"I am Groot, I am Groot!" Groot yelled, as he was trying to pull Casey off her uncle's leg, because Rocket was going on some awesome yet dangerous adventures, adventures that might be too dangerous for a little kit like Casey, despite the fact she had many super-powers but the other Avengers were amused yet understanding of Casey's meltdown.
"I know bud, she has a major case of separation anxiety, Drax I need help!" Rocket yelled, makimg Drax remember when this had happened, with his daughter and when he and Cosmo had to leave Knowhere, with Knowhere melting down, just like Casey.
"Maybe you should give her a treasured thing, as it will comfort her." Drax replied.
Rocket sighed, knowing something that might work, and calm his powerful young niece down, after Drax's ideas had not worked, telling Groot to knock Casey out into taking an nap, seeing the tree-like being do so, seeing the brown-redfurred youngster out like a light, with Groot carrying her to her and Thrud's room.
He then left Casey and Thrud's room, makimg Sif and Thor wonder, where he was going, until he returnedwith his stuffedotterk makimg Thrud impressed.
"If she has Lylla, it might calm her down, until I come back." he said making them agree, seeing him place it beside Casey, seeing her wrap her furry arms around it in sleep.
"We should let her sleep, plus we gotta go." Rocket said, making them get it.
"We'll help her, when she wakes up, go ahead." Carol said to him.
"I hope so, as I get worried about her, when I do go off, by myself." Rocket said, as he was leaving, making off seeing Sif calming Casey down, using Asgardian lullabies, like when Thrud was a baby not wanting her and Thor to leave Asgard, when they had missions.
"Wow, my mommy's idea is working, as Casey is calming down, and has her uncle's stuffed otter." Thrud said to the others.
Sif smiled seeing Casey asleep on her lap, relieving the adults, because Casey's meltdown had frightened them, hoping the little kit would be alright, after she woke up seeing Sif nodding, saying to let Casey sleep off her meltdown.
Casey was surprised, waking up later, seeing her uncle's stuffed otter beside her, noticing it was early evening, forgetting that she'd taken an nap hoping her uncle was alight, wiping a tear away, feeling hungry getting up leaving her and Thruds's room, relieving the others that she was awake besides being calmer, relieving Monica and Thrud because Casey had been scary, in the midst of her meltdown.
"It's good that you're in a better mood, plus your ucle did let you look after his stuffed otter, you know?" Thrud said to her, makimg Casey nodding, as they were eating hopimg that Rocket was alright, for her best friend's sake.
"He will, he always comes back, for me and Lylla, but sorry." Casey said.
"It's alright, you have separation anxiety, which is normal." Monica replied.
"R-really, Terran kits get upset, when their parents go without them?" Casey said.
"Yep, but we and the others can help you, without you getting upset or blue." Sif replied, ruffling her brown-red bangs, making her smile at that hoping her uncle was alright, breathing deeply, which the others thought was a good idea guessing she might not sleep tonight.
Later that night/early morning, Casey was still awake, waiting for her uncle to reply, or message her, plus had been drinking soda to keep her nocturnal instincts stronger, besides raccoons slept during the day, so it was alright not realising it was nearly sunrise seeijg Kamala up makimg herself breakfast, since she had school, wondering, what Casey was doing up early.
"I can neither confirm or deny, why I'm up this early." Casey said grinning.
Monica and Thrud had a feeling their furry pal had been up all night, waiting for her uncle, to message her, hopimg she would take an nap while they were at school, seeing Sif nod because she knew Casey thought of her as a mom which she did not mind seeimg Casey out of it, sounding like Rocket which was makimg them laugh.
"Casey you need sleep, as you look tired, what were you doing?" Carol askdd.
"Nothing Aunt Sparkle Fists!" Casey said to her yawning resting her furry head on the table.
