Dinah, Barbara and others in “Premiere”

So, um, what does this thing do exactly?

This machine will tell me if there's any biological evidence of the abilities. In other words, if you're metahuman.

Meta... what?

In most people, less than 5% percent of neural cells are active. Your cerebral cortex activity is... [Surprised] over 50%.

So it's true. I'm officially a FREAK.

Hey, watch it with the f-word.

There are people in the world, Dinah a lot of people, with abilities beyond what we think of as human. No two metahumans have the same gifts. Don't ask me where the powers come from, no one knows. Natural mutations, biological experiments...

There's been weird stuff with meteor showers.

The point is, you're one of a long line of people who had to hide what they are.

So I'm like you?

Uh, like Helena, technically. I'm not metahuman.

But you're both heroes and you save people.

Right.

[Grins] I wanna join!

[At the same time] WHAT?!

[Mocking] SORRY, we don't have an opening for Junior Supergirl!

You can't stay here, you have to go home.

...Do you think I'd get on a bus and come to a city where I didn't know a soul, with no money and no job... if I had a place to go back to? I mean, I came to New Gotham looking for something, and I didn't even know what it was, but now I DO!
