Fitz's pulled Y/n close and leaned towards her ear.

"Y/n, we need you. I know I sound like a damn pussy but we're desperate. I'll explain more later as to why." He whispered softly into her ear and then let go of her hand. Y/n looked up at him and nodded slowly. She looked around at the rest of the gang members who were surrounding the two of them.

"Would you mind introducing them to me?" Y/n asked curious to know about some of them. Fitz nodded and pointed to Zuckles.

"Well, you've already met our buddy Zuckles here. Or you can call him Mason. He's a bit slow, but he's agressive at negotiations." He said before turning to a man wearing a balaclava and chainmail over his face.

"That's Swagger, or Eric. He's the newest member but he's been around for a long time. He's good at beating the shit out of people." Fitz said as Swagger waved at Y/n, earning a wave back.

"This is Toby," He said, slinging his arm over a fabulously dressed man. "This is our little diva and he's also one of our spies." Toby nodded and smirked. Y/n was a tad bit jealous at how good he looked in the heels he was currently wearing.

"iNutt, short for iNotorious, is our medic. He's a little bit crazy but when he's on his meds he's completely fine. If you ever get seriously injured, he's the guy to go to. You can also call him Matt if you'd like." Fitz said to Y/n and she nodded, trying to remember everyone's names so far.

"McCreamy, isn't here right now. He actually works at the bar. He's our treasurer but he can't count very well. He manages all the money and pays everyone for their jobs. His name is Jay. If you see him around, say hey to him. And that's basically everyone." He told her.

Y/n took a moment to process everyone's names and faces together and looked around.

"It's nice to meet you all." Y/n spoke softly. She was slightly intimidated by the members but she was even more so intimidated by the extremely tall gang leader standing next to her.

"You got a place to stay? Or would you like to spend your night in the Misfits manor?" Fitz asked her, slightly sending shiver down her spine. She shrugged in response.

"I don't have a home. I hop from place to place really. I'm usually with a guy or girl by this hour stealing their money or their virginity." Y/n said blatantly and made some of them turn their heads to look at her in shock.

"What? I'm being honest here." She laughed nervously. Fitz laughed it off and gently grabbed Y/n's arm.

"Here, I'll show you to your room. Everyone else you're free to go do whatever just be safe and don't die." He said and some of them left, others went to other parts of the house.

Fitz led Y/n down a hallway and opened a door to a room. It was minimalistically designed. It had a bed, a dresser, and a desk. But it felt very unpersonalized because no one had been living in it.

She walked inside and looked around, Fitz following inside behind her.

"I've never had an actual bed to myself before, I've always had to share with someone." She mentioned and he nodded.

"Well if you join us this room will be all yours.... and that's something I want to talk to you about." He said and closed the door to the bedroom, leaving the two of them in there alone.

"We really need you, Artemis. You're smart and witty and you know how to make good money but you also know how to spend it properly. We're all extremely stupid here. Some of us cant even count to fourty. But we don't just need you because your good with money. We know that you're strong enough and you're a good spy and a fighter. We need that talent and energy here." He pleaded to her in a very vulnerable tone.

"Is the Mr. Fitz begging me to join the Misfits?" She asked in a seducing tone, teasing him. Fitz gulped and nodded.

"Yes, please Artemis. I'll even pay you. We're that desperate. During the gambling tomorrow, please let whoever goes last, win. Please. We know we can't beat you, but we really need you." He said, actually sinking to his knees and placing his hands on her legs.

Artemis smirked and nodded. "If I let one of you lose, what's the point in even gambling? Why not just join now?" She asked and he looked up at her with pleading eyes.

"It's all up to you." He told her and she shrugged.

"Just initiate me tomorrow I don't want to waste my time. You guys can challenge me to strip poker another day." She said and Fitz stood up, smiling.

"Thank god! Just make sure you're well rested for tomorrow morning. The initiation may be painful to you depending on your tolerance." He said and kissed her cheek, obviously estatic about how easy that was.

Her face got red and she nodded. "I'm gonna go get ready for bed. I'll see you in the morning." She told him and he nodded, saying his goodnight and leaving her to be alone in the room by herself.

The bedroom also had a bathroom, so she went in there and stripped out of her clothes and turned the shower on. The warm water soaking into her hair and skin, washing away any stress she may have had.

She felt like she finally belonged somewhere.

After Y/n's shower she dried off and crawled into bed in just a tshirt and some shorts that were left in the dresser.

It was going to be a wild ride for her.
