You know, there's a funny thing about Heroes for Hires, it actually just started out as one person (Luke Cage of course). But then it grow to a whole organization that has and used to have heroes like Spider-Man, Moon Knight, and even The Punisher. In one universe, the had one familiar hero that would seem to fit in just fine. You know… Logan?

It was just half a week after his fight with Hulk and Wendigo. With no where else to go, Logan found him self on the street of New York looking for a place to stay.

While he was there, one guy made the biggest mistake trying to rob him.

"Give me your money shorty." He demanded trying to be intimating holding a handgun to our hero's head. Obviously, Logan was unfazed, and was about to show him why. Logan's claws popped out and cut the barrel of the gun off almost cutting off the man's fingers with it. The man himself looked at both the mutant and his claws with wide eyes.

"I'll write you a check." Logan told him narrowing his eyes, the mugger took off running.

"Gotta say, I've never seen a man with claws before." A voice spoke infront of the Wolverine, Logan looked to see the heroic duo themselves: Iron Fist and Powerman. "Name's Luke, Luke Cage. This here is Iron Fist." Luke finished offering a handshake to Logan which he took it.

"Logan." He simply put. "You two seem like nice guys, know a place where I can stay?"

"Yeah there's a hotel right around the corner, but you'll still have to pay rent though." Luke explained.

"Yeah well I'm short on money." Logan sighed, then looked over his shoulder. "I probably told him that." He joked clearly referring to the mugger.

Iron Fist then decided to speak up. "Well if you're also looking for a job. Me and Luke could use an extra hand."

"In doing what exactly?"

"Well there's this "business" me and Luke are in called: "Heroes for Hire Inc", we do private investigations and protection services." Danny answered, which it did manage to peak Logan's interest.

"Private eye huh? I can't say that I'm familiar with that kinda stuff. Besides, I wouldn't exactly call myself a hero." Logan explained, Danny and Luke just nod their heads in understanding. "But, it's better than having no job I guess, where do I start?" Just after Logan said that, all three of them heard a woman scream not too far away.

"Right now." Danny said being rather curious about what else Logan was capable of.

A few weeks later after Logan was accepted into the team, he sitting in an office with Misty Knight talking on the phone, Professor X and three of his students came over to offer Logan his membership into the X-Men. Logan said that he'll think about it and told them that for now he wants to "stick with the friends he already made in Heroes for Hire and keep things simple" as he puts it.

"Hey Logan." Misty grabs his attention.

"Yeah?"

"I just got word that there's another mutant here in New York that claws as well looking for you." Misty said plainly. "Maybe I should send Danny and-"

"No I got it." Logan interrupted surprising Misty. Logan then went a closet to change into his more iconic yellow costume

"But Logan, this probably trap, I'm sure you looking for him is exactly what he wants."

Logan then walks out pulling the mask over his face. "Then I'll give it to him. Besides, I can't complain if I can't die right?"

Misty just rolled her eyes in response. "Alright, but be careful. From what I can see, he's really dangerous."

"Yeah? Well so am I." Wolverine finished walking out the door.

The streets were surprisingly empty, Logan just figured someone possibly warned most of the civilians about whoever was after him. Just a guess…

Wolverine refused to keep his guard down for even a second as he kept walking, he then stopped dead in his tracks. Logan sniffed the air as he picked up a familiar scent coming closer and closer to him making his claws pop out.

"It's about time I found you." A voice spoke out. Before Logan could react, he was pounced by Sabretooth who was pinning him on the ground strangling him. "You can't run forever you know, I always find a find away." Creed kept speaking with a sadistic smile on his face. But before Creed could do anything else, he felt a powerful punch to the face knocking him off Wolverine. Creed looked up to see he was hit by Iron Fist whose hands are filled with Chi, and had Luke standing next him as the both glared at Sabretooth.

"You alright Logan?" Luke asked picking Wolverine off the ground back on his feet.

"Yeah, I'm fine."

"You know this guy?" Danny asking referring to a now pissed off Sabretooth.

"It's a long story." Logan says plainly.

"You two stay out of this! This between me and the runt!" Sabretooth yelled, Luke cracked his knuckles in response while Danny got into a fighting stance.

"If you want to hurt him, then you gonna have to get through us." Luke said.

"With pleasure." Creed remarked charging at Luke swiping at his chest with his claws. Only to see it just torn holes in his shirt and not pierced his skin which surprises the clawed super villian. Luke then punched Creed in the stomach giving Iron Fist a chance to deliver a good kick in the face. However, Creed just smirked in response and cut Danny's throat, making him grab it in pain. Logan then (litterally) jumped into the fight stabing both of Sabretooth's shoulders with his claws pinning him to a wall.

"Back off Bub!" Logan shouted, Creed kicked Wolverine away plainly removing all six claws from his shoulders. He looked over his own shoulder to see Luke giving Iron Fist his shirt to help stop the bleeding. "Iron Fist! Go patch yourself up! We got this idiot!"

Danny nods in understanding running off to found some help for his wound. Leaving Luke and Logan alone with Creed. They

both have Sabretooth all they had to the point where he could barely stand up. Logan was about to let him have it until Luke stopped him.

"He's had enough Logan." He told Wolverine grabbing his wrist Logan looked back at Luke and sighed.

"Does it really matter? He heals fast like me." Wolverine said firmly they both looked back to see Sabretooth disapeared from the spot he was in living a trail of blood. "See?"

"So shouldn't we go after him?"

"No, after the beating we gave him, he's going to have to really sleep it off. Something I learned from experience." Logan answered lighting a cigar.

"So what now?"

Logan thought about it for a moment but quickly got an idea. "I say we head back to HQ to see if the kid made it there and if Misty and Colleen was able to help him. Maybe later we can all get a drink." Luke smiles at the first part.

"Not a bad idea, only one problem."

"What's that?"

"Danny is Nineteen." Luke clearified.

"Still old enough to go to a bar." Logan simply replies.

Ever since that night, Logan did join the X-Men, but found himself more at Heroes for Hire Inc, even when members were coming and going. With Logan's help (and a few other helping hands from the X-Men), Heroes for Hire became one of the most successful businesses in the U.S.. Logan himself eventually became the: "Lead Investigator" as people would refer him to, and criminals were getting arrested left and right. And here's my idea if Wolverine joined Heroes for Hire, to be honest, I don't really know much about Heroes for Hire so I went with what I learn about it (which would be the basics). So sorry if this story did not live up to anybody's expectations.

Special thanks to Kairan1979 for the request. The reason why I didn't use Spider-Man is because (like I said) he eventually DID become a member of Heroes for Hire Inc, so I had to go with someone like Logan for the sake of originality. I hope you all enjoyed it either ways, and I'll make sure to keep the "What ifs" coming.

Until Next Time…
