Oh gosh, that was a seriously amazing idea from Ddragon21 and Love and Heartbreak21. I think I know what I'm gonna write~ Ladies & gentlemen, may I present to you the next chapter of Time Wrap: A Better Relationship. Read on!

A Tempting Offer, Saving My Bro? Why the Hell Not?

Looking around, he saw a table in a small secluded corner where Lowery was sitting with two extra people.

"Um, Mr Cruthers, I thought you were alone?"

All three occupants looked up, "Oh, Zach, welcome. It is complicated and extremely dangerous, not to mention the three of us are actually in this together. Here, we got you some latte." Lowery greeted the nearing-adult teen. Glancing at his aunt and her *ahem* boyfriend, Owen Grady, Zach sat down, took a sip and asked, "Okay, spill. What's the deal?" Claire first took a deep breath and spoke, "Look, Zach, hear me out, please, I really, really didn't mean or even expect something like this to happen. About Gray... I'm really sorry, I know no apologies will ever get you to forgive me, but...at least try to understand."

Looking at his red-headed aunt, Zach noticed she was on the verge of (probably) another breakdown. That's when he realized that Claire was going through the same thing as he is. Not spending time with her nephews, inviting them to the park and pretending everything is okay by telling her assistant to guide them and be like, "Oh, I'll talk to you guys at night, so enjoy your day in the park!" and the next thing she knows her younger nephew is dead because of a mistake. Claire probably blamed herself as much as Zach blamed her. Feeling slightly guilty, Zach nodded, "Sure thing, aunt Claire. Uh, so about what Mr Cruthers was going to say—"

"Please, Zach, call me Lowery. Now, being the tech-savvy operator of the park, I'm good with electronics and machine parts. When Claire came to me in tears and all... Well, Owen was with me then, and we cooked up this crazy plan to build a time machine that will send you back to the time before you came to Isla Nublar. And we did, sound good?"

Zach stared at the bespectacled man, "Time travel? You gotta be kidding me, please tell me this is a joke."

"Nope, kid, real as it can be." Owen looked at Zach dead in the eye, "Listen, Zach, you're not the only one who has lost someone. Your family lost your kid brother, I lost my raptors, Lowery and Vivian both lost the love of their jobs and Claire lost all that she fought to build for. All of us agreed to this insane plan because we want to let our other selves have a better life instead of suffering the way we do now. Even if we can no longer have our loved ones back, you'd feel comforted knowing that out there in some other timeline, the person you love is alive and kicking. It's crazy, we know, but you never know you're gonna succeed until you try, right?"

Zach's heart was pounding like a sledgehammer, he took another mouthful of latte, "How the hell did you guys build something like the time machine? And what's the catch?"

"Oh, c'mon, Zach, we literally created dinosaurs from the DNA of fossils and other animals, why not a time machine? As for the catch, well, you can't be seen. Not ever."

Zach was confused, "Can't be seen? I don't get it, auntie, won't I merge with my past self?" "No, I couldn't make that happen, that's why we're here, you need to know and be trained." Lowery's eyes, which were usually twinkling with amusement, were dead serious.

"Trained? In what?"

"In what I do, or did, for that matter." Owen started speaking, "You'll be sent much more farther back, right when the Indominus was just created. We figured that even if you saved your brother, the Indominus would still be a problem and we all know what it's like to be hunted by that thing. To make it easier, you will have to get in it's view and allow it to imprint on you. We already have your cover story and role ready. You'll be an animal-trainer like me, doing things like what I did with my raptors. Try to get the position of the Indominus's trainer and things will most likely flow normally from there."

"Get the trust of your aunt, Lowery and me. Do not, under any circumstances let InGen know what you're up to. I won't let those bastards use my raptors like that ever again. To be an animal-trainer, you gotta learn from me, so I'm gonna teach you soon. A little request of mine: try to get close to all four of my raptors and keep 'em all alive."

Zach felt a little overwhelmed by all that he had to know and do, "Won't auntie recognize me?"

Claire smiled, "I won't, Zach, you've grown, I didn't even know you that well back then so it shouldn't be a problem. There is no need for disguises, just keep your profile low key as much as possible and watch out for turning points." Lowery exhaled, "So, how 'bout it? Will you do it?"

Zach stared at all three occupants of the table, "Saving my brother and preventing a catastrophe? Not a problem, I'm in."

"Well, then, let's get started."

Night has fallen and Zach was as tired as hell. He'd left a message for his parents saying that he'll be attending a very long school trip that will probably take a long, long time in a month. The eldest son of the Mitchell family was thinking of the huge responsibility he had and the upcoming training regime he was going to receive from Owen and groaned. 'Your boyfriend is real scary when he starts training, aunt Claire.' Zach sighed, tossed his phone to one side and prepared to get a good night's sleep.

After a month of rigorous training...

Zach packed his phone, a few clothes, a couple of books and other necessities into a small bag and slung it over his shoulder. Looking around his room one last time, Zach stepped out of it, the house, and was on the way to Lowery's place. 'Damn, and I haven't even got my driving test yet.' He thought as he began the long walk. Phone vibrating, Zach read the message sent by his mom:

Love, have fun during the trip, your dad and I will be waiting for you when you get home, alright?

Zach smiled faintly, there is no one for his parents to wait for unless he actually comes back from the time travel alive. His determination spiked: he was going to come back alive no matter what.

Zach ran through the plan in his head:

1. Get the trust of Lowery, Claire and Owen.
2. Let the raptors and the I-Rex imprint.
3. Keep an eye out for turning points and the I-Rex.
4. When past selves arrive, avoid contact unless necessary.
5. Watch out for InGen, tell the truth to past selves and Owen if needed.
6. Stay alive, prevent a catastrophe and come home.

Yep. that is just what he has got to do.

"Just in time, Zach," Claire hugged her remaining nephew and led him to the basement of Lowery's house where the time machine resided. Upon seeing said machine, Zach's mouth fell open, "Whoa,"

Lowery grinned, "Pretty cool, huh? I spent four months on this thing, making sure I got things right, otherwise it would get really nasty if there is some sort of malfunctioning." Owen rolled his eyes, "Right, malfunctioning, when we all know you're the tech-genius." "Hey, even geniuses make mistakes," Lowery defended himself. Zach chuckled, "Okay, so, do I go in?"

"Not yet, gimme a minute to fix up the timeline."

As Lowery tinkered away with the timer, Zach looked around the basement. It looked really similar to a garage with all the tools hanging/scattered around. That is when he noticed his reflection in a mirror. One month ago, he would have looked like the way he was upon leaving Jurassic World eleven months ago, only worse. Now, he saw a muscular adult-teen staring right back at him, brown hair slightly messed up. 'No one's gonna recognize me like this,'

"Like your new look?" Owen was grinning at Zach who twitched in annoyance, "Yes, but I hate what I had to go through just to achieve this." Claire giggled at his statement as Lowery emerged from the machine, "All set! Time to fly!"

Zach turned and walked towards the time machine. He stepped into the area shaped like an elevator and locked eyes with all three occupants in the room.

"Good luck, Zach, change all that has to be changed."

"What she said, kid, and remember the raptors."

"And so we go," Lowery declared as he punched the activation button. A bright light shone above Zach's head as electricity crackled into existence. The soon-to-be time traveler smiled at his friends and aunt, there was nothing that needed to be said. Zach kept looking until the machine whisked him away into the flow of time.

The adventure for a second chance has begun.

And that's chapter 2, people. Zach is finally on his way to save his little bro! What will happen later on? *laughs happily* Let's hope he really saves his brother. And the usual, guys: reviews~ I love reviews XD. More reviews = more ideas, I really like to know what you guys think. Plus your opinions. See you next chapter! :)
