#mz enterprises au

[rejaytionships]

quick 1am doodle for a potential au for my iz selfshipverse (including a concept of what evil cro mcgovern might look like)

basically, this is a timeline where cro pursues her engineering degree after all (instead of giving up and switching to math) and ends up hired by membrane labs. she works her way up the ranks and finds herself as membrane's right hand man and eventual marriage partner

however, one freak accident at the lab managed to spiral the two of them into an incredibly nasty divorce that leaves them not even close to amicable. cro ends up starting her own rival company - mz enterprises - after a certain irken crash-lands onto the planet and agrees to team up with her

in regards to zim's nefarious intentions? cro allows it, so long as it allows her to one-up whatever membrane is doing (also she made a fake pak for herself bc she was jealous of zim's crawly legs)

i wanted an evil au for a silly oneshot idea i had where dib and gaz go back in time and convince a younger cro to try and help her with her old career path bc she mentions having regrets dropping out of her old program, but in doing so accidentally cause the butterfly effect that leads to cro trying to take over the world, so now they gotta go back AGAIN and sabotage their stepmom's degree efforts in order to return to their happy family once more
