"Sure. See you around", she said, leaving right away, apparently as interested in him as he was in her.
The suite was quite luxurious, both practical and comfortable, while also more than a little flashy. Apparently Fisk spared no expenses for his elite members. The suite was easily large than a medium sized family house in total size.
In the living room, there were a couple of crates with recordings of multiple heroes and villains fighting, likely courtesy of the Kingpin's agents for his personal use.

Taskmaster started by looking up his soon to be teammates and learning their moves.
4 in Int to do so.

Sure enough... Fisk had made sure to include recordings of each of his partners in combat. No doubt a calculated move on his part, but who was he to look a gift horse in the mouth?
Watching all the recordings gave him a strong understanding of their skills and movesets. Which proved to him that most of them were not exactly top level fighters, and mostly relied on superhuman abilities and/or their superpowers to get the job done. There were some exceptions, though: Jigsaw was an highly trained fighter, and Bullseye was an incredibly skilled and experienced killer. OOC: Gained the following copied skills:
Bullseye/Lester C.C: 4 (Agl.bonus or Wpn.modifier) R.C: 8 (Agl.bonus and Wpn.modifier), Efficient
Chameleon/Dmitri Smerdyakov C.C: 2 (Int.bonus or Wpn.mod) R.C: 2 (Wpn.mod)
Elle/Eleanor Zoe Bishop C.C: 1 (Agl.bonus or Wpn.modifier) R.C: 1 (Wpn.modifier)
Fixer/Norbert Ebersol C.C: 1 (Str.bonus or Wpn.modifier) R.C: 3 (Wpn.modifier)
Jigsaw/Billy Russo C.C: 5 (Agl.bonus or Wpn.modifier) R.C: 5 (Wpn.modifier)
Mr. Compress/Sako Atsuhiro C.C: 3 (Agl.bonus or Wpn.modifier) R.C: 2 (Wpn.modifier)
Psykos C.C: 2 (Agl.bonus or Wpn.modifier) R.C: 2 (Wpn.modifier)
Rhino/Aleksei Sytsevich C.C: 2 (Str.bonus or Wpn.modifier) Unstoppable: 7 (Spd.bonus; but lacks the 2x damage and Can't burst through walls)
Scarecrow/Jonathan Crane C.C: 1 (Agl.bonus or Wpn.modifier) R.C: 1 (Wpn.modifier)

Shocker/Hermann Schultz C.C: 3 (Str.bonus or Wpn.modifier) R.C: 3 (Wpn.modifier)

Taskmaster took notes. Crane could use some training in how to actually use that Scythe in a fight and not just as some fancy decoration.
Sanders would also do well with some martial arts training using his superior speed to attack joints and trip up foes. Not to mention with his enhaced reflexes some marksman training would held in a firefight.
Elle, and Fixer meanwhile would need boxing, and martial arts training to keep them from being helpless in a fight, as for the others. Well he could brush them up given time.

And take notes he did.
After a while, his gear and other belongings were delivered to his door as arranged for.

He proceeded to move everything inside his room as needed.

Within half an hour, everything was in and set up how he liked it. Which is about when someone knocked at his door.

He put his mask back on and went to answer it.

Before him stood a stern-looking young woman with silver-blue hair, wearing a black dress with blue gems and yellow decals, long, puffy white sleeves with blue gems, black gloves going down to her wrists, brown thigh-high stockings, black ankle boots, blue dangly earrings, and a white bow on her chest with a blue gem in the center. She also had a beauty mark underneath her left eye. Interestingly enough, she was carrying a whip in her left hand, coiled up for ease of carrying.
"Greetings. I am Franziska Von Karma, Mr. Fisk's secretary. As I'm sure you know, Mr. Fisk is a busy man. You have questions requiring answers, you come to me. You need to speak with Mr. Fisk, you come to me. You have complaints or suggestions, you come to me. I will handle most of everything myself, and if Mr. Fisk needs to be informed personally, I will make sure to pass the information along in a timely manner. Understood?"

"Excellent", she said, folding her arms and nodding.
"...Now. I am here to provide you with what information you need to contact us when necessary, to request the same information from you - both smartphone number and email would be appreciated - and to pass along a request of Mr. Fisk's, namely to discuss your preferred schedule to train our men. Mr. Fisk expects about 60% of a 40 hours week for training purposes from you, and the remaining time would be only required of you provided we need your physical might directly for our operations, though full payment will be provided whether we do call upon your services, or not. Are those terms acceptable to you?"

"Works for me." He said providing numbers to a burner phone, and account he used for more discreet businesses.

Likewise, she provided him with a special number for a restricted line used only by Fisk's elite agents, along with an email address to contact her.
"Perfect. Feel free to inform us at your earliest convenience of your preferred training hours and first day of availability so we can set up schedules with the men. Other than that, I have some time left; would you like to visit our training facilities, see if they are appropriate for you, or if corrections need to be applied?" she suggested.

He nodded and did so before following her.

She took him to one of the elevators, heading down to the third basement under the building, the entire floor of which was entirely made of training facilities. A shooting range with mobile targets of various types and difficulties. A large, very well equipped gym. A 'dojo' type training room with non-lethal versions of many melee weapons, protective gear, and so on. A room with wooden dummies, punching bags, and other training devices and facilities. Quite similar to what he himself had, but larger, bigger, the best which pockets as deep as those of the Kingpin's could buy.
"Anything you see which you would like to see improved, added, modified, or removed?" Franziska added, readying a notepad and an inkpen.
