The Job Search
City Unemployment Office
Later that morning, Wolverine went into the city to the nearest unemployment office. After filling out some paperwork, he met with an agent.
"Sooo…Mister…Logan…it says here you're a mutant who works with a team of heroes that enforce justice and protect the world…sounds exciting…" the bored-looking, monotone voiced agent says while rolling his eyes.
Wolverine, who sat in the chair in front of his agent, puffs on his cigar and blew it toward at the agent. "You better believe it, bub. Got anything action packed like that on your pathetic job list?" Wolverine asks.
"Well…we do have a handful of jobs available at the moment…there's one that involves selling cars at the local dealership…" the agent states.
"Sounds easy…who owns the dealership?" Wolverine asks.
"Uh…I believe it's owned by a man that goes by the name of Deadpool…" the agent responds.
Wolverine shot out of his chair, almost choking on his cigar when he mentions the name Deadpool. "I am NOT going to work with that loony bastard…no way in hell! That Deadpool annoys me…" Wolverine says to the agent, making it clear he'd rather not take that particular job.
"Very well then…but just remember, that if for some reason you fail any of the other jobs I have available, you may have to end up taking that job as a last resort," the agent reminds him.
"Hmph…not a problem. No way I'm going to mess up in any of these girly jobs you may have for me," Wolverine states.
"Well…moving on then…I have three alternate jobs available. The first is the local library. They are looking for volunteers. The second option is a fast food position at the downtown Burger Shack, where you'll be flipping burgers. The third option is an assembly-line position at the local beer factory. And, of course, there is the job at the dealership if all the others go awry. Every job's pay is minimal, and so is the work. It should be no problem for a person of your stature…" the agent says dryly.
"Heh, a library, a burger joint, and a beer factory. Sounds easy as hell. I'll rack up cash in no time for Chuck," Wolverine states. "I'll check them all out right now," he adds, getting up from his chair.
"Very well sir…just be sure to return here if you are to somehow be fired from these three jobs…" the agent says.
"Like I said, bub, not gonna happen…later, loser," Wolverine says as he exits the office.
He would be on his way to apply at each of the jobs that was recommended for him.
