Cody knew he shouldn't have been out there, shouldn't have approached the woman. He shook his head and sighed at her question, shifting, he was ready to act at a moments notice. The sound of creaking, of wood moving, caused him to react in the blink of an eye, flashing a shield of light around himself, he wasn't foolish enough to leave the hatch vulnerable, as he flew light over that as well, protecting it from the woman. He threw light towards where the woman had been, his gaze roaming over the land, watching her light fade. 

He gave a soft, weary sigh, wondering how long the woman would be gone for, and how long he'd have to be on guard. Heading back down the hatch, Cody reinforced the room with light, laying walls of light along the walls, the roof, so that if the woman did what she had just done-and wasn't that interesting, an agent with powers? He'd have to ask Caits about that. 

Perhaps she had only just developed them, and that caused a whole lot of other questions to pop up. Could powers just spontaneously develop? How did that happen? Cody couldn't remember a time when he didn't have powers. And yet, it seemed that Gerswhins had only developed so strongly under the strain of their captivitiy. Frowning over that, Cody sat down by the women, watching the door, and trying to figure out such questions.
