"Yeah, she's adorable, but you want me, to watch her?" Rocket asked, confused.
It was late night/early morning in the Novacore hospital on Xandar, and Rocket's aunt, Poppy had given birth to a female infant kit which she and her mate, Soren had namdd Casey which Rocket was holding in his furry arms seeing her lovimg him just like her parents.
"We have to keep her safe, because she has powers, just like her mother, and she might attract bad guys, so we figured you were the perfect one to be her caretaker." Soren told him.
I hope so, that I don't let you down," he told thdm.
He zaw his aunt putting an necklace around Casey's furry little neck, seeimg her playimg with it making them and Rocket chuckle at her beimg cute, seeing her mom and dad kissing her furry little head before handing her to Rocket seeing calmimg her down, before leavimg going to his ship, bucklimg Casey into a seat, seeing Groot curious.
"That's my niece, Casey, which I'll explain on the way." he to,d him, blasting off tosards Earth, seeimg Casey sleepy, after Rocket fed her a bottle of mil, landing back in New York, beside an abandoned apartment building, as he unbuckled Casey while he was holding Casey going to the penthouse, seeing a couch and TV in the living room, along with a fridge making Rocket grin.
"Oh geez, she was wanting me, while I was out, right?" Rocket asked after putting groceries away, seeing Casey calming down seeing him, stunning Rocket taking her from Groot, seeing her happy.
"Awwww, Casey was adorable as a baby." Crystal said to Rocket, seeing him nodding in reply as it was a rainy day which was annoying Casey that she couldn't go outside until Crystal found a photo of baby Casey which had made Rocket nostaglic which had led to him tellimg them a story.
"Yeah, and pretty rambunctious, especially when her powers emerged." Rocket told them, makimg them excited that he had more stories from that, makijg Rocket grin, saying he would tell them more hearing the mission alarms going off, running off making both Casey and Crystal curious about that.
They were hangimg out, and making slushies in the kitchens, makimg Kamala smile, seeimg Casey happier, remembering she'd been grumpy this morning, after Rocket had told her she couldn't go outside because of the heavy rain guessing she'd done something to distract herself, seeing the rain had stopped, seeing puddles going outside to stomp them, making Crystal hope that Rocket would not get mad, finding her outside.
"It's what every kid likes doing, plus she put on her rain gear, so Rocket will be okay, with that." Kamala assured her
A while later, they saw Casey come back inside, grinning with pride, after grabbing a towel, to dry off, makimg Rocket guess, what she'd been doing seeing Crystal nod in reply, seeing him making hot cocoa to warm her up.
"Thanks uncle, how was the mission?" Casey asked him.
"It was good, don't worry." he replied to her, makimg her grin.
She was drinkimg but seeing it was getting darker outside, as it was Autumn, making Casey excitable for Halloween and all the candy she was going to get, makimg Crystal and Rocket chuckle, knowing she had a pretty cool idea for her Halloween costume which Yama had inspired makijg them curious.
