Kelly Olsen
- Kelly Olsen: Jell-O really is the perfect hospital food. It's a metaphor for trauma. If you shake it, it wobbles, but it still holds its form. If you dig in too deep, it's never the same.
- Alex Danvers: You don't seem to be wobbling very much, given the circumstances. Military?
- Kelly Olsen: Psychologist, yeah.
- Alex Danvers: Mm.
- Kelly Olsen: I have pretty much seen it all. Plus, this is the... twelfth time that I have visited James in the hospital.
- Alex Danvers: Wow.
- Kelly Olsen: You know, my brother, he's always running off and diving into something dangerous. It was the way he coped when things got hard at home.
- Alex Danvers: If you just keep running, then you don't have to stop and feel how much you're hurting.
- Kara Danvers: [approaching] That sounds familiar.
- Dr. Kaplan: Mr. Olsen is stable. We were able to remove a significant amount of shrapnel from around his cervical vertebra, but I have never seen a normal bullet cause this much damage. We've placed him in a medically-induced coma.
- Alex Danvers: To reduce swelling, of course.
- Dr. Kaplan: There are going to be some decisions to make. Who is next of kin?
- Alex Danvers: Well, there's... there's no family present, but I can act as next of kin.
- Dr. Kaplan: We need a family member.
- Alex Danvers: Look, I'm FBI, and I have extensive medical training...
- Dr. Kaplan: Sorry, without a court order...
- Kelly Olsen: [approaching] I'm next of kin. Sorry, I just got off a red-eye. I'm Kelly Olsen, James' sister.
- Alex Danvers: How's he doing?
- Kelly Olsen: Still unconscious, but that means he's healing, so I'll take it.
- Alex Danvers: Thank you for giving us access. James means the world to us.
- Kelly Olsen: Of course. James has always been more of a "chosen family" kind of guy. Speaking of, where is your sister?
- [alarms beep and James starts to convulse]
- Kelly Olsen: We need help in here!
- Dr. Kaplan: Your brother's bleeding internally. Surgery poses a great risk to James' spinal cord, but if we don't operate, he'll continue to bleed out.
- Kelly Olsen: He might die?
- Dr. Kaplan: Correct.
- Kelly Olsen: Yeah, let's do the surgery.
- Dr. Kaplan: We'll prep him right away.
- Alex Danvers: Lena's working with the government on an experimental drug that could heal James entirely.
- Kelly Olsen: Okay. Why does that sound too good to be true?
- Alex Danvers: Because it's not ready yet. But I spoke to her, and she said that she just needs a few more hours to render the drug non-lethal.
- Kelly Olsen: You're proposing that we hold off on James' surgery, risking his life for hours, only to administer a drug that might still kill him?
- Alex Danvers: The operation is gonna be invasive, and it's gonna be traumatic to James' entire system. He will be lucky if paralysis is his only after-effect. You haven't seen Lena work. I have watched her do incredible and impossible things.
- Kelly Olsen: I understand that you trust this woman, but I don't know her. All I know is that she and James had a messy break-up, and that her family has done some terrible things, many of them to my brother.
- Alex Danvers: Those things have nothing to do with Lena.
- Kelly Olsen: That doesn't mean I'm willing to put my brother's life in her hands.
- Alex Danvers: I just want what's best for James.
- Kelly Olsen: So do I.
- Alex Danvers: I'm sorry about before. I was out of line.
- Kelly Olsen: You care about James. That's nothing to apologize for.
- Kelly Olsen: I picked the safe option. This isn't supposed to happen when you pick the safe option.
- Alex Danvers: Kelly, look, no one could've predicted that this was gonna happen. You made the best decision that you could for your brother, and Lena's drug wasn't ready then. But it's ready now.
- [seeing she's still reluctant]
- Alex Danvers: Now, look, I-I know you have a thousand reasons to not trust Lena Luthor, but I'm not asking you to trust her. I am asking that you trust me.
- Kelly Olsen: Let's do it.
- James Olsen: I only got shot once. You didn't have to come all this way.
- Kelly Olsen: Aw, you never invite me to visit. How else was I gonna meet your friends? They're pretty great, by the way. One of them even saved your life.
- James Olsen: Yeah, about that. Thank you.
- Lena Luthor: I'm just glad you're okay. Besides, Supergirl was the one that found you. You should be thanking her.
- Kelly Olsen: I know you just came back from the dead, but you're about to wish that you didn't, because I called mom.
- Kara Danvers: I think that's our cue.
- James Olsen: No, she... don't leave me alone. Guys.
