Mon-El quotes from Supergirl

Mon-El

Winn, hey, I heard you fixed it (the Legion cruiser). How did you–

Winn

I... I mean, I, I assisted.

That was a little more than an assist. He reset Morran math, the chronorunner and time measurement system on a scale of twelve instead of ten.

Winn

Yes, sort of how in America, we use inches instead of the metric system. They must have switched over before this here battery was invented, which actually, you know, gives me hope for America.

Mon-El

So we were overloading the fuel cells.

Winn

Bingo.

Mon-El

Thanks, Winn.

Winn

I mean, if you really want to thank me, you could, uh... let me take this out for a test drive. Just sayin'.

Mon-El

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

Kara

For what?

Mon-El

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.

Mon-El

Yes, of course.

Kara

Are you okay?

Mon-El

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.

Mon-El

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

Kara

Feels like garbage.

Winn

I have done something amazing.

Kara

Did you find Pestilence?

Winn

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

Mon-El

What?

Winn

I have fixed your old suit.

Mon-El

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

Winn

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

Kara

Yes.

Winn

[to Mon-El] Suit up.

Kara

[upon seeing Mon-El in costume] Wow.

Mon-El

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....

Mon-El

We've come a long way.

Alex

[drawing her gun] Hey! Stop right there.

Mon-El

Whoa. Whoa, whoa, whoa. Guys, it's Brainy.

Brainy

Oh, of course. I'm wearing a personal image inducer. [touches his forehead, regains his alien appearance] I had to purchase some apple cider vinegar and I nearly caused a riot at the Piggly Wiggly.

Kara

Huh.

Brainy

[resuming his illusory disguise] I thought this would, uh... help me fit in better.

Winn

[walking in] Hey, guys. I just got word from City H-- [sees the disguised Brainy] .... Hi, Brainy

Kara

Wait, you-you recognize him?

Winn

Yeah. What, is that an image inducer? Eh? Ah, so our brains just think we're seeing a human, but nooo. Hey, can I borrow that for Halloween?

Mon-El

We took an oath when we formed the Legion: to preserve all that is good and to never harm the innocent. How is this mission in line with that? We should not kill Pestilence. [off Brainy's look] And you're obviously on Imra's side..

Brainy

It's not about picking sides, Mon-El. If we kill Pestilence when we find her, there is a 98.459 percent chance the Blight will never happen. Millions of people will be saved. Now, if we try to rescue the person inside of her in order to defeat her, that chance is reduced to 52.744 percent.

Mon-El

Some decisions can't be made with a math equation.

Mon-El

You okay?

Kara

Yeah. Just thinking how ironic this is. Donning disguises across the solar system seems to be my karma.

Mon-El

It's necessary for survival.

Kara

So is Kara Danvers. Just wish my day-to-day life didn't have to have a disguise. It's exhausting.

Mon-El

In the future, I just live in the open. All Legionnaires do. There's no secret identities, no disguises. 24/7, I'm just... me, Mon-El from the Legion of Super-Heroes. And it's still exhausting.

Kara

What we do, the responsibilities we have, there's always a trade-off, isn't there?

Argo was spared the fate of the rest of Krypton. But what value is our civilization if we don't use our stolen time to right the sins of the past? We must set an example for future generations, or else our survival means nothing. [hands Kara a fragment of the Urrica rock]

Kara

Thank you

May Rao's light shine upon you.

Mon-El

It was a pleasure meeting you. I'm very fond of your daughter, as are many others on Earth and across time. You should be very proud of what she's become.

I am. [to Kara] It's amazing that something so small and unremarkable can hold the key to so much survival.

Mon-El

Why are you smiling?

Kara

It just feels amazing to be normal. I'm actually relieved I can't fly. No one to save. Do you hear that undetectable sound in the distance?

Mon-El

No.

Kara

Exactly.

Winn

I thought you were gonna call the Legion and go straight back to the future.

Mon-El

[hesitantly] Uh... yeah. Yeah, I was, but then, uh, the time beacon broke and, and Kara ran into some troubles, so I, uh... I decided to stay back to...

Winn

Uh huh. Always the he-ro.

Mon-El

.... I lost her once, Winn. I'm not sure if I could do it again.

Winn

[lowered voice] Wow, really? Dude. Dude, forget Reign. You need to get back here fast so we can get a drink.

Brainy

Killing Pestilence saved the future from the Blight. Millions of people were spared. Including my... extremely distant relative. The Evil One. Who has created a plague to wipe out all AIs other than himself. In short, all AIs are in danger, and I can no longer stay there. The future needs heroes. The future needs leaders.

Mon-El

The future has leaders.

Brainy

The future needs you, Mon-El. To fight. And it needs Winn to take my place in the Legion and save the AIs.

Mon-El

Well, you did it. Just like a Greek myth. You went down into the underworld and slayed the three-headed monster and saved Persephone.

Kara

Uh, I think in the myth, Persephone eats pomegranate seeds and is confined to the realm of Hades forever.

Mon-El

Yeah, well, that just strengthens my point, because the Greek gods have nothing on you.
