It's Not The Raptor DNA

Chapter 33

A/N

I'm baaaaaaack!

And I had a great time, seriously though the vacation ended on a great note; Portuguese know how to throw parties!

Sorry I was never able to post in Cali, those hotels are possessive of their wifi; they'd give it for business reasons only.

But I appreciate your patience, so one announcement.

blackdragon21 has created another piece of artwork, and I really encourage you guys to go visit it; link is in my profile! It's titled 'Conspiracy'

"Second Date."

"I say we watch Batman."

"No way! We should watch Walking with Dinosaurs!"

Zach rolled his eyes at his younger brother before retorting, "Dude, we are literally on an island full of dinosaurs; you can go walk with Elise after the movie."

Elise rested her head on the cement ground as the two continued to bicker in the Observatory Room. Owen and Claire had already left to go get dinner, and they promised to come back with some food. Zach had brought what he called a laptop, and a projector. They wanted to watch movies, and Elise was curious as to what they were.

Zach and Gray had worked together quite smoothly until it was time to actually start the movie. Elise had given up on trying to help reach peace with the two; they argued worse than Echo and Blue. Elise gave a small sigh, but flickered her gaze over when Gray finally said, "Elise can be the tiebreaker."

Elise did not want to be the tiebreaker when she didn't even know what a movie was. However, she was the Alpha of this pack, and Owen had left her in charge. Alpha Claire had entrusted hatchlings from her own pack to Elise's care, and that meant she had to do more than simply make sure they didn't die.

She had to keep the peace here.

Elise puffed air through her nose as she focused on the two boys glaring at each other competitively. She could see both getting ready to sell their movie in a more appealing way. Elise began to carefully tap her index on her chest when Zach grinned as he said, "Alright, I say Batman. It's awesome! It's about a rich badass who protects the city of Gotham from evil after his parents were murdered when he was little. He fights all kind of evil, especially the Joker. Batman has this awesome cape that looks like a bat's wings, and his mask looks like a bat head too. The effects are amazing."

Elise blinked as she tried to make sense of that scenario. It sounded like a child with identity crisis. Why had no other adults tried to tell this child he was not a bat? Elise wasn't sure if she would be able to follow that story, but Gray suddenly said, "Batman is an action movie, but Walking with Dinosaurs is a documentary. It's a movie that teaches you about dinosaurs. It shows what we think the world looked like when dinosaurs ruled the earth."

Elise was interested in that; she wanted to learn about others of her kind. Gray had been very helpful in his theories with what she was made of. Granted, several of the words went over her head, but it was fun to learn. Elise almost went with that, but Zach added, "Batman has explosions, and the Joker is the best villain; he totally messes with your head."

...Elise kind of like action. She wanted to see an amazing villain. Now she was torn. Damn it, Zach and Gray were both excellent salesmen. They grinned at her excitedly, and Elise puffed air through her nose before pointing to the both of them.

They would watch both movies; she wanted to see both.

Zach and Gray blinked at her before grinning widely. Elise was satisfied to smell the peace growing again, and Zach asked, "Is your movie shorter? We'll watch it first if it is."
