Chapter Notes:

Well that's long so I decided to split it into two or three chapters I'm not sure. When you read this chapter you'll feel that Jimmy is out of character, remember that Jimmy and Evil Jimmy have become one united Jimmy since the end of the first chapter until now, his appearance: the strange thing is that united Jimmy kept that distinctive hairstyle and did not change it to that devilish hairstyle,the only change is that he wears a grey shirt with his yellow logo and a dark red apron with the buttons open over it, united Jimmy still has some feelings for Cindy But because of Evil Jimmy influence it's almost impossible for him to admit that even a little, Evil Jimmy's effect is that it has enabled him to be very stubborn more than normal.

As Sasha left the room, Cindy let out a shaky breath and buried her face in her hands.

She whispered while crying "Damn it!, Neudtron, this is all your fault, and it's always your fault, how are you going to fix it when you're not even yourself"

Since she had nothing else to do, she decided to sleep a little because her sleep last night was not good at all and she woke up early this morning.

17:45 PM

Well, she wanted to sleep for an hour or two but she fell into a deep sleep for hours, She was woken up by a loud explosion. Her heart raced as she jumped out of bed and rushed to the window. Her eyes widened in shock as she saw a plume of smoke rising from Jimmy's backyard. While she would surely take this opportunity to speak about him with the next portion of sarcasm, since that arrogant kid never got enough of his trouble, but she was completely wretched, what if he lost his life?

Without a second thought, she dashed out of her room and down the stairs, grabbing her shoes along the way.

In the kitchen, Sasha noticed her daughter's worried expression and thought,...Why should she worry so much?...

As she bolted out the front door, she saw Libby running towards her from across the street.

"Oh, What now!" Libby shouted, her eyes wide with worry and a mixture of disgust.

The two girls sprinted towards Jimmy's house, their minds racing with fear and worry. As they reached the backyard, they saw Jimmy lying on the ground with parts of what he had just invented strewn around him. He had his clothes were dirty and few minor cuts ans bruises but he was awake.

"When he's fooling with his stuff, it's something we all expect" Libby said "He's alive let's go, Cindy. . . or do you want to start teasing him again?"

Cindy didn't answer, she just stared worriedly, If she had to yell at him, she would later.

"Jimmy?.."Cindy began to remove the debris scattered on Jimmy.

Without even her help, Jimmy groaned and tried to stand, but his limbs were shaking.

There were some people and children staring in awe but when they saw Jimmy conscious, no one bothered to help him and they went back to their own business. among them was Sasha, but she didn't care either. she went back home because she was busy and thought that this was another opportunity for her daughter to make fun of him.

Libby said with a wry smile "Lucky, but don't rely on it too much because if you keep doing this you might end up in the hospital one day or worse"

Cindy sighed in relief but quickly turned angry and shouted at him "What do you think you're doing!, Neudtron, haven't you ever realized that life is more important than any stupid invention?, I can't take it anymore, I can't feel safe, idiot"

Jimmy struggled to his feet but was feeling dizzy, he stumbled and fell face first to the ground.

Libby let out a small laugh and Cindy knelt down beside Jimmy. He was still under the control of Evil Jimmy.

He said while lying in her arms "Why don't you enjoy watching me like this instead of..(He cough)..of pretending to be worried. you..(He cough)..you must be kidding"

She and Libby exchanged looks of disgust "Shut up!, you are just a scum who can't move" Cindy said annoyed.

Coincidentally, Nick was on his way, but when his eyes fell on the disaster, he stepped back a little, he hid and started watching, not wanting to interfere, thought sarcastically,...Neutron!, why don't you accept yourself as a loser genius instead of accidentally ruining your life?...

"you know it's not your fault" Jimmy insisted, his eyes gleaming with the influence of his evil clone "And you hate me, don't you?, so just mind your business and leave me alone"

"Ugh, I'm not worried about you, but about our lives from your crazy experiments" Cindy grumbled angrily, which Libby didn't believe "Think about moving to an exoplanet and then you can put yourself at risk as much as you want"

Jimmy moved away from her and stood up again, rolled his eyes expressionlessly and then started walking away, Cindy snorted angrily and then she stammered with a trembling eye behind him "Hey!, why don't you stop being stubborn and do what I say if you want to feel better?"

"I didn't thank you, I think I should move so I can do what I want" Jimmy laughed arrogantly like an idiot "Anyway, I'd rather be the scum of universe than listen to you" Then lost his balance and fell again.

"Jimmy!" Cindy screamed and rushed to grab him again.

"He is arrogant, Cin!, Just help this crazy scientist stand up and walk to his house" Libby said indifferently, Jimmy looked down angrily.

"Why didn't your parents hear anything, are they even home?" Cindy asked, hoping Jimmy's parents weren't at his house.

Jimmy hesitated in disgust for a moment before said defeatedly "They are not home. gh... A silly high school reunion event out of town, do not ask me"

"Really?, and they still leave you alone at home as if they don't know anything about you" Libby said laughing "You need a babysitter"

Jimmy said with a sarcastic smile "They know me well and they know I always find a way out of trouble., I'm very good at that" He managed to get up this time with Cindy's help and started walking away from her on his way home.

Cindy followed him and shouted after him "You!, don't act like we didn't exist. You couldn't even take care of yourself, so how are you going to do that when you're injured?"

Jimmy turned to her "And who said I'm going to blow myself up again? I can take care of myself, and as you said yourself, you shouldn't worry about me."

Cindy looked at him, then at her house, then at him. She was here to take advantage of the situation. She said angrily and grabbed his hand "I have some special ointments and treatments that you won't find anywhere else, and your house is very messy and noisy"

She dragged him with her to her house "Where to, Vortex? Just take me to my lab" Jimmy didn't have the energy to argue.

"You say you can take care of yourself and the first place that comes to your mind is your lab that brought you to this state?" She reached for the door handle and said with a sarcastic smile

Libby entered the house behind them smiling and thought,...I get you, Cin. You don't just want to treat his injuries, you really want to get him back...

There was no one to stand in her way, Cindy was determined, even if her mother screamed at her for hours, she had no other idea how to get rid of that Evil Jimmy.

Nick got out of hiding with a sour expression on his face, he thought,...No, she really does have feelings for him, the question is when and how the hell...Ugh!, This terrible

Jimmy was now sitting on her bed with his arms crossed. Cindy began cleaning his wounds "I know you are obsessed with experiments and inventions. But when will you stop that and live your life like any normal genius boy" she scolded him gently.

With his evil clone he was more aggressive now but he was too exhausted to argue "I'm not an idiot, my inventions often have unintended consequences and can sometimes be dangerous... but I strive to create an easier and brighter future, why do you care anyway?" Jimmy winced as she applied antiseptic to a cut on his arm.

"What future are you talking about?" Cindy smiled sarcastically, seeing through his tough exterior "Maybe if I hadn't saved your ass so many times you wouldn't be here with us right now"

Cindy finished her task and sat back, satisfied "What were you planning this time?" Libby asked.

"I won't tell you" Jimmy replied, he stood up to go "because anyway you'll call it junk like my previous inventions"

"Well, we won't call it junk just tell us what you've been working on" Cindy folded her arms and stopped him from passing.

Jimmy hesitated and rolled his eyes, He tried to reach the door but Cindy stood in his way "Excuse me!, I have to leave"

"No, big head, forget about your silly lab for at least one day" Cindy said angrily and pushed him hard, causing him to stumble and lie on her bed.

Jimmy felt angry and Libby said with a smile in support of Cindy's plan "Yeah, your body is asking you to have mercy and relax, you are not the type to live long"

Jimmy tried to generate dark power from his hands but couldn't and muttered to himself in shock and annoyance "Why can't I?"

"You can't what?" Cindy asked in confusion but she already knew why he was upset.

Jimmy gritted his teeth and squeezed his hand much harder but it was no use "My power!, where did it go?"

Libby pulled Cindy back and whispered "Cin, i think you should keep him with you a little longer and see where this goes."

Cindy smiled and became very hopeful "I know, why do you think I stopped him from leaving?, if those powers of his are from his evil clone, and now he can't use them anymore, this means that he might lose control of Jimmy as well"

Libby said with a sarcastic smile "Yeah, you might be the key, keep it up" Jimmy interrupted their conversation.

Jimmy said angrily "Both of you! What are you whispering about? If it's meant to be sarcastic, I'm ready to kill you both" He continued to squeeze his hand for a few moments until he sighed in defeat.

"Ready?, without your powers, you can't do anything" Libby replied with a sarcastic smile. This made Jimmy's face turn red with anger and Cindy interrupted him and approached, pointing to his clothes.

"Neudtron!, no girl will be attracted to you if you stay in these dirty clothes" Cindy said jokingly, Libby was surprised by her words, Jimmy became more seething.

Cindy said with a sarcastic smile "Shh, I'm just kidding, what I mean is you need a bath to relax, I can clean your clothes until they're brand new" motioned for him to follow her.

Jimmy's anger subsided but he was annoyed with her "You clean my clothes? A bath? I'm not your toy, do you think that you are my babysitter?, Vortex"

Libby said with a smile "What's wrong Jimmy?, I didn't know you were afraid of water" She is here to help Cindy and she will not leave until they are rid of this nightmare of his evil clone.

Jimmy stood up to follow Cindy, He muttered to himself in annoyance "Where did my power disappear to and why at this time?, dang it!"

Cindy's semi-sarcastic smile remained as she grabbed his arm and led him towards her bathroom "You need to clean up. You're not going home covered in grime and soot" she said firmly.

Jimmy tried to pull away, his annoyance palpable "I can clean up at my own house, This is unnecessary"

"Come on, silly" Libby jokingly pushed him away "You really need a babysitter"

Cindy clenched her fist, her smile never faltering. "There's no hope, Neudtron. Your parents aren't home, and I wouldn't trust you to take care of yourself in this situation"

For the first time ever, Jimmy's evil (Evil Jimmy) side blushes and is annoyed, eyes narrowed with suspicion "Why do you . . .care?"

Cindy shrugged nonchalantly. "Just trying to make sure you don't destroy yourself before you turn twenty," she said, her tone light but with an edge of genuine concern. "Now, in you go" She opened the bathroom door and shoved him inside, leaving him no room for argument.

Jimmy stood there, looking around the bathroom, feeling both out of place and annoyed. He glanced back at Cindy, who was still blocking the door. "This is ridiculous. I'm not a child"

Cindy folded her arms and raised an eyebrow "Then stop acting like a child and take a shower. I'll have your clothes cleaned up by the time you're done"

Cindy stepped out, closing the door behind her, but not before leaving some suitable clothes on the counter for him. Jimmy sighed in defeat and muttered "Damn!, Didn't you say you weren't worried about me?" before starting to undress, he opened the door a little and threw her on the floor.

Cindy let out a breath she didn't realize she'd been holding. She walked over to Libby, who was waiting in the hall. "He is incredibly stubborn" she whispered.

Libby grinned "You're something, Cin. You really have become dominant. what's next?"

Cindy began putting Jimmy's dirty clothes into the washing machine "I need to keep him here long enough to make sure he's okay. His powers not working is a good sign. But we need to be careful. If he realizes what we're up to, he might resist even more"

Libby nodded "Makes sense. So, you plan to keep him here overnight?"

Cindy shrugged, a small, nervous smile playing on her lips "If that's what it takes. even if he won't admit it. And if I can get him to trust me a little more, maybe we can break this clone's control for good"

Libby chuckled softly "And here I thought you just wanted to keep him close"

Cindy rolled her eyes "This is just a bonus" she said in a joking tone but her eyes were serious "He needs us now, whether he likes it or not, Timmy's not here to mess things up again"

Inside the bathroom, Jimmy let the hot water run over his body, easing the tension in his muscles. Despite his discomfort, he couldn't deny that the shower was relaxing. He leaned against the wall, his mind racing. Why was Cindy so determined to help him? Despite her constant joking?

He muttered to himself angrily, this was the evil side of him "even though she's annoying, You were right, I think this shit really has feelings for you" His words were directed to the real Jimmy.

Outside, darkness had fallen. The house was quiet, save for the soft hum of the washing machine and the murmur of conversation between Cindy and Libby.

In the kitchen, Sasha had a strange feeling. She knew Cindy often spent time with Libby, but tonight, she sensed something different. There had been a third voice—one she couldn't place. Curiosity piqued, she decided to investigate.

Sasha climbed the stairs and knocked gently on Cindy's bedroom door "Cindy, Libby, everything alright in there?"

Cindy and Libby exchanged quick glances. Cindy stepped forward, opening the door wide enough for her mother to see "Hi, Mom. Everything is okay. Do you need anything?"

Sasha peered past Cindy into the room, her curiosity unabated. "I thought I heard another voice"

Cindy's heart raced, but she smiled casually "Uh-huh, just me and Libby. You probably heard the TV"

Libby nodded, backing up Cindy's lie "Yeah, we were watching a movie earlier. Lots of explosions and stuff. You know how it is"

Sasha frowned slightly, still not entirely convinced "I could have sworn I heard a boy's voice"

Cindy laughed, trying to keep the mood light "Mom, your hearing is really good. Maybe it's the neighbors' kids. They can be pretty loud"

"Well?...what about that washing machine?" Sasha raised her eyebrow and asked. luckily for Cindy, the hum of the washing machine drowned out the sounds of Jimmy taking a shower. actually, Jimmy tried to be calm because he was kind of afraid of someone other than Cindy interfering.

"Why?, is it strange that I wash my clothes, this is not the first time, mom" Cindy answered immediately.

Sasha hesitated, then nodded "Alright, but if anything's going on, don't hide it from me, okay?"

Cindy smiled reassuringly "Of course, Mom. Everything's good here. Just a girls' night"

Satisfied for the moment, Sasha retreated back downstairs, though she couldn't shake the feeling that something was off. Cindy was relieved to see that her mother had not headed to the bathroom. Despite the hum of the washing machine, the light emanating from under the door was still the only evidence of someone else's presence.

"That was close, It's better to wait by the bathroom instead of your room" Libby said, shaking her head.

Cindy nodded, "Naturally!, If mom finds out Jimmy is here, it's game over" She sighed in annoyance "I don't even think she'd allow that if she found out there was a boy here, let alone a Neutron"

"I know" Libby sighed "yeah, it would have been more comfortable if your mother hadn't hated him"

Meanwhile, Jimmy finished his shower in the bathroom and came out, wrapping a towel around himself. He felt a little better, though the frustration of his lack of strength lingered. He put on the clothes Cindy had left him, Ripped black jeans and a green Ultra Lord t-shirt. This was one of the t-shirts that Sheen gave to Libby and then she forgot it at Cindy's house. grumbling under his breath "Now, I'm done with this, I want to get back to the lab"

As he exited the bathroom, Cindy and Libby were waiting for him. Cindy crossed her arms and gave him a scrutinizing look "Better, big head?"

Jimmy grabbed his shirt with a look of extreme annoyance on his face "I hate... this shirt!, green has never been my favorite color"

"Oh my foolishness!, I forced you to shower before I even realized we didn't have any clothes for the boys" Cindy nodded stupidly and mumbled with a goofy smile "you would have walked out naked, if I hadn't accidentally found Sheen's shirt—"

"Rude girl!" Jimmy interrupted her with a sly smile "Why do you think I would rather go out naked than wait for my clothes to dry?, and what about that towel?"

The two girls exchanged awkward glances for a moment.

Jimmy can't take this anymore "Whatever. thanks for nothing I'm leaving now"

Cindy blocked his path again, her expression softening slightly "You're not going anywhere, Neutron. I know this is hard for you, but you really need to tone down your science obsession. I don't mean to be jealous of you, I just... I think you spend more time in your lab than at home, and that's unnatural and ridiculous. L..Listen, you can sleep here tonight"

"Don't interfere in my affairs and stop saying that I'm obsessed "Jimmy clenched his fists, clearly annoyed "Well, I admit that science is the most important thing to me, but I am not a obsessed"

Cindy's face turned serious "So, don't act like a child, would it kill you to spend one night away from your lab?"

"Of course not, stop exaggerating" Then Jimmy raised his eyebrow skeptically "I'm going home, not to the lab. Do you think my bed is dangerous too?"

Cindy's face turned red and Libby let out a deep sigh, trying to find another excuse.

Cindy still stood in his way, she swallowed and started to sweat pleadingly. Jimmy noticed her confused expression and then for a moment he said against his will "Fine. But I'm not happy about this" The two girls smiled which made the evil side (Evil Jimmy) realize what he said, he looked down with a terrified face and muttered to himself "Oh shit, did you just agree to this?"

Then Jimmy looked at Libby saw her smile sarcastically,...When did they start wanting to be around me like this, is it because I'm a fun joke to them huh?..., While he was thinking, he found himself walking to Cindy's room against his will, upset, and he felt Cindy's triumphant smile behind him, and she said "You don't have to be happy about this. Libby and I just want to have a good night's sleep without being woken up by another explosion"

"I said!...I wouldn't even go to my...LAB!" He turned to her suddenly "why are you smiling?" Cindy's smile quickly faded but she knew he had caught her.

Libby tried to get her friend out of this predicament. She smiled and patted Jimmy on the back "Welcome to the slumber party. We have popcorn and movies. Try to enjoy yourself"

"Since when did you let me stay in your room?" Jimmy muttered under his breath as Cindy set up a makeshift bed for him on the floor.
