Own Nothing

"I told you that I didn't want to see you tonight." Darcy stated as she stared at her mother.

"No." Her mother started as she arched her eyebrow at her daughter. Elizabeth Lewis looked like Darcy only thirty years older. Small wrinkles around the corners of her light blue eyes that she covered with make-up. "You told your assistant that you didn't want to see me."

"Take a hint." Darcy replied. "I didn't ask you to come here."

"I heard that you were engaged." Elizabeth stated. "I wanted to meet this man."

Darcy shifted in her seat and adjusted her arm sling. "Did you hear that from one of your spies?" She watched as her Mother watched her, she couldn't believe her Mother sometimes. She let out a small snort and rolled her eyes as she leaned back in her office chair. "F.R.I.D.A.Y Banshee protocol please."

"Yes Miss." A low hum sounded through the room before it turned into a screech, like a mosquito ringtone. It annoyed Darcy but she doubted her Mother could hear it because she didn't react at all to it. Well, not until her phone sparked and hissed. A beep sounded on Darcy's computer and she glanced at it and frowned, a small file had downloaded, it was a few minutes long, just enough for the conversation they were having. There were also pictures of her office.

"I can't believe that after all of this time you are still pulling this." Darcy sighed as she turned back to her Mother. "This isn't one of your sessions, you have no right to record me and you have no right to spy on me like I'm some criminal that you're profiling for a case. Do I make myself clear?"

Elizabeth picked up her phone and stared at it. "That was unnecessary Darcy." She set the phone on the table. "You could've just told me to put it away."

"Like you could've told me that you got remarried, or that you were coming to visit. Or that you were bringing Kevin, or that you implanted two spies on my Island so you can keep track of me under the guise of them working for other governments." Darcy tapped her fingers on her desk. "You know when I moved away to live with Dad, I wanted to move away from this bullshit. And I thought that maybe I thought we moved pass this when I went to Culver."

"I think drudging up the past, Darcy." Elizabeth tried to start but Darcy cut her off.

"That's exactly what you're doing. I am happy here." Darcy stood up. "You will rest, but after tomorrow, you will leave."

Elizabeth stood up and sighed. "I just wanted to see you and meet this new man in your life."

"I have two Islands to run. You know that degree that you said that I would never put to use, I actually am." Darcy stated. "F.R.I.D.A.Y will have security waiting for you when you get downstairs. Scent drills will start in an hour and no civilians are allowed outside after dark."

"Darcy." Elizabeth started, her voice stern. She stared at her daughter.

"I hope you get a good night sleep, I'll have someone take you on a tour in the morning. Good night." Darcy stared back at her. "When I'm ready to see you again, I'll send for you." She set back down at her desk and turned on her tablet and ignored her Mother as she turned and left.

"God, you were a cold hearted bitch." Owen stated as he and Darcy set down to dinner after they fed the Raptor babies. "That's hot." He smirked at her. "Did F.R.I.D.A.Y record it? The beat down?"

She shrugged as she took a bite of her steak. "Probably, I can pull it up on the tablet." She looked down at the two Raptors sleeping on her toes. "She just makes me so damn angry."

"Hey." He reached over and grabbed her hand. "At least you don't have to meet my parents."

She gave him a funny look. "You just know the sweetest things to say." She squeezed his hand. "So you leaving the kiddos with me tonight and going out?"

"Yeah, taking the teenagers out with Blue." He stated as he took a bite out of his broccoli. "They're getting better with commands, this will be they're first time out."

She nodded and sighed as she looked down at her arm. "I wish I can go running again."

"Not until the doc says it's okay." Owen smirked as he stood up and took his plate to the sink to wash it off. "It's only been a day Darcy."

"Because I was an idiot." She groaned as she wiggled her toes under the Raptors. She felt one of the girls nip at her toes, she smiled as she looked down at them. "Yeah, I didn't know I was going to have my hands full so soon."

Owen watched her from the sink with amusement. "Do you do this with your scientists?"

Darcy smiled and laughed as she finished her plate and handled it to him. She bent down and scooped up the two Raptors in her good hand and stood up to walk to the love seat in the connecting leaving room. "Oh yeah." She winked at him. "I can be silly at times." She plopped down and settled the Raptors on her chest so they could snuggle with her.

"Cold hearted bitch and a silly Raptor Mom." Owen hummed and he walked over and kissed her on the lips and ran a finger each Raptor's back. "I like this getting to know thing we're doing."

She rolled her eyes at him. "Go take care of our older daughters' Sir." She waved him off. "I have a conference call with Tony and Pepper I have to make in ten minutes."

"Okay, but when I get back." He leaned down for another kiss. "Let's practice for the honeymoon." He winked at her.

"We don't even have a date set yet. Dork." She muttered and held him there for a longer kiss before pushing him away.

Darcy was walking around the Park with Lowery during lunch on his day off the next day when she saw Kevin walking towards them. "Well there goes my day." She muttered. She gave Lowery a look. "Go on without me, order me the biggest margarita in five minutes if I'm there myself with extra tequila."

"You're still working." Lowery gave her a stern look. "I'm not going to substitute your coffee for booze, that's like making the problem worse."

"I just feel." Darcy stopped and gave him an even stare. "That you don't want me to be in a better state of mind. I can't have coffee, I can't have alcohol, I can't have an Island where people I don't like don't come to." She stopped when Kevin was a few feet closer. "Speak of the devil."

"Hi Darcy." Kevin gave her the nicest smile that Lowery had ever seen. He was a good looking guy, for a FBI agent, reminded him of a mixture of Dr. Sweets from Bones and Dr. Reid from Criminal minds. But the body closer to Morgan. "You look great, Island life seems to bring out the life in you." He shook hands with Lowery and quickly introduced himself. "So what happened to your hand?"

"Oh." Darcy looked down at her dark blue cast in her sling and frowned. "I was just so excited about your unscheduled visit that I slammed my hand in between a car door." She ignored Lowery's snort as she looked Kevin dead in the eye. "It's amazing how such small things can throw a wrench into other people's lives like that."

Kevin blushed and sighed. "Yeah, it was your Mother's idea. I was going to take my vacation days during charity work in Paris."

"Wow." Lowery broke into the conversation. "On that note. I'm going to go start our lunch orders, Darcy." He gave her a look. "See you there in five?"

"Yeah, five." Darcy nodded and watched him leave. She snorted and gave Kevin a look. "Paris? Really? You can't even speak French and you expect me believe that you are going to go help out in Paris for your vacation?"

Kevin shrugged. "Always the good guy." He gave her a smile. "Rosetta Stone is the best."

She rolled her eyes. "What do you want Kevin?"

"I heard that you were getting married, congratulations." His smile dropped. "I am sorry that it's to the wrong man though."

"It's not." She replied. "If it were you, it would be." She blinked slowly. "Listen, if you came all the way here to tell me that you want me back. Just say it. But I love him. This is my home now. I'm not leaving it."

Kevin stared at her for a minute, studying her in a way. "You think that you know him."

She shook her head. "No. He doesn't know me either. We know what we tell each other and that's fine." She side stepped him to go get food but he stepped in front of her. "I'm hungry now, so move Kevin."

"Darcy, there's more to Owen Grady then this park."

"God, I hope so." She rolled her eyes again. "Or else his qualifications were highly exaggerated. Now move please." When he didn't move, she groaned in frustration and grabbed his wrist with her good hand and twisted it. He cried out, not expecting her to do something like that in the first place. She twisted it behind his back and kicked the back of his knee. "Like I told Mother, relax, have fun. Because tomorrow, you're going home. And I will never see you again on my Islands, either of them." She let go of him and walked off to get something to eat.

She walked into Margarita Ville and sat down as the staff and her workers all stared at her in shock. "What?" she asked Lowery.

"You're Batman." He whispered in amazement.

She snorted in amusement. "Yeah, I know that." She took a sip of her water as their appetizer came.

"But you just kicked his ass!" Lowery stated loudly and a few people clapped around the place.

Darcy blushed and glared at the people. "Yes, fine. I know. It's not very professional, but I don't like it when others try to get in my face." she scrunched her nose up. "God, he always did that, though he knew more than me, he thought I was an idiot." She shook her head.

Lowery held up his glass of water to clink it, she matched his and they clinked their classes together. "You make one hell of a Batman Boss lady." He cheered.

"Uh, what the hell is this?" Darcy asked F.R.I.D.A.Y about the file sitting on the floor in front of her office door when she came back from lunch.

"Mr. Ramon dropped it off for you."

"Damn it Kevin." Darcy flipped him the bird towards the hotel, was he even in the hotel right now. Was he somewhere else? She opened her office door and stepped over the file and walked into her office and ignored the file. She sat down at her desk with a cup of tea and a small smile because just an hour ago, the ferry with her Mother and Kevin took off and they were both on it and she never felt more alive in her life. She was happier than her graduation day, happier than getting three Raptors, happier than getting two new Islands because she was never going to see those god awful people again.

She took a sip of her tea and settled into her desk and opened up her tablet and got to work. She started with looking into repairs of all of the enclosures because the rains were coming in from a storm from a hurricane hitting a few of the Islands up north of them. Luckily, they were below the belt line for that. Darcy sighed and scratched her head as she placed an order for some parts to be brought in for both Islands. Her phone rang and on the second ring she picked it up. "Lewis." She flicked through her notes as she listened to the voice. "Hey Agent Skye, Are you guys coming back to the Island?" Darcy sat back in her chair. "Yeah, by the end of the week. Yeah I can meet you guys when you touch down. Just send me the details." She smiled. "Tell Phil I said hi." She laughed. "Okay, see you soon." She hung up the phone and looked up to see Taylor standing over the file.

"You have a file in your doorway."

"Kevin gave it to me." Darcy muttered as she went back to her tablet.

"Oh, let a cat bringing in a dead bird." Taylor stated as she picked it up and looked over it. "It's Owen's."

"Figures." Darcy whispered. "He tried to tell me that I didn't know him well enough."

"That seems to be a pattern." Taylor stated as she walked over to the couch and sat down. "But at least you haven't picked a date, so it's like a long engagement. You can get to know each other." She set the file on her lap. "Are you going to read it?"

Darcy looked at her friend. "What's in there that Owen can't tell me already?"

"What he doesn't want to tell you?" Taylor answered truthfully. Her fingers played with the edges.

"Taylor." Darcy started. "This relationship with Owen, it isn't a regular one, where we met and went on dates and fell in love over time. It was adrenaline and kind of pushed together and strange flirting and oh hey I 'Alpha'd your Beta', and all that."

"Yeah, I heard about that." Taylor laughed. "Then your 'Alpha'd the Alpha'."

"Well." Darcy smirked. "You know." She wiggled her eyebrows. "But still, now that it's not running on high, we can slow down and get to know each other. And so far it's been great, and I'm not saying that maybe there won't be a day that it won't be. But I want there to more than just us being Raptor parents."

"And you don't think you're going to find it in here?" Taylor held up the file.

Darcy shook her head. "I think I'll find out everything I need to know about Owen in there. But where is the fun in finding out for myself if I do that? I could give him one of me and then its homework. Will there be a quiz later?" She waved her hand at the idea. "Kevin is an ass."

"He still loves you." Taylor replied. "Like a lot."

"I want their emails, social media, phone calls, text, everything watched. I want to keep what they saw here on lock down. Get F.R.I.D.A.Y on it." Darcy stated.

"I already did." Taylor stated. "I wasn't going to let them on this Island without the Mystique Protocol into effect."

"You're my favorite, don't tell your Brother." Darcy smiled at her.

Taylor beamed at her as she stood up. She set the file on her desk. "Depends, which one?" She winked at her with a laugh before walking out of the office.

"How are my girls?" Darcy asked as she walked along the fence of the big Raptor enclosure. Blue and the three other one were in the bigger one for over a few days now. They were happier at all the room. Blue came up to the fence and stared down at her confused. "Yeah, I hurt myself." She stated and watched as Blue chirped at her. Blue turned and let out a cry and called the other Raptors. Darcy steadied her heart, she was injured and she didn't want to show weakness in front of her pack. She was the Alpha, she needed to be strong. The other three, Canary, Robin and Arrow appeared and stared down at her confused. They all chirped at her as they leaned down to get a better look at her head. "I hurt myself." She repeated.

Blue gave her a look that made Darcy wondered that if she wasn't careful if she might challenge her for her status but her eyes changed and she chirped again. She nudge Darcy's other hand through the fence, careful not to get shocked and wanted to be touched. Darcy smiled and ran her hand over Blue's head. "We got two new baby Raptors for you Blue. Two new sisters for you pack. It'll be a while before they can be introduced, they need to be bigger, Owen says. But we have two more." Blue chirped in some sort of understanding. The other three chirped and wanted to be touched.

The other three, they were Darcy's pack, they allowed Owen to train them because they follow Blue who is their sister. But Darcy was their Alpha, they imprinted on her and her alone. They trusted Owen, he showed them kindness and love where Wu had never showed them any. And that is important to a creature who can remember most of their lifespan. "I've missed you guys. Once I'm well again, we'll go running." She smiled at them. "I promise. Now, go play." They gave her a few last chirps before running off to go play.

When Darcy came back home later Owen had a small dinner made on the table. Darcy froze when she saw the file that she left on the table, she meant to pick it up before he got home, but she forgot it. "Hey." She walked into the kitchen.

"If you wanted to know something, I can tell you it." He stated as he opened a bottle of beer.

"I haven't even opened it." She stated as she glared at him. "Fucking Kevin left it at my doorstep of my office for me to find. Taylor made me take it home so you would know about it. I was all for shredding the damn thing."

"Why?" He asked her, watching her as their Raptor ate their meat dinner.

"Because of what you just said." She replied as she stepped closer. "If I wanted to know, I will ask you. You will tell me things when you want me to know them. What's important to you, what's important to us. What matters. This." She poked the file on the table. "This is going to tell me about you. Owen Grady born, whenever. If you had a Juvie record, which BTDubs, I totally did, don't let this façade full you." She pointed with her good hand to her face. "I was super jealous of Kelly because of her seeing Dinosaurs so I acted out. I hotwired cars and I hacked computers and I stole some shit. I'm a bad cannoli."

He was smirking at her now behind his beer bottle. "I don't see it."

She walked over to him and stood in front of him. "I tell you so much about me, in little spurts, and I know you see me for what I am and there's still so much you don't know. That's the beauty of getting to know someone. So no, I didn't read your file. I want to know you from you. All I know from you is what's in front of me. And that this ring is the only thing from your Mom."

He sighed and set his beer down on the counter and wrapped his arms around her, careful not to hurt her hand. "My Dad left when I was a kid, my Mom died of cancer when I was in the Navy." His voice was steady but she could tell this was hard for him. "I was married once before."

"Really?" Darcy arched her eyebrow at him.

He nodded as he looked down at her. "Fresh out of high school, we were sweethearts, but it only lasted two years."

"What happened?" Darcy asked.

"She was hit by a drunk driver." He whispered. "I was in boot camp during the time and she was coming home from visiting my Mom in the hospital. Guy hit her and he survived, he's serving time now. It was his second offense."

"Owen, I'm sorry."

He squeezed her lightly and kissed her on the top of her head. "I don't have a Juvie record, but I did get in trouble once in the Navy, but I was put in the Brigg for disorderly conduct."

"God, so I'm the bad one." Darcy groaned into his chest. The Raptors chirped at their feet.

He laughed and smirked down at her. "Yup, you're the bad one, my bad girl." He winked at her.
