Cody was silent, hugging himself, wanting to be anywhere else, wanting to be able to do something, to be able to be stronger, and to not simply comply anymore. He didn't think he had the strength or courage to try. Not anymore. He listened to Gerswhin, silently, more then aware that Agent Dioxide was there, listening as well. 

'You are special, Gerswhin. You're bright, and something that bright...just has to be special, and I don't mean power wise, I mean...destined to be great'

If they could get out of there, Cody was sure Gershwin would go far. It would mean having to destroy this place, and any last residue of it, to enable them to be able to live freely. As Cody thought on that, he k new he would have to come to acceptance that he might kill. 

He gave a soft sigh. 

'My parents never treated me differently because I was blind. They encouraged me to try, and to always give everything my best. They told me I shouldn't believe I was limited because of my lack of sight. I've learned you can do anything, if you believe you can, and that you can find strength where you never thought it was. 

You are special, Gershwin. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise'

Agent caits knew how to be patient. She leaned against the wall, contemplating things as she listened to her surroundings. Mostly, she was wondering why they needed to guard the information vault in such a secure building. What were the higher ups afraid of? Just what they were doing, no doubt-the agents breaking in. 

She stared at the vault, wondering. Had others tried to break in before?

She glanced up as Dioxide approached, and nodded. Without a word, she approached the vault, and carefully inputted the code, waiting for something to happen.
