Summary: Owen had always known his future would be in the stars. And yet when it finally happens, he's more lost than anything
Owen had always known his future would be in the stars. He never could explain it, not in any way that made sense.
When he was a kid, he thought he’d be an astronaut. Everyone had a space phase in grade school, and exploring the stars and planets sounded amazing.
“Maybe there are still dinosaurs on other planets, can you believe it?” he remembered asking one of his friends as a kid.
“Dinosaurs don’t exist, that’s just a lie they told us to make us believe in evolution.”
Owen remembered asking this friend who was they and what was evolution at the time. His friend hadn’t known more than him though, and said to ask his grandpa.
Owen had never given up on space though, or on dinosaurs. One of those disciplines required significantly less physics and theoretical mathematics however, which decided Owen’s path for him.
He still loved to look at the stars when he was in the Army (Navy?). He’d heard that nearly all astronauts had gone to the military or were prominent scientists. Going to space wasn’t exactly his goal for going there, but… it could still be a dream, right?
And then Jurassic World opened. And Owen just happened to be working on animal behaviour to train predators for the army after far too many animal interactions and studies while in the army, and… Well, Owen sure as hell wasn’t going to space if he had his hands full with a pack of dinosaurs, right?
He loved it, and he loved them, and at this point space was little more than a dream. He still would think about it when he looked up at the night sky and wondered what it would feel like to travel through the stars. After all, humans didn’t think they would be able to resurrect dinosaurs in his lifetime, and yet they had. What was keeping them from figuring intergalactic space travel then?
Even then, every time Owen thought about that possibility, he also thought that he wouldn’t be the one to participate in that future, not with the way his life was currently going.

Yet now, Owen looked out the window, at the veritable infinity of stars that surrounded him and couldn’t believe it. There were stars and darkness, as far as the eye could see. The stars were only interrupted by the edges of the windows, the parts where the windows ended and the ship started. Because yeah. Owen had ended up on a ship. A spaceship, to be exact. One with actual aliens.
“Yep, amnesia for sure,” a voice called to his side, and Owen turned to see an actual talking armoured raccoon gesturing to him. It was still as trippy as when he’d noticed it a few seconds ago, his mind still working overtime to understand what had happened to him.
“I don’t have amnesia,” he protested.
“And how would you fucking know if you were amnesiac dumbass,” the raccoon sassed right back. “You don’t even know who you are.”
“I do know who I am,” Owen replied, feeling himself getting more and more irritated by the argument itself, and by the fact that he was arguing with an actual fucking raccoon. “I’m Owen Grady, not that you’re listening, you dumbass animal.”
The raccoon looked like he was about to jump him, but the green woman he’d been trying very hard to not notice stopped it and shone a light in his eyes.
“Aaah, what was that for?” Owen protested, backing off to try and blink the light out of his eyes.
The woman ignored him. “Maybe he overwrote his memories after the amnesia?” she was saying to the raccoon. “He’s not any danger to us for now, but we don’t know what happened.”
Owen sighed as he looked back at the stars, dismayed at being ignored. He was very deliberately ignoring his sudden teleportation himself, focusing on things he could actually control. As beautiful as the stars were, maybe the future wasn’t so great after all.

I'm just kinda imagining Starlord freaking out over a buncha dinosaurs on the other end of this though.
