[Young Kara and her friend Kenny Lee are stargazing.]

KLKenny Lee

[looking up at the stars] Somewhere, past all that darkness, there're whole other worlds. Can you imagine?

Young Kara

[knowing tone] Yeah.

KKenny

What do you think is up there?

Young Kara

I bet it's still just people. Families and... They're staring at the stars above them wondering the same thing about us. It's a beautiful view.

KKenny

[his gaze fixed on Kara] It is.

[Kara catches Kenny's eye and they look at one another. Kenny leans in to kiss Kara. She also leans forward to accept, but turns her head demurely at the last second.]

Young Kara

I... I really like your telescope.

KKenny

[laughs awkwardly] Yeah. You'd be surprised what this thing sees.

Young Kara

You know, you're the only person in Midvale who doesn't make me feel like I'm... like I shouldn't be here.

KKenny

I'm glad you're my friend.

Young Kara

[playfully shoulder-butts Kenny] You, too.

[Young Kara sneaks into her bedroom after her time with Kenny, only to find Alex awake in the other bed.]

Where were you?

Young Kara

None of your business.

It is if I'm the one who would get in trouble for whatever dumb thing you were doing.

Young Kara

I am so sick and tired of you blaming me for every bad thing that's happened to you.

Really? Because my mom wasn't constantly on my ass before you came along. I didn't have to act like some Earthly ambassador to the teenage underworld before you came along, and I'm pretty sure my dad wasn't gone before you came along.

Young Kara

How is that my fault?

Before you crashed in that pod, I had a great life. With two great parents. Now all I have is you. And you are not worth it.

[The young Danvers sisters are examining Kenny's laptop for clues to his murder.]

Young Kara

This thing looks water-damaged.

After being outside all night, I can't believe it's even on.

Young Kara

Um, Clark has a friend named Chloe who might be able to help. She really loves weird tech stuff like this. She even has this whole wall of weird.

Okay, I have no idea what any of that means, but send her a zip drive of everything we find.

Kenny saw you.

SCSheriff Collins

Should've kept that telescope up in the sky. He was such a smart kid, good kid.

He was my friend.

CCollins

Look, I didn't want to hurt him.

What did you want?

CCollins

Little compensation, maybe. Get paid like a dog protecting spoiled rich folks. Drugs come over the border from Canada, hardly even hiding, must think I'm a joke. And the government wants me to burn it. Why not get a little something back for myself? That's all.

Yeah, real heartbreaking. You're a scumbag who kills kids to cover his own ass. You're pathetic!

CCollins

You're real brave. Not even screaming. Not that anyone could hear you.

Someone's listening right now. Someone who can hear every single word you say. Every time you breathe. Can you feel it? She's coming. [shouts] Here! I'm down here!

[Kara breaks through the wall, knocking Collins unconscious and hugs Alex]

Young Kara

Are you okay?

Duh, I knew you would come.

[Mon-El wakes up in a containment cell, with Kara standing outside.]

Kara

I don't understand. I want to give you the benefit of the doubt, but... you attacked two agents. [emotional] Was... were you confused by the hypersleep? Is that why you snuck out of the med-bay, broke into a secure storage room, and almost killed two people?

I didn't almost kill anyone.

Kara

Is it not you?

It's me.

Kara

[on the verge of tears] Then make me believe it. Please? .... You know, I don't sleep anymore? I lay awake at night just staring at the ceiling, because if I close my eyes, I dream about you dying. I see you... disappearing into the... blackness of space forever.... This was all I wanted. This. And when I saw you on that ship, oh my God, I felt like I could hope again. I could touch you and see you and hear you and be with you, finally. But... you're... you're different. And I....

[Mon-El just sits silently.]

Kara

You have nothing to say?.... nothing?

I'm sorry.

Kara

[now more collected] Shame on me for having a human heart. [leaves]

Look, Imra... she feels really bad that she upset you. That wasn't, that was not her intention.

Kara

Oh, no, she didn't do anything wrong. She was very kind and, uh, generous. And you know, she's smart and beautiful, and even though she looks like a Greek goddess, I can't find any reason to hate her. But am I okay with this?.... No.

Kara,--

Kara

No, stop. Please, Mon-El, I... I see this very clearly for what it is. We're just three good people stuck in a really crappy situation. But, you know what? At least two of us still get to be happy. [walks away, then turns around, barely containing herself] And just for the record, Mon-El, I really am trying to be okay with this, but.... this is... this is worse than... the worst thing that I could possibly imagine, and that's you... looking at me with no love in your eyes. So please, just... please. [walks off]

I was really worried about you. When you didn't wake up. I still care about you.

Kara

I know.

[walks off, then turns back] It's great fighting with you again.

Kara

Yeah.

I missed that. [walks back into the infirmary]

[Brainy walks by.]

Kara

Hey! It's you. Are you shorter?

Are you suggesting that I augmented my height when I entered your consciousness, so that you might see me as a more stable and trustworthy figure and therefore work with me to help you?

Kara

... uh, Yeah?

Yes. I did do exactly that. [Kara laughs] It's nice to meet you in real life. [walks off]

Well, I'm... I mean, I'm not doing anything. So I'm happy to have Ruby here with me.

No, I couldn't ask you. Look at your leg.

Come on, Mom, let me stay with Alex. At the Christmas party, she promised to teach me how to punch without breaking my thumb.

Full disclosure: I am not a good babysitter.

Kara

Yeah. You should listen to her 'cause one time, she made me watch The Shining, and I had nightmares for weeks.

Um, okay, she was fifteen --

Kara

So?

So... you were the one who wanted to watch it.

LLivewire

So this Reign character. We're getting information so we can kill her?

Kara

No. Of course not. The priestess will have information that I could use to get through to her.

LLivewire

What?! You and your Pollyanna B.S. You think you're gonna get through to Reign.

Kara

I got through to you. There must be something good in you that I could trust to come with me.

LLivewire

I came with you because there's a maniac on the loose and I wanna take her down. If you think I wouldn't fry you right now,--

Kara

So do it.

[They stare each other down.]

LLivewire

All I'm saying is somebody as evil as Reign deserves to die.

Kara

And anyone else who thinks otherwise is just a sucker?

LLivewire

Now you're catching on.

Kara

Can you tell me about Reign?

JKJindah Kol Rozz

She will destroy you.

Kara

I've heard otherwise.

JKJindah Kol Rozz

You know nothing of the nature of destruction. You are a child, living in light. But there is darkness in all things. In every soul you know. Who will it take?

Kara

No one. If I have anything to say about it.

JKJindah Kol Rozz

Oh. You fly too close to the sun. I have languished in pain for time beyond reason because of you. The children of light. But your pretty skin will soon be brittle scales in hellfire when the others awake and unite beneath the standard of Reign.

Kara

Others? What do you mean "Others"?

JKJindah Kol Rozz

Worldkillers. The Power! The Pustulence! The Purity!

Kara

Alex, wait, listen to me. I am used to you being pragmatic, but since when have you become so hard and cynical?

Well, not all of us are bulletproof, Kara!

Kara

I know.

So cynicism... that's what's keeping the rest of us alive.

Kara

Seems like it's killing you. My sister, the sister I know, she has compassion for others.

Hey, I, uh... I owe you an apology.

Kara

For what?

When we were together, I never really got... how it must have been for you to find out that I had been lying. About being Daxxam's prince, about a lot of stuff. And I am sorry that I did that to you.

Kara

I do really appreciate you saying that.

Yes, of course.

Kara

Are you okay?

Uh, yeah, Imra... Imra lied to me. About, um,... about something big. With Legion business. And Brainy was in on it, too.

Kara

Oh. Wow.

Yeah. When your wife conspires with your best friend, it–

Kara

Feels like garbage.

MSMary Schott

Sorry about the mess.

Kara

Oh, this? This is... that's not your fault

MMary

Can I ask, uh, when it comes to your day-to-day, on a scale of one to ten... how big of a pain in the ass are flying monkeys?

Kara

Maybe a two.

I have done something amazing.

Kara

Did you find Pestilence?

I have done... something okay. [to Mon-El] You. Come here.

What?

I have fixed your old suit.

Winn. [hugs Winn, lifting him off the ground]

[to Kara] Hey, can I say it? Can I say it? Please?

Kara

Yes.

[to Mon-El] Suit up.

Kara

[upon seeing Mon-El in costume] Wow.

You always said I cleaned up nicely. It's just like old times, huh? Training again?

Kara

Except I basically had to twist your arm to train. You had no interest in being a hero. And now....

We've come a long way.
