Chapter 8- Jurassic Park, Part 8

The goat bleated within the Tyrannosaur paddock, audible over the pouring rain as Jaune ran back to his car to take cover from the storm. The cars had inexplicably stopped right in front of the enclosure, and, not knowing what to do, he went to confer with the only other adult present.

"Oh, this oughta be good." Torchwick said, sitting up in his seat.

"Their radio's out too." He said, as he climbed back into the driver's seat and closed the door, soaking wet. "Schnee said to stay put."

"Kids okay?" Nora asked, concern evident in her voice.

"I didn't ask. Why wouldn't they be?"

"Kids get scared."

"What's to be scared of? It's just a little hiccup in the power- "

"I didn't say I was scared."

"I didn't say you were scared." Jaune said, giving Nora a sidelong glance.

In the front car, Ruby jumped up and cried "Boo!", startling her big sister and waking up the white-haired adult in the driver's seat. Yang's momentary fright was justified. Ruby was wearing a large pair of goggles over her eyes that were colored in yellow and green camouflage and clearly too big for her.

"Some things never change, do they little sister?" Yang said, ruffling Ruby's hair.

"It was easier to do when we were little." Ruby said, waving away her sister's hand.

"Hey," Whitley said shortly, "Where did you find those?"

"In a box under my seat." Ruby chirped.

"Are they heavy?"

"Yeah." Ruby said, weighing them in her hands. They were heavy to her, at least.

"Then they're expensive. Put them back." Whitley said as he returned to resting his eyes, letting the drumming of the rain on the windshield help him fall asleep. Ruby gave him a small pout before completely disregarding what he said as soon as his eyes were closed and climbing into the trunk area with the goggles still on her head. As she passed Yang in the back seat, the blonde grabbed a pamphlet and gave the brunette a light smack on the head with it.

"Don't scare me." She said quietly.

Ruby stared out the back windshield of the car and turned on the goggles. Instantly, the world turned shades of green and she could see as well as she normally could in the daytime.

"Woah, cool. Night vision." She said as she began fiddling with the zoom dial. She saw that the rear car had one of its doors open and Dr. Arc was filling up a canteen of some kind with rain water.

"Is that what it's like for you, Blake?" Ruby asked, referring to the natural night vision most Faunus possessed.

"More or less." She replied "At least it's not as fuzzy for us, but then, technology vs nature isn't always a fair comparison."

Feeling that his canteen was sufficiently full, Jaune pulled his hand back in, closed the door, and took a sip from the canteen before offering it to Nora, who politely took it.

In the front car, Ruby took off her goggles, turned and halted her sister, who had been fanning herself with the pamphlet she had smacked Ruby with.
