[She's genuinely confused as to how he got that impression. The thought never even entered her head.]

No, I didn't. At no point did I say anything about your not willingly giving it to Harry. Now, if we're discussing giving it to ME, then yes, I was saying it wouldn't've been given because far be it anyone slightly disagree with Savitar. It might upset him to the point he becomes paranoid and believe every decision a person makes is about him. Then he sends those he previously loathed and plays on their guilt to get involved.

[She never knew the other Barry while he was here. All she knows about Barry Allen comes from Savitar, and none of it is good.]

And why was I supposed to contact you? Or the labs for that matter, when the head of them refused to provide data after the lab announces they've made some amazing breakthrough.

That's what you said.
And unless it was in a private communication I missed where you outright asked for it from him. See here's what I don't get. Back home, Savitar tried to kill me more than once. He did kill a friend. He even stabbed me.
But we're okay now.

So what could he have possibly done that was so unforgiveable to you in such a short span of time? [No, really. He doesn't understand.]

Savitar did refuse to provide me the information when I asked for it, the day the discovery was announced. Actually, I outright asked PETER for the information, or when it would be made available as he was the one who made the announcement on behalf of the meta labs. Savitar then interrupted telling me it would not be made available to me. I am summarizing what he said, as it was both uncalled for, and petty on his part.

So yes, you did miss my asking for it previously, and Savitar denying it. While I didn't ask him to, Harry felt the need to intervene and ask for the information. I don't want him involved in any of this as he doesn't need it, but he was concerned for my health.

You are also missing that there is a big difference between not wanting to deal with his petty whining and self-aggrandizement and wishing him ill. He responded to the job adverts like I'd planned them out to personally harm HIM. We no longer work on any projects together, so how he came to that conclusion says more about him than me.

You were talking about patient data at the time. Look I know we don't exactly have HIPAA laws out here but there's still this thing called privacy.

Nobody's involving Harry.
He asked me for something and I gave it over easily.

Look, I could count every single time you've insulted him by calling him names in our last few encounters but frankly I don't want to. [Mainly because it would only serve to rile him up again and he's still got work to do.] You may not wish him ill but none of that has been called for.

Now you are putting words into my mouth, or remembering things incorrectly because you're so biased.

I asked about the process, and the data from their research. I also asked why there seemed to be a debate as to what the procedure accomplished. Never did I mention patients, or patient data. Savitar tried to make it sound like I was saying no one would do it, which isn't even close to what I said. That's the closest to discussing patients that ever happened. Do not question my professional and medical ethics.

That was clear and unmistakable by anyone paying attention to the conversation. I'm sure I could find the recording and play it for you.

[Jemma had hung up before Peter and Savitar talked about patients, but she had nothing to do with that.]

I..

You know what? No.
I'm not going to get drawn into another debate about semantics and words versus the intent behind them. Even if he misunderstood you, you didn't take the time to clarify, you instantly went on the defensive.
You have the data now so frankly I don't care and consider the matter done.

My concern is that I'm hearing someone be unnecessarily and deliberately cruel to my family by calling him belittling names.

I think you meant to say that since Savitar automatically assumed the worst about every situation, you were foolish to trust his take. It's not my fault the pair of you hear what you want to hear rather than listen.

[She feels the same way about the stone incident. She never threatened to take it away from him, and even after clarifying, he's still insistent. Even clarifying serves no purpose.

And with the way those at the meta labs have behaved, Savitar wonders why she hasn't put herself, and thus her baby, in their hands. ]

And why should I clarify things that are perfectly clear? Obviously, no one wanted to listen. When a person repeats the SAME THING only Savitar would hear THE EXACT OPPOSITE.

Yet you started off this conversation insisting I must've been implying all sorts of things I NEVER IMPLIED.

Perhaps you may want to reconsider this conversation and why it is acceptable for him to assume, and spread the worst about me to other people, but why it's unacceptable for me to say what he is directly to him when he jumps in and all he intends to do is make false claims against me. While you're reconsidering that, reconsider your double standards as well.

Oh my god of course he assumed the worst. Do you know anything about him?

Christ you're as bad as Thawne. [Not a name she'll recognize but still. It's muttered as he shakes his head.]

Savitar hasn't resorted to name calling.
Maybe you can be an adult as well and knock it off. Right now all I want you to do is stop abusing my brother.

I might know as much about him as you. I am well aware everything you did to him. How much of this defense is guilt and how much of it is faith in Savitar.

Thawne? Really? You don't think you're being wildly overdramatic, or is that where Savitar gets it from?

[Barry, you have no idea what you've stepped into.]

What perceived injustices and few words is NOTHING in comparison to what he may have done to me, Barry Allen. I won't know for a long time what long-term damage he may have caused with his carelessness but HOW DARE Savitar be upset when confronted with someone who won't kowtow to his self-importance.

I'm sure he's very grateful to you for defending him, until you disagree with him, that is.

[A little over two months ago, there was Jemma, defending Savitar's personal decisions to Harrison Wells. Look at them now.]

Don't pretend that you know me. And if you knew him even a little bit you'd realize what that kind of childish name calling would do to him.

I don't know, a pretty profound amount of gaslighting? Calling him names? Hating Savitar for a potential slight with vague reasons such as "potential long term damage" and "what may have been done"? There's an irrational hate there that is more familiar than I think you know.

Look.
Hate him.
Hate me. I don't care.
Stop calling him names. At least be an adult about it.

[And with that Barry disconnects the line. He's pretty sure she isn't going to listen anyway.]
