Dominion: The Nublar Seven

The Apexes of Africa (Finale)

The Apexes of Africa

The Control Room

Patrick's group entered the room where Yaz's group was. Patrick took Conner from Kenji, while Yaz took Mia Jr from Ian. She kissed her daughter's forehead before putting her on her back. Kayla was missing, probably getting the Helicopter.

Ellie hugged Alan.

"You okay?" Grant asked.

"Someday." Ellie said.

"Hey!" Owen yelled aiming his gun towards the entrance. The group turned to see who he was aiming at. When Patrick saw him, his faced turned to rage. He handed Conner to Mia as Patrick stepped towards the man.

Dr. Wu.

He looked terrible. His hair was long, he had bags under his eyes, this a wasn't the Wu that kidnapped Yasmina all those years ago. He had a bag in his hand.

"I remember you." Grant said.

"Please, you have to listen to me..." Wu started but didn't get another word out when Patrick grabbed him by his collar and slammed him into a wall. Yaz looked into her husband's eyes but didn't see any anger. Rather... hurt.

That makes sense. Before the park fell Patrick idolized Wu. Until he learned that Wu was creating monsters and kidnapped Yaz.

When Yaz and Patrick went to the genetics lab all those years ago, Wu was there. And looking back on it, when Wu told her about Patrick's mom and brother, she saw guilt on his face. Sadness. Despite Wu being an egotistical jerk, she knew there was a part of him that cared about Patrick.

"Patrick, please." Wu pleaded as Patrick raised his fist.

"You created an ecological disaster." Ellie argued.

"And I can fix it." Wu said turning to Maisie "Charlotte Lockwood changed every cell in Maisie's body. It saved her life. If I can understand how Charlotte rewrote Maisie's DNA I and change one Locust and destroy the entire swarm. Before it's too late."

The campers looked at each other. The way Wu talk sound like he was breaking down with each word. Patrick, however, wasn't buying it.

"Why'd you kidnap my kids?" Patrick growled.

Wu looked down regretfully.

"I... I want to recreate the Mirikuru, but Dodgson wouldn't let me bring you in." Wu explained causing Patrick's gaze to soften. "I had no intention to hurt them"

"Why?" Patrick asked.

"I... I wanted to redeem myself. Slade... trusted me with the Mirikuru, to make it into a cure for incurable diseases." Wu explained. "When Hoskins forced us to make it into the drug that created Kara he left. He made me promise to protect you and your family. And... I failed. I was trying to make up for it by making the Mirikuru into what it was meant to be."

Patrick frowned, in thought.

"I'm so sorry Patrick. For everything." Wu said as Patrick helped Wu stand.

"You can use my DNA. Under my supervision." Patrick said causing Wu to smile.

"Thank you, Patrick." Wu whispered.

"Is... is that a dinosaur on your shoulder?" Ian asked looking at Owen.

"Yeah. Why?" Owen asked.

Suddenly, the Helicopter Kayla was flying flew right in front of the window.

"I have air. Meet me at the center." Kayla ordered over the radio. Ramsey picked it up and spoke.

"No, no, no wait. Do not land there." Ramsey said.
