Own Nothing
Darcy set next to Lowery in the control room, swerving back and forth in her chair. "He's so hot." She smirked at him.
"Oh look, your Dad's calling. Hi Dr. Malcolm." Lowery brought up the screen with Ian's face. "Please talk to your daughter."
Darcy rolled her eyes at her friend. "Hey Dad, how's the teaching job?"
"When were you going to tell me that Dr. Lewis-Malcolm is now the new owner and leader of Jurassic World?" He asked her. "You said that you were just going there for work."
"It is work." She replied. "I'm working, Lowery, aren't we working?" She asked the man next to her.
"I'm not getting involved."
"Wise man." Ian stated as he glared at his daughter. "Stark made a press released that the Masrani-Stark Foundation with the help of a Dr. Lewis-Malcolm, first name redacted for her safety, is starting a new project on Isla Nublar." He glared at her. "So, what do you have to say for yourself Darcy?"
"I broke the hand of the head of security of InGen earlier today." She stated proudly. "He was a dick, and tried to touch me, so I broke it."
Ian pinched the bridge of his nose and sighed. "I'm proud of you sweetie, I really am. But I want you off that Island on the first ferry. Your mother is going to kill me."
"Dad, I'm 29." Darcy stated. "I'm not a kid." She looked up at him through the screen. "This isn't like this time where Tim and Lex from the first Park, or Kelly where she was attacked by the Raptors. I'm fine. I'm not leaving."
Lowery looked between Darcy and the screen and felt awkward as he played with his dinosaurs.
Ian stared at his daughter and sighed. "Alright, but just call me every few days and promise me that you'll stay safe. You're still coming home for Christmas?"
"That's the plan Stan." She smiled at him.
"I'd love to hear about this new project sometime." He told her. "Call me."
"I will, love you." She signed off and set back in her chair. "God that could've gone better."
"We've could've told him that you met Blue." Lowery told her.
She gave him and look. "Do that and I will constantly talk about Dino Dad of the year."
"I hate you." He muttered as he turned back to his computer. "Don't you have an office to go to, assistants to hire and a Park to run?"
"Lawyers." She explained. "They've planted a man so everyone thinks there is a Boss behind the curtain when really." She smiled and winked.
"So Stark's running them in circles while you're here building a staff that you can trust." Lowery stated as he checked the life lines of the dinosaurs. "That makes sense, you're a very behind the scenes kind of person."
"I'm sure to be insulted." Darcy stated as she thought about it.
"You're a doctor in Paleontology and yet you didn't want to work here. You don't go by your full name and you only introduce yourself by your first name." Lowery told her.
"That's because I don't want people to look at me and realize that I'm the Boss."
"Well shit." A voice spoke behind them.
The turned around to see Owen standing there watching them. "Shit indeed." Lowery answered. "Cover is blown."
Darcy grew pale as she nodded, she stared up at Owen who watched her carefully. "Owen Grady."
"Dr. Lewis-Malcolm." He answered.
She scrunched her nose. "It's just Darcy, or Darcy Lewis, I dropped the Malcolm years ago."
"Why?" Owen asked her.
"Because of InGen." She replied as sighed as her tablet dinged. She looked down at it to see the files had uploaded. "If you're going to be on the Batman secret, you might as well help." She told him. She loaded the files up on the big screen. "These are the new candidates for the new head of security."
"Why am I on there?" Owen asked as he stepped up to stand in front of them. He read through his file and then looked back at her, she was reading through it too.
"F.R.I.D.A.Y. must've thought you were a good choice, Tony and Steve must've approved it." She replied.
Lowery snorted. "Alphas." He coughed.
Darcy reached over and pinched his arm. "If you can't say it loud enough for the class to hear you, don't say it at all."
Lowery glared at her. "I said Alphas."
She glared at him. "Well." She huffed.
"Do you two want to clue me into what you're talking about?" Owen asked as he watched them.
"She Alpha'd your beta." Lowery stated with a smiled as he sorted through the other files. "Jones won't do. He's scared of the Triceratops. I don't what it is. But scares the shit out of him."
She snorted and crossed him off the list. "I don't want them to be scared of them, I want them to care for the animals, both dinosaurs and the ones were going to create."
"Whoa, hold up. What are you creating?" Owen glared at her.
"Didn't you hear the announcement?" Lowery asked Owen. "Earth Revival. It's a project between the Masrani Group and Stark Foundation with the help of one Dr. Lewis-Malcolm." He gestured to Darcy who was busy reading through the files on her tablet. "To use the technology and research of Jurassic World and the funding and connections of SI to help bring back some of the species on the endangered or extinct lists."
"And do what with them?" Owen asked.
"We have another island close by that they can live on until they are healthy and old enough, then they'll go to their respective homes and government to sanctuaries to be protected. They will not be hunted or killed." Darcy looked up from her Tablet. "We came to Simon Masrani months before his death with this proposal when I hacked into your site after the announcement about the Indominus tickets being sold."
He stared at her grimly. "So you knew about the Indominus."
She stiffened and nodded. "He wouldn't let us do anything about it. Told us not to worry, that he had it handled." She set her tabled down and stared at Owen. "Life finds a way. And so did she, InGen used her as a weapon, Hoskins used your Raptors as weapons. And I want to make sure that whoever we find to take over the head of security knows that they are animals. They live and they breathe, they love, they mate, sleep, eat, just us humans do."
Owen stared at her before nodding, he turned to the screen and looked at it. "Smith, Scott, and Martinez might be good. I know them personally. You could put them through a trial run, see how they go."
"Why not you?" She asked him.
He shook his head. "I'm a Raptor handler, my duty is to Blue. Her alone."
"Have you thought about other Raptors?" Darcy asked him.
He stared at her in shock and he could see Lowery staring at her in shock. "You're kidding me right?"
"It's a thought, but Blue might feel better once we get her back with company, and it might take a while." She frowned. "And Owen, what if when we do get her back, she's to far gone, we have to worry about that too. I'm hoping for the best, because she seemed." She paused. "I can't judge her on a scale because I don't know how she normally is, but either way, she might need you more now."
"See, I can't be Head of security."
"But how badass would that be, HOS with a Raptor?" Darcy asked him with a smirk.
..
Darcy walked down to the labs with a coffee in her hands, her trusted talkie in the back of her pants and her tablet in the crook of her arm. The doors opened up to her and she took a deep breath and smiled. "I missed the lab air."
A lab tech nearby snorted. "You must be Darcy."
"Indeedy I am." She bounded down to him. "How's the minions?" She asked him.
He looked up and around to all the busy scientists and lab techs before looking down at her. "Busy, so I hear we're working on some near stuff."
"Not just dinos no." She nodded. "Tyler right?" She asked him. "Tyler McSmith, Princeton, second in your class. Only failed one class."
He arched a brow. "You know your stuff."
"You bet your ass I do." She sipped her coffee. "Some of the scientists will be working on the E.R project, the others will just keep working on Jurassic stuff."
"What about Wu?" Tyler asked. "He took off with some of the DNA for most of our stuff."
"We're tracking him down and anyone who is selling anything connected to the Park will be brought to justice. They won't get far." She assured him.
"Is it true, that we're trying for another batch of Raptors?" He asked her as he walked with her through the lab, she looked at each station and smiled at the scientists. She tried not to disturb their work as she noted what they were working on.
"Yea, for when we catch Blue, I think it'll be best that she have sisters again so she won't be lonely."
"But won't she eat them?" Tyler asked her.
Darcy hummed. "There's that possibility but if Owen can get her comfortable again with him, I don't see how we couldn't get her easy with them."
"You're a hopeful person." He told her with a smile. "You might do us good here."
She smiled back at him. "Thanks, I hope so." She laughed and walked to the entrance. "I'll check again soon."
