Rocket was inventing in the tech lab in the compound despite it being late night/early morning until he heard soft humming or singing making his ears perk up with curiousity wondering where it was coming from, which was the kitchens making him leave the space he was working in, goijg onto all fours seeing Carol on the floor with her cat of sorts making him surprised, unaware that Carol sensedthat somebody was there, despite singing something called Soft Kitty which was kind of soothing to Rocket.
"Huh, Rockie what're you doing in here, I thought there was a Skrull in here?" Carol asked surprised.
"S-sorry if I scared you which would be impossible, knowing you." he admitted to her being shy, making Carol get it, as the others had told her about hI'm, surprised her singing had encouraged him to come in here, seeing Rocket nod because he was kind of feeling lonely, hoping the others would not make a big deal out of this.
"It's alright, besides I'm still getting used to things too, as well as Goose." Carol said seeing the brown-red furred male nodding, remembering how it had been hard for him to adjust first coming here, the difference was that he was friends with some of them of sorts ke with Thor while Carol did not so was telling her stuff making Carol laugh a little along with making Goose smirk, because he had been wary of Rocket.
"You know you can sit with us, Rockie, Goose isn't going to hurt you, if that's what you're worrying about." Carol assured him.
He guessed he could try, coming over on all foursnervously, making Carol curious, wondering why he was so shy, being a fellow Avenger but also a Guardian of the Galaxy guessing he just needed help knowing what made Goose feel better when like this, hoping he would not get mad at her scratching behind his ears gently making said raccoon male begin to relax.
"I do this when Goose is frightened or like this, and recent events have done that, I guess." Carol said.
"What's it like to blow things up, with your sparkle fists?" Rocket said to her making her grin.
"It's pretty cool, if that's what you mean." she said to him making him grin.
Later the next morning, the others wondered why a certain furry Avenger/Guardian of the Galaxy was in such a good mood, unaware of that he had been hanging out with Carol and Goose seeing him smirk at Carol drinking coffee seeing Goose nuzzle against his armoured leg making him smile. like a Chesire cat.
"Why're you so curious about why I'm in a good mood?" he asked them.
He was eating up, as they were going to train, seeing Goose going to find Nick, finding him in his office.
"How're you feeling after last night, Rockie?" Carol asked.
"I'm alright I guess, but your sparkle fists are awesome." Rocket said.
It was later that day and after training, but Carol and the others were hanging out, noticing that Rocket was quiet, so was wondering if he was alright, noticing him looking at Stormbreaker, Thor's weapon unaware that he and Groot had helped Thor make it so was keeping that from her until he could trust her more which the others knew.
She was letting him take his time in trusting her, like with the others, so was letting him be seeing him going to invent seeing Nick get it seeing that Goose had been making friends with the brown-red furred raccoon male along with Carol seeing her nod, so would keep trying, despite training noticing that somebody had taken or borrowed one of the jets.
"Rockie knows how to pilot jets, that's amazing!" Carol said as she had pilot skils.
"He does, but he might be in trouble, when he gets his furry butt back here." Steve said.
She was then flying off into the skies, without a using a jet, stunning Rocket as he had no idea she could do that, making her chuckle at this as they were racing each other, having a blast, not caring if they got in trouble.
"I didn't know you used to be an Air Force pilot, that's impressive." Rocket said.
"Yeah and part of the Starforce, which was sort of like you and your friends." Carol told hik.
After they got back to the compound, the others were curious about what had happened, because there was a grin on Rocket's furry face despite Nick wanting to talk to him making Carol hope he would be alright.
