Disclaimer: I do not own Jurassic World or any of the characters except my own, Ava Croft. I just followed the story line and add some of my own input for Ava. Thank you for choosing to read my first story. It will be sort of disjointed but I feel it started connecting towards the end.
Ava and Owen arrived in the lobby and looked around for Claire. "Claire." The woman turned and rushed up to the couple, "I need you both." The two glanced at each other before responding. "Okay." "I need your help. My nephews, they're out in the valley. Please, if anything happens to them..." Ava dragged her to a less crowded area while Owen looked around for any witnesses. "How old?" "Uh the um older one, he's a high school age. The younger one is um, he's a few years -" Ava stopped her from speaking further, "Wait. You mean to tell me that you don't even know how old your nephews are?" Claire paused and just looked at them in guilt.
Owen shook his head and guided the two women to the vehicle containment unit. He had grabbed the key to an official use Mercedes and hopped in. "Get in." Ava jumped into the front seat of the car and saw a gun waiting in front of her. "I hope you don't mind having to use a gun again." Ava smirked at him, "When will I ever mind using a gun?" Owen nodded his head, his way of saying point taken. Once Claire had buckled down, he stepped on the gas pedal and drove off. "Come on. Pick up, pick up." The call ended up going straight to voicemail, "Crap."
Owen came to a stop in front of a stegosaurus, "Stay in the car Claire." Claire looked at Owen offended, "Why does she get to go?" Ava gave Claire a look that implied that she was stupid, "Retired black op, remember? I can handle myself better than he can." Owen rolled his eyes and held the door open for Ava. They walked along the length of the dinosaur's fallen body, putting their guns to the side to show no harm to it. Claire ignored Owen's order, got out of the car and followed after the two. "Shh, it's okay. It's over, good girl." Ava gently caressed the dying animal's head as Owen petted it. Claire came up on the other side of the gigantic creature and willed herself to touch it. It lurched forward as if to give one last fight but went back down. It slowly closed its eyes and took one last breath before passing. Tears began to drip onto Ava's face, giving Owen all the reason to hug her tightly. "It's out of its misery Ava. It moved on to a better place."
Owen stood up with his gun in hand and walked forward, Claire and Ava following after him. The women gasped in horror, looking at dozens of stegosauruses lying dead. "It didn't eat them, it's killing for sport." They got into the car and drove into the restricted sector. They approached a demolished gyrosphere that once held Claire's two nephews. As Ava got out of the car, Owen walked up to the contraption with sparks flying everywhere. He took out his knife and pulled out the Indominus's tooth from the metal frame. Claire looked around the jungle, looking for signs of the boys' survival.
Claire gasped when she looked down, "No, no, no." She kneeled down and grabbed the cracked phone with shaking hands. Ava spotted two pairs of footprints in the mud, "Hey, they made it out." Claire sighed in relief, standing up to follow the footprints. The seemingly endless footprints finally stopped at the cliff of the waterfall. "Oh my God, they jumped." Owen had a hard look on his face; he put his gun on his back. "Brave kids." Out of nowhere, Claire began to shout her nephews' name. "Zach! Gray!" Ava quickly wrapped her hand around Claire's mouth. "Shh." Claire ripped Ava's hand off of her and retorted, "Hey I am not a damn animal." Owen looked around for any signs of the Indominus popping out, luckily there were none. "Listen, those kids are still alive but we will not be if you continue to scream like that." Claire glanced to the side, exasperated.
"So you can pick up their scent can't you? Uh, uh track their footprints?" Owen and Ava looked at her as if she was crazy. "She was with the Black Ops and I was with the Navy, not the Navajo." Claire became more worried for her sister's children as time went on. "So then what do you suggest we do?" Ava intervened the two from getting any closer than they already were; she gestured to her and Owen's figures while telling her the solution. "You get back, we'll find them." Claire gestured in a triangle, "We'll find them." Owen and Ava were concerned for the safety of the ginger-haired woman. "You'll last two minutes in there, less in those ridiculous shoes." Claire looked at Ava's attire to see her wearing: an oversized shirt, shorts, and sneakers; she looked back up at Owen and unbuttoned her dress shirt. Owen peered down at her body before looking at Ava confused.
'Do you know what she's doing?' Owen mouthed to Ava. She shrugged lazily, finding the woman's idea of ready amusing. Claire rolled up her sleeves and jutted out her hip, looking at Owen challengingly. "What is that suppose the mean?" Ava patted his back, "It means she's ready to go." "Okay.. But let's get one thing straight, I'm in charge out here and you do everything I say exactly as I say it." Claire and Ava shared a perplexed look, "Excuse me?" Owen sensed Ava's annoyance rising and quickly fixed his words, "Ava's in charge as well. Now, trust me and relax. Just like taking a stroll in the woods sixty-five million years ago." Owen locked his gun and held his hand back so they could pass through. Ava stopped and kissed him. "Nice save," then walked away. Owen followed behind with a smile on his face, but not before looking down at the Indominus's footprint.
The trio walked through the jungle looking for the two boys. After walking a long distance, they began to give up until they heard an engine roar. They chased after the sound only to find an half empty garage. Ava crouched down and picked up a gray jacket. "Is this one of theirs?" Claire responded with a breathless ya while nodding. "That road goes straight back to the park." Owen attempted to start the engine but failed. "How did they even get one of these things started?" He dug through the dusty shelves and found out how they fixed it. Right when Ava was about to open the hood, they heard a growl and the trees moving. They hid in front of the car, out of view from the opening of the garage.
Owen whipped his head around to see his gun and was thinking of grabbing it until the dinosaur had appeared. He sat back down and motioned Ava to give him hers. She gladly gave it to him when the creature stuck its head in and nudged against the car. It stopped its attempt and went back outside. Owen silently grabbed his gun and took cover once again, making sure the two women were fine. He handed Ava her gun back at the exact same moment the Indominus crashed through the roof. The trio ran through the debris and sprinted out of the complex.
"Larry, we found her. South of the gyrosphere alley between the old park and aviary." Larry couldn't believe his ears, "Wait. Are you following the dinosaur?" "Yes, get ACU out here. Real guns this time," Claire replied. "ACU is airborne, they took the helicopter." Larry ushered. Claire stopped running, "Who's flying it?" "Mr. Masrani." They ran towards the Pteranodons' cage and saw the helicopter falling through the glass roof. Ava spotted the Pteranodons coming their way, "Into the trees!" Shoving the other two down to the ground, Ava shot some of the reptiles that had saw them. She got them both up and ran past the aviary.
