"Mmmmm, this pumpkin-spice stuff is awesome and see why everybody drinks it this season, just don't tell uncle Rockie as he might flip, like when we drank butterbeer and got hyper." Casey said.

It was September and Autumn which was a fun time of year despite the new term starting at Avengers Campus but right now, she and Crystal were at Starbucks with their frost-goblin friend and fellow student, Kaley butCasey was wearing an Avengers Campus scarf with the Abengers Campus crest on it despite the fact she was covered in soft, thick brownish fur just like her uncle hoping he wouldn't freak, if he found out she'd had her first latte and it was pumpkin spice enjoying it, being the weekend remembering when Crystal had shared Butterbeer with her and she'd gotten hyper doijg stunts and aerial backflips which had Rocket concerned but this was different enjoying the ambience.

"Well you did gulp the whole bottle down, and you're being careful, plus Shocket and Linda come here all the time, oh crud speak of the timing." Crystal said hearing the door opening with Linda giggling about something as she and Shocket walked in, seeing Casey being cool about it, impressing Crystal and Kaley as she bit into a cookie as it was a free coffeehouse so everybody was welcome.

"What's she doing here, does your dad know." she heard Linda asking

"Holy crutack, I guess she's just chilling with her pals." Shocket replied noticing her cousin drinkijg from a mug guessing it was hot cocoa seeing the whipped cream on her lil nose grinning hearing her and her friends giggle despite feeling cold after the coldness andrain had went through her trench coat welcoming the warmness of the coffeehouse sitting down at a vacabt table while Linda ordered unaware Casey noticed her shivering, but let Linda deal with this wondering if her uncle knew noticing he'd been busy this morning, on his phone with Dean Carol guessing Linda had given Shocket some time.

"Normally my uncle spendsthe whole morning with her, so she musthave been upset this morning, when he saidhe was busy." Casey told Crystal and Kaley noticing the look on Shocket's face hearing her sneeze, guessing she washaving a bad fur day wanting to fix it letting Linda doit.

"What do you think your uncle's doing, that has him frazzled." Crystal asked seeing Casey's furry eyebrows tighten as she was thinking then, her eyes lit up remembering something she'd heard Rocket say, involving Half World seeing her friends exchange a look at that until somebody was trying to steal annoying Shocket, focusing as Helen, her beloved bazooka wrapped around her furty arms, impressing Casey but startling the thief.

"Go ahead, I dare you." Shocket said snarling, with her fur bristling, her fangs bared like Rocket when angry seeing the thief drop the box running off relieving her and Linda seeing her focusing, as Helen unwrapped from her arms back in her cosy only Shocket felt tired guessing using her tech-powers was a strain sniffling.

"Here Shockie drink, it'llrestore that crazy celestial energy of yours, thank Groot that guy backed down." Linda told her.

"Sssh aboutthat Ducky, we promised to keep that secret, my dad noticed in Fight Class andmight make a big deal, he has Celestial blood too, remember who made him." Shocket said gently in case somebody heard her.

"Yes and I think my cuz is one, the High Evloutionary did make her or give her the blood, oh crud she heard didn't she." Shocket replied crushing a muffin with her paws amusing Linda, hoping nobody had heard what she said despite feeling sniffly after they'd jumped in leaves for the last couple of hours unaware Casey had heard feeling confused but keeping it to herself as Rocket was busy.

"Wow, Half world kids, this was what your uncle wasdoing earlier, but sweet he's the one helping which makes sense, it's his home of sorts besides the High Evloutionary's ship, you okay as you've been quiet since Starbucks, did you notlike the latte." Crystal said later.

"I loved it, just thinking about what Shocket did, that's all but uncle Rockie's great with cubs so he's got this, but I know who to ask about it, I'll see you at dinner." the female-cub said leaving makingher and Kaley confused about what she had said seeing Rocket asking if everything was okay, listening to Crystal telling him, guessing he needed to have a chat with his niece
