"Whoa, somebody's up late, and makig one heck of a late-night snack, you sure you're alright, after earlier?" Rocket asked Casey.
It was late night/early morning in the compound, and he had found Casey in the kitchens after talkimg to her parents about earlier, when Celesta had shown up, munys the combinations part seeing his niece eating chocolate pudding, surprised the female kit had used the microwave, not her laser blasts to do it.
"Sort of uncle, plus I couldn't sleep, you know, she's not going to be able, to escape, right?" Casey replied makimg him get it, what had happened earlier had her a little shook up, assuring her there was no way, that Celesta could escape.
"That'sgood, but we should help her, even if she's mad at us, that is what family does, right?" she said making Rocket nod, hearing her yawning, guessing she was tired after getting her powers back, along with fighting Celesta which had been awesome, feeling his phone buzz, as it was Casey's parents making him surprised with what they were telling him.
"Casey's gonna get quite the surprise, when she wakes up later, I better check on Celesta." he muttered leaving the kitchen, after Casey had cleaned up going to where the cells were, approaching Celesta's seeing her scowl at him, making Rocket annoyed, knowing Casey was worrying about her.
"Really, she's agraid of me, Rockie?" Celesta said smirking, makimg Rocket annoyed.
"Well you took off with Aunt Nebula, joined the Ravagers, plus broke into this compound, what's going on?" he said.
Celesta turned around to face him, knowing that he cared about her, like with Casey, as she was jealous of this, which Rocket sensed, guessing she just neededtime to cool off hearing her ask, why he cared about her.
"Because you're family and I care about you, plus you have potential, just like your sister, just think about it." he said after giving her something to eat, stunning her seeing him leave.
He hoped that things would be alright, especially with Casey and Celesta's parents coming later, going to get some rest, despite seeing texts from Lylla going to hisroom hoping that Celesta would think about cleaning up her act, like him which he had not wanted to say in front of her.
Later that morning, Casey could hear or thought she could hear her parents talking, getting up groggily, going to the kitchen seeing her parents, Zorra and , her mom that had a mohawk like Carol and Soren there, making Casey stunned, making them chuckle at their kits's reaction along with Rocket making her nervous.
"You're not in trouble, they just wanted to visit, plus they're very proud of you, but worried about your sister, plus your mom might have a pellet in the oven." Rocket assured her making her surprised yet happy, hugging gently making them chuckle.
Cassie and Monica were curiously watching, making Thrud sigh, because she knew that Casey had been missing her parents so was telling them to let them be, hearing the mission alerts go off, making them excited because it was a mission drill, not an actual mission which they and Casey always loved watching, which the adults did not mind.
"Wait, where's Rockie?" Carol asked them, seeing said brown-red furred male there, only Casey was not with him.
"She's tied up with something else, you know?" he replied to her making Thrud understand what he meant.
She would check on Casey later, knowing Casey gave her space, when her mom had visited, and stuck around to this day, hoping Casey's parents would do that, makimg Rocket smirk at her thoughts, hoping so getting focused on the mission drill.
"So you're deciding to stick around, and does Casey know your plan?" Rocket asked Soren and Soren seeing them nod in reply.
"Yes, as we want to be part of Casey's life, along with helping rehabitale Celesta, when she is ready, you know?" Zora replied making Rocket very impressed, knowing that Casey would be very surprised yet happy about this, when they told her.
"She'll like this, plus we have room here, at the compound." Rocket said, making Soren agree, seeing Zora sleepy which was understandable, because she had a kit growing inside her, plus they had been using the simulator.
It was later that night/early morning and they were just hanging out, talking about things, seeing it was nearly sunrise, seeing Soren and Zora going to their room, which they had set up earlier, hoping that Casey was alright, knowing that Rocket would help her out, if she was having trouble sleeping.
Casey was very stunned, yet excited that her parents were going to be living at the compound, because she was feeling protective of them, especially her mom being with kit which made her excited, hoping that Celesta did not know, even though Rocket assured her, that Celesta would not be able to pull anything.
