Just a short bit as I try to get ahead of a deluge of Rocket/Groot h/c fics...
Spoilers for the movie.
Warnings: Blood, torture, h/c.
Scene: The Milano’s common room. Rocket is standing on a table carefully watering Groot’s surviving bud with a tin watering can, Groot dancing in the deluge, while Quill watches.
QUILL: Hey, Rocket. Why did you start hanging out with Groot anyway?
SCENE: Flash cut to a lab somewhere, Groot cradling Rocket, naked, crying and with broken and blood stained cables hanging off the cybernetics in his back, while behind them several dead scientists are pinned to the walls with tree branches.
GROOT: I am Groot. Shhh… I am Groot…
SCENE: Back to the Milano, Rocket hops down from the table and starts walking off.
ROCKET: @#$% if I remember. He’s always been with me.
