Kara Danvers • Supergirl
- Winn Schott: I have done something amazing.
- Kara Danvers: Did you find Pestilence?
- Winn Schott: I have done something okay.
- [to Mon-El]
- Winn Schott: You, come here.
- Mon-El: What?
- Winn Schott: I have fixed your old suit.
- Mon-El: [hugging him in appreciation] Winn...
- Winn Schott: Hey, can I say it? Can I say it? Please?
- Kara Danvers: [amused] Yes.
- Winn Schott: [Mon-El puts him down] Suit up.
- J'onn J'onzz: [playing Charades] That doesn't count.
- M'yrnn J'onzz: Why?
- J'onn J'onzz: Because you're shape-shifting, dad.
- M'yrnn J'onzz: [dressed like an astronaut] Oh.
- [he shape-shifts back to normal]
- M'yrnn J'onzz: Human games have so many rules.
- Kara Danvers: He didn't break any of the rules.
- Alex Danvers: It's... you know what? It's fine. Just let him have it. We're slaughtering 'em, anyway.
- Winn Schott: [he laughs] Hey, the Martian Man-Father strikes again.
- Kara Danvers: Martian Man-Father?
- Winn Schott: Fine. The Martian Dad Hunter.
- M'yrnn J'onzz: "The Cook, the Thief, His Wife & Her Lover."
- Alex Danvers: What?
- J'onn J'onzz: Cheating again. Come on, dad, no mind reading.
- M'yrnn J'onzz: You keep accusing me of not following the rules. You are one to talk.
- [J'onn is confused]
- M'yrnn J'onzz: My son used to wait for me to leave, and the moment I had gone, he would switch around the pieces on the Ok-Rock-Tock board. When I caught him, he blamed his imaginary friend... what was his name?
- James Olsen: Wait, wait, wait. I'm sorry. You had an imaginary friend?
- J'onn J'onzz: No, I...
- M'yrnn J'onzz: Oh, yes, he did. You said he was a fifth-dimensiona imp who came just to move the pieces. What was his name?
- J'onn J'onzz: [giving in] Zook.
- M'yrnn J'onzz: Zook!
- Alex Danvers, James Olsen, Winn Schott, Kara Danvers: [amused] Zook!
- M'yrnn J'onzz: "Zook! Zook did it! It was Zook!" That was you.
- Alex Danvers: There's a big disturbance downtown.
- Kara Danvers: Well, time to get back to the salt mine.
- [seeing everyone look at her as she calmy unbuttons her shirt]
- Kara Danvers: What? I like this shirt.
- Supergirl: You're right. We have been through a lot together. Like that time when you promised you wouldn't leave the DEO, and instead you ran off, you got wasted. You were reckless, selfish, you lied, and you didn't apologize.
- Mon-El: Kara, I...
- Supergirl: And then there was the time I got you a job at CatCo. I vouched for you at my place of employment. And then you had Eve do all of your work for you, and then you screwed her in the closet. You didn't apologize for that. And, shocker, I apologized to you for trying to make you into a better person.
- Mon-El: I hear you. I get it.
- Supergirl: No, I don't think you do get it. I don't think you get that I gave my heart to a lying jackass, who was unaware of his behavior towards me, who disrespected me at every turn, and now is this reformed person who, what, he wants to reminisce about the good times?
- Alex Danvers: [entering, with one of Winn's psychic inhibitors] Kara, put this on.
- Supergirl: I know how hard it is when everything we know to be true changes. But sometimes all we can do is just accepet the way things are, and make the best of that.
- M'yrnn J'onzz: I am sorry for the pain I caused. I hurt you, all of you. I was so fearful of losing control of what's left of my life, I refused to accept what was happening. And it nearly cost me everything I hold dear.
- J'onn J'onzz: I hoped I would've been able to protect you all better.
- Alex Danvers: You protect us all the time, J'onn.
- Supergirl: Tonight was our turn.
- Kara Danvers: Can we talk about yesterday?
- Mon-El: You were whammied by the psychic attack.
- Kara Danvers: Yes, that's true, but I... the things I said... I thought I had dealt with my feelings about us. But when we were in this episode, it made me realize that our relationship was not perfect. You know, maybe I... I knew that deep down. But especially when you were gone, I was so busy missing you and romanticizing us... I do feel a big weight off my shoulders. So, in a way, I'm grateful that it happened. I'm just really sorry that it took a Martian attack to make it come out. And I'm sorry it was so... brutal.
- Mon-El: You know what? The truth can be brutal. It's not news to me that I used to be a jerk. And I'm... I am sorry. I'm sorry. For all of it. I didn't really grasp your perspective back then.
- Kara Danvers: Yeah, but still, I... I shouldn't have hit you. I'm sorry for that. And I'm sorry for... I'm just sorry.
- Mon-El: Can we make an agreement?
- Kara Danvers: Yes.
- Mon-El: [offering a handshake] No more apologies.
- Kara Danvers: Your dad, he's... he's strong.
- J'onn J'onzz: Yeah, he seems to be taking this better than I am. He's doing everything he can to keep his mind sharp.
- Supergirl: [catching a thrown bottle in a bar fight] Can't hold your liquor?
- [to Agent Demos as she puts the bottle down]
- Supergirl: What happened?
- Demos: She just went crazy, started wrecking the place.
- Supergirl: You get everyone out of here. I'll take care of her.
- [she speeds forward, but the Kalanorian knocks her backwards into an arcade cabinet]
- Supergirl: [untangling herself] I had the high score on that!
- Mon-El: We've been using every device on our ship to try and tracy Purity and Reign since the subway attack, but there's no sign of them.
- Winn Schott: As they say on the farm, "not a peep."
- Mon-El: Imra thinks they're looking for, uh, Pestilence.
- Kara Danvers: Who we still know nothing about.
- Mon-El: Right. And based on our experiences with the Blight in the future, Pestilence should be the easiest to see coming. The Blight presents as diseases, plagues, real Old Testament stuff. Winn?
- Winn Schott: [turning on a computer screen] Oh, yeah.
- Mon-El: I think this should qualify.
- Kara Danvers: [seeing a snow bank with what looks like a river of blood] Whoa.
- Mon-El: Brainy and Imra went to check it out.
- Winn Schott: Ooh! Better them and not us. I hate the cold. Very thin skin. Plus, the rivers of blood, yeah.
- J'onn J'onzz: What if Reign and Purity find Pestilence before we do?
- Mon-El: They won't.
- Kara Danvers: And if they do, we'll be ready. Which means it's time for us to start training. Teach me how you fight in the future.
- Mon-El: Think it's time we make you a Legionnaire.
- Kara Danvers: Big chunk of concrete is not gonna do anything to me that her fists couldn't do better.
- Mon-El: She's playing with her food.
- Kara Danvers: [spotting something] That's how I beat her. Can, uh... can we rewind?
- [the video rewinds]
- Kara Danvers: Yeah, she's got me beat on muscle somehow. But all that power is coming from the ground, from that planted foot right there.
- Mon-El: Mm-hmm.
- Kara Danvers: And she doesn't bother with footwork. So when she goes high, that's my window.
- Mon-El: It's also where your cape comes in. If she wants to be a bull, you be a bullfighter.
- Supergirl: [seeing Mon-El's Legion suit] Wow.
- Mon-El: You always said I cleaned up nicely. It's just like old times, huh? Training again.
- Supergirl: Except I basically had to twist your arm to train. You had no interest in being a hero. And now...
- Mon-El: I've come a long way. You ready?
- Supergirl: Yeah, I was born ready.
- [she throws a punch, but he uses his cape to counter, then sweeps her feet out from under her]
- Mon-El: If she's not gonna use her feet, use yours.
- Supergirl: But can my cape even do that?
- Mon-El: Yeah.
- Supergirl: I did not know that.
- Mon-El: Yeah, I won't either for another thousand years. We studied your cape to make mine; it's Kryptonian meta-material. Smartcloth.
- Supergirl: Show me.
- Supergirl: [training with her cape] Damn.
- Mon-El: Keep your back foot planted. You have it.
- Supergirl: [trying again] Why isn't this working?
- Mon-El: I don't know.
- [he tries with his cape, and throws the tool across the room]
- Supergirl: I mean, the steps are easy. I should be getting this.
- Mon-El: Well, go easy on yourself. The first time you trained me, you kicked me around the room like a hacky sack. It was humbling. I was, uh...
- Supergirl: Hung over. You were hung over.
- Mon-El: I'd forgotten that part.
- Supergirl: Can we keep training, please?
- Supergirl: [after the psychic anomaly] It's like what I saw the Kalanorian do in the bar.
- Alex Danvers: I told you she needed more observation.
- Supergirl: Well, it's still visiting hours.
- Alex Danvers: Let's go see her.
- J'onn J'onzz: In the meantime, Agent Schott, round up the inhibitors we used against Psi. Recalibrate them. Make sure there's enough to go around. I didn't take enough precautions last time, I will now.
- Supergirl: J'onn, you knew?
- J'onn J'onzz: I didn't wanna believe it was getting worse. My father has been using a Martian practice called Ta'ar Ka'riq to move his memories and emotions from the decaying parts of his mind to the healthy parts. But it takes tremendous amounts of energy. Sometimes psychic bleeds can happen. And the more powerful the Martian, the more powerful the bleed. Other psychic species, like Kalanorians, would be the first to feel the effects. When an attack intensifies, it can affect anyone in close proximity, and not just other psychics. I brought M'yrnn to the DEO because I... felt I could put a shield over this place and keep you all safe, but... my father's angry about what's happening to his mind. And his aggression was being funneled into all of you.
- Alex Danvers: Can't you help him with the dampening technology?
- J'onn J'onzz: He has relied on his mind his entire life. First as a theologian, then as a prisoner. It's what kept him alive for 300 years. The White Martians may have had him locked in a cage, but he was still free. This technology would make him reliant on me. It would strip him of the one thing the White Martians never could. His independence, his, um... his dignity.
- Alex Danvers: I remember sitting in, uh... in my kitchen when my mom got the call that my grandmother drove through a traffic light. By the grace of God, nobody was hurt. That was one of the hardest things my mom had to do, taking away her keys. She told my mom off, and she cried. Suddenly she's in this position she's never been in before. She's an adult being treated like a child. And it was ugly, and painful. But it's what had to be done. For her protection. For everyone's protection.
- J'onn J'onzz: I can face down the toughest adversaries without fear, but talking to my father about this... I don't wanna take away more from him than he's already lost. I just got him back. The practice of Ta'ar Ka'riq keeps him as close to the man I've always known, and I... I don't wanna give that up.
- Supergirl: My uncle Jor-El used to say "The son becomes the father, and the father the son."
- Alex Danvers: Well, she's a Kalanorian. No criminal record.
- Kara Danvers: Then why'd she go all "Road House" on me? Demos says she wasn't provoked.
- J'onn J'onzz: Kalanorians are psychics. Empaths.
- Alex Danvers: Well, maybe she got her signals crossed with another psychic?
- J'onn J'onzz: [his eyes turn red as he scans her] I'm not seeing any psionic anomalies.
- Alex Danvers: Well, she tore that bar up.
- J'onn J'onzz: Her species are prone to outbursts during astronomical events.
- Alex Danvers: Such as?
- J'onn J'onzz: Mercury's in retrograde.
- Alex Danvers: Wait, what?
- Kara Danvers: Like astrology?
- J'onn J'onzz: More like complex luminal and gravatic shifts that detrmine Kalanorian brain function, but sure, astrology. Put her containment. We have these Worldkillers to focus on.
- Mon-El: [reviewing Kara's previous battle with Reign] She doesn't fight, she hunts. All power, all aggression. Stop.
- Kara Danvers: Wow!
- Mon-El: Yeah, Brainy stitched this together from every bank cam, satellite image, and cell phone video he could find.
- Kara Danvers: That's so cool. The future's cool!
- Mon-El: Welcome to the 31st century.
- Demos: Really, coward? Have you ever even held a gun before?
- Winn Schott: [pulling back the slide to chamber a round] I'm holding one now.
- [Demos disarms him, and Alex enters to break up the fight]
- Alex Danvers: Hey! Hey! Knock it off! Knock it off!
- [she fights off Demos]
- Alex Danvers: [to Winn] I am always cleaning up your messes.
- Winn Schott: Get out of my face!
- Supergirl: [entering to pull Alex off Winn] Hey! Hey, break it up! Come on! Get off of him.
- Alex Danvers: [everything suddenly returns to normal] What the hell just happened?
- J'onn J'onzz: It was a psychic anomaly. I put a barrier up to protect you all.
- Alex Danvers: Oh, god. Winn, I'm sorry. Are you okay?
- Winn Schott: I'm kind of... I feel like I'm gonna bleed.
