Recapture || Ward and Rocket || SHIELD!Verse
It had taken a lot of processing, tests of his mind, body and cybernetics before they'd even let him undergo SHIELD training. At first he'd been dreading it, assuming that their training would be something akin to the training Hydra put him through. Lots of painful learning experiences if you weren't quick enough or smart enough.
It was nothing like that, it simply tested his limits, to his relief and before long he was finally field-ready.
His first mission? Grant Ward. Bring him in by any means necessary.
With his skills, his ability to track and follow someone unnoticed, as no one ever expected a raccoon to be a threat, it didn't take long. Especially due to his intricate knowledge of Hydra hangouts.
"So, Grant Ward, right?" Rocket breathed as the door opened, his gun trained on the doorway as he sat perched in wait on the windowsill of the hotel room.
