Laughter echoed through the compound, despite it being late night/early morning as Casey was being chased by her uncle, Rocket because it was way padt her bedtime so being three and a half, the female kit needed her sleep, plus he'd set up her room that was warm but welcoming, Casey just did not want to sleep there.
"Come on kiddo, aren't you tired, don't you wanna sleep in your room?" Rocket said to her, tackling but playing with her, hearing her giggle because she was having fun but not wanting to stop, as the games were making her feel better, because her uncle had brought her to the Avengers compound to be with him a few days ago, making Rocket realise this, guessing she was not used to being here.
"I'm not tired, I wanna keep playing, uncle Rockie!" Casey said yawning, relieving Rocket, knowing once she fell asleep, he could take her to her room, knowing she would get used to living here in time, singing to her seeing the female multi-powered kit out like a light.
He was carrying Casey back to her room, tuckimg her into her bed, putting her stuffed Groot near her, after putting on her nightlight, leaving her room, going to his, taking off his armour, getting into bed, lying on his furry side zoning out into sleep.
That later morning, Rocket felt something beside him, makijg his eyes flutter open, seeing Casey lying there beside him, guessing she had wanted to sleep with him, which made a smile cross his furry face, letting her be trying not to wake her up, while he was getting out of his bed putting on his armour for the day, leaving his room going to the kitchen.
"Somebody's in a good mood, I see?" Carol said to told her, makimg her smile thinkijg of her young niece, Monica chuckling hearing him tell her what had happened last night, making her guess that Casey was not used to being here yet, seeing Rocket nod while drinking coffee, because his niece had lived with her folks in Toronto, so understood that she was still adjusting to moving here, guessing once she made friends, she would feel better.
"Morning, uncle rabbit, is Casey alright?" Thrud, Thor's young daughter said entering the kitchen, making Rocket smile at the female youngster, who was chubby like her dad, knowing Casey would love the playground in Central Park, getting an idea.
After a while, he saw Casey up which relieved him, seeing her eating, hearing her excited about going to the park, to have some playground time, unaware of her uncle's motive getting ready, after eating humming to herself, and after that was leaving with her uncle.
He knew that his young niece was confused by the many people walking around, until they got to Central Park, making Casey pretty happy to explore the playground, running around, using her powers, being careful making Rocket smile, as he saw Sif and Thor with Thrud who was happy, to see Casey happily playing, on the equipment.
"Why don't you go play?" Sif said to Thrud, making the female Asgardian youngster happily run off, making Rocket hopeful that Casey and Thrud would become friends, while Sif and Thor were laying out a picnic.
"Hi there, I'm Thrud Odinson, my daddy is Thor." Thrud said to Casey, who upon seeing the female Asgardian youngster had became unseen through her cloaking power, because she was unsure.
"You're not going to be mean to me, right?" Thrud heard Casey ask, wondering why the female kit had asked that, hearing Casey tell her.
"No I'm not, as my daddy and your uncle are best friends." Thrud said seeing Casey re-appear relieving the female Asgardian youngster as they were getting to know each other, makijg Rocket, Sif and Thor happy about this, knowing Rocket's plan was bearing fruit because he cared deeply about his niece.
