I was offended when my lovlies didn't review but I understand completely so don't feel bad. Besides, I at least got three and that's what counts right?
Alright well Disclaimer: I freaking own nothing, do you have any Idea how insane this series would be if I owned it, there'd never be a dry moment!
Speaking of Dry moments: This is a warning: Major JATR scene and Vex being EXTREMELY PISSED, every other word coming out of his mouth is a curse word and you'll see why =3 the title of the chapter suits it well =D. So there's a warning it's rated low M this chapter is! YOU'VE BEEN WARNNNEEEDDD

Tab's POV.
"Wanna help me cook?" Jax asked once Zim left. I looked over at him inquiringly. He actually looked serious…
"Are you kidding me? I'd probably burn the whole house down," I scoffed but his look didn't change…he seriously wanted me to cook with him; well breakfast was going to be rather…interesting.
"Not if I'm helping you," He smiled making me smile right back. 'Why the hell does he have to be so nice?' "So do you want to?"
"Umm, sure just don't get mad if I destroy everything without even trying," I said with a nervous smile. I once burned coffee…COFFEE how does one even DO that?!
"I don't think I could get mad at you that easily," Jax shrugged while pulling something's out of the cupboards. These were things such as Pancake batter, bread and a bag of rare Irken fruit that Vex had been collecting before he was teleported away from us, "If I assign you to cutting fruit, would you cut your hand off? Or should I have you put the bread in the toaster for an amount of time that I set it to." I laughed loudly while shooting him a playful look.
"I am a trained guard, I've learned how to cut things very well…but I think I'll stick to the toaster this time…just to be safe," Now it was his turn to laugh. He tossed me the loaf of bread and walked over to the toaster we'd obtained years ago, "How long are you setting it for?"
"A minute and thirty seconds, just to be safe, if it needs to go longer then I'll adjust it," I laughed again and socked him in the arm, "What you told me you'd burn the house down! I don't want to be taking risks here!"
"I took a risk falling in love with YOU!" I shot back and snatched the toaster from his hands, "lettme do it!"
"And what a risk that turned out to be," Jax rolled his eyes and hovered over me as I turned the dial to a minute and thirty seconds, "Ummm, Tab…That's an hour and thirty minutes," My face fell and I handed the toaster back to him.
"This is exactly why you're in charge of food, I'd kill you guys if I was in charge of cooking," I said in defeat as Jax reset it and handed the thing back to me.
"I'm aware," Jax muttered while I started pulling bread out of the bag, "Do you know how to push the lever down or do I have to do that for you too?" I growled and spun around to punch him in the arm while he laughed his ass off and turned to work on making the pancakes.
"I'm not THAT pathetic!"
"No comment," he answered and shrunk back to get away from me in case I decided to hit him again…which I was now debating in my head on whether I should or shouldn't.
"When I find something you suck at, I'm going to use it against you every day of your life," I grumbled under my breath as the first batch of toast popped.
"Well, I suck at lying," Jax said in a cheery voice, clearly teasing me.
I frowned and glared at him without him knowing, "Something you suck at that I CAN use against you," I groaned while putting the next two pieces in and waiting for them to pop.
"Hmm ok I suck at drawing," He offered up, setting the first batch of pancakes onto a plate as the second batch of toast popped.
"Oh because THAT'S a big deal," I sighed feeling even more defeated than I had been earlier.
"I'm not good at wrestling, but I am extremely good when I'm fighting for my life or for someone I care about's life."
"So if I wrestled you right now; you'd lose?" I asked curiously.
"No, hey I'm getting better at lying too," Jax laughed while handing me a pathetic, very dull knife and a cube of butter.
"I dislike you," I groaned with an appalled look on my face, he just HAD to go and pull that card on me.
"I know you do. Hey I gain weight really fast, that's never a good thing."
I laughed loudly and turned around to whack him in the arm again, "No you don't, you have a nice tummy."
"Tummy?" Jax mocked while trying not to laugh really hard but failing horribly.
"Yes tummy, if you have a problem with it then you can take it up with Mr. Freaking six pack over here," I growled and poked his very muscular stomach.
"Hey it's not an eight pack, that's saying something."
"Shut up, Jax. You're just failing miserably," I sighed and hugged him tightly from behind, "I think I'd be scared if it was an eight pack, that's too many packs."
"Yeah? Well maybe I WANT an eight pack what would you do then?"
"Wrestle you but oh wait, you'd win. So never mind, I'd shun you for the night then stare at you the next day."
"Well I better not get an eight pack then, I can't have my beautiful girlfriend staring at me all day now can I?"
"I honestly don't think you'd be complaining."
"Never said I would be," Jax teased and turned around to embrace me tightly, "When the toast is done will you please put cinnamon and sugar on them?"
"Do you have one assertive bone in your body?" I asked and gave him a look.
"Well of course, but you broke it the day or night I guess that you found me alive again."
"Honey, that wasn't a bone," I laughed while Jax glared at me and blushed.
"Well ok, just take it THERE then, whatever I was trying to make you feel better."
"Oh and what a good job you did at that," I teased sarcastically while wrapping my arms around his neck and leaning my forehead against his.
"You wanna go on a walk later? Just you and me? I'm sure Zim can hide from Oni for at least an hour without being blown up for random reasons."
"Sure, that sounds fun actually, I can push you into a lake…well if we find one," I smiled as leaned forwards and gently pressed his lips against mine.
"We'll find one," He muttered before going back in and kissing me again.
"How do you know that?" I asked just slightly pulling away so he could at least answer me.
"Because I'm a very lucky person," He answered, pulling me closer by my arms and giving me ANOTHER kiss.
"And why do you think that?"
"Why else? I have you and a family that actually cares about me, I don't see how I can get any luckier," My eyes snapped wide open and I stared at him in shock, 'is he serious about that?' I wondered while he gave me a funny look.
"Are…are you serious?"
"I suck at lying Tab, of course I'm serious. I care about you more than you think I do," He responded while kissing my jaw line a couple times and nuzzling my face with his. I also noticed his hand was covering my weird burn mark on my hip, like he intentionally put his hand there because he knew I had it or something.
"Wow and you fell in love with me? You must be either sick or insane then Jaxy."
"Well sick…yes in a way and insane…you hit it right on the dot. But I wouldn't have it any other way, I've never felt so vulnerable until I've been around you so that must mean I'm either terrified you're going to kill me, or seriously in love with you."
"Irk must like me," I said more to myself than him, there was no way in hell I'd find another guy like this on my planet. I smiled at him before noticing that his pancakes were burning, "Jax babe your pancakes are burning."
"Eh, let them burn, it's when they catch on fire that I have to be worried," He shrugged and gave me an innocent smile.
"Are you going-?"
"Are you going to kiss me, or not? That's all that matters right now," I froze; well SOMEONE was desperate for attention today. I gave him a shocked look and he just gave me puppy eyes in return.
"Well ok then," I said in a flustered voice as Jax and I leaned in and met in the middle. We kissed for a few seconds before he grabbed my hands and slowly pushed me back into the counter top, pinning me there so I couldn't get away if I wanted to.
I smiled through the kiss while wrapping my arms around his neck and grabbing at one of his antenna. As soon as I touched it he tensed up and started getting more passionate with his kisses, trailing them from my lips down my neck and onto my cheeks.
"Jax, the pancakes are on fire now," I muttered quietly while soaking up the gentle love. I didn't get this everyday so it was nice while it lasted.
"Uhu," He mumbled absent mindedly, being too caught up in his own world to even register what I said, "Wait did you say fire?" He snapped out of his trance and looked over to see that the pancakes WERE on fire, "OH SHIT!" He pulled away from me quickly and tended to the burning food before it caught anything else on fire, "See NOW I have to worry about it."
I laughed and turned to start putting cinnamon and sugar on the toast that had popped up and was now cooling.
A little while later breakfast was finished and Jax and I were getting ready to go put it on the table, "Breakfast is ready!" Jax called down the hall where Zim was probably soundly sleeping right now.
I grabbed two plates and walked them out to the dining room where Jax had been setting the table for the past five minutes, "It's beautiful Jax, thanks for cooking," I said with a warm smile. There were pretty white candles that were lit in the middle of the table and two red Irken roses in a small glass of water between them.
"Thanks for helping, now I just have to get the apple juice and milk."
"No, you've done enough for one hour, I'll get it."
"What if I wanted to get it?" He challenged.
"Bring it on pretty boy!" Jax gave me a teasing smirk before bolting off towards the kitchen. I growled and bolted off after him, tackling him out of the way of the refrigerator door so he wouldn't work anymore, "You've done enough!" I snapped while trying to reach for the fridge's door handle.
Jax tackled me to the ground right as I was about to open the door and laughed in triumph, "HAHA! I win!"
"In your dreams!" I shouted playfully while 'tazing' him in the side with my claw. He yelped in surprise and curled up like most people do, giving me the chance to get to the door and swing it open. I shouted in triumph while pulling the apple juice out.
"It's mine!" Jax yelled while grabbing my waist and hauling me to the floor. We wrestled over the apple juice for a second before he snatched it out of my hands and started struggling to get up.
"I thought you were good at wrestling!" I taunted while jumping on his back and trying to grab the apple juice out of his hands.
"I told you I suck at lying!" Jax yelled while gator rolling out from under me and scrambling to get away.
I laughed while jumping on him again and flipping him, so I could pin him easier. I sat on his chest while he tried to keep the apple juice just out of my reach, which was working seeing as he was taller than me, "Jax!" I snapped, "I'm just trying to help!"
"TABBBB, I don't want help!"
"WELL if you two are just going to be having sex in the kitchen! I'd LIKE the apple juice please!" Someone snapped making Jax and I freeze from our wrestling match.
"WHAT!?" We both shouted as our faces flushed in embarrassment. I glared up at Zim who took the apple juice out of Jax's hands and walked into the dining room with it.
Jax and I looked at each other before rolling off of each other and not making eye contact, "Oh yeah and Tab?" Zim said coming back in with a pillow in his hand.
"What Zim?" I asked moodily. I looked up just in time to be hit with a pillow…again, "OW!"
"That's for interrupting my beauty sleep last night," Zim growled, leaving me shocked and pissed on the kitchen floor.
"Well so much for THAT moment," Jax grumbled, lying on his belly on the floor.
"Can you turn on the water and give me the spray hose for a second…I need to kick his ass," I growled with low antenna.
"I'm afraid that if I don't, you'll kick mine instead so…coming right up darling!"
"Oh ZIIIIMMMM~" I drawled in a fake sweet voice. In reality, it was dripping with poison and the stalks of revenge.
Cari's POV.
I jumped back when I saw the laser shot fly through the air, straight into Vex. He fell to the floor with Mia falling along with him, "VEX!" I shouted in horror as the other's scattered and more shots were fired, "Mia roll out of the way!"
"I can't see!" She shouted in fear. I dove down by her and pushed her into the underground cave Vex had been heading for.
"Motherfuckin' ASSHOLES! That was my GOOD ANTENNA!" Vex shouted in agony while ripping off his hat and grabbing his right antenna. The whole tip of it had been blown off and it was bleeding like crazy. Irkens antenna are very sensitive parts of their bodies and it's like a human breaking their femur and that's scientifically proven to be the most painful thing in the world, other than torture. So yeah…ow.
I was shocked, I'd never seen Vex without his black cowboy hat on and I sure as hell had never seen his antenna, he looked like a whole new person to me. Both antenna had been shredded before but this was news to me. He'd use to tell me stories but he'd never show me, "Vex, vex are you ok!?"
"No my fuckin' antenna was shot! What the hell do ya think!?" Vex snapped back. His head was probably pounding by now, "Git under cover!"
"But-!"
"JUS DO IT!" He snapped and literally tackled me into the cave, clearly he was pissed and in pain, "Fuckers! GAHH I fuckin' AGAHHH!"
"Vex please! You're scaring me," Mia shouted, cowering in the only place she could; the open. She couldn't see a thing so Sky was trying to calm her down but she wasn't too keen on listening to sky either.
Vex sucked in a couple deep breaths through his teeth before ripping a piece of his shirt off, wrapping the antenna and sliding his hat back on, "Mother of Irk in holly hell that hurts like a bitch slapping ya on a cold winter mornin'. Somebody's gonna fuckin' pay fer this."
"Vex, tone it down," I said sternly. He was really pissed, more pissed then I've seen him in a long time.
"I'll be right back," He hissed before walking back out of the cave.
"Wait Vex!" I shouted but Jeb put a hand on my shoulder to silence me.
"He'll be ok, he once got like this in the academy when a jerk broke Axel's wrist…surprisingly that how they met pretty much. They'd seen each other once or twice before hand but never talked face to face…until that night. If he wants someone dead, that person is going to be dead."
"Then why aren't you dead?" Sky asked obnoxiously.
"I ask myself that question ever day of my life, Sky. Thanks for bringing it up again, I hadn't thought about it today," Jeb answered sarcastically.
I sat quietly as I waited for Vex to come back but after a few minutes I was starting to get anxious. Well…that was until Vex jumped into the roof of the cave, dragging a person down with him.
He slammed the person into the ground and grabbed her collar, "YOU!" Vex fumed angrily. His pupils were nearly just little slits now as he hatefully glared down the girl.
"YOU!" She snapped back while struggling under his grip. He didn't let go though, in fact, he grabbed her neck and slammed her against the stony wall, making her yelp in pain and try grasping at Vex's hand. She was already bleeding through her teeth; probably from biting the inside of her cheek at one point.
"How does it feel ta be beaten!? Ta have everythin' that ever mattered ta ya ripped away from ya in three heart beats!? HUH? HOW DOES IT FEEL!"
"I wouldn't know!" The girl spat back angrily through the choke hold Vex had her in.
The group and I were just…shocked, there was absolutely nothing we could do to stop him and they clearly seemed to know each other…but Vex doesn't usually hurt a woman.
"That's right ya wouldn't know! Too bad I do huh? I promised ya I'd come back an' kick yer ass SO hard fer what ya did ta me!"
"Next time, you shouldn't lie to a cop!" She choked as Vex dropped her to the ground and glared down at her.
"Wouldn't you if it meant protecting your family?"
"I wouldn't know," She growled, while rubbing her throat, "I never had a family to fall back on."
"Clearly," Vex hissed grabbing his gun and pointing it straight at her face, "Gimme one damn good reason why I shouldn't blow yer fuckin' brains out all over this cave, right now?"
"Because there are children here," The girl said back, her light purple eyes glaring deeply into Vex's pissed off green ones.
"Then I'll just take ya outside! Yer runnin' out of time ya bitch, better start talkin'!"
"I don't have a reason!"
"Well then I guess yer sore outta luck then aren't ya?"
"Well you two seem to know each other very well," Sky said making the rest of us stiffen up. Vex looked over at us, to see we were scared and shocked. We had no idea what was going on right now.
"Damn straight we do," Vex hissed, shoving the girl to the ground and hovering over her with his gun, "This is the bitch that took my whole fuckin' life away from me. She took away Axel from me an' she's ABOUT to DIE if she doesn't start talkin'. Yer choice bitch."
