Reunited
It's been about five years since the Jurassic World Theme Park had ended for good. Owen and Claire had eventually gotten married and lived close to Claire's sister and the kids. Unfortunately for them, Claire had taken too long to have children. She was now no longer able to conceive. The newlyweds accepted this and put in an application for adoption. However, they were on a waitlist so it was going to take a while. In the meantime, they helped take care of Claire's nephews and worked like a normal family did. Claire found a job managing a small business while Owen worked as a mechanic.
Once in a while Owen thought sadly about Blue and hoped she was happy. He sometimes went online and looked at Velociraptors with a sad smile on his face. He never realized how much he would miss Blue. He tried very hard to hide it but he could not get it past Claire. She always caught him and hugged him as he stared sadly at the computer screen.
"I'd ask if you wanted to visit, but I doubt you'd be ok with that…" Claire would say.
"Animals tend to forget their human friends when they are in the wild. I doubt she would remember me anyway." He would respond sadly. "Besides, her new Alpha would probably try to kill us."
"Very true." She would give him a kiss and then go on with whatever she was doing.
It was a normal day in their household when the phone call happened. The phone call that would change everything…again. While Claire was attempting to be a domestic wife and cook dinner the phone rang.
"I'll get it." Owen said getting up from his computer and going to the phone. "Hello?" He asked.
"Hello, Is this Mr. Owen Grady?" the voice inquired over the receiver.
"Yes, this is he." He said a little confused. Who would address him like that? He didn't know many formal people.
"This is Doctor Jasper Smith from Ingen."
Oh great… I was hoping I'd never hear that word ever again. Owen thought.
"What do you want now?" He asked annoyed.
"Don't worry Mr. Grady I do not want you to come to the Island again. In fact, there are no more dinosaurs left on that god-forsaken Island."
With that sentence Owen felt as if his stomach had a huge hole in it and he had to sit down silently. What did he mean? How could they just destroy an entire race that they created? Was he calling just to tell him that his old friend Blue was killed? Or worse… what if they had taken the animals to the US for experiments? They never learn. What if they got loose? Claire realized something was wrong and stopped what she was doing to walk over to look concerned.
"What did you do now?" he demanded in a low, angry voice.
"Don't worry Mr. Grady. Your old friend Blue is alive and well. In fact, I was calling to see if you wanted to see her."
"What? Are you crazy? You did not take those dangerous animals to America! Have you ever learned anything from failed experiments?" He was furious now and Claire's eyes widened with the reaction. What had they done now?
"We have learned Mr. Grady." Jasper explained. "Blue is safe, along with the Tyrannosaurus Rex whom we have named Ragina. I assure you they are perfectly safe now."
"You brought the TRex here too?" he groaned. He could not believe how stupid these people were.
"Just come for a visit and you will see for yourself. Bring your wife too. Someone has been wanting to see her."
Owen glared into the phone but sighed. "Fine." After Jasper told Owen the details of where their lab was and when they can visit he hung up the whole angrily.
"What happened?" Claire asked.
"I don't know. But they did something to the animals on that Island. I don't like it…"
"Me either…" She said hugging her husband. "They want me to come too?"
"Yes." He sighed. Their moment was soon interrupted with the fire alarm going off.
"Oh no! Not again!" Claire said running to the oven.
Owen smiled and chuckled shaking his head at his wife. No matter how much she tried to be domestic, the fast-paced and organized life was the best life for her. Which is why she was the best manager her company had.
The next morning, the Gradys dressed and drove to the Ingen laboratory. They got out of the car and held each other's slightly shaking hands as they entered the building. It was clean, and there were no signs that dinosaurs were roaming which was a good thing. A man came over with a bright smile.
"Hello Mr and Mrs Grady." He said shaking their hands. He has a short man with dark blond hair and blue eyes. His accent was that of English origin. "I'm Jasper Smith. We spoke on the phone."
"Right." Owen nodded. "What have you done with the animals?"
"Right to business are we?" Dr. Smith smirked. "Follow me. It's better explained in person."
The couple followed the scientist into a room with a glass. Beyond that glass was a small room. There was music playing from a radio. It looked as if it was like a dorm room for college students. There was a teenage looking girl with black hair with blue stripes dancing to the music. She wore a white dressing gown and her face was facing the other side of the room. She suddenly stopped as if she could sense something. She turned around suddenly still standing on the balls of her bare feet. She stared right at Owen and ran faster than any human to the glass. She banged on the glass and made sounds that Owen recognized as raptor sounds coming from her human voice.
As he looked into her eyes he realized they were that of a raptor's. He should know since he had practically raised Blue and the others. At first he backed up a little worried. She frowned and made more noises banging on the glass more. It was as if she was trying to communicate with him.
"Don't worry. She's not as strong as she used to be." The doctor told him. "That glass cannot be broken."
"Used to be?" Owen asked.
"Who is she?" Claire asked. With this, the girl glared at Claire and did a low growl. She didn't seem to like her.
"I've seen enough, I don't know what you're trying to do Doc…" Owen said turning around and heading back out the door.
"OW—EN!" The girl finally yelled in English. Owen stopped. She knew his name? He turned around with his eyes wide. She smiled happily and bounced up and down.
"How…how do you know my name."
"Ow…en…" she said with a sad frown. She seemed very confused.
"He doesn't know who you are. Show him." Jasper told her.
She tilted her head confused but then her eyes widened. She then nodded and pulled her gown to the side to show him the blue stripes going down her body. Owen was in shock.
"Blue?" she finally said.
"Owen! Owen!" she repeated. She put her palms to the glass in want of seeing him. Owen put his own hands to the glass. What did they do to her? How could they do something so vile? They were fine the way they were, they just needed to live in their own natural habitat. Now they've cut them up and put them into human skin.
"She has never spoken a word of English until you came in." Jasper explained. "Which means she understands the concept but refused to speak it."
Owen smiled at Blue. "That's Blue for you. She's always defiant." Blue smiled at him happily wishing that the glass was not a barrier. "Now you're gonna tell me how the hell you did this, and why!" he demanded angrily towards the doctor.
"Right of course. Right this way." He said opening the door.
"Don't worry Blue, I'm gonna try to set you free." Owen added softly as he left. He tried not to listen as Blue screamed his name until the door closed. They could hear everything being thrown all over as Blue had a fit. They sent in more scientists to sedate her.
"Now tell me what the hell you have done now." Owen demanded.
