Trash or Treasure?

[websnextdoor]

Someone's made a bit of a mess in a little out of the way corner of the main drag of the plaza. An entire picnic table has been taken up with electronic bits and bobs that sit in stacks that don't seem to make much sense to a passer by, but definitely seem as though they were organized in some manner by whoever gathered all of this junk. In front of the table a cardboard box is stuffed to the brim with wires and cords of every kind.

HDMI? USB? A weird curly cord with a plug shaped like an octopus? It's all here and then some. It's hard to know if someone's organizing a donation to a local recycling center or setting up the multiverse's strangest tech themed garage sale.

Eventually Peter shows up (don't ask where he showed up from, the kid has a habit of dropping in when you least expect it) dragging a beat up toolbox over to the table so he can start poking around at his findings. He'd thought there'd been one back at the clubhouse and was very pleased it hadn't grown legs and walked off since the last time he'd checked.

Anyone who wanders close enough to inspect or greet him gets met with the same dirt streaked grinning face.

"Hey, can you hand me that screwdriver just over there?"

"Creativity's the most important tool you can have," Rocket assures him with a grin. "You talk to some of them military types, they know how to make somethin' to spec but they're missing one piece, they can't finish. If you know how things work, and what crap you can cobble together to make a big boom, you'll never be unarmed."

That's the most important lesson to take from this, he feels. Whatever else Peter learns from this is a bonus. And Rocket can't wait to see what he does with it down the line.
