Summary (from http://milestone.luthor.com/comics_detail.asp?ID=208&):

Raquel continues to tutor Darnice on being Rocket. Raquel and Darnice are confronted by a street thug, Boomer. Boomer's boss, Pops (druglord), attempts to stop Boomer from Darnice and Raquel. Rocket II dispatches of Boomer and then she loses control and viciously takes down Pops' gang. Raquel barely stops Rocket II from killing Pops.
