(Judy's Living Room 7:00PM)

"So, let me get this straight, you stole a car," Judy asked to which Rocket nodded in reply, "To drive to a cop's house"

Judy smiled and helped Rocket out of the car, "Your leg feeling ok?"

"Hell no, you got any painkillers?"

"Yeah," Judy replied as she led Rocket inside.

The evening was quiet as Rocket was just laying on the couch studying the ceiling.

As Judy was cooking, she asked Rocket, "So, I know I asked you this already but why was he after you in the first place?"

"Me and him were good buddies when I met him, we took targets together but I had one rule: no killing." Rocket paused as Judy raised an eyebrow, surprised he was telling more than he did earlier, "Well, one day he broke that rule and dropped an innocent person off a bridge for bumping into him," Judy gasped at it and stared at Rocket, he looked back and continued, "I left quickly after that and starting working solely for Big. Yeah, I took the big assignments, which meant killing some *ahem* important folks of his, no family or anything just co-workers," Rocket took a long paused, expecting the rabbit staring at him to say anything, "hmm, anyway I killed 2 of his guys and he was pissed, so I guess he couldn't take it anymore." Rocket finally stopped talking.

"Where are you from?" Judy asked intriguingly.

Rocket cocked an eyebrow and said, "Not here." he took a deep breath and got up, winced as he did it, and walked over to Judy to look her in her purple eyes, "You're not gonna believe me."

"I swear I'm a cop I've heard stupider shit from interrogations, just tell me."

"I was a Guardian," Rocket, who was looking at the floor, looked up to see Judy looking at him with curiosity, "A, um, Guardian of The Galaxy or whatever the fuck Quill said, yeah you probably don't know what that is, anyway I was saving this place called Xandar and my friend, Peter Quill," he paused as he felt tears coming, "and he held this thing called an infinity stone and we killed this guy named Ronan, the stone had energy, powerful energy, and it ripped through me as a let go of my other friend and I dunno, I just," he looked Judy right in her eyes, "I exploded and landed here."

Judy looked in disbelief, "What?!" she couldn't hold back her chuckles.

"I told you, you weren't gonna believe me!" Rocket scowled at the bunny.

Judy frowned, "I'm sorry I just can't-"

Rocket placed his paw on her shoulder, "I know, nobody does."

"I'm just going to get dinner ready and I'll call you when it's ready ok?" Judy asked as nice as she could.

Rocket sighed and nodded, he returned to the couch and reached for the remote for the television hanging on the wall. 

(1 hour later)

"It's ready!" Judy called from the kitchen, prompting Rocket to slowly, and painfully, make his way to the table.

He sat down and looked at the bowl of soup and painkillers in front of him, "so, what is it?"

"Carrot soup, I know SUPER creative," Judy playfully said, as Rocket chuckled.

They ate and they both glanced at each other from time to time.

When both finished Rocket asked jokingly, "What's for dessert? Carrot cake?" Judy laughed and smiled.

"Sadly, no, chocolate ice cream though,"

He smirked and Judy got up to get the ice cream out of the freezer, "You might wanna wait a bit."

Rocket nodded and studied her figure as she walked away, taken by her build, he stared until she was out of view, suddenly there was a knock at the front door.

"Hey, can you get that?" Judy asked loudly.

Rocket did as told and answered the door, seeing two wolfs at her front door, instantly they pushed Rocket to the floor and bolted to the cop, pinning her down.

"What the fuck?! Wha-" Judy yelled as she was cut off by a hand over her mouth followed by the unmistakable sound of duct tape.

Rocket sprinted out of sight and was lucky enough to be next to her gun belt, he checked the clip and counted to himself, "13,14, good."

He heard the muffled yelps from Judy and the wolfs footsteps booming through the house, as one of the found Rocket, he rolled to the side, barley able to move out of the way of his attacker and shot, hit.

The wolf screamed and the other one came to his side, seeing red, he lunged for Rocket, grabbing his gun and yanking it away from him, the raccoon was faster however, and dodged the attacks, unfortunately landing on his hurt knee, he paused to cringe and felt his ribs collapse as a fist was pounded on his now tender side. Rocket was able to recover and dodge a few, landing a few successful punches to the attackers jaw, but the wolf was stronger and tackled Rocket to the ground and Judy came up behind him, shooting him dead with a spare she had.

Rocket looked up and hobbled over to her, removing the duct tape over her mouth.

"Hey, yo-" Rocket was interrupted by Judy, kissing him and rolling on the floor. When they released each other, Rocket just said, "Well... thanks."

"Don't worry about it," Judy said as she pushed herself up and helped Rocket up.

"What was that?" Rocket asked, Judy blushed.

"Sorry just, I was happy you weren't dead," Judy returned.

Rocket smiled as they went their separate ways, Judy called 911 and Rocket took some aspirin and winced as he sat down, "What a night," Rocket chuckled as he wrapped himself in the blankets Judy provided as he heard the sirens of the first responders in the distance.

(A/N: I know this sounds odd, but the cops did end up checking on Rocket here, just for some extra context sorry for the confusion, they cleared him of anything.)
