"Come on kiddo, you can do it, take your first steps for daddy!" Rocket said to Kari makimg Carol and the others mused but surprised by what the brown-red furred male was doing with his adopted daughter, knowing Kari would walk and talk when she was ready noticing the mini video camera on the infant's furry head.

"Rockie, be patient as she will, plus why did you attach a camera to her head?" Carol said, seeing Rocket distracted because of Kari being cute to answer.

"I did it with Kade my eldest kit, when she was Kari's age, so why not?" Rocket replied making them a bit surprised by his reasoning, letting him be since it was Chilli Night and did not want a repeat of last time, when a certain somebody had tried making chilli while the others had been on a mission, to the point where chilli had exploded all over the kitchen in the compound.

"He was only trying to help, since we had been called on a mission." Hulk said to them.

They could hear laughter, as Rocket and Groot were playing with Kari, besides Rocket trying to get her to walk, knowing rushing her was a bad idea, so was leaving them be unless they wanted an upset Rocket so was letting them be, unaware Kari was crawling after ants making Hope giggle at this, hoping Scott did not see, or he might flip scooping the ants up, before the infant did damage.

"It's alright sweetie, let's go find something else to do." Rocket said to Kari as she was a little upset, giving him an idea but he needed to put a car seat in his ship, making Groot curious about what he was up to, hearing Rocket ask him to distract Kari until he was done.

"I am Groot, I am Groot." Groot replied as he was calming Kari down, using his vines making Kari calmer.

After a while, Rocket was back but putting a helmet on Kari's furry head, taking her from Groot, saying they were going flying, making Groot guess why his friend had put the car seat in the ship to keep Kari safe if they did go flying, gettimg into the ship, bucklimg Kari into her seat beford takimg off hearing the infant giggle as they took off, impressing Rocket doimg aerial stunts and loops, hearing his little one enjoying it.


"Wow somebody's fired up, what were you doing?" Carol asked Rocket, seeing and hearing Kari excitable while banging her teeny tiny furry paws on the highchair table like Rocket pressing the cockpit buttons, babbling in baby talk excited.

"We were flying, to calm her down, but she really liked it, from what I can see." Rocket said.

"More like rile Kari up, than calm her down, you know?" Hawkeye said making Carol sigh, because she knew that Rocket cared about Kari deeply so knew sooner or later he would take Kari flying in his ship, remembering seeing Kari wearing a helmet when they were leabing.

"Heah I applied a car seat, to keep her safe, I am not letting her get hurt." Rocket said, making Groot sense he was getting mad, seeing Kari getting messy distracting him, relieving the others seeing him go clean her up knowing he was a good father to Kari, like sharing the joy of flight with her.

"Thanks sweetie for helpimg keep my cool, as I can get mad easy." Rocket said while cleaning her up.
