The Working Life
Disclaimer: I don't own X-Men Evolution.
"Ok everyone." Lance began as the other 4 Brotherhood members sat around in their house.
"We are going to get jobs."
"That's nice." Pietro said, not looking up from the TV.
"And why are we getting jobs?" Tabitha asked Lance.
"Because..."
"Scott." The four all said at once.
"He said we wouldn't survive without stealing." Lance protested.
"Well that's a great reason to do it." Todd mocked.
"Exactly... and the other X-Men got jobs too."
"Daniels got a job!?!" Pietro leaped out of his seat.
"Yeah."
"That's it! Sign me up! Whatever he can do its obvious to everyone I can do it better!"
"Well if everyone is fired up about it I might as well to." Tabitha sighed.
"Whatever." Todd groaned.
"I'm hungry." Fred put in.
The next day Todd stood in a McDonald's uniform beside Tabitha, who also was working there.
"Flipping burgers! Flipping burgers! I'm stuck flipping freaking burgers!" Todd shouted angrily!
"Tolansky, make a big mack!" A worker at the cash shouted.
"Oh I'll make a big mack alright!" He grumbled as he loaded a burger with the necessary junk... and added a little slime for good measure. Todd through it in a package and handed it to the guy who then gave it the customer
"Alright, this is delicious!" The customer shouted with happiness, to which Todd just looked astounded.
"Nice work froggy." Tabitha said giving him a little push. Todd rolled his eyes and gave her a shove in return. She slipped on a bit of grease and fell right into the deep fryer, giving agonized screams. Todd groaned shoved some slime into his ears to drown out the noise.
"You really thing you can clear this lot out for us kid?" A man said as him and Lance faced a rock covered lot with construction machines all around it.
"Give me two hours." Lance responded.
"Fine kid, fine." The man got in his car and drove away. Lance quickly went to work causing earthquakes to shift the rocks. Soon the lot was cleared out, but in the process Lance had also cause several of the machines to tip over and break.
"Hmm, it's a good thing I swiped his wallet." Lance shrugged as he got in his jeep and drove off.
Fred looked around at the houses on the street, he was holding a lot of cash and had a wagon full of boxes. He walked up to a door and rang the doorbell.
"Ugh!" a angry looking man said as he opened the door.
"Hello, would you like to buy some cookies to support the poor?" He asked.
"What poor?" The man angrily demanded.
"ME!" Fred said picked the man off the ground by his shirt.
"H-h-how much?" He asked.
"125 dollars." The man handed Fred the money then looked inside.
"Hey most of these have been eaten!" He shouted, Fred turned to him and growled and the man cowered back in.
Later all the Brotherhood except for Pietro sat around the table, Tabitha in a body cast.
"So how much did we make?" Lance asked.
"Well Tabby and I made quite a bit, but most of it went to repair the deep fryer because Tabby got stuck in it." Todd replied.
"I got hungry on the way home and ate most of it." Fred confessed embarrassed while the others glared at him.
"And I used what I made to bribe a cop." Lance sighed.
"All that work and pain and trips to the hospital and we are still broke?!?" Tabitha cried.
"Where is Pietro yo?"
Pietro was walking home from a photo shoot holding a calendar with him posing on the page for April.
"Finally the world will know my beauty!"
