It was Bruce sing "Dancing in the Dark" Mercy started to sing along.

....You can't start a fire, You can't start a fire without a spark, this gun's for hire, even if we're just dancing in the dark."

Mercy leaned against the couch. She was still a sore from the beating she took from Celly. "The only good thing about the beating was I got to her a black eye and messed her fuku up." she thought to herself.

Mercy took some advil and began to fall asleep. Suddenly Mercy woke with a start.

"Nanii!!! There has been a distrubance in the Force!!! What could it have been?" Mercy turns to ask Orion something and notices he's not there.

"Orion, Orion, where are you?" Mercy called.

"Has anyone seen my guardian?" No answers.

Mercy sat back down on the couch and began trying to recall when she last saw him. Then she remembered: Venice Beach...he had landed on top of someone but she had lost track of him after that.

"Oh Orion, where the hell are you when I need you" Mercy exclaimed.

Meanwhile.....

Orion and Seth were in Seth's room. They were looking at porn magazines and getting drunk.

Orion seemed to have forgetten his duty when all of a sudden something in his mind snapped.

"Oh my god, what the hell was that?" he exclaimed Still lying on the floor, Orion began to wonder what had become of Mercy. He lost her after the left Venice Beach. Then remembered that Mercy told Nyx the she was joining them. How stupid could she be? What she smoking something? Couldn't she see that was the wrong team to be one?

Orion tried to stand up but felt really woozy. He thought he saw pink elephants flying around his head. "Oh man, I'm plastered." The Council is going to have my hide. I've got to get out of here and find Mercy.

He opened a space portal and hopped though it. Seth was passed out on the bed and didn't notice that Orion left.

The space portal opened and Orion came tumbling out at Mercy's feet
