Side note: As I mentioned in the summary, things get raunchy pretty quickly. And if you're wondering, no I'm not planning a full-fledge series, just a few chapters. If you want an awesome, plot driven JP fic, then I'd highly recommend Jurassic World: Why So Blue? by WhenBooksFly101. It's masterfully written and I don't usually say that about just anyone's story either. This one's just a fun little, albeit rushed, pairing with an OC and nothing more. Enjoy!

Charlie's Shadow

Chapter one: Hyper Lethal Vector

5 years prior to Jurassic World incident

Undesignated embryonic facility on Isla Nublar

Level 5 access required…

Dr. Henry Wu reviewed the collected data from Dr. Isaac Freeman's tablet and asked his colleague if the current gene algorithms made sense.

"No, they don't and they never will." he replied in a vexed manner. "You can't expect order and logical outcomes with something like this Henry. It's unnatural."

"Nothing at Jurassic World will be, Isaac. I suggest you run the simulation again and let me know what's the problem this time."

Isaac snatched the tablet back and quickly passed his finger over the irrelevant equations and corresponding calculations till he reached their current obstacle.

"Well as you already know, the T-3 model failed the creation of its neural plate during the critical portion of organogenesis. We were able to rectify this issue by directly intervening in the cell signaling cascades with the T-4 and-"

"And it failed. Which is why we're on T-7, now aren't we? So what happened this time Isaac? Did we or did we not succeed. Will this embryo survive?"

Isaac sighed and changed his tablet to a direct feed of the gestating embryo in a level 5 security nursery, where only the most dangerous assets are being hatched.

"This one will… but…"

"But?"

"Henry, this isn't a genetics issue, it's a behavioral concern. Something that's been this spliced and altered is bound to have unforeseen psychological developments that we can't one-hundred percent stay on top of."

"You're worried about T-7 being a little smarter than your average Velociraptor?"

"No. I'm worried about T-7 being a little smarter than your average human." Dr. Freeman answered.

"I guess we'll just have to run some live-simulations and find out." Dr. Wu stated with the upmost confidence.

Present day Jurassic World

Advanced Biological Research Center

Level 2 access required

He had been expecting the outburst any minute now, and stood patiently near the viewing glass overlooking a small laboratory. Dr. Wu turned to hear the automatic sliding doors part, followed by the scuffle of his security guards and one ticked off JW employee. Owen shrugged off one of the guards and came right up to the lead geneticist himself.

When news got around about someone authorizing the placement of another asset in the same enclosure as his raptors, he just could not stand idly by and allow this to happen without his consent.

"Wu, what the hell do you think you're doing?"

"Mr. Grady, please understand that this is all in the name of science. For the benefit of Jurassic World even. Remember that this place is a theme park first and foremost. These were Mr. Masrani's orders after all, to create something that no one's ever seen before."

"So you're putting an unstable and unpredictable hybrid in with an already established pack of raptors? Yeah, great plan." Owen remarked sarcastically.

"I assure you, the T-7 model was made with only minor adjustments to its morphology, the rest is purely cosmetic and should in no way hinder its ability to interact and behave like a normal Velociraptor." Dr. Wu tries to reason, but to no avail do his words appeal.

"That's the problem with you eggheads. Just became you make the animals, doesn't mean you can control them."

"Isn't that why we hired you in the first place, Mr. Grady? To control them for us?"

"I raised these girls from birth, there's trust and respect between us. I don't control them. Nobody can." Owen scowled, showing his back to Dr. Wu and looking at the laboratory. "This thing you've made can never be controlled."

"What makes you so sure of that?"

"Because I know it was raised alone."

Owen left with nothing more to say and the security guards escorting him out to ensure he did not have second thoughts. Dr. Wu mulled on the matter for a few moments before dismissing his claims and returning to overseeing the lab results. He could not deny that there was some truth to Mr. Grady's words, but this was a trial run either way. Wu wishes to observe the results like any good scientist would. It matters little at this point, the gene sequencing has proven successful. The T-8 model is already underway and with some enhancements from the larger denizens of Jurassic World, it will be even bigger than their largest carnivore on record. Hopefully Mr. Grady will have learned to work with the T-7 by then…

Back on the outside, Owen decided to go inspect this aberrant product of their crazy experiments for himself. It was scheduled to be released into a temporary holding section of the raptor paddock and ultimately, this was a unanimous decision on Mr. Masrani's part as well. Therefore, he could not object, but at least he could gage this hybrid's personality for himself.

He rode a Jurassic World Jeep all the way down to the paddocks area and parked it just outside. Vic Hoskins men were just about finished with the deployment procedures and were on standby for further instructions. Owen was none too fond of Vic, knowing exactly what that man thought of his dinosaurs. The very idea of weaponizing them was not only inhumane, but idiotic and ludicrous. They are intelligent creatures no doubt, yet their actions are still driven by instinct. They must never be taken lightly and a certain air of caution should always be maintained when in their presence.

Owen made his way up to the catwalks to view the soon-to-be latest edition to his pack. He was stunned to see the genetically enhanced dinosaur itself staring right back at him from down below in the enclosure. It stood out in the open clear as day, or in this case, night. Its scales had a luster like obsidian, with a gilded streak running along each side that went from head to tail. On the head of this hybrid, was a jagged toothed maw resembling that of a crocodilian. Its black pupils followed his movements over its golden sclera. The brow of its skull was furrowed in such a manner that the carnivore looked stuck in a perpetual glare at all times.

It did not take its eyes off Owen for a second and even adjusted its posture to continue watching him. He could tell right away that this thing was as perceptive if not more so, than his own raptors. This Indominus raptor or Indoraptor for short, looked significantly larger than even Blue, who was the oldest member of his pack.

He was told however by Dr. Wu, that compared to their current assets, the Indoraptor was hatched around the same time Charlie was, their youngest Velociraptor. The key traits Owen is more concerned about here is not its age. It's the animal's ability to adjust from a solitary lifestyle to a more social setting. Unlike the other big carnivores they have, raptors are not only smart, they are highly sociable as well. It is one of their baser instincts to hunt in small groups rather than to live alone.

In just a few hours' time, that theory will be put to the test for this black hunter. Owen decided to get a closer look and ventured to the ground level transport room. A steel barred buffer connecting the paddock to the outside world. It allows handlers to get close without risking a containment breach. Owen does not usually use them, though in this case he cannot afford to take that chance. He closes the door behind him and looks over to see the Indoraptor nowhere in sight. The perplexed raptor handler pauses halfway to the barred gate and slowly removes one of his boots. Owen has a hunch and follows his gut, tossing his Timberland boot at the bars (Damn not the Timbs).

The big ebony hunter came sliding across the leaves and kicking up dirt as it looks around for him. It tilted its snout and walked away after failing to achieve what Owen quickly recognized as a poorly executed ambush. The raptor genes were strong, but they were not the issue. It was whatever else they were mixed in with that was.

Owen spent the next two hours recording the Indoraptor's behavioral responses to various stimuli. And the more he prodded at this bizarre lab experiment, the more he began to warm up to its almost regal appearance. He also learned from what little files the genetics department would let him read, that this "it" was actually a male and fully capable of breeding. This peaked some of Owen's own interest as the one aspect of Velociraptor pack structure he could never learn due to his raptors being all girls, was their interactions with the opposite sex. That is, if they do take kindly to him.

The Indoraptor may be slightly larger, but four-well trained Velociraptors would have no trouble making short work of him if they wanted to.

"Heads up!"

His jagged toothed maw caught the dead rodent he threw and swallowed the furry body in one gulp.

"Nice catch!" Owen says aloud before jotting some notes down in his journal. "Subject is responded surprisingly well to commands and shows almost alarmingly fast comprehension skills. He's able to learn tricks that took the other raptors days of practice. It's too bad I don't know what else you've got in there buddy, but for the meantime, I'll have my doubts till you prove me wrong."

The final hour soon approached and Owen is joined by his friend Barry Sembene, who has built a trust with the Velociraptor named Delta in a similar manner to his own understanding with the second in command named Blue. Barry tells him that he was already briefed on this whole situation and is none too happy himself. Owen informs him that they do not have a say, but he can at least rest assured that this hybrid acts more like a confused raptor than some mentally unstable killing machine.

"I sure hope you're right Owen." Barry responds.

"Don't worry, the girls will be fine."

"It's not them I was talking about. I don't think Dr. Wu's gonna like it when they tear apart his most expensive dinosaur yet."

"Looks like we'll find out first thing tomorrow then, it's getting late. Besides, they're not mixing just yet, even Vic's not that arrogant."

It was around midnight when the large divider separating the main paddock and small subunit slid open. To be on the safe side, a thin metal fence was all that prevented the creatures from crossing over. Owen had told Dr. Wu and Hoskin's men that Velociraptors can be very territorial and need to be introduced on neutral grounds first without either of them feeling that their side is being threatened.

Immediately, the more curious of all four and youngest, Charlie, came sprinting over to investigate all the commotion. The Indoraptor did the same and the two strangers came snout to snout for the very first time.

With aid from the stars and full moon, Charlie could see the glistening black skin of this odd scented raptor from the other side. She has never smelled a member of her own kind like him. It was not only because he was new, it also was because his scent was masculine. Never having met a female before, he is just as confused as she is.

The Indoraptor gazes curiously at the somewhat smaller creature from behind the fence. It looks like he does, but smells differently from the humans and meat he has consumed. He knows it is not food from the familiar scent, yet this shorter version of himself is not like he is. It is his first time sniffing a female. And in his intrigued state, his bulk pressed against the fence in his desperate attempts to study her further. The metal groaned and creaked at the pressure until he heard a hiss from the other side.

"Hey, back it up you!"

"Huh?" he replied in shock.

"You heard me." Charlie huffed.

"I did and I am surprised. I did not think there were others like me."

"Well of course there's others. I got my sisters and you got… wait, where's the rest of your pack?"

"My pack? What is that?"

Charlie paced back and forth to see past him. She could neither see nor smell anyone else. He truly was the only one there.

"You're all by your lonesome? That's awful! I can see why you wanna come over so badly now. I don't blame you, and sorry for getting all defensive, I just thought you were looking for a fight."

"Fight? No. I just wanted to smell you."

His honest request was met with a honest response. The green female Velociraptor presented her hide to the fence, letting him sniff what he can from his side. He rears his head back and in turn presents himself to her. Charlie gets a whiff and finds herself pressed against the fencing as well. She backs off with a shake of her head and snorts to conceal her embarrassment.

"I like the way you smell," the black male confesses.

"Yeah me too," she answers, staring at his eyes intently. "My name's Charlie by the way. What's yours?"

"I do not know… I do not think I have one."

"What? Don't be silly, everyone has a name. Even you. Just think. Was there something your pac- I mean, the humans called you by? Anything at all?"

"…Scion. I believe they referred to me as Scion."

"Sy-e-on? That's a cool name! Well I hope we can see each other again tomorrow too, Scion. I need to get back to my sisters or they'll get worried. Bye!"

"Goodbye. Charlie."

He watched her emerald body trot away, black stripe and all. Scion dug his claws into the mesh of the fencing and already felt a pang of pain in his chest. It was a sensation he had never dealt with before. He now understood what she meant by being alone. It hurt more than any injection or cruel test the humans ever put him through. Scion hoped she would stay true to her words. Meeting Charlie again was all he could think of now.

The following morning came and the Indoraptor found himself batting his eyes slowly open. There were humans moving about up above, beyond his reach. It was the fair skinned one and darker one from yesterday. Scion shook his head to relieve himself of that groggy morning daze and stamped over to drink from the water trough in a corner. He could hear the sounds of their voices, but could only grasp his name and nothing more.

They then disappeared while the ones wearing matching outfits stood at their posts in silence. A portly looking human from behind him leaned on the railing and kept his eyes on Scion. It fascinated him how diverse these upright walking creatures could be. The Indoraptor grew bored of staring and circled his small home, awaiting his reunion with that pleasant smelling raptor from beyond the fence.

An hour later however, the two humans from before returned. The one that fed him the small mammals for completing random tasks nodded to the other. They then ventured to the catwalks of the other paddock and disappeared from his view altogether. The rounder human had also gone to the other side. A loud buzz suddenly rung, making Scion jump into an aggressive stance as the two red lights atop the fence blinked continuously.

The dividing wall of thin metal began to vanish inside the thicker walls and Scion stared in disbelief, his path to Charlie was now open. Giddy with excitement, he rushed through and found himself in a much more spacious enclosure than his own. He searched around for her smell, but encountered several others that must belong to these sisters that she mentioned. Scion should have asked what a sister was in the first place.

He heard the crunch of leaves and a snarl at his back. Scion spun quickly around to meet the source. Charlie? No, the sight and scent did not match. The brown colored challenger crept near with her claws poised and teeth bared. Scion flashed his own set of jagged teeth and gave a low growl from his throat. She snapped her jaws and he saw the blur of her indigo stripe as she ran in.

Echo would not allow this trespasser to come into their home unscathed. Defending her sisters was of the upmost priority, but this weirdly scented raptor was quite the big bruiser. She thrust her full weight upon him in one blind charge. Her inertia was not enough to knock him down or even push him back more than a foot or two. She felt his muscle tense a few seconds after her full-body lunge and knew what would come next. Echo flew back, landing on both feet and itching for another go. Neither animal was aware of the tranquilizer rounds already setting their sights on their tough exteriors, or that Owen held them back. The raptor trainer smiled and told everyone to ease off. Blue was finally here.

Scion turned his attention to the screech of another, one that almost rivals his own height and strength. A grey skinned and bright azure striped Velociraptor jumped between the both of them. Echo lips twitched as she stepped back from her older sister's display of authority. The scar on her muzzle reminded her of their last bout for dominance, she was in no mood to earn another. She submitted with a lowered head and went to stand by her sister's side. Blue's growling is then directed towards the interloper. Now Scion must contend with two angry females, the odds are stacked against him. He is backed into a corner with nowhere to run as the lead raptor steps forward to confront him.

"You dare come into my territory and threaten my sisters, outsider? Speak up!"

"I only came to see Charlie, nothing more. I did not come to fight anyone." Scion's guttural, male voice sounded.

Blue's eyes narrowed onto his unique appearance and the two predators began sizing one another up. It was obvious who the bigger one was, but it was also clear who the more valiant of the two was.

"Why her? What do you want?"

"To talk," the ebony fleshed Indoraptor admitted. "I am… alone. I have been alone, for a long time."

"A raptor without a pack? I've never heard of such a thing. I suppose I can't blame you, but that doesn't excuse you're behavior. If you wish to run with us than you'll need to learn your place first!"

Blue sprinted at him and in the blink of an eye, was upon Scion faster than he could react. He chomped his jaws at where she should have been and was amazed at how incredibly agile her movements were. The grey Velociraptor turned on a dime at the last second, dodging his teeth and landing parallel to his right flank. She bite down on his right ankle and pulled, forcing him to lose balance. The big black raptor fell on his side with Blue hopping on top of him and planting her mouth at his neck. Scion knew what would come next if he rebelled and lay defeated beneath her mass.

"You're strong no doubt, but slow and sloppy as well."

Blue backed off as Scion hobbled to his feet and growled back.

"Were it so easy."

"I'll allow you to walk amongst us, for now. Try to hurt my pack in anyway however, and I'll make sure you stay down for good next time. That goes for you too, Echo."

"Huh? What did I do? I was just protecting our own!" the brown female argued back.

"Don't start fights you can't win. You move just like he does. The difference in strength would be your downfall. Keep that in mind next time you try fighting alone, sister."

"If you hadn't interrupted I would have- just stay outta my way, Omega!"

Echo looked at him while issuing that last spiteful snap of her jaws and walked off. Scion caught Blue's attention with his movements and asked what that word meant. She seemed bewildered that basic pack structure was lost on his puzzled expression, but explained either way. Blue is the Beta or second in command, and has officially accepted him into the group. He has been given the lowest rank possible and has received that appropriate title as such. Until he proves himself useful, Omega he shall remain.

Then next obvious question he inquires is which one of them holds the highest rank then. Blue says nothing and raises her snout, pointing right at the human that fed him those furry treats. She tells him of how all four of them were raised from eggs by that human and how he is recognized as Alpha by the pack.

If Scion were a regular Velociraptor he might have had a hard time accepting that statement. He merely processes all this new information and then asks if he may speak to Charlie now.

"You're oddly eager to see her again, interloper."

"My name is Scion and yes, I would very much like to speak with her." he says with a step forward.

"I'm Blue and that's my youngest sister you're referring to," she defensively states. "Watch yourself. I don't care if you are the first male we've ever seen, don't think that gives you some sort of special treatment. And don't even think of trying anything funny either. I'll spill your innards if you do."

The Indoraptor once again did not know what she meant by male or female, he only cared about one thing. Seeing Charlie again. Scion picked up her distinctive scent and raced through the light foliage of the paddock to find her.

There she was, making herself cozy atop a pile of twigs and leaves. Her green scales looked even more pleasant under the sun's rays rather than the moon's. Scion felt his breath quicken and his chest thump. He awkwardly stumbled into the open, cracking a frail stick beneath his weight and losing the element of surprise.

She met his gaze and jumped to her sickle-toed feet. Charlie bobbed head with each step and keeping her posture tense. Scion copied her movements and cautiously inched closer. They were only a few feet apart when he could no longer contain himself. Charlie gave a playful rumble as Scion went right to nuzzling her sides with his snout. She too bumped his thigh with her inquisitive poking and prodding, and made Scion rub against her flank. He felt her thick tail slap his face away and looked at her with wide eyes.

"Don't sniff over there Scion, that's weird."

"Sorry, it just… I am sorry," he apologizes with a drooped neck.

She looks around and chirps back, "It's ok, I know you don't mean any harm, but my older sister's my take it the wrong way."

"What do you mean?"

"They might think you wanna mount me or something. It's silly, I know."

"Why would I mount you?" Scion asks with genuine confusion.

"To mate of course! C'mon Scion, even I know that!"

"What is mating?"

Charlie shakes her head in annoyance and tells him to just let it go. Scion replies by showing her his empty hands and she curls her lips into a smile. She headbutts him back and a chase ensues through the thicker bush of the paddock. They growl and nip at one another like hatchlings, eager to catch the other off guard. Little do they know, the fourth and final sister, Delta, has her eyes on them.

She watches this new Omega chasing after her little sister and sees right through their seemingly innocent game. They way he traps Charlie at every possible turn and brushes his snout on her legs, its almost shamefully obvious, or it would be to an older Velociraptor. He is courting her whether he knows it or not. If Blue or Echo sees this than there will be dire consequences, especially because of his lowly status. But luckily for Scion, Delta likes what she sees. The teal colored, no striped raptor and second eldest of the bunch licks her chops. That big and strong male is wasted on someone so naïve and young. She will show him what a real female is like.
