Defective Perfections

The pair’s latest plans went slightly more south than Zim had liked, but still, the humans had a lot of stuff they had to rebuild and the destruction made Zim happy.  Despite their successful escape from the authorities who likely already forgot they existed, Zim had tripped along the way while trying to keep up with Brick.

Curse his tiny body.

Refusing to admit that something about him could be broken, Zim continued to walk around on his strangely bent leg.  It hurt, yes, but the PAK should heal it momentarily.

Every few steps, Zim would utter a few curses in what had to have been the Irken language, as they were obviously no language of earth.  His PAK had better things to do than translate for him right now.

“Zim is not broken.”  He switched back to English just long enough to take another step and let out a loud alien curse.  “Zim is far from broken!”

A Glacier

  In a flash of neon red, Brick sped off to and back with the firetruck. Panicked fireman still inside and all. Brick hosted the truck it in the air with a single hand, and a few concerned citizens were already starting to scatter. ❝I think we’re gonna need something bigger if we’re talking world domination here.❞ Ah. That high pressure water hose sure was pretty, pretty boring now looking at it. 

  Disinterested, Brick tossed the firetruck aside like a bored child would with his toy.  ❝There’s gotta be something bigger, something better.❞ Or worse, in this case. 

Zim was actually getting excited by the prospect of destroying a few lives.  He found amusement in the panic that was already being caused by just Brick lifting up the truck.

“Bigger and better?”  The wheels in Zim’s head go round and round.  “How big are we talking?  If we want to stick to the theme we could set the town on fire--NO.  Not good enough!  Not big enough!”  He was mostly talking to himself now.

  The acronym was meant to be an impulsive regurgitation of words, but this was a better reaction than Brick expected. Biting down on his lower lip, the Ruff couldn’t hold back the urge to snicker. Still, he figured he could fuel Zim’s indignation for the thots. All with well deserved intention. 

   ❝Hate to break it to ya, but everyone’s got an inner thot. These poor bastards are just a lost cause.❞ Brick shook his head in feigned dismay, releasing the alien from his grip.  ❝Say, how about we do a little street cleaning?❞ He’s got his sights on a conveniently parked fire truck down the block and he’s already halfway down the street. 

“You LIE”  Zim landed on his feet as Brick dropped him.  “Zim has no thot in him!  I am eeeevil.  And I am sure there is no thot in you.”  If only Zim knew...  

 A smile tugs at Brick’s face before he kneels down to give Zim a noogie. ❝Not like I’ve got much choice, shrimpy.❞ He laughs before picking up Zim by the arm and dangling the alien before him.  ❝You see all this?❞ He gestures towards the bustling street before them.  ❝THOTS, Zim. Thots everywhere. Don’t it piss you off? Something’s gotta be done about all these thots.❞

Zim dangled from Brick’s grip but didn’t seem to mind it much.  It was nice to be closer to eye level to humans sometimes.  He’d ignore the shrimpy comment for now.  There were more pressing matters.  “They are all heroes?”  Maybe something clicked in Zim’s head, because now he truly felt he understood the meaning of the word thot.

His expression turned into an evil smirk.

❝Y’know….❞ Right, three-foot munchkin from outer-space….❝A thot. That Hero Over There. A THOT, Zim. One of ‘em earth acronyms. ❞
