Epilogue

"This must have been the worst fucking holiday, huh?" I asked Zach jokingly, nudging him in the side while I sipped from a cup of coffee.

"The worst," he agreed, before snaring my free hand with his right one. "And the best."

"You big cheese-ball," I muttered, resting my head on his shoulder. We sat like that for a long time, just looking blankly at the crowd of people in the docking station, refusing to acknowledge the fact that we would be separated in just an hour or so.

"Hey, Alex, do you think you'll come and visit us at some point?" Gray wondered, walking over to us with a sandwich in his hand. I nodded, and pulled him close for a one-armed hug.

"Sure, little guy. And it won't just be to see your brother, I promise."

Gray chuckled, and Zach smiled at me, pressing a quick kiss to my temple.

"Hey, I know I lost my phone when we escaped the Gyrosphere, but I know your number. I'll text you when I get a new phone, and we can arrange to meet up at some point," Zach said quietly, his mouth a few inches from my ear. I nodded, and ran my fingers through Gray's hair, my chest already aching. I could see Claire coming towards us, and knew it was almost time for the boys to go.

I had lost so much in the past day: my colleagues, my job, my raptor pack, and now the Mitchells too..?

"Oh my god, it's your parents," Claire said, pulling the boys to their feet. I turned around to see a man and woman approaching, both in tears. They pulled Gray and Zach towards them, while Claire hugged the woman: they must have been sisters.

"Hey, Mom, Dad, this is Alex. She came looking for me and Gray, and made sure we were safe out there," Zach said, and both adults turned to me.

"Thank you for looking after my boys," their mother said, bringing me into a tight hug.

"Thank you so much. We're so grateful," their dad managed to choke out, and he shook my hand vigorously. I spied Owen waving to me over his shoulder, and decided to take my leave.

"Hey Zach, I have to go now, but I'll-!" Zach crushed me to him, and rested his head on mine.

"I promise I'll keep in touch. I'll see you around, Alex." He pulled away, and seemed to be hesitating over something. I rolled my eyes, and wrapped my arms around his neck.

"Just kiss me you idiot." I grinned cheekily at him, and his arms closed around my waist, yanking me closer.

And kiss me he did.

Hi guys!

Right, first I just want to apologise. I'm meant to be writing my Godly Initiative sequel, but to be honest, I ran into a huge amount of writers block, and since watching Jurassic World, I've had this story running around in my head. I decided to get it out as fast as possible, and half-way through this story, I had a huge epiphany concerning my sequel, so writing this fic was actually a good thing!

I'm sorry if this seems rushed, and not up to my usual standard: I hosetly just had to get this out of my head, and I promise I'll come back to it and fix it later. For now, I hope you enjoy, and if you have any ideas as to how I could improve this, don't be afraid to review! All opinions are welcomed.

Anyway, I hope you guys enjoyed, and stay tuned for my Avengers: Age of Ultron fancfic 'The Next Time'! So, until next time.

Ta-ta!
