61 Issue #7

The next day, Jack was standing outside the front gates of Avengers Tower. He was waiting for his newest members to arrive. Callisto and Wanda were being flown into the airport where a car would pick them both up then Rogue and Kwannon from the institute before bringing them all there. Jack wanted to give them all a chance to bond a little before they would meet with him.

Many of the people that were passing by stopped to get autographs or talk with their local hero. But after seeing him waiting there for over 20 minutes, the pedestrians realized something was going on.

"Jack Frost must be waiting on someone. Who do you think it is?"

"I haven't seen the Human Torch in a while. Those two are super close so he might be waiting on him."

"But Torch can fly. He would be waiting on the roof if that was the case."

"That's true. It might someone important like the president or an important member of SHIELD."

"I think it's the kid of someone important. He is Earth's Mightiest Nanny after all."

Jack was quietly listening to all the comments around him with a smile on his face but when heard the last comment someone made, his eyes twitched.

'I get attacked by Green Goblin one time while watching Valeria! One time and I get the nickname of Earth's Mightiest Nanny!'

Jack was regretting his love for kids when a car pulled up in front of the tower. Recognizing it as the car he sent to pick up the women, Jack began to focus once more.

One by one, the women stepped out of the car and shocked those that were looking around. Two of the four were very famous while all of them could be considered great beauties that easily attracted attention.

"Those costumes... they must be some new Avengers. And all of them are babes."

"Not just babes. Super babes. I love the way superhero uniforms leave very little to the imagination."

"Same. But why do two of them look so familiar?"

"Shit! That one wearing white and yellow used to be a supervillain. I think she was called Rogue. She even fought the Avengers a few times."

"You're kidding!? A former villain is allowed to be on the team?"

"Not just one. The one in red is also a former villain. She's the daughter of Magneto and a member of the Brotherhood of Evil."

"Two of them are villains? Are the other two villains as well?"

"Are they really being recruited? Maybe it's a prison transport."

Jack heard all the people around him but ignored them. He turned his attention to the women. After they grabbed their luggage, he began bringing them in through the rates and gave them their identification cards and info about them.

"Welcome to the Avengers. Here are your Avenger Cards that show that you are official members. The card also grants a Full Security Clearance.

Each card has a flat-screen monitor to send and receive audio and video data. The card can beep like a pager, communicate like a videophone, and record like a mini-recorder; it also has a virtually global range with satellite uplink. As a tracking device, it can be used to locate an Avenger via his or her card's unique signal.

In addition, it can act like a small computer with a numerical access pad. All by itself, this makes it an overpowered calculator, but with appropriate access codes, it can contact Avengers computers, which can then be operated with voice commands. The card also acts as an ignition key for Avengers vehicles and as a key to Avengers bases.

The cards are waterproof and are resistant to pressure. Lastly and most importantly, you get 10% off at Starbucks. (This is canon)"

Once they got inside, the group went from the lobby and into the elevators before they were taken to the 15th floor where Jack stayed. The women would be given rooms on the same floor as well.

"Do we get paid for doing this gig?" Callisto asked while they were traveling in the elevator

"Of course. 100K a year with benefits. There are also bonuses based on performance, ie missions completed, least amount of mindless destruction, not being the most annoying member."

"I didn't know you got paid to be a hero," Wanda commented

"We do. SHIELD figured out it is easier to keep your employees happy and less likely to have their secret identity found out if they don't have to work 2 jobs, one with a very inconsistent schedule, to make ends meet."

The X-Women could understand that. In their former professions, they had money given to them but they basically had to all have second jobs with Kwannon and Rogue being teachers. Wanda was basically a rich second-generation so she was just given money whenever she wanted it. Callisto had no need for money before so didn't have to worry about it.

When they reached their floor, Jack brought them each to their apartments. All of them had identical apartments that they could personalize as much as they wanted without changing the structure of the place.

Jack let them all unpack all their items and told them to meet him in front of his room in an hour. Since they were full-time members, their process was a bit more annoying than part-time Avengers. He had to bring them in front of the other squad leaders that were present.

Just when Jack was about to enter his room, he felt someone throw their arm over his shoulder.

"Hey, Frosty!"

Jacked turned around and saw the familiar red mask. Jack and Deadpool got along very well. Although most people saw Deadpool as purely annoying, Jack could see he was kind and just had a weird way of expressing it. He still couldn't understand the man half the time though.

"Wade. How's it going?"

"Pretty good. Well, I just got scolded by Cap and Wasp for killing 43 HYDRA members on my last mission but besides that, pretty good. How about you Rimuru?"

"Rimuru?" Jack asked in confusion

Deadpool nodded and began to explain

"You know, That Time I got reincarnated as a slime? Or are you more of a Rou from Re:Monster? I also get a Kim Gong-Ja but you seem to have the opposite power of him?"

"I have no fucking idea what you're talking about D-Pool," Jack tried to understand his speech but couldn't

"Oh, don't worry about it. I just read the wiki pages. Anyway, I'll talk to you later Fake-Alabama," Deadpool said as he waved goodbye and ran off somewhere
