fandomhigh | For Hire, 4th Period

It had crossed Samus’s mind to wear the Zero Suit, but the Power Suit just felt more professional and it would have been a little too matchy-matchy with Deadpool’s cute little get-up.

“Welcome to For Hire,” she said. “We assume you’re here because you’re interested in mercenary work. If you’re here for other kind of work for hire, well...stick around. You could have some interesting things to add to the conversation.”

It could be fun!

"What the lady said, folks! It's a holiday for some of you who are American, but neither of us are so you can suck it." That was polite, Deadpool. Super polite. "Since both of us are professionals who can get a job any time we like, so don't you listen to a word the mayor says because he's a lying liar who lies with that glowy eye of his... what was I talking about?"

Few people know.

"Anyway, we wanna see what you kids bring to the table. Introduce yourselves like you're trying to get a job. Name--real or one you wanna use as a codename--and what you bring to the table. Think of this as a verbal resume."

Patriotically.

Oh, Captain America! Oh!

You know you wanna...

Who are around. And lookin' fine in skintight costumes.

My brain hurts from the heat. IT'S TOO EARLY.

Billy Kaplan

"Um, I'm Billy Kaplan, but I also go by Wiccan sometimes. I, uh--" So, so hadn't signed up for the mercenary class, of all things, but he wasn't sure if saying that would make things worse. "I can cast spells. So, I can bring a lot of different things to the table, I guess?"

"What kind of spells?" asked Samus, whose gun arm might have been subtly positioned in a way to suggest what she thought of spells compared to cold hard tech. "And would you say Wiccan is your code name?"

Well, technically, the Power Suit was skin-tight...underneath all the layers of tech anyway. She was partially wondering what she was doing here, teaching a class, and then she remembered that whole check thing, and wasn't that what the whole class was about? And this job so far didn't seem to want to end with her dead somewhere...So it was a win.

"Yeah, it's my code name," Billy said with a nod. "My spells are sort of...like mantras? If I want something to happen, I kind of chant? And it happens like, 99% of the time. It doesn't always work here, 'cause the island's funky like that."

Bucky Katt

Bucky stood on his desk to make himself taller. "My name is Bucky Katt," he said. "My résumé will cost you five dollars."

Perhaps Billy might want to reconsider that word choice.

"I'll take a smoked haddock," Bucky told him. "When you're bringing things to the table."

"Oh, um. That's just a figure of speech," Billy said awkwardly. "I'm not actually bringing things...I mean, not really, just like, ideas and...um, yeah."

"Kate. I'm good at poking new holes in things that try to hurt me." With her sword not, like, a fork or something.

Self-promotion was not exactly her forte.

"And what happens if you cannot speak?" prompted Samus. "Word of advice. When you're trying to sell yourself to someone, never talk about the 1 percent chance that you screw it up. Because you just guaranteed that I don't hire you."

Samus shrugged. "Enjoy keeping your résumé, then; I'll just go somewhere else."

"Well and good if something's trying to hurt you, Kate," Samus mused, "but what if they're trying to hurt me?"

Well, if they were trying to hurt her, she'd blast them to oblivion, but this was an exercise, people.

"If that's what I'm getting paid for, sure."

She was at least partly joking, but also figured that 'doing what you're the dough for' was a decent trait for a mercenary.

"A good theory on principal," Samus said, "and one I agree with. But do you really want the person who will potentially pay you really knowing you're dong it just for the money?"
