“That was fast.” Clark said in surprise when Bruce returned.
“She’s got better hearing than you. I expected it.”
“What happened?” J’onn asked.
“She pulled me through a wall, took a defensive stance between myself and Luthor, told me that she’s working on the project, and then just let me go.”
“Well…not so bad then.” Clark offered.
“Could’ve been a lot worse” Bruce said, taking a seat. “On an interesting note, she said that she would’ve told me what the project was if I would’ve just asked. Oddly enough, I believed her.”
“She’s still Diana. I sensed a lot of turmoil within her.” J’onn said.
Bruce looked at Clark and then back at J’onn. “J’onn, why don’t you ask her?”
“You think he’d have any more luck?” Clark arched a brow.
“Why not? She has no issues with J’onn.”
J’onn and Clark looked at one another and then nodded “I will keep you updated.” he moved to the Javelin bay.
With the samples needing to be temperature controlled and the large Batman-shaped hole preventing that, they had to move to the warehouse next door and re-set up the lab. Diana was making quick work for flying the large computers and lab machinery to it’s new destination and getting it re hooked up there as Luthor supervised.
He looked over as Diana entered with a large piece of equipment. “Set that down here if you would please my dear.” He turned to his crew. “Alright. Get these samples in the containment unit and make sure that everything is back online. We need this test run within the hour.”
Diana set the large mainframe down and moved over to talk to the Engineers.
Lex turned and began to plug wires into the mainframe. The control panel flashed to life. “Excellent. It appears that everything is still online.”
“They’ll be back.” she warned.
“I have no doubt of that. But we have nothing to hide.”
She nodded and went back to work. A while later she moved outside to take in some sun when a figure came up from the ground in front of her. “J’onn.” she nodded.
“Hello Diana. Please forgive my intrusion.”
“I knew you’d return.”
He simply nodded. “It is good to be predictable.”
She leaned against the outside wall “What do you want to know?”
“I have come to see what your project is. I have no qualms with anyone here. I just need to know if we have any reason to be on our guard.”
“No. I wouldn’t be involved if it were, or were illegal. It’s an alternative fuel source, a hybrid of Earth and alien chemicals.”
The Martian’s eyes flashed briefly. “Thank you Diana.”
She nodded.
He took a step back. “We miss you you know” he said.
“I know. I didn’t hurt Batman yanking him through the wall did I?”
He shook his head. “Only his pride, which was actually a good thing for us.”
“That’s good.” she nodded and headed inside.
“All of us miss you. Not one exception” he said, phasing back into the ground.
She sighed as she moved back inside, then pushed all her feelings away and went back to work with the Engineers.
J’onn docked the Javelin at the Watchtower and made his way back to the monitoring womb.
“How’d it go?” Clark turned.
“I now know their mission purpose. They’re devising an alternative fuel source using a combination of alien and Earthen technology.”
“That’s it? Are you sure?”
“I have no doubt that Diana was telling me the truth.”
Clark grimaced and looked over at Bruce.
Bruce shrugged. “So maybe we were wrong.”
“Yeah. About a lot of things.” he sighed and walked out of the monitoring womb.
Diana sat on top of the warehouse. Luthor had left to attend to other business, telling her he’d return later. She’d worked with the engineers, and then the scientists. Now she’d run out of work for the moment.
She felt the building rumble underneath her and she dashed back inside. The scientists were scrambling to open windows and turn on fume hoods.
They all looked at her as she stared with a gaped expression. “The samples weren’t the proper temperature” one of them said to her. “The explosion caught the manganese supply we had and destroyed it all. Without a fresh supply, we’re at a standstill.”
“That was the hardest one to get.” she growled in frustration.
“We’re sorry. We didn’t think it would be that unstable.”
She sighed. “Give me another two barrels.”
The quickly sterilized two more barrels and wheeled them over to her. She took them and flew off towards the area she had collected the samples the first time.
Luthor returned several minutes later, looking around at the smoke. “What happened here? Where’s Diana?”
The scientists debated and offered one of themselves as the sacrificial lamb. “Sir, we had a minor explosion. The samples weren’t at the proper temperature, and the resulting blast took out our stock of manganese. Diana went to collect more.”
Luthor sighed angrily. “Dammit. This is going to set us back days. When she returns, make sure the samples are contained properly.”
The scientists nodded “Of course.”
“Get back to work then. Clear this area of the smoke and stabilize everything.”
They scurried back to work and he turned back, heading toward his headquarters at LexCorp, busying himself with more paperwork and trying to figure out why the samples went wrong.
A little over an hour later his phone rang.
“It’s the lab. We’ve stabilized the new samples and sent Diana to the medical bay.”
He stood up. “Medical bay? What the hell happened?”
“She had injures to her hands and head.”
He slammed the phone down and rushed to the medical bay, sliding the door open as the medic looked back in surprise. “What happened?”
Diana looked up from where the medic had just finished splinting and wrapping both hands. Another was working on stitching the nasty gash she had from over one eye down to nearly her earlobe. The medic stuttered and she took pity on him “I took most of the readily available samples on my first trip. When I had to replace them, I had to dig deeper into the mountain and the mountain fought back.”
He sat down beside her and kissed her forehead. “Diana… I’m so sorry.”
“It’s ok. The cut will probably be healed by morning and the hands should only take a couple days.” she glanced at the x rays of her crushed bones.
He shook his head. “No… this shouldn’t have happened. If we’d have contained the samples better.” His eyes glazed over. “If it wasn’t for that blasted Batman.”
The medic finished on her hands. “We can give her something for the pain.” he looked at Luthor.
“Don’t look at me” he growled. “Talk to her.”
Diana shook her head “I don’t feel any pain.”
The medic’s brow raised “Really?”
She shrugged and the other medic stitching huffed a little “Sit still or I’ll get this need in your eye.”
“Great Gaia, you’re terrible at this anyway.” she huffed a little. “Did my samples survive?”
He nodded. “They did and are stabilized.”
“Good. I wasn’t sure.”
He leaned forward and kissed her gently. “Not to worry my dear.”
She kissed back. “Back to the grind.”
“Not until you’re healed. You just relax for a few days.”
“I can still help. My hands are mostly out of commission but I can still read or look over formulas…”
He nodded. “That’s fine. But nothing too strenuous until you’re 100%.
She nodded and moved out of the medical bay. As it turned out, there wasn’t much else to do. The computers had been assembled earlier, the samples were contained and being slowly tested. If she’d had more dexterous use of her fingers she may have been able to help on that end but as it stood now she was just going to risk breaking all the glass instruments. She gave up lingering around after fifteen minutes and headed back to Luthor’s house. She ran herself a bath using her wrists, elbow and even knees to get the tub filled. Her hands were casted and she wrapped them carefully in cling wrap before she sank into the tub and sighed happily.
Back at the lab, Luthor made sure that the samples were at the proper temperature. “Alright. Test time. We’re going to get it right this time”
