In the Land of Darkness at Salem's keep, Emerald is seen sitting on the floor while her partner Mercury is training around the room, throwing mock punches and kicks in the air.
"I hate being kept in the dark like this..." Emerald mutters against her breath.
Mercury hears her, still doing his punch and kick routines. "Yeah, Cinder was a pain, but at least she kept us filled in."
"Can I ask you something?"
"You're gonna."
"Why did you come with us, the night Cinder and I found you?"
"Why are you asking--"
"Just answer the question!"
"Just made sense."
"It... made sense?"
"All my life, my father trained me to be a killer, an assassin like him. And then moments after I killed him, you two showed up looking for someone with my exact skills. Just felt like it was meant to be"
Emerald stared at the gray-haired lad incredulously at his response. "That's it?"
Mercury, getting increasingly annoyed at Emerald's attitude, stops his sparring session and narrows his eyes at her. "Hey, what's your problem?"
"I mean, there has to be something you want from this, right?"
"Salem's promised us everything. We win this thing for her, we'll be top dogs in her new world. What more do you want?"
"I just," Emerald sighs choosing her words thoughtfully, "Cinder was the only family I ever had. She cared about me, taught me things... But without her here, I don't know if what we're doing--"
"Wake up, already..."
Emerald looks at Mercury in shock upon hearing him cut her off.
"Cinder doesn't care about you! She doesn't care about either of us!"
"You don't know what you're talking about!"
"You're in denial," he says so bluntly, "And if you're gonna start having a crisis of identity or some crap... keep me out of it."
An incensed Emerald saw red and angrily jumps forward and starts to attack Mercury with punches and kicks, but he dodges each strike and catches her wrist.
"I'm sorry you didn't have a mommy that loved you, but I had a father who hated me!"
