Never know what to say for A/N so I'll just say I need a soda.

Zim noticed how red Dib's eyes got as his hands looked nothing like electrical current. He should of been slightly grateful he never knew of his own abilities until recently seeing how he instantly placed a shield around Jack and Tak. So him saying he had to be a protector of Earth and what not wasn't an exaggeration. Gaz just remained standing where she was as if nothing was out of place, but he knew there was something always lurking in her brain before he felt a telepathic thought drift over to him from her.

"Glad we had our private fun before this happened."

Zim smirked over to her. "I wouldn't mind a whole week filled of us in bed together next time."

Sparing him a glance, Gaz winked at him. "Let's hope."

"What a female." Zim growled lovingly to her making her giggle privately over back to him.

"Did you know that our mother had any type of abilities, Zim?" Dib inquired out of no where.

Zim was still quite sore at seeing her again. "All I knew was is that she is highly intelligent." Looks to both, Gaz and Dib. "Explains the both of you. Actually mostly, Gaz."

"Hey!" Dib cried out.

"Come on! You missed me making fun of you, Dib-stink."

"Perhaps, but that still was uncalled for."

Gaz looked between her brother and her husband before taking a glance over at a almost amused, Tak. "Do you both want to go into a room together and do some stuff together?" She suggested with a wave of her hand.

Zim didn't understand what she was getting at, but Dib's eyes turned normal as a sharp intake of air went through his nose. "Sick, Gaz. Really fucking sick!"

"What does she mean?"

"Hey Zim!" Tak called out. When Zim turned his attention to her, she decided to mock him, "Bow chicka wow wow."

"What?! Ugh! No." Zim grabbed Gaz to instantly kiss her.

Thumbs up, Dib's eyes then turned red again as he mocked him. "Way to prove your manhood, Zim."

Staring down at Gaz, Zim saw how amused she was. "You just want me to rip your clothes off right now, don't you, little Gaz?"

Gaz ignored the tortured whine from her brother. "I can do without the audience, but yes."

Dib just whined again. "You both really love torturing me."

"Yes." They both replied.

Skoodge was inside Tenn's quarters standing beside her. They were onboard the ship and he had no clue how to protect her from beings with all these powers. Also Gir wasn't of any help after he was in there for a short time before screaming out in boredom then making himself scarce by running down the corridor screaming about wanting burritos. Tenn's only reaction was to place her hand over her swollen belly.

"He's ahhhh loyal heh." Skoodge gave her a lopsided smile at her to quell down some of his nervousness.

Quirking only one of her antennas around, Tenn was decidedly more neutral with her observation. "Zim told me Red and Purple made Gir for him. I have a feeling they made all those defectives that were sent to me on Meekrob."

"They sent me away because even though I was successful in my mission I was too ugly."

Tenn looked over her friend from head to toe. "They were snobs anyhow."

"Yeah."

Tenn felt this to be a very strained conversation. "What else is on your mind?" She knew she sounded impatient the way she asked the question, but she couldn't take the tension anymore.

Studying her bump, Skoodge cleared his throat. "I think you should reconsider my offer and be my mate, Tenn."

Perhaps she shouldn't of asked that question. "And why should I do that?"

"Well so as not to be alone and such." He stammered out.

"You have got to be kidding me here."

Tenn's eyes widened at the sound of the voice just watching how Pressner materialized in front of them as he walked gracefully forward. Skoodge stepped in front of her raising his weapon making Pressner smile a bit.

"Please." With a wave of his hand he knocked Skoodge's gun out of his hand. "Also please tell us why she needs someone to mate with in order to raise her child. I'm quite curious."

Skoodge observed how casual this assassin acted making him stupidly stutter on the inside. "I don't need to justify myself to you."

Pressner saw how he raised himself up haughtily with that sentence. "True, but seeing that smeet inside her is also mines, I still am curious." Watching the male Irkens eyes widen there he almost pitied him.

"Pressner, is there a way you can leave me alone?" Tenn wondered way too casually as she stepped forward. "You just want me now because of this smeet."

Taking the briefest of glances over to Skoodge, Pressner instantly dismissed him placing him on the other side of the ship. At her expression, he said, "Don't worry about him he's alive for now." Stepping forth he reached out to touch her face surprised she was allowing him to. "Tenn I wanted you before I found out."

"Stop this." Placing a hand on his stomach Tenn pleaded for her whole race. "Please help us stop this."

Shifting his gaze to where her hand was resting, Pressner felt something practically springing lose on him as he went to shift his eyes back to her own. Taking her hand, he lifted it up bringing it to his lips for a gentle kiss. "I wish I could." His voice sounded so strangled. So in pain.

Taking her hand back Tenn didn't step away as she continued to look up at him in thought.

Psyllic came into the chambers to see them all prepared for him. "You look rather fetching, my dear." He said to Gaz.

"Stay away from my sister." Dib warned in a low voice.

"YES! Someone else besides myself gets that tired line." Zim grinned away to that almost to the point of dancing.

Gaz would of laughed if she could, but kept to staring Psyllic down as did, Dib. She had to assume Tak was too. Truthfully, she had no words right now and anything she would blurt out would seem idiotic. Painfully so.

"Your serpent is powerful indeed, but there are ways of killing it."

While the other occupants in the room knew the voice, Psyllic glanced between Gaz and Tak to see who spoke just now. It was a very practiced sounding voice. Elegant even. The expression on Zim's face made him uncomfortable in a way.

The voice continued on. "Ways of stopping it. Don't act so surprised, Sane." Psyllic's expression changed to disbelief. "Don't be so surprised since I am pretty old myself. Not quite your age, but I am there."

"My name is no longer that since it was Matronly who saw fit in changing it to that stupid name." Psyllic complained rather quietly.

The voice seemed to surround him as if in stereo now. "True, but at least you had the better personality name."

"Who am I speaking with?" He demanded since he was sick of these games already.

The voice went to his ear. "I'll reveal myself in time to you, but for now leave my namesakes be."

His namesakes? Psyllic first looked at Zim and Tak but then the siblings. Smirking, he almost growled out, "You are their mother." He chuckles. "Explains so much now."

The owner of the voice didn't seem to care about his revelation as she proceeded like nothing was said. "Now leave us be." She demanded.

Psyllic wondered many things about this mother of theirs as he stood there staring at Gaz. Hearing Zim snarl he turned his attention to him.

"Stay away from my wife!" Zim raged as he stepped forth.

Psyllic noticed and felt it coming from Zim again making him instantly go back to Plegerin. Calling back the others, he stood there just asking questions.

Dib looked towards the empty area. An area where Zim and Tak couldn't see what was so interesting, but the way Dib smiled and how his clothes shifted just at the shoulder by something unseen, they knew she was here, and he could see her right now. Zim looked over at Gaz to see her staring at the same spot.

"I wish I could materialize but it is difficult right now with low power." Miyuki told them all. "I came back here to try to prevent him from taking them away."

Dib stood there mentally wrestling with himself about the whole situation.

Tenn told the guards that everything is fine and that Pressner was gone, but in reality after she shut and locked the door he re-emerged. Tenn felt like she was out of her mind as she stared crossing the room, but remained where she stood in the middle of the room. She was trying to reach him. To appeal to a side she hoped he had at least.

"We can't keep going around in circles, Pressner." She told him so simply. "I won't budge from leaving here."

Silently he cursed himself for ever doing anything with Tak in the first place because things kept rolling into a huge large, shall he say? Shit pile. "And I refuse to separate a child from its mother." At the shocked expression on her face there, his mouth quirked down a bit. "You think I'm that heartless?"

"I know your reputation and I know what you've done. Are you telling me that..."

Raising his hand up, Pressner refused to hear her say it. "I know I destroyed my own kind, but the few that had babies had their memories wiped clean and are living happily elsewhere. Their whole genetic structure changed. While I hate competition. I hate killing babies."

Her eyes went wide. "There are smeets being born right now on Irk."

"But they have no true parents, Tenn."

"Weak excuse when I am one of them. That is how I was born. To kill them is to also insult someone you say you care about." Tenn countered.

Pressner acted as if he was slapped knowing how correct she was, but that hold on his own contract remained firm as he looked down. "There is still an agreement in place."

While she heard the regret she decided to close the gap between them. "Pressner..." Her voice had that pleading quality that said so much to him right then and there. "Our smeet."

He almost died as he felt his presence being beckoned upon by Psyllic. He kissed her gently on the mouth. "He's calling for my attention. I must depart."

Tenn felt something touch her cheek making her look up to see an actual tear falling from his eye. "Change your own destiny." Reaching up she wiped the tear from his face with her glove.

Pressner studied her after enjoying that brief touch from her. "I'll be back. I don't know when, but I will." After he said that he vanished.

Tenn will keep trying to appeal to him in hopes of his help. He had power and that is what they needed right now.
