“you were there, weren’t you? on the first island.”
blue knew it was wrong to bring up the first park, as owen had told her multiple times to not talk about it. apparently it had been a tragic event and lots of people had died, though the girl didn’t really understand any of that. human emotions were new to her.

“this is stupid.”
the girl remarked as she walked beside her alpha father, eyeing the facility before them. it had been weeks since she had gotten any sort of check-up to see how she was doing and already blue was nervous. hell, it took her nearly an hour to finally get out of bed since she knew what was coming. and as she saw the building, she stopped in her tracks and shook her head, a clear indication she didn’t want to go in.
@hcndler
so holy crap you guys. i watched jurassic world today with my dad and my blue muse came out of no where omg. so like for a starter or something. i want to see if i can get her up and going again!
“What? Like I was just gonna up and abandon you?” He pats her on the shoulder and gives her a smile. “You’re family-well, now you are. We’ll get you clothes, a bed, if you’re interesting in going to school we can try to swing that. You’re a quick learner, you’ll get the hang of things.”
“You could have.” She replied, eyes suddenly looking wary of the hand touching her shoulder. It was not something Blue was used to. Yet. “School? No. I just want to sit here by the lake for the rest of my life. I’ve been stuck in labs and metal pens too much.”
“Nah…it’s too late for that. It’s probably all water logged now.I’m sure some fish’ll enjoy it,” Probably not, if anything it’s just another contaminant in the water. “I’ll just have to go out and buy another one.”
“Yeah—” Now that he thinks about it, she’s right. The term has a rather different connotation in the human world. “There would be some weird looks alright.”
She finished off her meat before putting the plate on the table, eyes turning to stare out at the water. Blue knew she sucked as a human, making mistake after mistake after mistake. Sometimes she wondered if she’d ever be able to get it right but, for the most part, she seriously doubted it.
Slowly she turned to look at her Alpha- father now, and smiled a little bit. “Thank you for taking me in.”
“It’s for enjoyment.” Owen was silent in thought as to how to make her truly understand that. After a moment, he finally came up with an example, and although it was nothing fantastic, it also had the potential to help her. “Why would you play-fight with your sisters if you’re not gonna hurt them? It’s about havin’ a good time.”
However, Blue was being moody with him and had turned her back in frustration. The man pursed his lips and furrowed his brow at her fit, and he decided placing a gentle hand upon the arm of her chair would be the best way of getting her back. “Don’t get sour with me. I’m not the one who told you to hop in and get wet.”
“It makes no sense.” She quickly retorted, though hearing his comparison to her play fighting with her sisters did help it make sense. That didn’t mean Blue was going to cheer up instantly. Raptors were moody creatures in their original form and their new. Bouncing back from being absolutely miserable was difficult for the creatures.
Eyes turned to glance over his shoulder just slightly, watching his expression and to see if he was looking. When she found his gaze the girl whipped her head away rather quickly. “I’m not sour. I just did something nice for nothing and now I’m cold. And uncomfortable.”
“Because I like it! I like to put it on burgers, hot dogs, all that stuff—god, now I‘m gonna have to buy more,” The bottle had almost been full too. Owen stares out at the water for a while before taking a bite out of his burger. Looks like he’ll have to buy more food in general now.
“Dad, Owen, whatever—” He shrugs. “If you wanna call me ‘Dad’, I’m okay with that. I’ll have to get used to it but I think it’ll be okay.”
“Do you want me to swim out there and get it? I will. But I don’t know how to swim.” She mused to him with a small shrug, turning her head away. Now Blue was actually starting to feel guilty.
“Fine. Dad it is. People might give weird looks if I keep calling you Alpha.”
“——No no no no no-don’t…!”
It’s too late, the mustard is already in the water before he can stop her. He gives her an exasperated look after watching the condiment land with a splash. “Blue! You can’t just do that! What if I had wanted to put more mustard on my burger?! What the hell!”
He takes a deep breath and tries not to get too worked up about it. She doesn’t know any better.
“I dunno, I guess I see you as a human?” He shrugs. “I mean —you’re still my beta, I know that much. But you’re…more like a daughter to me now?”
“Why would you want to put that disgusting stuff on there? If anything, I did you a favor.” The girl mused in a light voice, taking a seat on the lawn chair nearest her. Without a word her teeth ripped into the meat as if it was one of those pigs they trained her with.
Eyes looked upward at him, taking in his words with the smallest nod. “So do I call you dad from now on?”
“Yeah, good luck with that—no identification, no passport, I’m sure customs would have a field day with that.”
Owen starts plating the burgers with the usual toppings, giving her the option to put lettuce and tomato on hers if she wants. “There’s ketchup, mustard, and mayo if you wanna try putting some of that on there,” he says as he starts building his own burger. He takes a bite before addressing her question.
“I don’t know what your genetic make up is now, but if you wanna be labelled as one then sure.”
The girl looked at the mustard, grabbing it and pulling the top open before squirting a bit on her finger. She licked at the yellow paste and immediately winced. In fact, she almost looked like she was in pain. “Oh, this is so gross!” Blue even went as far as the take the entire container and, yes throw it in the lake.
Instead she settled for simply the patty, something that was most closer to what she would eat as a raptor. She took a huge chunk out of him before turning to him.
“What do you see me as?”
“I’m gonna give ya the talk anyway, ya know for protection an everything.” Owen felt like he should have reassured her that the when she was human breeding was different from when she was a raptor.
“Oh god.” She muttered, knowing that there was no real way to get out of this. Whenever Owen got his mind set on something, it tended to happen. “You know, I think I might just go lay down for a bit. Feeling a little tired.”
Owen starts shaking his head as soon as the words leave her mouth. He doesn’t little that idea at all. “Where would you go, Blue? You don’t know anything about the world outside of this island.”
He seriously hopes she’s joking because he’s not keen on following her if she leaves. All the same, it would pain him to see her leave if she really did do it. It would be like loosing a child, and that was something he couldn’t bear to think about.
“Look, we’ll sort this out. You don’t have to do anything rash.”
“I don’t know. I’ve heard Florida is closet so maybe I can go there.” She mused but already Blue knew that it was a bad idea. The girl had no idea how to survive on her own since Owen was pretty much the whole reason she was alive right now.
A sigh left the girl, one that was clearly defeated. But she said nothing else about running away. He would no doubt miss her too much and probably come running after her.
“Can I be labeled an actual human?”
He can’t argue with her there, they had done more than enough. Still, it as something they were going to have to live with, whether Blue liked it or not. The best thing for her to do now would be to show those scientists that they hadn’t changed her, if that was even possible.
“They think they own you,” He says as he puts the patties on the grill, watching as steam rose off the meat. “They still see you as an animal and not a person—to them, you’re just another asset. As long as they have direct access to you, I don’t think they’ll stop. Legal action might stop them, but even then that’s risky. That’d bring even more attention to you.”
She stared at him for a long while, her mind trying to come up with a plan. It wasn’t long until an idea came spewing from her mouth. “What if I just disappeared? Just went completely away? They would have no way to find me and they couldn’t conduct their stupid tests anymore.”
Even when she said it, Blue knew it was a dumb idea. The company had their ways of finding her and would do their best to make sure they did. But if it meant a little bit of freedom then she’d be happy to.
“Whoa, hey–chill. It was a joke. Guess you haven’t been told many,” he mused, casting a glance in the other’s direction. Her voice was just dripping with austerity. “So, uh, who is your father anyway? Maybe you can introduce us.” He offered with a small shrug, lips pressed together in a thin line. A subject change was undoubtedly required. “If you have a hood on your jacket, you should throw it over your head. Less attention will be drawn && well, uh, that look would probably suit you. That’s also a joke, by the way.” He tried keeping up with her pace, which wasn’t that difficult, with him being practically dragged && all. Not that he minded much. Hopefully if things went well enough, she’d enlighten him about how she ended up in the lab && discuss what exactly went down there. He wouldn’t get his hopes up, however. He took note of the way her eyes lit up; the way she resembled a child in a candy store. It was strangely adorable. “So, good plan, huh?” A smirk played on his lips, hands lifting to roll up his sleeves. “There should be a map around here somewhere. We can go anywhere you want && eat anything you want, ok?”
“I know what a joke is. I just never heard one like that. And it wasn’t very funny.” She replied with a small smile. “His name’s Owen Grady. He was our trainer.” Ana thought back to the short time that she actually knew Owen. It felt a lot longer than it actually was but that was because of their strong connection. Blue was always extremely close to him, even as a dinosaur.
His advice about wearing a hood was completely ignored which was probably unwise. Blue had bright green and blue hair which was rather noticeable and known by most of the staff of Jurassic World, at least those that worked in the labs. Lucky for the both of them, the staff that operated the food and rides had no idea about the illegal experimentation on the raptors or the other dinosaurs.
“We don’t need a map. I can smell everything.” She told him in an honest voice before taking a sharp turn through a large group of people to move towards one of the restaurants. The food smelled delicious and was probably far better than the crap that they gave her in the lab. “This way.”
Good, she agreed to his proposition. With how she was acting prior, the last thing he expected was for her to say yes. Nonetheless, he was rather excited (although that wasn’t evident on his features) to learn more about her. She seemed intriguing; as seen by how she reacted to him prying around in the lab. “All right, cool. Let’s get out of here.” With that being said, Zach wasted little time into heading out of the room, all the while occasionally peering over his shoulder to ensure that she was still tagging along with him. Now that she was being less hostile, she was pretty cute, actually. Had a nice smile, too. “–I’m Zach. && uh, Blue’s a color, not a name.” Perhaps some light teasing would make things less…tense. However, with her not being accustomed to such things, she may end up taking offense to his joke.
She moved to be by his side, head tilting a bit. “I was named for my coloration. If you have such a problem with my name, Zach, you can take it up with my father.” Her voice was stern and steady with no sign of teasing. Clearly, she didn’t get nor understood his joke. In fact, Blue simply thought that he had been making a statement about it.
“This way. It’s faster and we’re less likely to be seen.” Her had snatched onto his, dragging him down a smaller and dimly lit hallway. It was typically used to bring in subjects that were not meant to be seen, such as her. Blue lead them outside then took a sharp left to slip out the gate into the main part of the park. It dumped them right next to the T-Rex feeding.
And then she froze, eyes staring at the new world around her. Blue had always told herself that she’d make her way out here to the park instead of being stuck behind those walls but she had always been too scared. Until now. With a big grin, she spun around to try and take in all the sights. There were so many people and colors, joy on everyone’s face instead of the stern look of work. It was incredible.
“This is definitely worth it.”
“–What?” What was that supposed to mean? He still didn’t fully understand what she could possibly be inferring. No–not unless…that was when it clicked. Tongue swept over bottom lip, hands finally lowering && dropping at his sides. If she wanted to hurt him, or worse–kill him, she would’ve done something already. “Hey, come with me. Just for a little bit, ok? You look like you could use some fresh air.” He swallowed the lump in his throat, chestnut hues trained on her. He knew that it was probably a really bad idea, however, who was she hurting, exactly?
She stared at him, unsure if she could actually go with him. It didn’t sound like an absolutely horrible idea and it would be nice to see the park for herself instead of the pictures that flashed up on the screens of the lab. They had told her to stay here and not leave but Blue couldn’t resist the idea. Her face softened and she gave a gentle nod.
“Okay.”
Blue moved over to his side before looking back to the lab that was behind her. It was so confined and white and boring that she just couldn’t stand it anymore, especially knowing now that she would be outside where things were green. And then she looked back to the boy, giving him a small smile.
“I’m Blue.”
“——I know it’s not true, Blue! I just…I can’t think of anythin-” And just like that, the door is slammed in his face. He can hear her lock it and everything. A frustrated sound escapes him as he turns to exit the bungalow.
Maybe he just wasn’t cut out to be a parent.
It wasn’t until a couple hours until Blue finally emerged from her room, cautiously stepping into the rest of the bungalow. Snapping at her father like that was no exactly the best way to go about things but sometimes the girl just couldn’t help herself.
“Dad?”
“Because you have trust issues and you have no idea who I am?”
“...Sounds about right.”
