Dean, Claire, Bianca, and Ruby were still only half-believing Alison, even after she had told them her story. Finally, Alison held up her hand and mentally commanded "Status."
"Alright, so you'll believe me," she said.
Fwomp! A red holographic screen appeared in front of Alison's face. Dean and the others immediately looked at it.

================================================
The faces of Dean, Claire, Bianca, and Ruby instantly turned pale. Dean's eyes were fixed on the total debt, while Claire, Bianca, and Ruby's eyes were fixed on the "Soul partner" line with Dean's name. But the four of them immediately put their masks back on and looked at Alison.
"Okay... we believe you," Dean said. "Welcome to the team, Nata... wait, Alison." He held out his hand and smiled.
"Thanks," Alison said.
Thwack! Alison pulled Dean's arm and hugged him, then smooch, she kissed him right in front of the girls.
"Heeeeeeey!" yelled Claire, Bianca, and Ruby, who immediately rushed forward to try and pull Alison off Dean.
"Ugh... guh... guh," Dean said, patting Alison's arm to get her to stop kissing him and let go of the hug because she was so strong.
Meanwhile, Claire, Bianca, and Ruby were trying with all their might to pull Alison off Dean. Smooch, Alison finally let go of the kiss and put her forehead against Dean's.
"Finally... I got to let out my feelings, hehe," Alison said, smiling and still hugging Dean, not caring that the other three were trying to pull her away.
"Whew... I almost died," Dean said. "Please let me go, your hug is breaking my ribs."
"Oh, my bad," Alison said, letting go.
"Waaaah!" Claire, Bianca, and Ruby, who were pulling on Alison with all their might, were immediately thrown backward when she let go. Alison turned to look at the three of them.
"Hey, are you guys okay?" Alison asked.
"Grrr... I'm not having that," Bianca said, standing up.
She immediately went over to Dean and grabbed his face with both hands, then pulled his face toward hers. Smooch, Bianca also kissed Dean on the lips.
"Hey, my turn! If I'm always shy, I won't get a turn!" Ruby said, pulling Bianca away and immediately jumped up to kiss Dean with a smooch.
After Ruby let go of the kiss, Dean said, "Aaaah... what's wrong with you guys? There's something more important... that!" He pointed to Oliver's soul, which had been floating in the middle of the room all this time.
"Oh, right," said Claire, Bianca, Ruby, and Alison all together.
"Ugh... what's with all the noise? I can't even get any sleep," said Lily inside everyone's heads, as she sat up and rubbed her eyes.
The group, with Lily still rubbing her eyes and holding someone's hand, immediately went over to Oliver's soul, which was still floating in the air. Dean raised his big scythe, and Oliver's soul slowly floated down.
"Ugh," Oliver said as he landed. He opened his eyes and was shocked to see Dean, Claire, Bianca, Alison, Ruby, and Lily's faces all staring at him with their red eyes.
"Wh-who are you guys?" he asked, scared. He looked around. "Where is this?"
"You're in the Nightmare World right now," Dean said, handing him his business card. "Here's my business card."
Rustle, Claire, Bianca, Ruby, and Lily also gave Oliver their business cards all at once.
"Hey... what is this?" Oliver yelled, swatting Dean's hand away. "Where am I? What is this place?" He looked pissed.
Seeing his hand swatted away, Dean smiled and crouched down in front of Oliver. He immediately grabbed Oliver's cheeks and made him look at his face. "So here's the deal," Dean said with a cold smile. "We're revenge agents, getting revenge for the person you killed. Her name was Natalie Garcia. Got it?"
"Wh-what?" Oliver asked, scared and unable to move because Dean was holding his cheeks.
Bong! Dean slammed the handle of his scythe on the ground. Everything went dark, and they reappeared in a torture room with Oliver tied to a chair.
"Huh... what is this? Hey... let me go!" Oliver yelled, angry.
Dean moved forward again, getting his face close to Oliver's and grabbing his cheeks again. "Before we get started, I have a question for you. What's your connection to a guy named Zack Marley?" Dean asked.
"Huh... wh-what are you talking about?" Oliver asked.
"Answer me," Dean asked again, his voice deeper and colder than before, even though he was still smiling. "What's your connection to a guy named Zack Marley?"
"I... I don't know what you mean," Oliver said, terrified.
"Huh... I guess it's useless," Dean said, letting go of Oliver's cheeks and standing up straight. He then turned to Alison. "You wanna do the honors? Did NS explain everything to you?" Dean asked.
"Yeah... NS explained everything," Alison said, cracking her knuckles and smiling wide. "Alright... step back, Dean."
When Oliver saw Alison, who looked like a stitched-up ragdoll, walking up to him and standing in front of him, splash, he immediately peed his pants, and the chair got wet.
"I'm not going to get revenge for what you did to the others, but you burned Natalie to death," Alison said. "I'm going to get my revenge by burning you."
Alison looked at a gas can under the table. She grabbed it and whoosh, she poured gasoline all over Oliver's body from above until he panicked. Clang! Alison threw the empty gas can aside. She then looked for a lighter but couldn't find one, so she turned to look at Dean, Claire, Bianca, Ruby, and Lily.
"Do you guys have fire?" Alison asked.
"Uh... here," Ruby replied, stepping forward. using her "pyro" skill.
Ruby opened her palm, and poof, a tongue of purple fire appeared, dancing in her hand. Alison took Ruby's hand and pointed it at Oliver.
"N-no... don't... p-please... no!" Oliver said, watching the purple fire get closer.
Whoosh! "Aaaaaaaaah!" Oliver thrashed in the chair as his entire body was burned by the purple fire until he turned to ash. Then Oliver's body regenerated, and Alison lit the fire again. "Aaaaaaaaah!" Oliver screamed and thrashed again, while Alison and Ruby smiled as they watched him.
Meanwhile, in the background, "Dean, who's that guy named Zack Marley?" Claire asked.
"He's one of the three guys who came to the cafe earlier," Dean replied.
"Oh... so his name is Zack Marley," Bianca said.
"That's right. Let's just say he and I have a history," Dean said.
"He's my dad," Lily said suddenly inside everyone's heads.
Dean, Claire, and Bianca immediately turned to look at Lily. Even Ruby and Alison, who were torturing Oliver, turned their heads.
"Wh-what did you just say, Lily?" Dean asked.
"He's my dad... but I hate him... he left me, my mom, and Heather.., he mean to me, to mom and to Heather... I hate him," Lily replied.
The whole place went silent. The only thing you could hear was the fire burning Oliver's body as he still screamed and thrashed without making a sound. Dean immediately stood in front of Lily and put his hands on her shoulders.
"I'm sorry, I was talking out of line," Dean said.
"You don't need to apologize," Lily said, sounding casual and smiling. "Like I said, I hate him and want to kill him."
"Okay, I get it," Dean replied, smiling and holding Lily's head.
"As far as I'm concerned, you guys are my family now," Lily said.
Dean, Claire, Bianca, Ruby, and Alison all immediately went over to Lily and hugged her as a group, leaving Oliver to burn all by himself.
