Vixen and a one or two characters that appear later in the story all belong to me, the rest belong to Marvel.
This is a sequel to Just a Couple of Experiments, yes I was doing another fanfic that was originally the sequel but thanks to writers block I couldn't come up with anything. Every time I did the story line got more and more confusing or it turns into another writers block. So I came up with this little story line, I hope you enjoy!
Rocket sat at the bar stool as he stared around the room, Gamora was busy scolding Peter, Drax was drunk as a skunk and gambling, while Groot, who was now fully grown, was observing Drax's gambling.
"Wanna hear a Hypothetical question?"
Rocket turned and saw a creature much like himself, the only difference was that she had big cream colored ears with a cream colored furry body, she had a long fluffy cream tail with a black tip and had dark green eyes with long black whiskers, she wore a black zip up hoodie with jean short that went to her knees.
Vixen had been with them for about a year now; Rocket could still remember how they met in a lab when he was kidnapped. After that she stitched up his wounds and helped him basically survive. Quill had said that she was a fennec fox that could be found in the deserts on Earth.
Rocket sighed and leaned back, "I thought you hated-"
"I hate puns, not hypothetical questions, sometimes. Now do you want me to tell you or not?"
He shrugged, "Fine, knock yourself out."
She smiled and sat up straight, "Ok, so, you're on a desert island and have no way of getting off and you happen to be stuck with Groot, Peter, and Drax. Who do you marry, who do you kill, and who do you bang?"
Rocket shook his head, "Quill asked me the same question, it's so stupid."
Vixen crossed her arms over her chest and frowned, "Maybe so but you still need to answer!"
Rocket sighed and thought about it for a moment, "Marry Groot, bang Quill, kill Drax."
Vixen's ears perked up, "Really?"
He nodded, "Yup, Drax is a big guy; I'd think he'd keep us fed for a while."
"I don't know he seems like he'd be tough meat."
"I feel like that's a pun."
She shrugged, "If it is it's not intended."
Rocket hummed before taking a shot, "What you'd do if you were in that scenario, but instead of Drax it's me."
She was quiet for a moment, "Marry Groot, eat Quill, and bang you."
Rocket huffed, "Well now you just made things awkward."
"Hey I answered the question, stop complaining."
"I'm not complaining-"
"Besides I've heard and seen you do worse."
Rocket grinned, "Well whose fault was that?"
"Yours for not locking the door."
"Rocky, Vix, we're heading out!" Peter called as Drax's arm was wrapped around his shoulders.
Vixen jumped off the bar stool and walked towards Peter with Rocket following close behind. The Guardians walked out of the bar and started to walk back to the Milano with Drax laughing and singing a song from his childhood.
Vixen pulled her ears down and growled, "Hey I'm going up ahead, I can't stand this."
"Hey I'm suffering through it and I'm helping him walk!" Peter said with a frown.
"Yeah and you chose to do that, I'll see you guys at the Milano!"
With that she ran off in the Milano's direction, Rocket looked up and Quill and then back to where Vixen ran off. He started getting a little nervous, though he would never admit it. He started to remember when he was walking to the Milano one night and the next day he was in the laboratory. He then ran off to get Vixen, to make sure she was alright.
"Hey Vix, wait up!" Rocket called as he saw the outline of her.
She turned and grinned, "Couldn't stand his singing either?"
"Yeah, but also I thought that I tag along with you, make sure nothing happens," he mumbled.
Vixen gave him a nudge, "Aw Rocky, I didn't know you cared!"
"Shut up," he growled, "Quill won't be happy if something happened and-"
She huffed in amusement, "Sure thing, Rocky."
He sighed and they continued to walk to the Milano in complete silence, Rocket had to admit that having Vixen around made him feel less lonely. Maybe it was the fact that she was the only creature he found that was like him or maybe it was because she was more determined to hang out with him then the others. He'd be lying if he said he didn't care about her, he defiantly did but he wasn't sure if it was romantically or not. Sometimes he felt like it but other times he only saw them as friends and nothing more.
"So I've been thinking of a new weapon design."
Rocket turned to her, "Oh, what type of weapon, does it destroy moons?"
Vixen grinned, "Rocky, I'd like it to destroy suns never mind moons."
He cocked his head, "Um, Vix, you do realize that-"
She wrapped her hand around his muzzle, "Yeah, yeah I know but you get what I mean, right?"
Rocket growled and shoved her hand away, "Fine, whatever, just stop grabbin' at me!"
She shook her head before continuing her walk to the ship, "Anyways, I was hoping you'd help me with it since you're an expert."
"Vixen please, you're going to make me blush," Rocket said with a grin.
"Don't flatter yourself, now I was thinking about what we're going to need-"
"If you want to destroy 'suns' then you're going to need some powerful ammo."
"Right, but where would I get stuff like that?"
Rocket was silent for a moment, "Probably Knowhere, I know they have some powerful weapons there. I'll talk to Quill about it and see if we can't stop by."
"Aw Rocky, you'd do that for little old me?"
"Not if you keep it up," he answered as they reached the Milano.
Once inside Vixen imminently darted into her room and soon came back out with a sheet of paper. She slammed it in front of Rocket and pointed at it.
"Those are the blueprints."
Rocket examined them, it looked like a massive weapon, it looked two times bigger than the one he currently used. "Listen Vix, I love big ass guns as much as you do, but I don't know if either of us could pick this thing up. Not to mention the kickback, do go through a titanium wall!"
"Tsk, tsk Rocky, how about we try it first, I mean you are one of the best weapons maker peoples in the galaxy right?"
"Well, I don't wanna brag-"
"Go ahead; just help me make the weapon!"
He groaned, "Fine, but I get to use it whenever I want."
"WHAT?! You'll never let me use it then!"
"Only if you're good I'll let you use it," Rocket said as he crossed his arms.
Vixen smirked and purred, "And if I'm bad?"
"Then I'll never let you use it."
"But it's my design!"
"I don't care!"
"What're you love birds arguing about now?" Peter groaned as Groot carried Drax over his shoulder.
Vixen quickly grabbed the paper and held it behind her back, "Nothing!" Both yelped in unison.
Peter eyed them curiously but before he could say anything Gamora had called him to the cockpit. Groot carried Drax to his room which left Rocket and Vixen alone.
She sighed and leaned against the wall, "So any other plans?"
"No, why?"
"Just making small talk," Vixen said before standing up straight, "I'm gonna head to bed, I'll talk to you tomorrow Rocky, night."
"Night Vix," Rocket responded before watching her go to her room, he then turned and went to his.
He spent most of the night just making some bombs and guns and when he felt like he was going to pass out from exhaustion he curled up into a ball and fell asleep.
