Own Nothing

chapter one


"I read your email, you got two free tickets to Jurassic World's newest attraction." Darcy stated over the phone as she sorted through her own email.

Dr. Ian Malcolm sighed and she pictured that he was pinching the bridge of his nose like he always did when she brings of the park. "You hacked my email?"

"I have been since I was older enough to understand binary codes." She replied as she deleted some old emails. "So are you going to go? Sounds deadly." She smirked.

"You couldn't pay me enough to go back on that island. I don't care if Sarah went back, I don't care if they paid me a millions of dollars."

"What about Kelly?" She asked him. "She went to Site B. Or what if I went to the Island?"

"Darcy Annabeth Lewis-Malcolm." He broke out her full name. "Don't you dare go on those Islands."

She broke out into a grin. Dr. Ian Malcolm was her father, though her mother raised her most of her life. They divorced when Darcy was a baby and her parents never gotten along all that well, but Darcy loved her dad and she loved to harass him for stories about the Park. "Come on, they haven't had an incident since, well the last one." She looked over her notes for the next meeting with Pepper.

"Exactly, they're due for one." He replied.

She snorted. "Dad." She opened up his email and looked through the message. "The Indominus Rex." She hummed. "I wonder what I can find out about it. What InGen is hiding about it?"

"Darcy." Ian warned.

"You always say life finds a way Dad, this is me, finding a way." She smirked into the phone.

"They'll know you're there." He stated. "And they'll come for you."

She snorted. "I'm protected by F.R.I.D.A.Y, right F.R.I.D.A.Y?"

"Of course Ms. Lewis." The Ai stated. "Shall I inform Mr. Stark of your mischief?"

Darcy paused and thought of it for a moment. "If you have to think about it, you shouldn't do it." Her Dad stated.

"I'm going to do it anyway." She replied. "Is he doing important Science!?" Darcy asked the AI.

F.R.I.D.A.Y. paused for a moment before informing Darcy. "Sir said that when you are done talking to your Father he will see down in the shop. Mischief will begin in twenty minutes."

Darcy cackled. "Oh I love this job."

"I'm calling your Mother." He stated.

"Call Sarah first." Darcy stated. "You know you miss her, and she'll tell you that I'm right. Sticking it to InGen is a wonderful idea."

He sighed. "If this works, I want you home for Christmas."

"Jokes on you, I was already going to be home." She replied.

"I will come up to New York and ground you young lady."

She smiled and laughed. "I'll be careful, love you Dad."

"Be safe and call your sister, she'll lonely since her husband Steven went overseas." He stated.

"I'll call her later today." She promised and hung up. She read through the email again and frowned, something felt wrong about the new dinosaur and she was going to get to the bottom of it.


"I solemnly swear that I'm up to no good." Tony stated as Darcy walked into his shop.

"Mischief managed." As she set the coffee on the desk right next to his hand, the closest so far that she's gotten to him allowing her to hand him something. He snatched it up before her hand even left it cup, she counted it as a win.

"So what are we doing today? Robbing banks? Saving Shamu?" He swiveled in his chair as he watched her type on his tablet bringing up the screen. The email from her Dad pop up. "Hacking into your Dad's account? Does he have porn?"

"I already checked, he knows better to keep it on the computer, besides, he and Sarah are going pretty good." She replied with a shrug.

Tony stared up at her with a smirk. "I thought you did Political Science?"

"I also have a Masters in IT." She replied. "It's just under my full name, I dropped the second last name because of InGen. I don't like them sniffing around me."

"Uh-uh. F.R.I.D.A.Y."

"On it boss." The AI pulled up Darcy's history, both under Darcy Lewis and under Darcy Lewis-Malcolm, daughter of Elizabeth Lewis and Dr. Ian Malcolm. GED at 16, earned a Master's degree in IT, a PHD in paleontology and then a BS in political Science.

"Oh my god, you're a dino kid."

She snorted and opened up the email she needed. "We are hacking into Jurassic World."

"Does Daddy want revenge?" He asked her with a maniac smile.

She rolled her eyes and enlarged the info about the new dinosaur. "Indominus Rex is going to be unveiled in May and they already pre-sold tickets."

"Simon gave Pepper and me free ones, what of it?"

"I want to know what it is." She looked at him. "It sounds deadly and it sounds like something InGen would do to create a weapon."

He frowned and looked at the email. "So you want to hack into their servers, honey badger around for information." His finger tapped the side of his coffee cup as he took a drink of it slowly. He sighed contently and smiled. "I like it. And we could wager him for it."

"What?" Darcy stared at him. "No."

"Yes, we get the park if it goes off and kills people, if not then he gets something that he wants, I don't know. Captain America for the day." He smirked evilly.

"I don't think Steve will go for that." Darcy stared at him. "Tony." She pinched her nose, just like her Dad does when she gets to him and sighs. "Why don't we make a deal with him?"

He groaned like a five year old and looked at her. "I'm listening."

She gave him a pointed look that a teacher would give a student. "You're all about saving the world and I'm not talking about the Avenging. I'm talking about going green and helping the Earth."

He kicked his chair away and looked away from her as he sipped his coffee. "So?"

"They have the technology and the science! to recreate dinosaurs, so why don't we find a way to partner with them and see if we can't being back other extinct animals, or ones on the extinct species list. They can be cultivated on the island or one near it with scientists that can be trusted and then partner with governments around the world, we replenish them into sanctuaries where they can't be hunted or killed."

He thought about it and nodded. "That's not a bad idea Lewis-Malcolm."

"You can just say Darcy. Dad only breaks out the full name when I'm in trouble." She stated. "So you want to hack them?"

"Hell, let's do it." He set his coffee down. "You brought me coffee, we're going to fight a dinosaur, it'll be fun." He smirked at her. "F.R.I.D.A.Y. music please."


A few weeks later Darcy shifted uneasily in her seat of the helicopter as she and Tony flew to the control center of Jurassic World. "Dad is going to kill me." She whispered.

Tony snorted. "If the dinos don't do it first." He smirked at her. "Don't worry, funeral costs are covered by SI."

"I hate you so much right now. I should've gone to Pepper." She whispered as she closed her eyes as the helicopter descended.

"Then we wouldn't be having this much fun." He replied in a hushed tone. He looked out the window to see Simone Masrani standing near the door leading in from the landing pad with a red haired woman. "Look, he's got himself a Pepper."

Darcy opened her eyes and looked out the window. "That's Claire Dearing, she's the Park Operations Manager. Graduated from Stanford, oldest child, parents are deceased."

"You were supposed to hack the site, not the people Lewis." Tony stated as one of the crew chiefs opened the doors when the helicopter landed.

"You got to know the playing field." She stated loudly as she grabbed her bag and got off first and he followed her. They met Simon and Claire halfway.

"Tony Stark and you brought your assistant?" Simon smiled down at her. "I was sure you would bring Pepper with you."

Tony smiled at him. "This is Darcy. She's the official Avenger Handler, we're not trusted to go off alone by ourselves and Pep couldn't come with me." He nodded to Claire who watched from the side.

"This is Claire Dearing, my Park Operations Manager." Simon introduced them. "She can give you a tour if you would like."

"Actually, I wanted to talk business with you." Tony looked at him. He turned to Darcy who nodded and then back at Simon. "You have somewhere we can talk just the three of us?"

Simon nodded and led them inside. He allowed Claire go about her day as he led them into his office. "So what would you like to discuss?"

"You have a new dinosaur premiering this May?" Darcy started as she choose to stand. Tony and Simon sat down in the chairs by the desk. "Indominus Rex."

Simon looked up at her, confused for a moment and then at Tony. "Yes, we've also sold some tickets. I've given out a few free ones. You and Pepper have them as well." Tony nodded. "What is the problem?"

"It's deadly." Darcy stated. "I bet that before you even open her exhibit, she'll break out and she will kill people."

"I'd put a wager on it." Tony stated as he stared at Simon.

"What is the meaning of this?" Simon asked.

Darcy sighed and lifted up her bag to pull out a file. "Let's start this again. This is our proposal. We would like to form a partnership with Masrani Group and the Stark Foundation to help the Earth." She handed him the packet. "You have the technology and the research, we have the funds and the connections, we would like to form a sanctuary for replenish the extinct species list."

Simon looked at her before he opened the file and looked over the information, he read through the page before turning it over to the next one. "What you are proposing, we would need another Island to house these animals on until they could be given to their rightful governments, and then they would need medical care that we do not have here." He read through the file. "You have plans for that. Vets picked out, land ideal in countries needed for the animals." He closed the file and looked at them. "You had this planned extremely well before coming to me, why?"

"Now, we're back to the deadly animal in your petting zoo." Tony stated.

Darcy sighed and looked at her boss and then back at Simon who was looking at her. "Because your park is always going to be in danger of being a threat to human life, it's in the name, Jurassic World. You can take all the precautions that you want. But that Indominus Rex, is deadly and she is smart, you made her that way." She stared back at him. "She will find a way out. So this, will help take the burn out of the fire. If we can get this off the ground, or at least in the works, to show that you want to put as much back into the Earth as much as the joy you want to give its people. It'll be something."

"That's really sweet Lewis." Tony replied.

Darcy tilted her head in annoyance. "I normally have Pepper for business meetings." She told Simon.

"I can believe that." Simon smiled at her. "But he has a good point and so do you. I will look this over with my lawyers and I will have a contract sent over to you by the end of this week." He looked at Tony. "What made you think to look into my Dinosaur?"

"You sent tickets to my Dad." Darcy stated

Simon looked at her then at Tony. Both she and Tony made a face. "Ew." They both stated.

"No, Dr. Ian Malcolm, he's my Dad." Darcy stated. "My name is Darcy Lewis-Malcolm."

Simon's eyes widened. "Oh, that explained it. We looked into you, I was very interested in hiring you Ms. Malcolm."

"Just Darcy is fine." She replied but he didn't hear her because he already turned to Tony.

"Perhaps a wager should be in order." Simon stated as he stood up.

"What?" Darcy looked at them both as Tony smirked and stood up to match him.

"Your park if anyone dies because of the newbie." Tony stated.

"Ms. Malcolm if no one does within six months on either side of the reveal." Simon stated.

Tony paused as Darcy stared at them. "No, don't I have a say in this?" She asked them.

"Shh." Tony hushed her. "We're making history here, we're getting ourselves a theme park." He reached his hand out and actually shook Simon's hand. "Deal."

"Deal." Simon agreed.

"I hate you." Darcy whispered as she glared at Tony. "You were supposed to give him Captain America for a day."

"You're better." Simon stated. "Much better."

"I should've just told Pepper." She whispered to herself.
