Thanks for the reviews. :)


Late at night, Tak was receiving flashes as she tried to rest. A voice. She tried to ignore it, but when something painful cut into her, she tossed herself out of bed, and onto the floor. On all fours she was breathing hard. Looking up at the clock she saw the time to be 2:12 am so she slowly stood up to shake her nerves off to lay back down again. She studied the darkened ceiling for some time before the heaviness claimed her eyes again, but the pain felt even realer then minutes before followed by something else that disturbed her. Sitting up, she didn't want to disturb, Dib, but felt she needed help somewhere.

Getting out of the room, she went to his room, and opened up the door to find that the moonlight bathed the foot of his bed allowing her to make him out clearly with her eyesight. Walking next to him, she studied how he slept seeing his glasses on the nightstand next to him as he laid on his back with one arm raised. She noticed that he didn't bother to wear a shirt so she had to calm her breathing down at the sight.

"Dib?" She called out softly. She felt guilty for doing this, but he seemed so understanding. "Dib?" His head shifted a little, but he didn't wake. "Dib, it's Tak." Sitting down on the side of his bed, and tried again this time getting a result of his hand moving to touch her own. Funny how a simple act can make you almost lose it.

Opening his eyes up slowly, he could hardly make out her face. "Are you all right?" He asked groggily."

"No. Flash of memory. I think the only one to help me is my own kind." Tak replied.

"Could you hand me my glasses, please." He requested in vain effort in not wanting to let go of her hand. Holding out his other hand, he felt them placed gently in his hand where he slipped them back on. "Much better. Should invest in contacts of laser surgery one day."

"I like you with glasses."

To fight the twitching he was feeling with her there, he ignored the compliment as he went to sit up in his bed. "We can go downstairs to call him. Call Zim." Slipping out of bed, he almost stumbled over to where his shirt was unaware of Tak staring at his backside. Putting the shirt on, he ran his hand through his hair, and whispered for her to follow him.

Feeling the lab was a better place to be to talk to Zim, Dib escorted her down there, and automatically placed the call through. Dib was so tired, but feeling the worry coming from Tak, he gave her a reassuring rub on the back before Gaz answered looking like they just woke her up. "Sorry, Gaz if I woke you, but it is important that we talk to Zim. Well Tak needs to talk to him."

Gaz glanced over at Tak's panicked and worried expression to say, "We have been asleep for an hour, Zim went into deep recharge, but if it is important I'll wake him. Give me a moment."

Leaving to what he assumed was their bedroom, Dib glanced over to Tak, "That is my sister, Gaz. She is married to your Tallest Zim."

"Any other humans involved with Irkens?" Tak wondered.

"No. As far as we know it has only been my sister and I." Tak and I stared at one another for a while as unspoken words passed before Zim came online.

"Greetings, Tak." Zim said. "Do you remember anything about me?"

"No, but he told me little about you. I guess he wants me to fill in most of the blanks." Tak replied.

I couldn't understand Zim's expression, but he whatever he was trying to say to me silently, he kept his attention to Tak. "What is it you need to talk to me about, Tak?"

"Only things I know of and even though I don't remember fully is Jack is my son, Dib is the father, I have a piss poor memory, and obviously I was a horrible being before. Also I died and somehow I'm back." Tak established things so far. "Tonight though is different. Tonight I received this horrible flashes of memory. I can tell I'm in the same place, but..."

"Just calm and tell me everything that you can remember in those flashes. Just concentrate on those alone." Zim told her patiently.

So Tak did to the point she started shaking half way through making Dib take her hand to calm her, and to say he was there. Taking a deep breath, she continued recounting everything as Zim took everything in. Dib noticed how Zim's eyes shifted downwards before looking to the side where Gaz most likely was. Zim held up his hand to stop her gently.

Zim was silent as he went into deep thought knowing this wasn't good.

"Zim, aren't you gonna say anything to us?" Dib inquired hating this long wait for an answer. Hearing the tall tale signs of Jack's crying upstairs, he unfortunately had to run up there.

"Well I wish he didn't do that now." Zim had to make that comment. "I will ask this of you, Tak. Do you feel any weird sensations inside of you? Foreign."

"I feel mostly tired. I feel I could sleep all day. Is that weird?"

"Yes, since Irkens don't require actual sleep. If we do, it is just a few hours max when it is called for." Zim replied. "I know it is gonna be hard to do, but try not remembering anymore."

"Why?" Tak was confused.

"Yeah, why?" Dib wondered as he rejoined them.

"That was quick with him?"

"His diapers were uncomfortable on him it seemed." Dib told her.

"Look what we have to look forward to one day, little Gaz." Zim said making his tone light.

"Not yet, I finally wrapped my head around marriage. I have plenty of time until that moment." Gaz said beside him. "Now tell them, Zim."

Dib had to love his sister for being forceful at times and obviously Zim did too as he smiled at her attitude. "The reason why I don't want you remembering anything anymore is because you might have something inside of you that is a ticking time bomb waiting to happen."

"What?" Leave it to Dib to panic and Tak to remain stoic.

"The description she gave me rings a bell. He is hired help. The best of the best really. An assassin who took great joy in wiping out his own kind. Thing is if he is doing this it has to be for someone else."

"How do you know this if he can wipe out his own kind?" Dib wondered.

Zim looked a bit smug in explaining one bit of this. "Well to be number one on your own planet, what do you do?"

"Eliminate the competition."

"Can't believe I had to spell that out to you." Zim said sarcastically before saying seriously. "Whoever hired him will be unknown a lot of times, and I believe the unknown party this time to be the one responsible for what happened to Tak here and our Armada ship."

Tak was silent just processing what he was saying. "What is his name?"

Gaz quickly came into view with her eyes almost wide to answer this question. "Best not to know right now, Tak."

"What? Why?" Dib practically cried out.

"It'll cause her to remember and if she has something inside of her capable of harming anyone else then..." Gaz trailed off to let it sink in.

"No, I don't want to harm Jack or Dib." Tak breathed out.

Leaving Gaz alone to talk to them, Zim went to call on another Armada ship for an emergency situation. "Zim is thinking of something right now, Tak. Please be calm."

"I don't care about myself, I don't anything happening to them."

Wrapping her up in his arms, Dib whispered to her, "Hey, stop talking like that about yourself. I don't want anything happening to you."

Zim sat down just in time to see that little scene along with him whispering to her. "I have a small ship heading over there to pick her up. Don't worry, I gave them instructions not to go in all Irken like. They will take her to evaluate her and hopefully to get rid of what is inside of her." He informed them. "Also she won't be joining up with the Armada until she is deemed safe. This threat has already been on the ship more times than I like so far."

By Gaz's expression, Dib had a bad feeling it was involving her. "When do we expect them?"

"This transport is one of the fastest so it will be there by weeks end for you." Zim said. "Tak, hopefully you'll see your son again in a far safer condition next time."

"I hope so. Thank you." Tak said almost sniffling against Dib.

"We are gonna let you go for now, but don't hesitate to call if something happens." Gaz told them. "Later, Genius. Take care, Tak."

After the screen went blank, Tak went into shock mode as she laid against Dib's chest. "So I have to keep myself pretty much blank. That will be hard to do."

Dib didn't have any words to describe what he was feeling or how to respond to that. He knew she was always thinking so it will be hard to do, what was also hard was the possibility of seeing her gone forever again.

After the call, Gaz questioned Zim, "So who is the red toothed guy?"

"His name is Pressner from planet Conplerz. He does have special powers himself, but highly doubtful he is the one that attacked you or came in that day posed as me."

"Why do you doubt that?"

Leaning his head back, he stared into her eyes. "You told me later he spoke with an inflection in his voice. That race doesn't speak like that and Pressner especially doesn't speak like that. He is what you call more smoother speaking."

"He sounds like a snob. I get it. So that means whoever did that to me and to your ship is the one who hired him." Gaz reasoned. "This all sounds stupid."

Why did she always sound so cute when she said that word, stupid? Zim thought as he smiled at her. "We just have to figure out who."


Tomorrow was the day she had to leave. Tak was surprised a week went so fast in her current condition as she tried not to talk to Dib too much in fear of hurting him along with Jack. She wanted to hold Jack as much as possible so she can breath in his scent and enjoy the feel of him in her arms. She loved him, there was no doubt there.

"Your dad is a good man, Jack. I know you'll behave for him." She assured him softly. He was already asleep, but she wanted to say what she needed to say just in case it was her last time. "I want to let you know also that I love you and I will always be proud of you."

Running a finger softly against his face, Tak's mouth downturned as she was about to break down. She had to leave the room.

Walking down the hallway, she went into Gaz's bedroom with every intention of laying down, but just sat there until her nerves went crazy making her stand up to leave only to run into a towel clad, Dib fresh out of the shower. "Sorry. Did I hurt you?"

"No." He smiled at her before turning serious. "How are you?"

Tak quickly averted her eyes away from the sight in front of her. "How do you think?" She almost snapped.

"Tak, I know they'll help you. I don't want you to go, but I want you to get help because I know I wasn't able to locate anything." Taking her hand, he continued talking. "You are so beautiful."

Still looking away, she almost hissed, but instead pleaded, "Don't say that."

Reaching over, he placed his hand on her neck before running his thumb along her jawline. "You are and I will miss you and I will be worried about you."

"Oh Dib."

He hoped this didn't jar any memories, but he couldn't take this anymore if this might be his last chance with her as he closed the gap to kiss her. She did protest, but quieted up to kiss him back. Slowly his insides exploded as his hands moved up along her body and back down making him lift her up in his arms to bring her to the bedroom. Inside, he placed her on the ground to help her out of her clothes making sure to kiss every bare spot imaginable before helping her on the bed.

"I love looking at you." He confessed as he stood on his knees between her legs. Removing his towel he had his share of stares from her.

Tak did love his freshly washed scent as it wafted around her. Did he have a clue exactly what he did to her when she was near him? Feeling his flesh against hers as he came down to crush his lips against hers felt too right making her body come alive. She was afraid of it wakening up memories. Memories that will elicit that bomb inside of her. She wanted to be as far away from him and that precious smeet, but she wanted to be joined with him even if it was for one last time. The way he covered her body with his touches and his kisses made her almost cry out so many times she was afraid of waking, Jack, but each time she was approaching that feeling, he would kiss her again. She was surprised for someone so docile looking, he was extremely passionate. She couldn't wait to feel him in her.

"Dib... Please..." For some reason she had this deep feeling she wasn't a beggar, but she needed him as she raised herself up to hint to him more just in case the words weren't getting through. Lucky for her, he got it when he entered her deep making her cry out before reaching back to claw at his pillows as he held himself in that position for several heartbeats. What sweet torturous beauty is he giving her?

Keeping her legs held up with his arms, he had to admit it was sexier than all hell to see her almost killing the bedding under them while he held them there like that. He loved to watch how she breathed in and out. Her eyes were pleading at him. She wanted more, and he was taking his time this time. He only reacted when she gyrated her hips a little making his head tilt back to moan before tilting it back to meet her eyes to give her a very approving smile as he started to make love to her.

The made love slowly with him alternating positions. Only when he was reaching near his climax, he went to wrap his arms around her to kiss her, he fucking loved hearing her crying out even if it was in their mouths. Normally he hated people crying out near his face, but in this case he accepted it as he let her reach hers before he in turned reached his. He never stopped kissing her even as he got off her to lay on her side.

With her still on his back, and him laying on his side with one arm around her, she still shamelessly was moving her hips around enjoying the sensation he gave her. She enjoyed he was still kissing her. It was hard to close herself off completely.

"Stay with me tonight." He silently requested brushing his finger down her abdomen area.

"I'd like that."

Silently he prayed in his mind he got to see her again safe and sound. Smiling, he kissed her again.

Mid-morning was depressing as they had to say good-bye to one another when Zim's soldiers who were really from a medical transport ship, came by the back door to pick her up. Tak held and kissed Jack good-bye before handing him back to Dib. Between them both, they were mostly silent until one of the soldiers cleared their throat making Tak pull Dib down to whisper in his ear. "I'm so glad to have last night with you. I hope to do it again and again. You are very special, Dib." Pulling back, she brushed her finger against Jack's face before having to turn around.

"Tak." Dib quietly called out to her. When she turned, he smiled, "I think you are amazing."

Waving at him, she turned to exit the house to leave with the soldiers. Dib watched as they disappeared making him frown. In a way he felt so unlucky, but how could he think that when he had that bundle in his hands right now. Hearing chime on the computer, it was from Gaz informing him she was coming for a visit. For some reason it felt like the perfect time for her to be there. Though when he went to work after a couple of days, he had the nanny look after Jack, he went to work, Dib didn't realize one thing regarding a spy who overheard that his guest was now gone and that the baby is being looked after by the nanny, but there was a silver lining that his sister was coming in for a visit.

Pressner reported this all in person to Psyllic after he raided his liquor cabinet again. "So what now? Wasn't expecting the Tallest to get involved like that and drag her away for medical help. Of course I had to be on board that large ship to hear that info."

Psyllic smiled suddenly as a thought raised up. First he was peeved that Tak left too early, but now it seems better than before. "Now we have a new plan in place. Of course we are going to wait for brother and sister to be in the same place at the same time. I know you made that implant as tough as possible to get out so that little Queen will be there at the right time." Taking a drink himself, he added, "We soon will be having loads of fun, Pressner."


Pressner is my first OC from Small Reflections. He's a red toothed bastard.
