Docking Bay, Jump City
Jack, The foreman of the loading dock bay, read his clipboard, flipped the paper to check a few things, before lowering it down to look over at his new worker, "Hey Buu!" He hollered while cupping his mouth.
A teenage sized pink being was in the midst of carrying a stack of three cargo crates across the dock a few yards away, glanced over his way with curious gaze, wearing only baggy blue pants with a white hoodie on to cover his torso, he wore black boots to complete his attire. "When you set those down in aisle nine, I'll need you to clock off! The union will only allow me to have you around for a quarter of the day!" he hollered over.
It was great having the pink kid looking guy work for him, he had other men that needed the income as well, and Buu would be putting his men out of a job.
Buu grunted with a nod, and walked off, before setting the crates down with barely a sweat and slight boom of the crates being set down. Buu looked back at the foreman and spoke, "Need paycheck soon." he said in somewhat good english.
While it wasn't everyday you saw beings like Buu work a shift, as you'd most likely see beings like Buu either steal or just wreck up the place they found themselves in; Buu was definitely the outlier of one of those super powered beings that needed money and a place to stay at like any average joe.
It kinda made it a novelty for Jack to see a being like Buu work; you'd think he'd become a hero besides work…then again, how else did Batman, Superman or anyone else live on earth without a job or something to earn income? Everyone needs money to eat after all.
Jack nodded with a smile, it was Friday, so of course Buu was looking forward to his next paycheck; he pointed at the office in the far off distance, "Betty should have it ready." He hollered back, earning another nod from Buu, before the Majin walked off to clock off.
Majin Buu/Kid Buu
Exiting out of the office with a smile on my face, I pocketed my check I would be able to cash at the bank; waking up on the floor in a lab from the get go of this new life of mine was beyond crazy, and that was topped off after finding out I was in the body of the titular character that could bust planets while still being on them and reform.
If it weren't for the Star Labs that thought it was okay to use unknown technologies, mess with it, and end up with me on the floor, they were beyond lucky they didn't summon the real Kid Buu.
I honestly don't remember much what caused me to be reincarnated or whatever it was that put me in this body, all I know is that I needed some income and a place to stay at. No way was I staying in that lab…I mean, who's gonna stop me besides possibly Superman?...don't answer that! I mean, I know Kid Buu is supposed to be the upper echelon of threats, but come on!
Flash Back
Sirens blared as I busted my way through the lock door the scientists and security were using to 'try' and hold me back with, I slammed the doors open with my pink palms, making the doors slam into the walls, cracking the ceramic concrete or whatever the walls were made of.
"Stop! Stop now!" one of the security guards yelled as he fired a tranq dart that bounced off my back, I stopped walking, and turned my head to look at the man, while stepping back with caution as did his other men.
I frowned, and spoke, "No…place is boring…want outside." I tried to speak with my broken english that for some reason carried over to me from Kid Buu.
While the sirens continued to blare, and I stared back at the security force, one of the scientists cautiously stepped forward to speak, "What are your intentions then, outside…"
"Are you trying to get killed, Catherine?" Jonny, one of the male scientists hissed at his coworker.
I grouched back at the two bickering, "Want food…need fresh air…place is stupid and stale…" I scrunch my nose up in distaste, before walking off once more.
Present
I continued to think back on that day, as I landed back down from flying to land near my bank, the National Bank of Wayne; not sure how the Wayne family also invested in opening banks, but I barely knew anything that deep about the DC universe lore. I wasn't even sure what show I was in yet.
Catherine was the one that helped me get an id, bank and a number of other things with the help of others, I think even the government got involved…
Entering the bank to cash my check, I shrugged to myself. The finer details of how I was able to get a place to stay was beyond me. I'm just glad I could hold down an easy job that my character's strength could play into and benefit from.
As I approached the teller with my hoodie over my head, I looked up at the male bank teller who smiled down at me, "Friday again! Coming to cash and deposit!?" He asked me.
Speaking back to the man with a frank tone, "Yes, half in checking, rest in cash by twenties." I answered.
The banker teller smiled as he spoke. The first time he and the others had me here was quite comical, but the novelty of me coming here every Friday to cash my check had definitely worn off, "Right away!" he chimed.
While the banker took my check and began running it through the system, I yawned as I waited for my money.
Just as the man finally handed me my cash money and bank receipt, from the doors behind me, some average looking mooks barged in with guns and panty hose on their heads to obscure their faces; one of the three men fired his shotgun into the air, and yelled, "Everyone down! This is a robbery, no funny business!"
…okay, this is happening I guess.
