After getting close to the land where the Apatosaurus' and Triceratops reside, I stopped my car and walked out with my dog behind me. I turned the engine off and walked out of the car following my dog out into the land. I smile widely feeling the heat of Isla Nublar, I sigh loudly. I saw one of the Apatosaurus walking towards me. I smile standing still, I knew it wouldn't hurt me. When it stopped, it leaned down towards me sniffing me.

I laughed a little bit patting it's nose, it purred and walked off. Smiling, I look at it as it walks off. Yes, she was female and she was ready to pop. I smile widely, I couldn't wait. I could hear static from my radio and I blink lightly. I grab my radio and talk into it after pressing the button.

"Go for Ashly." I use my nickname, knowing who was calling.

"Ms. Petrelli you know better than to use that nickname, please refrain from using it." I heard my boss tell me. I roll my eyes.

"Don't push it, Claire, I have freedom of speech, y'know? Now what do you want?" I asked quite rudely.

"Is there any possible chance you can keep an eye on my nephews when they show up later today?" Claire questions me, and I sigh.

"You know I'd love too." I told her softly. "But unfortunately, one of the Apatosaurus' is about to give birth and I have to make sure she's comfortable. I know you think they're just research and stuff, but to me - these are wonderful animals." I continue and shut off my radio before she could protest.

My wolf-mix barked three times again, I smile and pat her head. "Okay, I know you're getting excited to see Owen, Apple, slow down." I laugh again and we both walk to the car but before I made it there, I gasp when I feel a nudge. I turn around seeing a baby triceratops. I smile and kneel down to it and start patting it's head. "I'll be back in a little bit okay, then I'll play with you." The baby made a sound running off, almost happy. I smile and walk into my jeep and start it up.

I began driving off, feeling the wind against my face.

"Hal Osterly, vice-president... Jim Drucker, bad hair... Erica Brand, deserves better... Hal, Jim, Erica. Hal, Jim, Erica. And I am Claire." Claire was speaking to herself in the elevator trying to memorize her lines for the people she's going to be meeting. As the elevator dings, she looks down at her watch and sighs irritated. "Three minutes late." She lets out a breath and smiles while the door opens and looks at the people in front of her. "Welcome to Jurassic World."

They all began walking around the place, people looking around enjoying what was around them. Claire was leading them around speaking to them.

"Scientists are hard at work as visitors watch them through convex windows." She explained to them as she leads a small tour group consisting of three potential investors, Hal, Jim and Erica through the laboratory. "While year-over-year revenue continues to climb, operating costs are higher than ever. Our shareholders have been patient, but let's be honest, no one's impressed by a dinosaur anymore. Twenty years ago, de-extinction was right up there with magic. These days, kids look at a Stegosaurus like an elephant from the city zoo. That doesn't mean asset development has fallen behind. Our DNA excavators discover new species every year." She continues to explain.

As they enter a part of the lab closed to visitors. DNA double helixes are displayed on computer screens. Eggs big and small were seen, and in an incubator. "But consumers want them bigger. Louder. More teeth." The investors exchange looks while listening intently. "The good news? Our advances in gene splicing have opened up a whole new frontier. We've learned more from genetics in the past decade than a century of digging up bones." She leads them to the computer screens and looks back at them.

"So, when you say you want to sponsor an attraction, what do you have in mind?" She asks them.

"We wanna be thrilled." Hal told her honestly. She smiles.

"Don't we all." She answers to him. She slides her fingers across the screen and a DNA double helix reacts, she steps forward proudly. "The Indominus Rex. Our first genetically modified hybrid."

Jim looks dubious. "How did you get two different kinds of dinosaurs to..." He struggles with how to put it, and makes awkward "doing it" motions with his hands. Wu chuckles with a smile as he walks up to them. "Y'know?"

"Oh, Indominus wasn't bred. She was designed. She will be fifty feet long when fully grown. Bigger than the T. Rex."

"Every time we've unveiled a new asset, attendance has spiked. Global news coverage. Celebrity visitors. Eyes of the world." 

Hal is convinced. "When will she be ready?"

Wu beams with pride and responds. "She already is."

I continue the drive, I knew I was almost there. I couldn't wait to see Owen at the raptor paddock. I had my sunglasses on, and looking around enjoying the scenery. I heard my phone going off interrupting my thoughts, and I grab it putting it up to my ear.

"Hey, what's going on?" I ask on the other line. "... I was on my way to the raptor paddock, why is there something going on?" Another pause and I groan. "Are you serious? ... No, she's not giving birth for another day, I checked already..." Another pause while Apple looked at me at this point the subject changed completely. "I don't know... Does the Mosasaurus seem out of it...? ... She could just be a little overwhelmed, give her time. Just tell them she's a little shy." Another pause. "Yes... Yes I'll check on them while I'm there..." A groan of annoyance escaped my lips and I hung up the phone.

"Can Claire just bite me in the ass... I swear..." I mumbled under my breath. When I pulled up to the raptor paddock, I was smiling getting out of my car after turning off the engine seeing Owen walking off to go somewhere. "Oi, Grady, don't say hi then!" I called out waving. Owen turns and sees me and he laughs waving back as I run to him and jump into his awaiting his arms. He spins me around and sets me down.

"What's going on? Did you get done early?" Owen asks me and I shake my head.

"No, I'm here observing the raptors for a little while." I smiled to him again. "Claire wants an update on them as soon as I can give it." I sigh rubbing the back of my head. Owen laughs and rubs the top of my head too.

"Then watch and learn, little girl, you're about to watch a pro." Owen said with a grin and walks off, letting out a huff, I fix my hair and follow him to the cage and watch him.

"Are you still building...?" Masrani asked her as he sees the workers welding up the paddock.

"We planned to open in May, but Asset Containment insisted we build the walls up higher. It's bigger than expected." Claire explained to him as she walks ahead while he stands there observing how huge the walls are. He mutters under his head that "it's a good sign" and begins to follow Claire.

Claire leads Masrani into the paddock's observation room, a large control room with computers and enormous windows overlooking the interior of the enclosure. Nick stands at one of the touch screen thermal imaging consoles as they come in. Masrani takes off his sunglasses.

"We hit a few speedbumps early on. It began to anticipate where the food would come from." Claire tells Masrani and she gestures for Nick to leave and he exits, leaving the two of them alone. "One of the handlers nearly lost an arm. The others threatened to quit if I couldn't guarantee their safety." Claire and Masrani go to the windows and at this moment, they couldn't see anything but dense jungle.

"She's intelligent, then?" Masrani asks her and Claire snorts and is amused.

"For a dinosaur."

Masrani looks at the window and is dark when he talks to her. "And that?" They both turn at the broken glass, and she told him that it tried to break the glass. Masrani was a little amused. They hear a growl outside. Something enormous begins moving through the trees at the far end of the enclosure. They see the outline of a large theropod dinosaur with white skin moving through the fronds, but Indominus rex doesn't fully emerge. Masrani stares at her.

"Oh, it's white... you never told me it was white..." Masrani was in awe telling Claire this.

Claire looked concerned, and asks Masrani. "Think it'll scare the kids...?"

Masrani responded absently, still looking at her. "The kids? This'll give the parents nightmares..."

"Is that... good...?" Claire asks uncertain, and Masrani nods still in awe.

"It's fantastic..." Outside, they the Indominus' yellow eye peering at the two humans through the foliage. "Can she see us?"

"They say it can sense thermal radiation, like snakes." Claire stated to him.

"Say, I thought there were two of them." Masrani said looking for the other one.

"There was a sibling in case this one didn't survive infancy." Claire told him once more. 

"Where's the sibling?"

"She ate it..." Claire stated as matter of factly.

Masrani stares at her wide-eyed. She simply smiles nervously. He nods and looks up at the ceiling. Outside, the Indominus rex moves away through the jungle.

"So the paddock is quite safe, then?" Masrani asks her.

She nods and looks at him. "We have the best structural engineers in the world."

"Yeah, so did Hammond." Claire didn't respond to Masrani's fact. "There's an American Navy man here. Part of a research program one of my companies is running. Owen Grady. And another woman here overseeing all the dinosaurs to see if there is any problem with them. Ashlynn Petrelli, I'm sure you know her." Claire looked a little miffed.

"I know who they are." Claire seemed a little annoyed.

"His animals often try to escape. They're smart. He has to be smarter." Masrani praised Owen and smiles. Claire smiles mirthlessly.

"He only thinks he's smarter..." Claire muttered under her breath and Masrani notices her tone and lets us pass without a comment. "I want you to bring both of them in. Let him inspect the paddock. Maybe he sees something we can't. And let her inspect the Indominus to see any mood changes, she could also see something we can't."

Claire is screaming in her head but nods none-the-less and they both head out so she can get the task done.

A/N: Alright! This chapter is done, what do you think? I thought I'd try something different with my character instead of having her in just one spot where it seemed... cliche... I really hope you like this and I hope to update next week, please let me know! Love you guys!!
