Lard Nar scanned the mysterious male in front of him wondering what he could get from him as he leaned casually over to the side in a show of boredom hoping he could get more out of him than what was wishing to divulge as his crew members laughed at the air of pompous behavior he seem to exude. "I don't like the terms of the deal so far since it seems like you want us to be the main ones attacking the Armada while you sit at home doing your nails."

Psyllic almost bit back at his idiotic behavior, but remained neutral towards him. "May I show you something?"

Laughing, Lard Nar tried to stifle his laughter. "Sure, show me."

With a wave of his hand, he sent the whole crew out into open space seemingly unprotected as Psyllic wandered out to the observation window smiling at them obviously screaming with their eyes bulging out in fright. Torture was sure fun, he thought as he brought them back in to watch them all collapse panting with the head idiot lifting his upper body up to wave his fist in the air at him.

"You dare do that to the Resisty? I can kill you just like this." Snapping his fingers to demonstrate his point, he almost collapsed back down.

"Oh sorry, but when I neglect my own nails for so long I get so testy with lower life beings." Mocked Psyllic before raising him up in the air upside down. "Now! I can do far more damage to you right now if you continue to be this much of a pest to me right now."

"Yeah? Show me!"

Stupid mistake, as Psyllic took one of the larger crew members to instantly gouge his eyes out before pulling his brain out through his useless snout before he dropped dead. "Enough proof on what I'm capable of, Worm?" His tone now decisively more frustrated with dealing with these morons for too long already.

"Crap! Okay that is enough proof. We'll help. We'll help." Lard Nar told him raising his hands up in the air in surrender.

"Good boy. Cause tomorrow you head out and confront the Armada." Psyllic instructed calmly. "If you don't do this, I'll kill you."

"But they'll kill us if we confront the entire Armada!"

"Tsk, tsk. That means your death right now will be far more painful."

Sighing, Lard Nar looked over everyone of his crew members before nodding his head. "We'll do it."

Psyllic loved the sound of defeat in a lowly beings voice.

Gaz halted in her steps after she entered their room. Zim was still on the bridge, Gir was out playing around with Minimoose, and Dib was back on Earth. She felt something that made her tremble knowing she was just brushed up against. It didn't feel like Psyllic, so what was it? It has powers, that was for certain, and it was evil. Taking several breaths in and out, Gaz decided to exit out of her quarters to storm down the corridor. Having to go on the elevator to reach the lower level, she exited to go to where Tak's body was stored. What led her here was that feeling as she studied the readings before looking inside for any movement.

It looked like they would have to move her somewhere's else.

Turning on her heel quickly, she decided to speak to Zim face to face as she hailed him. "Zim? Meet me in our quarters, I need to talk to you about something important right away."

Later when they were alone, or so she hoped they were, in their room she told him what she felt, and that the lingering feelings she felt when she visited Tak were darkness to end the Irken race once and for all. "You can't say I'm crazy after everything we all have been through together."

"I'm not and I did have some unsettling feeling happening since her death." Rolling his eyes, he corrected himself, "Well we know she really isn't dead, but in deep hibernation right now from what happened."

Sighing, she looked down at his own feet in thought before lifting her face up to him. "I hate saying this, but we can't have her here on the Massive then. It jeopardizes you. And yes I know you are a big boy who can handle himself, but hello you have responsibilities."

Hearing her half sarcastic response, Zim wrapped his arms around her. "Sure, go for my ego, little Gaz."

"Sometimes it is the best way you listen." She pointed out. "Can't have anything happen to my love-pig, can I?"

"Hey!"

"See how unpleasant it sounds when you refer to someone as a love-pig?" She laughed at his response to her comment.

Stroking her hair, Zim told her, "I'll think of where to transfer her to."

"Thank you." Looking back up, she smiled at him. "You deserve something extra tonight then."

Lifting her up in his arms, Zim kissed her. "Can we do a little something now?"

"No, because you have to work, but later I'm all yours." She promised.

Kissing her again, Zim's brain was cutting between his Gaz and work. Gaz was still a pleasant alternative any moment of the day to him though.

It was nearly a month since, Dib came home, and so far things have gone smoothly with Tenn. Jack enjoyed her as he demanded to learn more. Dib would cut his time between working in the lab or being home working. Not like he really needed to do so, but seeing that his feelings were still shaky at best, he figured it was better this way until things settled out.

When he brought Tenn over to the lab with Jack, he wasn't surprised at the male attention she was already receiving even there. Her disguise did put her in the category of a knock-out making him shake his head at every males desperation of making small talk with her. When they asked him what she was to him, he simply replied that she was the nanny. They couldn't believe it so they assumed he was going to bed with her already. His reply to that was he held no interest in her whatsoever since his interest still laid with the mother of his child. That got too many awe's from the females around him.

Tenn never seemed to make any verbal comments to all of this as she paid attention to her job. That made her a professional in her tasks. Something that Dib could admire.

One evening, he couldn't take being in the house any longer so he placed Jack in the stroller, activating his disguise before asking her if she wanted to join for a walk. She nodded as she quietly joined him.

As their walk led them to the park, Dib led them down a lighted pathway after they passed more than a few groups of females milling around the local theater. As far he could notice in the park were some random couples making out, and a small group of guys talking and laughing. After all this time walking, Tenn didn't utter a word, but he noticed how her eyes constantly wandered around till she stopped.

"He's sleeping." She remarked with a small smile on her face.

Scooting the stroller around so he can view him more clearly, he adjusted his blanket before rising himself up. "It is a warm night, but you never know about chills."

Tenn scanned between him and Jack before they heard the sounds of the small group of men cat calling her. Tenn appeared confused while he knew Tak would of openly sneered at them. "What are they doing?" She inquired innocently.

"Your human disguise is very pleasing to them so they hope that with them acting like pigs, they will have a chance down your pants." Dib replied.

"Down my pants? What does that mean?"

"It means, they want to have sex with you."

It took her a few seconds to process before she narrowed one eye at them. "And they think that is the way to get a female in bed with them? Does that actually work?"

Dib laughed at her stunned tone of voice. "Sorry to laugh, but that is the best reaction to that attitude since it is ridiculous. But to answer your question, on some it works on, on others like yourself, no."

"If I may ask, how did you pursue Tak then? Or was it her?" Tenn asked biting her lip.

"Meat. Valentines day, I handed her meat not knowing she was Irken and would have a reaction to it." Laughing at that memory, he continued. "We talked, she was the first person who showed an interest. Though her interest at the time was getting revenge on Zim. We did kiss in between me getting to know her, but funny how I was still interested in her when I found out she was Irken."

"HEY BABY! STOP TALKING TO THAT GEEK AND COME OVER HERE FOR SOME REAL LOVING!" One of the men called out to her.

Tenn ignored it. "I heard that Zim used Tak to get to you when we invaded."

"Yep and I don't want to talk about that." Some memories can be closed off for a while, especially that particular tension filled one.

Tenn examined him from head to toe. "I've been on this Earth long enough to know that you are considered attractive for your species."

Clearing his throat, he scratched the back of his neck. "And uh why would you say this?" He asked uncomfortably.

"The way females look at you, and of course how a few ask me about you. They say you are hot, but you don't appear hot. Possibly warm, but not hot."

Laughing politely at her naive nature right now, he informed her what that meant. He wanted to say more, but he was experiencing a case of deja vu being in the park with those men cat calling out. He dreamt when he was in the park with Tak, and she was being hit on. It made him step back.

"You all right?" Tenn asked reaching out her hand to steady him.

"Sometimes a dream that I once had has led me down the same path. There are some things that are different, but just now it was almost the same except you aren't Tak and Jack didn't exist at the time in the dream." Rubbing his temple, it was just weird.

"Well, I want you well since you are the reason why I'm here and I never fail a mission." She informed him. "Not unless you send me malfunctioning Sir units to me."

"I hardly get sick so don't worry yourself there." Sighing, he went to the stroller. "Perhaps it is time to head back."

Nodding her head, they did as he wanted where when he got home, he placed Jack to bed and came downstairs to sit in his regular spot with Tenn still in her disguise. "You know we are back home, you can take off that disguise."

"I know, but I'm still getting use to it." Was her soft answer as she watched him turn on the television to find Mysterious Mysteries was already playing.

"They barely do any alien stories since the invasion. Zim really proved that you exist." Dib told her as he pointed out the irony. "For years I tried to prove it and bam he does it mostly to pursue my sister."

Studying him, Tenn couldn't make out his tone of voice before removing her disguise finally. "Do you hate him for that?"

"You can say that. I mean at times I hate that so many did suffer from it, but Gaz wasn't ready to go, and I refused to let her go."

He is at least honest, Tenn thought. "Why did you refuse?"

"Because I didn't like him. Didn't know deep down that, Gaz liked him even if she wasn't ready to admit it."

Tenn studied how he tightened his jaw up at the memory making her pursue another question. "What is it like to kiss someone?"

Dib removed his glasses temporarily to rub the bridge of his nose. Why was that question uncomfortable to him? "Why do you want to know?"

"Curious. I see so many sucking face that I'm just curious."

She was innocent, but the term, 'sucking face' made him laugh a bit. "My experience is kissing only one girl. Tak. It was amazing to me." Turning to face her a bit, he said, "People have different experiences from lackluster to nice to hmmm to that was amazing."

"Maybe I'll try it at least once for my research." Tenn said as she rolled her eyes up in thought. "How about sex? What is that like?"

"Uhhhh well that ranges a lot too, and before you ask it was amazing for me."

Watching how red his face was becoming, Tenn smiled at him. "I will try the kissing first."

"With your disguise and many male interest around you, you can have anyone you want."

Standing up to hold her arms up a little, she looked down at him. "Do you think I'm attractive for an Irken?"

Where the hell is this going? Dib wondered. In truth, he didn't want to look at her when really the only female Irken he wanted around was Tak. Tenn was nice and all, but he didn't care.

Closing his eyes, he just didn't want to answer, but he did anyhow. "I guess. To tell you the truth, Tenn I've closed myself off from anyone else that all I can see is her in front of me, and I thought of her as the most beautiful thing around." Feeling the couch shift, he didn't open his eyes till he felt her touching him making his eyes fly open. "I think you are a nice female. Very competent."

"I find you attractive."

Seeing her lean forward towards him made Dib slip off the couch. "Uh thank you, Tenn, but please keep that to yourself."

"I don't understand. Did I offend you?"

She was innocent in these ways. Ways he couldn't quite explain to her fully right now. "No you didn't. My mind is with my son, business, and a mate that is in suspended animation right now because of an assassin whom I would love to kill off myself. I'm grateful that you are here, but this is business and one day a friendship. I can see that with you at least." He told her honestly.

Bowing her head, she leaned back into the cushions. "I understand. I won't do that again."

Glancing at the time, Dib smiled down at her. "I'm gonna retire. You are an excellent female, Tenn."

Tenn nodded before watching him go up those stairs. They should of trained you in being around someone like this.

She was alone again and heard that they were moving her off the Massive per the Tallest's orders. Tak had a feeling something made itself known for her to be moved off the ship like this because they were trying to place a rush on it. This is the ship they should move her off of. True she'd be able to get anywheres else, but this had more access to someone they are required to protect at all times. Though she felt that Zim's bravado would pretty much stop them there.

Silently she kept praying that they do it fast and stop talking so much about stuff. It was way too dangerous for her to be out like this. She never knew when Pressner would come back since he had a habit of sneaking back in at times. She knew she was going to be used as a weapon now, and none of that was too appealing to her especially when her family is now involved.
