I guess. I got more of an impression that Cinder was showing off her power in order to ensure loyalty. I figured it was her tactic. It fits with her whole "I want to be powerful. I want to be feared." Torchwick had to have a reason to be afraid of her catching him threatening Mercury.

So, I guess that's a yes to Spirit's suggestion that Roman would hide from Cinder instead of returning only to get killed.
