A Leap of Faith (Part 2)

Chapter 395 - Blue Kryptonite

Lena now quickly goes running to the monitoring station where she can see all the video footage from inside the lab, and talk to Lillian, Eliza, J'onn and Winn clearly. Once inside this room, Lena clearly sees that presently Lillian is holding a blue glowing rock in some tongs, with the rest of the group just looking at the kryptonite. It truly does have a real glow to it, almost as if it is powered in some way. In most other circumstances Lena would be fascinated by this, and want to try and figure out what the affects of this blue kryptonite are, and what possible things it could be implemented to do on Earth, a bit like how Lena knows that black kryptonite, on Argo, can be used as a power source. Then, at the same time, Lena would usually love to study this rock just to make sure that they all know how a kryptonite reacts to being exposed to blue kryptonite, just in case Kara, or any of the other kryptonians, get accidentally exposed to blue kryptonite in the future. Right now, they, in The Tower, might be the only ones that actually have blue kryptonite, but in the future Lena is sure there will be many more people who try and create different forms of kryptonite as a way to try and take down Supergirl. However, for the moment, Lena has to put all of that curiosity, and scientific nature, to the side, because in reality that only thing that is important presently, is that this first experiment has failed, as they have made blue kryptonite instead of gold. All this will mean is that Lillian, Winn, J'onn and Eliza will have to start again, and try and make a different form of kryptonite using a different atom suggested construction that Lena's programme has made. The only problem with this though, is the group have absolutely no idea how long this will take, or how many attempts it will require. It is possible that there might be as many different forms of kryptonite as there are colors, meaning they could make hundreds of different kryptonites before making gold. Lena just really does not hope it comes to that though. They just need a little bit of luck to fall on their side, which is something that recently they haven't really had.

"That is blue kryptonite alright." Lena says over comms to Lillian, Winn, J'onn and Eliza.

"Yes, unfortunately not what we are looking for." Lillian comments, "It does have a remarkable glow to it, however."

"Yes, I know, and perhaps, in the future, when all of this is over, we can study it, and learn more about it, but right now, you are just going to have to pick another suggested atom construction my programme has, and try again, and just hope that one produces gold kryptonite." Lena says.

"Yes, of course." Lillian says, "What should I do with this though? I don't think it's a good idea to just leave this lying about while we conduct further experiments."

"Yes, that is why I had these stored in here." J'onn says.

J'onn now opens a metal cabinet on one side of the room, and soon reveals a bunch of metal cases inside. J'onn picks up one of the cases and brings it over to Lillian, and soon opens it, revealing some padding on the inside, and a place in the very middle of the padding to put a small object, such as kryptonite rock.

"We should be able to store the kryptonite in here. The case is reinforced, and has lead lining, so it should prevent any kryptonian from being exposed to the kryptonite, while also keeping it secure from being opened up easily, but a thief or anything." J'onn says, "Then, once we are done here, I will take all of the cases that we fill up with kryptonite, and have them stored in a secure area of The Tower, which has more measures to make sure a kryptonian can't be exposed to the kryptonite if an accident were to happen."

"Okay. That sounds like a smart idea." Lillian nods, and now carefully places the blue kryptonite in the compartment meant for the rock in the case.

Once Lillian has placed the blue kryptonite in the case, J'onn soon shuts the case and makes sure to double lock it, before storing it back in the metal cabinet, and shutting the door behind him.
