"Hey there, my name is Kacey and yeah I'm a variant, my dad sent me here, I see I'm not the only one." the purpke jean-jacket wearing female kit said.

The other Rockets were impressed by her, especially Rockelle knowing Casey would bd sufprised, when she came back from camp to learn she had a variant, noticing Mantis wanting to look into the femald variant's mind like she had with the others seeing Rocket agreeing, seeing the female empath relax Kacey into a peaceful slumber, lookimg into her mind, impressed by what she was seeijg, that Kacey's Rocket was her dad and hadseng her here to control herpowers but to havefun.

After she wasdone, Mantis told Rocket what shehad seen, making him understand, hearing commotionasRock wasbeing weird, makijg him understand, the male teen kit hadhit puberty, andhadhisfirstpimple, so he wasletting Rockfordhandle this one, alomg with Ranger, seeijg Kacey awakeaftera while, feeling hunvry.

She was eating pancakes and drinking coffee which astounded Rocket because coffee made the Casey they knew go a little wild realising Kacey was twelve remembering Terran kids that age started drinkimg coffee around that age, seeing she was closing her eyes because of the sun glare just like the other Rockets, getting her shades, seeing a smirk on her furry face.

"Thanks dad, plus my Shocket is a wrestler, in the Galactic Wrestling League." she told him.

"That's cool, but you oay?" he replied seeing her nod.

Mantis had told him, that Kacey's him had been overprotective of her, so when her powers had gotten stronger besides finding out she was a secret superhero, he sent her here to 616 Eafth, which was intresting, deciding to make her his kit, as Shocket lived with Linda and Howard, seeimg Kacey hug him, beimg mindgul of her super-strength power, letting go.

"Oops, sorty I forget, you know?" she said makimg him chuckle.

It was also National Ice-Cream Day so Rocket had a crazy idea to make a giant sundae that the other Rockets could enjoy, he needed Hulkets's help making the giant green-furred male raccoon excited to help him, seeing the other Rockets curious, wondering what was going on, makimg Kacey get it and impressed because she wanted in on the fun. makimg Rocket smirk, but he saw Lylla was holding what looked like a furry ball that had his brownish eyes, making him surprised.

"He's a variant, but a toddler one, he's imprinting with you!" she told him.

Rocket's heart felt warm holding the toddler variant in his furry arms, nnuzzlijg him with his no and whiskers hearing him giggle, which melted his heart naming him RJ which the toddler loved, making Kacey smile at her new bro, giving him a little ice-cream which he loved, making Lylla giggle.

"Welcome to the family, buddy." Rocket said softly to him.

The other Rockets were surprised seeing their new brother, finding RJ very cute and the size of a jellybean but being careful seeing him sleepy in Rockets's arms which Rockford found sweet putting a crib in Lylla and Rockets's room for RJ, making them happy goimg to put the male kit to , wrappimg a blanket gently around the male kit, kissimg his furry little head.

"Let's get some ice-cream, while he sleeps." Rocket whispered to Lylla.

"Yeah, you're adorable with him." Lylla said to him as they left the room.

They were joining the other Rockets seeing them going to town on the sundae makimg them chuckle, hearing them ask where RJ was hearing him telling them, that RJ was taking an nap making them understand, seeing Hulket helping devour the sundae which was awesome, wondering how RJ got here, guessing it involved the Phoenix.


That early morning, Rocket was up with RJ, calming him as he had woken up because he was either hungry or needed a clean diaper, while Lylla slept which he didn't mind goijg to the kitchen getting a bottle for him, seeijg him drinkimg relieving Rocket burpimg him afterwards makimg him chuckle, seeing the sun come up.

"It's okay buddy, I don't mind being up." he told him nuzzling him gently.

It was helping RJ relax, and get sleepy which was good, humming to him, which was helping the kit relax just as Rockford was up smirking at how sweet Rocket was being to RJ, making himself coffee, askimg Rocket, if he wanted some seeing him nod in agreement after putting RJ in his highchair who was now relaxed.

"Somebody's happy this morning, after waking dad up." Lylla said to him.

Rocket smirked in reply at herwords kissing her.

She didn't tell him that her parents had invited them for dinner, knowing Rocket would flip out, not having great social skills despite dealing with the other Rockets, knowing she had to tell him, seeijg his eyes go wide in panic, makijg the other Rockets understand but they could help him out, especially Rockford.
