Cody looked about the small room. There were no windows. The obly light seemed to come from the small lamp on what seemed to be a roughly made night stand. The single bed held Gerswhin, the couch made up was the former Agent Caits bed. Cody himself slept on the ground. Cody had figured enough to know that this was a secret room within a building. The darkened room was slowing Cody's own regeneration, and his exhaustion had, for the first day or so, been almost comatose as his body desperately tried to repair its damage, and give him the energy he required for even basic activities back. 

Caits was currently out. The medical...Cody wanted to say expert, but he wasn't so sure about that, was evidently demanding when it came to his patients satisfactions. Caits was probably the most vulnerable of them all, couldn't repair herself at will like them. Her arm had been nasty, and her side, Cody knew, was black and blue from shoulder to hip. He of course hadn't seen that, but he knew from Caits examinations that this was so. Her arm seemed to give her the most trouble however. Reset, stitched and casted, the weight of the cast seemed to bring about soreness from the dislocation. She never lay down, the pain in her chest making it hard to do so, and at times Cody heard her panting in pain. 

Cody knew they were just biding their time here, while Caits held, until Gerswhin woke, if she ever did. He sighed to himself, and began to sing softly under his breath, the lamps light growing brighter as he did so.

For the latest Press conference, Maria Gerda Jordan stood confidently. Her notes were in front of her on the stand provided, She looked over the crowd, beginning to give her pre-written speech. Over and over and over again she said the same thing, at all these conferences. Even before she was halfway through the speech, there were questions. 

"Just what was the dragon like creature witnessed in the sky?"

Maria let out a slow breath, trying to maintain her patience. "I have already said, that was the result of an experiment gone wrong. We have since contained this, and shut the experiment down. Yes, it was dangerous. Yes, we should have been more aware, but [i]this was not our fault[/i]. The three beings found escaping the crash scene are our prime suspects for the release of this dangerous experiment"

"If it was so dangerous why did you conduct this experiment?"

She did not falter. "Sometimes in this world, you need dangerous to survive. Perhaps this experiment may have been what would save the world, if there was another world war. We wanted to be prepared" 

"So you kept this highly dangerous experiment a secret?"

What more did these people want? They had stopped the anomaly known as Gerswhin from explodingin the streets if she got hit by a bus, and yet all they seemed to focus on was escape. "Yes. Because believe it or not, there are some things you do not need to know. We deemed it necessary to protect the public from this knowledge"

This went on and on, until Maria drew the conference to a close, by simply walking off.
