But is it necessary for your health?

I would have difficulty accessing the speed force safely without it.

[ IS IT A LIE? IS IT TRUE? She'd have to check around. ]

So you wouldn't be able to use your speed?

[DETAILS, come up with your detailed FALSEHOODS, Savitar.]

It's just with the recent events, it's a risk to keep out where anything, or anyone can get to it. Kevin's problems are life threatening, if he leaves the pool right now, George can't treat patients, and what if there's some effect we don't know?

It could be harmful.

That hasn't happened before now. And I've helped people with it, haven't I?

But that was when you intended to use it. Who knows what future incidents might cause it to do this again?

What if one of the people in the cocoons was pregnant? Would you even know what effect it could have on the baby?

[Yes, she went there. That's because she is there, but she's not admitting that.]

Kevin Keller would have been fine if he hadn't been removed from the cocoon. Why would you even do that?

The baby would have meta-powers, and the mother would exhibit those powers for the nine months of pregnancy.

I don't know why the decision was made to do that.

[In that way, she agrees with him.]

And what if the power was dangerous? What then?

Metahuman powers don't activate until adolescence.

How can you be confident of that?

[Pull back, Jemma.]

Never mind, it's a theoretical question anyway.

[Yeah, Jemma Simmons SUPER SPY.]

Is there a chance we could put the philosopher's stone in the vault, or build one closer to you where nothing could get at it?

Right. The theoretical question of 'if someone was pregnant, would that hurt the baby'. Sure. Okay.

[ He's not buying it. ]

What vault?

It’s just one of many potential problems that could’ve occurred.

[Well, she believed him when he said being away from the philosopher’s stone was bad, so one falsehood will stand.]

There’s a vault, in C&P where the most volatile objects are kept. So far, it’s been impenetrable.

Maybe it just seems like that because no one knows it's there?

That seems pretty far. What if I needed it?

Yes, saying such things can be seen as bad luck, but since there’s no such thing as bad luck, right now, it’s the safest place for the philosopher’s stone.

Until you can build something closer, or a vault for it in the meta lab that’s discussed?

Actually, I'd say that there is. There's a meta in my world and I assume in Barry's version as well who emits a quantum field that alters local probability to favor her positively which in turn causes everyone else to suffer negatively. Before that happened, nothing good had ever happened to her.

That still doesn't answer the question of what if I need it.

Oh god, I don’t need to think about genuine bad luck right now, Savitar. There are enough things on my mind.

And doesn’t that lend even more credence to my point that it’s best if the sone is locked away?

[Jemma’s way more testy than usual and wants that stone away from everything!]

You can retrieve it when you need it. It’s not permanently kept from you, just from everything else in New Dodge.

No. Have you locked away potions? Wands? Magic books? The Doctor's TARDIS?

[ Jemma, meet petulant!Savitar. ]

I'll think about it.

You know what hasn’t accidentally caused harm to other people in town? Wands, magic books, and the TARDIS.

[Jemma’s own reason for stubbornness is greater than yours, Savitar.]

It would be better if you made the decision rather than have it taken out of your hands.

Magical items at the antique shop have.

[ IS it, though? ]

In other words, if I say 'no', you'll take it anyway.

And have they nearly killed teenaged boys?

[Hells yes. Jemma’s going to be one hell of a mama bear.]

I’ll come up with a solution myself, yes. I’d rather you do it so you can have the access you need, but the town’s not at risk.

Should I go through the entire town's history and find things that could have killed teenage boys?

I said I would think about it.

Or you could focus on the one thing that did, and stop deflecting.

Think harder. I expect some sort of solution soon.

Or what, you'll arrest me for not thinking hard enough?

What? Of course not! If this was a legal matter, don't you think I'd have the Sheriff contact you?

But I've got the clear impression you'll hate anything I come up with.

[She's also under the impression something will be done, even if he snorts and stamps his feet while he does it.]

I'll think about it. As I said.

Fine.
