Own Nothing

Darcy woke up at six in the morning and sighed as she laid there in bed. She stared up at the ceiling with a frown. She couldn't fall back to sleep, her thoughts running a thousand miles an hour. She pulled the covers off of her and sat up in bed. She grabbed the ponytail holder from the side table and pulled her hair up and stood up from the bed. She walked over to her suitcase and grabbed a pair of clean running clothes. She changed in the bathroom while she peed and brushed her teeth. She tossed her sleeping clothes onto the bed and grabbed her shoes. She laced them up and did a quick stretch before grabbing her IPod. She walked out the front door, locking it, she stopped and looked at the ocean view with a smile. She hopped into her jeep and drove further into the Island, away from the house. When she got there, she parked the jeep and got out. She stretched a bit more as she put in her headphones and set out for a run.

She ran around the main strip, staying away the construction of the hotel where the workers were starting to work for the morning. She took a glance at it as she raced by but that was it. She pushed herself further as she ran through the T-Rex exhibit, and the other dinosaur exhibits near the front of the parks. No one really here this early at the park besides her and the occasional security guard that she sees. She starts running along the tree line towards the back of the main Park and towards the other enclosures. She looks over her right shoulder to see something in the tree line following her. She stopped in her tracks, breathing hard as she looked at the form. "Blue?" She took out an ear bud as she watched at the Raptor came running towards her. The Raptor chirped happily as she stared down at Darcy. "Blue, what are you doing?" Darcy stepped closer to her.

Blue chirped and tilted her head at Darcy and stepped to the side in the direction that Darcy was running. "You want to run?" Darcy watched as Blue nodded. "You're running with me?" Darcy breathed, this was unreal. The Raptor gave her an annoyed look. "Okay." Darcy tucked the ear bud into her shirt and kept the other one in her ear and nodded to Blue. "Let's go." She took off running again and the Raptor was soon was out running her. Blue looked back and saw she was going too fast, slowed and waited for Darcy and they both ran at the same pace. "Now, you're just being nice to your Mom." Darcy muttered as she kept up with Blue.

They ran for a good hour before Darcy had them head back to her jeep, she was exhausted and she never ran so had in her life. But she also never seen Blue so happy either. Blue stamped her feet in place as Darcy pulled a water bottle from the jeep to get a drink. "I have to go get ready for work girl." She told Blue. Blue chirped at her with annoyance. Darcy smiled at her and nodded. "I'll see you later today I'm sure. Go find Owen." The Raptor throw her head back and let out a call and race out to find Owen. Darcy watched with a smile as she got into her jeep and closed the door. She groaned as she stuck to the seats of the vehicle from her sweat and turned on the AC to full blast. She sighed as she relaxed against the seat and drove back to the cottage she's been using. She quickly showered and changed before grabbing a breakfast from the kitchen.

She walked into the control room with a cup of coffee and her hair in a messy bun. "Were you running with Blue earlier?" Lowery asked her as she took a seat next to him.

She hummed as she looked through the computer screens to see how the dinosaurs were doing. "Yes. She seems to enjoy it. She wanted to keep going." She smiled at him.

"I thought she was going to kill you." He stared at her in shock. "When I got in and watched the footage from the swing shift. What the hell, you're not actually Batman."

She snorted. "I think she just misses someone to run with. And I don't know if Owen is running the scent drills with her or not." She shrugged. "Tyler is trying to get the eggs ready as fast as he can. Funding has been coming in every day since I went public." She looked at her tablet. "It's insane that one little press conference and now suddenly everyone wants to give us money, wants to help with E.R." She let out a breath of amazement. "We have construction almost finished on the staff apartments-the old hotel-, new labs being built. The other Island is pretty much finished, the enclosures are pretty much finished except for a few. The labs are done there. We are just waiting on the construction to be done for the apartments for staff." She looked at Lowery. "Tony has good people, and he doesn't hire people who cut corners."

"And he put F.R.I.D.A.Y. everywhere?" Lowery asked her.

"Yea, for security." She replied. "She's in the hotel, but only acting at the security cameras, unless someone wanted to activate her. And more people don't know about her." She shrugged. "I didn't want to abuse her."

"Why the hell you were running with Blue?" Owen asked her. "She could've hurt you!" He stared down at her when he stormed into her office, slamming her door shut.

She didn't look up from her paper work as she went over some forms. "I see you talked to Lowery."

"No, one of my guys told me this morning and then Blue came to find me." He walked up to her desk. He put his hands on his hips. "What do you mean Lowery knows?"

"It was on the security tapes." She replied as she signed her signature and put it in her invoice folder. She picked up the next paper to read. "She enjoyed it, I think we have a running date tomorrow."

"Darcy. This isn't funny."

She smiled lightly.

"This isn't a damn joke." He slammed his hands on her desk and shook it. She looked up and stared at him shock. "What if she hurts you?"

"Okay. This isn't a joke to me." She kept her voice leveled. "She needs to bond and I don't know how she's doing that with you but if running does that, then I will run with her. And yes it's dangerous. I fucking know it is dangerous Owen." She stared up at him. "But she doesn't have sisters, she misses someone to run with, and I have no idea if you followed my suggestion about doing the scent drills." She set the paper down and capped her pen. "I know that she was your child first, but she's my child too now and I'd appreciate it if you didn't act like I was an idiot."

They continued to have a staring contest before Owen let off her desk. "She's a wild animal Darcy."

"Who should be treated with respect, and has bonded and imprinted on both of us." She shot back. "I stopped running and she stopped, she waited for me when she ran to far ahead. When we finished running she was so excited and I've never seen her so happy. And when I had to go back home to get ready for work, I told her to go find you and she did. She listens Owen. She's smart and she cares. So yes, when her enclosure is ready, she will go in. But she is smart and needs a routine of some kind, a pack. And until she gets one of her own kind, we're her pack."

"Darcy." He breathed, as if all of his hot air was suddenly knocked out of him.

"We're her human Raptor parents and yes, Lowery and everyone makes fun of us for it." She scratched her head. "But Ohana means family."

"Is that…" He stared at her. "Is that a Disney quote?"

She rolled her eyes. "If you're going to keep bothering me about our child." She reached out with her coffee cup. "Get me a cup of coffee."

"Is this what's it like having a wife?" He asked as he snatched her coffee cup and walked from the office. He was back a few minutes later. "Now the trick question is, decaf or regular?" He smirked at her.

Darcy looked at the mug and back at him. "I trust you not to poison me." She grabbed the mug and took a sip. "Besides. I only allow regular in this office." She looked back down at her paperwork.

As the weeks went on, every morning Darcy got up to run with Blue and it was great. Darcy and Blue ran all over the Island now, working up their stamina and bonding. They stopped when they made it to the waterfall and took a break. "Okay girl." Darcy sat down and breathed as she looked up at the Raptor. "Want to sit down?"

Blue chirped and folded her limbs and sat down next to Darcy, head curling up to lay on Darcy's stomach. Darcy smiled and laughed as she ran her hand along Blue's head. Blue's eyes watch her with interest. "I know you miss your sisters Blue. We're working on it girl. I promise." Darcy stated. She pulled her phone from her pocket and opened up the camera. She angled it right and smiled. "Smile for Dad, okay. We'll send him a picture." She took a selfie and sent it off to Owen and tucked it away as both of them listened to the falling water for ten minutes. Finally they got back up and Darcy stretched again and they took off again back to her jeep.

"Hey, you never responded to my text from this morning." Darcy stated when Owen walked into her office for their morning meeting.

"I never got one." He replied.

She arched a brow and frowned and dug her phone out from the pile of paperwork. "I sent you a picture of me and Blue resting during our break. She was laying on my stomach." She looked to see if maybe the message didn't send because of bad signal and froze. "Holy shit."

"What?" He walked around her desk and looked at the picture. "That's a good picture. You should send it to me."

"Shut up." She ordered. "It sent to my Dad."

He froze and looked at her. "Does he know about Blue?"

"He knows that there's Raptors here. Just not that I'm a mother to one." She dialed her Dad and held the phone to her ear. It went to Voicemail. She bit her lip and dialed again and again but got the same results. "Shit, shit, shit, Batman fucking shit." She dialed Sarah. "Sarah? Where's Dad?"

"Uh, your Dad? He got upset at a message he got this morning and packed his bags and booked a flight somewhere. I don't know where. He left in a hurry." Sarah stated. "What's wrong?"

"I think he's coming to the Island." She whispered. "That message was from me, but wasn't meant for him." She groaned and pinched the bridge of her nose. "Shit. Thanks Sarah." She hung up. "F.R.I.D.A.Y I need the flight manifest for a Dr. Ian Malcolm." She looked up at Owen, who was trying very hard not to look amused. "Is the construction done on the Hotel?"

"Dr. Ian Malcolm is currently in a layover in Las Vegas. Construction has been completed on the hotel and staff has been moving in to the apartments since last week." The AI stated. "Shall I inform Sir of Dr. Malcolm's journey?"

"Yeah. See if Tony can bump my Dad to first class if he isn't already there." She stated. "Can you prepare him a room for his stay here?"

"Yes Miss." The AI spoke and then paused for a moment. "Sir has called your Father and has directed him to a private airline. Where a jet is awaiting for him within a half hour. He will be flying in the next six hours."

"The power of money." Owen stated.

"Careful." Darcy warned him. "That money signs your paychecks." She whispered up at him. "Thank you F.R.I.D.A.Y. Tell Tony thanks too."

"Yes Miss."

Darcy took a sip of her coffee and sighed. "I guess this is what it takes to get Dad back on the Island. Me and a Raptor." She muttered. She picked up her phone and looked at the picture. "Make sure Blue is in her enclosure, I don't want to give him any ammo to drag me off this Island."

"You're a grown ass adult." He stated

Darcy turned and glared up at the man. "Says the man who yelled at me earlier this month."

"I'm your HOS, I'm supposed to be concern for your safety." He shot back.

"Is that all you are?" She asked him.

"What is that supposed to mean?" He asked her, looking down at her strangely.

She shook her head. "I don't know what we are Owen and the press junket was over three weeks ago." She tapped a pen on the desk. "We joke about the whole Raptor married thing and it is one thing when we have to be Alphas for Blue. But what is going on here?" She sighed. "Because I know you have my back and I don't want to screw this up, I trust you. But I also know that you didn't want this job." She looked up at him. "So tell me, Mr. Grady, what do you want?"

"Why is this always on me?" He asked her, he crossed his arms. "What I want, is for you to tell me what the hell you want." He smirked at her.

She sighed and stood up from her chair. "F.R.I.D.A.Y walls please."

"Yes Miss." The walls frosted over and Owen glanced over at them, but they looked almost like a real wall. No one could see through them. He looked back at Darcy and wondered what she was going to do next.

"What I want. Owen. Is for you to get your head out of your ass and ask me out on a date." She looked up at him sweetly, with a tad bit of laughter in her eyes. "What I want, is for you to actually tell me what's going on like I tell you. Maybe it's A Daddy McRaptor thing. I don't know." She shrugged. "What I want is to know is if this causal flirting and those few kisses we shared actually mean something or are you just in the moment kind of guy. Because if that's the case, I can just take the ferry to the mainland to get me a fix when I need one because I don't need to ruin my work place relationships just for tacky sex." She crossed her arms and gave him a stare, the laughter gone from her eyes. "Good enough for you Mr. Grady?"

"You want to date me?" He asked her.

"It's one thing to fake this kind of relationship Owen." She replied as she moved to sit back down and turn back to her paperwork. "We have to put up a united front for Blue and for the new Raptors when they come." She uncapped her pen. "But it's another thing when it's real and they can sense that. Blue is smart, smarter than most humans." She gave him a look.

"Fine. Would you like."

"No." She cut him off. "Not like this."

He stared at her. "Anyone tell you that you're bossy."

"You and Tony usually." She replied. "My Dad is going to be here in six hours, less now. I have shit ton of paperwork to do. I was actually supposed to go and check out the other Island today." She looked at tablet. "I leave in half hour. So I have things to do. And so do you." She looked at him. "So thank you Owen for this wonderful meeting. See you tomorrow." She gave him a thin smile. "I hope you're enjoying your new Apartment, I assigned you the first floor one personally, easy access in case you have to leave in a hurry."

"Thanks." He replied with a clip tone as he exited the office.

She sighed and shook her head. "Shit Batman." She muttered to herself. "The fuck you get yourself into." She ran her fingers through her hair and wiped the single tear from her eye.

When Dr. Ian Malcolm landed on the Island by helicopter, curtesy of one Tony Stark, he was greeted by the Head of Security Owen Grady. Who he's seen on the reports of Jurassic World and lately as his daughter's HOS. "So you're the lucky guy?"

Owen stiffened for a second and then nodded. "Yup."

"My daughter a handful?"

Owen sighed and looked at him. "You have no idea." He replied as they rode the elevator down. "I can take you to your room you'll be staying in. Darcy will be back as soon as she can. She had a schedule appointment at E.R to check to make sure the Island was in order before we can let staff on it. She's been waiting weeks to do it and she has to give the go ahead before they can start stocking the Island before we can start training everyone for it."

"She's hiding on it isn't it?" Ian asked.

"Coincidence." Owen replied as they exited the elevator. He walked them past the control room and down to the outside. He took him to a jeep and got in. "If you want, I can give you tour. Darcy said you wouldn't want one. But thought I'd try." He gave Ian a joking smile.

"You seem pretty close with Darcy." Ian stated as he got in the other side. "The way you two acted during the press junket."

Owen shrugged. "It was my Raptor that she took the picture with." He replied.

"You son of a bitch." Ian glared at him as Owen reversed and corrected the jeep. He drove them to the hotel. "That thing is a monster."

"Her name is Blue and I've trained and cared for her and her sisters since they hatched." Owen defended his Raptor. "She was the one who made Darcy her Alpha. She loves Darcy."

"What?" Ian felt like his heart going a thousand miles a minute.

"I think you should just relax in your room for a while and maybe later we can take a tour." Owen smiled at him as he pulled up to the hotel. "Front desk will see to your room. Darcy has you all set up."

"Listen here."

"No." Owen cut him off. "Darcy runs this Park, this Facility like it's her life. She loves every part of it. Blue is her child. She is trying to make sure everyone is taking care of. But she is trying extra hard, to make sure that this pack animal doesn't go crazy from not being a part of a pack." Owen stated firmly. "I disagree with Darcy on a lot of things, most of the times. Because I'm the Raptor Handler and HOS but she's normally right, 95% of the time." He stared at Ian. "I don't like that she drinks too much coffee it's unhealthy for someone to drink that much. But she's at the office from sun up to sometimes one to two in the morning making sure we're taking care of."

"It's dangerous here."

"She's 29 years old. Dr. Malcolm." Owen glared at him. "She's a grown ass adult. She's bossy as hell and woman makes still makes jokes about her being Batman. She knows that it's dangerous here. We all know. That's why we're here. It's our job."

Ian stared at the younger man for a few minutes in silence before smirking. "How long have you been in love with my daughter Mr. Grady?"

"What?" Owen stopped and blinked.

"That's what I thought." Ian opened the jeep door and got out. "Tell Darcy when she gets in, that I will speak with her, privately." He slammed the door shut and walked into the hotel.

Owen stared up the man as he walked into the hotel in shock. "What is with this family?"
