Zim POV

I walked around the ship looking for the room when I came across a pair of bright Red doors, this had to be it.

I took in a deep breath and slowly pushed open the door, shocked that it was open.

I felt heat rise to my cheeks when I saw Gaz sprawled out on the bed… without any clothes. I averted my eyes quickly and grabbed a blanket that was on the ground and walked over to her, wrapping her body in it.

I sighed. "I'm here now Gaz… I won't let him hurt you any longer." I said, more to myself than her because she was sleeping.

I went to pick her up. Once I had her in my arms I was stopped when I tried to make my way to the door. I looked back and growled. That bastard named Red hand cuffed her to the bed.

My PAK leg shot out and broke the strong chain, it wasn't as strong as the chains that held me prisoner, but it was still pretty strong.

I turned back once Gaz was free , but froze when I saw who was at the door… I was caught.

"So, what do you have to say for yourself Zim?" Red asked leaning against the door way, arms crossed.

"What do you mean my tallest?" I asked him.

"Why are you taking my mate?" he asked.

I growled at hi. "She's my mate. She has chosen me to be her mate, not you." I glared at him.

"Zim, she's my mate." He growled at me.

"No she's mine."

"I'm taller that makes me better than you, she deserves to be with me Zim."

"But you make her go through pain Tallest Red."

"That is not true!" he growled.

Gaz started to stir in my arms. "What's going on." She mumbled but I ignored her.

"When I walked in here she wasn't even clothed." I growled at him.

"You aren't supposed to be here anyways." he growled back.

Out of nowhere Gaz leaped out of my arms and attacked Red, tackling him to the ground. "You aren't going to get away with what you did Red." She growled and began to punch his squidly-spooch.

I was tempted to let her keep punching him, but I was the one that should be hurting him not her. "Get off him Gaz. Let me do this." I growled as my Pak legs shot out and grabbed Gaz by the waist, making her hover in the air.

He may be taller than me, but that doesn't mean that he could do these horrible things to Gaz. "I grabbed him, somehow managing to pull him up so that he wasn't touching the ground but also so that he would be able to see my eyes.

"No one messes with my mate and now you will pay." I said, bringing my fist back and then letting it go, socking him in the mouth.

"Guards!" he yelled.

I punched him again. "Coward." I growled at him and ran, Gaz being carried by my PAK legs as I ran down the hallways desperately looking for Dib and Gir. I heard a screech coming from the other hallway and then a shush. "Gir! Be quiet! Do you want to wake up the whole massive?"

"I do." Gir said. Why did that seem familiar?

I ran in the direction of the voices and met up with Dib and Gir. "The guard is behind me, we have to get going NOW!" I said and looked behind him to see that there were two escape pods equipped for one or two people… no more.

"You and Gir get in that one, Gaz and I will take this one." I said and got in the escape pod, closing the shield and they did the same.

"Where are we going Zim?" Gaz asked as I sat her down on the ground.

I jumped in the only chair that was in here and pushed the button the read escape.

"I don't know Gaz. We can't go back to earth, it was destroyed. Maybe we could go to the planet Jet. I hear it's very welcoming, and that their species are very similar to us Irkens." I told her as a hole opened on the massive and sucked us into space, a few second later the other escape pod flew past us.

I entered the coordinates to the planet called Jet and put the escape pod on auto pilot.

With a heavy squidly-spooch I turned around in my chair. My PAK legs shot out to carry her and place her on my lap.

"What did he do to you Gaz?" I asked her trying to stay calm and not alarm her.

"I don't want to talk about it." She said looking away.

My grip around her tightened and she flinched as if she were terrified.

"What did he do?" I asked again.

"Nothing Zim! He didn't do anything!" she said.

"I don't believe you."

"Well that's your problem." She said, crossing her arms. I looked down at them and saw that she had bruises.

"He forced you to do something didn't he?"

"What are you talking about?" she asked trying to ignore the question I asked.

I looked at her. "He molested you." I whispered. "Why else would you be lying there naked on the bed. I had to wrap you in this blanket Gaz."

Gaz looked down, a blush forming in her cheeks, not looking me in the eyes, not shooting back a witty response.

"I should have killed him right then and there. That bastard isn't going to mess with my mate." I growled tempted to press the button that brought us back to the massive.

"What did you just say?" she asked.

"Eh?"

"You just called me your mate." Gaz said.

I looked around the ship, looking for some sort of excuse. "You must be hearing things Gaz." I told her.

"No, I heard you say it." She said a small smile reaching her face.

"You lie! Lies I tell you! L-" I started to yell out but she grabbed my cheeks and planted a kiss on my lips.

My eyes widened, but I smiled and kissed her back.

She pulled away and looked me in the eyes. "Thank you for saving me again." She said.

I looked at her… "I should have gotten you some clothes." I whispered more to myself than to her, she looked too tempting in just that towel… I don't think I would be able to resist her like that.

My PAK legs lifted her up and she let a squeal. I set her down on the ground and I took off my shirt.

"Here put this on." I told her, handing over my shirt, it seemed to be long enough for her to wear as a dress or something.

She looked at it and then at the blanket. She stood up and grabbed it.

"Look away." She said.

I rolled my eyes and turned the other way, there was so much temptation to just turn and look at her changing but I had to respect her, I don't want her to think I'm anything like that bastard Red.

"There. You could look now." She said.

I turned and saw that I was right, my shirt fit her like a night gown, went down all the way to mid-calf.

This was worse than the blanket; she was wearing my shirt… I had no idea why, but it seemed to turn me on.

I patted my lap and she sat on it, leaning against my chest.
