A/N
Be-boop here's more and hope you guys like the update, plus it involves Rocket being emotional and sharing something very personal with Nebs, and it's something you see the High Evloutionary do to him in the new trailer but Rocke helps him too.
In this one, Rocket learns some of his family are alive out there which ignites a flurry of emotions but Rocke along with Nebula help him navigate his feels plus he's stunned that Rocke has a mark too being in the Weapon J program
I hope you enjoy.
I can't believe it, they're alive but scattered across the galaxy, maybe Nebs can help and keeping this a secret from the others until I can find them, they must need help after what he did to us.
"Dadfy come quick, Aunt Gamora and Mama Bula are wrestling." Rocket heard RJ say making him jump.
It was a month or two after he and Nebula had been turned into kids which had strengethed their bond, but after becoming their normal selves, Nebula had snuck onto Wondergore finding a flash-drive involving Rocket's family, his birth-family bringing it back to the Milano giving it to him saying when he felt ready, he should look at it but he'd been anxious in case it was bad news, and what the High Evloutionary always told him had been true so after taking a deep-breath and shakily typing in the password had brought up old files revealing most of his siblings were okay that the High Evloutionary had lied, feeling a lump in his furry throat wiping the tear away following RJ hearing Nebula yelling about to storm off, until she saw him with a lot of emotion in his eyes.
"RJ, go play in your room alright, dad and Nebs need to chat." she said.
"Okay, and guess it's grown-up stuff, right." the male-cub said seeing Rocket nod, seeing him go into his room before he and Nebula went to talk, showing her what he'd learnt making Nebula open mouthed in surprise noticing her furboy was quiet, very quiet which bothered her and made her nervous seeing a confused look on his furry face, his snout scrunched up in thought with his whiskers sticking out guessing he was processing this information.
"This is good news right, but how does make you feel, really feel, you always thought there was only one of your kin, if you want, I'm here or do you want alone-time." she asked him hearing silence until he tacklehugged her feeling warm tears hit herchest as she knew this was a buttload for him to take in, rubbing his armoured back as he cried unaware the others could hear, so Nebula locked his door, so they couldn't butt in or see him like this, seeing a Groot vine unlock the door.
"Holy crutack, is the rodent okay, what did you do." Drax asked making Nebula annoyed.
"Everybody out, out now before Nebs tazes you." Rocket yelled feeling angry the others had butted in, and Drax thinking Nebula had did something to him, making the others gulp leaving the room fallijg onto his big bed hearing Nebula ask if he wanted something to drink nodding, seeing her leaving only she noticed the bandage on his furry arm, knowing right now was not the best time to ask, he was emotionally tender from what he'd learnt so did not want to rub salt in the wound as Quill said leaving his room wiping tears away heading to the kitchen looking for the lavender tea, as that calmed her furboy down when he was this emotional.
"Mama Bula, is daddy okay, I heard him crying and yelling, plus you're making his special tea." RJ told her.
"Yeah, daddy found out something interesting involving his past, you know so I'm making his tea to cheer him up, umm has daddy shown you what's under the bandage on his arm." she said.
"Uh-huh but promised to keep it a secret, as it makes him sad, you can make him better with a story." he replied to her.
"Good idea, and what happened inspured me to tell a story but why's Rocke doijg here." she said.
"I needed something Rocket was lookijg after which we were working on, the last time I visited, but is everything okay, as I sense distress." he told her as she explained what was happening, seeing a shocked look on the make-tenuki's face opening Rocket's door seeing him knitting makijg them relieved thinking he'd go lookijg for his sibs noticing he was looking at the holo photos of them feeling a paw on his shoulder, realising it was just Nebula and Rocke.
"Sorry if we frightened you or pulled you out of the zone, I came to get the taoestry then Nebs told me, you know and understand how you're feeling because if I found that out, i'd hit the ceiling but you're gonna go find them, right." Rocke said seeing Rocket quiet with his bodybtense up in anxiety, however the scent of lavender was helping breathing in, then out.
"I-I don't know, what if they reject me, or brainwashed by him like Gammy and Nebs were by Thanos before they became part of our awesome family, or if Weapon X orvJ has them plus I don't know how to find them." he confessed biting his lower lip making them get it hugging him but some tea soaked through the bandage on Rocket's arm revealing numbers.
"89P13, what does that mean, something personal right, sorry I asked." Nebula said seeing him opening a drawer, taking outva bandage, taking the soaked one off but Nebula saw it plainly seeing the word Subject above the numbers makijg Rocke gasping in shock.
"H-He marked you, just like they did to me, the men in suits." he said siftly seeing Rocket sigh, then stunned as the male-tenuki pulled up his sleeve revealijg a mark but in Japanese, seeing Rocket touch it gently.
"Yep, I was in the Weapon J program, stolen from my mama as a baby given super-soldier serum, cybernetics too but escaped before they could brainwash me so I know how that mark makes you feel, but it doesn'tbdefine you boy.
You're still you, who becameva corking mate and kicks tail for our kin along with being a dada." he told him seeing him close the drawer stunning Nebula he wasn't going to cover it up.
"Atta boy but we'll take it slow." he said.
"Yeah let's do that, Arigatou." Rocket said.
The others were surprised and relieved that a certain somebody was joining them for dinner as Nebula had made cheeseburgers which she knew Rocket and RJ loved and she wanted her boys to be happy right now, especially Rocket as he'd been pretty emotionally charged noticing the others staring at the mark on their friend's arm with Quill thinking it was a tattoo hearing RJ growl at his uncle.
"It's okay buddy, as uncle Rocke helped me feel better about it, yeah it's a tramp stamp, Quill that the High Evloutionary gave me, by the way I was a baby." Rocket said stuffing fries in his mouth so he wouldn't say anything in front of RJ which Nebula was impressed by seeing him doing dishes as that was relaxing him hearing him yawning knowing he needed an nap and a story seeing him nodding but putting RJ to bed first even though they'd planned to watch the Contest of Champions but recording it so they could watch it another time, telling the male cub about him being in the Contest impressing not just RJ but Nebula too.
"Yes, I did and won, but it's dangerous, so don't get ideas." he told RJ
"I won't but you're not covering up the mark anymore." he told him.
"It doesn't define him or who he is, but where he came from." Nebula said as she and Rocket kissed him goodnight turning the on before they left the room closing the door softky
