If you’re serious, there will be work for you here with me.”
“I’m not asking to be number one or for you to change who you are, but I won’t rob banks or kill indiscriminately.”
He chuckled. “That won’t be necessary. I’m actually working on an alternative fuel source that could eliminate our need for fossil fuels.”
“Then you have my help. What can I do?”
“How’s your scientific mind?”
She smirked “Adequate.”
“Excellent. Then I can use an extra set of eyes on these charts.”
She took the charts he handed her and began mulling through them slowly, taking a pencil off his desk and highlighting a few errors in the elements. A few minutes later she handed it back.
He looked at it and then back up at her. “I’ve been looking at this for weeks and haven’t made a change. You did this in five minutes.”
“I..didn’t really do much chemistry with the League.”
He picked up his phone. “Send Reynolds in here immediately.” A few minutes later a squirrelly looking scientist entered the office. Luthor showed him the charts. “Well Reynolds? Will it work?”
He nodded excitedly. “I think so, sir. This is the break we’ve been looking for.” He scurried off to the lab.
Lex stood and smiled at Diana. “You may not have done much there, but your help has already proven invaluable.”
She smiled, feeling a little better about her break. “Anything else I can do?”
“Yes. Join me for lunch before we return to work.”
“Ok.” she stood up and followed him to a private dining area.
He held out her chair and sat down once she was seated. “After lunch, there’s going to be a bit of traveling work to begin assembling some materials.”
“I’ll help where needed.” she ordered a burger and salad.
“I know Diana. I don’t doubt it” he said, ordering the same. They chatted casually while they ate and then returned to his office. He moved over to his desk and pulled out a list. “We need several samples of materials. Some are very easy to come by, and some are quite rare. But if your calculations are correct and we are able to get this working, we’ll have no problem getting the funds we need for mining.”
She looked over the list and then at him “Do you want me to get these?”
“If possible.”
She nodded “I’ll return in a bit.”
He took her hand. “I shall wait with bated breath.”
With a smile, she moved to his window and was pleased to find it opened. “Convenient. How large a sample are you looking for?”
“At least 100 pounds of each.”
Clark walked up to Bruce in the cafeteria and sat down “Do you think we made the right choice?”
The lenses looked up at him. “Do you think she did?”
“I don’t know. The idea of them together bothers me as much as it does you. But I can’t help but think of some of the things she said.”
“No. But that we were being unfair, hypocritical even. I’ve made some bad decisions in my personal life. Let’s not even get started on yours.” he smiled a little “Why do we hold her to such a different standard? I tried to tell myself that I was looking out for her but I can be honest…I’m not sure that’s all it was for me.”
“Maybe we were wrong Clark, but I don’t think we’re being unfair to her. She’s a warrior at heart and she doesn’t understand some human emotions.”
“Didn’t we punish her for that too? I suspended her simulation privileges when I found out she had created a Justice Lords simulation.”
“I don’t blame you. She may see it as a noble idea, but I see it as transference of anger.”
“I don’t know Bruce. This team is like a second family and I don’t take losing a member lightly. I know it was her choice in the end but some part of it still feels like maybe we were wrong. We all have other lives we can lead when we need a break but she didn’t. I can’t say I agree with the one she found but she still gave us her all, didn’t she? Isn’t that what matters in the end? There’s also the other problem we have to think about now.”
“In the end, that’s what matter. What’s the other problem?”
“What if she goes back to him?”
“I think we can rule out ‘what if’ Clark. I’m almost positive she went to him immediately. I think we just cross our fingers and hope he doesn’t turn her. If he does, then we may have a serious problem.”
Clark just sighed and sunk into thought.
The first stop for Diana was the LexCorp laboratory. Luthor had phoned down and alerted them that she would be coming. They supplied her with proper sterile barrels for the samples. Even empty, the barrels were solid and took three to four people and a dolly to move. She picked one up easily with one hand, as though it weighed nothing. She grabbed one in each hand and headed off. Through her missions with the Justice League, she had traveled the world many times and knew were each of the samples were located.
Filling the first two barrels was easy enough and she returned them to the lab within two hours and picked up two more empty barrels. The next samples were further out and it took her four hours to procure enough samples and she nearly lost the samples when the rocks shifted and a landslide of boulders almost crushed the barrels. She worked without break. Two barrels in, two barrels out. The list of samples was long but she had worked through two thirds by morning and the lab phoned Luthor upstairs to deliver their progress report.
“We’re nearly done collecting all the samples, Mr. Luthor.” the lab manager said.
“Excellent. Keep me updated.” He hung up the phone. She’s proving to be more than just a pretty face he thought.
Diana grabbed the last two barrels and headed north to procure the last samples. She was glad that she wasn’t affected by extreme temperatures, even in her uniform. Her skin froze and icicles formed on her hair and lasso as she pushed far north. She was glad for her flight powers when she almost fell into more than one chasm. The barrels were filled and she returned to the lab, giving the workers something to stare at as she returned more frozen than not.
Luthor was waiting in the lab for her return. He began to applaud. “My dear, you are indeed a wonder.”
She brushed the ice off as best she could, shaking out her lasso and hair. “I hope it helped.”
“Only time will tell” he said, holding out his arm to her. “Let’s get you warmed up.”
She took his arm with her own ice cold one.
He sucked in a breath. “And we should do it in a hurry before I freeze as well.”
“I don’t feel it.” she smirked.
“Immune to cold as well as disease are you?”
“For the most part, yes. It takes more than most normal conditions to slow me down.” ”
“So nowhere on this planet is what I gather.”
She smirked “Pretty much.”
He nodded. “Good to know.” He led her back to his office. “I have a shower in there you can use if you’d like.”
“Thank you.” she nodded and moved inside the bathroom, stripping quickly and stepping into a warm spray. The ice began to melt away quickly and she scrubbed off the layer of dust and dirt beneath it.
He heard the shower turn off and moved over to the door. “Do you need a towel?”
She looked around “I suppose so, yes.”
The door opened and he strolled in holding a towel out to her. “Here you are my dear.”
She took it and began drying her hair, unconcerned with modesty.
“So lovely and so strong. You are the perfect creation.”
She stared at him in the mirror, touched by the compliment “Thank you.”
He smiled and nodded. “And thank you for all your help. If the lab comes back with positive results, we’ll have our alternative fuel source.”
