A story request from the core of justice. Let me know what you think of it! I'm going to try to stick to working on two stories at a time max.

The Whisper

Chapter 1: Siblings

Jake walked into the lab with a massive grin on his face. As he walked through the lab he saw multiple glass rooms on either side of him. In each room many scientists were working on something dinosaur related. One room had scientists collecting dinosaur blood from a fossilized mosquito before scanning the DNA. In another they were cloning the DNA and creating dinosaur embryos. Then in another they were creating eggs for the embryos to develop in. And finally, his favorite of all, the room where the eggs were hatched and the hatchling dinosaurs were tended to.

This is what he had always dreamed of! Ever since he had found a megalodon tooth as a kid he was into dinosaurs. He had always wanted to work with dinosaurs and InGen gave him that chance. His thoughts were interrupted by a redheaded woman with shoulder length hair and a white suit. "Excuse me, you must be Mr. Waston. . ."

"Call me Jake," Jake interrupted. "Mr. sounds too formal. Makes me feel uncomfortable." Jake was a tall African American with a small Afro. He was wearing a blue shirt and grey jeans at the time. Around his neck was a necklace with a megalodon tooth. He still had that same grin on his face while he was talking to the redhead.

"Oh, okay," said the redhead. She seemed surprised at Jakes reply, but kept a straight face. "Well then, Jake, I suppose you know who I am," she asked. Jake looked at her nametag, which said 'Ms. Dearing'.

"You're Claire Dearing, senior assets manager at Jurassic World," Jake replied. Claire smiled and nodded her head.

She turned around and said, "This way, please. And wipe that stupid grin off your face, you look like a kid in a candy shop."

"You could say I am," Jake replied and did as he was told before following Claire.

As Jake followed Claire, he became more and more fascinated by the wonders around him. Claire even had to tell him to stop ogling the embryo chambers once to keep him moving. They finally stopped in front of a room with many clusters of eggs on stands, each cluster underneath an incubator.

An Asian man in a lab coat approached them from inside the room. "Ah this is the new trainer," asked the man. He had a welcoming look on his face.

"Yes, it is," answered Claire. "This is. . ."

"Jake Waston," interrupted the scientist. Claire didn't seem pleased that she was interrupted again, but she didn't complain.

"You're Dr. Henry Wu, head scientist of Jurassic world," said Jake. He and Wu shook hands, though Jake seemed nervous about it.

Latino man in a dark blue suit and tie approached them. The man greeted everyone with a smile. "Wu, Dearing, and you must be Mr. Waston," he greeted.

"Yes, I am. And please, no mister," answered Jake. "And you're Simon Masrani, head manager of Jurassic world." Simon nodded his head. Just then a Caucasian man arrived on the scene wearing a blue shirt with a vest over it.

"Ah, Mr. Grady, good to see you here," Simon greeted.

"Please, call me Owen," answered the man. The moment he saw Jake he inspected him. "Who's the new guy," Owen asked.

"This is the new trainer," answered Claire as she looked at Jake.

"The name's Jake Waston," Jake greeted. Owen extended his hand, though Jake was reluctant to shake it. Owen started to wonder if he did something wrong when Jake accepted the handshake. Owen was still suspicious of him, though.

Owen smiled. "What are you training," he asked.

"I'm here for the spinos," Jake answered. "I've always loved dinosaurs. Especially the big ones."

Owen nodded. "Yeah, I train the raptors here. Or, I will when they're old enough. They hatched a few days ago." Jake nodded, then started to get worried. Others had heard about the new spinosaurus trainer and were gathering around him. "Hey, are you okay there," asked Owen, seeing that Jake was starting to sweat a bit.

"Y-yeah, I'm fine. Just a little nervous around crowds, you know," Jake replied, his voice shaking. The others didn't look like they believed him.

"Social anxiety," answered Masrani. "It was in his paperwork. He always did better around his closer friends and especially animals, if what his paperwork said is true." Owen looked sorry for the guy, Wu rubbed his chin in thought, Claire rolled her eyes and Jake looked more and more like he was about to shit himself.

Claire turned to faced Jake and looked him straight in the eye. "You know what you have to do, right," she asked, a demanding and questioning look in her eye.

Jake stopped shaking and grinned. "Of course," he answered. "I trained six weeks for this. I know what to do." His confidence earned a smile from Masrani, Wu and Owen, but Claire was going to take more convincing.

She opened the door to the incubation room and motioned for him to go inside. "Go get 'em tiger," Owen said while putting a hand on his shoulder. Jake nodded and stepped into the room.

The moment he did he felt an immediate climate change. The air was warm and humid, much like the tropics. He headed toward the stand with the word 'SPINOSAURUS' on it. The eggs were so small they could literally fit in the palm of his hand. He got close enough to see the tiny cracks that were already in the eggs.

Then he saw the egg on the left move. It ever so slightly wobbled a few times. Jake's attention was immediately on the egg. He could feel dozens of eyes burning into his back. His entire career was based on this one moment. If he could imprint on the spinos when they hatch he'll have a chance at becoming a trainer.

A few more cracks on the egg and some shaking on the right, Jake watched as the hatchlings struggled out of their shells. The first one to break free was the hatchling on the left, a bright red spino with black stripes on the sail and a neck that faded into an orange face. It tumbled into tumbled out of the egg with a squeak, making Jake laugh. It tried to stand up, but fell down immediately. Jake's laugh made it look up. It squeaked at the giant in front of it, as if asking 'are you my mommy?' Jake chuckled and pulled a bag of soft, squishy meat out of his pocket, tore a piece off and laid it down in front of the hatchling. The spino, still unable to stand, crawled to the piece of meat, sniffed it, nudged it and bit it before scarfing it down, nearly chocking itself. It coughed before spitting the meat back up and trying again, this time taking its time tearing chunks off before swallowing them.

The second spino to hatch was blood red all over, much less vibrant than the other. It tumbled out of the shell the same way its sibling did. It looked up at the giant figure in front of it and squeaked same way. Jake pulled out a second piece of meat from his bag and fed the second spino, too. It went through the same the same difficulty as its sibling before getting the hang of eating meat. It was enjoying its meal when the first hatchling crawled over and snapped at it, trying to take its sibling's share. "Hey, stop that," ordered Jake, gently picking up the first and setting it down away from the second. He pulled out a second piece of meat. "If you're still hungry, then here's some more, but don't steal from your sister. Sisters don't steal from each other."

"The first one's a brother, actually," Wu said. He had stepped in without Jake knowing. "We decided to have a test and see how male dinosaurs would act. And we would also like you to take these two home with you so we can observe what the dinosaurs would be like if they were raised by humans." Jake was shocked, to say the least. He could let the spinos live with him?

Owen gaped in the background. "Lucky!" Jake raised an eyebrow. "I have to put my raptors in the raptor pen when they get older." Jake gave him a sympathetic look.

Claire stepped forward. "You don't have to do this," she insisted. "We can keep the assets in an enclosure. . ."

"Assets," Jake snapped, surprising everyone with his sudden anger. "These aren't just numbers on a sheet of paper or pieces to a game. They're living, breathing creatures with emotions and desires. You can't just toss round their lives like they're nothing! I'm taking them home so they have someone like a parent to take care of them."

His sudden outburst was unexpected and got a shocked look from Claire, a supportive look from Owen and interested looks from Simon and Henry. "Very well," said Simon. "You can keep them." Satisfied, Jake returned to watching the two hatchlings as they tried to walk around and play with each other, unaware their future was being discussed.

"What are you going to name them," asked Owen, leaning forward and trying to get a better look at the hatchlings.

"Hmmm, I think I'll name the male Grimlock. I loved transformers and the dinobots are amazing, especially Grimlock. It's a strong name for a strong dinosaur," Jake said as the newly named Grimlock was already trying to playfight with his sister.

"And what about the other one?"

Jake thought for a moment. "How abouuut. . . Amelia? It's a pretty name for a pretty dinosaur. Yeah, Amelia. Let's go with that." He enjoyed the site of his two dinos playing around in the straw that made up their nest. "Grimlock and Amelia, my children. I'll protect you no matter what it takes."

Owen just looked at him with understanding on his face, knowing exactly what he felt. "I know what you mean, Jake," Owen thought to himself. "I feel the exact same way about my girls."
