The helicopter ride back to the Costa Rican mainland was uncomfortable and packed, but also slightly enjoyable because I was sandwiched between Lex and Ellie, both of whom tried to hide it but were definitely very cuddly.
Dad didn't seem to have a problem with Ellie snuggling as close to me as she possibly could without sitting in my lap, something that I'm sure Lex wouldn't have been okay with if she had done it, because that is currently her spot while she leans over me and has a whispered conversation with Charlotte about her crazyDinosaur Cowboy boyfriend, but it's okay because I'm crazy in a hot and cute boyfriend way.
Which are words I never thought I'd hear from a woman who cloned herself…but hey, it's not like I knew enough about her situation to even begin to understand why she didn't make a baby the natural way, honestly I didn't even like the part in the movie where Wu drops the boom that Charlotte cloned herself.
I preferred the version of a grieving father unable to cope with the loss of his baby girl, resurrecting his dead daughter through cloning and trying to replicate the life she had lived previously, though that was a flawed plan because Maisie could never be Charlotte just like Charlotte could never be Maisie.
On another note I'm not really all that comfortable with Ellie's cuddly attitude, not after she's been looking at me so differently since first the power station and now with Rexy, I felt the cuddling meant something more for her then just a little bit of comfort for the both of us.
Tim on the other hand was making his move on Jessica Harding, okay truthfully the kid is sleeping with his head resting on her tits, while sitting on her lap, but she doesn't seem to mind and has even wrapped an arm around the kid to hold him in place, Muldoon gave up a seat for me to sit in, said he'd rather dangle his legs over the pond than have to sit so close together with anyone…especially Malcolm.
Hammond is up front in the co-pilot chair, having Lex sit on my lap is honestly not the most comfortable thing and it's not because she's heavy…but because well, I'm seventeen and she's gorgeous, so you know, no boner control whatsoever.
Arriving at an Ingen helipad near the beach teams of medical staff in bright emergency responders colors wait for us, Lex's mother is here and hovers over children hugging and kissing them for dear life and then repeating the same process with Charlotte, before her governess, who is fucking gorgeous mind you and her Father Sir Lockwood embrace the girl.
A man in maybe his early fortes with a blonde girl with a nice body but with a swelling belly from pregnancy walks over to Lex, Tim and their mother.
And Lex's happy smile at reuniting with her mother vanishes, "Why are you here, with her?! You left us to make a new family, you're not wanted here!" Lex screams at her father and as I'm about to go over there and be whatever comfort I can be for Tim and Lex my Dad rests his hand on my shoulder, I turn to look at him and he shakes his head slightly telling me not to get involved, I want to ignore him but also feel that he's right.
"Oh shit!" I mutter my mouth dropping open as Lex decks the man with a left hook, when he tries to step forward and hug her, I shake my dad's hand off of my shoulder and start to move closer, the man's face turns red lip split and bleeding he starts raising his hand to hit her as his teenaged pregnant secretary looks like she's about to pounce on Lex as well, Lex's mother is yelling at her ex-husband not to touch her daughter
The world seems to slow down and I move faster than I did when running towards Dad and Tim were about to be eaten or when I was leading Rexy away from everyone else, moving Lex behind me, receiving a shocked cry of surprise from the girl as suddenly I'm standing in front of her.
Lex and Tim's father's closed fist connects with my jaw and there is a cracking of bones. The man cries out in pain and grabs his wrist with his left hand.
"My turn." I say and my right fist connects with his jaw. I feel his jaw bone break against my knuckles, teeth and blood spray from his mouth on his way to the ground, Lex's screamed no, "No Alec, don't do it, he's not worth it!"
"Ahh, shit." I groan as I look at the man knocked out cold on the ground with blood leaking out of his mouth and his right cheek sunken inwards.
Muldoon bursts into laughter from behind me, my dad lets out a resigned sigh, others are just looking on in shock.
Tim is the one who breaks the silence that has descended over the helipad, "Holy Shit, you just knocked him out!" Tim exclaims and I look at him. The kid is smiling at me, a couple of Ingen security guards come over and try putting me in handcuffs but Hammond waves them away.
Tim's mother gasps, "Timothy Alexander Murphy, watch your language young man or I'll rinse your mouth out with dish soap!" She hollers at Tim but Tim giggles happily.
I feel Lex poking me just between my shoulder blades rather insistently, I suddenly feel really worried that this would be the end of our very short lived relationship.
"That's what you deserve for trying to hit my daughter, you piece of shit." Lex and Tim's mom curses drawing a mock gasp of surprise from Tim, "Mommy you swore, does that mean your mouth is going to get rinsed out with dish soap?" Tim asks in such a mockingly adorable way, I didn't know how to feel but I definitely laughed.
I hear Lex's mother start to say something back to the little smartass but I zone out as my eyes meet Lex's they're watery with fresh tears, yet she's smiling at me.
"Hug me." Lex mutters as she hugs me around my chest, interlocking her arms behind me and presses her face against my naked chest, I wrap my arms around her and feel her crying against me, which makes me run my right hand along her hair giving her head pets.
"I'm not Rexy." I hear her muffled exclamation and am about to stop, "I didn't say stop." comes an offended/muffled exclamation from Lex, making me chuckle.
Feeling a tap against my shoulder I turn my head slightly and find Lex's mom who looks like Lindsay Lohan will in her late 30's but with red hair like her daughters.
"Hi I'm Lisa, Tim and Alexis's mom, it's so nice to meet you, Tim has been telling me about you, and all that you've done for him and Alexis, and I am eternally grateful to you as a mother of these two, and don't mean to sound rude but my daughter needs to get checked by the doctors." Lisa says and Lex groans out,
"Mmmooommm, not now!"
"Don't get lippy with me young lady just because you have a boyfriend now, you are my daughter and, I'm the boss of you." Lisa retorts in the most motherly way I can imagine.
"Ughh, you're the worst!" Lex groans and reluctantly breaks the hug and begins to get escorted away by her mother with members of the medical staff, and Tim.
Tim let's go of his mother's hand and gives me a hug, "You'll come see us later right?" Tim asks shyly, "Of course buddy, now you better go get looked over." I reply to Tim honestly.
"Now that they are away, I believe it is time for us to discuss the future of Jurassic Park with you at it's helm." Hammond says as he walks up beside me, Dad clears his throat.
"With your father present of course." Hammond clears his throat and includes dad.
"I'll need full legal representation and council that is independent from you and Ingen that is solely concentrated on me and what's best for me." I reply to Hammond who's eyes gain a bit of a cold glimmer to them before the first genuine smile I think the man has given me appears on his face.
"I think you and I are a lot alike in many ways Alec, it will be a pleasure to be in business with you."

Okay so after this I'm thinking of a six or so month time skip where in that time MC will come into possession of the Costa Rican island chain meaning Site A-E, and the site in San Diego, and the Jurassic Park name, and have ownership of all current and future assets made with prehistoric DNA through an Ingen and Horizon Industries which will be mc's companies actual name, partrnship.
Ingen will own 30% of MC's company split among it's board members, and three out of nine board positions, while mc will hold onto 51% of the company and have his own board with Alan, Ellie and Muldoon on it.
