Diana’s mind was still racing from the unexpected turn with Bruce. She’d avoided calling him that, trying not to get too friendly but that flight sure was more than friendly. And I think I enjoyed it a little too much. Diana, what are you doing? He’s not even your team mate anymore. And what about Lex? She sighed inwardly. She had no clue what she was doing but taking him flying was something she’d always dreamed of and with him threatening to retire, she’d felt like it might be her last chance. If he actually meant what he said, she’d probably never see him again. Goddess it was good too.
She sighed and dragged herself into a cold shower, dressed in one of the suits Lex had bought and flew to the lab to check the progress and landed a bit outside, opting for the discreet approach. Nothing like a bit of work to take her mind off things. Inside, Luthor was giving orders to his team, walking them through the drill for the inspector who would be here soon. She walked up to him as he finished.
He turned to her. “Perfect timing my dear. We’re just putting the finishing touches on our test run.”
Diana nodded. “Good. I’m working on my speech in my head.”
He nodded, gesturing to a chair. “Take a seat Diana. The inspector will be here any moment.”
They went through one more dry run when they heard a car arrive outside. “That would be him” Luthor said, moving to the door. “Mr. Rodgers, welcome. Please come in.”
Diana stood and waited for the two men to move over to her.
Lex guided him to her. “This is my trusted associate Diana, without whose help this project would still be months away from completion.”
Diana reached out and shook his hand with a nod. “Thank you for coming.”
“A pleasure Diana” he replied, then turned back to Lex. “Alright Luthor. You have many people very interested in this experiment of yours.”
He bowed his head slightly. “Of course. Please have a seat and we’ll begin.”
Diana offered him the chair she had just vacated and stood to the side. Various Engineers and Scientists moved around in front of them, nodding to each other. The lights were powered down, save for the machines. A scientist loaded the new synthesized fuel while Diana explained the process. A second later the lights began coming back on even brighter than before, powered by their new fuel.
The inspector’s eyes went wide as he stood and moved over to the chamber. “This is incredible. And you did it with materials found on Earth?”
Diana moved over to the inspector and held up a small canister for him to inspect. “It’s a mixture of Earthen and alien compounds, extensively tested to be harmless and safe for humans.”
He took it and marveled at it. “This is incredible. You will get your funding. The world must know about this.”
She smiled “Thank you. With the go ahead we’ll be able to start producing quantities to serve everyone who would want it.”
“I think the world will want it. We’ll be in touch” he said, shaking her and Lex’s hand firmly.
She gave a nod and smiled to Lex “We’ll be holding a Press Conference tomorrow to unveil this to the public.”
The inspector nodded and left.
Alone in the Batcave, Bruce continued to ponder the events of the previous day. He still couldn’t get over the freedom he felt as Diana flew him through the sky and wondered if maybe there wasn’t a little more to it like Clark had said.
Alfred came into the Batcave. “Master Bruce, I think there’s something on the news that might interest you.”
Bruce looked back with a confused stare. “Thank you Alfred” he said, switching on the news just in time to see the beginning of the LexCorp press conference announcing the status of their new project. He saw Diana in the background and watched intently.
Diana looked out over the crowd and swallowed. She and Luthor had spent a large chunk of the previous evening working out the last kinks in her speech, polishing and deciding on her attire, which was a form-fitting grey suit and practicing. She felt confident as she stepped up to the podium and began speaking.
She looks amazing Bruce thought as he listened to her speech.
She spoke of the dawn of energy and the creation of the lightbulb and the progress since and segwayed into a bit of information on their new fuel before stepping back for the live demonstration which went flawlessly. She could hear the gasps and whispers of pleasure and continued her speech “This new fuel will not only be more cost effective for the consumer, it will help protect our vitally important environment. Our fuel requires far less raw or valuable materials to create and produces none of the harmful pollutants of traditional fuels.”
He heard his communicator go off and grabbed it. “Batman here.”
“Bruce, it’s Clark. Turn on channel…”
“I know Clark. I’m watching it. It looks like they actually were making a fuel alternative.”
Diana continued on “Our scientists estimate that our global footprint will be dramatically reduced within two years of switching to our fuel and it will dramatically slow global warming.”
Having finished her speech she relaxed a bit “I’ll take questions now.” she looked at the Press pit.
The hands fired up. The first one she chose stood. “How long before this will be made available to the public?”
“We’re hoping to be able to offer it to consumers by July of this year.” she nodded and gestured to another.
“You’re saying there’s absolutely no side affects?”
“We’ve had our best Scientists and Engineers working on this 24 hours a day. We have tested it rigorously and would not offer it to the public if it were dangerous.”
The murmuring continued. Another reporter stood up. “And this will be more affordable to more people?”
She nodded “Yes. Because it requires less materials, the cost to manufacture it is far lower. This in turn benefits the consumer. The current gas price in this country is almost two dollars a gallon. Our fuel will cost half that. Consumers will save thousands of dollars a year by switching.”
“She’s good.” Clark said on the other end of the phone.
“You aren’t kidding” Bruce said. “She’s even convincing me to switch.”
Another reporter stood up. “What about the cost of converting cars to run on this fuel?”
“Our team is working hard with the automotive industry to make switching as comfortable as possible. Because we understand the current economic crisis and consumer’s concerns, we’re please to offer discounts to those who make the switch in the first six months.”
A round of applause began and slowly built to a thunderous ovation.
Diana smiled and posed a few moments for the cameras, dragging Luthor out for them as well and then giving a nod to the reporters and disappearing with him. Away from the public she hugged him tightly “We did it.”
He pulled her close and kissed her. “We did it. We’re going to be rich Diana.”
“I’m going to sleep for a week straight when this is all done.”
“You deserve it my dear. You did an amazing job. Come on. The Press Conference will keep them busy for a day or two. We need to celebrate.”
She arched a brow but allowed him to pull her out of the building.
