"I told you, that chug contest at Starling's was a bad idea, but let's get you home and into bed plus you're gonna be sore in the morning but we should tell RJ you're not feeling good." Nebula told Rocket leaving Starling's Tavern pretty late at night knowing he'd left RJ home alone reassuring the male-cub he'd be back in a hour until Kraklin and Quill had convinced Rocket, to join their chug relay team, despite Nebula saying this was a bad idea and she was right despite Rocket being crowned the King of Chug.
"He's used to seeing me like this after a chug contest, I tell him I'm sick but then he takes care of me like the lil man of the house." Rocket told her making Nebula impressed but concerned, RJ was a lil cub so was wanting to help him even though he was used to seeing his dad in this kind of shape only Rocket lied, about why he wasn't feeling so hot to keep RJ innocent.
It was late-night on Knowhere and Rocket had been at Starling's Tavern but had decided to take part in a chug relay which had amused Drax and Quill but worried Nebula so was carrying him home just in case he got lost on his way home knowing RJ would worry about his dad so surprised when she heard RJ helped him out in these situations arriving at his house entering seeing RJ had made a fort in the living-room amusing Nebula guessing he'd been amusing himself, until his dad came home
"RJ are you in there honey, it's Mama Bula and daddy isn't feeling too good." she said peeking inside.
She then saw the male-cub scamper out of the fort and saw his das wasn't feeling good getting the hot water bottle telling Nebula to put his dad in bed afterche went to the bathroom' hearijg Rocket throwing up makijg RJ understand as he was pullijg the blanket of his dad's bed down so he could get in impressing Nebula, at how mature he was being plus grabbed clean pyjamas out of his dad's drawer putting them on the bed, heading to the kitchen.
"Daddy needs ginger ale to settle his sore tummy, which happens when he's like this." he told Nebula.
"Why don't you go get ready for bed, I think I can help your daddy." Nebula said to him.
"I gotta take care of my daddy when he's like this, like how he takes care of me." he told her making her sigh, knowing Rocket being RJ's dad was his job besides being leader of the Guardians and vice-dean of Avengers Campus explaining to him he was the cub not the grown up and she'd help his dad out, seeing him go get ready for bed relieving Nebula
Kraklin and Quill gulped, as Nebula was quiet at the team-meeting the next morning knowing she was mad at them because they'd been the ones that had convinced Rocket to join their team for the chug relay last night at Starling's and why Rocket wasn't feeling good this morning alomg with him having to tell Carol that he couldn't come to Avengers Campus because of how he was feeling which Nebula feltva good idea.
"How's the King of Chug this morning." Quill asked her making Mantis gulp.
"He's asleep in bed hung-over because of you morons." Nebula replied
After the team-meeting, Nebula was blowing off steam doing target practice but taking deep-breaths feeling better after that, seeing RJ playing on the playgroubd guessing he was giving his dad time to rest, smiling seeing him hug her leg.
"Yeah, daddy needed to rest after you gave him meds, thank Groot you guys don't have a mission." he told her.
"Yeah, you have a point honey, buthe'll be okay." she reassured him.
Later that night, she saw RJ and Rocket eating pancakes guessing Rocket hadn't felt up to cooking or didn't have enough units for takeaway hearing him saying he was sorry.
"It wasn't your fault, Kraklin and Quill goaded you ijto that chug relay, we've got your back, Groot too as he was worried about you." Nebula told him.
"Thanks, I've got your backs too." he said to her.
