How was Dib being a jerk, Invader Johnny? I had to look at that chapter again to see it lol.

Me2U2, yes he does care too much at times.

Everclear... Still no declarations of adoration for Dib? I was expecting that. ;)

Studying and cataloging is sometimes a way to go when you don't know who you are dealing with. This Queen he was following around the Massive was a quiet one in retrospect, but Psyllic felt that there was something lying beneath that surface so deep that it probably hadn't been penetrated yet. She barely spoke except to a few that passed her way, and to a little robot who for the most part was mostly stupid in his opinion, but the way she spoke to it was like a mother speaking to a young child making her darkness within her disappear for a moment for the sake of this little bot. All in all it was endearing.

Stopping in the corridor, she paused to look out of the many observation windows just to stare mostly at nothingness until she did the most surprising thing, she peered directly in his direction. He felt her gaze penetrate within him. Did she know he was there or was this coincidence?

"You will meet your doom." She eerily said. "I know you're there. Show yourself."

He couldn't, but he couldn't resist the urge to reach out to touch her.

Feeling something, she took a step back. "Zim is the only one allowed to touch me. Show yourself coward."

"What are you?" Psyllic refused to show his face to her just yet.

"You will be plunged into a nightmare world."

Making a face at her, he was surprised when she released a ball of energy at him making him yelp. Glancing over to her, she was smirking at him, but she never moved, but he did as he quickly ran to her to slam her against the observation window by the throat. No one could see him, but she felt him as she kicked at him and struggled. Psyllic was surprised for someone so small she was strong. "Oh you little thing, you may come from a miserable planet, but there is more to you. Why choose an Irken of all things for a mate when you could of had anyone else." He stated breathing into her ear before letting her go to disappear.

Gaz was coughing as her eyes glared at every guard coming towards her including Zim. As all the guards questioned her, she silently looked over to Zim in a silent way hoping he will hear what her mind was saying right now.

Telling everyone to disperse, he came up to her. "Gaz?"

"Wasn't expecting that. My head hurts right now from what he did."

"We should get you checked over." Zim said running his hand through her hair.

"For what? Head slammed against window and throat being constricted? I'm stronger than that, Zim." Closing her eyes, she leaned against him. "Although I'm not complaining with what you are doing with your hands."

"I don't want anything to happen to you, Gaz-love." He whispered in concern.

Jack wasn't in his crib so Tak went to walk downstairs to see Dib sitting on the couch laughing and talking. Curious, but not wanting to interrupt, she stayed where she was to watch noticing he had a small table with his computer on it to his side with Jack on his lap allowing him to touch the keyboard with those tiny little clawed hands of his.

"You are very observant. I'm proud of you." Dib told Jack. "Oh, what do you want to do now? Want to show me?" Hearing a tiny sound issued, she could literally hear Dib smiling as he continued to encourage him. "Don't be nervous. Never be nervous to explore. Use your instincts. You have great instincts for someone so young." Seeing tentative hands press on the keyboard again there was a pause before he issued a cheer making Jack laugh. "Told you. You are a natural."

Tak smiled at the scene in front of her. She contemplated if she should join them or not, but decided to watch them both interact for a little longer before finally walking down there fully. "Hi."

Turning to look at her, Dib and Jack smiled at her. "Morning. Hungry?" Dib asked.

Shaking her head, she went to sit on the other side of the couch to see Jack pointing back at the computer again. "What are you guys doing?"

"Well for once, he has made equations fun. He is smart enough to figure out what needs to be done without me saying much." Hugging him, he kissed him on the cheek. "I wonder where you got it from."

Watching how young Dib is, but also act mature around Jack, Tak tried to keep anything what she was feeling at bay. "Most likely you."

"Maybe, but you are quite intelligent."

"How smart am I to screw so much up? The only thing I didn't was birthing him." Being close to breaking down, she excused herself to go into the kitchen to pretend to find something to eat, but all she did was rest her forehead against the fridge in there.

Psyllic met up with his associate in a park on Earth. He found it rather funny to be doing this with someone of this caliber as he sat down almost roughly next to him on the parks table on the other side of him. Of course his associate was amused at seeing his face. "This table is disgusting. You did this on purpose to annoy me."

Watching a couple of women chatting amongst themselves not so far from them, he smirked. "Or I did this just so I can have some recreation later on off the clock."

Taking a glance over his shoulder at the women, he turned his face back to him. "I thought you could keep those urges to yourself."

"Oh I can, but this isn't the urge you think I'm referring to." Chuckling evilly, his face went serious. "What happened?"

"She knew I was there before I said a thing. She spoke to me." Psyllic answered. "I did ask her what she was."

"Yes and she willingly gave you all that information over tea and cookies after you braided one another's hair. Seriously, Psyllic, I know you are more careful than this."

"I attacked her." He admitted.

His companion went silent as his face went unreadable. "Idiot. You are far more older than me, but what you did was a rookie move." Leaning over, he hissed out, "Why don't you crawl into their bed next time they are making love and join them." Resuming his previous position, he glared at him. "Have you ever done anything this stupid before in all your life?"

Honestly he never did because he learned early on after several harsh training lessons on what not to do before gaining favor from Matronly. "Anything about that Irken?" He decided to ask.

"She came in looking like death warmed over, passed out, and Dib took her home. It will be a matter of time. Of course he isn't in today since he is working from home." His companion informed him.

"You'll let me know?"

"Psyllic we will both know when she fails us because she will just explode. What I put in her is untraceable." Taking in a satisfying breath in. "In a way, I want to see her go boom."

He had no clue right now if he had a bigger hate for Irkens or his companion, but seeing this assassin came with a very deadly reputation it might be because he wanted to see more death caused by him.

Gaz was in full combat mode in the training room against another Irken who was actually becoming frightened of her own Queen with the way she was coming at her. Gaz did build up that solid reputation during the invasion, and at first her partner wasn't completely believing in it until Gaz's calm demeanor turned completely deadly. The female tried her best to attack back, but was met with deadly force making her eyes becoming even larger to one point and fear for her own life.

As for Gaz, she wasn't going to kill her partner, but she did need to work out her frustrations from earlier. In a way she felt sorry for her. Sad she didn't remember her name at the moment, but when she was in full rage mode, she barely remembered her own name. She only stopped when she heard Zim's voice call out.

"I think that is enough for now."

The female Irken watched how calm her Queen went the moment the Tallest came in making her believe that Gaz was an enigma until Gaz spoke to her directly.

"Don't worry, I'm quite real." Gaz said slyly. "Glad for the work out."

"Your welcome, my Queen." Bowing to her, she then bowed to Zim before hastily making her exit.

"I'd be better off practicing with you, Zim." She remarked.

Walking over to face her, he placed a gentle hand under her chin. "Oh?"

"Well what if I get... Excited and I want to blow off some extra steam? You do know how I get." She hinted.

He was surprised she was thinking like this after being attacked earlier, but next thing he knew he was on his back. "You must want to relive something with me again."

Smirking down at him, she said, "We almost got pretty far that night in the mall until I went nutty."

Kicking himself up, he landed easily on his feet to face his wife. "I have a question for you since we didn't catch any energy readings, how did you sense him? In the monitors it shows you noticed him."

"You could always sense shit from a mile away." Was her simple reply as she dodged some of his movements before he managed to swipe her feet from under her making her fall to the ground hard on her back. Instead of gasping or crying about it, she chuckled at it. "You are so cute, Zim."

"Invaders aren't cute, Gaz." Zim reminded her.

Getting on her feet, she placed her body against his. "Right now you are." Pinching his rear, she quickly turned around to toss him over her back. Seeing him on the ground, she smiled as she went to quickly straddle him. "And now you are sexy." Running her hands up his uniform, she smiled at his instant purring

Zim instantly locked the doors down to the room to allow his wife to have her way with him.

Dib found Tak outside in the back yard with her disguise on at least sitting against the tree. What do you do with someone so completely different now? She hardly paid him any attention as he walked towards her. After she left to the kitchen, he did think about going to follow her, but the way she was he figured to leave her be until Jack got sleepy again. So after placing him in the bassinet downstairs, he went to check on her to find her out here. It was sad to him.

Tak made believe she didn't see him come out though her mind was pretty filled with what he already told her so far to know she was an awful being. Seeing him approach, she had to admit to that kind face, and thought of him as attractive. He did smell too agreeable to her right now as he got down on his knees in front of her to rest to reach out to touch her face gently. "I don't think I want to know who I really am." She muttered.

"Why?"

"Because I have this feeling deep down that I am truly this hideous thing." Closing her eyes, she tried to shut everything out from around her. "I should be dead."

Moving himself to sit by her side, he wrapped her up in his arms. "No, don't do that to yourself, Tak."

"I can tell you are this good guy and you should tell me to leave now."

Dib let out a breathy laugh. "If you remember my sister, she will tell you how stubborn I am."

His scent was penetrating inside of her making her insides react. She had to push away from him. "No, Dib."

Tak was gentle when she said it, but it didn't feel like it when she scooted away from him making him stop her by placing himself over her, but not pressing in. He just levitated above her own body looking down. "If you were truly this horrible female, I wouldn't bother spending this much time trying to help you."

"Something is happening to me right now with you this close to me. I'm afraid." Tak whispered out in a pained voice.

"What are you afraid of?"

"Attacking you like you first described what I did to you. Please get off of me." Tak pleaded.

Back and forth feelings aside, he decided to listen to her pleads as he stood up to help her up. Panting, he told her he needed to do something in the bedroom for a while so she needed to keep an eye on the baby. When she followed him inside and she sat on the couch to listen to the radio that was playing in the background, he ran up to his bedroom to lock his door, unzip his pants, and take care of something on him. He wouldn't physically attack her right now and as much as he did enjoy being that close to her, he couldn't act on his instinct so he settled on doing some vigorous ministrations with himself to ease that tension.

Downstairs, Tak heard Jack fussing so she went to pick him up to hold him to her chest. She hummed till he fell asleep against her and not wanting to tear him off, she got into a better position to ensure Jack would be safe with her as she closed her eyes. "I love you." She murmured out of nowhere.

Snuggling against Zim, Gaz ran her hand softly up his abdomen to his chest then back down enjoying the softness. "I needed this." She said softly as she placed a kiss against his chest. "Funny how it feels like forever since we've done anything when technically it hasn't been that long."

"I know what you mean, little Gaz." He tried not to laugh with her touching him, but he did. "Tickles."

"Mmmm." Doing it again, she kissed him again to make up for that. "Want to know the truth?"

"Sure. About what?"

"When I felt him I wasn't sure at first, but when I went to an unoccupied area, I did. It disturbed me. Angered me. Made me feel very strange when he attacked me." Moving to lay on top of him, she just wanted to keep the physical contact going.

"You told me he talked to you. What did he say?"

"He said: Oh you little thing, you may come from a miserable planet, but there is more to you. Why choose an Irken of all things for a mate when you could of had anyone else." Gaz said. "He is probably doing this because of you."

"He should attack me and not you!" Running his hand through her hair, he added, "I know you can handle yourself, but it is time he comes after me."

Seeing his eyes shift from anger to fear, Gaz moved to kiss his chin. "Zim, what are you thinking of?"

"If you didn't know if that was me or not, what would you have done?" Zim wondered.

"Probably kiss him if he did a better job of being you." Kissing his lips, she added, "I know you too well, Zim."

Re-positioning his legs, he surprised her with something making him smile slyly at her surprised expression. He wasn't going to bring up her clone right now because he should of known that wasn't her. "Little Gaz."

In Gaz's brain she knew she was bait for that asshole, but in reality she was enjoying her, 'work-out' too much with him right now.
