I should've listened to Marv and let her soften the blow, that way she wouldn't have reacted that way so once we find her and if she's calm, we can talk things out about things.

"Rockie you alright, you're worrying about Casey, because she flew off?" Kamala asked, seeing the brown-red furred male nod in reply.

"I told you it would blow up in your face, but first let's find her, hopefully she's calmed down." Carol said.

It was a few hours later and now night, but Carol, Kamala and Rocket were searching for Casey, after her leaving after being upset which was making Rocket worry, his paws shaking in anxiety makijg Carol guess he was panickimg seeing Kamala extend her arms around him in a hug.

"We'll find her, but we have to relax, we can't find her, if we're freaking out, right?" she said seeing him nod after taking deep breaths once she let go hearing laughter which he knew as Casey's leading the way, seeing his niece with a male kit playing with trash cans, makimg him shake his furry head making both Carol and Kamala get why this worried him.

ng takeout"Woah, Avengers in the area, Casey do you know them?" Stripes asked looking at Rocket, then at her with wide eyes makimg Casey nervous seeing him run off making Carol guess she had just lost her first friend, makimg Rocket feel bad for her.

"Let's just go home, alright?" Casey said flying off with them, feeling sad but trying to hide it in front of her uncle, but once they got back, she was taking a shower to get the trash smell off her, plus they were ng takeout, making Rocket sigh wanting to talk to Casey deciding to wait until tomorrow, when the kit had calmed down as this was hurting him as much as it was hurting her.

"She'll be alright, once we talk go her, as she might be afraid to try making friends, after Stripes did that." Kamala said to him seeing him agree hoping Casey would be alright, putting what he knew she loved from takeout into bowls putting them on a tray, going to Casey's room, opening the door gently, seeing her listening to music on headphones so left the food there, waiting for her to come to him.

After that, he was going to the tech-lab to do his own thing to calm down after the excitement, hopimg things would blow over, seeing that Lylla had called him a dozen times on his phone so was callimg her, explaining breathing a sigh of relief hanging up.

"Uncle Rockie, can we talk?" he heard Casey sayblater, makimg him impressed and relieved she was talking to him after entering the kitchen.

"Sure we can, and sorry Stripes was not a true friend to you, but sorry, about upsetting you earlier, but your new school is pretty awesome, trust me." he said.

Casey nodded as she was drinkimg warm milk, besides eating cookies which made Rocket happy, she was feeling better, after earlier until hearing her telling him about this crazy dream she had, about another version of her, surprising Rocket that she would dream that, assuring her it was a dream even though it was pretty cool.


Casey stirred later the next morning, after dreaming getting up, despite having bed fur and hair going to the kitchens making Carol smile in reply seeing her sitting at the table while, especially after what Rocket had told her and the others, what Casey had told him about an alternate version of herself seeing the female brown-red furred youngster quiet, seeing a chubby blonde haired girl that looked like Thor which Carol understood.

"That's Thor's daughter, Thrud, who's around your and Monica's age, plus Monica's coming back in a few days, that's good right?" she said to Casey seeing her nodding while eating up, because she wanted to see what her uncle was doing.

"Is she alright, is she scared of me?" Thrud asked after Casey left.

"No, she's just shy around new people, just like her uncle, once she gets to know you, you'll be friends, like she is with my niece, Monica." Carol replied to her, hoping Rocket could make Casey smile.

Casey was excited yet nervous hearing her uncle saying they were going to Toronto, where she came from, making Rocket relieved guessing that Thrud had caught her off guard, seeing her get into his ship, as it was taking off seeing her taking an nap since she had been up late, knowing this was a good idea.

He could hear Casey talking in her sleep, makimg him smile, knowing things would be alright, but landing in Toronto knowing Casey would be excited, even though she hadn't been here since she was littler, seeing Casey awake, smirking leaving the ship, the both of them flying across the city.

"This is awesome, plus the Terrans are flipping out!" Rocket heard Casey say, gigglimg which made him happy, landing on the sidewalk stunning people only Casey was noticing trash cans closed makimg her confused, opening them making Rocket get it.

"Let's not get carried away, but I like it." he said seeing her nod.

But then she sensed a weird feeling like in her recent dreams, running off, making Rocket go after her, wondering what was going on seeing her eyes widen in surprise, seeing another kit like her, wearing leather armour, smirkimg.

"Oh crud, that's what you were telling me about, right?" he said seeing Casey nod.
