"Yeah, people are a little nicer on the West Coast, although we don't really greet each other either." Turning back to Cody, Emmet frowns, doing his best to answer his question. "It's difficult to say, and more difficult to adequately measure compared to a proportional increase in strength. I was pretty smart before my Elite breakout, so that also obscures the difference. To use a visual analogy, it's like putting on glasses for the very first time as a kid; things become a lot clearer, sharper. And you didn't realize how limited you could see before you put them on," he tries to explain, tapping his lenses for emphasis. "I suppose that the biggest difference in my behavior would be a commitment to actively use my gifts, instead of just coasting.""What," Emmet inquires, clearly bewildered. "Please don't take offense," he says to Raph hesitantly, holding up his hands defensively, "But you're not real? I mean, where are you when not here with Cody? Sorry," he says again. "A great deal of Elite powers seem to boggle the scientific mind."</blockquote>
