"Here, are you hungry, sweetie, I know the HE doesn't feed you well." Lylla told the female-kit.
It was later that afternoon, the kits were home from school and surprised the kit on the couch was the bully that had heat their dad up and wrecked thecstores in the main plaza seeing her quiet seeing RJ playing with Legos pointing to him making Flower, Quill and Lyllie were exchanging protective looks as their dad had told them about the scratches on his snout.
"Touch our littlest bro and you're dead meat." Quill said souhding tough like their dad.
"I won't…. I was just curious." she mumbled which Lylla got knowing this was a good teaching moment for the kits as most of them had forgotten they'd been victoms of the HE too except for RJ and he had scars on his belly which his fur was startingvto grow over offering the spoon seeing the female-kit openijg her mouth eating each spoonful because of the handcuffs, she couldn't feed herself.
"Guys she just madeca mistake, like you guts, she'sca victim of the HE too, so we should give her a second chance and show her mercy just like daddy." Lylla told them as Honey was watching along with TJ as Rocket entered with Floor and Teefs seeing the female-kit scared but she trusted Lylla which was a good thing but saw RJ on the couch near the female-kit stunning his brother and sisters
"… Hi don't be afraid of my sibs as they're just protective." he told her softky
"Moreso your dad, RJ." she said makingvthe kits astounded by her reply.
Rocket was astounded by her answer as they needed to bojd like she was with Lylla, so would ask Lylla to help him seeing her on edge as Floor was hugging her which sirprised her, making Rocket guess the HE had never given her hugs so was seeing her staring at the scars on RJ's belly
"The HE experimented on him, which is why he has those scars like the one you have on your head, but I'm not mad." Rocket told her making her surprised but he was giving her milk to drink, usingva straw hearing her thank him which surprised him and Flower, Quill and Lyllie but Honey, RJ and TJ knew she was just hurting.
"That's right, guys, she's been hurt on the inside." he told them seeing Lylla nodding with him seeing Flower, Quill and Lyllie guess they could trust the female-kit.
The next morning, RJ was awake and snuck out of the room he shared with his brother and sisters entering the living-room seeing the female-kit awake but surprised he wanted to be near her asking him, why he dared to sit on her lap if she could hurt him seeing him grin saying she wouldn't as he sensed she just needed love, like his parents gave him and his sibs.
"Groot Morning RJ and see you're bonding with your new sis, we convinced your sibs to give her a chance." Rocket told him.
"Groot Morning daddy and yeah, she was surprised I sat on her lap." he said to him waiting for his sibs to wake up seeing Honey and TJ in the play-den playing which made the female-kit smile a little surprising Rocket knowing RJ was showing her kindness like Lylla plus was making himself coffee to wake hijsekf up, making RJ apple juice as he liked drinking it compared to his sibs who drank orange juice, plus made the female-kit sone orange juice puttingva straw in it.
"Thanks." she said to him.
"You're welcome." Rocket told her.
