"Huh, what's that souhd and it sounds sad." Herbert wondered as he was wandering the hallways of his parents's ship but was lonely until he'd heard crying seeing a raccoon-cub that was female stunning the blue-skinned boy guessing she was one of his parent's experiments
"Awwww it's okay, are you lonely too and guess you escaped from the lab, don't worry I won't take you back there, oh yeah you've gotva subject mark on your arm." he toldher hearing his parents angrily talking making both youngsters gulping but Herbert had the cub tucked in under his shirt running to his room locking the door relieved seeing the cub peeking out of his shirt.
"Are we safe now." she asked seeing him nodding.
"Uh-huh my parents will be too busy to coje in here, would you like a name, oh yeah I'm Herbert." he told her seeing her looking at a poster of the planets in the Terran solar system.
"Jupiter, that's my name, my friend." she told him making him smile,
Jupiter grinned, as her ship landed in New York on Terra 615 knowing her cubs were here and after traversing the Galaxy, she'd missed them and Herbert so had been thinking about that night when she'd first met Herbert as a cub and had shown her kindness plus Casey's birthday was coming up knowing she was older than the baby she'd entrusted her to a Terran female but pushed her pilot goggles up off her eyes but was activating the cloakijg device so no Terrans would discover it and flip out but scampering to Rocket's apartment hoping he wouldn't be surprised if she showed up.
"What the heck, mom what're you doijg here and dies dad know, and Casey's takihg a nap." Rocket told her
"I missed you guys after being in thecGalaxy too long, and I'll explain to her if shecwakes up, and gets curious." Jupiter told him as she was making coffee for herself as she was stiff after sitting in a cockpit for too lomg stunning Lylla getting where he came from seeing Jupiter winking at her knowing this was her cub's soulmate knowing she had many questions hearing footsteps making Jupiter gasp.
"Casey… whoa you grew up beauitful." she said making the female-cub stare.
"Casey we have something to talk about." Rocket told her.
"Ohhh crutack, how's she my mom, so confused." Casey said.
"Jupiter is our mom and after she had you she wanted to traverse the Galaxy so she fouhd Kendra to take care of you until she returned but then things got crazy, when the Kree intervened." Rocket told her noticing she looked confused or processing her feelings about this leaving making Jupiter sigh.
"Give her time, mom but mayge Branchie and Oreo can help her." he told her.
"I hope so,, let me guess, she's been practicing her powers since I was gone." she said.
"Maybe but just let her be." Rocket told her over coffee
