⍟ Broken Strings {A Chaos Theory x Male Reader Story - Ben}

They find themselves surrounded, a dinosaur on each end of the platform and one waiting for them at the bottom. The six of them huddle up, Darius clutching the shock prod and Y/N holding one of the tranq darts he found.

Y/N glances down at the woman, watching carefully as she prepares to blow her whistle. Beneath him he feels the platform rumble, something he assumes must be caused by the weight on it.

That is, until a truck comes barreling through the garage doors, smashing into everything and breaking down the platform, sending the dinosaurs and the group plummeting down towards the concrete.

Y/N's slammed up against the back of the truck before rolling off and onto the ground. He flinches in pain as debris fall onto him from what remains of the platform. When he opens up his eyes, he sees the truck slowly backing out of the garage and his friends all covered in fallen metal.

"Everyone okay?" Darius coughs.

"Yeah..." Kenji rubs his head, "Never better."

Ben and the girls stir about, coughing and sitting up. Y/N sits up slowly, rubbing his still aching chest.

A man climbs out of the DPW truck, a shock prod in his hand. He charges towards Darius and Kenji, who're pinned under sheets of metal. He gets to them before anyone can make a move to stop him, but, thankfully, he seems... friendly?

"Are you okay?" The frazzled man reaches out to Darius.

"Mateo?" Kenji gasps.

Mateo lifts the sheet of metal off of Darius' back and helps him to his feet, "I saw those raptors coming at you through the window."

Y/N pushes himself up off the ground and moves the debris off Kenji as well.

"Why'd you come back?" Kenji asks Mateo as he gets to his feet.

"I wouldn't have been able to face my daughter if I knew I left you kids hanging like that." Mateo explains.

"Thank you." Darius nods, grabbing a discarded shock prod off the ground.

Yaz, Ben and Sammy gather up with the others and all of them begin trying to quietly make their escape from the garage. But, of course, nothing ever goes to plan.

A dinosaur charges out, sprinting towards them. Everyone begins shuffling on their stomachs, diving beneath the truck to escape the creature. Darius scrambles away as the dino sticks its long head under the vehicle, snapping at him viscously.

This soon becomes the least of their problems as more and more dinosaurs begin breaking out of their containers, running around and terrorizing the workers outside.

Y/N and Darius peak out, watching as the workers run and hide. Some of them grabbing tranq guns and trying their best to disarm the dinos, but there's just too many.

The raptors from before finally emerge from the rubble and shoot out of the garage with a clear objective, like they've been programmed on a mission.

"Those raptors are still looking for us?" Y/N mutters, slightly impressed.

"Stay down and stay quiet." Darius instructs.

The dinosaurs easily turn on each other. They begin to fight, throwing each other around and knocking things over. One meek herbivore is thrown into a large container. It's back slams straight into a set of buttons and the doors to the container slowly open, revealing Big Eatie.

"Run!" Darius shouts, dragging Y/N along with him.

They round the truck and meet up with the others, only to be stopped by all three raptors blocking their path. Luckily, Big Eatie goes after the raptors, distracting them from their original objective.
