The pilot for Harsh Realm premiered on October 8, 1999. Fox, happy with the success of the X-Files, granted the green light for the Chris Carter created show, but then pulled the plug after only 9 episodes. The show centered around a virtual reality world called Harsh Realm. Creators of the comic Harsh Realm (James D Hudnall and Andrew Paquette) sued Fox for not receiving any credit.

Art getting GANGBANGED💜

This made me giggle when you sent it anon, I won’t lie <3 Then I thought oh god now I have to write it. So here you are. I am so sorry for this. I don’t know what this is (it’s quite nonsensical). Honestly, feel like I flew too close to the sun. I need to retire from writing smut and start writing an older Art living peacefully by the sea. (Decide if that makes you want to read it or run away) But I digress…

CW: 18+ !NSFW! EXPLICIT bimbofication, feminization, objectification, D/s vibes if you squint, there can be the perception of CNC but I promise you everyone really wants this, especially blondie, but please avoid if things like gangbangs trigger you. Can feel a bit AU…let’s be generous and say canon drift…

Your reference is this post about a negligée (an impossible word to spell btw so watch me fuck it up repeatedly along with all my other spelling and grammar mistakes).

—-

It’s a game of truth or dare. That’s how the whole thing happens.

Regular and completely normal Friday night. Patrick’s visiting Stanford. The girls team is at an away game, traveling back tomorrow and the boys just finished a tournament playing the same team here and Art sends him a text.

Hanging out with friends probably gonna play video games, you should come and bring drinks.

And then 10 minutes later: I think my roommate wants to fuck me lol

Patrick has to laugh because this is actually the kind of stupid thing that could only happen to Art.

Art is already dizzy and flirty when Patrick arrives at his dorm with the alcohol. His cheeks are already coloring, his eyes are dilated. And it’s no wonder because he’s already getting way too much attention. There are three other boys in the bedroom with him, his roommate Carter who Patrick could tell, so very obviously wanted to fuck Art since he first met him. But it’s worse now ever since he woke up once in the middle of night and heard Patrick doing it.

And then two others Patrick doesn’t know but Art calls them Jamie and Max, “friends” from the Stanford tennis team. Patrick clocks them right away as having the same desire to fuck Art that Carter has.

That kind of male attention makes Art go silly. At this point Art doesn’t even need a drink. He’s half lost, giggling at things that aren’t even funny just because some cute boy is touching his knee, pinching his cheek, calling him pretty. Patrick’s hard immediately.

It’s truth or dare, Carter’s idea, and Patrick’s probably drinking too much. The game gets nasty pretty quickly. Art can’t sit still, he’s on his hands and knees when Max says “I dare you to kiss me.” Can’t stop himself when Jamie dares him to do it again, but with tongue. He’s in his t-shirt and boxers, ass sticking out as he crawls over Patrick’s lap to kiss Jamie. Carter’s adjusting himself, mouth open, staring at it. Patrick thinks once or twice about letting them pass him around. Shit like this is usually foreplay for him but right now he’s feeling so buzzed he might just want to see how deep this rabbit hole goes.

He’s horny as fuck, but his brain doesn’t actually break until Art’s roommate says, “Truth or Dare, roomie, is it true you stole your ex-girlfriend's lingerie?"

“I didn’t steal it,” Art hiccups, he’s distracted because Max runs his fingers through Art’s hair on his way back to the circle, with a new drink which he hands to Art. He cups Arts cheek, fingertips brush against his lips. Art’s whining “stop it,” but Patrick sees the way he follows the touch. Art doesn’t even notice it when Patrick takes the drink out of his hand, because he’s dangerously close to spilling it everywhere. He’s not even drunk, barely even tipsy and still just so empty headed.

Carter goes to Art’s Stanford issued dresser and pulls out this thing from the first drawer. Barely a thing. A pink little slip of a thing. “What’s this?”

“She let me have it,” Art says, voice pitched too high. He’s sitting on his knees, hands pressed between his thighs.

”Why?” Carter asks, like he knows something they don’t know. Patrick thinks he likes him the least.

“You said you wouldn’t tell anyone,” Art says, it’s too whiny and playful.

Patrick’s mildly annoyed now, “Share with the class,” he says. He doesn’t really want Art keeping secrets with roommates that aren’t him.

Art goes all compliant and he’s squirming on the floor as he looks at Patrick, “She said it looked better on me.”

Both Max and Jamie start snickering.

Patrick thinks of himself as a genius. He generally thinks he’s the smartest person in the room most of the time, but this has to be one of the smartest things he’s ever said or done ever. In ever. “Okay…I dare you to try it on.”

“You want me too?” Art asks, glassy eyed, as he gazes at Patrick.

Patrick grabs at his t-shirt and he doesn’t even have to pull. Art just gravitates towards him, closing his eyes, parting his lips instinctively and Patrick thinks he’s in love with him. Like one day he’ll probably marry him, move him into a house with a white picket fence and fuck him so full of come that… etcetera etcetera. The American dream.

“Yeah, put it on sweetie.” Patrick says gently. “Call me when you’re done… I want to see it first.”

Art licks his lips and opens his eyes again before he stumbles to his feet. He tries to take it from Carter but Carter hides it behind his back which means Art’s got to reach around him, touch him, play with him. When Art manages to get it away he’s already blushing. He goes in the bathroom, telling them no one better laugh. And Patrick needs a cigarette. Needs to run a marathon or climb a mountain for all the pent up energy inside him right now.

“You his boyfriend or something?” Max asks, curiously.

“Or something,” Patrick says. Truth is Art only started putting out after he found out Tashi was. And as long as Patrick has wanted to fuck Art he’s never really stopped to think about why Art chose now. Patrick isn’t picky. He’s not picky at all. He’ll fuck Art, he’ll fuck Tashi, he’d fuck them both at the same time if they wanted it.

“Can you share?” Carter asks.

Patrick shrugs, “I think I have been.”

“No I mean really share,” Carter says and he stares at the bathroom door.

Patrick smirks. “I think I need another drink.”

He can hear Art calling for him and when he taps the door to let himself in he’s pretty sure that’s the moment— the exact moment— his brain fully and completely short circuits. From that point forward he’s actually an entirely different person.

“It’s just too…” Art whines, unable to think. He’s sitting on the toilet lid bouncing his leg. The blush goes everywhere. Down his chest to the pink lacy teddy. It fits like a glove. It’s hugging his waist, see through sheer fabric over his chest embroidered with with some kind of threading that would barely hide his tits if he had any. Patrick can clearly see his nipples, taut and erect through the sheer fabric. It’s not the only part of him that’s erect. The equally sheer lace panties underneath the negligée are straining to keep him contained and he’s fucking soaking the lace with precum, so wet, Patrick thinks, leaking through his panties like a fucking girl.

Patrick thinks he’s gonna fuck him right there. Pull him on his lap and go fucking crazy.

“Patrick I—I wanna— I need—“ he stammers, helpless. He’s gone full, if I only had a brain.

“Yeah, it’s okay,” Patrick says, swallowing thickly. “I know what you need. Come here.”

Art’s still bouncing his leg, he’s got pretty legs, soft and smooth and toned and so long. Still in his nearly knee high white socks. Fucking slut. Patrick guides him to his feet, and immediately Art’s wrapping his arms around Patrick. Patrick can feel the way he’s starting to rub himself along Patrick’s thigh. The wet hot heat of him. Patrick shoves Art up against the wall to stop him and he takes a deep breath, coming to the distant realization that he’s actually shivering. “Can you hear me?” Patrick asks, probably trying to calm himself down more than anything else.

Art nods.

“You hear my voice?”

“Mmhm. Patrick—- Patrick please I need—“

“I know. You need to be fucked, don’t you baby?” Patrick’s not sure what he’s saying but Art just moans. “Fuck. You don’t even care who fucking does it. You’d let anybody in right now.” Patrick continues.

Art is nodding his head. ”Mm, yes Patrick please, please, please—” he groans, begging, pleading. For one terrifying minute Patrick thinks he’s gonna get on his knees in that slutty little slip and break Patrick forever. His eyes are all glassy and wet and he’s trying to get friction, attention, something, his blonde curls falling into his eyes.

“Oh fuck it, come on,” Patrick says and he opens the door. Art walks timidly into the bedroom. Patrick stays a second longer to look for the lube under the counter and finds a box of unopened condoms too. The second he stayed was too long. Carter’s already got Art pressed up against the wall, tongue in his mouth, Jamie’s got his hands inside the fabric of the negligée, rubbing his nipples like he’s got a full set of tits or something. Max is watching, touching himself, idly over his boxers.

The whole time Art’s moaning helplessly moving his hips. Needy like he’s in heat. Patrick makes them wear a condom if they want him. And holy fuck do they want him.

Patrick starts it first on the bed, pulls Art on his lap just to get him wet, get him loose. He’s careful about it. Art’s so horny he’s trying to lose it quickly so Patrick has to grab onto him, slow him down. Even him out.

“Fuck,” Art’s whining, mindlessly. “Fuck, Patrick it’s so big. It’s so big. It’s so fucking… much.”

Patrick’s rubbing his tummy through the fabric, he’s flexed so tight, barely breathing. Patrick moves up to brush his nipples and he moans.

“Hey gorgeous, you wanna try this?” Max whispers, pressing his cock to Art’s lips. “I dare you.”

Art doesn’t need the dare. He takes it in his mouth eagerly. Patrick can feel him squeezing, clenching, grinding as he sucks on it… can feel the overwhelming heat of his tight little body. Patrick grips him tighter to steady him. “Take your time,” Patrick whispers.

He’s taking so much in his mouth. Max starts groaning, “Oh fuck. Yeah, take your time gorgeous, holy shit.”

Patrick kisses on his throat where he’s swallowing and tries to coax him off. If he stays inside much longer he’s going to lose his mind and that’s the last thing he needs right now. They need at least one working brain between them.

Art’s breathing heavy when he opens his mouth, drool spilling everywhere. Patrick pushes him to get up and Carter grabs him next. He pushes him on the bed on his hands and knees and goes to town, so eager he barely lasts. As Carter’s fucking him Art is licking Jamie’s cock, and then swallowing on Max’s, occassionally both at the same time. Patrick is sitting on the other twin bed, trying his best not to lose it untouched for how fucking hot this is. Art is so far gone Patrick wonders if he even realizes how much of a fucking mess he is.

He’s got it all over him, hands, tongues, cock. They’re all kissing, touching, putting fingers in his hair, in his mouth, in his ass. Jamie and Carter both fighting to get a turn. Jamie fucking him till he’s coming, hot sticky ropes of it dripping, dripping slowly from his soaked panties onto the bed. He’s overstimulated taking Max, but he doesn’t stop. He’s pushing back on it, moaning in a way that sounds like he’s vacillating between pleasure and pain.

Carter starts kissing him and eventually Arts just moaning into his mouth.

“You’re so goddamn pretty,” Jamie’s cooing, jerking himself. “Gonna make me wanna nut again, fuck.”

Art’s making pleasure sounds only now. His cock filling up again just a few minutes before Max is finishing inside him.

“Shit, that felt so fucking good,” Max breathes. Art looks around dizzy as Max pulls out and starts tying the condom off. And then Carter’s on him, kissing him again, so he sits up and crawls into Carter’s arms so he can be held. But Patrick grabs him by the waist.

“My turn, come here, princess,” Patrick says, teasingly, pulling him back onto the second bed. His bed.

“Patrick—I think I— I need to—“ Art’s climbing onto him all doe eyed and wet, wet lips, wet eyes, wet with sweat and come and lube. The lingerie falling off one shoulder and his pretty pink nipple just exposed. Patrick nibbles at it gently.

“Patrick,” Art whines.

“You wanna come?” Patrick asks softly. His voice doesn’t sound like his own. He pulls Art onto his lap and eases himself inside and Art’s moving right away. He feels looser than Patrick’s ever felt him before but he’s still so nice and warm, and too fucking tight for him. He’s not ever to be trusted alone with boys, Patrick decides. Not boys like this at least. He just barely gets Art over the finish line when he’s losing it. It’s not even 5 minutes and he’s losing it. Does it raw just to spill it all inside him. If Patrick had something to prove he might be embarrassed but he is the one holding onto Art in the end, soothing him. Calming him down as he comes back to reality and in that reality Art is his…even if Patrick is more than willing to share when Art needs it.

When the other boys have left and Carter’s in the shower and they’re finally alone together Art is mostly back to himself. They’re eating leftover pizza and watching Sports Center. Art is devouring his, probably starving after using all of that energy. Patrick tangles his fingers into Art's hair, it’s still a little damp from the shower.

“Truth or dare,” Patrick says

“Truth,” Art says, his mouth half full.

Patrick sighs. “I don’t know what that was but you’re fucking beautiful.”

Art turns to look at Patrick with a little smirk, still chewing. “I know.”

“And you can’t ever do that when I’m not there.”

“I know,” Art says again.

“So I’m keeping the lingerie.”

Art shrugs, “I know.”

“Okay know it all,” Patrick gazes back at him and then takes the rest of the pizza crust out of his hand, smiling as he takes a bite. “Good.”

PRONOUNS ;

PERSONALITY ;

sullen and rude, but very bold and impulsive, the only thing she's really more closed off about is her feelings for Jonathan Byers. she's willing to put herself in harms way for her friends and the people she loves, even if it means self sacrifice.

MAIN SHIP ;

Jonathan Byers — ship name; Jellie

FACE CLAIM ;

Katie Douglas

GENERAL BACKSTORY ;

1975 — Escaped the lab with Kali/008, but got separated from her once they reached the city of Chicago, and got taken in by the police. 1976-1980/1981 — She got adopted by the Barnes family in Chicago lived there for a few years before her family moved to Hawkins, where her father grew up, just before she turned 14. Her parents never knew about her powers. 1981-1984 — When she moved to Hawkins, she made friends with Jonathan Byers, Eddie Munson, and basically nobody else because people thought she was weird, despite not knowing about her powers, which she keeps quite hidden. She got a fast crush on Jonathan, but keeps that hidden too, because of his feelings for Nancy Wheeler. She had no idea about El or the Upside Down, Jonathan didn't tell her to keep her safe. 1985 — She didn't end up displaying her powers to her friends until Nancy and Jonathan were attacked by part of the Mind Flayer in the hospital, she'd only followed them there because she had a feeling Jonathan wasn't telling her something. She had to explain to her friends who she was and what happened, and that she had no intention of ever revealing this until her friends were being attacked. She and El understood their rekindled sisterly bond, and made a pact to always work together when combating the Upside Down. She felt guilty when El's powers drained, and tried to stop the Mind Flayer from harming El, but was knocked unconscious until Billy sacrificed himself for El, so she felt powerless herself. Once the battle of Starcourt ended, and the evil was (temporarily) vanquished, Nellie had a hard time dealing with Jonathan moving away. 1986 — With Jonathan gone, she was spending most of her time with Eddie and The Hellfire Club in general, she doesn't play D&D but she enjoyed watching Eddie lead his campaigns. She also tried to be there for Max, seeing as she felt so guilty over Billy's death. Nellie was looking just as forward to Jonathan coming for spring break as Nancy, but ultimately fell disappointed when he never showed. The night of Chrissy's demise, Nellie was on her way to Eddie's when she saw him speeding out of the parking lot in his van, and followed him over to Reefer Rick's to try and find out what happened. Seeing how scared he was, she tried to offer him some comfort. She couldn't remember why, but something about Chrissy's death was vaguely familiar to her. She tried over and over again to contact Jonathan, but he was responding to her about as much as he was responding to Nancy. Without any response from the Byers, and with El's powers still gone (to her knowledge), the fate of Hawkins seemed to be up to her this time, whether she was ready for it or not. She also fell fate to Vecna's warning, having gone through the Upside Down with Steve, Nancy, Eddie, Robin, and Willa, just before she hopped out, she was in that trance- Vecna greeted her as "Nine" and shared his great plans, scaring the hell out of her. But it also made her angrier than ever, ready to use her powers by any means necessary. She knew her powers alone weren't strong enough to stop Vecna, but as part of team distraction, she was able to save Eddie's life.

One Less Headache

A red light flashed. An annoying beep cut through Chloe Grant’s sleep. An alarm.

Not the kind of alarm she set on a clock to time her napping, but an alert. It had been weeks of onboarding at Future Proof, with several drills and exercises to drive home how headquarters operated.

Sleep remained an ethereal haze while the beeping continued. A remnant of a dream floated on the boundary between her mind and reality. Every time she opened another drawer to look for a corkscrew, she kept finding only more kitchen knives. Her dinner date was getting impatient while she searched each drawer, and only found more useless knives. It was as annoying as the beeping alarm, bleeding into the dream somehow.

The alert. An alert so subtle when it resounded in the offices. It barely reflected the loud klaxons and red flashing lights that must have been going off underground at the same time, in the bottom levels, shielded by layers of earth and metal.

Alert. Chloe Grant stopped searching drawers for a corkscrew. The dinner date in her dream could wait. She snapped out of her haze and sat up on her office’s couch. The date and the drawers and everything else hadn’t been real. Only the beeping.

Red alert. Her computer’s screen flashed. It had reactivated itself.

Red alert. All hands on deck.

Consciousness cut through the haze, dispelling the last of its unreal imagery. She slipped into her sneakers and rushed out of her office.

She ran into Rida Singh on the elevator down. His hairdo looked like she felt, like the alert had also risen him from slumber in his own office. On second glance, however, both avoiding eye contact with each other, she noted the sheen of hair product, and how his messy ‘do appeared to be deliberate in its styling.

Grant sighed, lifting a foot to smooth out the crease in her sneaker—it had been smooshed from hastily donning the shoes, now fitting snugly around her heel.

“It’s gonna be something big,” he muttered with a sidelong glance.

“Huh?”

“Gonna be something big, Grant. Haven’t had an alarm like this since, well, uh… I’ll shut up now, you don’t have a frame of reference, do you?”

He shook his head, staring at the silvery doors of the elevator in front of them.

The ride down was long, and slow. The ready room for such emergencies awaited deep down from the upper-level offices, deep underground, which only the top echelon of personnel ever accessed with their black-tier keycards.

Grant arched a brow and said, “Come on. I’ve had nothing to do but study docs on previous field ops all week. Odds are, I know what you’re referencing.”

Singh swallowed. Cast another furtive sideways glance at her.

He licked his lips and said, “’Kay. Well, last time we had a sitch like this was when Air Force One—"

“Pterodactyls. And the US government is breathing down Spencer’s neck ever since.”

“Yup.” Singh furrowed his brows and sighed. “Haven’t had a red alert like that since.”

DING, the elevator sang. Minus two. Silvery doors whooshed open.

Red lights flashed on the walls and klaxons blared, just like her unconscious mind had put together, drilled into Grant’s mind by repeated drills in recent weeks.

Grant and Singh stormed out with hasty steps, soon arriving in the ready room, which Carter had referred to as “the war room” to Grant.

Speaking of which, Max Carter leaned against a wall on the side of the room where they entered. Most of field operations had gathered there: Mischchenko stood by the table with crossed arms, flanked by Pruitt, who had a toothpick sticking out of the corner of his mouth. They both nodded at Grant in greeting.

Ruiz was absent.

All heads of R&D had also assembled in the ready room: Doctors Burch, Trémaux, Chao, and Solomon all stood on the side opposite the field operators.

At the head of the long table, Danielle Bennett from IT and Marcus Stantz, the company’s resident spin doctor, flanked Malachi Spencer. The CEO himself stood there like a gargoyle. Dressed in another one of his expensive three-piece suits, the tall, knife-shaped man stared daggers at Singh and Grant for arriving late.

He unhooked his thumbs from his pockets, then gestured to the array of screens projected onto the table’s surface.

“Good, you’re all here. Please direct your attention to—”

“Ruiz still on vacay?” Carter grumbled.

Pruitt nodded, nobody else commented. Spencer glared at Carter. The burly, bearded young man shrugged in response, seemingly without caring if he offended the CEO himself.

Bennett thumbed on her phone with blind routine. The klaxons stopped blaring outside the ready room.

“We have a situation here in Texas.” Spencer got right to the point. He always got the point, as sharply as all his syllables dropped. He waved a hand over the screen in front of him on the table, enlarging satellite images and photography of the area. “This is Midland. A Tyrannosaurus Rex and a Hadrosaurus are currently rampaging across the outskirts of the city, near old, abandoned oil fields.”

The briefing washed over Chloe Grant in a blur. Waves of concern, lapping at her from every side, both from the people in the ready room, and from within the wells of her own thoughts.

Flashes and glimpses of the on-screen data kept coming back to her while she and the field operations team geared up in the locker rooms, arming up with their EMD rifles and soon rushing to the helipad.

Spencer displayed no hectic during the briefing. He informed them of the problems at hand. Grant had a pit in her stomach with every subsequent sentence, because it wouldn’t only be their operators in the field this time—Stantz, Singh, Doctor Burch, and Doctor Solomon would be joining them for this mission.

Civilians.

Grant loathed the idea of having to babysit these four, all of them clearly untrained in combat. Carter even voiced his protest thereof, speaking what Grant felt brewing in her gut, but Spencer immediately shut him down.

PR needed to act on-site immediately to prevent a news media meltdown. They’d need Singh to operate as a forward IT relay for Bennett in the field if they needed to hack any systems. Burch, the head paleontologist, was in demand to assess handling the dinosaurs, and Solomon as the chief of engineering needed to ensure their tech worked without a hitch this time, unlike the last op.

It all caught up to Grant as she zipped up her black armored bodysuit.

She had a terrible feeling about how this was going to go.

The T-Rex had already claimed several lives in Midland. Carter swore under his breath, and the blank stares from Mischchenko and Pruitt spoke their own volumes of shock.

Worse, the US government had dispatched a black ops team to the area. Though parts of the administration were aware of the true nature of the situation—of the Anomalies, and the dinosaur incursions—Future Proof now needed to expect the military entangling the private company in a pissing contest.

This shit had hit the fan in their own backyard of Texas, and the president of the USA had questions as to why the corporation’s Anomaly Detection system hadn’t raised any alarm any sooner.

That’s why some elite hardcases, led by a Captain Dariel Rose, were now scouring the area—and bound to get in their way.

Solomon had no explanation for the Detector’s failure, and Spencer didn’t care for excuses. He limited the briefing to a matter of minutes before sending the entire staff scrambling, racing off in every direction. Damage control was their top priority.

The EMD whined in Grant’s hands as she powered the futuristic rifle up on the way to the airlift.

Her haze dissipated by the time she sat inside the chopper, clumped up with her fellow operators and civilians alike.

Another helmeted, black-suited field operative joined them at the last second.

Ruiz.

Under the deafening noise of rotors, Ruiz hopped up to the chopper while it was already taking off, pulled up the last step by Carter, just as the airlift parted from the ground.

Nervous faces surrounded Grant. Carter swallowed all jokes about finally running into a T-Rex—Grant could sense it.

“Up to speed?” Mischchenko asked Ruiz.

He nodded without losing a word.

Grant’s digits tingled. She splayed her fingers, then curled them into fists. Ruiz displayed almost the exact same thing with his shooting hand, wiggling his fingers, like a guitarist loosening up before a performance.

Their gazes met through blackened visors, invisible to one another. Burning.

She wondered if he harbored the same uncertainty. Ruiz had been working this job for far longer than her.

Sweat beaded on Singh’s forehead. He was too much of a man to protest being sent into the field, though Spencer had communicated something clearly in sending him over Bennett to Midland.

Singh was expendable. Bennett wasn’t.

The docs on previous operations revealed as much to Grant. Every other one read like an obituary. None of the current team of operators had worked with Future Proof’s earliest crew of ex-soldiers on the payroll. And in some occasions when Spencer had civilians tag along, they wound up dead.

The generous insurance benefits now started making a lot more sense to Grant.

To her surprise, Marcus Stantz looked as calm and collected as ever. He rode the chopper in a fancy blue suit, looking eerily comfortable about their situation—even though he must have been aware of their track record—or despite knowing it. Even the headset over his ears looked like it belonged. It occurred to Grant that Stantz must have accompanied previous missions on-site before, and the fact that other dinosaur incursions had stayed out of the news spoke volumes of his skill.

Alisha Burch was the opposite of Stantz. The mousy black woman stared at the tips of her shoes for almost the entire ride. Like Singh, she had little to no field experience, and records indicated she had spent most of her time in Future Proof behind a desk and whiteboards, burying her nose in classified research on the specimens they contained downstairs.

Doctor Solomon looked almost excited. Nervous, but not in a bad way. He smoothed out the collar of his gray suit.

The team stayed almost silent on the cross-state flight. The hour felt like a day, yet somehow flew by like the landscape. The haze had lifted, the soup in Grant’s mind congealed into a solid state.

Instinct. Like back when she used to play basketball.

Feel—don’t think.

Act.

The chopper touched down, she yanked open the hatch, and hopped out first, securing the landing site with Carter and Ruiz. The rest of the team filed out after them.

Pruitt, piloting the helicopter, lifted off the very moment everybody else stood on the ground. He was their eye in the sky.

Another black helicopter circled the horizon—likely the US military’s.

The pit in Grant’s stomach never loosened.

There was one more hitch in planning and operations they had to pay attention to: the oil fields themselves. Any sort of fire could result in disaster, and they were already dealing with a Class-3 incursion.

It bordered on a miracle that local news hadn’t reported on dinosaurs rampaging in Texas yet. Before takeoff, Stantz remarked the whole city and region’s media was blacked out—quite literally, as Spencer had pulled strings with Shareholder Cole of the military-industrial complex, and gotten local authorities to shut down the area’s entire power grid.

Singh looked even more nervous after landing than he had on the flight over. He hastily set up shop in an old shack while Ruiz and Carter got a generator running to power his equipment, and Singh kept fumbling with cables and objects. He uttered a string of profanities as he repeatedly failed to plug in a USB cable.

Part of him looked grateful when Grant picked up a thermos can he knocked over in his frantic motions. She gingerly handed it back to the nerd, and he flashed a nervous smile at her expressionless black-helmeted mask.

Another part of him looked like a fish out of water. Like he was surrounded by aliens in an alien world. His face carried an air of torment, and he soon poured all his attention into portable computer screens, while he chattered away via headset with Bennett in HQ, establishing connections and setting up on-site monitoring of any camera feeds, satellite imagery, and other data streams they could intercept.

No sign of a T-Rex or Hadrosaurus. This only tightened the knot in Grant’s stomach.

How on Earth could such huge dinos evade detection like this?

Before Mischchenko could drop an order for the operators to roll out into the field, Pruitt radioed in with them.

“Got a kid running across the fields out here. Covered in blood. Over.”

“Copy that,” Mischchenko replied. “Grant, Ruiz, you’re with me. Carter, you stay put, keep watch with comms down here.”

“Fuuuck,” Carter growled. “You’re making me babysit these fuckin’ geeks?”

Stantz chortled and helped himself to a sip of coffee from Singh’s thermos, Singh was fully absorbed by Bennett’s voice on his headset and the myriads of data on-screen, Solomon muttered something of which only the word “compliment” was intelligible, and only Doctor Burch glared at Carter’s black-helmeted face upon hearing his comment.

“What, do you wanna babysit an actual kid in the field?” Mischchenko fired back.

This elicited muffled chuckles from Ruiz and Grant.

“Eh, fuck it, fair point. Have fun playing twenty questions with the kid,” Carter growled back. He shrugged and shouldered his heavy EMD rifle.

“Scanners operational,” Solomon commented from the side. “But there’s some kind of interference, maybe why we’re not detecting any Anomalies.”

“Just locate it,” said Stantz. He gulped another sip of Singh’s coffee. “The sooner we clean up this shitshow, the better.”

Carter stood guard outside the shack while Burch searched the horizon with binoculars, and the rest of field ops followed Pruitt’s directions to the fleeing child.

Minutes melted away as the ex-soldiers jogged through dusty fields.

Crops hadn’t grown out here in a long time, all wild and abandoned like weeds. Old ranches looked like graveyards. Broad daylight painted this world in yellow and brown hues.

Withered old plants, dry as a bone, swayed in the cold breeze of their spirited charge. Dirt and gravel crunched underfoot wherever the field agents stomped down in their jog, and they sloshed through ankle-deep sludge, leftovers of brackish water and oil from old, decaying derricks and their leaks.

It felt like chasing through an apocalyptic wasteland.

Zoning out while keeping quiet, Grant glimpsed flashes of such a bleak future in her mind’s eye. A future wiped out, where humanity and its dizzying towers of glass and steel all crumbled away under a dying sun, all chewed upon by storms, savaged by beasts from the future and past alike, and buried under mountains of dust and debris.

They jogged past an old farmhouse—it looked like a wrecking ball had torn straight through the premises. When Ruiz commented on that being the work of dinosaurs, Pruitt responded on the radio.

“Yo, you should see some of these other places. The dinos reeeally went to town out here.” Then, moments later, he reported something even more unsettling. “Some Hadrosaurus carcasses out here, but the military’s black ops and some peeps in HAZMAT suits are swarming all over them like ants. Orders?”

A chill ran down Grant’s spine, mere seconds before someone answered Pruitt on the radio. Someone whose voice she had not heard since leaving Future Proof’s HQ.

Malachi Spencer.

The CEO said, “Stantz, take Burch and Carter and visit our friends.” He drawled out that last word with such contempt that it sent another chill down Grant’s spine. “It’s imperative they don’t remove any specimens or field data we could salvage for research. Make it quick.”

“On my way,” Stantz replied over the radio.

Mischchenko clicked her tongue. “Where the hell is this kid? Any eyes on him, Pruitt?”

“Negatory, ground team. Only got two eyes to spare up here. Can’t do all the work for ya now, can I. Over.”

“No sweat,” Ruiz said. “I think I know where the kid went.”

For emphasis, he pointed the muzzle of his EMD rifle at a container building. They had reached the edge of another oil-drilling field. Everything left behind here was caked in rust and dust. The last vehicles to leave tracks out here had not been operational in years. Brackish sludge rested in every groove of the earth.

Grant took point, catching her breath, and creeping closer to the rusty blue container outside the drilling rig. Mischchenko followed.

They flicked the flashlights on their EMD rifles on, and shone light into the hollow bowels of the blue container.

From between mounds of old trash, a boy peered back out at them. His face mirrored the desolate ruins around him, caked in dirt and dried blood. Grant couldn’t have told if it was the kid’s own blood, or someone else’s.

He was shivering. Wide-eyed. Terrified.

Staring at his own horrified face, distorted in a reflection on Grant’s black visor.

“Found ‘im,” Ruiz reported.

The boy wouldn’t hear it, but Stantz uttered the most callous thing she had heard since signing up with Future Proof.

“At the risk of sounding messed up, it’s kind of a shame the kid didn’t get eaten—woulda been one less headache for me.”

Without a single shred of amusement, Carter’s tinny voice on the radio chided Stantz, “You are one sick puppy, aren’t cha?”

Mischchenko spoke up, softer than she had ever uttered anything before. It made Grant wonder if her colleague had kids of her own.

“It’s all gonna be okay, we’re here to help,” said the hunter. She lowered her rifle to no longer blind the child, crouched down, and waved a hand at him, inviting him to approach them. “What’s your name?”

Grant stepped away, behind Mischchenko, also lowering her rifle, and scouring their environs for any other threats. Ruiz also kept lookout with her.

“They’re dead,” whispered the boy. Hissing, he repeated himself. “They’re all dead.”

He refused to budge from his dark hiding spot.

His eyes flashed like those of a wounded, cornered animal.

Grant shuddered.

She didn’t like where this was headed.

Then the T-Rex roared.

The ground shook with violent tremors. Giant footsteps neared.
