The characters and the plots belong to Dolphinheart99, who wrote the entire original story, and to their respective owners. I got authorization from Dolphinheart99 to take some elements of her stories. I therefore own nothing, minus the names of my OCs. And for anyone wondering why, I explicitely asked for Dolphinheart99's consent to pick up elements of her stories and adapt them with mine, as I did with DieHardBrendan with his.
BTW : I sign this fanfic to the brave defenders of Ukraine. Glory to Ukraine, glory to heroes.
Valentina was sitting in the back of Wu's car as Wu himself drove it to the hybrids' definite paddock. Iris and Ivy indeed reached the size of a Utahraptor, which forced Wu and Hamada to transfer the two of them to their new paddock since it was finished anyways. The paddock itself was four times as big as Roberta's and had a huge trench all around it, plus an observation room for staffers to keep an eye on the rather rowdy hybrids. Wu also saw the observation room had bulletproof glass, however the hybrids were very docile and obedient as they stayed very calm during their transfer while Ava, knowing he needed to keep Valentina's secret, made sure no one was snooping around.
Wu parked the car as they arrived at their destination before he got out and helped Valentina out of her seat. Wu held her hand as they walked towards the paddock, since the overexcited Valentina was jumping back and forth. The two of them then came through the automated glass door before these closed behind them. The halls of the observation room featured a long window showing the inside of the paddock like Paddock 9 did. Valentina then saw her uncle and cousin chatting with Ava and workers about the paddock and the two dinosaurs. Valentina then ran to her uncle, who held her up in the air after scooping her in his arms while Ava and Owen watched the paddock. Owen chuckled as his niece giggled in delight while kicking her legs nowhere in particular.
"How's the paddock guys?" Wu politely asked Ava and Owen.
"Well, if we keep on that way, we'll be ready in two months at worst and five weeks at best." Ava reported. "So, what are you here for?"
"Checking on the definite paddock. Making sure we're ready for the grand opening." Wu replied.
Suddenly, Wu felt his phone vibrating. Taking it up, the scientist turned it on and saw a text before smirking. Owen and Ava wondered what was happening while Ava suspected it had something to do with the two hybrids.
"It's here. The truck delivering Iris and Ivy." Wu explained.
Just then, Ava left the observation room and went to the truck containing the two hybrids. The M4A1-armed teenager then whistled, catching the workers' attention as Iris, being a very claustrophobic dinosaur, kept roaring and banging onto the inside of the trailer. Ava then motioned the truck driver to carefully drive backwards before stopping once the trailer of the truck was well-positioned into the paddock. Ava then nodded to a female worker holding a remote, prompting the gal to push the button. Iris and Ivy, the well-behaved hybrid, then ran out of the trailer and into the paddock before Iris angrily roared at Ava, her father and Wu.
"She says you awe cwazy! She wants to know why you put hew in youw box." Valentina translated.
"Tell her we had to, since it's the only way to carry her into her new home." Ava told her cousin.
But before Iris could roar, Ivy chirped in understanding while Iris glared at the teenager for sticking the two of them in an iron box. But Owen and Wu preferred not to take a chance at an argument. As the two hybrids dashed into their paddock, they saw how roomy and confortable it was. Ava arrived and saw the two hybrids rolling into the grass while Owen put his niece, allowing the latter to play with the two dinosaurs.
"Well, we did a good job at the paddock design phase." Ava told.
"Yeah, but we heard wiring system still has to be installed. And some cameras still need to be installed." a worker insisted.
"Understand." Wu replied as his phone vibrated again. Picking up his phone, Wu answered, "Yes... What?... The Ceratosauruses hatched?... Good... I'll be here in seven minutes." Wu then put his phone in his pocket before replying, "Guys, I gotta go to the lab. The two Ceratosauruses have hatched and I'll have to monitor their health before transfeering them to their handler."
"Don't worry. I'll stay here." Ava replied.
Suddenly, Owen caught his vibrating phone and replied, "Yes? Ah Barry, what do you need?"
Barry then answered, "Owen. You need to come at our paddock. Delta and Echo are fighting again."
"I'll be here. Thanks for the info." Owen said as he hung his phone up.
Suddenly, Ava also replied on his phone, "Yeah?... What?... Need me to oversee Valentina's adaptation to her new working room?... Good. I'm already here."
"I guess I will have to babysit Valentina. Unless I call Claire." Ava told.
Ava knew it was a risk worth taking since her father, Wu and Barry would be very busy with their daily task.
"You want me to do what?" Claire asked as soon as she arrived at the paddock.
Ava knew Claire was the park operations manager, meaning she oversaw the whole park. But the teen and her friends still had to rehease for the school's Christmas singing contest, so they wouldn't be able to do the task either. So they called Claire to keep an eye on Valentina, who was playing with the two hybrids.
"Claire, it's only be for this time to help me out. Just for Wu and Dad to come back." Ava told Claire.
"Fine. But just for the time being." Claire told the teenager.
With that, Ava gave Claire Valentina's pink backpack containing a new change of clothes before she temporarily left the room. Claire stayed behind, visibly annoyed since she knew taking care of Valentina would be a difficult job. But Claire looked through the window before spotting Valentina playing with the two hybrids named Iris and Ivy. But Claire thought of hitting two birds with the same stone by bringing Valentina with her. With that in mind, Claire opened the doorway to the interior of the paddock, prompting the two hybrids and Valentina to look at the manager.
"Hey, Valentina. I was thinking of bringing you with me. My name's Claire Dearing by the way." Claire politely said.
"Hi, Ms. Deawing. May I bwing Ivy and Iwis with me?" Valentina asked.
"Unfortunately not. But you must understand I have work to do, hence the fact I'm bringing you with me." Claire said.
"I am going to go with Ms. Deawing. You wiww have to stay hewe." Valentina told the two hybrids.
A surprised Claire saw the two animals roaring in agreement. Remembering what Wu and the others told her, Claire thought of how Valentina could understand animals. But Claire picked her phone and answered to her contact, who was a woman named Zara Young. Zara told her boss the Verizon representatives were here, reminding Claire Verizon Wireless was sponsoring the two hybrids. Claire then told her assistant to inform the sponsors to wait before hanging up.
"You will come with me." Claire politely said Valentina.
"Whewe awe we going?" the toddler asked.
"The meeting room. I have important guests to meet." Claire informed.
Valentina nodded before turning to the two hybrids, "Iwis, Ivy stay hewe. I'll be wight back."
The two Indominus Rexes chirped at her while Claire picked Valentina up. The Operations Manager then left the enclosure while the two hybrids lied down for some well-earned rest, knowing they had to be patient. The two dinosaurs then saw Claire close the door to their paddock before leaving.
After driving to the Innovation Center, Claire was standing in an elevator alongside Valentina. Claire had time to change Valentina's attire to a pin t-shirt with Valentina's favorite pink skirt plus the toddler's favorite pink sneakers. But Claire also found a note from Owen instructing her not to disguise Valentina due to the latter's stubborn refusal to be disguised as a boy. Claire agreed with the note, since it also read that Valentina was raised by her parents with the belief that girls must wear girly clothing while Ava had no trouble dressing like a boy. Valentina was holding a brick of grape juice in her right hand while holding Claire's hand with the left one.
Claire then told herself, "Hal Osterly, vice-president... Jim Drucker, bad hair... Erica Brand, deserves better... Hal, Jim, Erica. Hal, Jim, Erica. And I'm Claire." Claire sighed and annoyingly looked at her watch. "Three minutes late."
Valentina decided to be a well-behaved toddler for the time being as she saw Claire nervously sighing. Claire then nervously smiled as the elevator doors opened.
"Welcome to Jurassic World." Claire said to herself.
Once leaving the elevator, Valentina and Claire towards the Hammond Creation Lab. There, the scientists were busy working onto the cloning of eggs and studies of DNA structures. Valentina was awestruck at the scientists' work while the visitors ooked at the scenes in awe. Claire was leading a group of visitors comprising Hal Osterly, Jim Drucker and Erica Brand. Valentina was walking next to Claire since Zara was too busy gathering files for Claire.
"While year-over-year revenue keeps improving, operating costs are higher than ever. Our shareholders have been patient but, let's be honest, no one's impressed by a dinosaur anymore. Back in 1993, de-extinction was kind of magic. Nowadays, kids and teens look at a Stegosaurus like an elephant in a zoo. But that means animal development is more and more prevalent. More than ever actually." Claire explained the three investors.
They entered to a staff-only laboratory. Valentina knew she was lucky enough since she didn't cause trouble, hence Wu and the other staffers allowing the toddler to get inside the lab. But as they went inside the lab, the elevator doors opened and revealed Ava and her friends coming inside the center before walking to a workspace they saved for them.
"Our DNA excavators find new species every year. But our customers want bigger, louder and more teeth. In other words, scarier animals." Claire concluded as the investors wanted to know more. "We learned more in a single decade thanks to the powers of genetics than in a decade by digging up bones. I know everyone wants to be thrilled and proud of it."
Claire then revealed a double helix structure on a giant touch screen, catching Dr. Wu's attention. The scientist then explained, "Let me introduce you our first hybrid. Indominus rex. And we didn't breed them. We engineered them. They'll be slightly bigger than the T-Rex once grown up. And they're waiting for you in their paddock.
The group then walked to Wu's car and Claire's SUV before driving to Paddock 11, where the two cars stopped. Once they arrived, Wu, Claire and Valentina led Brand, Osterly and Drucker to the observation room, where Claire allowed Valentina to get into the paddock. Just as Valentina went to the paddock, Iris and Ivy woke up and showed up in front of the investors. The three of them now understood why Wu said the animal was engineered.
"Are they... tamed?" Osterly asked.
"To cut a long story short, a girl named Ava had to bring her cousin, ie the little girl in the paddock, in the lab. And these animals imprinted on Valentina by accident." Wu explained.
While Valentina fed the two carnivores with grape juice, Drucker asked, "Are you serious? And how can she do it?"
Seeing Ivy then Iris spit the liquid before drinking water from the lake, Claire explained, "As to how, we cannot explain right now. But yes, we are serious. And believe it or not, we have made IQ tests with them. And they proved capable of doing maths."
Osterly asked in disbelief, "What? Impossible!"
Wu then motioned the two animals what was the sum of four plus squared seven via sign language. To everyone's surprise, the two hybrids wrote fifty-three on the wall in front of them. Osterly, Brand and Drucker then began muttering something, causing Claire and Wu to look nervously in fear of teh trio not sponsoring the animals.
"Mrs. Dearing, Dr. Wu. We sponsor these animals." Osterly stated in awe.
Claire and Wu then let out a sigh of relief before cheering alongside the workers, knowing everything was going fine. Just then, Owen and Ava were arriving and understood the hybris were now sponsored by Verizon Wireless, knowing the attendance of the park, and therefore their paycheck would raise. Just then, Claire got a phone call from Masrani.
"Hi, Mr. Masrani. Good news. Verizon Wireless has sponsored Paddock 11." Claire informed.
"Good to hear. And how's our visitors' favorite little girl?" Masrani asked.
"She's doing well. But I also know we have some job to do at the paddock." Claire informed.
Just as Masrani hung up, Claire thought of the small amount of time she had spent with her family, Karen Mitchell and Ben Duncan as well as their sons Gray and Zach. But Claire didn't see them for six or seven years, so she was worried of how they would welcome her. But the operations manager told the toddler about the family she never saw. Owen then entered in the paddock to give his niece a toothbrush, some toothpaste and some food for her. Valentina then pleeded for her uncle to stay with her, which Owen did while the others went back home.
While Owen had sent a message to his daughter, Claire got a text from her sister Karen informing her Zach and Gray would come to Jurassic World. Meanwhile, Ava was preparing a family legacy M1 Garand rifle before preparing for anything that could happen in the park, since Ava helped out when she finished her homework. And Ava oversaw the two animals while still holding her M4A1 carbine after slinging her M1 Garand. But what bothered Ava was the fact that Claire's nephews were coming to Jurassic World as visitors. And this bothered Ava before she wasn't interested in any romantic relationship.
