I Am Groot

Groot, dear. Please don’t splash the students. They have a free afternoon to prepare for exams, you have my word they aren’t late for class.

Hearing the tiny ‘I am Groot’ made Fitz smile, casting his gaze downwards long enough to shoot Groot a small wink. He loved him, and he barely knew him beyond a promise to recycle and an adorably awesome little alien. And with being an adorable little alien, certain assisting had to be done on Leo’s part… like pulling out a stool for the lil’ guy at the bar. 

Groot surveyed Fitz’ clothes with interest. He had seen many the fantastical creature that night—dragons and knights, princesses and superheroes. It was quite confusing at first, seeing so many Captain Americas and Hulks but finding himself ignored when he tried to reach out to the Earthly heroes he had heard so much about; eventually, Groot had learned better, added “costume” and “fan” to his list of Earthly words. Now, looking at Fitz—dressed in a more unique costume than many Groot had set eyes on so far—he couldn’t help but smile, clapping his small hands together in excitement. He had met many detectives in his time; there was always some wise man ready to help at a port or alien planet, and while not all could be trusted, they were all certainly interesting. With his great intelligence and kind demeanor, Fitz seemed suited for the occupation.

I hope that means you’ll be there. Any snack requests?

Post Halloween Madness || Peter and Groot

Groot had been left on ship—an all too regular occurrence what with his legs being only four inches tall, and his once terrifying demeanor stooped into a single squeak.  Sitting on the other side of Rocket’s computer, Groot watched now as the Halloween party-goers trampled across the phone screen in Peter’s world, all beautiful and colorful, bright, and everything that was unique and interesting and oh-so compelling about Earthly life. Groot wanted to be a part of it all. “I am Groot!” he said, the crease of his brow and clench of his tiny fist the only indications that he could muster to tell Peter he wanted out. He wanted to walk the streets, sit on Peter’s shoulders and see the night after for himself.

“I’ve seen the internet articles about it too!  So many different theories out there. I haven’t seen that video where he was added yet though, going to check that out!”

“I am Groot!”

I am Groot!
