I got my first fanart, and I want you all to see it too!

Thank you Top Kicker for this piece of artwork! Go visit my profile if you want the link to it!

As always, thank you very much for the reviews!

"DNA Tests and Cheeseburgers."

"Look, InGen will cover the liabilities you paid, and you'll keep the profit the Indominus brought in. You send her to Isla Sorna, along with Mr. Grady."

Claire refused to curl her lip in disgust as she sat tall in her new office. It had been Mr. Masrani's, but she couldn't bring herself to change more than his name on the desk. She had called his surviving kin, and offered to bring them here so they could choose what they wanted from his office.

"I don't think so. Elise stays here. We'll pay her off, in increments, and you hand over all records on her. What makes you think she will stay on that island? Mr. Grady doesn't care for that island, and Elise has adopted my Tyrannosaurus as her mother. She's been integrated into Mr. Grady's Velociraptor pack, and those assets are staying right here."

Hart was beginning to look exasperated, and he sighed, "Look, I get she's smarter than a raptor, it's great she can say her name and open a ball, but she's just an animal."

Claire stiffened before leaning over her desk as she quietly said, "She has enough human in her that she guarded her sister's remains her entire life. She built a cave to protect the skeleton. She tried to get our help. Your veterinarian is very lucky he is not alive to answer for the abuse he cause those two. I will not sign over Elise to a prion infested island, and I know that Triceratops is from Isla Sorna. I have no idea how that animal got on this island, but InGen is going to be in a lot of trouble when I find out."

"Animals swim all the time, Miss Claire. We do our best, but sometimes one slips by."

"I now have a body count of nine of my own Triceratops! We lost our Alpha, and the herd is stressed! My Gyrosphere Plains are closed because of your 'slip up'."

The balding lawyer winced, but quietly said, "We are willing to cover those expenses, and loss if you hand over the Indominus quietly. She'll have her own space, far away from the infected animals, and Mr. Grady will be there."

"Mr. Grady will not leave his Velociraptors behind. Mr. Hart, I will say this one more time. Elise is going to stay here."

"…You know Jurassic World won't last without our geneticists."

Claire narrowed her eyes before snapping, "And InGen will never get business again after this major muck up of yours. It was InGen's call to set the Velociraptors loose, Mr. Grady did not approve of that plan. It was InGen who was responsible for Elise's security when she went on her rampage. Jurassic World kept its assets contained. It won't matter what the geneticists can create if you can't control them. Jurassic World knows how to handle these animals."

Hart couldn't help dryly saying, "Really?"

Claire raised an eyebrow before curtly asking, "Would you like to see the videos of Mr. Grady single handedly putting our Velociraptors back? How about him calming Elise down? Would you like to see opening day where she became the most popular attraction this park has ever seen? Jurassic World lost a week of business because of InGen, but we had all our animals contained by day three. It's been over twenty years, and InGen has only allowed their animals to run rampant over that island. I still have footage from the San Diego incident if you would like to review that."

Hart said nothing, and Claire folded her hands on the mahogany wood desk as she said, "The point is, InGen has absolutely no use for Elise when you can't even manage the health of your own animals. I don't care if we give Elise a choice on where she wants to live, she's not going to leave Owen, Rexy, or her new pack behind. She has family here."

Claire leaned back in her chair, and gave a brief glance at Graves before saying, "I will pay off Elise, and you leave her here. InGen continues to create our dinosaurs, and I won't press charges for the liabilities."

Claire wanted to smirk when Hart didn't have a counter offer, but she paused when Graves quietly asked, "Where's you proof that InGen owns Elise, Mr. Hart?"

The lawyer looked like he felt better at finally having an answer to something, and he pulled out a paper from his briefcase. His white shirt was still stained red, and his nose swollen, but he ignored it. Graves took the paper before scanning his eyes over the document. He frowned before asking, "IR-01?"

"That's her file name when we made this contract."

Graves turned his gaze back to the paper before saying, "There's no form of identification on here except this name. Does Elise have a tag, or a tattoo?"

Hart blinked before saying, "No, why?"

Graves raised his silver eyebrows before looking at Claire, and saying, "Because you have no proof that Elise is IR-01; that could be her sister for all we know."

Hart paled for a second, and Claire smiled, before he hastily said, "Bottom of the page! On the bottom of the page is her DNA signature. We know it's Elise's."

Claire paused when she swore she saw the smallest flash of fear in Hart. He didn't know for sure if Elise was IR-01. Claire smelled blood in the water, and she was going for it.

"I want a DNA test done. This discussion is over until I have the results back. The DNA test will be done in a neutral lab to prevent InGen from interfering."

"But-"

Claire stood, and extended her hand towards the door as she politely said, "Thank you for your time, Mr. Hart. I will have three copies of the results made, and all of them will be sent to Judge Knight before she hands us our own copy. In the time being, please enjoy your visit to Jurassic World."

Claire checked her watch before adding, "In fact, you have enough time to change and clean up before visiting Rexy the Tyrannosaurus. I think you'll like her. She has an appreciated taste for lawyers."

Hart paled at the dark joke, but took his paper back before leaving the room. When the door shut, Claire sank into her chair, and quietly asked, "Can I be sued for that joke?"

Graves shrugged as he read over his notes before answering, "People can sue for spilling coffee on themselves. I'm sure he could, but we could just ask Rexy to clarify to Mr. Hart. I'm told she's a blunt creature."

"You have no idea, Mr. Graves, but I'd think she'd like you."

The silver haired lawyer snorted before saying, "I saw the look on Elise's face; I think I smell like Hart. I don't think I'll push my luck with Rexy."

"You know what's crazy about Humpty Dumpty? They never said he was an egg."

Vivian paused from her typing to think about that before shrugging. Lowery hadn't found anything useful for Debra, and she had finally made it to the bathroom closest to Elise's paddock. Owen had sent his raptors back into the paddock when Jackie had arrived to do the stitches, and things went smoothly.

Except when a man decided to streak across the plaza. Lowery had to admit he was impressed with how fit the guy was, but the security was a bit better.

Lowery pressed his back against the chair, sighing when the vertebrae cracked, and he checked his watched; five more minutes until his break.

"Are you going to go visit Elise?"

"Her next show isn't for another half hour."

Vivian glanced at him before saying, "I think you should get some one on one time with her. You did save her life; twice."

Lowery scratched his head sheepishly as he said, "I don't know about that. I just told Claire about the video, and all I did was shut down the fence; Rexy scared the Triceratops away."

Vivian gave a warm smile, and turned to him before saying, "We all saw how fast you ran across the plaza to get here so you could tell Claire. You even dumped your Mcflurry on the ground."

Lowery sighed, "And they had actually put a good amount of Oreos in that one…they never put enough Oreos…"

She gave a gentle pat on his shoulder as she said, "I think you've done enough to get to know her personally. I'll cover for you; go meet her."

Lowery grimaced as he stared at the screen. He could see Owen sweeping the floor of the Observation Room. Lowery gestured to himself as he said, "I just don't know how she's going to resist the temptation of wanting a taste of this good looking body."

Vivian started to laugh quietly, and Lowery gave her a dry look. He really wished she didn't have a boyfriend, but he liked her enough to respect it. She nudged him, and Lowery heaved a sigh as he announced, "Alright, alright, I'm going. If I get eaten, Jack, Jerry, and Sierra already have dibs on my plastic dinosaurs. Bury me with my Apatosaurus, okay?"

Vivian smiled, and nodded, as Lowery stepped into the elevator. He raised an eyebrow when someone called out, "Bring her a cheeseburger! Appeal to the American in her!"

Lowery saluted the brown haired man as he said, "Good thinking! I will let you all know what the outside world is like, but I shall return!"

He snorted when the Control Room began to clap for him as the doors slid shut, but he heaved a sigh when the elevator began to move.

He really hoped Elise would be friendly; he didn't have the best luck with women.
