Irken Round‭ ‬19ZZR
Location:‭ ‬Milky Way Galaxy
Currently Passing Planet Mars

Green eyelids fluttered,‭ ‬and Zim heard the quiet‭ ‬‘shf‭’‬ing of Irken medical equipment.‭ ‬Strange.‭ ‬Had he been in the human‭’‬s home for so long he was beginning to hallucinate,‭ ‬now‭? ‬Rolling his eyes towards a small window,‭ ‬the Irken saw Earth a ways off.‭ ‬So that was it.‭ ‬He‭’‬d had this dream a few times since Dib captured him,‭ ‬and the planet should be exploding in three...two...one...

A supernova-esque explosion engulfed the ball of blue and green at just the moment Zim expected,‭ ‬and his lips twitched a bit.‭ ‬Definitely this dream again,‭ ‬then.‭ ‬In that case,‭ ‬Flurn should be showing up any moment to tend to his wounds,‭ ‬and so the Invader turned away from the window to wait.

After several long minutes,‭ ‬Zim started getting confused.‭ ‬Flurn had always shown up by this point in the dream‭; ‬bandaging him while showering him in apologies for shattering what little heart the smaller boy had been willing to go against his Pak and show.‭ ‬Zim decided that perhaps the dream was a bit different this time,‭ ‬and he‭’‬d have to find Flurn on his own.

An attempt to shove himself up into a sitting position failed,‭ ‬and Zim realized that his bonds had followed him into his dreams this time.‭ ‬Another Irken,‭ ‬a bit shorter than Zim,‭ ‬came over at his movement,‭ ‬and pressed down on his chest.‭ ‬“Stay still,‭ ‬Invader‭! ‬You need to heal.‭”

Zim gave a short bark of laughter.‭ ‬“Why should Zim...stay put in his dreams‭? ‬Hm‭? ‬This is the only way he can do...anything lately‭,‬ so leave me alone‭!‬” He jerked away from the other‭’‬s touch,‭ ‬and immediately regretted moving.‭ ‬The wounds that Dib-pig had given him seemed to have stayed intact in the dream as well.‭ ‬Odd.‭ ‬That...had not happened before.

The medical drone snapped her fingers,‭ ‬and a table-headed drone rushed over.‭ ‬The medic took a small tube from the other,‭ ‬smearing a pale yellow gel across her fingers,‭ ‬and began rubbing it into Zim‭’‬s forehead.‭ ‬The Invader closed his eyes‭; ‬enjoying the pleasant,‭ ‬numbing effect the gel spread throughout his body.‭ ‬“It‭’‬s all right now,‭ ‬Invader.‭ ‬This isn‭’‬t a dream,‭ ‬and you‭’‬ll be able to do plenty more once you‭’‬ve been able to heal properly.‭ ‬Now get some rest,‭”‬ she murmured,‭ ‬rubbing the last of the gel into Zim‭’‬s skin and dropping the tube back onto the table-headed drone.

Zim wasn‭’‬t quite sure he was able to believe what the drone was saying to him,‭ ‬but it certainly seemed like a nice thought.‭ ‬And he had gotten the Dib‭’‬s sister to agree to help him.‭ ‬As he drifted into a sleep induced by the gel,‭ ‬he had to think that it would be nice if he wasn‭’‬t dreaming after all.

‎~‏-‎~‏-‎~

Shtirk watched from the front windows of the Massive as Earth exploded in a blaze of fire and garbage.‭ ‬His lips curled back in disgust at how‭ ‬much filth had just been spewed into space,‭ ‬and he gave a quick order to a drone to make sure all the pollutants were blasted by the ship‭’‬s lasers.‭ ‬Supposedly,‭ ‬Irk had been made into the unlivable ball of dirt it was today by the debris falling from a nearby bit of space that had housed a heavily polluted planet,‭ ‬until one of the planet‭’‬s stupid inhabitants had accidentally blown the whole thing into nothing.‭ ‬Shtirk personally didn‭’‬t believe the tale,‭ ‬but it was still a nasty thought.

A door leading from the main deck opened with a quiet‭ ‬‘shwoop‭’‬,‭ ‬and Shtirk turned to see Flurn enter,‭ ‬followed by the human girl.‭ ‬Her face was buried in some primitive gaming device,‭ ‬and Shtirk frowned.‭ ‬Didn‭’‬t she realize just‭ ‬whose presence she was in‭? ‬The red-eyed Irken cleared his throat,‭ ‬raising an eye ridge at the girl.‭ ‬Flurn nudged her,‭ ‬and she sighed,‭ ‬flicking the game‭’‬s power switch,‭ ‬and slipped it into a pocket.‭ ‬“So.‭ ‬You fixed a Spittle Runner,‭ ‬huh‭?‬”

“I guess,‎”‏ the human replied,‎ ‏looking around the deck.‭ ‬“Nice place you got.‭”

Shtirk smirked.‭ ‬“Thanks.‭ ‬I decorated myself.‭”‬ Hovering across the floor,‭ ‬he looked down at the girl,‭ ‬inspecting her.‭ ‬“You have a name,‭ ‬human‭?‬”

“Gaz.‎”

“Okay then,‎ ‏drone-in-training Gaz.‭ ‬Let‭’‬s give you a quick test‭; ‬make sure you actually can work on our equipment.‭”

Gaz sighed.‭ ‬“Can you make it quick‭? ‬I‭’‬ve tried a million times to kill Count Pigula,‭ ‬and he keeps killing me with acid vomit.‭ ‬I‭’‬d like to get back to that.‭”

“Pause as soon as he‎ ‏opens his mouth.‭ ‬He‭’‬ll be frozen for five seconds when you start it back up,‭”‬ Flurn said,‭ ‬leading Gaz across the deck.

‎“‏You‭’‬ve played Piggy Hunters‭ ‬8‭?‬” Gaz asked in surprise.

‎“‏Oh,‭ ‬yeah,‭”‬ Flurn replied.‭ ‬“The Miyamotians send their games through the whole‭ ‬universe.‭ ‬Your planet was one of the last to get anything,‭ ‬I guess.‭ ‬That one came out ages ago.‭”

Shtirk cleared his throat again,‭ ‬frowning at the other two.‭ ‬“If you‭’‬re finished,‭ ‬can we move on‭?‬” Flurn grinned sheepishly,‭ ‬nodding and pushing Gaz forward.‭ ‬“Okay.‭ ‬Now,‭ ‬we‭’‬ll give you one week to fix everything here,‭”‬ he said,‭ ‬pulling a sheet off a rather large table,‭ ‬“and if you can do it,‭ ‬you get the technician job.‭ ‬And that‭’‬s an Irken week.‭ ‬Earth‭’‬s orbit was pretty fast compared to the rest of the universe,‭ ‬so I‭’‬d estimate it to be about six or so weeks for you.‭”

Gaz nodded,‭ ‬picking up some sort of gun that was broken in two.‭ ‬“And if I don‭’‬t‭?‬”

“We shoot you out the airlock.‎”

“Shtirk‎!‏”

“What‎?‏” Flurn glared at the red-eyed Tallest.

‎“‏Don‭’‬t worry about me‭; ‬I‭’‬ll be fine,‭”‬ Gaz said boredly,‭ ‬picking up the other half of the gun to see how it would go together.‭ ‬“I got this.‭”

Flurn looked at Shtirk nervously before slowly nodding.‭ ‬“Okay.‭ ‬Don‭’‬t think Shtirk‭’‬s kidding,‭ ‬though‭; ‬got it‭?‬”

Gaz glanced at the Irken for a moment before rolling her eyes and turning back to the equipment.

‎“‏Come on,‭ ‬Flurn.‭ ‬Let‭’‬s leave her to it,‭”‬ Shtirk said,‭ ‬wrapping an arm around the purple-eyed Tallest‭’‬s shoulders and leading him back towards their rooms.

‎~‏-‎~‏-‎~

Several hallways over,‭ ‬Zim woke up again.‭ ‬He glanced around the small,‭ ‬white room he was in,‭ ‬easily recognizing it as a healing quarters,‭ ‬but unsure as to how he‭’‬d arrived in it.‭ ‬A female medical drone walked over to him,‭ ‬and Zim realized it was the same one who‭’‬d told him his dream wasn‭’‬t a dream earlier.‭ ‬“Hello,‭ ‬Invader.‭ ‬How are you feeling‭?‬” she asked quietly,‭ ‬smoothing a squishy purple ball between his left antenna,‭ ‬and the small nub that had been left of his right.

‎“‏Tired,‭”‬ Zim murmured.‭ ‬“You were in‭ ‬Zim‭’‬s dream earlier.‭”

The drone smiled,‭ ‬pulling the ball back off and studying it.‭ ‬“I believe I told you that you weren‭’‬t dreaming,‭ ‬remember‭? ‬And according to this,‭ ‬you‭’‬re in fairly good shape,‭ ‬considering that you were captured by an alien.‭ ‬You‭’‬re a lucky man.‭”

Zim perked his antenna a bit at that.‭ ‬“If I have been taken...from the Dib...then where is Zim now‭?‬”

“Zim is on board the Massive,‎ ‏in the Tallests‭’‬ personal healing quarters,‭”‬ the drone replied,‭ ‬opening a small tub of pale pink salve and rubbing‭ ‬some on the nub.‭ ‬“Tallest Flurn was quite upset when he learned what had happened to an Invader.‭ ‬He insisted that we come down and get you before destroying the planet.‭”

A warmth spread in the bottom of Zim‭’‬s squeedlyspooch,‭ ‬and the small Invader decided‭ ‬it was probably connected to the pleasantly numbing affect the salve was having on his head.‭ ‬“So...the Dib has been deactivated..‭?‬”

“I‎’‏m not sure,‭ ‬actually,‭”‬ the drone said,‭ ‬closing the salve and checking a bag of something that was slowly draining into Zim‭’‬s‭ ‬bloodstream.‭ ‬“There were two humans brought onto the ship,‭ ‬I think.‭ ‬If I had to guess,‭ ‬I would say that this‭ ‬‘Dib‭’‬ was probably the one with the black fur on his head.‭ ‬It was so strange,‭ ‬too‭; ‬his head was so large,‭ ‬and the fur barely covered the top.‭ ‬The other human‭’‬s fur covered her entire head,‭ ‬except the face.‭ ‬The male was bleeding quite badly from his face,‭ ‬and Tallest Flurn barely let me put a patch on to keep him from bleeding to death.‭ ‬I think he‭’‬s in a holding cell.‭”

Zim nodded.‭ ‬“That is the Dib.‭”‬ He breathed a heavy sigh,‭ ‬feeling his mind slip away again.‭ ‬“Are you giving Zim...sedatives..‭?‬” he asked,‭ ‬struggling to stay awake.

The drone smiled,‭ ‬tapping the bag.‭ ‬“It‭’‬ll be easier on you if you sleep for a while.‭ ‬We need to speed your outer skin‭’‬s hardening,‭ ‬and it‭’‬ll be a painful process.‭ ‬Just rest,‭ ‬and let us take care of you.‭ ‬All right‭?‬”

The Invader‭’‬s eyes slowly slipped closed.‭ ‬He hadn‭’‬t let anyone take care of him in years.‭ ‬Perhaps...letting someone do that would be all right just this once.

‎~‏-‎~‏-‎~

Shtirk sighed,‭ ‬laying back in bed.‭ ‬“That was fun,‭”‬ he murmured,‭ ‬nuzzling a cheek against one of Flurn‭’‬s antennae.‭ ‬The younger male snuggled into the blankets.‭ ‬Shtirk smirked,‭ ‬poking the forehead peeking out from under the covers.‭ ‬“C‭’‬mere.‭”

Flurn wriggled out from under the blanket,‭ ‬smiling shyly at his lover.‭ ‬“Yes‭?‬”

“You were pretty feisty just now.‎ ‏What‭’‬s got you so riled up,‭ ‬hm‭?‬” the red-eyed Irken asked,‭ ‬pulling the other closer.

Flurn shrugged a little.‭ ‬“I dunno.‭ ‬Just the excitement of being off the Massive for once,‭ ‬I guess,‭”‬ he said,‭ ‬tilting his head back to let Shtirk nibble at the base of his neck.‭ ‬“One of us should go check on Zim,‭ ‬y‭’‬know,‭”‬ he murmured.

‎“‏Ah,‭ ‬leave him be,‭”‬ Shtirk grumbled.‭ ‬“They‭’‬ll probably have him knocked out anyway.‭”

Flurn wriggled out of the other‭’‬s hold with a sigh.‭ ‬“I know,‭ ‬but we just brought all the ships down here to get him.‭ ‬The least we can do is make sure he‭’‬s been settled in.‭”

Shtirk frowned as the purple-eyed Irken dressed himself.‭ ‬“Fine,‭”‬ he sighed.‭ ‬“I‭’‬ll be here when you‭’‬re done.‭”‬ Flurn hovered over,‭ ‬rubbing the tip of an antennae against the top of Shtirk‭’‬s head.

‎“‏I won‭’‬t be long,‭”‬ he said quietly,‭ ‬before turning and leaving the room.

The red-eyed Tallest glared at the door for several minutes after Flurn had left.‭ ‬If all it took was a couple of hours of Zim being on the ship to start undoing all of Shtirk‭’‬s work from the past ten rounds to get Flurn over that little defect,‭ ‬he was going to have to do something about it,‭ ‬and do something fast.

‎~*~*~

I don‭’‬t own Invader Zim.‭ ‬This is obvious.‭ ‬If I were Mr.‭ ‬Vasquez,‭ ‬I‭’‬d be too busy vomiting out of every orifice on my body from the sheer thought of Zim having a sexual relationship with any of the other characters to be‭ ‬typing this right now.

Short chapter again.‭ ‬But that‭’‬s how I roll.‭ *‬puts on sunglasses and poses all awesome-like‭* ‬Drop a review on your way out,‭ ‬and I won‭’‬t set the rabid spider monkeys on you.
