"Woah, this is so cool but weird at the same time, why do you think she's here?" Rocket said to Casey who was in awe at her alternate self guessimg her dream had been a vision seeing her alternate self staring at her, approaching on two paws.
"I don't know uncle!" Casey said as her alternate self grinned seeing the shocked look on Rocket's furry face that she was a thief and had been running around stealing wallets making Casey get it, fighting her using her powers, along with her alternate self impressing and worrying Rocket wanting to help seeing Casey kicking butt, putting Novacore shackles on her alternate self's paws annoying her.
"Let me go, other doofus!" she yelled making Rocket and Casey giggle going back to Rocket's ship taking Casey's alternate self with them back to the Avengers compound makimg Rocket hope Casey could calm her alternate self down, hearing her yelling which he was ignoring knowing the alternate her did not mean whatshe was saying.
"I'm alright uncle, I'm more worried about her, you know?" Casey replied to him makimg him smile.
After arriving at the compound, they were putting Casey's alternate self in a vibraium furlled cell, so she could not escape, makimg the others curious, hearing Rocket explaining makimg them impressed, by how Casey had handled herself, after Rocket had helped her out, going to the kitchen so she could get her alternate self something to eat, because she must be famished, impressing them at her empathy.
"She may be grumpy like uncle Rocket sometimes, but she must be hungry." Casey said making Rocket abree, knowing she wanted to make her alternate self her friend even if she was upset at ner, bringing the tray to where her alternate self was seeing her confused.
"I figured you might be hungry, but sorry that I had to do that, you know?" Casey said seeing her eating messily, makimg her smile.
"Why're you being nice to me, after you stopped me?" Casey heard her alternate self ask afterwards.
"It was the right thing to do, you know?" she replied to her makimg her puzzled, seeing Rocket there, before she could ask any more questions, surprised she was being calm not angry, guessing Casey was right, so was letting her handle this, even though Summer was almost over, meaning Casey would be starting her new school in New Asgard in a few days.
"You should be lucky, that Casey didn't want ti turn you over to the Novacore." he said to Casey's alternate self.
"Understood, but she's lucky to have you." she replied softly seeing him leave.
"You think my alternate self will be alright, being here?" Vasey asked.
"I guess so, but it's impressive you wanna help her, besides Monica's coming back tomorrow, that should be fun." Rocket replied, as he was tucking Casey into bed after everything that had happened today, telling her one of their stories, hearing Casey adding a kit like her alternate self, impressing Rocket.
"Just get rest, alright?" he said kissing her furry head, leaving her room, sighimg checking on his niece's alternate self, surprised that she hadn't tried to escape, thinking she was playing a trick, seeing she was sleepimg.
"Rockie, maybe Casey is growing on her, you know?" Carol said to him.
Later that next morning, Casey was awake going to the kitchens, getting pop tarts for herself, but also her alternate self, leaving there going to where her alternate self was, seeing she was still sleeping, leaving her be.
Monica was curious seeing an excited Casey hugging her makimg her giggle surprised, hearing her tell her how thimgs had gone including her alternate self, makimg Carol and Rocket relieved, seeing Thrud also awake, makimg Monica impressedthere was another kid in the compound makimg Casey understand, hopimg that her alternate self was awake.
She saw her awake, eating the pop tarts, enjoying the taste, making Casey giggle, askimg her if she had an name seeing her shake her furry head as her messy hair hung around her face, makimg her decide to think of an name for her.
"What about Celesta?" Casey asked seeing her like it, makimg Casey happy, unaware Rocket was watching impressing him.
"Maybe Casey, we'll think about it, but thanks." she replied to her making Casey smile putting her paw on the glass on where Celesta's paw was makimg Rocket emotional, guessing she was connecting with her alternate self emotionally guessing it might be a good idea to let her out of the cell.
"I needto talk to your friend alone, kit." he told Casey as she was leaving him be.
"You're letting me out, how do you know I won't escape?" she asked him.
"Because you care about Casey, Celesta." he replied to her seeing her flinch.
She would gry to prove that she was good on the inside, which Rocket understood, she just had a messed-up past like him, knowing Casey was good for her, like Groot with him, hearing Casey gigglimg, seeing Celesta's eyes widen in surprise, wondering what was going on.
"Alright, you're free, this is gonna be awesome!" Casey said happily trying to hug her, seeing her alternate self pull away making the others nervous seeing Casey alright with it, hearing her mention her uncle used to be like that, so would wait until her alternate self felt comfortable about hugs.
