A few minutes earlier.
Owen looked down as Blue went over and squawked at her sisters before Delta went charging over to the doors that held the male.
'She's either very exited or very angry' Owen thought as he seen Blue jump in front of her and screeched at her, causing her to stop. Owen hummed and leaned on the railing of the catwalk.
'Hopefully she's just excited to see the male and not mad at him for something. 'Cause I don't think that's a fight she'll win' Owen thought watching them talk amongst themselves. Suddenly he seen Claire coming up to his side.
"Are you okay, Mr Grady?" Claire asked also watching the Raptors communicate. Owen nodded.
"Yeah, just got that nervous feeling again. Used to get it before going out on patrol as well. When you're not sure what's going to happen next" he said. Claire slowly nodded not knowing how to respond.
"Uh, so anyway. When will the drugs wear off?" she asked. Owen shrugged and looked around the catwalk. All around the sides of the paddock were tourists waiting to catch a glimpse of the new Raptor.
"Well the girls are up, he took three more than the girls. So he should be up in the next hour-" he started but was interrupted when he heard clanging and screeching coming from the door.
"Or now" he said before he began yelling at the workers, who immediately took up tactical positions around the paddock and took the safeties off their guns.
Owen looked at Claire and slowly nodded. Claire nodded back before she switched on the microphone that was in her hand.
"Ladies and gentlemen, we are proud to announce our newest attraction. A male Raptor from Isle Sorna. I would like to remind you to turn off any flash photography and please do not tease the animals. Especially this one as he is a wild animal. Because here at Jurassic World we take your safety very seriously" she said before Owen looked down at the remote in his hand, his thumb over the one button.
He breathed heavily as he pressed down. The doors underneath him slowly began to open but it seemed that the Raptor didn't feel like waiting as he immediately clawed his way through the small gap between the doors.
He ran passed the girls not paying them any attention and immediately ran at a set of bars, smashing his head into them. It made a loud bang and some of the people yelled out in shock but the bars held and the people immediately went back to admiring him.
He turned and ran at a concrete wall doing the same thing. However it was the same result, nothing except a loud bang with a few new cracks and small chunks in the wall.
He did this a few more times, all the while the squad and the humans watching him run back and forth, before he finally gave up and doubled over to catch his breath. As he breathed heavily, he looked around for another way to get out.
He looked up and locked eyed with Owen before growling a menacing growl at him. Owen didn't react other than just stare back at the animal. He looked over to his right and seen the girls were slowly approaching the male.
The Raptor followed his gaze and seen the four Swift Hunters who had attacked him. He growled and approached them as the humans around him tensed up and raised their weapons.
"You brought me back to the humans" he stated getting less than five feet from them. It would be an easy jump for a Swift Hunter if he decided to attack. Which he was very tempted to.
"We did what we were told" Delta said growling from behind her older sister. The male snarled back before he looked up at the human Alpha.
"You really follow a human? This pack is even weaker than I thought" he said as Delta snarled as did Blue.
"You will do well to not speak ill of our pack. We have you outnumbered and you're in our Territory" Blue said.
The male looked at his sides as the others started to surround him. Owen held up his rifle on the girls before he heard the Raptor make a noise. He almost seemed to be chuckling darkly.
"Really? Okay yes, you have me outnumbered, but I'm not outmatched. Incase you've forgotten, I beat all of you in the woods and I even came back and had to help you against a Spiketail. By the way, what kind of pack can't take down or even chase off a lone Spiketail?" the male said chuckling.
If Raptors could blush the entire pack would be red with rage and embarrassment. Delta was about to pounce when Blue screeched at her to stop before looking back at the male.
"Listen, it's obvious that we're going to be living together or else our Alpha wouldn't have brought you here. So we may as well just try and get along" Blue said.
The male was silent for a few seconds before he did another quick scan, looking for an exit. Seeing nothing, new he turned back to the Beta of the pack.
"Fine, I'll be your Omega but let's get one thing clear. I'm not taking orders from a human" the male said before he stepped back and took a stance.
"Okay let's get this over with" he said as the rest of the pack turned to each other in confusion.
"Uh, do what?" Delta asked. The male looked up at the others in confusion.
"Aren't you going to beat me down?" He asked. The squad went into shock now. He just chuckled even more and got out of the stance.
"Oh wow, this pack really is different from my own. Whenever we find a loner who wants to be our Omega, we beat them down until they can barely stand. And if they survive that and still keep up with us, then they earned the respect of the pack" he said before he turned away from the group and sank into the bushes still shaking his head.
"Well he's nice" Delta said still in an attack position. Blue turned to her.
"Well, you can't really blame him when you think about it. We did attack him in a territory that he staked as his own and now instead of being in charge of a large territory, he's the Omega in our pack" Blue said.
"Wait you're not excusing his attitude and disrespect, are you?" Delta said shocked that her sister would do that.
"No, not entirely but if we are going to live in the same area with him in our pack, then we need to at least have to try and get along" Blue said as Delta mumbled.
"Do other packs really beat down loners like that?" Charlie asked. Everyone remained silent but looked in the direction that the male had gone. It was clear that maybe their pack really wasn't like others.
Up above the paddock, Owen breathed a sigh of relief as he watched the male go into the brush before he began exploring the walls. He couldn't tell if he was looking for a way out or if he was just exploring the area.
But the pack didn't attack him and he didn't attack them so that was good. Barry came over and placed a hand on his shoulder.
"Well they didn't kill each other so that a start" he said as Owen nodded.
"Yeah, still. Keep an eye on them for a few days. Make sure that it isn't just temporary" Owen said before he left to return the rifle he had taken.
A few days later
The male Raptor sighed as he walked along his new territory, if you could call it that. It was bigger than the space that held him before, but it still wasn't as big as the valley he was in.
But it was... Kinda cozy and at least in this place they gave him alive food and not just dead sliced up food. Though he did also eat the dead food as a meal was a meal and he was used to taking every one he could find.
He still hadn't adjusted to his new pack members yet nor did he trust them.
'They're an odd bunch' he thought before he looked over and seen their 'Alpha' making them stand in a line.
After a day in the new place, he noticed that their Alpha regularly trained them. It wasn't any training that he was used to though. Where he had hunting and fighting, they had running and order taking like stay and jump. It was all very confusing.
Sighing, he continued walking before he heard metal sliding on metal. His head snapped towards the source and seen five Pink Squealers come out from the small opening.
Immediately he ran at the group, quickly picking out one single Squealer and cutting it of from the rest. It tried to loose him in the brush but just like the ones before him, it proved to be useless and fatal.
He jumped onto a low hanging tree branch, getting even more height to his jump and came down on the Squealer. He quickly snapped it's neck before he raised his head and let out a series of loud bark signaling his victory.
He was about to start eating it when Blue appeared from the bushes, her jaws also stained with blood.
"Another successful hunt?" she asked as he just ripped into the shoulder meat of the animal and hummed in a 'yeah' manner.
"I already know the answer but would you like to eat with us today?" she asked. The male looked up at her with a questioning look and was about to tell her the same answer as before.
But then he began to think about it. Like the Beta said before, they might as well try and get along. He stood up, picking up the Squealer as he did.
He then nudged his head, signaling the Beta to lead the way. Quickly shaking off the shock, Blue led the way back to where she and her sisters normally ate.
When the male broke the brush the three other Raptors seemed to be shocked that he had come.
"Wow, you got him to come" Delta said in a voice that was half shocking and half sarcasm. The male set down his kill near them but still a good distance away.
"If you're going to make it into a big issue, I'll go back" he said before he laid down and began eating. As he ate, he noticed that the others were staring at him with confusion.
"What?" he asked looking around.
"Nothing it's just... Why do you eat so fast like that?" Echo asked. The male swallowed the piece of meat he had before he answered.
"In my old pack, you needed to eat fast otherwise you run the risk of getting your food taken away from you" he answered as he continued eating.
"You pack doesn't sound very nice" Charlie said. The male looked up once more.
"We don't have time to be 'nice', it's kill or be killed. Eat or be eaten. We don't have none of these grey things around our Territory to keep other hunters out" the male said looking at the walls that surrounded the compound.
"Is that how you got those scars? Others trying to steal your food?" Blue asked. The male looked along his body. Other than the three large ones across his back, he had a lot more smaller ones that littered his body.
"Yep, some are from that. The other ones are from fighting practices, hunting practices and fighting other hunters that entered our territory" the male said as a few humans walked above them. The male recognized one as the male that always hung around the Alpha.
"Well, how are we gonna do this?" The human next to the one he recognized asked. The male Raptor looked up at them and stared them down, silently letting them know just what would happen if they were planning something.
"We'll have to put them all to sleep and then take the male to the vet. But we'll wait till Owen gets back" the male human said before they walked away.
The male turned to the others but found that Delta had a grin that made him feel uneasy.
"What? What is a vet?" he asked as none of them answered.
"If I get outta this I'm gonna rip all of you apart!!" The male Raptor mumbled as loud as he could while he shook violently as his muzzle was restrained in a thing that kept his mouth closed all the way. Along with that his legs and arms were also immobilized
In walked the Alpha of the pack along with the male who always hangs out with him and a female human. She had brown hair and green eyes. She looked younger compared to the other two.
The male let out a growl as she approached.
"Yep, you can tell this is a wild one" the female said running her hand over his body. While Owen's Raptors felt more of a smooth/rough hide, this one's was littered with multiple sized scars and was in no way soft or smooth.
"We know, it took us four shots once more to bring him down" Barry said as he watched Mrs Harding work on the male.
"Really? That's strange. Two of those shots have enough sedative to take down a Stegosaurus" the vet said as she brought over a tray with a bunch of needles lined up on it.
"Well he did have Dr Wu and his group poking and proding him with whatever they have in that building of his" Owen said leaning against a wall.
"Well, that probably explains it" the vet said before grabbing a clipboard. After what she went through during the first Jurassic Park disaster, nobody expected her to be one of the vet applicants. But turns out she followed in her father's footsteps.
She then set the clipboard down before grabbing one of the needles.
"Hopefully you take this a lot better than Delta, big guy" she said before sticking him in the left hind leg.
He roared to life after being still for so long and tried to kick and thrash but the holds prevented him from doing so.
"Easy big boy, easy" Ms Harding said as she rubbed the spot on his leg.
"So what all are you giving him?" Barry asked. Jess grabbed another needle.
"Antibiotics, vitamins and minerals. Just the basics. However since he's never been into the vet before, I'll have to do all of them to get him caught up. Just so he can't transfer any diseases or something like that to the other Raptors" she said before sticking him again.
He growled once more but didn't squirm a lot this time. Dr Harding hummed before she rubbed his leg once more.
"Why didn't he react like before?" Barry asked shocked that the Raptor wasn't trying to break out.
"My guess, needles don't really hurt that bad, at times they're just a minor annoyance but most people, or Delta, just make a big deal about them. And guessing from the scars that this guy has, it isn't the most painful thing he's ever felt. So the first one probably just came as a surprise to him and after seeing there was nothing he could do about it just decided to take it" she said before continuing to work.
The male Raptor bursted out from the holding area and back into the paddock. He stretched his hind legs a few times before sighing.
"Hey, how was the Prick Woman?" Blue asked as the pack came out of the bushes. Delta had the biggest smile on her face.
"Eh, kinda felt like a Small Squawker bite but didn't do any real damage" he answered which made Delta immediately frowned before quickly walking away which made the male smile. However he looked up at the sky and soon his frown left his face as well.
"Storm's coming" he said as the others looked at him with a shocked look.
"How do you know?" Blue asked. He looked over at them with a confused look.
"What you can't feel it? On your skin?" He asked as they just kept looking at him with a shocked look.
"Wow, you guys would not survive long in the wild" he said before walking away. But he stopped and looked back at them again.
"Find Delta and find a place hunker down. If the humans keep to the same routine as they always do they might not know the storm is coming either" the male said before he continued walking away.
The Raptor squad just looked at each other and shrugged. Was he right
"He was right!" Echo yelled as the rain poured heavily and the wind was gusting, blowing the tops of the trees in the enclosure around with ease. Currently they were all hunkered in a corner of the enclosure due to not finding anywhere to ride out the storm in time.
And since it happened late into the night and Owen lived all the way up in the valley in his trailer, he couldn't just walk or drive back there in this storm.
"Where did the male go to?!" Charlie asked as they shivered due to the high wind.
"Maybe we can go stay with him!" she added. The others nodded and began to crawl along the ground as that was the only way they could get around due to the wind.
They got into the section of bushes that the male normally hung out in and went inside. Immediately they all fell into a four foot dug out place under several large bushes that's branches were low to the ground. Plus the male had a dragged a few large branches with leaves still on them and piled up the way the wind was coming from, providing the perfect protection from the wind and rain.
"Whoa" Blue said checking out the dug out area.
"How'd I not know this was here?" she said to herself as the male sighed.
"You always make sure other hunters can't find your hideout. Especially when you're sneaking hunts on their territory" he said before smiling at the others.
"Didn't find anywhere to hold up, did you?" He asked as Blue shook her head.
"To be honest, I didn't think you were telling the truth" she said as he smiled.
"Eh, I understand" he said before he got to the entrance.
"Where are you going?" Blue asked as he stopped.
"I'm an Omega" he said as if the answer was clear but which made the others look at him with confused looks.
"And?" Delta asked. The male looked at them with a confused look again.
"Omegas aren't allowed to sleep near the rest of the pack. They sleep with the other Omegas" he said going to exit.
"Well we're not like that" Blue said firmly stopping him. "You sleep here tonight" she said laying down. Her sisters piled on and around her as they normally did.
The male laid down on the other side of the dugout and curled up.
"DJ" he suddenly said waking the others out of their sleepy state.
"What?" Blue asked. The male raised his head and looked at them.
"My name. It's DJ" he said before laying his head back down and closing his eyes.
Blue looked at her sisters shocked looks before laying her head back down. He was beginning to trust them.
