[Barry Allen is explaining to the others about the multiverse and how he arrived.]
BABarry Allen
[drawing circles on a whiteboard] All right. So imagine there are multiple versions of Earth. One where, uh... the Nazis won World War II , one where Kennedy was never assassinated...
Winn[raising a hand like he's in a classroom] Okay, one where all of us are evil.
Been there. It sucks. So all of these Earths occupy the same place in space, but they vibrate at a different frequency, so they can't see one another.
Winn
Yeah, yeah, but it's like, if you can go fast enough, then it's possible to open, like, a breach and then travel between worlds.
But how could you travel that fast?
[Barry races out of the room at super-speed, then returns seconds later, giving each of them an ice cream cone.]
Yeah. So, um... I was struck by lightning the same night a particle accelerator exploded, and I became a... superhero.
[Kara giggles, impressed and a little smitten.]
So, so, so... y-you're a superhero, too.
[subdued] Tha-that's cool, I guess.
Here we are. Once again doing everything we can to help Kara, to keep her safe. Do you know the... the last time I went on a date? [whispers] Two years ago. You date more often than I do.
Winn
Rude. You ever spend time inside a foster home?
Winn
Yeah, well, I have. After my father went to prison. And I gotta say, it is nothing but being told how grateful you should be that someone is taking care of you. Dude, that's not family. Family is not about scorekeeping or who did more. It's just about showing up. So just chill with the attitude, okay?
So what do you guys do for fun around here? You drink, or dance, or... Oh, hey, do they play garrata here?
It's like soccer. With dragons.
Winn
No. Not that. Uh, we have... PlayStation...
Great. So when do we get outta here and do that... that thing you just said?
[Winn walks in as James is bandaging his ribs]
Winn
I thought male corsets went out of style in the late 1800's.
Nah, I was just, um... I was shooting some hoops last night and hurt some ribs.
Winn
[touches him in the ribs] You're a terrible liar, Olsen. So I hacked into this security footage taken at the Federal Reserve that got attacked last night. The same place I told you about yesterday. [shows James his image from the footage] Great disguise by the way. What were you thinking?
Winn
Well, then, enlighten me! Because all I see here is a crazy dude with a baseball bat and a ski mask and a death wish.
My whole life, I have been a sidekick. I have hidden behind my camera. All my best friends wear capes and they're heroes and they save people, and I want to do something good for the world, and I feel like I've waited too long already. Winn, you found the work you're supposed to do at the D.E.O. I haven't, not here. But I feel like this is it.
Winn
I hate to break it to you, dude, but you don't have superpowers.
I know! But I can do this. We can do this.
Winn
I'm sorry, "we"?
Yes, "we". I mean, I have a black belt and you're right, I don't have powers. You can make me a suit, you can build me a weapon, and together we can level the playing field. C'mon.
Winn
No, no, no, I can't do it.
Winn
There's a difference! She can fly, you're just tall.
You know, watching my dad's camera get destroyed reminded me of something. He gave his life protecting this country, and if I do this, I can honor him.
Winn
Or you can end up just like him.
Winn, I'm gonna continue being that crazy guy with the baseball bat and the ski mask... with or without you.
Winn
James, guys like us, we are here to give people information, right? To fight with knowledge. There is no shame in that man! You gotta think this, through. You're gonna get yourself killed.
[Both Kara Danvers and Supergirl have been invited to the gala]
Winn
Okay, so the moan particle detector will let us know if there are any weapons within a hundred feet.
Winn
Have I ever been wrong before? [Kara gives him a pointed look] Okay, this time I am sure.
I see Lena. Commence Operation Doubtfire.
Winn
So what, are you out of your mind? Like, what's going on?
Are you? Kara almost died, Winn!
Winn
You think that I don't know that? I– get out of here.
Look, I'm sorry, okay? I know I don't hold the copyright on caring for Kara, but we're out of time, man! I need this suit now!
Winn
When it's ready, I will let you know.
Winn
Are you serious? No, no. I'm not taking orders from you.
Winn
Dude, I'm not your assistant, I'm not the IT guy. I'm the guy who knows what he's talking about!
Winn
In fact, I'm better at this kind of stuff than anyone else you'll ever meet! And until I finish making it all fancy, it's just gonna be a glorified Halloween costume. So when I tell you the suit is not ready, that means if you go out there right now, you're gonna die. You will die. And then what? You– you're not gonna be helping anyone.
Winn
Hey, before you open it, I need you to make sure you are sure, alright? This will be the end of James Olsen. Full stop. You do this, you are someone else. There's a cost. Are you sure?
I have been ready to do this since the day I found out the truth about Clark Kent. This is who I am. I can't hide behind my camera anymore. If there's a cost, I'll pay it.
Winn
That's a pretty good answer.
Winn
I am very excited to meet Alex's new mystery man.
Hey, do we know what he does for a living? Alex's guy?
Winn
Yeah, no way Alex Danvers dates someone who doesn't own a firearm.
[Alex and Maggie arrive]
Hey, you guys. Hey, um, you all remember Maggie, right?
[after comprehending that Alex and Maggie are dating] Hey, yeah, good to see you again.
Winn
Alex! I... I didn't know. [points at Hank] Did you know?
Of course I knew. I'm psychic.
How come you never said anything before?
It's not for me to say. Good for you, Alex.
[cleaning James' wounds] You're lucky you didn't take a direct hit.
I had my shield. I love that shield. [Kara gives him a pointed look] And I know what I'm doing, Kara.
Even if Metallo is weakening though, he's still a fanatic follower of Lillian Luthor. We have to find out where he's taking Lena and how to help her.
What is it gonna take for you to realize that Lena is a criminal? She's not the victim. She got the kryptonite, he broke her out of prison.
Lena is not a member of Cadmus! She's not! She stopped the game with alien weapons, she saved Alex's life when Corben tried to kill her.
She shot Corben and then her crazy Mom turned Corben into Metallo, so that could've been the plan the entire time.
We have to start treating Lena Luthor like a hostile. The evidence is too overwhelming.
Winn? If you watch that video, I know you'll find something.
Winn
I did, it's... it's clean.
Then find something to prove her innocent.
Everything we've seen so far says the exact opposite.
Well, she's my friend, and I believe in her. [leaves room]
[follows Kara out the room] I'm your friend. Which is why I don't understand why it's so hard for you to believe me. People don't remember this, Kara, but Clark and Lex Luthor used to be best friends. For years. And Clark believed in Lex for the longest time. No matter what people said. No matter what kind of proof he saw with his own eyes. No. Lex was his friend. But Clark was wrong.
But they grew up in the same house, Kara. I don't understand why you keep defending her. And you have so much faith in her, but none in me as Guardian.
That's entirely different. I am trying to protect you.
I do not need your protection. I need your trust. You have mine. I don't understand why it's so hard for me to get yours.
[Winn is working on the computer]
Winn
You know, the backseat driving... not helping.
Sorry. Have you found anything yet?
Winn
I promise I will tell you. Haven't you ever heard the phrase "a watched pot never..." oh, woah wait a second, I might be simmering.
