Shocket grinned, as it was bedtime which she was not a fan of, until her dad hadstarted telling her stories of when he was little which impressed her, as she was like him, despite being a technopath, plus it was a school night so she andLindaneeded theirrest to grow and function, only Lylla was concerned that Shocket was getting ideas from her dad's stories plus thelittlekit was saving up her allowance for an Nerf blaster.

"Relax Lylla, she's not gonna do something stupid, besides it makes bedtime easier with her, instead of us having to fight her unless Linda is there, right now they're asleep." Rocket assured her while in bed.

"I guess that's true, plus she is doing good at school, you know?" Lylla replied yawning.

Rocket knew that Shocket was getting older, and a little like him in temper, which amused him, worrying Lylla putting her in timeout or making her put money in the swear jar, which had happened earlier so was happy, sharing things with her.

He also knew a certain day honouring mothers was coming up, knowing that Shocket was touchy about that, because of her past, so would help her out, knowing Shocket was excitedabout not going to school tomorrow, because it was parent-teacher conference which he was looking forward to, hoping Shocket had caused mischief, guessing Shocket was planning her own fun..

While she and Linda were out playing baseball, they w the Collector's drones, making them on alert, seeing a female kit with Rocket's eye and dur co,our, having her hair in a short braid, wearing armour but also a collar around her furry neck which made Shocket's go wild, realising that Tivon had used her dad's genes, seeing the kit freaked, making her and Linda understand.

"I-i have no choice, Papa Tivon said he'd not feed me and Branchie." she told making Shocket understand, taking the collar off using her claws being gentle, impressing Linda, seeing the female kit sniffling, feeling her hug her letting her cry.

"Ssh, it's okay, we've been there, Tivon is not daddy, your actual dad is an Avenger, and awesome, come with us." Shocket said as she and Linda were walking with her back to the compound, astounding Rocket hearing Shocket tell him making him bend to the kit's level, seeing her hug his leg needing a dNA test, knowing she was his, like Shocket, guessing she needed an name, stunning the female kit as Tivon never named her.

"What about Raia, Raia Raccoon?" Shocket suggested impressing him.

"Yes please, thanks Shocket, we are sisters, right?" she said softly.

"Yes, Tivon made us using our dad's blood, but who's Branchie?" Shocket replied.

"She's my Groot, Tivon made her and she became my pal, we have to save her!" Raia said.

That made Rocket stunned, and very mad at Tivon for being a jerk to Raia and Branchie, promising her, he would rescue Branchie patting her furry little head gently, leaving telling Linda and Shocket to look after Raia, making them nod in reply hearing her stomach rumbling, going to the kitchen to get something to eat chocolate-covered pellets into a bowl, makimg Raia wide-eyed which Shocket and Linda understood, because they hadeen the same way, after finding their dads.

"Yeah, it's okay, we were like this too, when we first came here, everything will be okay." Shocket told her.

"Mmmm, these are really good, he'd never let me eat these, he'd say they have poison." Raia said.

"Well, Tivon isn't really our dad, he just says that stuff, to break your spirit." Linda said.

She noticed Shocket shakimg a little like a leaf at what she'd just said, pullimg her into a hug, along with Raia, which Lylla thought adorable because Rocket had told her about their new daughter, finding it sweet that Shocket was helpimg her feel comfortable instead of causing mischief making Casey understand, yawning, as she had to take an nap.

Later Lylla saw Groot and Rocket return with a sleeping sapling in Groot's arms, hearing Rocket tell her, about Branchie, knowing Raia would be very happy, when she awoke from her nap and they would help her and Raia adjust to things grinning about the damage he had did to the Collector's warehouse like blowing up the generator


"Thank you for rescuing Branchie, as I was worried about her, daddy, as my sister, Shocket explained, while you were gone." Raia told Rocket making him choked up after waking up having milk and cookies.

"You're welcome sweetie, as your uncle Groot is happy, to be a father, plus Shocket is happy, to have a sister like her, besides Linda of course." Rocket replied to her while drinking coffee and bonding with her, like when he had discovered that Shocket was his daughter just like Raia.

"This is my home now, right, he won't come after me, right?" Raia said making Rocket n

"Yes it is and no he won't, or he'll have to go through me and my friends." he assured her.

That made the younger female kit feel better plus Rocket and Lylla sensed that Raia might be more gentler than their older kit, Shocket makijg the others agree with him, seeing her yawning, along with Shocket because it had been a long day for her and Linda knowing tomorrow was a school day for Linda and Shocket, needing to explain to Branchieand Raia that they went to school, knowing Casey would love hanging out, with Branchie and Raia being aged down.

He was putting a sleepy Raia onto the couch, wrapping a blanket around her gently, leaving her to sleep, going to join Lylla in their room, hearing her asking if everything was alright, as he was changing into a dressing-robe in case anything happened during the night assuring her that everything was alright, despite how today had turned out, making Lylla smirk at her husband.
