"Linda what're you doimg here, did you run away?" Shocket asked Linda after hugging her.
"No of course I didn't run away, my dad came over, to hang-out with your daddy." Linda replied gigglimg, as secretly she'd been worried about her best-friend and sister deciding to have some fun.
It was later that night after having pizza for dinner which she'd enjoyed, along with soda but had been very shy around her dad's friends, so Linda being here made her happier after her so-called cousin had sppoked her, getting some ideas, like building a fort, which was becoming pretty cool making both Linda and Shocket giggle, unaware that Casey was watching from a distance so she didn't scare her cousin, guessing it would be a while, before Shocket would play with her.
"You alright Shocket, is something wrong?" Linda asked Shocket, making her snap out o it, grabbing the Nerf gun she'd found makimg Linda guess she had heard an intruder, seeimg Shocket firing Nerf darts, seeing one hit her dad making both Linda and Shocket grin.
"It's okay, they're Nerf so they're soft, how did you get your paws on it?" Rocket asked, takimg it from her.
"I foundit in your room, you know?" Shocket replied with a smirk like his making him chuckle at her, impressed by her skills especially the fort, knowing she'd be a great addition to Casey and her friends, only he would wait, until she was ready sensing she didn't have great social skills hearing another commotion, knowing Casey and her friends were having an Nerf battle, makijg Shocket curious and Linda nervous, seeing her furry best-friend grabbimg her dad's Nerf blaster, making Rocket chuckle.
"This might be a good thimg, we just have to wait and see, you know?" he said.
Shocket could see her cousin and her friends wearing battle gear and wielding Nerf guns, makimg her smirk, secretly joining in, makimg Casey surprised and annoyed, that her new shy cousin was winning the Nerf battle that she and her friends had planned fortheir slumber party, making Shocket confused by her being angry.
"I-I didn't know, my daddy told me you and your friends were doing this, I was just curious." Shocket said leaving, feeling upset makimg Linda wonder what was wrong, hearing her tell her, makimg her feel bad for her, because her friend didn't know, maybe her dad could help her smooth things over, seeing the female kit nodding, feeling hungry so they went to get snacks, bringing them to where they were hanging out.
"Mmmmm, this stuff is pretty good, no wonder Tivon wouldn't let us have it." Linda said making Shocket quiet, but feeling jittery after drinking soda, unaware of it's hyperactive effects on little kids like them seekng her best pal running out of the room like a furry blur makimg Linda worried, remembering what her dad had taught her, when she found it hard to solve a big problem by herself.
She saw Casey and her friends with Rocket had sn Shocket running like a blur, askimg Linda what happened, hearing her explain, makimg Rocket worry tellimg the compound's computer to lock the front-door, relieving Linda, in case her friend had ran out into danger makimg Casey curious, askimg if it was because she'd gotten mad at Shocket, that she'd done that, making Linda shake her feathery head.
"Nope, we just had candy and soda for the first time ever, since being Tivon's prisoners, we ain't typical kids who get to do whatever we want until now." she replied makimg Rocket get what she meant, getting an idea remembering music soothed the savage beast or in this case, calm Shocket down, after all that soda, makimg Casey curious about what her uncle was up to.
"I think he knows how to calm Shockie, she's his kid after all." Casey said.
She saw her uncle return with a certain Zune, which was up pretty loud, makimg the kids impressed, noticing Shocket could hear the music and starting to calm down which was a good thing, as Linda and Rocket caught her after she was tired, noticing the music had helped her out, makimg Rocket relieved because he'd been worried about her, which she could sense, zoning out as he put headphones on her furry little ears, that were connected to the Zune, so she could keep listening.
"Will she be okay, after all that excitement?" Casey asked.
"Yep, she's my kit after all." he replied grinning seeing it was sunrise.
She watched him carrying Shocket to where they'd been hanging-out, and put the Zune beside her, kissing her furry forehead, leaving them be, and going to his room seeing Lylla hug him, askimg if Shocket was alright, seeing him nod.
"Yes, she's sleeping after having her first taste of soda, plus I used the Zune to calm her down." he said yawning lying down beside her feeling her cuddle him.
"That's good, as I know how how much you love her." she said seeing him asleep.
Later that mid-morning/early afternoon, Shocket began to stir feeling tired, and her head hurt after that soda she'd drank seeing the fort that she and Linda had made, noticing she was wearing headphones not remembering her dad had put them on her head after she'd been hyper, after the soda seeing her dad's Zune, which had a label with his name on it, getting up and going to the kitchen, finding her dad there, relieved she was awake.
"You had one crazy night last-night, involvimg Nerf and your first taste of soda, which turned you into a hyper-active blur." he said to her as she was giving him back the Zune, making him smirk.
"It's alright, as it might help you with sleeping, you know?" he told her as she was drinkimg juice while eating waffles, seeing Linda there, hugging her because she'd been worried about her best-friend making Shocket giggle because she knew she cared about her, explaining that she was okay seeing the adults carryimg a container with something gooey in it, which made Shocket curious, makimg Rocket nervous, knowing what it was.
"Dad, why're you freaked out, about what's in the container?" she asked him.
"That's a symbiote, sweetie, they bond with people and other life-forms, making them do crazy things, and know you're curious about it, but stay away from it, alright?" he said makimg Linda and Shocket exchange a look, nodding making Casey surprised, there was a symbiote in the compound, and that it was a female one.
"Relax, it'sin the lab, so it can't bond with anybody, uncle." she assured Rocket.
Only what Linda said had been stuck in her mind, curious about what she had meant, hearing Rocket explaining, making her stunned wanting to help Shocket, which he thought sweet, letting her seeing Shocket yawning, guessing she needed an nap, goijg to the room she and Linda had been in, lyimg down on the bed, putting on the Zune, along with the headphones zoning out while listening to music.
"She's okay, she's sleeping, and has the Zune on." Lylla said, after he asked her, to check on Shocket.
"That's good, as the others are working on the symbiote, and worried she might escape." Rocket said.
She understood that he cared about hs little girl like with Casey, which was sweet, knowing that he was being protective of them, hopimg she was alright seeing the others needing him, goimg to the lab tellimg Casey not to follow, to tell Shocket to stay
"I get it, you don't want it, to get on Shockie, right?" she said to him, makimg Rocket nod.
When Shocket awoke from her nap, she was hungry leaving the room, going to the kitchen finding Casey there, guessimg she wanted to know where her dad was, makimg the female kit anxious, despite her cousin assuring her that her dad was with the others in the lab, workimg on a project, makimg Shocket's curiousity ignite, knowing that her dad would want her, to be safe respecting that, makimg Casey relieved.
"That's good, as he cares about you a lot, just like me." Casey said to her, makimg Shocket grin.
"Yep, I know as he was vreaked, that I had soda, like Linda." Shocket replied drinking milk.
"Yeah, you were like a speeding train, but sorry, that I yelled as Uncle Rockie told me, what you and Linda went through, but it's okay now, because you're in the most awesome family ever!" Casey told her, making her smile at Casey's words, making her guess she had a point finishing her snack goimg to listen to music, finding a hooded top that was the colours of her dad's armour making her grin putting it on, along with shorts, that made her feel comfortable, without pullimg her tail.
"Wow, I look good, I wonder who got them for me?" Shocket said softly looking at herself in the mirror.
She was then lying on the bed listening to music, unaware her dad was planning to make this room into her rooom, as she needed her own space needing to make it warm and cozy for his girl, plus had ordered things from Amazon, to make it Shocket-friendly which he was keeping a secret for now, plus was getting Casey and Lylla to distract Shocket tomorrow so he could do it, hopimg Shocket would love it, as Lylla knew she would.
"Yeah, she'll love it, as she knows you love her, and she found the clothes on the bed." she told him.
He nodded, knowing this was true, seeing Kamala ordering groceries, makimg him smile reminding her to get lots of peanut-butter for Hulk makimg him smirk at this, seeing Thor agreeing hearing laughter from the training room, realising it was Casey and Shocket makimg him wonder, what they were doing, seeing them using the climbing walls, guessing Casey was helpimg Shocket with her instincts, which was good.
"Woah, look how high I can climb, which is awesome!" Shocket said, climbing down safely, hugging her dad, makimg Rocket relieved that she was alright, hearing her ask, if he was okay.
"Yeah, just working on an Avengers project, which is alright." he assured her rufflimg her mohawk.
"I need to talk to Casey alone, is that okay kiddo?" he said to her seeing her nod in reply, seeing her with her dad, talking makimg her curious, to what they were saying, seeing Casey nod, as they were talkimg about tomorrow, makimg Rocket smirk.
"Hey, what were you and my daddy talking about?" Shocket asked her makimg Casey giggle, saying she had to wait makimg Shocket curious deciding to just let that happen, seeing groceries were here, watching TV relieving Casey, because she was not askimg her about what was happening tomorrow seeing Rocket comimg in, looking exhausted, makimg Shocket understand, getting a blanket, wrappimg it around him like a hug hearing him asleep makimg her and Casey smile.
"It's okay, Thor is part of our awesome family, and your dad's best friend, you can trust him, like Prof Hulk." Casey told her, seeing Thor walk in which made Shocket anxious, especially Thor callimg her a little rabbit.
"We're raccoons, not rabbits, why does he think that?" Shocket replied.
"Where uncle Thor comes from, Asgard, they don't have our species there, so to uncle Thor, he thinks my uncle and us are rabbits but it's cute, plus Prof Hulk is our doctor, he helps us when we're hurt or sick, along with when we need shots like Flu Season." she explained to her makimg Thor smile at her, rufflimg her mohawk making her giggle softly.
"Be careful, as she's still getting used to things here." she told him.
"I know, as your father told me, little rabbit." he told her.
