Yeah, yeah, I know it's been. what? 4 months. Yeah I'm sorry... Would say I've been busy but I'd be lying to be honest. Just procrastination. Anyway, here's the long awaited chapter 3.

"So, you probably know why we're here." Rocket questioned to which Oliver nodded in response.

"It's not subtle that you're here to talk about Nick, and I swear I haven't seen him...." Oliver paused watching the leopard walk out of the room. Confused, Rocket turned to meet his gaze, calling out to his partner, "Yo! Lance you alright?"

Unbeknown to the raccoon, Lance was feeling the effect of not talking his meds, rage pent up in his mind, swirling with previously shot down thoughts, he then kept himself somewhat calm when Rocket appeared behind him, slightly jumping as he saw him. 

"Yup! I'm a-okay! Never better!" Lance nervously answered, trying to fight back his now spiraling mental state. Rocket cocked an eyebrow at this and then turned back and walked back to Oliver, continuing to ask questions not before muttering "weirdo"

That's what pushed Lance over the edge, his eyes flicked red as he charged towards Rocket, slamming him against the wall as a punch was directed towards said raccoon, then pinned him against the wall. This completely shocked the raccoon as he tried so hard to get out of the leopards grip. 

"WHAT THE- UH- FUCK" Rocket screamed as Lance's eyes flicked back to his original color, dropping Rocket to the ground with a slight thud. 

Lance was completely in a trance, did he teleport? Did he just hit Rocket? What happened? Not that Rocket knew this, he was beyond pissed. The raccoon retaliated with a punch to the confused leopards face before storming over to the Fox sitting  on the couch, scared to what was about to happen. 

"Sorry about the mess in your kitchen... we got to go though, I'll be back to ask more questions, thanks." Rocket stated, obviously mad beyond belief. 

The leopard just sat in the kitchen, dumbfounded at the actions that had just occurred. He then followed Rocket out of the house and into the police car. Rocket could now release the yelling and screaming he wanted to, but didn't for some reason. 

"Let's... go" Rocket breathed, starting the engine and staring at Oliver who waved goodbye, only to receive one from Lance, not the raccoon.

ZPD Headquarters

Rocket said nothing as he entered the building and walked over to the Chief's office, slamming the door closed. Lance stood nearby and heard Rocket talking and then yelling about what had just occurred, he then appeared outside of the door shoved a case file in Lance's hand and beckoned him to follow. The leopard was confused but followed. Rocket then sighed.

"Pull something like that again, and I'll make sure you never have a job again, Bogo just took us off the case, thanks fuck face, I'm going home, you get the great job of taking notes on this brand new case!" Rocket exclaimed full of sarcasm. Lance's ears dipped, sad that he upset the raccoon.

"Well, whatever I did, I do apologize." 

"WHATEVER YOU DID? YOU FUCKING THREW ME AGAINST A WALL AND PUNCHED ME!"

"I. did?"

"Yes!" 

Lance stood shocked as his shoulders slumped down, sad, and he winced as the door slammed, Rocket the culprit of the sound.

Rocket and Judy's Apartment

Judy hummed idly as she stirred a pot of carrot stew, for herself, thinking Rocket would be home WAY later. Then she heard keys enter the lock in the front door, Rocket then entered. 

"I thought you worked late" Judy stated to the raccoon who looked at her, thought for a second then answered

"I, got dumped on the shitty garbage case, luckily I got another guy to do it, so I get some time for mysel- er, us!"

"That's good, I made food for me but I can make more if you need"

"Yeah, thanks"

Judy and Rocket's relationship wasn't complex, they kissed occasionally, worked together a lot, could stand each other, and basically did everything like it was a team up or something. The only bad thing Rocket could note was that Judy was a bit of a pusher when it came to hard topics, seeming to never read a room right. She could read people really well, that was the problem.

"Everything ok?" Judy asked, turning off the stove 

"No Judes. A friend I used to know, well, died... That was that case I was working on, then my new partner fucked up and got us taken off the case."

"Oh Rocky, I'm sorry" Judy turned to her lover, walking over to him, kissing him.

"It's whatever. I love you" Rocket followed with a kiss of his own. 

This then turned into a make out session, both occasionally moaning softly as Judy and Rocket both went to the couch, falling against each other, Judy stopped herself and cuddled up to the raccoon, both happy to be in each others arms.

well there's my first chapter in a few months, it was BAD I know, I'll pick up the pace with action later, just wanted to get a bit of relationship building done
