Jurassic World ( OWEN GRADY x reader)

Chapter 5 - Making friends

It had been about 30 minutes since Claire and Dr. Wu left (Y/N) in the room alone. She had been studying the mosasaur's behavior, but her attention broke away from the baby when the door open. A bald man with dark brown skin came into the room wearing normal outdoor clothes – (Y/N) liked him already. A genuine smile crossed his face when he saw her cradling the mosasaur.

"You must be (Y/N). It's nice to meet you, I'm Barry." He came up and looked at the wiggling form in her arms. "And this must be the newest member of our Jurassic family."

The mosasaur squeaked at him and (Y/N) smiled warmly. "Nice to meet you Barry. Apologies for not being able to shake your hand."

He chuckled. "Don't worry about it. Why don't you follow me and I'll take you to the enclosure."

(Y/N) stood up, adjusting her hold of the mosasaur, who voiced her displeasure at being moved. Barry picked up (Y/N)'s backpack and held the door open for her. They took a different exit that didn't lead towards the visitor part of the park, and he led her to an SUV. He opened the door for her so she could slide in without having to release the hatchling. Once he got in and started up the car, (Y/N) couldn't hold back her growing curiosity. "Have you seen her enclosure, Barry?"

"Yes, it's the large pool in the middle of the park." He said as he headed down the road toward the employee entrance to the enclosure.

"What!" (Y/N) stared at him, dumbfounded. "They expect her to survive in that enclosure right after being born, I mean hatched?"

Barry glanced over at her. "Is that a problem?"

"Yes it is." (Y/N)'s anger flared again at this whole situation. "So far, all she has known is me holding her. If I were to put her in that enclosure now, she would most likely drown in the deep water. If what I think is true, she needs to learn to swim first. In the past this was probably done by the mother helping the baby to the surface to breathe, similar to whales today. So I will not just put her in that enclosure until I know she is capable."

Barry had stopped the car, since they were near the entrance to the lagoon enclosure. He nodded in understanding. "Alright then, what do you have in mind?"

"I need something fairly shallow, but still large enough for her to swim around in without having to swim in circles. Also something I could easily access and get into the water if necessary." (Y/N) looked over to him. "Is there any place like that?"

He thought for a moment before a wide smile appeared. "I think I know just the place." He turned the vehicle around and drove off to the other side of the park.

As the car stopped, (Y/N) looked around and saw a building off to the right with the electric fence connecting to it. On the other side of the fence she saw a few triceratops grazing in the nearby field. She gave Barry a questioning look as he opened her door.

Before he could answer, a voice from behind him called out, "Look who decided to come by and say hello." (Y/N) poked her head around him to see a woman with light brown skin and curly brown hair in a short bob. She noticed (Y/N) behind him and raised an eyebrow. "Who's this?"

Barry gave her a quick peck on the cheek before turning around to introduce her. "Eliana this is (Y/N). (Y/N) this is Eliana." Eliana looked her over once, but stopped when she saw the mosasaur in (Y/N) arms. Barry continued, "She is the new mosasaur trainer." (Y/N) slightly frowned at the word trainer, since she was here as a scientist, but was quick to smile towards the couple.

"Nice to meet you, (Y/N). You can call me El." She smiled sweetly at (Y/N). "How can I help you?"

"Well, I was looking for a shallow pool I can use for her to learn to swim. Barry must think that you can help." (Y/N) smiled back at her.
