Meanwhile at school, Casey was distracted by that vision she'd had as her dad wouldn't experimented on her or her sibs, he loved them and told them so felt really confused relieved it was the end of the day heading home to Wondergore, but saw Rocket with extra McDonalds seeing him heading toma secret door becoming unseen, following through astounded seeing the cub from her vision but she looked like her but shaggy furred guessing maybe she was a variant
"Here you go, I promised I'd bring you McDonald's and can't want to introduce you tomour family, especially Casey here's a photo of us see, our Herbert isn't like yours." she heard him say seeing her looking at the photo with curiousity insteas of fear belching making him but Casey giggle too makijg Kacey scared until Casey revealed herself making Rocket ikpressed biting his lip.
"I had a vision about her plus when I came home, you were taking food in here so I got curious, but what's she doing here, does dad know." she said to him seeing Kacey hug her which made her giggle.
"We found her on Wondergore a few days ago, she's you from a dimension where dad isn't nice but made her his weapon but we didn't tell mom or the others yet, sheseems to trust you." he told her getting an idea.
"It's time to prove you're ready to beca Guardian someday by helping her." he told her making Vasey nod, guessing her variant might not like sleeping alone and wanted to make things cosy fir her hearing Rocket ask, what she thought Kacey needed hearing she needed an nest knowing raccoon moms made them for their cubs needing blankets and an nightlight nodding going to get them deciding not to tell the rest of their family what was going on and told Herbert what Casey was doing.
"Here you go kiddo, and see you're already calming her down." he said to her.
"Thanks, but will you get in trouble with sire, for taking these things." Kacey asked him.
"Nope he loves us which you'll see, but mayge Casey should sleep here so you don't feel alone." Rocket told her seeing Casey nodding astounding Kacey seeijg him leave ashe was gettijg them bedtime snacks because it helped them fall asleep seeing milk and cookies makijgher excited hearing Casey giggle at her dorkiness guessing Evil Herbert never let her have bedtime snacks seeing her nodding enjoying them.
"That's good you're loving them plus we'll help you out." Casey told her.
"Thanks." she replied as the nightlight turned on, helping them relax but lying down but Casey noticed she wasn't ready to sleeo yet understanding teling her they could just lie for a bit until they felt sleepy.
"How many are you." Casey asked her seeing Kacey hold out both her paws showing she was ten years old impressing her seeing her smile a little which impressed her.
"I've been thinking, if I'm gonna live here, I'm gonna need my own name, so wedon't confuse everybody, plus the other kits in the lab named themselves." Kacey replied making Casey get it, unaware Rocket and Herbert were listening to them, making Rocket smirk, knowing he'd did the same alomg withbLylla knowing they'd help her.
"We should let them be, they need their rest." Herbert told him.
That next morning, Jupiter was surprised hearing what Casey was doing, helping the traumatised variant of herself after Rocket explaijed to her seeing her taking GrootvMorning pancakes to Kacey which Rocket was helping her after she'd gotten dressed but was anxious as it was a school-day which made her anxious in case her variant got worried feeling Rocket understanding
"Don't worry we'll explain to her, but you're doing a good job of helping her." he told her seeing her take deep-breaths plus wanted to teach her variant this which he thought a good idea but was taking her to school seeing she was quiet thinking about her variant squeezing her paw gently, telling her she'd be okay
