The Name

It was Friday. The weekend was dawning upon the park and everyone in it. Owen and Claire were looking forward to another date, Indy was waiting to hear if the park would reopen or not, and Lowery was stuck watching Indy from the cameras onside her paddock. Lowery had only met Indy once in person, and Claire and Owen insist that he get close to her, as well. Everyone saw when Indy smiled when Claire touched her, and that astonished everyone, including the InGen rep that asked Claire to do it.

Indy was walking through her 'home' as she began to think about the different dinosaurs on the island. This island was full of them. Even though, Indy wiped out a number of them, there was a still a good amount to keep the park up until they got more species. Indy remembered seeing some of them along a river, with humans in small kayaks paddling down and taking pictures of the dinosaurs. There were two dinosaurs that stood out to her the most however. Most of the dinosaurs along the river were herbivores, but there were two that didn't look like herbivores. Both ate the fish that lived in the river, and seemed very calm for predators. One had lime green marking around its amber eyes, and small proto-feathers on the back of its head. It also had brown and yellow stripes on its back, legs, and underbelly. It even had patches of brown on its body. This dinosaur peaked Indy's interest, but since she was on the run, she couldn't get close to them. The other dinosaur, was dark blue and had a yellow underbelly and striping from the tail to its lower back. This dinosaur also had proto-feathers on the back of its arms and it head. Both dinosaurs seemed very familiar, but they were two completely different species. The image of the dinosaurs never left Indy's mind and she still wonders about them now. Indy was snapped from her thoughts when she saw Owen and Red One enter the viewing room. She gave a soft croon to the both of them, and they smiled in unison at the hybrid.

"Hi Indy," said Claire as she waved her hand as the Indominus.

Indy replied with a kind warble and then turned her focus to Owen.

"So, were still trying to find a name for you. I've narrowed it down to two. I'll tell you what your new name is later today. For now, just, think about the many names that we can call you," said Owen.

Indy hated waiting. She was impatient. She liked it when things happened right away. She wanted Owen and Claire's deaths the night of the Indominus Incident to be quick and painless, even though she knew it wouldn't be painless, to Owen and Claire at least. Now she had to think about the new name that Owen would bestow upon her. Indy liked thinking. It helped her realize things about her and those around her with mental images. She liked thinking about Owen, the future of the park, and the two dinosaurs at the river. She wondered if she would meet them one day.

"Owen, how can you leave her in suspense in like that?" asked Claire.

"What? I'm still deciding which one to call her," said Owen as he then placed his hands on his hips.

"Well, can you at least tell me which names you have to choose from?"

"Later, on our date. Right now, we got to get Lowery down here."

"He should, but he won't. He feels safe at Control, watching Indy from the cameras in her paddock."

Owen snorted at Claire's words. Lowery would have to meet Indy in person again one day, and that day should be today.

"All right, I got a plan," said Owen.

"What?" asked Claire.

"Before the day ends, we need to get Lowery down here to talk with Indy."

"Okay. I needed something to do today."

"So, you'll handle Lowery?"

"Yeah, I will. You can just spend time right now with Indy, and with your girls later."

"Okay."

Claire gave a small smile as she then turned her attention to Indy and gave a small wave of her hand. She said goodbye to Indy and then stepped out of the viewing room to go and do her best to convince Lowery to talk with the Indominus. Owen looked into Indy's eyes and could see curiosity inside of them.

"How's it going, Indy?" asked Owen as he walked over to sit down in a chair that was inside of the viewing room.

The chair had wheels, so Owen rolled it over to a position that was aiming directly at Indy. Owen sat down and then placed his hands on the back of his head. Indy replied with a chitter, saying that she was thinking about the two dinosaurs. Maybe Owen, or Red One, knew who they were. Maybe they could introduce her to them. She didn't know why, but she had an anticipation to meet them, especially Lime Eyes. She knew that its eyes were an amber color, but Lime Eyes fits because of the lime green markings around its eyes. She couldn't explain it. Deep inside, maybe it, or they, could become the friends she has always wanted. She had Owen, who was becoming a closer friend to her, and now she was starting a friendship with Red One. She wanted to meet the man who's voice could be heard throughout the paddock every now and then, and the man said that he was hiding safely somewhere. She wanted to meet that man, what was his name again? Lowery, right? Indy wanted to meet so many people, so many dinosaurs. She wanted to see Blue One, Green One, and Bronze One again. She may have betrayed them, but she hoped that they moved past it and that they could become friends again, maybe even a pack. Maybe even...a family. Indy didn't fully know what a family was, but she knew that there was an Alpha at the top, and the rest of the members were submissive under them. Indy wanted a family. She heard from Red One that she had a sister, but heard that she ate it at birth. At that moment, Indy realized what her nightmare was. It was a memory of when she ate her sister. She could remember everything from the day she hatched. When she ate her sister, when a man by the name of Wu grabbed her and placed her on a table and began to perform tests and experiments on her, and when she was alone in a warm incubator. She regretted eating her sister, wishing that she could go back and not eat her. Indy then imagined how her life would have been like if she didn't eat her sister. Maybe, she would have been normal and not have went out on a rampage. Maybe, they would have both gone out on a rampage and destroyed the park together. So many different scenarios that went along with if her sister had lived, but she couldn't focus on it now. No, now, she had to focus on the present and what was happening in her life now. She had no one yet. Well, she had Owen, and Red One she presumed.

"That's good. Say, if the park reopens, would you like to get a bigger paddock?" asked Owen as he slouched in the chair.

Indy nodded her head. She would love it if they expanded her territory. Maybe, they could add in a big field that she could run around in, or a nice pond with crystal clear, and cold water.

"Okay, I'll bring it up to Claire later. Now, would you like to meet other dinosaurs?"

Indy nodded her head rapidly and then let out a cheerful croon. She really wanted to meet other dinosaurs. She wanted to see Blue One and her pack again and Lime Eyes and the other with it. She also wanted to meet a dinosaur that they called Rexy. They said that she was huge and could shake the Earth with her roar, and that made Indy want to meet her.

Owen smiled at Indy's answer and then began to think about how Indy would react when meeting other dinosaurs, especially Rexy. She could see her slowly stepping forward to the Queen of Isla Nublar and then submit under her. He could also picture Rexy putting Indy under her wing and taking care of her, like a mother would a daughter. Owen then thought about Indy seeing Blue and the others again, and this made Owen give a small frown. Owen didn't want Indy to see Blue and the rest of the pack again. Last time they met, Charlie lost her life and many men lost their lives, too. Owen didn't want to risk that again. He then snapped from his thoughts and looked into Indy's scarlet eyes. He could see the excitement and curiosity in them, and it made his heart melt a little. But, he wouldn't let this small feeling change his mind. Indy would never see the raptors again and that was final.

Claire stepped inside of the Control room and approached Lowery as he was checking the cameras that were set up throughout all the park.

"Lowery," began Claire, "you have a minute?"

"Uh, yeah, sure. What's up Claire?" he asked.

"Owen and I need you to do us a favor?"

"What favor?"

"To talk to Indy."

"Claire, you already know how I feel about that."

"Lowery, you need to talk to her. Your going to drive her insane if she doesn't know who is speaking to her through the speakers in her paddock."

"Claire, I'm sorry. But, I'm just going to stay here, where I'm safe, and talk to her from here."

Lowery went back to looking at the cameras, when Claire turned his chair around, making him look into her irritated green eyes.

"Lowery, you listen here and you listen good. You are going to talk to Indy. Because, if you don't, I will see it that you are thrown into her paddock and lock you in with her, or I'll just fire you, but I like the first option a whole lot more," said Claire with a partially sadistic tone.

Lowery gulped down hard and then tried looking away from Claire's death glare. He then slowly responded, "O-Okay. I'll go talk with her later."

Claire deepened her glare and then Lowery said, "Or right now. Right now's good. Would you mind taking me there?"

Claire smiled and then said, "I wouldn't mind that at all."

Lowery gave a scared smile and then got up from his chair and followed Claire to her car.

Owen watched Indy as she walked around the paddock. She seemed to like walking through the brush a lot, which was understandable because she enjoyed roaming through the forest and jungle outside of her paddock, so it was the closest thing she had to it. But, since the main door to the paddock still wasn't fixed, she couldn't walk out anytime she wanted. Owen liked Indy. She was starting to seem innocent, even though he knew her sins. She was starting to be nice, and happy, and many other things. She had come so far from how she was about a week ago. She was starting to like people, even if she only liked Owen and Claire, for now that is. Owen was snapped from his thoughts when he heard a door open. He turned around and saw Claire and Lowery walking toward him.

"Whoa, Lowery, Claire threaten to kill to get you here?" asked Owen with a small smile.

"Yeah, pretty much," replied Lowery.

"Oh."

Owen didn't expect that answer, so he didn't know what else to say, so he just went onto something else.

"So, here to finally talk to Indy?" he asked.

"Yep," replied Lowery nervously.

"Okay, so, you want to do it up and personal or from here?"

"From here's good."

"Up and personal it is."

"What? No! You guys cannot be serious!"

Claire and Owen then forcefully escorted Lowery to the door that led to the paddock. The door opened and revealed the dense brush of the paddock and the dirt of the ground. Lowery began to panic and flail, but Claire was surprisingly strong and, with the help of Owen, pushed Lowery into the paddock. The door closed behind him and he ran over to it and began to bang on it and yell.

"Guys! This isn't funny! I really don't want to be here right now! I just wanted to talk to her from the viewing room!" he yelled.

"Lowery, just talk to her a little okay? Once you do that, then we'll let you back in," said Claire.

"Yeah, while you're up to that, Claire and I are going to go hang out at my bungalow," said Owen.

"You guys are asses! I swear, when I get out of here, I'm going to murder you both, using Indy!"

Lowery heard when Claire and Owen laughed at his words and he felt rage build up inside of him. He really was going to murder them when he got out. But, it seemed that for now, he'd have to find and talk to Indy. Lowery then began to slowly step through the paddock, carefully taking each step with caution, since he didn't know how Indy would react to him being in her territory. He entered the brush and admired its beauty. The green leaves of the trees and bushes, the brown of the soft earth beneath his feet, and the nice looking flowers scattered around on the floor. It was a really nice place, yet it was home to a not so nice creature. Lowery heard the snapping of a tree branch, and then turned in the direction of where the sound came from. Then, leaves began to move, or so Lowery thought. Out of the trees came a camouflaged Indy, terrifying Lowery to no other degree possible. Lowery took a few steps back, and felt his heart rate rise since he was in the presence of the 'Untamable King.'

"H-Hi Indy," said Lowery nervously.

The Indominus replied with a chitter. She didn't know if this man was a friend or an enemy. She had seen him before, but wasn't sure if this was an ally or not. If this was a friend of Owen, then she could start learning to trust this human, but if he wasn't a friend, then this man might lose his life right now.

"My name is Lowery Cruthers. I-I'm a friend of Owen's and a friend of yours, too, I guess."

Indy saw that this man was scared of her. But, since he was a friend of Owen's, he didn't have to be afraid, since Indy wouldn't kill him now. She gave a chirp at him, but he didn't say anything after that. Is this human that scared of Indy? This was going to take a while.

Owen and Claire were sitting on a blanket that was lying down on the ground, facing the direction of the lake.

"This place is beautiful," said Claire.

"I know," said Owen.

"How did I not realize this last time I was here?"

"Because last time you were here, you told me to check on the Indominus paddock, and we all know how that turned out."

"Right, so, what are the names that you thought of for Indy?"

Owen turned his head to look at Claire and then said, "Well, the first one I thought of was Addilyn."

Claire arched an eyebrow at the name and then asked, "Addilyn?"

"Well, its strange, yet unique don't you think?"

"You have a point. What's the other name?"

"Alice."

"Alice?"

"Yeah."

"Well, Indy is certainly in Wonderland, I'll tell you that."

Owen gave a small smile at Claire's words. Indy was in a kind of Wonderland, with all the craziness that went on the day of the Incident, and not to mention all the strange creatures that were living on this island. They should rename the park Jurassic Wonderland.

"So," began Owen, "what do you think of Alice?"

"It's a nice name. To be honest, I like it better than Addilyn," said Claire.

"Okay, thanks for the input."

"No problem. Say, how do you think Lowery's holding up with Indy?"

"Well, let's just hope she hasn't eaten him yet."

"Want to go check on them?"

"Yeah, I guess. We've been out here for like, an hour, right?"

"Hour and a half."

"Really?"

"Yes, but that's not the point. Let's get going, shall we?"

Owen nodded his head and he got into Claire's car and they drove off to the Indominus paddock.

Indy sighed as the man continued to talk on and on. She liked that she had a new friend, but was slightly irritated when he wouldn't stop talking. She realized that this was the man whose voice would show up in her home every now and then. That meant that this wouldn't be the last time she heard him speak. She couldn't take anymore of his talking and interrupted him with a bark.

Lowery stopped talking and looked at Indy and stared into her scarlet eyes. He could tell that she wanted him to stop talking, so, he complied. He wished Owen and Claire were back so that he could get out of here. He liked Indy, but he felt a whole lot safer at Control. He saw Indy turn her head in the direction of the viewing room and turned his head as well. It was Claire and Owen. Thank God! Lowery began to walk toward the door and then turned to Indy and said, "See you later Indy! Or, talk you later."

The Indominus replied with a croon and then saw when the door opened and Lowery stepped out of the paddock.

Lowery was led by Owen to the viewing room and they both saw that Claire was on the phone with someone. Probably the board. It was the call that everyone had been waiting for. Claire saw Owen and Lowery enter the room and then stepped out of the room. Owen and Lowery then looked through the viewing glass and watched Indy as she approached the glass.

"Hey Indy," began Owen, "how's it going?"

Indy replied with a chitter.

"How was Lowery?"

She responded with a croon.

"That boring, huh?"

She nodded her head.

"What? I was boring?" asked Lowery.

Indy nodded her head again, this time with a small smile tugging at her lips.

Owen gave a small chuckle at Indy's reply and then told her, "Hey, I've finally come up with a name for you."

Indy tilted her head and then waited to see what Owen came up with.

"Your new name is going to be...Alice."

Alice. That name sounded very nice in Indy's ears. She loved how it sounded. She gave a warm croon at the name.

"You like the name?" asked Owen.

Indy nodded her head happily.

"Okay then. From here on, your name in now Alice."

Indy, or, Alice, was very pleased with her new name and felt the bond between her and Owen grow a bit more.

Owen and Lowery turned around and saw Claire walking in.

"So?" asked Owen.

Claire waited to answer when she finally was standing in front of them. She took a deep breath before finally answering, "...We got the green light."

Jurassic World was going to reopen. Indy was given a new name, Alice, and that helped her bond with Owen. Alice's chance for redemption was going to happen after all. Also, she began a friendship with Lowery, and Alice still wanted to meet many people, as in dinosaurs of course. Maybe she'll get her wish one day, right?
