Casey was stunned seeing that her mentor and best friend was hanging out with Howard, as Groot had told her the avian life form was a friend of Rocket's seeing Kade nod as she was excited, because she was on an internship with Avengers plus was developing tech to benefit kids like her and Rocky which she kept a secret from her dad, knowing he would have a cow, so was seeing her aunt focusing and using her powers sonce Stripes was sleeping and Rocky was with Kaley.

"Stripes fell asleep, after I told her a few stories, and sang to her." Casey assured Kade.

"Yeah, but Rocky has been really good about it, despite zoning out in class-" Kade said covering her mouth with her paws.

Casey was surprised by this, but guessed that Stripes being here was affecting Rocky, so hoped that Flora could calm her down, sighing as she was seeing Rocket there, seeing a few minor injuries wondering what the heck he had been doing, getting the first aid kit, like when Kade or Rocky got hurt sometimes.

"Howard and I were hanging out, alright, like guy stuff?" he said as she was unsure.

"Doesn't look like it to me, plus Rocky is needing attention, wanna watch Stripes for a bit?" Casey said.

He nodded guessing things could be fun, hoping Casey's younger kit might have powers like her, Kade and Rocky so it might be fun seeing Casey wrap bandages around his wrist.

"Sorry, but it'll heal in a bit, but let's hope Rocky is alright." Casey told him.

While she was gone, he was taking care of Stripes feeding her plus getting an idea, getting into his ship, makijg the female infant kit excited as he was taking her for a ride, which she was loving hoping that Casey did not mind this.

"Yeah as I did this with Kadey, when she was little." Rocket told her.

Meanwhile, Casey and Rocky were hanging out and doing stuff, plus we're having ice cream, which was making Rocky very happy and hoped that Stripes was alright, impressed that Rocket was looking after her sister seeijg Casey nod.

Kade grinned as she was in Avenger Tower, being let loose since Captain Marvel had sensed great potential in her, so was helping her but right now, Kade was inventing using the tech resources that they had, hoping her dad was alright after whatever crazy scheme he had been doing with Howard, guessing Casey knew breathing deeply, hearing giggles, seeing what looked like a mini Hulk that was female, who was very curious about Kade.

"This is Erika, and yes she's related to the Banner family." Carol told her making Kade impressed.

"Cool, but is she smart like Hulk?" Kade asked her seeing Carol nod in reply.

"Yes as she is very smart, but nervous about herself." Carol said to her making the female raccoon kit curious wanting to be her friend making Eriks hug her gently making Kade grin letting her help her with stuff, making Carol grin along with Hulk because he knew his niece got lonely so Rocket's daughter befriending her was a good thing.

Later that night, Casey was impressed that Kade had made friends with Hulk's niece, making Rocket impressed that this was happening
