The four man group makes their way across the city, making their way to the office building that Leon told them about. They stop at a large office building similar in shape to the team's headquarters. "I'd be lying if I said I'm not a little nervous," Dzzy says whilst Nia begins to park the car. "You not good with new people?" Andre asks as the group gets out of the car. "Yeah, I ran into trouble getting to know people...But never mind that, let's head on inside," Dzzy says quickly by changing the subject. Upon everyone entering the office building, they are meet with Leon currently in an arm wrestling match with a dark skinned woman with curly hair whose hair looks similar to that of a mane, her eyes colored and shaped like a lion; she wore an all black business suit with a black overcoat that did little to hide her quite muscular frame. Leon looks over to his group just as he loses the arm wrestling match, and a loud thud echoes through the building as the table cracks completely in two. "Ow....but besides that, glad you guys could make it," Leon says, holding his arm in pain. The burly woman speaks up "Yes, I appreciate you coming out." My team is finishing up a mission of theirs as we speak. But in the meantime, it's a pleasure to meet you all. I'm Felicia Johnson, supervisor/leader of Team Lion." The group is both stunned by the property damage from the arm wrestling match, but they quickly snap out of it,and introduce themselves. "It's nice to meet you too, miss; I'm Andre Middleton." "It's a pleasure to meet you; I'm Nia Williams."Nice to meet ya. I'm Cody White." "I'm Dzzy James. It's very nice to meet you, ma'am." "It might be a little bit forward to ask, but when you mentioned your team, they had a name along with it," Nia asks curiously. Felicia looks surprised as her eyes widen a bit before she turns to Leon. "You haven't filed for their team name yet?" Leon quickly defends himself "Woah, Woah, It's not like that at all, teams aren't officially recognized until you have one supervisor and 4 Hunters." "How long did it take you to get a full team exactly?" Felicia asked, "Well, we got our 4th member, Andre, here like a couple of days ago in fact, I just finished the paperwork for our official registration yesterday. Now, with that out of the way, Leon coughs and joyously walks over to directly face his dear team. "We are officially in, according to the Spirit Hunters Organization, Team Sloth." The group's faces look less than enthusiastic. Dzzy awkwardly smiles. "Well, it certainly sounds cute, I suppose." Cody seems to be in deep thought. "Well, perhaps depending on positioning, we could actually make it at least somewhat more appealing." Dzzy pats Cody on his back gently. "Please don't give yourself such an impossible task; stressing yourself isn't good for your health." Andre bluntly speaks to his boss, "Any possibility of a name change?" Nia sighs "I have to agree; besides, simply naming your team after your own Side Spirit is a little tacky if I'm being 100% honest." Leon sighs whilst taking out a cigarette. "You guys do know you could just lie to me rather than brutal honesty, right?" But in any case, I technically didn't pick the name protocol calls for the supervisor's Side Spirit as the naming convention." Felicia lets out a very hearty laugh. "Well, it'll be alright. It's just up to you guys to make Team Sloth actually mean something," she says as she rises from her seat, allowing for the full scope of her 7 feet on full display. "Well, we can't argue with that, I suppose," Andre says respectfully. Cody speaks, "That aside, for right now, I'm kinda curious, Mr.Davis, why were you arm wrestling Felicia here? It's kinda obvious who would win, don't you think?" Leon responds in kind, "Well- that my dear pupil was. "... before he could speak another word, the front door swung. "Hey, Boss, we're back," said a Caucasian blonde woman with a streak of pink dyed in her hair. She wore a white leather jacket zipped up, matched with torn blue jeans and black and yellow shoes. Right behind her was a tall black woman dressed in a black, yellow, and black lolita-style dress,her hair was in a big, beautiful Afro, and her yellow eyes seemed to scan all the new people in the building. The seemingly last person to enter was a young Latino man; he wore a red and white golf jacket and black pants, with red shoes with black laces, and his eyes were a fiery reddish orange. "Who the hell are these people!?" asked the orange-eyed young man. Felicia stands up and answers, "Geez, would you calm the hell down, Gabriel!" Felicia stands up and motions to her guests. "This is my team. We are Team Lion, the blondie over here in the ripped-up jeans. Brandi Jones is the brains on the team, though, for someone so smart, I wish she weren't as stubborn as an Ox." Brandi's cool demeanor drops a bit as she gets irritated by the comment. "Was that last part necessary for my introduction?!" Felicia continues, ignoring the question she was asked. "The young lady in the pretty dress is Jaida; she's the team medic, though she can fend for herself just as well as anyone; though she's a complete ditz and morbid humor is pretty hard to get used to." A small smile appears on Jaida's face as she responds "I'm so happy you like the dress." Gabriel shouts at the response "That was your takeaway from what she said!" "And the loud mouth gremlin over there is Gabriel Martinez, he's a hot head of the highest order...oh yeah he's pretty strong too. " Gabriel looks over with an angry glare to his supervisor whilst his left eye twitches "You trying to start something, boss?" Ignoring the question asked by her subordinate once again she speaks again "We do have a fourth member, but they are over in France on special work." After everyone is acquainted they look and seated at the round table Leon got straight to business "So Team Sloth the reason you've been brought out here, is that Team Lion would like our assistance in one of their exorcism and I believe we may be able to help" After he does so a loud roar could be heard underneath everyone's feet. Brandi says afterwards "As you can see we currently have a Lost One restrained beneath us, we found the source of their pain but, its request is rather peculiar." "That being what exactly?" Nia asked inquisitively. Gaberiel answers the question "It was to search for and identify who killed him, the thing is the hint the Lost One could still remember is that his killer had the same power as us" All of Team Sloth eyes widen in shock... before realxing afterwards causing Leon to laugh and say "It would seem the Lady of the Garden has made a bit of an error" as he lights a cigarette.
