Cody’s power reacted in response to the waves of earth, light aiming to crush it in force, even as Cody began to move, light making his steps even more graceful, and sure as he lept into the air, using light to spring his jump so that he moved over the wall of earth waves, towards Thy. He wanted to do this quickly and easily… and maybe bring the boy down without killing him. 

A moment of insight slammed into Cody, and he suddenly understood something. The boy was facing him, having sent his sister away. Cody hated himself for even contemplating this… but he could use the girl. And if he’d sent the girl after Caits and Gershwin… Then the girl would be in trouble, especially if Gershwin had lost control. 

“I’m sorry”

He whispered again. Light burst like lightning all around them, a flash bomb, and Cody used it to get away from the boy, leaping off the ground again in another light fueled jump. There was a way Cody could stop this… he knew it. Even as it made him feel sick, he knew he’d do it. It was the best for them all. He just hope he’d be able to pull it off.
