THE MERCURIAL ??

"This is the thing that Duncan took from me..."

Iris takes out the USB which was still in her pocket.

"Is that....?"

Luke asks.

"Yes, this is the very same thing that my dad gave to me but about two to three years ago, a guy claiming to be Logan approached me. At first, I was wary of him but he told me how my father was his personal trainer and that made me trust him because after all my father told me to...."

"And this guy was Duncan...."

Logan interrupted Iris's explanation, who nods and continues,

"He told me about how he was still in contact with dad and they both were working together and had finally planned to leak the USB to the public. I was hesitant but I gave it to him after he promised to let me meet dad.....in the end, he tried stealing the copy of the USB I had made and kept by myself, because after all, I'm not stupid....things were becoming bad because he was planning on hurting my family and friends, so I burnt that copy before he could get to it......" She inhales a sharp breath, "I lied to you about having it because I feared you all would not help me otherwise. I didn't ask for your help because it was my mistake. I lost that very thing that my father entrusted to me, it was my fault so I should be the one to fix this mistake...I don't really deserve to keep it..."

She hands the USB to Lucy who shakes her head and refuses to take it. She pushes it back and says,

"Nick gave it to you, he trusts you and you know what to do with it. And whatever you decide to do with it we will be with you, supporting you."

"Yeah, even if you had told us about not having the USB, we would've still helped you."

Logan adds, she smiles back at him.

"Okay, if anyone has anymore secrets come forth now because trust is really important and it's essential that we don't keep secrets if we were to fight against a huge enemy."

Lucy states, her gaze falling upon Logan.

"I...have something to tell you guys....although this isn't really a secret. I am only saying it because I think you guys have it wrong. I am not part of The Mercurial. I never was. Nick was my personal trainer, after which I joined the army. I came back two years ago and am now a contract worker. That is why I know a lot of people because I have worked with them. I knew Duncan...because he was my best friend...or at least used to be..." He clears his throat and continues, "In the army, we were a squad of five people. Our whole team which consisted of like sixty to sixty-six people, were sent on a mission which was a trap set by the higher-ups. Duncan and I were the only ones who survived...." He gulps, sipping a drink from his glass which contained water, "that's when Duncan lost his eye and vowed to get revenge for all our brothers. I was angry and hurt too but the tactics he was using was wrong. It contained killing innocent people and hurting them, I couldn't do that so I left..which made him angry because he thought I betrayed him...."

"Oh my god..."

"Wait...so you have been in a contract with Lucy all along?"

Luke inquired to which Logan shrugs,

"Kind of....not like a proper contract but more like we had a deal that I have to help her in return for using the weapons and things and even staying at the secret house....so I wouldn't call it a contract...."

"60 soldiers died....is it that incident that happened three years ago...where the head was given a lot of funds to cover the losses...that man became filthy rich afterwards, I hear he is a board member of The Mercurial.....but they said on the news that all the people died? Dont they know about you and Duncan?"
