"Not since last week, poor guy is going to be out for at least 6 months. When Nova Knight threw him against the wall his back got messed up real bad."
"At least the insurance plan is taking care of-"
"That's the thing, it's not. Because we were ambushed at 5:30 it's considered beyond working hours. Admin claims it's a personal problem"
"Unbelievable..."
"I know."
" Sometimes I really wonder if it's all worth it. My old college buddies work in tech and they easily clear 6 figures. The company benefits are amazing, one office has a full time barista. Any drink you want, any time imagine that."
"Well at least we got water!" Simon chuckled as he slapped the water cooler. " I guess the grass is always greener."
"No, I'm serious !" Will remarked. " I really wonder if it's worth it sometimes. At my college career fair Dr. Wrath sold me the world. He told me I could make a difference. That I could a part of something that would make the world a worse place. What have we accomplished so far?"
" Well we changed the planets atmosphere to raise global temperature 0.9 degrees Celsius."
"Half the world believes that was due to natural causes or doesn't believe it in the first place!"
"How about the assassination of Captain Justice?"
"Come on, the guy was retired. If it wasn't for us heart disease would've done the job."
"..." Simon agreed but couldn't think of a response.
In the brief silence. A figure appeared strolling down the hallway. Tall and slender it was Dr. Wrath. The fabric of his clothes seemed to absorb the light, casting a shadow over everything around him. His black trench coat obscured his shape rendering him to look like a stick of black licorice, although no one dared to make the joke.
"Back to work boys! The economy is not going to destabilize itself." Dr. Wrath stated as he walked past the men neither breaking stride nor making eye contact.
Simon and Will gave each other a look and parted ways back to their desks. The day was young and so were their careers. The easiest thing for them in the moment was to do as they were told. At least they were not in Larry's position.
