Parker looked out the door... then looked down. Standing in the doorway was a raccoon in a jumpsuit, about four feet tall and standing on his hind legs. Parker immediately recognized the distinct figure - it was Rocket Raccoon, one of the Guardians of the Galaxy.
"C'mon kid, we don't got all day." Before Parker could even say anything, Rocket had already turned around, starting to trot his way back to the limo that was parked in front of Parker's house (quite fancy, he noted...). Parker realized that this hero wasn't going to be helping him with his bags... which was somewhat understandable, considering some of them were a good deal bigger than him. That gave Parker the seed of an idea, though...
Quickly picking up his bags, the boy ran to catch up with Rocket, managing to do so quite easily. "So, um... if I'm going to live with the X-Men... why are you here?"
As he walked, Rocket looked up at the kid, eyeballing his form and taking in all the info he could gather. "All the guys at the institute are busy - as usual - and apparently I owe the ol' Professor a favor. So he asked me to come pick you up and make sure you stayed safe till you got there."
Rocket jogged ahead of him, clicking open the trunk and stepping aside, gesturing for Parker to put his bags in. Parker complied, stepping forwards and starting to load the car up, but thoughts were swimming through his mind. Rocket was probably tired of being the short, scrawny one of the group... and to be honest, despite his dismissiveness, he didn't seem like that bad of a guy. Besides, it would be interesting to see what a little raccoon like him would look like packed to the brim with powerful muscle...
"You mind picking up the pace a bit? They want you at the Institute by 4."
Parker tossed his last bag into the car and turned to Rocket. He had already made his decision... and he was DYING to at least try it out. Moving too quickly for the alien raccoon to react, Parker reached out, grasping Rocket by the sides and focusing on his powers.
