So the general consensus is that Tenn and Dib will get together, eh? Let us wait and see there.
Ngrey- Hello and how are you? I knew someone would point that detail out and I did think about you when I did write it. Psyllic will play with the Irkens for a long time until he feels it's time.
"She's off the ship, my Gaz." Zim announced gently as he bent down to kiss her on the lips. "Any other feelings?" Sitting down on the couch, he placed her feet on his lap.
"Not yet. I hate being touched."
Removing her shoes so he can run his hands along the top of her feet, he frowned. "Always wanted to ask you about that, but was afraid of the answer really."
"Well I don't experience this feeling every single time, but I still avoid it because it feels like a violation of some type."
Leveling his gaze at her, he continued his ministrations as his curiosity finally needed to be answered. "Explain, please."
"Dib does have something inside of him, but it is obviously brought on by his over need to be protective. Dib has been annoying in the past, true, but he is this good person you can count on every time." Letting out a huff of breath, she knew she would have a hard time explaining his powers, so she moved on. "The things I felt from you when you picked me up to use as an umbrella besides just stealing my umbrella was something else. Ego, brash bravado, slight sociopath, nerd."
"Little Gaz, I'm starting to feel bashed over here. Get to the point please." He knew she would never let that stuff just go away.
"Sorry. Well not entirely." Smiling she winked at him. "No powers, but if you were issued them you would use them at least wisely. I find you sexy when I watch you in command on that bridge there."
Oh he loved it when she spoke sexily to him. "What about when I saved you from falling in that hole? Why you felt like kissing me."
"I felt your need to want to protect me always even if you know I can do it most of the time. You actually cared for what happened to me, and out of my own curiosity, I wanted to kiss you." Blushing she felt him shifting her more to sit on his lap.
"And the mall?"
Feeling her face burning, she wanted to hit him, but ended up burying herself against his chest. "Me being angry and cooped up and stuff because of you. Also because of Dib. Crazy over protective brother. Anyhow, I was so messed up in my head that I was here and there with you, but the moment you bit me..." She trailed off.
Loving hearing about her being hot about him all along, he simply held her to think of other things. "That must mean you really experienced the uncomfortable with the human race to make you refuse to be touched." Feeling her nod, he kissed the top of her head. "Sorry, little Gaz."
"I wish I knew fully what that asshole was thinking about, but all I can feel is his powers. He has very strong powers. I don't know his plan exactly on what he wants to do against us." Though she knew what he thought of her.
Lifting her chin up, Zim needed to look at her face. "We'll win against him because your Zim only smells victory."
Brash bravado right there in her husband made her smile at him. "And Zim."
"Yes?"
"One day we'll have smeets, just right now I want to enjoy my alone time with you when I can." Bringing his head down to meet her own, she kissed him deeply.
Zim smiled against her lips at hearing that affirmation from her as he lifted her up in his arms to carry her to the bedroom.
Feeling his son's presence before he ever stepped into the room always filled him with a certain sense of disdain. He was slimy and ruthless. Psyllic was never sure if he was brilliant or rather lucky in how he lived for so long. Elias was someone that even the natural Plegerins viewed as evil incarnate while any of his half brother's and sister's just wanted to be away from him. Hell, he wanted to be away from him, but he had to deal with him for this mission.
"I'm certain your brain blew up several times talking to those idiot Resisty members." Elias announced the second he got in the threshold.
"It did, but I tortured them a little before leaving." Psyllic informed him easily. "Why what happened?"
"The morons are wondering if they should ask for this planet in exchange for this job."
Chuckling at that, he smiled over at his son. "It must be fun to act like part of that crew and laugh stupidly at those ideas."
"I have a feeling you assigned this to me because of your hatred of me." Elias wanted something to drink, but he needed his brain in tact still. "Why not Pressner?"
"Pressner is otherwise detained. You know this."
Making a face, he neared his father. "You keep going over to that ship to view someone in particular. Let me have a peak."
Turning to stone, Psyllic knew how much he could never love his own son. He'd rather have Pressner as his son even with his unnatural love for that Irken. Baring his teeth, he looked down at Elias. "You have a job to do and you will stick to that. Right now we have another weapon about to wake up so make sure to keep me appraised about those morons on that ship."
Elias stared into his father's eyes seeing that hatred in them. He knew he had no love for him, but it made him wonder seriously one thing, will he succeed once his own dad decides to step down or will he have to kill him too?
Dib should of felt foolish taking a shower in the old bathroom. He had been too lazy to call up a plumber to come over to take a look at the bathroom in his own bedroom for all this time figuring that no one else will be using it anyhow besides mostly himself. Tak only used chalk before and so did Tenn along with Jack so why not be the only one without that aversion against water use the only working shower? When Tak was here he didn't mind her looking at him when he passed in the hallway back to his room. It was her where it led to a beautiful last night together. With Tenn, after her admission, he felt a bit uncomfortable and stupid since he forgot to bring clothes in with him so he had to wrap the towel around his waist to head back to his bedroom.
Walking along to his room, he hoped she was downstairs or maybe recharging herself since it was so quiet, but as he neared his room, he was knocked down to the ground with a very embarrassed Tenn on top of him, and knocking the air right out of him.
Wide eyed, she instantly checked his head. "Dib, I'm sorry sir. You all right? I just wanted to ready things downstairs." She asked nervously.
Head back against the floor, he stared up at the ceiling hoping the spots would clear. "I have to call the plumber now." He murmured.
"Excuse me?"
Feeling too much of her own body against his own, and an extra bit of air against his skin down there, his face burned bright. Fuck, his damn towel slipped off of him, I'm really calling the plumber now. "Tenn, please get up and immediately avert your eyes away from me." He warned carefully.
She'll try, but she had enough of a clear view of his upper torso to not have any complaints, though she did get up with her eyes closed. Well not entirely since she was curious after all, and did see below his waist making her instantly blush. "So what is a plumber?" She feigned ignorance to that question just for a simple few more minutes with him.
"They fix the plumbing in the house. Pipes mostly. I need them to finally look at my bathroom so I can avoid these moments." He replied re-wrapping the towel around him.
"I'm sorry you are displeased with me, Sir. I am trying my best." She offered.
Sighing, he looked down at her wondering if he snapped at her. "I'm not, I'm just embarrassed, and unsure of what and why you are saying certain things to me. I get research, but it feels like you are hitting on me."
Glancing up at him, her eyes blinked up at him. "I haven't hit you though so explain what you mean."
"Sorry, it is a human saying... Umm, okay... If you are interested in a male or female you say certain things to show your interest in them to further things between the both of you." Dib felt stupidly awkward explaining this. Not to her, but to think of someone else hitting on him was odd still.
"Oh." To her, he was pleasing to her senses to let her make sense of why someone like Tak would be interested in him. Though she didn't know Tak, she did have that reputation.
"I'm not saying these things to embarrass you, Tenn. I want us to be friends. So I hope I'm not."
Shaking her head, she smiled. "No you haven't and I want us to be friends too. Now if you don't mind I will head downstairs to retrieve something."
"Certainly."
"But Dib, as a friend, I am allowed to say you are quite attractive for a human." Walking past him swiftly, she ran down the steps leaving a confused human behind.
Later when he was at work in the privacy of his own office, he called up Gaz who instantly started laughing. "Seriously, Gaz! Don't laugh."
"Okay I won't." Face turning serious for just a moment, she busted up again. "Another Irken female has the hots for you. My brother the stud."
"Ugh. I shouldn't of told you." Leaning back, he growled. "Makes me wonder who would be more mature here, you or Zim with this news?"
"Me." Wiping away a tear from her eye, she smirked at him. "Seriously, Dib I will not repeat myself so you better listen up good the first time. You aren't an ugly guy. You are attractive, so I'm not surprised."
Blinking his eyes at her, he said a very unsure, "Th-thank you."
"Don't be such a whiner, Dib. I know you are acting this way because of Tak. Don't worry I'm not gonna say to go for it with Tenn. What I will say is this though... Actually I will ask this, do you want Tenn still around or not because of her attraction to you?"
Gaz always had that way about her to get to the point. "Jack likes her and she is very good to have around him. So she can stay."
Smiling at him, she shook her head. "You even acted weird when those girls kept throwing themselves at you in the hide-out. I know if it was Tak you would of been all over her in an instant."
"You knew how I always felt for her and how I hated that all the girls that laughed in my face and helped bully me are suddenly tossing their clothes off. I do fucking have some self-respect."
Narrowing her eyes at him, she almost smirked. "You say that, but I've seen tons of embarrassing things in school from you while pursuing Zim."
"Ha ha, don't scoff because look who you are married to, and I remember him doing very embarrassing things himself." Dib mocked back.
"Oh I know, but some of those stunts help so well in bed." She said winking at him.
"Ugh! Gaz! Not the visual I want." Sticking his tongue out he was once against hampered with her laughing in the monitor.
Zim eyed the screen in front of him feeling the familiar stench of stupidity about to loom over them as so many pairs of eyes glared into the screen while the rest remained in darkness. Guess they really don't change their tricks after all this time. He knew they did this with Red and Purple, and he did it again trying to show his power again. Right now with listening to him as he demanded respect, and other stupid things including the Massive, Zim sat down in his chair, placed his elbow on the arm rest and leaned himself to the side resting his chin in the palm of his hand.
"Do you understand everything that we told you, Tallest Zim?"
"Uh huh." Zim replied in a bored tone.
"And your answer to your demands will be?"
Zim put on a show of glancing around him, then his gloves as he crossed his legs. He heard their heavy breathing over the screen as he mocked yawned at him. "You have got to be kidding me here, Lard Nar." He stated. "How many brain cells you have left in your body after each time we defeated you? I'm guessing, none."
"We will destroy the Armada if you don't give into our demands right now!"
Chuckling lightly at that, Zim stood back up to head to the nearest control panel making his digits dance along the keys. "I like to see you try, but for right now." Presses a button making the interior lights on the Resisty's ship light up prompting shocked gasps and questions on how that was possible.
"What?! How did you?" Lard Nar cried out looking all around him.
Grinning up at him, Zim replied, "In how you claim you know so much about the Massive, I too know much about your ship. So tell me... What do you want to do against us right now?"
From his perched station inside the Resisty's ship, Elias almost smirked a half dozen times towards the Irken before he secretly hoped the destruction will occur soon.
Pounding on his arm rest, Lard Nar decided to demand again. "We will destroy you if you don't give us what is rightfully ours. My people built your ships, so our ownership is automatically secured."
"Yes... Through payment that we ourselves have done." Zim could of swore his own brain was asking for a vacation after this. "You know after a bit of strong arming you. It makes being one of us so much fun."
Elias now covered his mouth to suppress his laughter after hearing that.
"You are highly pompous, Zim. That is it, you will be destroyed now!" Lard Nar called out.
"I'm pompous? You call, Zim pompous? I am so hurt. What will my wife say?" Zim asked sarcastically.
"Eh, I'm use to it by now." Came Gaz's voice as she entered to quickly sit down.
Zim smiled down at her while Lard Nar's mouth hung open at the sight of her. Elias was cocking his head back and forth admiring what she looked like without her father attacking her.
"Um well... Prepared for annihilation or destruction or..." Lard Nar was struggling to speak right now.
"PONIES!" Shrieked Gir's voice as he ran in and out of view of the camera.
"No not ponies. Whatever the hell that is. Oh, JUST DIE!" Lard Nar screamed out.
Zim once again started pressing buttons making the Resisty ship just stop and fume like an overheated toaster. Glancing over his shoulder to Gaz, he told her, "Glad I won't be over there smelling that."
Gaz smirked at watching that crew run around like someone cut off their heads all of a sudden before seeing the exterior image with flames clearly shooting out of it. "They do look like they smell awful."
"Okay, Lard Nar get back to me when you are in working order again because we can't wait around all day to see if you make good on your threat." Sitting down next to Gaz, he took her hand. "Now bye bye for now."
"WE'LL GET YOU!" Was Lard Nar's final call out before he blanked out the screen.
"Why not destroy them?" Gaz inquired.
"Because even we need a puppet to play with, my dear Gaz." Zim answered as he kissed her hand.
"Zim?"
"Gaz?"
"I have a feeling they were decoys for something else." Gaz's tone felt haunted. Worried. She hated when she got worried.
"Don't worry, Gaz-love, we'll tackle it head on." Kissing her hand again, Zim couldn't exactly tell her he had the same feeling himself.
"Wake my beauty."
"No."
Hand brushing against her face, she flinched as she tried to pull away from him. "You have no choice in the matter. Wake, my love."
"You aren't, my love. My love is elsewhere." Tak spat out trying to run away, but was pulled back.
"He'll die if you don't." Pressner promised. "Wake up, my dear."
Hands twitching, Tak prayed for this to stop now.
The scientists were carting her body to attach the shell to the suspended animation cavern. They didn't bother noticing the hand twitching along with her eyelids doing the same thing. Her arms moved and still no one noticed until her eyes shot open making one of the scientists gasp as they went about doing their readings, and opening up her shell. Her once purple eyes were black as she issued a growl before getting up so quickly, they had no time to react even when she killed them easily with her bare hands.
Watching soldiers running in, Tak knocked over one to take his gun before aiming, and shooting every one that was nearest to her. Some she would hit with the butt of the gun. Others by sheer force. Pressner knew she had this in her so to control her body like this was way too thrilling to the point that he wanted to make love to her right then and there.
Tak felt miserable as she felt not in control of herself as she killed every Irken on that ship before destroying the whole vessel while escaping in a Voot.
"I hate you." Tak declared for the millionth time.
Pressner laughed as he held her from behind. "Not for long you won't."
Tak hoped that someone could end this nightmare soon for her.
