"You sure you want me, for a sis, you really sure, Rockie because other grown-ups think I'm a handful or scared because of my powers that I might hurt them or destroy the house if I go into supernova mode when really upset which you've seen." Rocket heard Casey ask him.
"Of course I do, you need so ebody like me plus I can handle your powers mayge help you control them plus you can get oht of this shelter, move into my place with me in Brooklyn." Rocket told the female-kit feeling her hug him gently, so she wouldn't break a cybernetic bone as she already liked him as her bro.
A few weeks earlier ago, Rocket wouldn't have dreamed he'd be the big brother to a sweet yet spunky and super powered female-kit named Casey but a phone call from Ms Stripes who ran the shelter the female-kit had been living in since she'd been a baby had asked him to befriend her and through a series of events invokvibg the Kree, they'd became sibs to the pount where Rocket wanted to adopt her.
"I think this is a good beginning for the both of you, but you should pack honey, while Rocket fills in paperwork." Ms Stripes told Casey seeing a huge grin on her furry face running upstairs at super-speed to the room that had been hers for six years being six and a half years old.
"Bento guess what, we're getting adopted by Rockie." she told her stuffed tenuki whilee packing her favourite things like her art stuff, unplugging her nightlight putting them in her suitcase but putting Bento in her backpack taking deep-breaths to calm her excitement seeing Ms Stripes there, grinning
"I'm so proud of you, and knew you'd find your forever home." she told her.
"Uh-huh but thanks for taking care of me, even though my powers didn't make things easy." Casey replied to her hugging her seeing Rocket there trying not to cry, as this was very sweet.
"We should get going kiddo." he said seeing her nodding as they left.
It was early-morning in the city known as New York and in her bedroom in her brither's townhouse, Casey Raccoon was being stirred from dreams feeling her blue-pupilled eyes flutter open, despite wanting to close them right now because of the bright sunlight beaming through her curtained window, being a raccoon, an above average one lime Rocket, her eyes were sensitive cuddling Bento, her stuffed tenuki nuzzling him with her tiny snout wanting to just curl back up in the blanket she blankets until something sweet from the kitchen wafted upstairs kissing her snout tempting the six year old to get up sitting up sleepiky rubbing the sleep from her eyes with a paw but in her clothes as she didn't have many clothes as she was a kit and Rocket wasstill getting usedto being a big brother or parent so she didn't want to bug him.
She then made her bed, tucking Bento in beforeleaving her room, closing the door gently despite having bed-fur flying downstairs landing on the carpet before using the stairs walking into the kitchen seeing Rocket doing something on his phone guessing it was hero stuff sitting at the table quietly so she wouldn't distrurb him seeing him smile noticing her.
"Groot Morning kiddo and see you're up but a little tired huh, ohhhh yeah the sun's too bright." he said seeing her nodding.
"Uh-huh I wanted to go back to sleep." Casey replied but her lil snojt twitched in joy finding that sweet smell again seeing it was coming from the stove making Rocket grin, guessing that had awoken her chuckling going over there seeing the pancakes were ready impressing her, drinking orange juice unaware Rocket was noticing she'dslept in her clothes guessing she needed clothes and jammies as that would makeher feel like this washer home placing pancakes in front of her.
"Mmmmmm they look good, thanks." she said with her mouth full.
"Kiddo swallow, then talk, I don't want you to chome." Rocket replied.
"Oops sorry Rockie." Casey told him making him smile.
"It's okay kiddo, nobody's perfect." he replied drinking his coffee but telling her what the plan was for today, going to Macy's meaning heading to Times Square mixing with Terrans which was worth it, if it was for Casey plus he could introduce her to things like the subway hearing Casey say, shecould fly them there making him chuckle.
"That would be fun, but let's not scare Terrans, we have to share the city with them, but I know a way to get there, Geez kit did you play in a trash can, first off you need cleaned." Rocket told her making her nodding, even though she wasn't a big fan of baths, on the upside there'd beca fun adventure afterwards so the having tomtake a bath would be worth it following herbig brother into the bathroom, taking her dirty clothes off, putting them in the laundry hamper which Rocket would put in the washing-machine later but found sone clothes she could wear including tail armour then making a warm bath with bubbles tomencohrage her to hop in hearing her giggle, splashing hearing him laughing which made her smile.
After getting out and dressed, they were leaving the house but Casey noticed Rocket was wearing a hooded yop and jeans with boots wondering why hearing him explaining while some Terrans knew aboht him, others might be freaked out making her get it following him through the streets of Brooklyn to the subway station, making her wide eyed as she'd never been here before making Rocket get it.
"Cone on kiddo, let's hop on the subway." he toldher seeing a subway car that was bound for Times Square coming getting on finding seats but Casey was curious despite beibg nervous in the dark which he got, squeezing her paw gently to assure her she was safe and he wouldn't let anything hurt her which relieved her, knowing she slept with an jightlight seeing her feel better and braver like Raccoon Girl her alter-ego she'd created.
After getting off the subway Rocket grinned seeing her wide-eyed including the giant billboards, and sights leading her towards Macy's seeing her nervous sensing crowds terrified her, putting her on his back feeling her hug him gently feeling her heart beat fast, encouraging her to take deep-breaths seeing her doing so which was helping her.
"Thanks daddy-" she whispered into his furry ear making Rocket misty eyed hearing her say this.
"Yeah, we're family kiddo." he whispered as he was paying for the clothes but saw Avengers and Guardians stuffies getting an idea buying her one of him which Casey had not seen, putting it in the bag with the clothes noticing Casey calm looking around seeing other kids with theirparents seeing them curious, but Rocket smiled ag them as they left seeing NcDonalds asking Casey if she was hungry seeing her nodding.
"Uh-huh but thanks for the clothes." she whispered softly.
"Do too many people freak you oht, kiddo." Rocket asked her.
"Yep, didn't Ms Stripes tell you." Casey told him softky.
After that, they were heading back home but knew Casey wasexhausted, after putting things away in her closet but flopped onto her bed out like a light feeling Rocket put the stuffie he'd bought near her leaving her room looking forward to things like her first Halloween or Hannukah smirking making himself some coffee buta snack for Casey when she woke up from her nap
