Chapter 4:

Korra sat in Asami office watching as Asami pulled file after file from a tall cabinet. She had changed into a deep red shirt and some tight black pants, her hair was pulled back and she was biting her lower lips nervously. Korra was watching her with a heated gaze, Korra had never realized just how fucking hot Asami Sato was. Korra couldn't keep her eyes off Asami's ass, it was so tight and perfectly shaped Korra wanted to reach out and grab it.

"Okay I've gone through every file I have and I've got nothing." Asami said coming and leaning over her desk with a sigh. "I think we should go talk to Zaheer, maybe he'll have some information; that or maybe we can weasel information out of him." Asami said with a weak smile.

Korra stood and nodded with a shrug. "Yeah maybe. But it's my personal experience that you can't get anything out of Zaheer. Plus they didn't even tell you what the fuck that monster is made out of. We've got to find out, I mean animals raised in isolation generally don't turn out well." Korra said simply holding Asami's office door open. Asami nodded and walked out quickly moving into the lab sections with Korra right on her tail.

They marched past crowds of people gawking at dinosaurs hatching, and scientists checking over DNA strands. Asami scanned her card and a security door opened and she and Korra walked into the heart if the labs. Zaheer's office was on the other side of the labs, which meant carefully skirting around the incubators. Once they got to his office Asami pushed open the door and walked in with a smile, Korra following after her.

"Zaheer we have got to know what the Andominous Rex is made of. I can't in good conscious let these people invest in a creature I'm not certain of. That creature is dangerous and we have yet to even try to build an enclosure for her. We don't know much bigger she will get, she is extremely aggressive and overly intelligent. We haven't even been able to put in a handler feeding station." Asami said getting straight to the point. Korra could not stop the smile that pulled at her mouth at the straight forward attitude of her friend.

Zaheer crossed his arms and smiled. "Miss Sato we've gone over this before, there is no need for you to know the answer to those questions. The DNA structure of that beautiful animal is completely off limits to lower ranking personnel." Zaheer said nastily. Korra was about to respond when the door pushed open and in walked Kuvira.

"Good afternoon to all of you." Kuvira said with a smile lifting off some shades as she tossed a pilots helmet to a guy walking in behind her.

"You're here early Kuvira." Korra said coming over and shaking the older woman's hands.

Kuvira smiled and shrugged. "I've got my pilots license I flew myself here…okay almost have my license. Now Asami, my little money maker, why don't you scurry away with Korra and let me and Zaheer talk. We've got some big plans to make." Kuvira said with a smile holding open the door. Asami was about to say something when Korra put an arm over her shoulder.

"Yeah yeah we'll get gone, but you seriously need to check out the raptors. They are coming along amazingly, when you finish this meeting come out to the paddock. I'll give you a little demonstration!" Korra said with a bright smile pulling Asami out of the door. "Don't say anything we don't want Zaheer to go getting involved. We'll talk to Kuvira out at the raptor pens." Korra said in her ear as they walked out to the car to drive to the paddock. Asami nodded and bit her tongue in anger, she wanted to get this over with. She was tired of feeling stressed and overworked and worried. Everything about this animal had red flags going off.

"Korra what happened if we can't get them to listen? This isn't some simple minded beast that can be put down with a bullet. That creature is intelligent, fast, and she learns. Not to mention she's worth millions, Kuvria will give the old; 'spare no expense bit' but we can't financially handle the destruction and removal Andominous represents. Korra we could go bankrupt because of this project, they are delving further and further into a dangerous situation." Asami said as she got into the car.

Korra climbed into the driver's seat and reached over and grabbed Asami's hand. "Hey we'll get through to them okay. You and me together we can show them the truth. And if we can't get through to them then…..We'll be here to help clean things up when they hit fan. We've got this Asami, I know that's hard to believe but we do." Korra said giving her hand a slight squeeze. Asami smiled and nodded grasping Korra's hand back.

Korra smiled and got the car moving, forgetting that her hand was holding Asami's. "Korra pull over." Asami suddenly said, her hand pulling out of Korra's; reminding Korra she had been holding it. Korra looked at her and was about to respond. "Pull the fuck over!" Asami said opening the door. Korra was able to slow the car down before Asami was jumped out. "SHIT!" Asami yelled as she ran over to a low laying building made of concrete.

Asami was standing in front of a door that was swinging on its hinges. Asami pushed the door further open and flicked a light switch, but nothing happened. "Fuck my life. Korra there's a light in the trunk can you grab it, plus the tazer? I think someone broke into the power station." Asami said over her shoulder. Korra nodded and grabbed the request items and brought them over. "Okay I'll be back in a few, call for help if I'm…." Asami said but Korra shook her head.

"Fuck no your not going in alone, give me that tazer." Korra said taking it from Asami with a frown. "Lead the way." Korra said finally and Asami smiled and nodded before flicking the light on and descending into the darkness below."Why don't we have lights set up in the station?" Korra asked feeling just a little creeped out in the pitch black surroundings. She reached forward and placed a hand on Asami's shoulder to make sure she wouldn't get separated.

"We do, that's why I think someone came in here and fucked with the station. This is one of the main station grids, which is why we hid it. If I remember the lay out correctly this station runs the electric fences surrounding the biological paddocks. And although the animals have been in their enclosure long enough to not think about the fences, it doesn't mean that today could be different and they'll break out."Asami said softly as they came to metal catwalk and began to balck through pitch blackness, the only light was the beam from the electric bulb in their hands; and it didn't reach very far ahead.

"Who the hell would break into a power station and break the fences? Especially on a busy vacation weekend. People could get seriously hurt if they shut down all the fences." Korra said keeping her ears open to try and hear if anyone….or anything was on the catwalk with them.

"We have enemies Korra. Animal activist that insist we aren't caring for the animals correctly, and that they should be free the roam and go where they please. They believe we are abusing the animals because we own them so they do whatever they can. Blocked the gates of the boarding docks so people can't sail over, send threatening letters, contact government higher ups and make waves. And then I have to come in and clean up." Asami said coming to another staircase and going down it slowly.

Korra was about to respond when a sound hit her ears. She stopped Asami, halting her in her step and leaned forward and whispered in her ear. "Shhhhh." She felt Asami stiff and saw her eyes get wide, Korra slipped an arm around her waist for compfort. Korra pulled some special goggles from one of her pockets and slipped them on before reaching forward and flicking the light off. Asami became stiff as a board but Korra pulled the taller woman against her tightly and that seemed to relax her.

They stood there in the dark listening, at first to the sound of silence; but then they both heard it….the sound of snuffling breathing. Korra felt Asami quiver, and then she realized she was too. The breathing became louder and as it drew closer Korra felt her panic increase, she knew what kind of animal it belonged to. Korra shifted to in front of Asami and then pushed her against the side wall, Asami didn't fight against the change; she simply set her hands on Korra's hips and pulled her close.

Under normal circumstance Korra would be freaking out at the full on contact she was getting, but the sound of the breathing was getting closer; and she was more concerned with making sure that once they left this building she could have another shot at dating Asami. Korra reached up to the side of her goggles and flicked a switch. Green floresants flashed and suddenly the world was open to her eyes. Asami had invented these goggles just for the animal trainers, although Korra's were the only ones made; she was testing them before the company made more.

Korra stood and waited, how much time passed she would never know; but it felt like an eternity. Asami clung to her back, her hands holding onto Korra's hips like her life depended on it; the flashlight sitting at her side completely forgotten. Suddenly another sound hit their ears along with the breathing, the soft clanked thud of metal as someone….or something walked on it. What ever it was moved quickly, little feet clattering on the metal grating; but it wasn't big enough to leaving huge sounding foot prints.

Korra looked up and down the catwalk for what she knew was coming, and then she saw it. A foot tall Raptor jumped down from a different stair case and landed on the walkway a few feet from them. It wasn't very big, and it had a Jurassic World tag on it. It looked around and spotted Korra and rushed over. Asami had stiffened once more against Korra, but Korra had relaxed somewhat. Young Velociraptors were very sweet and docile. Korra bent down and the young creature hopped onto her hand. "Asami it's a baby." Korra said softly as she little thing rubbed its head against her vest.

Asami shook a little before leaning to whisper in Korra's ear. "A baby what?" She asked in a hoarse nervous voice.

"It's baby raptor." Korra said finally.

"Oh god….."Korra heard Asami say and couldn't help but nod in agreement. "We have to get to the power grid Korra, bring…..bring it with us." Asami said nervously. Korra nodded and reached with her free hand into her pocket and pulled out a capped needle with a clear liquid inside.

"Uncap this for me." Korra said gently and Asami nodded reaching forward and finding the cap and pulled it off. Korra quickly stuck the needle in the baby's neck. It let out a soft yelp but the sedative was fast acting. "Carry her I'll take the lead, hold me hand so we can leave the light off and not attract more." Korra said softly. Korra felt Asami's soft finsgers ghost over her arms as she reached out found the infant and pulled it to her. She cradle the baby like it was precious, carefully tucking it against her chest. Then with her free hand she reached out for Korra. Korra took her hand and wove their fingers together before taking them deeper into the building.

Not to long later they reached the power grid… and Korra was happy Asami couldn't see. On the ground was a body, who it was she didn't know and didn't care. A gate was swung closed, which was the only thing separating five infant raptors from Korra and Asami. The babies were ripping flesh from the body, one stood on the head and was using its long thin nails to scratch at the eyes, tearing the soft flesh; fluid running down as the eyes popped. Korra swallowed nervously, the power grid box had been smashed and the culprit was laying on the floor being eaten.

Korra squeezed Asami's hand and they slowly backed up, the raptors heads snapped up. One jumped off the body and lunged the gate, luckily it was tightly shut; but Korra felt Asami jumped behind her nervously. Korra turned and tugged Asami after her up and back out of the building. Once outside Korra lifted the goggles off her head nad slammed the door back on its frame and crushed it against the building hard enough that it wouldn't move. When Korra turned around she found Asami looking over the infant raptor.

"Korra this thing…..it was made." Asami said gently flipping over the baby and examining it's toes. "WE made her." Asami whispered nervously. "And why didn't we get the power fixed, and what jumped the fence?" Asami asked tucking the baby back against her body and looking at Korra. Korra walked over and put an arm over Asami and guided her to the car, opening the passenger door putting her in and closing it behind her. Korra walked over to the driver side opened the door and got in.

"We have to get back, we have to evacuate the island. And to answer your question the grid box has been destroyed and five more of these babies were there. And don't start about catching the culprit, he's been caught…..and there is no way to question him so let's get the guest to safety and try to reroute power. To the fences. Okay?" Korra asked looking over at Asami. Asami nodded and stroked the scaly head of the baby in her arms.

"Korra…." Asami started trailing off nervously. Korra reached over and pulled Asami's hand into her own.

"It will be okay, they'll have to listen to us now." Korra said gently as the car bounced over the rough roads. "We can handle this…." Korra said trying to be confident, but in reality things were bad, and they were about to get so much worse.
