"Thank you all for your hard work, young flowers, and from you two who guided them" Lady Garden said, looking over to Leon and Felica. She then turns to the group of young adults and keeping her cheeky smile, which certainly warmed his heart, the form she took wasn't quite, but was for sure akin to his grandmother, which made Andre wonder what she looked like for the others around him. Through the eyes of the others a radically different person sat across from them for Cody an older woman perhaps in her early 40's she had very long white hair that hung all they way down to the lower back with soft brown eyes, to Cody the woman wore a long hospital gown reaching down to the ankles with a pair of slippers on, when she speaks Cody hears the voice of a soft and kind yet very tired person. The lady of the garden continues to say, "I'm simply here asking that you continue to return the Lost Ones; to be reborn  is much preferred over the complete eradication of one." "Is that out of some sentimental value, I'm guessing?" Gabriel asked. The Lady of the Garden looked over to Gabriel to him a young woman appearing to be just barely 30, she sported a beige sundress, her hair with brown curly bob that reached the back of her neck, her vibrant orange eyes meeting Gabriel's, "That's correct, it brings me great relief to know that the ones who have themselves may have another chance" she says with a soft smile. "Well, I can't imagine that's the only reason you're here; I'm sure you'd realize by now that we would have kept exorcising as we've always been in all honesty," Jaida said with an unintentional coldness to the lady of the garden. Before Jaida's eyes stood a dark skinned black woman appearing to be in her early 40s dressed in a long, black mermaid dress. She wore curly hair with curtain bangs with accent braids which framed her stunningly beautiful yellow eyes, which were shadowed over by a heavy eye shadow and eye liner, her black, polished, and sharpened. She responded to Jaida's words, "Well, I see that's lovely to hear, but you are correct, I am here for another." Her own voice sounded just as ice-cold and lifeless as Jaida's. Jaida didn't seem to mind the cold tone being turned back on her; in fact, it was as refreshing as it had always been for her. Brandi speaks up to The Lady of the garden, "So if I had to guess, you're here for him, right?"  she says, pointing at the tied up and Alexander. Everyone, except Nia, Leon, and Felica, looks in surprise in response to the question. Before Brandi, a withered lady in her 80s, her gray hair tied into a tight topknot, wearing a yellow and grey schoolhouse dress, her withered voice strained but also held a great deal of authority behind it. The Lady of the Garden stood and approached the knocked out former adversary to which Nia asks "what are you, planning to do to him" she asks staring down the woman who appeared to be in her mid thirties her purple hair tied into a professional looking ponytail, she sported a standard blue business suit not too dissimilar to the wear of Felicia or Leon. However, it certainly lacked their favorite flair. She spoke with a stern but calm tone, "Rest assured, he'll be alright. I won't harm him, I must correct a mistake." Leon and Felica gave their respective teams a nod, letting them know that everything is alright. Without a word, they followed accordingly. Upon the Lady of the garden reaching Alexander, she reached her hand into the chest of the young man, causing Alexander's eyes to shoot open. He tried to speak. Still, no words come out; all he can do is stare at the shapely woman in a low-cut dress that really gets across her assets. Her face was that of stoic beauty due to the heavy makeup. She blankly stares at the young man before her as she twists her hand within his chest. Everyone, aside from Leon and Felica, was worried about whatever process was happening right now, to which Leon states calmly, "Don't worry, no harm will come to him, and it's just about over now." The crew takes his word for it and relaxes as The Lady of the Garden takes her hand from the young man's chest, and as she does, a black bubble begins to take him before he and it disappear. The Lady of the garden looks back at Leon and Felica, "I apologize for scaring your students, no harm has come to the one I have sent back to the physical world."  To Leon he sees a woman his age around her mid thirties she wore a casual red blazer with a white undershirt with a pair of blue jeans, her brown eyes were focused and accentuated by her square glasses, her hair was a pixie that was swath to the left, her nails were filed but unpainted, her voice was very subdued to Leon's ears as she continued to speak. As for Felicia, she saw before her a slender young woman, her jet black hair flowed all the way down to her lower back, it had an illustrious sheen, she shared the same complexion as Felicia, although she differed from her in some respects; she sported emerald green eyes as opposed to Felicia's brown ones. Her voice was powerful and snooty, demonstrating a fair bit of arrogance within each of her words. "That one did not possess the right qualities to remain within the garden, so I sent him away before he caused any more damage. I simply returned the flower to its previous shape". The young spirit hunters seemed perplexed by the Lady of the Gardens' explanation of the fate of Alexander. Leon chimes in to help the dumbfounded young adults, "The shape of our souls is what allows to exist here in the Spirit Side, it's also the means for our abilities, while The Lady of the Garden doesn't choose who gets those abilities she is capable of affecting the soul to take them away by reverting said soul into that of a normal human, thus forcibly sending him back to the physical world he will more than likely not remember his time within in this world." Gabirel retorts "If i had known you were going to send him back i would have roughed him up a little bit more" he says clearly a bit peeved by the fact he didn't get to hit him again. "You know im inclined to agree" Nia says shaking her head in approval of the idea. The Lady of the Garden speaks up once again "One more thing, in regard to that one" she says pointing to the knocked out Nico, "This one is still as of now just a seedling that hasn't fully blossomed, so please do watch over their growth as well as your own." Before anyone could respond to The lady of garden they had disappeared without a word. Leon and Felicia look to each other before looking back to the full group of young adults. "Well that was certainly something; But anyways Leon and I will figure out means for a team for Nico in time, as for now, there currently isn't much work to do so go enjoy some free time for right now." She said with a wide smile. The group nods and begins to disperse upon having free time as they exited the building  Andre speaks up first whilst outside  "Well, I'd love to hang with you guys outside of work too." Dzzy,Jaida and Cody's eyes all light up at the idea of this and they rush up to him going for his phone to put him into the group chat. "Woah that was quick, and Cody you already had my number and we see each other every day" Andre says with a small laugh whilst exchanging info, Andre looked over to Nia "So, uhh Nia will you be joining us today there's still plenty of the day left?" Nia frowned a bit "I would but, i should get back to day time work since i have extra time and all but may-". Before Nia could finish her thought she was taken arm and arm by one Cody and Dzzy forcing her in place, "Oh no you dont" a pouty Dzzy says "You've been leaving us hanging for weeks you need a break from work and we won't take no for answer." Before Gabriel could take off without a word he's stopped in place by Brandi and Jaida also holding him in place "The same goes for you Gabey" Brandi says not letting another opportunity like this to pass forcing one Gabirel Rodriquez to spend time with them.  As Gabriel and Nia are forced into the van, Andre takes the driver seat and starts up the van. A irate Gabriel asks "Do you guys even have anywhere you want to go?!" but almost as if a direct answer to his question the loud sound of Cody's stomach growls  loudly and with a shake of his head Andre pulls out of the parking lot "Well to Pops Shop it is."
