Events Move Apace
Behind the Innovation Center, there was a smaller building where most of the InGen staff lived in. Victor Hoskins was stirring his favorite morning drink as he thought back to yesterday during the raptor show. He then looked at the file he took from the Staff Archive and gazed at the picture of Wade Reilly. He remembered how the latter fed the raptors, how obedient the raptors had been under his orders.
'Hmmm, that guy is made of much tougher stuff than Grady, but there is something about him that I can't place...'
Vic frowned, he had scanned through Wade's bio and info, there was a lot of things that were either unknown or strange. For example, if he is an experienced animal trainer, there would usually be an interview and a more basic evaluation of his skill.
But he just turned up without needing any of those and when he asked some of the staff about Wade, they would stare at him blankly like they had no idea what he is talking about.
Jurassic World knew nothing of where he came from and where he lives. It is like Wade just appeared out of thin air and people accepted him, but when he is out of sight, people would just forget him.
Vic shoved the papers back into it's file and dumped it on a stack of InGen stuff. Calling an InGen personnel over, he told him to go check up on the raptors and act friendly with them. He then finished his morning drink and decided to talk to Wu.
Hoskins was determined to find out who the hell Wade is and where the hell he came from.
Unknown to Vic, Dr Henry Wu was also sitting in his office busy thinking. He was thinking back to the time when they had to move the Indominus into it's own paddock because it was becoming so big. Wu remembered when the scientists came close to the hybrid to sedate it, it was glaring balefully at them though it did not do anything else to resist.
It acted like it was waiting...waiting for what, though? A person?
'That is not possible, the Indominus hates humans...'
Wu sighed, he hated it when he could not figure something out. Suddenly, someone knocked on the window of his office. Looking up and seeing Hoskins, the geneticist invited the soldier in.
They are going to have a really long talk.
Owen screwed a metal nut on his bike as he continued to think of Wade's mystery dinosaur. He deduced that he or she must be new and just created because of the construction equipment still stashed outside the most likely unfinished paddock.
The raptor trainer sighed as he stood up and went to change tools. The lab was always creating dinosaurs that they believed that can be controlled, he wondered what sort of dinosaur was created and what madness caused Claire to send a rookie to care for one alone.
'Experienced, yes. But only because he watched me train the girls for the first few days and copied my moves.'
Owen sighed again as he returned to his bike and continued fixing it, 'But Wade seemed pretty happy, so the dino in the paddock must be on good terms with him. But what sort of dinosaur is it?
That was what Owen was worried about, if the lab just recklessly tossed DNA around without thinking of the consequences... Well, Owen hated to think what the outcome would be.
He intended to ask Wade as soon as possible about the mystery dinosaur. The crackle of the walkie-talkie snapped Owen out of his thoughts as Lowery spoke, "Control to Owen, you're needed in the raptor pen, some idiot pissed off the raptors...again." Owen groaned, "I'll be right over." before driving off with his half-upgraded bike.
Back at the pen, the four sisters were snarling at the man who infuriated them. The guy from InGen was trying and failing to calm down the pissed and muzzled dinosaurs. Barry was watching with annoyance though it did not show on his face. He let the man try, knowing the raptors are not going to respond to him.
Then the rumbling of a bike engine sounded and Barry turned to see Owen, "Hey, I couldn't get him away from them." Owen nodded and turned off the engine and gave the InGen guy a look, causing him to back off.
"Hey, girls, it's alright."
Owen soothed the raptors gently all the while throwing dirty looks at the InGen guy who said defensively, "I'm here on Hoskins orders,"
"Yeah, well, we don't need you," Owen snapped back after the girls had calmed down. The InGen personnel glared at the raptor trainer and left, obviously ticked off.
Owen sighed for the third time that day, "Where's Wade?"
"Don't know, said he was going to tend to another dino." Barry shrugged as he began heading towards to catwalks.
Owen looked thoughtful, 'Is it that out-of-the-way paddock again? Hmm, better go take a look.' With that, Owen got on his bike and sped off to the still under construction paddock.
Zach was dozing off in Selena's nest during a break from training while the hybrid herself had gone off somewhere. Zach sighed and shifted a little on the dried leaves as he fell into another level of sleep. Suddenly, a roar shocked him awake and Zach frantically looked around for the source.
'Sounds like Selena...wait, why would she roar? There can't be other people in here... Oh, shoot.'
Zach flipped up and ran as fast as he could to where he last heard the Indominus's roar. Upon arrival, he saw a terrified man scrambling away from the hybrid in desperation. Zach keener eyes noticed the tag on the man which said he was from InGen. Scowling, but knowing he had to save the idiot's life anyway, Zach coughed into his fist to attract his dino's attention. Yes, his dino.
Selena whipped around and snarled angrily at him, mindful of who he is to her, oh, how she just wanted to claw or sign something but with the InGen employee there she could not. She stared Zach in the eye, hoping that he would understand.
But Zach gave her a stern look and shook his head. Selena backed off but used her camouflage to turn her scales blood red to warn the man, said man shivered and scrambled back some more.
"Why are you here? What are you doing here?" Zach demanded, worried that news of the Indominus would be leaked but then remembering that he should be worrying about news of him being Selena's trainer leaked and not the former to InGen.
"I'm here on Hoskins orders to check on it," The employee shuddered. Zach twitched and pulled on his best you-are-going-to-be-screwed glare and said, "You never saw me, you don't know who I am and you ran out the moment you were scared shitless by her."
The employee hissed, "Who the hell do you think you are to say that?"
"You don't need to know, oh, you can ask Miss Dearing if you want to, I doubt that she'll answer you though." Zach replied evenly and that shut the employee up. Zach sneaked a quick look at the tag and saw the name 'Nathan' on it, 'I'll remember that,'
"Get out,"
Nathan scrambled out of the paddock quickly and Selena's scales returned back to it's normal white colour. Zach smiled at her and said, "Amazing self-control, 'Lena, well done." Selena crooned softly and puffed out some air, causing Zach to chuckle.
"So...you up for another game?"
Selena's scales shivered in excitement and she signed, 'Can we play Tag?' causing the time traveler to sweat-drop, "Human versus dino? That's not fair, besides, you cover ground a lot more faster than I do,"
Selena rolled her eyes, 'Training for you too, mister. You can out-run even a raptor this way,'
Zach palm-smacked himself, "Okay, since you suggested the game, you lay down the rules," Selena grinned, showing all her teeth and signed, 'The whole paddock is fair game, no tree climbing or hiding and since you have a point, my nest and the rocks where you found me during hide and seek is your special base, okay?'
Zach felt like he wanted to bury himself in the earth since he knew that Selena would flatten him regardless but he still agreed, "Riiight, your call, 'Lena,"
The Indominus started counting down with her claws and Zach realized that she was giving him a head start and the eldest Mitchell ran off as fast as he could. There was some sort of rumble behind him and Zach knew that Selena was laughing at him.
Zach sprinted off to the cluster of rocks, but the hybrid materialized right in front of him, grinning toothily and Zach had to change directions all the while thinking, 'I'm so screwed!'
After a long bout of running and avoiding, Zach was huffing short pants as his heart pumped crazily in his chest. He glanced around nervously and when there was no sign of a hunting dinosaur, Zach let down his guard and leaned against a tree, sighing in relief. Suddenly, a long, thick claw tapped his shoulder and Zach slumped to the ground with a groan.
He glared at the hybrid who was still smiling toothily at him with a 'v' displayed. "Yeah, rub it in my face, why don't you," Zach grumbled as he sprawled out on the ground, "I hate you..."
Selena released another laugh and signed, 'Love you too, mister,' Zach rolled his eyes at that.
Velociraptors - Blue, Delta and Charlie
Blue was napping under her tree and she was dreaming of freedom, running through the vast forests and fields of her ancestors. Suddenly, the dream changed and she was still running, though this time with her siblings and a bunch of humans.
'Huh? What's going on?'
Blue realized that she could not stop running and she decided to rely on her senses instead. She felt something strapped to her head and saw that her siblings were likewise strapped by a red blinking camera. There was a strange scent in her nostrils that she recognized but could not recall where she had smelt it before. She heard the alpha's traveling machine rumbling behind her along with other human vehicles.
Suddenly, Blue felt herself stop and she glanced quickly at her siblings who had also done the same. Then they were all sniffing the air, seemingly searching for something. Then, the air shimmered in front of her and a huge dinosaur appeared.
It's scales were white and it looked weird. 'Must be the created dinosaur!' Blue thought, 'The In...In...Indomimus? No, the Indominus! Yes, that's it! I remember Delta trying to pronounce it...'
Then Blue heard it, she heard the hybrid speak to them, and she felt herself responding automatically though the beta was thinking furiously, 'This hybrid must be part raptor! Wait...what?! Attack Owen and the others? Why?' Blue felt herself pivot and glare at the humans before dashing away into the dark forest with her siblings in tow. Far back, she heard the alpha say, "Watch your six, raptors' got a new alpha!"
Blue jerked awake and stared blankly ahead. She remained like this until Charlie approached, "Ummm, Blue? You okay? You've been staring for quite awhile."
Blue felt troubled and she decided to talk to Charlie about the dream. Delta, who overheard the conversation while passing by, decided to join in.
"It can't have been coincidence," Delta mused as the gears turned in her head. Charlie shook her head, "No way, but somehow both dreams are tied. I think Blue's dream should come before mine."
Blue nodded as she thought back to her dream, she wondered when was she going to meet the Indominus as she was certain that the dreams must be some kind of vision, trying to tell them something.
Owen arrived at Paddock 12 just in time to see a sweaty rookie emerge from it. "Hey, Wade! Over here,"
Zach's head snapped up in surprise, "Owen?"
"Hey, how's it going?"
"Uh, fine, what are you doing here?" Zach felt anxiety rising in his chest, 'Has he found out?'
Owen looked serious, "What sort of dinosaur are you training here?"
'Damn...'
Zach knew from experience that there was no way he could lie in front of the seasoned ex-marine and said slowly, "A...hybrid,"
"What kind of hybrid?"
"I'm not sure...but I'm pretty sure that she's part raptor, part T-Rex, part croc and many more,"
"..."
"Who sent you to do it?"
"Um, au—Miss Dearing," Zach swore inwardly for almost slipping up again. Owen was not stupid, he noticed the slip-up and his eyes narrowed, but he said, "Why? How did this happen?"
Zach winced, knowing there was no backing out of this and told Owen the truth of how he came to train Selena. Despite being suspicious, Owen was happy that Zach treated the Indominus well unlike the idiots back in the lab.
Owen then offered the tired trainer a ride back to his apartment for a shower and Zach gratefully accepted.
After showering and taking a good meal...
Zach held sheaf of reports in his hand as he headed of to ACU's office where someone had asked him to pass it to Katashi. As Zach went pass his aunt's office, he heard voices.
"What? Oh, sure, shouldn't be a problem,"
"Claire, I want you to spend time with the boys, not work all day long. That's the reason why Scott even agreed to send the boys there."
Claire sighed and said, "You know I'm up to my arms in work here, Karen..."
"I know, but it doesn't hurt you to spend a little time with the boys..."
Claire was silent then she finally said, "Alright, I'll see to it that I can spare the time for them,"
"Thank you, Claire, I hope you really get the day off,"
The voices faded and Zach hastened his footsteps to ACU office, his heart roiling with emotions and his head with memories best left forgotten.
'It's coming...my past-self and Gray's coming, oh my God...it's time...it's seriously going to happen...'
Zach felt like his heart was going to beat right out of his chest. As he knocked on ACU's door, he knew that the second turning point was right up ahead.
Yeah! New chapter done~~~ Do you think I should start writing the past's POV? XD Tell me whatcha think~ When do you guys think Owen should find out about the truth of future Zach anyway? Should it be during where past and future meet or very soon before the original timeline comes in? Signing out~
