Rocket raccoon, he was a Guardian of the Galaxy and that was all people knew about him. Nothing more and nothing less, but there was more to Rocket than just his hostile outside. Secretly, he was a soldier, a Lieutenant to be exact. He had another life one that he'd been kept from about two years now, most people think that Rocket raccoon is an angry, hostile lab experiment that tends to get rather violent and emotional when drunk. But there was more to him than that, in fact it was all an act to disguise his kind, loving and caring nature that he kept locked inside.

He told everyone that he was the only one left of his kind, that was not true, it was the complete opposite- on Halfworld, Rocket had a brother, mother, sister, best friends, a pain in the ass rival but most importantly, he had a soul-mate a girlfriend if you will. He kept this info private so he'd keep Halfworld unanimous to the outside worlds. The last thing he needed right now was alien interference during the Halfworlder war. Yes you heard right, there was a war on Halfworld and Rocket was sent off-world to find and eliminate the enemy leaders, thus bringing peace to Halfworld. But little did he know that he'd be returning home very soon...

Rocket was tweaking with his gun again, and retracted one of his claws, he scratched the side of the gun four times which stood for all of the four enemy leaders that he'd eliminated during his solo missions as he told Quill that that's all they were. The claw retracted and he smirked "One more ta go and I'll be home..."

Quill came by his furry partner and smiled, Rocket smiled in turn. The two had become such deep friends, ever since last year when Quill found the footage of Rocket getting pulled apart and put back together again, Quill was the one that was most affected and he'd grown very close to Rocket. He was showing him his other side...his Halfworld side, one that he'd never show Gamora or Drax

"Hiya Rocket!" Quill greeted

"What up Quill!" Rocket responded

"We're just on our way to Nar-shadar to get supplies" Quill explained

That was music to Rocket's ears as Nar-shadar was the location of the final Leader, Rocket's ears went up with joy and he grinned showing off some of his teeth and growled with pleasure.

Quill smirked and sat down beside Rocket and put an arm around his furry partner and brought him closer

"Why're you so happy bout that?" Quill said

"It's personal business..." Rocket said

"Another Solo mission?"

"You bet"

Quill got up and went to the cockpit with Rocket left behind, he decided to go get some shut-eye and closed the door behind him. He unzipped the top part of his jumpsuit and placed it on a chair nearby, he yawned and placed his palm near his mouth to contain most of the yawn while he stretched. He heard his back crack, causing him relief as he jumped on his bed, he pulled the blanket on himself and fluffed his pillow before resting his furry head on the soft pillow. He constantly thought of Lylla his Girlfriend and Ranger his brother

"I miss you all..." Rocket mumbled before his eyelids came crashing down and he fell to sleep grabbing another pillow and hugging it.

A few hours later...

Rocket was woken up by the ship shaking violently, he heard footsteps outside and he shouted Quill's name. He opened the door and found a shirtless Rocketlooking startled

"What's happening?!"

"We're under attack!"

"By who?"

"Ronin...sorry bud but our trip to Nar-shadar has to wait"

With that said Quill darted away leaving Rocket grumbling. He got up and wore his shirt before darting out to repair the damaged systems, Rocket started to cough from the smoke arising from the engine. "QUILL! WE CAN'T TAKE ANOTHER HIT!"

"I got that! SO we're jumping to Hyper-space!"

Before Rocket could reply Quill punched in a bunch of coordinates to the nearest planet and jumped, the Milano jumped out off Hyper-space and Rocket scurried onto the deck, he saw what planet Quill had jumped to. His eyes widened and his mouth gaped as he slowly asked

"Quill?"

"I found the coordinates on the dashboard here"

Stupid! Stupid! Stupid! He left Halfworld's coordinates out in the open! He wanted to tell Quill to turn the ship around but the ship was in no condition to jump again. Quill noticed Rocket's shocked expression and inquired what he was so shocked about

"I know this planet..."Rocket said

"Oh! What is it called?" Drax asked

Rocket sighed and told them "This is Halfworld...my home"
