Alex Danvers
- [first lines]
- Alex Danvers: [top of CatCo building] You know, the last time I was on this rooftop, it was like an aerial junkyard. Shards of glass, rusty bikes, abandoned appliances.
- Kara Danvers: Apparently that was the last time anyone was up here, until yesterday.
- J'onn J'onzz: You mean you planted this garden by yourself in one day?
- Kara Danvers: Well, superspeed helps.
- Alex Danvers: It's nice to see you so happy, Kara.
- Kara Danvers: Well, the sun is shining, the... look, the Dar-Essa flower is even blooming. What is there to be upset about?
- Alex Danvers: Um, Haley starts working full-time at the DEO tomorrow.
- Kara Danvers: Got it. That's... that's a good reason.
- Querl Dox: One of my superior capabilities is recovering from alcohol libation with remarkable speed. Are there any scones left?
- [noticing Nia]
- Querl Dox: Nia Nal!
- Kara Danvers: You two know each other?
- Nia Nal: Well, we met once at a pizza place. You know, you never found me.
- Querl Dox: But of course I did. Your address is 775 Gladiola Drive, second floor corner apartment. Your phone number is 555-8010. You stop at Bob's Diner every morning and order an extra super large coffee, milk. No sugar.
- Alex Danvers: Okay. Yes, that... he's not nearly as stalkery as that all just came out as.
- Nia Nal: Well, why didn't you call?
- Querl Dox: You told me to find you, not call you.
- Alex Danvers: Well, CatCo's newest addition. It's very nice to finally meet you.
- J'onn J'onzz: We've heard a lot about you.
- Nia Nal: All good things, I hope.
- Lena Luthor: Well, James said your passion for making the world a better place is matched only by the elegance of your prose, so...
- Nia Nal: I wish I could say I paid him, but I could not have made that up.
- Colonel Lauren Haley: I've noticed you reorganized the strike team command and control system.
- Alex Danvers: I did.
- Colonel Lauren Haley: Are you aware that system has been in place since the DEO's inception?
- Alex Danvers: Yes. But with all due respect, the system was outmoded. It used to take us 90 seconds to get out the door after first alert. And now by retasking two analysts...
- Colonel Lauren Haley: You cut out the middle man and reduced deployment time to 60 seconds, which could be the difference between life and death.
- Colonel Lauren Haley: Any sign of our traitor Agent Jensen?
- Alex Danvers: Not yet. But our facial recognition algorithm is scanning National City. So the moment Jensen shows his face, we'll get him.
- Colonel Lauren Haley: Keep up the good work.
- Querl Dox: It's Jensen. He's been located at the National City Promenade.
- Colonel Lauren Haley: This is your collar, Danvers. Go get him.
- Alex Danvers: [into her comms as she turns to leave] Supergirl, it's time to rumble.
- Colonel Lauren Haley: You neglected to inform me that Agent Jensen is not a human.
- Alex Danvers: He is. Well, he was. When Mercy and Otis broke into the DEO, they took with them a creature called Parasite. And once this parasite infects a host, which in this case was Jensen, the host has the ability to suck the life force out of whoever it touches.
- Colonel Lauren Haley: Leaving that person dead.
- Alex Danvers: And if it's an alien, absorbing their powers.
- Colonel Lauren Haley: We're very lucky he didn't have more contact with Supergirl.
- Alex Danvers: And we're lucky the host doesn't have the ability to retain the powers it absorbs. So, we'll try to get Jensen when he's at his weakest.
- Colonel Lauren Haley: And how do we do that?
- Alex Danvers: The last time, we overloaded his system with nuclear energy. Plutonium.
- Colonel Lauren Haley: I'll contact the Pentagon about gathering nuclear material.
- Alex Danvers: And I'll speak with Supergirl. This is one monster she can't fight.
- Colonel Lauren Haley: Very wise, Director Danvers.
- Alex Danvers: Hey, what are you doing? You should be resting.
- Supergirl: You know, when I made a toast to the sunshine, I didn't realize how apt that was. But I'm fully charged from the sunlamps, and I'm ready to get out there and take down Parasite.
- [seeing her face]
- Supergirl: I'm not going out there, am I?
- Alex Danvers: We both know the danger that Parasite poses.
- Supergirl: That he can kill me and get supercharged at the same time? Yes, I-I get it. But that doesn't mean I don't wanna go out there and fight him.
- Alex Danvers: I know you're frustrated by this.
- Supergirl: No, no. It's okay, Alex, since most people only have one way to fight for justice. But luckily, I have two.
- Alex Danvers: Power of the press.
- Supergirl: I'll write and file my article, but if there's any other situation, alien or otherwise...
- Alex Danvers: I know who to call.
- Colonel Lauren Haley: Plutonium is in short supply, but I found a store of uranium. It's en route. Uranium is less stable than plutonium. We run the risk of a bigger explosion. We need to get Jensen to an isolated area.
- Alex Danvers: Or we need to find a way to contain the explosion.
- Colonel Lauren Haley: Tell me what you're thinking.
- Alex Danvers: Well... an electrical force field could stop the radiation from the blast.
- Colonel Lauren Haley: Can you create one on the fly?
- Alex Danvers: An improvised ionic containment? That could work.
- Colonel Lauren Haley: Spherical, to get the optimal distribution of electrons.
- Alex Danvers: Like a dome. Yes, it's elegant.
- Colonel Lauren Haley: You need something of your own. Some sort of weapon.
- Alex Danvers: A proton pack.
- Colonel Lauren Haley: Perhaps as a blast gun.
- Alex Danvers: Agent Dox, is this something you can create?
- Querl Dox: Yes. Yes, I-I absolutely can. I-I can... I can use enforce field discs to link them together into a force field matrix. I can also outfit a gun to blast uranium...
- Colonel Lauren Haley: We get it. You're hired.
- [to Alex]
- Colonel Lauren Haley: We make a good team.
- Querl Dox: It was exhilarating to watch.
- J'onn J'onzz: Word has spread about Amadei's attack. There's a vigil forming outside his home.
- Alex Danvers: [entering with pizza in hand] All right, I've got pepperoni and mushroom.
- Kara Danvers: Alex, what are you doing here? What's going on with Jensen?
- Alex Danvers: Um... he's gone quiet. Which is unsettling, I know, but it gave me enough time to get some sustenance for you both. Kara texted me about what happend, and I'm sorry about your friend, J'onn.
- Kara Danvers: I made a tactical mistake in my reporting.
- Alex Danvers: What are you talking about?
- Kara Danvers: I was so certain Amadei was a great man. I published this glowing article making him out to be a saint. But if I dug a little deeper, I may have discovered how flawed he is.
- J'onn J'onzz: How would that information have changed anything, Kara?
- Kara Danvers: My portrait of him as immaculate may have put a target on his back. I always try to believe of the best in people, and so much of the time, it just seems to make things worse.
- Alex Danvers: Kara, I usually expect the worst in people, and... I mean, that's no better. I was convinced for sure that Haley was gonna be a monster, but instead she's been very reasonable and deeply supportive.
- Kara Danvers: Alex, the amulet. Elizabeth's mother stole it. She gave it to Jensen so he could keep the powers he's been taking.
- Alex Danvers: How did the mom even know?
- Kara Danvers: She found it on the Dark Web. A group called Children of Liberty?
- Querl Dox: An alien-absorbing human with an agenda to kill as many aliens as possible, and absorb as many powers as possible, thereby making himself invincible. I believe the most logical place for him to show up next would be...
- Alex Danvers: Amadei's vigil.
- Kara Danvers: [glancing at J'onn] We're on our way.
- Kara Danvers: Alex, we're here. I don't see Jensen. But there's some sort of disturbance.
- Alex Danvers: All right, I can see a purple glow. Jensen's somewhere in the middle of the black. All right, agents, get into position.
- Colonel Lauren Haley: All right, team. I need your heads up and low profile. We don't want a riot. Now, if you see Jensen, skin-to-skin contact can be fatal, so do not engage. You leave that to Director Danvers.
- Alex Danvers: Ready, Colonel?
- Colonel Lauren Haley: Activate the dome.
- Querl Dox: Enter the matrix.
- Alex Danvers: All right, boys, let's find him.
- Alex Danvers: Brainy, I need you to open a gap in the dome away from Jensen. I gotta get these civilians evacuated.
- Colonel Lauren Haley: Negative. Danvers, you need to focus on the target.
- Alex Danvers: I am. Supergirl will get 'em out.
- Kara Danvers: [getting into superhero mode] On it.
- Alex Danvers: Agent Jensen! There's no way out of here for you.
- Jensen: Shoot me.
- Alex Danvers: If I shoot you, Raymond, then everybody in here dies, including you. And I know you don't want that.
- Jensen: I want to make this country safe.
- Alex Danvers: You're not making anything safer by doing this. I mean, look at everybody. Look how scared they are. And it's not just aliens, Raymond.
- Querl Dox: Thirty seconds.
- Alex Danvers: It's humans, too.
- Colonel Lauren Haley: Danvers, terminate him.
- Alex Danvers: Look, I know when the president revealed herself as an alien, you got scared. A lot of people did. But don't let that fear define who you are.
- Querl Dox: Twenty seconds.
- Alex Danvers: I still see that agent that I wanted to mentor. I still see that agent that I was proud to call my colleague. I still see that good man. He's scared, but he's still in there.
- Querl Dox: Ten seconds.
- Colonel Lauren Haley: Shoot him, Danvers. That is an order.
- Alex Danvers: Surrender now, and you will save everybody in here. Be the hero that I know you are.
- Jensen: Even if I give up, he's still out there.
- Alex Danvers: Who's "he"?
- Colonel Lauren Haley: You did good work today. But the next time I give you orders, I expect for you to follow them.
- Alex Danvers: Yes, ma'am.
- Colonel Lauren Haley: Still, I have to say, it's much better to have you in charge than that imposter, J'onn J'onzz.
- Alex Danvers: Excuse me?
- Colonel Lauren Haley: When we at the White House learned about your former director's true identity, I recommended his removal. He was trying to erode the DEO's mission. Employing aliens instead of catching them, all the while pretending to be someone he's not. I am glad order's been restored, and we're heading towards more civil, honest times.
- Alex Danvers: J'onn J'onzz is the one who recruited me, promoted me, and taught me everything that I know. He's my family. And he is the best director this organization has ever seen.
- Colonel Lauren Haley: J'onzz set a bad precedent. But we will set things right. From now on, we are strictly by-the-book, which means we are going to act according to rank, and let's be clear about yours. Now, you might run this place, but I am your superior officer. You report to me. Understood?
- Alex Danvers: Understood.
- Colonel Lauren Haley: [Alex turns to leave] Director Danvers, when you exit, you salute your ranking officer.
- Alex Danvers: [saluting] Yes, ma'am.
- Colonel Lauren Haley: [returning the salute] We'll work on that. I still believe there's hope for you yet.
