You're supposed to be at the sanitation department, getting figures on pelican deaths at the trash dump.
KaraI'm so excited about that, but I just overheard a report about a murdered alien on my NCPD scanner. They're calling it "alien on alien violence."
An alien got killed. An alien did it. Where's the story?
Kara
I... I just told you the story.
Really? So you got an actual NCPD source to speak on the record? Did you talk to the victim's family? Set up an interview with the DA's office to see if and when charges will be filed? Where's the medical examiner's report? Did you research economic and demographic indicators of vice in context of human-alien race relations?
Kara
All very good questions... Uh...
You didn't give me a story, you gave me a half-baked idea. Go bake it fully, then I'll talk to you. [Kara shakes her head exasperatedly] Go! Bake, bake, bake!
Kara
Eve, have you met our new intern?
[Mon-El hands Eve a coffee]
Kara
[cutting him off] No, Mike, you don't need to give her your social security number.
So, I memorized that fake ID for nothing?
Kara
You mean your real ID?
[Kara hears with her superhearing sex moans]
Do you mean like a sword?
Kara
Ewww, God, get it out of my ears!
When you first arrived at our house, I thought "Finally, I have a sister".
Kara
An alien sister.
Even better. But I still wanted you to be just like me, to do everything I did. So I dragged you out to science fairs.
Kara
Those were so boring.
Made you watch scary movies.
Kara
What do you have against a good old romantic comedy?
Forced you to listen to the music that I liked.
Kara
Yeah, your punk rock phase was very strange.
But, finally, I let it go, let you do your own thing, find your own hobbies, listen to your own weird music.
Kara
Weird? NSYNC, first of all, is not weird, and second of all, they are amazing.
Mon-El is not you, just like you're not me. So what works for you might not work for him. You know, people just have to... we have to figure out what works for them, know who they are inside, what they're meant to be.
Kara
So you're saying the job and sweater and the glasses are a bit too much?
Not everyone can rock argyle like you do.
[Both Kara Danvers and Supergirl have been invited to the gala]
Okay, so the moan particle detector will let us know if there are any weapons within a hundred feet.
Kara
Are you sure?
Have I ever been wrong before? [Kara gives him a pointed look] Okay, this time I am sure.
Kara
I see Lena. Commence Operation Doubtfire.
Kara
[drunkenly] Hey... Hey, you look like my sister.
Are you slurring your words?
Kara
Am I? [slowly] Cho-co-late. Cho-co-late.
Wow, Kara Danvers drunk. That... that's a first. Hey... wow... hey, have you seen– [looks around and sees Maggie at the pool table] You know... I'm driving you home.
Kara
I'm not flying. That's for sure.
You've been weird ever since I told you.
Kara
I don't mean to be.
Kara, I know when you're sad, or when you're disappointed. I don't know what I would do if you were disappointed in me.
Kara
I would never be disappointed in you, but you said you didn't want to talk about it anymore.
Well, I do. If... if you're not okay with it...
Kara
I'm SO okay with it! Sit down. Alex, come and talk with me. [Alex sits] I think I owe you an apology.
Kara
For not creating an environment where you felt that you could talk about this with me. All those years we spent together growing up, the endless nights talking and sharing, now I realize that they were all about me and my secret. There's never been room for you, and that's my fault. And I'm so sorry.
You didn't do anything wrong.
Kara
And I know... I know that this is not the same at all, but I do know how it feels to keep a part of yourself shut off, to keep it inside. And I know how lonely that can make you feel. But Alex, you are not alone.
I can't do this without you.
Kara
You don't have to. So what about Maggie? What's she like?
I... I just like her so much. You know, she's smart and she's tough and she's just beautiful. She's so beautiful.
Kara
So are you.
[The Danvers sisters hug, Alex gets a message on her phone]
D.E.O.'s reporting an alien attacking civilians in an alleyway downtown.
Kara
I'll go get the alien. You get the girl.
[joins Kara on the balcony] I like this view much better than the stalactites of our last office. Here, the lives we are charged to protect are always in view.
Kara
Kind of reminds me of the view from my room on Krypton. I could see the whole city from that window. All the lights, pods zooming by. But then again, I guess I didn't truly see anything. All my life, I thought my parents were the good guys. And now the more I learn, the more I see things, how they really are. And more... that I'm ashamed to be their daughter.
Kara, your parents tried to protect the planet, they tried to save lives.
Kara
I'm sure Lex and Lillian Luthor thought their intentions were good, too. Is this their legacy? Death and destruction across the universe?
Your parents' legacy is not death and destruction, Kara Zor-El. It's you.
[Barry and Cisco appear through a dimensional breach in Kara's apartment.]
CRCisco Ramon
This better be the right place. 'Cause if this isn't the right place, someone's about to be real confused.
[Kara comes in the front door.]
Kara
Barry!
Kara
I knew it. I knew that was you. I knew that it was you and that weird space portal thing! [hugs Barry] Hi.
Yeah. I'm sorry. It took a couple tries to get here. This is my friend Cisco.
CCisco
Well, "friend" is a loose term. We work together. Hi. I have to say it, this is a nice universe you got here.
Kara
Thank you.
Okay, do you remember last year, when I helped you out and you promised to do the same for me?
Kara
What are we up against?
Story continues in Invasion! (Arrowverse).
So we're stuck on the most dangerous planet in the galaxy, we don't have our powers, and you're optimistic how?
Kara
Because they (the kidnapped humans) need us to be.
See, this is what I've been telling you, Kara. You know, if you go looking for trouble, you will always find it. You do. You're, like,... you're, like, the winner at it.
Kara
'Cause that's what heroes do. They fight. They don't sit and hide in a bar because it's easier than getting involved.
I am not hiding. I'm being smart. It's a dangerous universe. And why do you have to be the one who saves everyone every time?
Kara
Because our worlds may have been destroyed, but we were spared for a reason.
Kara
I refuse to believe that. I believe you keep fighting. Whether you're stuck on another world. whether or not you have your powers, you never give in. It's the difference between you and me.
Kara
I know that you want me to follow my head. But I would rather be wrong about a dozen leads than not follow the ones I believe in. That's the kind of reporter I wanna be. I'm always going to follow my heart.
Kara
Have a great day, Chief.
[Kara leaves Snapper's office.]
[smiling, sotto voce] Atta girl, Danvers.
Kara
I... I am... I'm losing my mind right now. Livewire's just out there right now roaming the streets, and I don't know where she is or when she'll strike. I just know... she's out there somewhere and she's gonna hurt people.
The city's not defenseless, Kara.
Kara
I hate having a nemesis. Clark always makes it look so much fun, like... like you have a deadly pen pal you see once a year. But having a nemesis is stressful.
[Kara and a White Martian impersonating Alex are trading punches.]
WMWhite Martian
Well, to tell you the truth, I'm glad they found your sister. It is so exhausting pretending to care about your silly little feelings.
Kara
If you hurt her–
WMWhite Martian
You'll what? Whine at me?
