Chapter Text

"Ok ladies and gentlemen I would like to introduce to you my partner in crime Neopolitan, in short Neo" As Roman Torchwick Basically at this point shouted. Next to him is a short woman who can't possibly be taller than 4'10 with mismatched eyes, and pink and brown hair. This is all that Mercury can tell at the moment

"How will she be any of use to me?" Cinder asks coldly

Both Emerald and Mercury notice the annoyed expression on the criminal's face

"She has a name, and she can be more useful than those kids of yours," Roman says as if it was a statement as he points to Emeralds and Mercury's direction

Emerald simply sticks her tongue out while Mercury flips him off

"That still doesn't prove if she'll be of any use at all" Cinder states 

"For starters she is talented fighter, better than those two, she's quick, agile, and thanks to her semblance she cast illusions and change her appearance rather easily" As Roman finishes that sentence said woman changes her appearance into the form of a short silver-eyed girl in what appears to be in a red riding hood outfit

Unimpressed Emerald says" So what I can cast allusions too"

"Yeah but you suck" Roman insults

"Oh yeah? Wait until I-" Emerald starts but quickly stops by the glare of Cinder

"Moving forward I suppose she can be of use in our plans after all" Cinder hums

"OK, then it's settled Neo will be helping you in your plans," Roman says.

"One more thing" Roman quickly says before he leaves the room "She's mute so the only way she can communicate is through sign language, or texting a response on her scroll," Roman says then he leaves the room

A little after the whole meet and greet with the Ice cream flavor-looking girl, everyone goes back to their own devices. At the moment Mercury has nothing to do but go back to his own quarters and ponder today's recent events. To say the least he really doesn't care all that much about the new face. Roman was most likely saying all of that just to get under their skin. Mercury thinks to himself it doesn't matter this whole partnership isn't going to last long, Roman and Neo aren't going to be a permanent thing
