The Island
I was sitting at the meeting table, deep in thought about the mission we had just got back from.
The mission had gone terribly to put it short. Some maniac had released a bunch of monstrocities in the ocean and they randomly appeared to attack people, but we did find evidence that there would be a huge attack. They had been barely penetrated by bullets, electricity did nothing, and Wanda's abilities were the only thing that seemed to stop them other than brute strength.
I stared at the table in deep thought, maybe she could help...
Wanda looked at me, "What are you thinking brother?" she asked me, a few pairs of eyes turned to look at me.
"I was thinking about her," Wanda nodded her head in understanding.
"Who's her?" Tony asked with a smirk.
I rolled my eyes at him. "She was an experiment like us," I told him as I sipped the water that was on the table.
More eyes turned on us, "Is she still alive?" Steve asked, concerned.
I shrugged, "They took her and the others like her to some island to let them be free,"
Wanda nodded her head in agreement.
"Where's the island?"
I shrugged, I didn't know exactly where it was, "It was very nice there, the water was blue. It was very hot though,".
Wanda nodded her head, she'd gone there with me. "How big was the island?" Natasha asked.
"It... was not very large, but it was not small either," I told her.
"The flowers were pretty." Wanda added, she had liked the big red ones that were there.
"What did the plants look like? We could try to find the island." Bruce said, he looked eager.
I was unsure, "I do not think you want to find the island," I told them as Wanda started making replicas of the plants with her abilities.
"Why not? Don't you want to find her?" Clint asked, he looked a little incredulous.
"The island is very dangerous, and there is no where to really keep her," Wanda seemed to realize that too and the plants disappeared.
"Piet, there could be somewhere to keep her," she sounded hopeful.
"What is she?" Natasha asked, eyes turned to her, "You talk about her like she's not human." Natasha told us.
We nodded, "She was an experiment from the more... experimental part of HYDRA."
Natasha looked like she was scanning me with her eyes, "Then what is she?"
I sighed, "She is a dinosaur," I told her.
Tony laughed and so did Clint, when they noticed that neither Wanda or I were laughing, they realized I was serious.
Wanda made an image of her, a much smaller version about a foot tall. "She's a fucking t-rex?"

After almost two months of Bruce, JARVIS, Tony, Wanda and I trying to identify the island, Bruce was sure we'd found it.
There was an island in the Carribean that was purchased to a known HYDRA official, but didn't seem developed through satellites.
Wanda and I confirmed that the outline looked similiar and that there were rocky outlines on a few sides of the island.
Tony decided it was worth investigating, so he called everyone and bought a big houseboat that was more like a miniature cruise ship. So, we were all on the deck of the boat.
JARVIS was our captain, so we were the only ones on the ship. Everyone took turns cooking food.
I made Tony bring an armory though, I knew most of the animals didn't have handlers like Drakon. I also knew that a lot of them killed any agents who entered their enclosures when they were younger, and I seriously doubted that had changed.
That, and I wasn't sure if Drakon would remember me.
I'd told Wanda about it and she told me not to worry about it.
The boat was about three days from the island Bruce had found, so everyone decided to laze around the boat until then.
I was just worried about what would happen when we got there.

When we pulled up to the island, there were a few sea turtles crawling back into the water. I got out of the small boat we took and watched Steve pull it onto the shore.
I scanned the tree line, I didn't see any movement.
Wanda walked up beside me, "How long do you think it will take to find her?"
I scanned over again, "I do not know, we can go to the old facility for shelter if we get stuck overnight," I told her before saying the last part a bit louder.
The others walked up next to me, "We can't walk back in the dark?"
Wanda and I shook our heads, "They like to hunt at night," I told them before starting my walk into the forest, my goal was to find the lake.
I heard Natasha cock her pistol, I'd made everyone bring at least two guns with them. They followed me into the forest.
I found the lake a few hours later, there was nothing I could see there that was threatening. Well, there were a few Compsognathus, I called them comps. They were eating a dead velociraptor.
The others seemed wary of them, "Pietro, what the hell are those?" Clint asked.
"Wanda and I call them comps," I told him.
Wanda added, "Do not go alone when those are around, they are small, but easily overwhelm," she informed them.
The comps looked at us before running away with a loud alarm.
I tensed as they ran, "What's wrong Pietro?" Steve asked when my posture changed.
"We need to leave the area," I told him before starting to walk away from the lake.
"Why?" Tony asked.
I continued walking, the others followed, "Something bigger than them will come to investigate. I do not want to be there when it does," I told them.
.

We were not successful in escaping the area fast enough. As soon as I had finished my sentence, a large form broke through the tree line surrounding the lake.
It was the last thing I wanted to see, "RUN!" I yelled at them as it's eyes found us.
Everyone else seemed to already have the same idea.
The spinosaurus had its arms extended forward as it charged at us.
I let loose two shots with my pistol, both landed in its chest. It was unfazed.
I started towards the others, pushing those who lagged behind (AKA Tony and Clint, more so Tony).
I heard a second pair of loud, thundering steps coming from the side, please don't let it be another spinosaurus. I don't think we could handle that right now.
I looked over, it was Drakon.
She charged the spinosaurus, striking it head first in the side, bowling it over. It rolled a few times before quickly getting back to it's feet as Drakon roared at it, moving between the larger dinosaur and us.
"Pietro, is that what we're looking for?" Clint asked as he jogged over to my side.
I nodded my head with a grin as Drakon roared at the spinosaurus once more.
It seemed to get the message and stalked off into the brush. She watched it go, growling the entire time.
I put my fingers in my mouth and whistled loudly, that got her attention. Drakon turned around and looked down at me with a chuff deep in her throat.
She lowered her face closer to me and I put a hand on her snout, "This is Drakon," I informed the group.
Wanda walked over and pet her nose as well.
"What the hell speedy?" I heard Tony ask.
I only smirked up at Drakon, she bore her teeth back in return.
We're still working on the smiling thing then...
