My earlier haste to return to my world may have been misguided, and as I reevaluate the measures of such a return when possible it has come to my attention that I require employment. They keep asking for money for cronuts.

However I am somewhat lacking in skills that one would consider required for gainful employment, as there appears to be no need for mercenary or assassin in this place. I find myself at a loss for where my skills would be useful.

I also do not have a reference.

You have a reference. You also have a spot at my company if you like.

You require a mercenary? Do you wish someone dead?

I have no problem getting my hands dirty and it is within my skill set.

I can't help you in the employment department, but I am glad you're staying.

For the moment, I do not believe it is for the best to return.

I think that I am.

The urgency to locate Gamora is somewhat offset with Tony and Morgan's presence. Even Romanoff. Although she does not know me, we worked closely during the years after my Father completed his task.

It is strange that they are here, isn't it? But nice. It makes me less willing to go home. [...] And Vision may yet arrive.

Yes. If those from our world are being pulled to this one, there is a chance we could stay and wait for those we care for to arrive.

Maybe. Just as Gamora may arrive. Or Mantis or Rocket.

I feel the same. It does not feel like we are pressed to return quickly, like our world or lives are paused for now. So staying... it doesn't hurt anything.

I didn't have any skills either. You can learn new things though.

Learning new things is... foreign to me. I usually just learn new ways to hurt people.

I am good with robots and machines. But I am not sure how that will balance.

Machines seem like they'd be useful to know about. More robots might upset

I'm sure you have other skills that would gain you employment. For instance, have you had to maintain a vehicle? Or build something?

Space ships and myself, that is the extent of it.

Usually I break the space ships.

So you have some engineering/mechanic skills already! I'm sure there are paid apprenticeships you could apply for, where you can refine your skills whilst earning.

(If it seems like I'm pushing the engineering track, it's because that's my field of work. I just started at Stark Industries.)

Is there anything you're particularly interested in doing?

Of course. We have a training program too so you don’t need to feel nervous.

I can stop by on Monday during hours. I do not have any pressing commitments now that Sam has all my data drops.

Engineering. That sounds like something I could do.

My Father made us train in many fields, I was always better with machines than Gamora.

There you go. Engineering is a fantastic line of work, there are so many different avenues with it you can follow. I'm currently in Nanotechnology myself and it's fascinating.

Ah, I was always better with machines and technology than my brother. He was more into sports.

I have to imagine the skills outside of the basics of "killing things and ensuring they stay dead" for mercenaries and assassins are transferable. I'm sure assassinating someone takes a bit of planning, which means you may possess a good mind for planning, goal setting, and ensuring a task is done quickly and efficiently. I also would think you'd have to possess some level of physical skill to be a hired gun so you may be able to lift a decent amount of weight, which seems like a random requirement I've noticed, the ability to lift a minimum weight requirement (I've seen 25 pounds a lot. This seems especially true for any position relating to stocking inventory). Chances are you know how to follow directions but also how to adapt to situations as needed since it seems unlikely most targets would merely sit there and wait for you to do your job. You'd likely also have good observational skills, a good sense of your surroundings at all times, and the ability to pick out behavioral patterns. A modicum of patience seems like it would be, if nothing else, a learned skill that could come from your previous job.

Honestly, if someone hadn't already mentioned engineering, and if I knew your personality more, I'd almost suggest working with the children in some capacity, perhaps with that youth center I've heard about. Ultimately, I think it's about how you spin the skills you learned from your previous job and how you can apply them to what you may want to do know (which seems to be engineering, and that is a good field).

My enhancements allow me near superhuman strength, more so than my species or training. My cybernetic arm can crush through walls and spaceship hulls. My optical implant reads, recognises and transfers data from my surroundings, offering a reading of the environment with pinpoint accuracy.

It is unlikely that I would be a good role model for the children. Regardless of the worlds they come from.

A one woman powerhouse. All of that could surly transfer to something. Add that to engineering, and I can see that being useful in building a number of interesting devices. You could also go in a different direction and pursue something you've wanted to but never have. I saw you mention cronuts previously. You could learn to make them or any other food item if you enjoy food. Even if it just becomes a hobby and nothing more.

I think caring about them would be more than half the battle. But if we're going based on role model potential, I, too, would not be the best.
