Kara Danvers • Supergirl
- Alex Danvers: Mmm, I really need those. Do you have any, um...
- Kara Danvers: Rhubarb? Yeah, three. What do you think this is, amateur hour?
- Alex Danvers: The queen of pies.
- Supergirl: What's... what's happening? Why am I in here? Get me out!
- Alex Danvers: Hey, it's okay. Just breathe. I'm here. Mercy fired kryptonite into the air.
- Supergirl: God, I can't breathe. I can't breathe.
- Alex Danvers: No, no. Hey, look at me. You're fine. This suit is keeping you alive. Okay, so just breathe.
- Supergirl: [calming down] I'm okay. Tell me everything.
- Alex Danvers: You've been drafted.
- Supergirl: Wait, what? Isn't there still kryptonite in the air? I thought you were doing things by the book.
- Alex Danvers: I was. But I really need you out there with me. I was scared. Of failing, of letting everybody down; I mean, the president, the country. So I thought the rules would protect me from screwing everything up.
- Supergirl: Mm, well, Danvers sisters have never really been big on rules.
- Alex Danvers: I know, and I forgot that for a minute. I'm sorry. The only way that we're gonna win this thing is if I trust my instincts and I trust yours. And you're right. The air isn't fully clear. So this is a risk. Do you think you can do it?
- Supergirl: I know I can.
- Alex Danvers: Then suit up.
- Supergirl: [indicating she already is] No choice.
- Kara Danvers: Hey, you okay?
- Alex Danvers: Oh, I've dealt with much worse than G.I. Jane coming to babysit me.
- Kara Danvers: Yeah, but she wouldn't be here if I had followed your orders.
- Alex Danvers: I'm sorry, where was this attitude six hours ago?
- Alex Danvers: You followed your instincts. And I followed mine, so there's no apologies. Being a leader means doing what needs to get done and taking the consequences. So, we did the right thing.
- Kara Danvers: Well, hell or high water, I've got your back.
- Alex Danvers: Mm. Hell or high water.
- Kara Danvers: [twisting around] Oh, speaking of, can you please scratch this one spot...
- Alex Danvers: Oh, absolutely not.
- Kara Danvers: I was in a full body cast.
- Alex Danvers: I know.
- Kara Danvers: [trying to scratch the itch] I can't... it's really bothering me.
- Alex Danvers: No.
- Kara Danvers: It's... ow!
- Supergirl: When can I take this off?
- Alex Danvers: When the air is 100% kryptonite-free.
- Supergirl: But I can't just sit here.
- Alex Danvers: This armor has the exact amount of energy to filter out the kryptonite from your system. If you use this to fight...
- Supergirl: But...
- Alex Danvers: But nothing. I know what I'm doing.
- Supergirl: And I don't?
- Alex Danvers: They're going for the precinct on Fourth Street. Echo Team, I want you on me. Kilo Team, you're behind us on overwatch. Let's go.
- Supergirl: I'm coming with you.
- Alex Danvers: The hell you are.
- Supergirl: I'm literally wearing armor.
- Alex Danvers: And I told you that that amor is using everything it's got to keep you safe. If you do anything else in it...
- Supergirl: I've fought at half capacity before. I can do this.
- Alex Danvers: There is a chain of command here.
- Supergirl: I know what I'm capable of, and you need my help.
- Alex Danvers: What I need is for you to do exactly what I say.
- Alex Danvers: I told you not to leave the premises.
- Supergirl: I saved someone's life.
- Alex Danvers: By jeopardizing your own.
- Supergirl: I'm a hero, Alex. I take risks.
- Alex Danvers: You are also an employee of the DEO.
- Supergirl: We've been working together for years. Why are you all of a sudden acting like this?
- Alex Danvers: Because I am the director now! Okay? So if someone gets hurt, that's on me. And if someone escapes and fills the air with kryptonite, that's on me! And if you had died...
- Supergirl: But I didn't die. A-A-And if it were you, you would've done the exact same thing. I'm not gonna stop using my own judgment.
- Alex Danvers: We have rules for a reason. Otherwise, this place would fall apart. So if you want to continue working with me, then you will obey orders. And as your commanding officer, this is your final warning.
- Supergirl: What's happening?
- Lena Luthor: The suit's taking too much damage, so power's being diverted to life support.
- Alex Danvers: I'll give you a jump. You're gonna wanna hold still.
- Supergirl: [Alex shoots the suit, which increases its power] Thanks for the charge.
- Otis Graves: [holding a gun to Supergirl's head] I call this move "the can opener".
- [Alex steps forward, raising her gun]
- Otis Graves: Ah, ah. There's still kryptonite in the air, right? So, uh, what happens if I pull the trigger?
- Alex Danvers: No, stop!
- Supergirl: Air check.
- Querl Dox: The atmosphere is 99% clear.
- Mercy Graves: Why are you protecting her? Why are you protecting any of them? Look at what they do.
- Alex Danvers: They aren't doing this. You are.
- Mercy Graves: People need to be afraid. Even if it means we have to sell it to them.
- Soldier: [in Kasnian] The air has cleared of Kryptonite.
- Kara Danvers: [her Harun-El double] May I get back to training now?
