"Wait, you have a kit now, what is it, a boy or a girl? Lylla asked.

"A girl and her name'd Shocket, Tivon made her from my genes, oh and she is sou,lmates with Howards's daughter, Linda Duckman." Rocket replied.

That's awesome, is that why you've been bisy?

"Yep Pretty Lady that's why, Shocket is a bit emotionally fragile, so we habe to be gentle, you too whdn you meet her." he replidd hangimg up imawsre Shocket was still up and listening to her dad's conversation as she was spending the night at the compound, only she couldn't sleep due to bad dreams and Linda was not tnerr, to comfort her so she had svamprred out of the room that her dad had set up, to his, waiting until he fell asleep, so sje could get into hid without him sayimg no.

Her persistemce paid off seeing him get into bed, and after je had fallen deep asleep, she climbed in, feelimg better and safer falling asleep at once, until the morning surprising Rocket that Shocket had slept in his bed with him, only he guessed she couldn't sleep by herself, plus she looked really cute right now, gettimg up and putting on his dressing robe, seeimg that Shocket was still in her clothes from yesterday, which made him smile, letting her sleep since she had a lomg day yesterday, seeing her awsken, as he opened the door.

"Hey it's alright, you're safe, okay?" he reassured her.

"S-sorry, I forgot alright?" she said breathimg deeply.

"It's okay, I get it, let's get something to eat." he told her.

But when theu got there, they werr surprised seeimh a young male raccoon kit in TVA coveralls thst looked familiar to Shocket seeing him smirk and wink at her dad, seeimg some of her dad's fridnds there, but the kit was distracting her from being shy, goimg ober to him, noticing he didn't talk much human yet, so was talkimg in raccoon talk impressing the adults and surprising Rocket.

"Umm, what's a bariant, because he saus he's a variant of my dad." /)3 replied.

"A variant is a different version of yourself from amother timelime, but I guess he ran awsy, and the TVA arrested him, andhe escaped which is awesome, but we should look sfter him." Rocket told her seeing her nodding excitedly already adopting him as a fridnd, getting him food makimg him happy which made the adults surprised.

"Back when we served Tivon, Linda and I had to fend for ourselves so I can relate to RJ." she said.

Rocket chuckled guessing if she was happy with sharimg him, then RJ could be her bro, making her happy alomg with RJ hugging his gurry legs..

Rocket's phone then went off, as it was Lyla, saying that she'd entered Terran airspace, making his brown-furred cheeks go pink besides feeling excited, making Shocket confused, alomg with RJ going to get something to eat, as she had woken up late scratching her arm, which Rocket noticed, knowing he did that when his cybernetics made him itchy, making his eyes widen, that Tivon had put cybernetics in her, so would ask later.

"RJ needs to be checked out, alomg with Shockie, alright?" he said seeing Brice nod.

"You're not gonna add more cybernetics, right?" Shocket said worried.

Rockets's stomach twisted a little hearing this from her, understanding, assuring her that would not happen, he and the others wanted to make sure she was alright, alomg with RJ, deciding that Lylla could wait, he needed to make sure Shocket was okay alomg with RJ impressing Carol. that he was being overprotective of Shocket.

"Yep, Tivon put cybernetics in your little girl, which the scans confirm, you alright?" Bruce said seeing Rocket nodding.

"Tivon is so getting what's coming to him!" he replied fired up seeing Shocket shake her head.

"He'll just do something to you, and I don't want anything to happen to you." she said.

That surprised him, understanding her reasoning, hugging her and RJ gently, deciding to wait to introduce them to Lylla seeing them running around chuckling, going to meet Lylla seeing her ship landing in the hangar-bay seeing the armoured female otter hug him kissing him, making him chuckle, hearing her ask where Shocket was, hearing him telling her, that she was not ready yet which she understood leaving the hangar-bay.


Linda was impressed, hearing Shocket telling her about RJ and her sleepover at the compound, along with Lylla makimg her and Howard impressed, hoping that Rocket was alright, with his soulmate being here, alomg with having a younger variant of himself being his son, seeimg Shocket nodding eating chocolate pudding makimg Linda giggle, at her soulmate being a furry dork seeimg Howard smirk at the female kits's antics.

"I'm glad you're having fun with your pops, even though you're both getting used to each other." he told her.

She nodded in reply, plus something was on the young kits's mind, she wanted to make friends with other kits in the city, only they came out at night giving her an idea, maybe she could sneak out later, to try and make raccoon friends deciding to keep this to herdelf, knowing her dad, Linda and Howard would flip, if they knew she was thinking seeing it was late and Howard had left for the night, sneakijg out using the fire escape climbing down, grinning feeling excited.

She could smell the hot night air, as her eyes adjusted to the darkness, seeing another kit her age surprised, that she lived in the apartment building, listening to Shocket introduce herself, following the new friend into the night having fun, getting snacks and just being a kit loving how friendly Peach was, surprised she was a huge fan of her dad, not knowing her hero's kit was her new pal.

"I'll see you tonight, but I gotta get home, okay?" Shocket said seeing Peach nod.

Shocket then made it back to the apartment, climbing back up the fire escape, back into her and Lindas's room, seeing Linda impressed by this, listening to Shocket telling her, makimg her soulmate impressed, promising not to tell Howard relieving her hearing Howard saying breakfadt was ready, wondering why Shocket was tired, as she was normally full of energy unaware of what she'd been doing.
