Own Nothing

Darcy worked on paperwork in her office when she looked up to see Tanner standing in her doorway. "What's up Tanner?" She smiled up at him.

"The Director of S.H.I.E.L.D called in, they're an hour out. I have their rooms ready. Dr. Smith is going to call you in a few minutes about the tour. He is excited to have them come over. HOS Martinez is readying everything over there for them as well." Tanner wet his lips and looked down at his tablet. "Yeah, that's about it."

Darcy tilted her head and stared at the younger person. "You know I got the idea from you." She spoke and Tanner looked up at her. "If we can give Gifted people, these new ones a place to be safe on either Island. And they can help protect our animals. I want to do it."

"And uh." He looked stepped into the office and closed the door. "Mr. Martinez is okay with it?"

"You know." Darcy sighed and looked out her window. "The reason that I think he's really okay with being the HOS over there is because of his sister. Apparently women in his family gain the ability to sing to the fish, to make them jump into the fishermen's boats. He wanted to protect her and if he's there, he can do that. I told him that she's welcome to stay on the Island with him." Darcy looked at Tanner. "You're gifted, you can change your appearance from Taylor to Tanner."

He nodded. "Lowery calls me T-N-T." He smiled a little.

"He calls me Batman."

Tanner laughed, he seemed a little loosened up now. "I heard you started that."

Darcy groaned. "I didn't mean to honestly." She pinched her nose. "My Dad isn't causing any trouble is he?"

Tanner shook his head. "He's been great actually, he's been helping me set up the office space down stairs."

Darcy looked up startled. "He has?"

Tanner nodded. "With his help, I can start hiring some help for each department. Lowery can get some more people in the control room once I go through the applicants for the lawyers. He's been a big help." Tanner typed something in and sent it to Darcy's email.

It popped up on Darcy's tablet and she looked at it. She scrolled through the progress reports amazed. "This is amazing Tanner. I might have to have you set up ER's office."

"I'm already on it Darcy." Tanner stated. "I've slotted in your calendar that when you go with your tour, I'll leave too. Your Dad is staying here to finish up and I'll get it started there. You need to hire an Operations Manager for ER. I know it's not a park, but we're a running facility and you need someone to run each of them so you can focus on your job."

Darcy arched her brow. "Which is to make sure that the park and ER is running smoothly. I know." She sighed and looked down at the tablet again. "You were a quiet thing a few weeks ago."

"You just thought I was." Tanner snorted.

Darcy laughed and looked up. "I guess you're right. Call Claire Dearing. See if she's willing to come back for an interview."

Tanner paled. "For the Park?"

"Do you want to transfer?" Darcy asked and Tanner shook his head. "Then see if she's willing to work for ER. But don't tell her anything about the Gifted. It isn't a done deal and until the ink is dry on that and we know that she's ours. I don't want her to know anything."

"Yes Ma'am."

Darcy scrunched her nose. "Who are you calling Ma'am? My Mother?" she smirked and lowered her voice. "I'm Batman."

Tanner rolled his eyes and waved goodbye and left the office.

It was close to dinner when S.H.I.E.L.D finally landed and Darcy met them on the beach. She watched the Quinn jet land and the team slowly file out and she tried to put faces to some of the names that she got when S.H.I.E.L.D. fell. Some, she knew. Fitzsimmons, Agent May, Bobby, Hunter, Mack. But the girl she didn't know, and she was curious about it. "So?" Darcy smiled up at them. "Where's your leader?"

"That would be me Dr. Lewis-Malcolm." Coulson stated as he walked down the ramp.

"Yousonofabitch." She rushed out as she lifted up her sunglasses against the glare of the falling sun to glare at him. "So you're not dead."

"No." He simply replied. "False alarm."

"Tony owes Steve a lap dance." Darcy placed her sunglasses back on her nose.

Coulson sighed and pinched his nose. "Miss Lewis."

"Dr. Lewis-Malcolm." The young girl corrected.

"That cute, sweet." Darcy smiled at the girl. "But no. Just Darcy, or if you have to Dr. Lewis. Miss Lewis if you want to for old time sakes. Darcy rocks my socks though."

"You're an odd duck love." Hunter stated.

She snorted. "You have no idea. So we have rooms set up for all of you." She tilted her head to the hotel. "It's pretty swank. There is a really nice cafeteria downstairs, Open 24/7 they can make you whatever you want. You name it. You have a tour of the Park in the morning, lunch then a tour of the labs." She smiled at Fitzsimmons jumped in excitement. "I know, some of my lab people are super excited for you too. They love new people." She shook her head with a laugh. "Then Coulson, you and I will talk about my proposal. I left the information in your room for you to go over so you know beforehand."

"Thank you." He stated at he stared at her.

"Darcy." A voice spoke through a talkie in her back pocket.

"Yup." Darcy pulled the talkie out and pushed the button. She waited for the person to speak again.

"We're about to run a drill. Are your people in yet?"

"Just landed, taking them to the hotel. ETA ten minutes. Hold Blue off until. Or start north of the Island and work or way here." She pocketed the talkie and turned to the team. "Grab your bags, it's time to get into the hotel. There is a curfew. You can hang out in the hotel, or even in the outdoor pool on the roof with the employees whenever. But we let Blue out for drills and only security and night time workers are allowed out." She turned and walked to the jeeps waiting for them. "Come on."

They quickly grabbed their bags and got into the jeeps, another security guard driving the other one as they went to the hotel. Darcy got out with them and walked to the front desk and got their keys for them. "This way." She walked them to the elevator and rode up to the tenth floor and got out. "The first ten floors are for staff, each level is based on what their job is or in the case of an emergency of their dinosaur. Security is on the first two floors for example. T-Rex, Raptors, Carnivores are all also on the first three floors."

"Owen Grady, your HOS." Skye, the girl stated.

Darcy nodded. "He's on the first floor, closest to the Raptor enclosure. Back when the Park was opened he had a trailer and lived out by the enclosure and now." She smirked. "Now Blue uses it for her nest." She glanced up at Skye. "I plan to do similar housing on ER when we actually get it staffed with more than just the doctors and scientists." She sighed and walked to the first door. "This one is a double room. She opened it and walked to reveal a spacious living space and two bedrooms. "There's another one like this across the hall, the rest are smaller single room suites." She set the cards on the coffee table for them to decide. "Coulson, I figured you'd do a single room, so your info packet it in the second on the right. But you can grab it and choose a different room." She shrugged

"Look at the view." Simmons whispered as she stared at the setting sun on the beach. "I bet this never gets old."

Darcy smiled at her. "You can stay as long as you guys can." She turned to Coulson. "Really, enjoy. And come back whenever you guys need a place to hide or a break."

"Why are you doing this?" Agent May asked as she stared at Darcy.

Darcy sighed and looked around them. "The Park, this facility and ER. Earth's Revival, they're a salvation project. That's what I want them to be. As humans we keep destroying the life here on Earth. And look we brought back dinosaurs." She gestured outside the window as something in the water splashed down below. "And on our other Island we're hoping to revive the Earth of its most depleted creation, her animals. Countries from all over the world are sending us DNA samples, and soon when we're staffed we'll get actual animals that we can help. But one day, I hope we won't have to do this. That this one step is the point where we turned our planet around and stopped the death." She sighed and scratched her head. "We're so busy thinking about saving the planet from aliens or attacking robots, what about saving the planet from ourselves anymore?"

She shrugged and smiled at them. "I have the science, and Stark has the money. So this is what I'm doing with it. No diabolical plan, no other motive. This. Saving these animals. So one day we don't have to. And I know you Coulson, you're a good man." She looked at him. "You save the world from the bad guys, the ones that no one else is looking for." She walked past him and patted his shoulder. "So enjoy yourself. Read the proposal and we can talk after you have fun. Night guys."

Darcy was halfway through her morning run when she noticed Blue had stopped. "What's wrong girl?" She asked the Raptor as she jogged back to where the Raptor had stopped and looked up to see the tour bus carrying her Dad and the S.H.I.E.L.D team with Taylor giving the tour. Blue whistled and Chirped in amusement up at them as they shouted at Darcy who stood next to the Raptor. Darcy smiled and waved up to them. Taylor waved down in return before she turned back and explained Darcy's daily running routine. Darcy laughed quietly to herself and turned to poke Blue on the side. "Come on, race you?" Blue looked down at her and gave her this stare that almost made Darcy think she was saying 'who are you kidding?' Before both of them took off again down their normal path.

It was an hour later when Darcy and Blue made it back to the main strip to see the tour bus had return and they were all talking excitedly about what they saw. They all stopped when Darcy walked over to her jeep for her water bottle, Blue following her closely behind. She opened the door and grabbed it taking a deep brink before she grabbed a bag out and tossed it to Blue who caught it in her mouth. "Good girl." Darcy smiled.

Blue finished chewing her small prize and then turned to Darcy, never taking her eyes off of her human Mom. She chirped and head butted her as Darcy reached up and ran her hand over her muzzle. "Okay, go run back to your nest. Owen will be there soon." Blue whistled again then took off running. Darcy sighed and watched the Raptor run off into the Park before she took a step towards the group and smiled at them. "Thanks for not making a scene that could've ended badly."

"You've gotten better with her." Taylor smiled as she stepped up to stand next to Darcy. "You can almost keep up running with her."

Darcy snorted and shook her head. "She slows down to let me think I'm keeping up with her." She looks at her assistant before Coulson's team. "Did you like the tour?"

"Yeah." Skye beamed as Fitz and Simmons bounced up and down with questions.

Darcy laughed. "I'm sure Taylor can answer most of your questions. I need to go shower and change. It's a bit early for lunch, so why don't you guys do have fun at the hotel and we'll meet up for lunch. Then we'll tour the labs." She smiled at them.

"Will your HOS be joining us?" Bobbie asked.

Darcy shrugged. "I can check, he might be busy." She flicked over to see her Dad staring at her. "I'll check in with you guys in a bit." She waved and stepped back to her jeep. She made it to the door when she saw her Dad had followed her. "Yes, Dad." She turned to face him.

"What aren't you telling me?" He asked her.

"Could you narrow it down?" She asked him.

"The sudden control over the Raptor? This mysterious proposal you and assistant are working on?" He stared at her.

"The Raptor's name is Blue." Darcy started. "And she is the closest thing that you have for a granddaughter from me, so deal." She gave him a stared to challenge her. "Second, she is going by Taylor today, tomorrow she may also go by that, or by Tanner. So please respect her choice."

"I like the kid Darce." Ian growled. "Taylor's a great kid. And if you really…if you really going to keep on calling Blue your own kid." He sighed and ran his hand through his hair a few times. "Fine, then I'm ramping up the puns."

"What?" She sputtered.

"Your kid's a little scaly Darcy, you should put some moisturizer on her." He stated with a blank face.

"Shut up." She blink. "What the hell Dad. Did you? Moisturize Blue…" She couldn't help it, she let out a laugh. "Dad." She groaned and pinched her nose. "I can't."

"So you want to tell me why the sudden control? Are you Voldemort now?" He asked her, completely serious.

She sighed and opened the jeep door and got in, she started it to get the AC going and set back. "Maybe it's because I finally Alphaed her Alpha." She smirked at her Dad's shocked face.

"You did what?"

"I need to go now Dad. Bye." She closed the door and pulled away.

When she pulled up at home she let herself into her cottage and dropped the keys on the table next to the door and kicked off her shoes. She walked into the bedroom to see a sleeping form still in her bed. She smiled and shook her head and quietly made her way over and her smile turned into a smirk as she prepared to pounce on the bed. "Don't you dare." He warned her. "I see what you're planning." He peeked out from underneath the blankets.

"Well it's time to get up." She told him. "Blue wants her Dad." She crossed her arms over her chest.

"Come here." He opened up the bed covers.

She shook her head and scrunched her nose. "I'm all gross and stinky."

"I felt the same way last night, you didn't make me take a shower." He told her.

She laugh. "It's a good scent on you. Makes Blue approve of her parents." She winked at him as she stepped away. "Maybe after a shower." She turned away and took off her clothes and dumped them in the dirty clothes bin. "You need one too." She stated over her shoulder.

He watched her from under the covers enter the bathroom. He heard the shower turn on before he kicked the covers off. "You want to tell me why S.H.I.E.L.D is here for?"

"Nope." She stated from the bathroom. "It's not final yet. Besides." He opened the door to the bathroom to her in the shower. She turned to face him and smiled. "I don't know how you feel about it and until I get more information, I don't want to discuss it."

He stared down at her. "This isn't anything dangerous is it?"

"I'm not creating anything." She replied. "This isn't like the Indominus Rex."

"That wasn't what I was asking." He replied as he stepped into the water with her. "On the scale one to an Avenger how dangerous?"

She frowned and turned away from him to grab her soap to scrub her skin. "That's a loaded question." She whispered.

"Darcy."

"Look!" She raised her voice. "I don't know, they could be like, I don't know nice people who got powers and just want to feel safe." She stopped herself from saying Taylor. No one but her and Tyler knew the truth. They just thought she was a normal Transgender, not gifted. "Or they could be powerful. But I wanted to see if maybe we could use them to staff ER. To protect the animals." She felt warm tears rush down her face. But that could've been from the shampoo that she put in her hair before Owen got into the shower. "We could give them a safe place, train them, give them skills that they could use and S.H.I.E.L.D would know where they were. Sorry, it's a stupid idea. We just have all these hybrids dinosaurs and almost extinct animals, why can't we save these people too?" She raised her head to wash her face, her back turned to Owen. "It's why I didn't want to tell you."

"Because you thought I would think your idea would be stupid?" He asked her.

"That this would be too much." She whispered. "I just thought, no one would be looking for them here." She finally turned around so she could rinse her hair out.

"It is too much, you can't possibly do this all by yourself." Owen whisper as he ran his fingers through her hair.

She snorted. "I had Taylor call up Claire Dearing yesterday to set up an interview to be the Ops Manager for ER." She cracked one eyes open to see Owen staring down at her. "How's that for managing?"

"You're insane." He muttered.

"Dad seems to think so." She replied. "Told him that I Alphaed the Alpha and he about lost it."

Owen laughed loudly. "Shit, wait until Lowery hears that."

"I would wait." She replied. "I said one thing about human kids and he freaked on me. He said that the Islands aren't ready for me to be a human Mom." She sighed and grabbed the conditioner and put it in her hair and handed Owen the soap. They switched spots and he stared down at her confused. "Yeah, I know." She whispered.

"We have Blue and three on the way." He stated as he washed.

She nodded and looked off to the side. "We should hurry up. We have lunch with the team. You have Blue to see, and I have a lab tour." He rinse himself off and they switched places again and she rinsed out her hair.

"I have a bed to see about a girl." He smirked as reached behind her and turned off the water.

"Owen." Darcy warned as she glared at him. "We don't have time."

"They can start without you." He told her as he handed her a towel to dry off quickly. "They know how to eat." He leaned down to kiss her.

"They're my quests."

"I'm your Alpha Husband."

She rolled her eyes. "Boyfriend at least." She held her hand. "I see no ring." He grabbed her hand and used it to drag her to bed. "Owen." She groaned before she was silenced with a kiss.
