Chapter Nine: Mondlicht

"Es ist hoffnungslos,
Sinnlos,
Hilflos,
Sie sind gottlos..."

“Los”, by Rammstein.

Three weeks had gone by already and there were still news and more news of how the Membrane Labs and thus the rest of the worthless world were going insane without the mighty ‘Professor’, Dib rolled his eyes as he changed channels only to find more of the same and finally turned off the little TV, sighing in frustration, why couldn’t people just get over the fact that an alien had kidnapped the most important scientist on Earth ever, ah yes, because they were completely ignorant to that tiny little fact, and wouldn’t believe it even if he hammered it into their brains and ears with all his might…THAT cruel was the rest of the world to Dib…how sad…

“Perfect! Sulky mode is setting in…”

But for once, instead of wallowing in the awareness that almost everyone hated him because he was paranoid, Dib’s thoughts drifted towards the lack of attention he was getting from the alien, he’d been so bent on killing him before and then he was practically ignoring him, Zim had what he’d wanted since the beginning, that was true, but nothing had ever been so simple with him, of course the whole point of going into hiding had been to escape from Zim but, he’d not expected the alien to just sit quietly and let him live, and that’s what worried him the most…

Zim was playing with both of them…but why play with your prey? What a sadist…Dib figured that Gaz would be buried under mountains of reporters by now, that made him smile slightly, but it was also a very probable possibility that she’s scared them away already, literally…Dib shrugged the idea off, he was more worried of what could his dad be doing with the alien, the simple act of thinking about the combination sent shivers down his spine, it would have a disastrous outcome…on the other hand, Dib was convinced that Membrane had gone to Zim of his own accord because it just didn’t seem logical to him that the alien could have such a powerful influence over any human being, let alone someone like Membrane…and yet again, he was contradicting himself…and Dib tended to underestimate the alien a bit too much…

-.-

Membrane was sitting, well, more like sprawled on the couch next to GIR watching the Scary Monkey Show, with GIR laughing from time to time completely randomly and insanely with no apparent reason, that’s because even the robot’s randomness seemed to have a reason to be, of which he wasn’t sure at the moment…

“Why are we watching TV?”
“Because it’s neat…”
“Yeah…it IS neat…but isn’t there anything else besides the Scary Monkey Show?”

GIR turned to look at Membrane with teary eyes…

“You don’t like it??”

The scientist almost laughed, a robot with true, though very childish, feelings, it felt kind of unreal and it was so not happening, he’d really lost it, but not when Zim had told him so, of course not, his mental decay had begun with his xenophilic fantasies…

“Of course I like it, the monkey is cool and everything…”
“Scary!! It’s scary!! Say it!! SCA-RY…”

The robot interrupted him…

“Ok, ok, scary…but! There has to be something else that’s good on TV…”
“Nope!!”
“Don’t bother…you’ll never convince him of changing channels…”

Zim snatched the remote from the robot’s lap and changed channels randomly, stopping when he found the news…

“You have to do it yourself…”
“Hey!! I was watching that!!”
“Shut up GIR!!! Oh look…aren’t those your labs? All those humans running around in sheer horror don’t look so good…”

Membrane was laughing at the tantrum that GIR was throwing when Zim’s words caught his attention and he turned to look at the TV’s screen, but he had to go and sit right in front of the TV since he didn’t know where his goggles had gone and he’d not wore normal glasses in so long so obviously he couldn’t see a thing, as the screen came into focus he saw that his labs seemed a bit abandoned, the scientists left were trying to make things work but they seemed to be having a hard time trying to do so, he’d never seen them being so useless, he laughed…

The reporters that were still covering the issue were as desperate as the scientists, one of them said they’d been covering it for weeks now and that still professor Membrane was nowhere to be seen, Membrane himself rolled his eyes, weeks?? It hadn’t felt that long to him…he’d been very busy and all this was beginning to look quite old, their constant babbling was getting to his nerves, why were people so dependant?? He walked back to the couch and sat there by GIR again…

“Let’s watch the Scary Monkey Show again…”

Zim changed channels again and threw the remote for GIR to catch; he couldn’t stop the devious grin that spread through his green features while he walked back to his underground lab…

-.-

Dib woke up suddenly, but he wasn’t sweaty, altered or anything of the sort, inside his dreams he’d felt a presence with him in the spacious story of the abandoned building he was currently hiding in…apparently it was going to be one of those hideous nights during which he felt observed, up until then he’d always blamed Zim for those, but now that it was quite obvious what did Zim want and that he wasn’t paying any kind of attention whatsoever to him, it just couldn’t be…maybe he WAS crazy after all…

He glanced at his watch to convince himself of his insanity, it was 4:32…it didn’t seem like he was getting any more sleep so he sat on the makeshift bed, crossing his legs, up until now he’d been able to guide himself with the maps he’d printed, but maybe it’d be harmless to check the ones he’d left in his lap, the little radio waves emitted by it wouldn’t be detected by Zim, or he would just ignore them…

He was already outside the county, not so far away though, as he saw the farthest locations agent Alien Doll had provided, they kept moving to the north along the coastline, and he was getting kind of short of supplies…maybe it was a good idea to get moving again, a bigger city should be good…he’ll wait until dawn…

-.-

Two levels of Zim’s base had been completely adapted to Membrane’s necessities, so it was as if he’d never left his home at all, he was going to spend a lot of time with the alien so why not make it as pleasant as possible…in each and every possible sense…

Membrane was taking a little nap in his new bed, inside his dream he felt a caress on his cheek and lanky fingers that lingered upon his skin, but that wasn’t what woke him up, it was the sensation of a piercing gaze…Membrane leaned into the touch and slowly turned to lie on his back, presenting a very half-naked, inviting view of his whole self…and then he opened his eyes to see a blur of dark pink and green staring at him…

He gave the alien an amazingly tiny smile before suddenly wounding his arms around the alien’s neck and squeezed him quite lovingly…whispering to him…

“Hi…”

Zim embraced him in return, if less emotionally…but the ex-scientist was content with only being held by the alien it seemed…

“Can you really see ANYTHING at all without those things you always wore??”

Membrane didn’t really need to think to answer that, it was very obvious…

“Mmm…not much…but I don’t really remember where did I leave my goggles…along with the rest of my clothes…”

Zim pushed away enough to look at the human…

“Are you telling me you don’t remember anything about it!?”
“About it? About what?”
“IT!!”
“Ah…OooOOooh! No, I do remember THAT…what I don’t remember is where I left all my things!!”
“Ok…I was getting worried…”

Membrane pulled the alien to him, even closer than before…

“No, I don’t think I’d be able to forget about that, really…by the way…now that I’m here, what are you planning to do??”
“I don’t think I’m free to do as I please just yet…not even with you, there’s someone I still have to take care of…”

A long pause went by before Membrane spoke again…his grip on Zim had loosened a bit…

“…you’re right…there’s still Dib…”
“So you WILL miss him after all…”
“…it’s kind of inevitable, isn’t it? Missing him, I mean…”
“Maybe…”

“Well…”

Said the scientist grabbing Zim’s head, turning it slowly so the alien was facing him…

“If you’re going to kill my children, you better compensate me somehow…”

Zim stared at him for some seconds before a psychotic smile graced his green features…
