Reed was quiet for a few extra moments. Even for her, this was a lot to handle. There was a lot at stake, and her agency was putting a lot of faith in her to not screw it up. As Trano said, he was the best option at stopping the Ascendancy from taking over the world.
"Alright," she began, hoping that the decision came of her own free will. How had Trano gotten out of that room? Suspicion rankled, and she had a feeling she knew the answer now.
Trano was sitting closeby, but the guy was so tall that he still managed to tower over her. It rankled, but she didn't make a move about cowering away.
"I've seen him do similar shit, Trano," she gestured at the arm he'd magically captured, holding back a shiver. "CSS all know, and a few higher ups in CDPS. Hell, even some of his aids know, and..." she gestured with contained disbelief, "...probably every woman he's ever slept with," she nodded poignantly. Reed wasn't confessing to belong in such a prestigious club, but there were things people living in the shadow of power just knew went on.
"So of course I told my handlers at the CIA." She looked briefly overwhelmed. It had been an incredibly long and tortoruous briefing everything she knew about the CCD to the Americans. They were quite thorough. "What they did with the information, I don't really know. Only I hope it went all the way to Eagle. Understandably, I don't have limitless clearance, but there's nothing I can tell you to help you," she waved her hands around as though they were magic wands, "except, get better at it."
Nothing at all. "Besides practicing. Push yourself hard. Like you are trying to kill yourself. But you know... don't."
