S1 E15Unfinished Business

We do not have cork trees on Mars.

Mars? Wait, you're from Mars?

Of course.

Really? Wait, what's it like there?

It was, once, a place of great nobility. People lived simply, yet with joy. I long for that place.

What happened?

War. My family was killed. A very long time ago.

How did you recover? I mean, after that happened.

Faith. I believed, if my heart remained pure, H'ronmeer would provide for me. It was difficult, but I was strong. Like you.

H'ronmeer's, like, the God on Mars? [M'yrnn chuckles] Did he come through?

He brought me back my son.

You okay?

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

It's necessary for survival.

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

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.

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

I mean, well, there's still a chance that Supergirl can come back in time.

And if she doesn't?.... James, I don't know what to do.

What would Sam want you to do?

Sam wanted me to heal her.

No, not what Sam wanted you to do. What would Sam want you to do now, with the choice that you're presented with?

.... She'd choose Ruby. Over anything. Even her own life. She'd want me to protect her daughter.

It's a difficult choice. But it sounds like you have the answer.

I'm a - I'm a jerk.

Yeah.

I know what you're going through. I actually do. I had a very... complicated relationship with my dad. He actually tried to, um... to kill me, too, believe it or not. But you know, for the longest time... Dude, I was terrified that whatever made him what he was, like, that was inside of me, too. You know, that... evil.

I know what you mean. But you're not evil.

No. No, I'm not. Just a jerk.

SSelena

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]

Thank you

SSelena

May Rao's light shine upon you.

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.

AZAlura Zor-El

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

You know, when you first approached me about working at the D.E.O., I was failing med school, I was drunk, and I was completely lost. But you, J'onn, you gave me purpose. You know, something to stand up for, something to devote my life for. But today, I risked my life for it. You know, I jumped straight across without hesitating, without even thinking. And to be honest, I mean that wasn't even the tallest building I've jumped off of in the line of duty.

You are someone who makes the hard choices, Alex. You go the extra mile.

Yeah. Exactly. And that's who I am. It's just... baked into me. You know, jumping buildings, making enemies, that's all part of the job. But the irony here is, is that the thing I had to do to save myself is the very same thing that could've killed me. I mean, one more inch... and I would've died. And then, where would she be? [nods towards Ruby] I broke up with Maggie because I wanted to be a mother. And one day, I will be. You know, whether I'm with somebody or if I'm doing it by myself. I know that's what I want. And I know that that is who I am. Just like I know that I'm the person that's gonna jump the buildings to stop the bad guy. And I... I keep wondering, I mean, can those two people co-exist? And is that fair? Is it fair to the person that I'm coming home to?

You may be the person who jumps the building to stop the bad guy, but you're also one of the most intelligent and intuitive women I know. You are an incredible agent and I know you're going to be an incredible mother. So when the time is right, I know you'll make the choice that's right for you.

[The Reign essence has seemingly been expelled from Sam's body.]

Sam? Can you hear me?

SSam

[weakly] Hi, Lena.... Do you have some aspirin?

I'm really gonna miss you guys. This world was so foreign and terrifying, but over the years I've learned to feel safe here. It's been an honor protecting this planet and being protected by it. And I owe all of that to you.

Hear, hear.

[voice-over during montages of Supergirl's and Kara Danvers' farewell parties] You are my friends who understand me and make me laugh. You are my role models, who have built me into a leader and shown me what it means to find fulfillment in the work we do. This world has given me a family. In taking this chance to revisit my home, my first home, I'm bringing you all with me in my heart. And I'm at peace knowing you'll be holding down the fort here until I'm back. And this is not "Goodbye". It's "See you on the flip side." Or as we say on Krypton: "Kaoshuh" – "To be continued."

GGuardian

[playing with a basketball] Nothing. There's nothing going on.

[playing with a nerf gun] Nada. Not even a jaywalker.

GGuardian

How did Supergirl do this on quiet nights?

Yeah, she would stay home.

GGuardian

Ah, yeah, right. The luxury of super-hearing.

Why are you smiling?

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?

No.

Exactly.

People don't like the government keeping track of the guns they own.

I never really understood that argument. That someone's right to own an assault weapon is more important than someone's right to go to school safely.

I have a gun for self-defense. I have used it for self-defense.

[in disbelief] You're not telling me you're one of those people that thinks that having a gun makes everybody safer, right?

We disagree. But I can see your side, and hopefully you can see my side, too.

I'm open to listening.

Good, 'cause things get done when we listen to each other.

I came because I wished to see you again, Alex. To say goodbye.

[restrained] It's, uh... It's time.

You have brought me much joy in my time on your Earth, Alex. You and your friends have shown me strange and wonderful things. You know, you have a rare gift for intuiting the feelings of others. You would have made an excellent Green Martian. [Both J'onn and Alex become emotional.] Most of all, you have given me the great gift of witnessing your love for my son. Home is not a place. It is living among those who love and honor you. I can depart this world with peace, because I know my son is home.

[choking up] It has been a great honor getting to spend time with you, M'yrnn. And now I know where J'onn... gets his dignity... and his enormous heart. [hugs M'yrnn]

[Winn secretly activates his new personal force field and walks up to D.E.O. agent Deimos.]

Yo, Deimos. Punch me. [Deimos turns to look at Winn.] You heard me. Punch. Me.

DDeimos

[stands up] Finally.

Seriously? You're not even, really, gonna like ask?

[Deimos punches Winn, only for his fist to be stopped by the force field. Winn does a little victory spin.]

DDeimos

You know, that wasn't as satisfactory as I'd imagined. And I've imagined it.

How does it feel, my son, to now know all of the five hundred million moves on the Ok'ra'tohk board?

Enlightened, Father.

Just don't share them with your imaginary friend Zook.

[M'yrnn and J'onn recall memories from "Schott Though The Heart", "In Search of Lost Time" and "Wake Up".]

These are happy memories. They should make you happy.

And they do, Father. But they also remind me how much I'm going to miss you. Every memory that passes between us brings us closer to that eventuality.

By the end of this, you will not feel loss, J'onn. You will feel complete, I promise.

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

[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...

Uh huh. Always the he-ro.

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

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