"So. Mr. Um…?" Xavier asked Wade, who was alone with him in his office.
"Deadpool!" Wade chirped.
"Alright, Mr. Deadpool…" the professor stopped a moment. "Why are you here at the institute?"
"I need a job. And somewhere to stay. Nobody will hire me anymore." He pouted. "And they bombed my house. It had my whole collection of Bea Arthur DVD's!" He looked like he was about to cry.
"Well then, what do you think you can bring to the institute?"
"Bullets."
"…"
"And guns."
"Not what I was thinking. What do you think you could do for us here? As a job…" the professor was starting to wonder how wise this decision was.
"I can teach the students how to shoot guns!"
"And…?" Xavier prompted.
"Oh! Oh! I know, I know, pick me! Pick me!" he said, waving his hand in the air. The professor looked at him expectantly. Wade didn't get the message and stood up to wave his hand as high in the air as he could. The professor leaned his elbows on his desk and put his head in his hands.
"Yes, Mr. Deadpool?" he 'called on' Wade.
"I can be security! Like a guard! I'm good with taking intruders down! And guards!"
"I thought you said you would be a guard."
"Yeah!"
"Then why would you need to take down guards?"
"Um. That is classified information."
"Alrighty then." Charles looked up at Wade again, taking his hands away from his face. "How about you lead training sessions with Logan's supervision?"
"Aww! I can do it by myself!" Wade whined, sounding like a five year old wanting to pour his own grape juice.
"That is my final offer."
"Yes! I'll take it! What's my pay?"
"Room and board. And food."
"No… Money?"
"The instructors at the institute are all students of mine that have stayed on. They don't require pay. When they want money, they look for a real job."
"That's… That's kind of a gyp."
"This institute is nonprofit. I use my money to feed the staff and students, and to make the numerous repairs having large numbers of mutant teenagers in a house calls for. This is a safe haven for learning… Not a business, Mr. Deadpool. Mr. Deadpool?"
Wade was nowhere in the office.
"This is going to be interesting."
