Kara Danvers • Supergirl
- Lena Luthor: You know, I knew this is how you'd react. But James Olsen convinced me that we were on the same side. He thought you'd actually be grateful.
- Supergirl: You think I should be grateful that you learned how to make the one substance on this planet that can kill me?
- Lena Luthor: Thousands of things can kill me, Supergirl. And everyone else on this planet. Fire, but we don't go around banning bonfires or candles. Cars kill people every day, and yet we still have the courage to get in them every morning and drive ourselves to work. There is one element on the planet that kills a Kryptonian, and you can't tolerate its existence.
- Supergirl: [quietly] No.
- Lena Luthor: You really do have a god complex.
- Brainiac-5: It is imperative that Imra return to the future. We don't know that the Titan Alliance will have held, given the change to the timeline. Every second we waste could bring us closer to intergalactic war.
- Supergirl: Well, with the Legion's help, we defeated two Worldkillers. I think we can handle Reign from here on out. Especially with my new cape tricks.
- Mon-El: Well, I guess it's back to the future, then. Which I do know is a movie title. I just like saying it.
- Supergirl: Mon-El's changed a lot. He's become a great man. And I'm certain you have a lot to do with that.
- Imra Ardeen: Thanks, Kara.
- Supergirl: It's no secret that I struggled when you got here.
- Mon-El: Yeah, you weren't the only one.
- Supergirl: But I can honestly say now, truthfully... I'm really happy I got to see you again. Witnessed the... the man you've become.
- Mon-El: It meant the world to me to be back here with you. And with, uh... with everyone. To fight by your side.
- Supergirl: I'm really gonna miss your friendship.
- Alex Danvers: Kara, there's been an attack at Lena's penthouse.
- Mon-El: [she turns to look at him] Go.
- Supergirl: We're sorry if we startled you, Ms. Arias. This is J'onn J'onzz from the FBI.
- J'onn J'onzz: We have reason to believe that Reign is on her way here.
- Supergirl: Which means this house isn't safe. We need to get you out of it.
- Patricia Arias: She's her, isn't she? My Sam is Reign.
- Supergirl: How do you know?
- Patricia Arias: [leading them into Sam's bedroom] I, uh... I never told her where she was from. I... I just wanted her to be normal, and then when she was ten, she started doodling all over her books. It was like something inside her just needed to get out, and I punished her for it. I grounded her, and I tore up the pages.
- [she pulls a section of wallpaper from the wall, revealing a drawing of Reign's sigil]
- Patricia Arias: So she drew it on the wall to spite me. When I saw the same mark all over the news, I knew.
- Patricia Arias: All I ever wanted to do was to protect her. That's all I ever wanted. When we bury things... and I should've known this, but... when we bury things, they come at you even harder.
- Supergirl: What Sam's become has nothing to do with the way she was raised.
- Patricia Arias: I was an awful mother. I kicked her out. I've never even met my granddaughter.
- J'onn J'onzz: Uh... we need to... get you out of here before she comes.
- Patricia Arias: No, if she's coming here, I wanna be here when she does. I kicked her out when I should've helped her. I am not gonna turn away from her now.
- Patricia Arias: Sam! Sam, I know you're in there. I know my daughter's in there. And I need her to understand, you are not this monster. You are kind and good. You are everything that I wasn't. You're not this. Honey, if you're istening, if you can hear me, I need you to rise up! Not for me. Not for me, Sam.
- [holding up a picture of Sam and Ruby]
- Patricia Arias: This is for Ruby. For your daughter.
- Reign: What did you do for your daughter?
- Supergirl: [Reign stabs Patricia with her claw-like nails] No!
- Patricia Arias: I love you, Sam. I forgive you.
- Supergirl: Patricia? Hey. Stay with us.
- Patricia Arias: When you see Sam, you'll tell her that I'm sorry. That I should have held her close. And tell Ruby... tell her that her grandmother loved her. Promise me.
- Supergirl: I promise.
- Supergirl: Do you know what it's like to walk into a room and your skin feels like it's going to be seared off your bones? Or like nails are running through your blood? That's what Kryptonite feels like.
- Lena Luthor: I don't know, it sounds like exactly what you need to subdue Reign.
- Supergirl: I need to be the only person in control of Kryptonite on this planet. Even if I did trust you, even if we were on the same side, this substance is so lethal to me that I can't risk encountering it by mistake.
- Lena Luthor: Trust is hard for me, too, Supergirl. But since we seem to need each other, we're just gonna have to figure it out.
- Supergirl: I owe you an apology, for being so hard on you. Without your kryptonite, we wouldn't have stopped her. You just have to understand when it's kryptonite, to me that's more than a gun or any of the other dangers you were talking about. It's personal.
- Lena Luthor: It's personal to me, too. It was a way to help my friend.
- Supergirl: I do trust you, Lena.
- Lena Luthor: Good.
- [noticing her share a look with Mon-El]
- Lena Luthor: If you'll both excuse me, I'm gonna work on a cure.
- Supergirl: Why'd you come back?
- Mon-El: Uh... well, it seems that, um, Brainy might have put a nanny cam in Winn's dirt.
- Supergirl: That's... upsetting.
- Mon-El: So, Brainy ran some calculations, and mathematically, the odds of you beating Reign in her new form exponentially increased if one member of the Legion comes back to help.
- Supergirl: Well, as always, I am thankful for Brainy's calculations.
- Mon-El: But you didn't even need me. Beating Reign using her-her ethical code against her? It's ingenious.
- Supergirl: I have M'yrnn to thank for that. And we couldn't have contained her without you, so... hopefully we can keep her here until we turn her back to Sam.
- Mon-El: Well, I'm not leaving until the mission's complete. And I think we should train.
- Supergirl: Yeah, okay. But, uh, later, all right? I... I'm gonna go talk to Ruby. I promised her grandmother I would tell her something.
- Kara Danvers: Alex tells me that you're helping Supergirl fight Reign. I'm sure she's so grateful for your help.
- Lena Luthor: Well... frankly, I am only working with Supergirl to save Sam because I have no other choice.
- Kara Danvers: What do you mean?
- Lena Luthor: Well, it's that old adage. "Never meet your idols", you know, "it'll only lead to disappointment"?
- Kara Danvers: Oh. Yes.
- Lena Luthor: Supergirl's not all truth and justice like she pretends to be. You know, she had James break into L-Corp and search my private vault?
- Kara Danvers: I'm sure she had a really good reason.
- Lena Luthor: Of course, James didn't do it.
- Kara Danvers: Really?
- Lena Luthor: Well, no. We've been dating each other for months. He knows me, and he trusts me, and I trust him. Supergirl went behind my back, and used my personal relationships against me. That's something my mother would do. She crossed a line. I can never trust her again.
- Supergirl: Why would Reign go after Lena?
- Winn Schott: Well, Lena, did imprison Reign and then, you know, experimented on her for a little bit.
- Alex Danvers: But revenge isn't Reign's M.O.
- J'onn J'onzz: I agree.
- Lena Luthor: You're right. Reign wasn't looking for me. She was looking for Ruby.
- Alex Danvers: Is she...
- Lena Luthor: Reign won't find her. Ruby's safe, I promise.
- Supergirl: And are you okay?
- Lena Luthor: Fine.
- Alex Danvers: I need to get to Ruby.
- Lena Luthor: I told you, she's... she's in a safe place. And the less people that know about that, the safer the place will be.
- Alex Danvers: I understand that, but she's probably afraid. Lena, please let me just get to her, just in case.
- Lena Luthor: Where Ruby is, Reign will never find her. It's not on any maps. You can't see it from space. Nobody knows about it, except for me and my brother.
- Supergirl: And how does Lex know about it?
- Lena Luthor: Because it's his mansion.
- Supergirl: Patricia Arias, we need to talk to you.
- J'onn J'onzz: Let's go.
- [entering the house]
- J'onn J'onzz: Mrs. Arias?
- Patricia Arias: [in another room] Francis Pierce, I told you that the next time I caught you in my house looking for pills, I was gonna put a hole through your thieving hand.
- [she pumps a shotgun as she enters; seeing who it is, she lowers the weapon, surprised]
- Patricia Arias: Supergirl.
- J'onn J'onzz: Everything is set.
- Supergirl: Patricia's in the safe room. She said we can grab anything out of the fridge if we want. She said there's pudding.
- J'onn J'onzz: No thanks.
- Supergirl: Mon-El and everyone missed you this morning.
- J'onn J'onzz: Uh, yeah, I'm sorry about that. I was, um, dealing with my father. Since the incident at the DEO, he has become increasingly... depressed. Irritable, if I push him.
- Supergirl: Can Alex prescribe something?
- J'onn J'onzz: I'm giving him Martian medicine, which helps. But the reality is, with the psychic dampener on, there isn't really much he can do. Yeah, I know I needed to protect him, protect all of us, but... I still wish there was some way I coud make him feel... useful. There are moments when he doesn't seem to remember who I am. Thinks I'm someone from his past.
- Supergirl: I'm sorry, J'onn.
- J'onn J'onzz: It's funny how his past memories are so clear to him, yet his present thoughts are so... chaotic.
- Supergirl: [giving him a comforting pat on the shoulder] Hey.
- [seeing him notice something, she turns around and sees a group of plants wither and die]
- J'onn J'onzz: Pestilence.
- Supergirl: How?
- Supergirl: [over Patricia's body] She's dying.
- J'onn J'onzz: Reign has all the Worldkillers' powers. Let's get her out of here.
- Supergirl: You should be resting.
- J'onn J'onzz: I need to be on my feet. Lying down is just so boring.
