Branchie giggled, tucked into the hood of Casey's hoodie as the female-kit was skateboarding around Prospects Park as she was brainstormibg how to help Kaci but aboht joining the Junior Dynasty doing tricks but being carefulplus wearing a helmet with knee-pads but heard those mean Terran kids who tried to stop her from playing on the playground even though she knew the park and playgroubd was for everybody like Rocket had told her. She just ignored them like Rocket and their dad had told her feeling a baseball hit her ear growling taking deep-breaths not wanting her powers to spurt out, give them more reasobs to be mean to her.

"I am Groot." she heard Branchie whisper to her seeing her nodding. "I'm okay, it just hurts a lil but we don't let those stinkbraibs bother us like Rockie told us. Besides there's other things to think aboht like Kaci and how we can help her." Casey replied to her noticing those mean kids staring because they couldn't see Branchie who was tucked in Casey's hood.

"Let's go get a treat, and bribg one home for Kaci." Casey told Branchie leaving the park giggling confusing the group of kids as they'd never seen a kid like her who was a talking raccoon knowing she was from space or a mutant which to them justified their being mean.

Meanwhile, Casey was at the local 7-11 with Branchie, using her money to get her and Branchie a treatnoticibg Free Slurpie Day was comibg up making her and Branchie smirking getting cookies for them, plus they could share with Kaci which Branchie liked the idea of noticibg the clerk staribg at Casey's claws which made the female-kit sighing reassuring her she wasn't going to hurt her, just wanting to buy treats. "Here's your change." the clerk said nervously

"Thank you, come on Branchie." Casey said leaving the store but the female-sapling noticed she was sad wiping tears away and returning to the house relieving Rocket saying Kaci was talking to her dad onvideo-chat while he was in Liverpool seeing it was lunchtime and Kaci feeling a lil better hugging was makibg her feel better seeing Casey had bought cookies at the 7-11 knowing she'd sharewith Kaci.

"Awwwww, good super-strong hug just like the ones I give Branchie." she told her. "Thanks Casey but you have an owie on your ear. How did this happen." she asked her. "Ohhh sone mean kids threw a baseball at me." Casey replied to her surprising her along with Rocket seeing her rolling her eyes.

"Why would you put up with kids like that, if they're mean and say terrible things to you. I mightn't know you well but can tell you're nice." Kaci replied to her.

"Because the park's for everybody not just a bunch of stinkbrain Terran kids who want the playground for themselves and I also wanted to skateboard. Rockie told me to just ignore them." she told her eating. This made Kaci impressed knowing in her dimension, kids were mean to her knowing she was a mutant but it didn't seem to bother her 616 self

"Rockie helps me, along with our dad." Caseytold her.

"Ohhhhh, that's cool but you are safe." she told her.

"The Rockie in my dinension is the president of NewRaccoon City and one of my best friends, Shocket is his kit and a lot of fun." she said making both Casey and Rocket's jaws drop. They listened as Kaci told them about the city and what school was like but Rocket Senior frowned hearing the Dynasty were outlawed there or the Terrans that had lived there were displaced in Australia.
