
Dib typed in the password and the door slid open to reveal the same small robot that had been stalking him.
Nix's eyes widened in fear and he uttered a small whimper.
LOL, Nix thinks Gir is bloody Gir and is scared out of his mind. PLEASE REVIEW!
