The answer to your question, Ngrey is Yep.
Invader Johnny - You must dislike her. Wow! Hehe.
Everclear - You want me to get a room for you and your imaginary crush? :)
Two ships down so far in the Armada. It was hard for them to make sense of her seeing they were able to shoot at her, but nothing was harming her. Dark black eyes stared back blankly before an attack was made. She was silent as death, and as fast as she came, she left. When the footage was sent directly to Zim, he frowned knowing those fools on the Resisty were a distraction, but he didn't know to what until now. Tak had a huge working knowledge of the Armada since she was an Irken. He didn't deny what she could do, but wished it didn't come down to this for once as he told everyone in the Armada along with Irk to be on high alert from her.
He knew she wasn't truly dead, but even he had a feeling that Tak wouldn't enjoy being felt like a weapon against her own kind. Sighing, he almost tugged his own antenna in frustration.
Gaz being beside him, gently took a hold of his hand to say, "We'll figure it out, Zim."
Glancing over at her, he took in everything like he always did. He was always afraid of losing her, and he loved how she supported him, but the fear of losing her made it impossible to breath. She probably felt his fear right now by the gentle squeeze he gave him.
It was 2 in the morning with only one wandering around the house in thought when she went upstairs to look out the window at the end of the hallway when she heard Jack's voice. Going in, he was laying there in his bed with his eyes wide open already staring at her.
"Jack, you okay?" Tenn wondered going to reach in for him, but was met with him shaking his head to move from her. "Oh, what is it? What do you want?"
"Want daddy." His eyes were so clear saying that. "Been calling for him."
Squinting her eyes a little, she told him she will be back, and headed to Dib's room not bothering to knock. She almost did, but if he wasn't answering his son's calls that made her worry so she thought to hell with discretion if she was here to protect. Going in, she saw him immediately, and saw him sleeping soundlessly as she went to the side of his bed to pick up his monitor to find it dead. Rolling her eyes, she touching him gently on the shoulder while saying his name.
Eyes opening up quickly to see her over him, Dib grabbed his glasses to sit up. "Tenn?"
"Your son wants you."
Looking at the monitor on why he didn't hear him, he was getting out of bed quickly enough. "Thank you."
"I'll put new batteries in this right away."
"Thank you. They are in the hallway table." Leaving his room he made a beeline to Jack to be greeted by a worried look in his eyes. "Jack, what is the matter?" Picking him up, he went to sit down on the chair with him.
Jack was silent as his tiny hands clutched Dib's t-shirt. He seemed apprehensive. Nervous.
Running his hand gently down his back to soothe him, Dib spoke softly to him grateful that as a half Irken he had more of a vocabulary for a baby at his age compared to humans. "You can tell me anything."
"Mom. Miss mom."
Sighing unhappily, he kissed the top of his head. "I miss her too. Did you have a dream?"
Jack nodded.
"What was it? You can tell me anything."
"Black eyes. Liquid on the ground. Boom. Mom not happy."
Dib was afraid of asking, but the tightening in his chest he knew he had to. "Jack?"
Eyes moistened he looked into Dib's eyes with his lips trembling. "Daddy they hurting mommy. Mommy don't want to be used. Mommy is back."
Dib knew she would come back, but he hoped this was just a regular nightmare instead of something horrific happening to her. Dib didn't know if he was breathing or not, but he held up his son higher against him holding him telling Jack it will be all right with a worried look in his own eyes.
Pressner and Psyllic looked upon Elias as he spoke of what happened between Zim and the Resisty members making Pressner lean back wondering, 'What the hell?' And Psyllic believing his son seriously went psycho.
"I know it is against those idiots, but you have to admit it was funny." Elias told them as he tried to go for a drink, but his dad instantly stopped him.
"No drinks at this time." Psyllic said acidly. "Tell me son, are you actually respecting that Irken?"
"No, I'm not. I just thought it was funny that is all." Elias replied with a large wave of one hand. "Seriously, didn't you ever have a sense of humor?"
Once, Psyllic thought.
"Hey, I finally got a look at that Queen. Much easier without you on her. Anyhow, I don't blame you for getting all hot and bothered by her." Elias continued. "Even Lard Nar looked impressed."
Lifting his hand up to mindlessly check his nails, Pressner really wanted to leave here at once if he was going to keep baring witness to this father-son chat. It seemed Psyllic wanted to avoid it as well when he finally turned back to him.
"Tell me, Pressner, how are things on your end? I mean, I have seen the destruction so how is her torment?" Psyllic wanted to hear every bit of torturous thought now.
Smiling, he was proud of his nymph. "Each day she begs to me to end this, but obviously we won't. It hurts her to do this to her own kind."
Teeth on full display, he grinned. "Amazing and where is the Irken right now?"
"Giving her a bit of rest before I jolt her on more of her duties."
Nodding his head, Psyllic decided on another venture. "Time for the both of you to take a tour of Irk. Don't engage. Find every nuance you can find."
"Funny, dad. If we are the creators of this universe then you would know them."
Not enjoying his sons behavior, he grabbed him by his collar bringing him forth. "We are, but even creators lose sight of things so go and you are to follow, Pressner's lead."
"Why him? I'm your son." Elias practically wailed.
"Unlike you, Pressner does his job impeccably at all times." He said breathing into his face. "Now go."
Glaring at his father, he decided to do as he was told as they both left Plegerin for Irk. For Psyllic, he wished he had more able bodied offspring. Ridiculous out of all he had it was Elias who was old enough and willing enough to do every dirty job given. He should of been thankful, but he wasn't.
Allowing Tenn to leave the house to go and explore, Dib sat on the couch mulling over things from the lab. Well trying to mull things over since all he could hear was his son's voice in his head about Tak. Jack has always been this brave little mass, and there he was scared. Sighing, he lifted the monitor up to make sure it was really working while even making sure the camera was too, before glancing mindlessly at his own computer screen. He continued sighing. He swore he was sweating. He would love for Tak to come back to the land of the living, but with Jack scared it made him wonder too many things.
Hearing the knocking of his door, he placed his computer aside, and walked over to answer it wondering with all the technology they had in the house, why was there no peep hole. Opening the door, his mouth dropped open and his breathing increased as a hand grabbed him to press his lips against hers. Was this a dream? A trick?
Pulling away from her slightly, he noticed her fear written in her eyes as he closed the door behind her, and saw how her pak was still in shambles. "Tak?"
"Dib, I don't have much time before he comes back." She was grasping the fabric of his shirt. "Please, Dib you have to help me. Pressner has taken over my body and since I've waken up in some... Zombie-like trance. I have killed countless Irkens on two Armada ships and he is planning on doing more damage."
Holding her close to him he had no clue if this was a trick or not. "Your pak. How are you functioning with it like that?"
"Most got imbedded inside my body. The major functions of it, that is why." Eyes full of moisture, she wanted to take him in. "Dib please be careful of him. He hates you more than anyone else."
Continuing to hold her, he had to kiss her again. He loved her familiar taste and feeling. "My only concern is Jack and you. This does include my sister and Zim."
"How is Jack? I miss him so much." She didn't want to stop touching him. She wanted to wash herself in him right now. Bringing his face down again, she kissed him briefly so he could answer.
"Healthy. Smart. Amazing like you. He misses you."
Crying against him, Tak wrapped her arms around his waist. "I miss him. I miss both of you. I love you so much."
Dib decided to take her over to the couch to sit her down as they still held one another. She was shaking in his arms. His once self-assured, Tak was shaking. Scared. How can he separate this bastard away from her?
Tak knew she didn't have much time with him, but she needed to feel his touch so she started to kiss his neck letting her hands drift down to lift up his shirt. "I need you, Dib."
In spite of his misgivings, Dib knew this was his Tak in front of him. Broken and battered, and obviously used by this asshole. He almost stopped her, but each touch she did along with each kiss she placed on his ever exposed skin made him stop as he helped her out of her clothes. He loved her entirely as he let her take control right now. "I love you."
Standing in the threshold between their bedroom and living room, Gaz was deep in thought before laughing at when she became so soft. Was it Dib's or Zim's fault there? Or did she actually mature? Sighing, she knew she was distracting herself with the task at hand. Should they separate Tak from Pressner or kill her entirely? Still if they kill her it will leave them with having to kill that ass.
Life was so much fun when you simply could maim someone without so much regret, she thought.
Feeling Zim's unease of her being gone this long, she went to leave just to be grabbed by the waist and tossed on the bed making her instantly bring up her flame just to get her body held down roughly before Psyllic's body formed on top of her. Growling at him she went to yell, but found duct tape on her lips.
Psyllic took his time scanning down her body as he enjoyed the cleavage the dress was now displaying in this position rather when she was simply standing. "I could simply take you with me again." Gaz's eyes squinted more. "Maybe brainwash you. Make you forget that your husband exists." Gaz growled at that. "Why him?" Her eyes rolled at the question before looking elsewhere like she was bored. "What is the matter, Queen? Cat got your tongue?" Gaz began to hum under him.
Repositioning her arms, he made sure to grasp tightly with one hand holding down her tiny wrists in it, while with the other he decided to be bold in wanting to play with her hair brushing it back to reveal a bite mark. "Awe he marked you. Such perfection on you and he marred you. I could remove this." That got her struggling again under him making his eyebrow lift up. "Oh, this is significant to you. Perhaps I'll remove it anyhow."
Gaz yelled under her duct tape as she continued to struggle as she redirected her anger into energy knocking him off of her, and her jumping at him in a swift kicking motion. Ripping the tape off, she glared at him before launching him out the other side of the room. Psyllic was raising up his energy field at her, but opening the door to her quarters, she picked his body up after engulfing it with flames and tossing his body out in the corridor startling the many soldiers going past. She'd have to wonder why they didn't hear the ruckus in the first place later on as she stalked out.
"What is your deal?" She growled out. "Why do you have to come after me? What is your problem with this race anyhow?"
Psyllic smiled gently down at her. She was nothing but this firestorm. He loved it. "Plenty. Plenty." Seeing Zim out of the corner of his eye, he turned to look at him. "You can't stop me, Tallest, and I see the only thing to spare on this ship is her."
"I am not no Mary Jane here. Not a damsel in distress you fucking pervert." Gaz declared.
"Did you realize a mistake when it comes to humans and Irkens? You say you created humans to replace our kind which means this was the exact reason why it is possible for us to mate and raise a family together." Zim wondered.
Psyllic narrowed his eyes at him. "You know how easy it is for me just to wipe you out now instead of do all that I do right now? It is quite easy, but since that bores me to tears, I hope you enjoy everything that will come your way." Glances back to Gaz before disappearing.
Almost biting her lip, she looked at Zim, "Wow, he makes talking to Iggins incredibly pleasant." She said sarcastically as she walked up to him.
"You alright?"
"How much I want to hear, victory for Zim right about now."
Seeing all his crew members give him a perplexed look, he knew it had to do with one piece of information that was mentioned about humans and Irkens. Zim never mentioned this because this is not proven as of yet even though the proof lied in Jack.
Tak lifted her head up, and got off the couch quickly to start pulling her clothes on.
"Tak?" Getting up, he wanted to stop her.
Eyes wide with panic. "I have to go now, Dib. I have to. He'll be returning very soon please be safe you and Jack." Slipping on her shirt sloppily, she pulled him down for a final kiss. "I love you. I love you both."
"Tak, we can help you.. I don't want you to leave." He tried pulling her to him, but she slipped away.
"I don't either. I don't want to leave, but I have to." Running to the door in fear, she gave Dib a final look. "Please be safe."
Dib stared at the door dumbfounded till he slipped on his pants to run outside calling out her name. "No this isn't good." He said to himself running back inside to check on Jack and to call Zim. They had to know.
Not daring to be far from Jack's room, he took his computer and sat on the ground in the hallway to speak to him, where the first words out of his mouth to Zim were, "Tak was just here."
"What? Is everything all right? Jack?"
Dib kinda enjoyed the panic in his voice right now. "Jack is fine. I am. Her, not so much." Dib told him what she said to him before groaning out.
"Unusual question, but..." Zim glanced behind him. "You really think we should?"
Dib heard Gaz informing him he has a right to know. "Yeah, I do."
Zim grunted. "Fine, but you won't enjoy it. We don't."
Dib watched the footage of Tak walking unusual as she killed countless lives before leaving. Not a word was said and her walking and stance was so much different than how she normally was. "Tak's eyes are black in this when her eyes were normal when she was here."
"Because she said Pressner wasn't there for the time being." Zim thought out loud. "How can we separate them? We have been thinking about this for some time now since the attacks."
"Where is Tenn?" Gaz inquired from behind Zim.
"Out exploring." Dib answered.
He felt the difference the very second he stepped back into her body again to the point it drove him to anger as he stalked over to her seated form, and knock her on the ground completely. Tak's eyes tried to show defiance, but he saw the cracks in her.
"Soon enough even he will be dead, Tak." Pressner promised.
Raising her head up, she refused to back down. "You don't know him then. You don't know any of them at all."
Crouching down to be more eye level with her, he lightly chuckled. "My dear, yes they defeated you years ago together, but you are nothing but an insignificant speck compared to us right now."
Tak stared at him in silence before she started to laugh as much as she did long ago before on top of that weenie stand. It may of not been an attractive laugh to many. It may of been weird if anyone else heard it right now given the circumstance, but she decided to stand on her own two feet. "No. No, you are entirely wrong about them, just like I was as well long ago. You will be defeated."
It was a defiance she needed to have done. Something she was proud of as she turned her back to him to walk as far away from him as possible for the time being.
Pressner remained in his position as the very edge of his lips upturned into a slight smile as he watched her retreating form.
Tenn came upstairs to see Dib sitting in the hallway with his laptop on top of his outstretched legs as he busily typed away. She received a call from Zim to rush home right away since Tak paid a visit there, and while there was no fighting that occurred between those twos, she knew the moment she stepped into the house that there was something that happened due to the pheromone level in there. Of course his clothes were placed on incorrectly. Shirt inside out with one sleeve slightly still in.
"Dib?" She spoke quietly. "Zim told me to rush home."
"Tak wouldn't harm me or Jack." He said in a slightly monotoned voice as he continued typing away. "She wasn't possessed by that asshole at the moment when she took a chance coming here."
Walking a bit past him to peer into Jack's bedroom, she turned around to sit down close to him. "What are you doing?"
"Just going through some variables right now."
Even though she knew what he did not so long ago, Tenn unabashedly enjoyed his scent knowing which was his, by living with him, and Tak's simply because female scent differs. Also she couldn't help to feel a little jealous. Blinking her eyes to try to get the sensation away, she concentrated on the screen. "Trying to figure out how to separate her. Kinda hard since you don't know Pressner's genetic code."
Sighing, he lifted his glasses to rub his eyes. "True, but I have to keep running them until we do, correct?"
"Correct." There was a long moment of silence where she had no clue on what to say to him since she was distracted. "Zim suggests I should stick close by."
"Hmm." Was his only response. "A plumber will be out tomorrow. I won't be surprised with the amount of work in there."
"Pity your dad didn't have an invention like he did for his own labs so you can put it to work here."
Turning his head to smile at her, he just said, "Dad checked out the second mom passed so while everything else has that ability, he didn't bother with his own bedroom. Eventually I will get around to it." Letting out a breathy laugh, he indicated his old room with just a hand gesture. "Amount of times my wall has been blasted out and stuff in there, it amazes me that I'm even alive at times."
"Well that just means you are a much stronger guy than you appear." Tenn breathed out. "How about Gaz? Anything like that happened with her room?"
"Not really, not unless she was pissed when she was far more younger, and had no understanding of her powers. Later on it didn't help with me chasing Zim around the house and he used her room to escape from." Leaning his head back, his head was still turned to look at her. "Man that was forever ago now."
Is it wrong to want to kiss someone who was with someone else a while ago? Tenn thought in her confusion. "Do you want to take a shower? At least with me home I can keep an eye out on him."
"Yeah. Thanks." Expertly getting off the ground while keeping his computer levitated in an upright position, he first headed off to his bedroom for a change of clothes to bring in with him.
Once Dib was in the bathroom with the shower fully running, Tenn was still on the ground in the same position in deep thought before she put her head on her knees. "It was far simpler invading planets." She groaned out in despair.
Don't ask about the whole Tak thing right now.
