*reader discretion advised* A Band of Misfits

The meeting

The room was dimly lit, with only a single lamp casting a warm glow over the small table in the center. Two figures sat on either side of the table, their faces partially obscured by the shadows.

The first figure was a burly man with a shaved head and a thick beard. He went by the name of Hammer, and he was known for his brute strength and his no-nonsense attitude. The second figure was a woman with short blonde hair and a mischievous glint in her eye. She was called Glass, and she was known for her quick wit and her ability to get out of sticky situations.

The two of them had been sitting in the room for nearly an hour, waiting for the third member of their team to arrive. Spider, as he was known, was the only one of them with access to the outside world. He was the one who brought them jobs, who gave them information, and who helped them stay one step ahead of the law.

Finally, the crackle of static filled the air as Spider's voice came through the radio.

"Sorry for the delay," he said, his voice tinny and distorted. "Had to shake off a tail."

"Did you bring us anything good?" Hammer asked, his voice gruff and impatient.

"As a matter of fact, I did," Spider replied. "I've got a job that I think you two will be interested in."

Glass leaned forward, her eyes bright with excitement. "Tell us more," she said.

Spider's voice grew serious. "There's a new player in town," he said. "Someone who's been making waves in the criminal underworld. Word is, he's got a lot of money and a lot of power, and he's not afraid to use either one."

"What's the job?" Hammer asked, his fingers drumming impatiently on the table.

"The job is to take him down," Spider said. "Bring him to his knees, show him that he's not invincible. And there's a lot of money in it for us if we succeed."

Glass's eyes widened at the mention of money. "How do we do it?" she asked.

"That's the tricky part," Spider said. "We don't know much about this guy, other than that he's heavily guarded and has a lot of resources at his disposal. But I've got a lead on where he'll be tonight. A private party at a mansion on the outskirts of town. If we can get in, we might be able to get close enough to take him out."

Hammer nodded. "We're in," he said.

Glass grinned. "Sounds like fun," she said.

Spider chuckled over the radio. "I knew I could count on you two," he said. "Just remember, this guy is dangerous. Don't underestimate him."

"We won't," Hammer said. "We'll be ready."

And with that, the trio set to work, preparing for the job of a lifetime. The Band of Misfits had been born, and they were about to embark on their most dangerous mission yet.

As Hammer and Glass were making their way in the mansion, they suddenly found themselves surrounded by a group of armed guards. The Band of Misfits had been caught.

The guards quickly disarmed them and forced them to kneel in front of the man they had been assigned to take out. The man sneered at them, his eyes cold and calculating.

"You thought you could just waltz in here and take me out, did you?" he said, his voice dripping with contempt. "You're lucky I don't just have you killed on the spot."

But then, to their surprise, the man's expression softened, and he began to chuckle. "Actually, you two might be just what I need," he said, turning to his associates. "I have a job for you."

He explained that he had a rival who was making trouble for him and that he needed someone to take care of it. Hammer and Glass exchanged a quick glance. This wasn't what they had signed up for, but they didn't have much choice.

The man introduced them to two new members of his team: Malk, who had a hippie appearance and a calm demeanor, and Sky, who was known for coming up with plans that never failed.

Malk smiled warmly at Hammer and Glass, his eyes twinkling. "Don't worry, we'll take care of everything," he said.

Sky began to lay out the details of the job, and Hammer and Glass listened intently. They didn't know if they could trust this man, but they knew that they had to try.

As they left the mansion, Hammer turned to Glass. "This is not what I signed up for," he said, his voice tense.

"I know," Glass replied, her eyes steely. "But we have to make the best of it. We're in this now, whether we like it or not."

Hammer nodded, his jaw clenched. They had a job to do, and they were going to do it. But he couldn't shake the feeling that they had just made a deal with the devil.
