It was a typical morning in the Avengers compound, Shocket watching hershows and eating a snack since breakfast was not ready yet when she saw somebody appear that looked like her but an adult looking frightened holding her dad's space-stone in her paws, seeing her youngerself along with the intruder alarmsgoing off seeing Rocket wide-eyed, at this ersion of hislittle girl holding the space-stone, along with her explaining, making him getit, seeing she wielded no blasters guessing shecould use theirhelp, putting her in a holding-cell.

"It's alright little me from thisdimension, dad is doing what he thinks is right." Alt Shocket told Shocket.

Seeing that made her upset, because Tivon had made her alternate-self steal herdad's space-stone because he told her, he would let her go, like Linda'sdad feeling Rocket'spaw on her furry shoulder calming her down, noticing the older version wore Ravagersco,ours impressed, despite bringing Yondu back into his mind, telling his Shocket to go eat.

"It's just for now, until we figure out what to do." Rocket told the alternate Shocket.

He was joining theothers at breakfast noticing his Shocket wasquiet, making him understand, ruffling hermohawk encouraging her to eat to get energy for herschool-day and put smiley faces on her pancakEs, as the morning's events had soured her mood so he was trying to make her feel better, besides making herlunch and snacks, confusing Linda, to what was bothering Shocket as she did not want to talk about it, which Rocket understood seeing Shocket leave.

She was carrying the rest of her food to where her alternate self was, surprising her, guessing that shewas hungry, makingRocket smile because shewasshowing her alternate self kindness, seeing her go get ready for school, opening the holding-cell walking-in with food but coffee hearing herthank hI'm, stunning him as they were talking, impressed hisalternate self was thepresodent of Half-world hearing her snort athis reaction.

"You're way better, the me here is lucry, to have you." she told him.

He listened as shetold him, making him understand, making up his mind, to let her stay as Shocket could use a big sister and they could help her making her hug him, hearing him chuckle, taking herto getchecked-out seeing she had a certain gene inher that wasactivating, which would make hercute, seeing she hadgoodness in her, she justneeded help, along with an nameof her own, which they wouldfigure out too.

"We haveto send thestone I took back." she told Rocket makinghim proud.

"Sure thing, Kiki, as that's your first step." Rocket toldher.

"My first step to what?" she asked confused.

"To the life here that you want." he replied.

She nodded thinking ofthe dimension she came from, as the space-stone glowed opening a portal as she put the stone through asthe portal closed, feeling weight off her furry shoulders, taking off the armourand the collar with Rocket'shelp, which made herso happy putting on an Avengers top that was cosy, feeling happy tears sting her eyes, hugging him, for themillionth time today unaware theotherswere watching andlistening impressed.

Plus Spring Break started from today, meaning Shocket and the other kids would be off for three weeks, meaning they could do some Avengers Scouts stuff that would keep them occupied and out o mischief seeing Kiki curious, besides Avengers Scouts had no age limits seeing her excited, just like Shocket when he had asked her about it, getting her an uniform.


At recess, Shocket was distracted thinking about this morning, hopimg her alternate-self was still there when they got home, that her dad hadn't sent her back or kept her in the holding-cell like this morning, soshe couldn't relax even though Ms Pryde had given them free play all morning and now they had recess until their parents came to pick them up, makimg Linda really worried, because Shocket always told her secrets or if something was sromg, why was this different?

"I knowwhat's bugging her, as I read her mind for you during class." Billy said.

Them.

"Thanks but I'd rather hear it from Shocket herself." Linda replied.

After a while, parents showed up to collect their kids, until Billy, Linda, Tommy and Shocket were left in the playground, seeing the bus that took them to Avengers Scouts events and camp outs, making Billy, Tommy and Linda excited and Shocket confused until she got on, seeing her alternate-self in an Avengers Scouts uniform, hugging her, makimg Rocket chuckle at her reaction along with the other kids.

"Kiki is Shocket's big sis, plus she's joining our troop, but let's get going." he told

He saw Shocket sitting with Kiki instead of her friends, realising she had been worried all day about Kiki so thiswas a good thing, deciding to have a campout at the compound, hearing the kidsexcited about that, hearing Kiki ask, if they would still be earning badges seeing Rocket nod knowing Casey would be excited, as she was in their troop alomg with Carmilla Banner.
