Like I'm gonna lose you (Clawen)

Fault

OWEN'S POV

There was less people now that they are starting to evacuate. We head to the control room as it was out safest bet. "Aunt Claire...what happened?" Gray asked as we walked quickly. I suddenly felt a wave of guilt rush over me. It was all my fault. If only I could to control my anger and not see the red mist. "I, errm... I don't actually know, everything was going fine but..." Claire's voice trailed off. "I know what happened" I stated looking down at my feet. "What happened then?" Zach asked. I opened my mouth to speak when Claire let out an ear piercing scream. Claire's scream set Olivia off again but that was the least of our problems. Just in front of us were two Indominus Rexes, I squinted my eyes in disbelief as they were a lot smaller than the original. My mind shot back to Dr. Wu's hidden office. I remembered skim reading some papers about IR 2.0 being bred to a reduce size for project living weapon and there was something else about being bred in groups of four. "Sh!t" I cursed under my breath. I glanced around the corridors desperate searching for the other two. They had to be near by; they were part raptor and raptors liked to hunt in packs. I could hear someone hyperventilating. Think Owen, think. I had to come up with a way to protect us before it was too late.

Just then I realised the answer was staring me right in the face. To the right of us was an asset containment storage closet. "Everyone in a second, we are all going to sprint to that closet over to the right" I muttered calmly. "Now!" My attempt to whisper shout had failed miserably. The attention of the two Idominuses were completely on us. We dashed to the closet, Claire quickly punched in the security code. We entered in a panicked manor as the dinosaur were running our way. I slammed the door shut just in time, as a split second later there was a huge thud against the door and a small dent appeared. "We're safe in here, right?" Gray gulped nervously. "Totally" Zach reassured him but didn't sound too confident himself. I tried hushing Olivia as the dinosaurs continued to repeatedly ram the metal door. After a while it stopped but we could still hear them communicating with each other. "So...what happened?" Zach turned his attention to me. I squeezed my eyes shut and drew in a sharp breath. "Owen?" Claire asked anxiously. I opened my eyes deliberately trying not to make eye contact with anyone. "After Zach went to have lunch with you guys, I stayed in the hybrid enclosure. There was some kid tapping on the glass" I paused for a breath. I could feel everyone's eyes on me and it made me extremely uncomfortable. "I told him to stop but he didn't, then the Sharks started swimming against the glass...And it smashed opened. I saw them mutate into some kind of reptile hybrid. I had to evacuated the viewing tunnel and trapped them in by sliding a fire extinguisher through the door handles." My voice wavered slightly through out. "That's impossible, that glass is at least 3 times stronger than bullet proof but that still doesn't explain the Indominus Rexes" Claire contemplated. "Let him take his time, we have plenty of it" Gray said innocently and I chuckled nervously.

"I knew Dr. Wu was behind it, so I stormed straight into his office. Fortunately for him, he wasn't there. However I spotted an extension to his office behind a bookcase. I found some papers about how the Indominus were experiments for InGen. That made the blood boil in side my head. I decided to try and hack into his computer to try and get some more information. Then Henry came in and he explained the security system within his computer. So I decided to back off not wanting to cause havoc. Henry being the a$$hole he is..." I lectured. "Owen!" Claire interrupted sharply. "Sorry, anyway I can't stand him and then he insulted me and I... I got so angry I slammed my fist on the keyboard hitting the enter key" I mumbled the last bit. I mentally cringed as everyone sat in silence. "I know it's stupid. It's all my fault, I'm sorry" I stated solemnly. Thankfully the silence was broken by Claire "You didn't mean too, and anyway Dr. Wu shouldn't be working on side projects. Especially for InGen". I gave Claire a weak smile as she didn't blame me completely. Claire gave my a peck on the cheek to reassure me that she wasn't upset with me.

"I think the coast is clear" Zach said peering out of the small window in the door. Claire stood up and brushed herself down before confirming it was safe to try and get to the control room again. We headed to the control room slowing down at every corner. I was trailing behind still carrying Olivia. I felt awful, definitely one of my worst mistakes. We shuffled into the elevator, the resort was a ghost town. "Oh my Gosh! thank goodness you guys are alright!! What happened!¿!" Lowery blurted out as soon as we stepped out. I gulped anxiously not wanting to explain my mistake again. "Lowery" Claire said pulling him aside. I was so great full what would I do without her¿? "Oh, so Jurassic World was your fault and now Aquatic World is Owen's fault" Lowery said way too loudly for a private conversation.

I marched straight over to Lowery and Claire. "Lowery Cuthers!! Who in God's name do you think you are?!¿" I said sharply squaring up to him. "Owen" Claire spoke softly trying to push me back. Lowery gulped nervously at me. "Listen, Jurassic World was not Claire's fault! Do you have any idea what she's been through??!" I barked at him. I knew Claire was still sensitive about the topic and I hated seeing her get upset. "Owen, Calm down. And Lowery this is not Owen's fault. Use your brain once in a while" Claire said stepping in between us. Lowery rubbed the back of his neck and mumbled a sorry. I then head over to Claire who was now making her way over to the boys and Olivia. "Hey, thanks for sticking up me but I can defend myself from Lowery" I spoke calmly to her. "Sorry, next time I won't... but thanks for protecting me" Claire sounded disappointed. "Wait, I didn't mean it like that, I mean... Come on it's only Lowery. And I will always protect you no matter what" I said trying to fix the situation. "Hey I heard that" Lowery called from behind. "I don't care" I called back bluntly and that seemed to shut him up.

Claire giggled at my quarrel between Lowery and I. "Claire, I love you and don't ever forget that" I pulled her to face me and stared into her crystal eyes. "I know, I love you too" she whispered. I leaned in and gave her a kiss. Claire melted under my touch, it reminded me of our first kiss back at Jurassic World. Although this kiss had a lot more meaning but the amount of passion was equal. "Get a room!" Zach called at us. "Zach!" Gray hissed, "you're ruining their moment". Claire and I pulled apart and laughed at Gray; he was just too cute. Claire and I sat with the boys and Claire relieved Zach of Olivia. A few moments later Lowery joined us on the floor of the control room. We just sat there too tired to do anything else.
