"Steamboat you alright, how come you feel sad and do you want to talk about it" Rocket asked.
"I may be a little sad, as I left my Steamboatie at home despute bringing my blaster and stuffed alligator with me here." he replied to him sniffling making Rocket understanding hugging him.
"Hmmmmm, mayge you need a new one for here, so you feel more at home." he replied seeing Steamboat thinking aboht this with a beignet poking out of his mouth like RJ with a canole in his mouth like he had a cigar in his furry lil mouth deciding to take a walk seeing Elena playing with blocks and her dad's stuffed alligator noticing her dad leaving the house, seeing Rocke drinking a virgin mint julio after when they'd went to New Orleans and he and the other Rockets had enjoyed Mardi Gras alomgside getting beads but had given most of them to the cubs.
"Now, Where's he going." Rocke said while knitting beads into a peace-sign blankie which was keeping him busy only Piper noticed Rocke was drinking a mint julio, knowing from Lylla how much fun he'd had in New Orleans which had surprised her, knowing he had fun only Shocket felt her Guardians comm going off as Linda was up to things again feeling Itsy hug her, knowing how they felt about her becoming a villain as Shocket and Rocke had been having talks to do with this, after the first time she revealed herself abd what had happened to the New Warriors.
"We've got things covered here, go kick her tail don't let her get ijto your head." Rocke told her as she and Itsy left the house making Elena, Merlin, Hiroshima, Sora and Wen wondering what was wrong so Rocke was teaching them to knit as they'd be calm impressing Lylla and Piper by this seeing Ranger, Rocket's big brother who was buff but dressedlike a cowbiy plus was stroking the blaster in his holster which to the grown ups looked like a cattle prod impressing the cubs.
"Oh hey bro, I decided to visit, plus was in Texas." Ranger told him making Rocket surprised, thinking Ranger was looking for a fight but was hugging him saying thanks for pretending to be him, as when he told others in the galaxy his name, they freaked out hearing Rocke giggling asking Rocket why he pretended he was his brother seeing Ranger grin.
"It was a running joke, you seem to be making friends with Ranger." Rocket said surprised.
"Yeah well, I never had a big brother growing up, well until we met." Rocke replied after explaining to his big brother about the other Rockets hoping Steamboat was alright telling Rocke he had been feelijg down and had went for a walk saying if he didn't return soon, they'd have to go lookijg for him.
"No need for that, I'm back abd thanks, Rocket Prime, what you said helped." Steamboat told him making Elena hug her dad's furry leg making the others wonder, what was going on.
The nedt morning however they found out, finding a steamboat in the backyard excited along with Elena making the other Rockets surprised and Rocket face-palm seeing the cubs impressed, only Steamboat was unaware of the chaos he'd just caused without consulting them abiut this making Piper gulp seeing an angry Rocke only Shocket pulled her father in law aside asking what he'd told Steamboat which had encouraged the New Orleans accented male to do this.
"He was down about missing his steamboat so I told him he should have one here, I didn't tell him to do this." Rocket replied to her seeing the cubs helping Elena and Steamboat move ijto their new boathouse, which Merlin had asked him about seeing Lylla squeezing Rocket's paw gently knowing it had been a honest mistake and had been trying to make Steamboat feel better, going inside to make coffee and breakfast which might defuse the tension seeing RJ there in his pyjamas, asking what all the yelling had been about seeing Ranger smile, his nephew was adorable.
"Uncle Steamboat misunderstood something daddy told him to make him feel better and your uncles and aunt are using their words to express their upset." Lylla said to him hearing Ranger ask if he'd like bacon seeing him frowning.
"No thanks uncle Ranger, I don'tveat other animals being Therian, didn't my daddy or mommy tell you along with Shocket." RJ replied in an nice tone
"Sorry partner, I didn't know." Ranger said seeing Rocket making Groot Morning pancakes with RJ helping impressing Ranger enjoying the smells coming hearing the others rush in making RJ giggling knowing how famous his dad's pancakes were seeing Ranger enjoying them hoping breakfast might lighten the moods of the adults seeing his cousins agreeing noticing Hiro was playing his Switch making Elena frowning
