after 29 years, ellie sattler and alan grant are endgame 🎉 (jurassic world dominion, 2022)

"Yeah, there's gonna be a lotta fallout. Don't hestitate to call in for backup if you both need it. M'sure Claire will want to help in any way she can. She'd be better at talkin t'people than me but I'm in too if you need me." Owen glances towards Alan with a knowing smile. "See? All ya needed was a few dinosaurs thrown in the mix and voila. What's funny is same thing happened with Claire n'me. We drifted for awhile then reconnected over getting back t'the island to find Blue before the volcanic activity got her. Didn't think I'd be getting a second chance with Claire so I hope that your second chance with Alan pans out. If you ever want t'visit there's an open invite just let us know you're comin out so I can make sure the area is secured." Speaking of raptors he glances in the direction of where Beta is snoozing away then back towards Ellie. "I think you could apply the same technique's I used with the raptor pack on any of dinosaurs. There may be a few exceptions but it'd be worth a shot. It might be worth looking into to reduce issues between us and them but at the end of the day they're still wild intelligent beings that're gonna wanna do their own thing. You interested in trying? I'd be happy to show you once things have calmed down with Blue."

The New World

With adrenaline still running high despite having been in relative safety for the past hour or so Owen found himself still on edge, and not likely to process anything that's happened for quite some time to come. Perhaps once their plane was airborne, and heading home he might be able to at least rest but that too seems highly unlikely given his dreams will no doubt be filled with near death experiences, and flashes of massive teeth.

As he steps onto the ramp heading up into the plane at Claire's side his footfalls sound ridiculously loud as they strike the metal. It would also appear that Beta isn't too thrilled about all of the surrounding noise caused by a herd of humans and their preparations. Soft angry trills could be heard from the crate that was being settled up against a wall out of the way where hopefully the raptor will be able to sleep away the first leg of the journey via the aid of a sedative. One by one people find their seats to get strapped into for the unconfortable flight to come. It sort of reminded Owen of Noah's arc as everyone seemed to be grouping up in two's to talk and strap themselves in. His daughter came over to check in with him, and Claire a moment before going to sit beside Kayla to chat about all manner of things. The growing bond between the two brought a weak smile to his face as he hadn't much energy left to do much more than shuffle along.

As he sat down gingerly to draw a strap over his shoulder he noticed Dr. Satler and Grant across from himself and Claire. He would dearly love to get to know them both better and pick their brains about a million different things but he didn't want to come off like too much of an overzealous fan but then again they all seem to share a level of excitement about each others contributions to the Jurassic World they find themselves living in. Not too long after everyone is situated the plane taxi'd down the runway and lifted into the air reaching what hopefully is a safe altitude. There's a bit of anxiety thrumming in his veins given a few short hours ago he survived a plane crash, but by all appearances he seems fine.

His eyes suddenly meet Ellie's and his smile softens. A chuckle escapes him, "I can't thank you, and Alan enough for what you've done for my family. I know; I know. I keep sayin it like a broken record but --- thanks. Honestly? There's so much I'd like to ask the both of you that I'm barely keepin myself from bombarding you with questions."

Blue scoffs which is a rather odd sound emitting from the raptor. "Even an elder you are still lethal." There's nothing really that she's come up against that would pose a problem save perhaps one of those big fuzzy things that stands tall when provoked. It's also very loud. She supposes that its supposed to be intimidating but when you've gone up against a giant raptor bigger than a Rex there's nothing too intimidating in existence. The wolf makes a pass at the deer and seems to get in a few good swipes at it but never coming quite close enough to sinking in teeth. It manages to get kicked by a hoof which does not bode well for the predator. Still it puts up a good fight as does the deer but the pair of them are making far too much noise that will attract the attention of other predators in the area and Blue refuses to have anything come this close to the cabin or her pup that is not too far away. Blue nudges Tango with the side of her head then slinks off into the forest to circle around and get a good position to drive the deer right into Tango. The wolf wont know what hit it until its too late. She takes up position waiting for Tango to send her signal that she is also ready. If all goes well she can go and fetch her pup and bring her here to enjoy the multi-kill and meet Tango.

@pack-dynamics

Tango had survived the old park and on the outskirts of the new park, along with being captured and put in a cage of some weird enclosure. With all she had been through her long historied life, one would think her survival would be coming to a end, especially since now the old raptor had to adapt to a new set of changes once she found herself out side the weird enclosure.

She had survived scavanging off the bigger predators kills and stealing kills from strange animals. She stayed away from cities and towns, because she had learned not to trust humans, there was once a time she had trusted one but he was long gone especially after the big one took over and asserted her domenance. She only ventured into the populated areas after night fall to scavange what she could eat, until one night she had stepped into a trap and tranqed.

When she awoke she found herself in a metal container that vaguely reminded her of her childhood. She pressed snout to one of the holes, after she had unsteady gotten to her feet and got used to the movement of the container as it moved down the road, and sniffed trying to catch some scents

This new world that is evolving is still fairly strange to him. Who would have thought there would be people specializing in dinosaur related trauma? He has to wonder if perhaps the therapists are trained to handle situations like his given what's happened to his daughter over the past few years. "We talkin issues with teeth or the people we care about? I spose its all related but I haven't really talked to anyone bout what's happened with my daughter. I'm thinkin maybe I oughta try. Something went wrong before you saught help? Don't mean t'pry just curious."

All talk about dinosaur related drama is cast aside the second he hears that Grant eloped His eyes grow wider than saucers as his jaw drops open in shock. "You what?!" Noting the smile he cheers saluting the man with his beer bottle. "Hey! This is great, Alan! I'm really happy for all of you. I want details though. Please tell me you vanished to someplace nice an'not a courthouse. Details man!" Owen grinned so hard that it was starting to hurt his cheeks. "Oh... erm." Now he's a bit on the spot but he can feel a warm weight settle in his chest that he can't ignore. "Not sure either of us are the marrying type but I'm in it for the long haul. We're partners, been partners for awhile even with a few road bumps along the way, and it works. Means a lot that you care though. I appreciate it and can't wait to tell the girls ---well watch you tell the girls about your marry-age."

Owen snickers before draining another inch of three of his beer. "Yeah, to be honest I'd be more afraid of what you're wife would do to me if you got hurt out here." Setting the bottle down on a coaster beside his chair he casts a quick glance out the window before his gaze revists upon the beaming man. "Looking forward to the party! How old're her boys? Have you known 'em before now? And for even more questions what's she getting into now? If it's somethin that's going to be chaotic, and potentially dangerous I might want in."

Past meets Present

A few weeks after returning from the Biosyn sanctuary Owen found himself heading back out to his cabin in the woods for a meetup with a new friend. While he no longer lives there on a daily basis he ventures back every now and then to keep the place maintained and to check on Blue and Beta if they decide to come around and see him. Since he returned he, Claire and Maisie found a place in town to call home so that Masie can enjoy being around kids her age, and experience things that she's been kept from since she was nine years old. It's been good so far if a bit of a learning curve for all of them but they seem to be adjusting. After a once around the cabin it seems to be in great shape. The gentle breeze from the east is rustling the leaves of the nearby trees, and bird song breaks the silence sporadically. He hasn't heard a raptor call or chittering nearby thus far so he settles himself near the fire pit tossing bits of wood into the circle before picking up a piece to widdle while he waits for Grant to arrive. He's tried not to annoy the man with calls seeing as that business in Washington was going down for awhile but that's all done with for the most part now. He's looking forward to catching up with him, and discussing things they have in common. There's also something that he's been itching to tell Alan about for awhile but hasn't found a way to bring it up. Perhaps today over a beer or three he can bring it up or knowing his luck Blue will party crash, and he won't have the time.

"They're not here now. There is a female, and a female child." They will have to view the human family from afar before drawing in closer. If there are other humans then they will have to suss out the situation before making their move. While the humans can fend for themselves it doesn't mean they should have to. Blue drew in a breath as her talon clicked the ground repeatedly. "Do you want to chase or attack?" She feels that it would do Tango some good to get back to being a hunter, feeling a creatures life force end with a quick twist of their head, and tasting the rush of fresh blood flowing across the tongue. "Your stomach might give you away though. It's louder than that lone wolf that thinks its going to take that deer down without a pack. It could be amusing to watch it fail then take them both."

Owen couldn't help but softly snicker as he saw his friend take a look about the area. "Yup," he agreed making the 'p' pop at the end. "Think Claire would do bout the same if our positions were reversed." As Alan went to grab his bag Owen made his way into the cabin to the kitchen pulling out two bottles of beer then removing the caps before making his way over. "Think we're alright," he responds while handing over one of the bottles. "Have a seat wherever ya' want." Owen slumped down on a lone chair that faced the sofa and seemed to sink back into it as if he sits there more often than not. "The girls seem to be thriving. Claire's in high demand and Masie is finally getting to enjoy being a teenager. I like seeing them both happy but we all have our moments. Can't be nearly eaten by carnivores and not have issues." He shrugs that off with a shake of his head before taking a long pull from the bottle. "How're things shaking out with you an'Ellie?" Owen rests the bottle against his knee as he watches Alan glance out the window and decides to answer the question posed to him before his friend gets to answer the one he pitched out there to be fielded. "Were you askin about me, and the raptors a moment ago or my girls?" He teases knowing full well Alan meant Claire and Masie. "Well, honestly they all are my girls. Come to think of it I'm out numbered ---but I wouldn't change a thing." He gestures towards the window.

"I've seen Blue and Beta every now and then. Beta's grown since last you saw her but still a little thing. I think they come around more for my sake than theirs to be honest." He ends fondly but quickly adds, "Have to mention it even though I'm fairly sure you already know but if you're going to go outside make sure I'm nearby. Rather not lose a friend on their first trip out to the cabin."
