@Alhazad: 1-My point was: We know the eyes can freeze. We know the flash was strong enough to freeze the freaking Dragon. And anyone with 1/4 of a working brain knows that it's impossible to outrun a flash of light. We all can see clearly that Cinder did not avoid that flash in any way.

Thus, given the only thing we know the eyes can do, at the moment, the reasonable assumption is that Cinder was frozen as well. We have no reason to assume she somehow avoided that flash when she clearly did not, and we have no reason to assume she managed to avoid being frozen "cause Maiden, bitch". The Maidens so far have only shown great elemental powers, nothing more fancy than that that would allow one to avoid such a burst.

(Also the eyes themselves are already bullshit straight out of their asses, so the whole thing is already serious bullshit).

2-If it's temporary in the literal sense, then that also helps explain why Qrow didn't kill her: He couldn't. Why? Because when time is frozen nothing moves. Which means you try to cut a time-frozen bread, you do nothing, cause the particles don't move.

If it's temporary in the limited-time sense, then sure, she may escape, later, but the question then would be how long would it last. She was closer than the Dragon was and got hit by far more light more directly, so it would last quite long.

3-And you really are going to think she would try to keep them as tools when she has no further use for them? They did their job, and now she has no more use for them. Thus, why would she try to keep using them?

She gains nothing from kicking their asses either. If she breaks her tools she ends up with no tools to use, and she knows this.

4-Emerald and Merc are on their own: So what? They likely got no idea what exactly happened up there, and when they find out, what can happen? Emerald tries to get revenge on Ruby and Merc tags along for kicks and jiggles. BOOM, they gain some plot purpose even without Cinder being active.

Also remember there's always the chance Salem has a "2nd Cinder" somewhere. A Plan B if anything happens to Plan A.
