S1 E15Unfinished Business

Kira, call Harrison Ford and tell him that I'm flattered, but once and for all, I do not date older men. Especially when they're married.

So, Mars... I have to ask, underneath it all, are you a little green man?

I'm a big green man, actually.

Ha! And how are you able to change form? Is it an enzyme or some other chemical catalyst your body secretes that allows you to reorganize your DNA? And how do you adjust for the change in body density? How does your respiratory system process the increased oxygen and nitrogen present in our air that...

[Hank laughs]

What? What is so funny?

Like mother, like daughter.

This doesn't look like victory to me. And all you doing is betraying her. I was with Astra in her final moments. We forgave each other, we paid respect to our blood bonds. She didn't want this.

Of course she did. It's what everyone wants, is it not? Peace on Earth. Goodwill towards men.

It's a lot less like Christmas out there and more like Dawn of the Dead.

So, what's your plan?

Hope.

You know what? I'm gonna go with the plan that has the bomb to kill the bad guys.

No bomb. No one dies.

You think I wanna do this? It's the only way to win.

What? What are we winning? Causing more chaos? More destruction? More lives lost? You hated me for months, because you thought I'd use my power indiscriminately, kill people with no regard for their lives. That is exactly the choice you're making with this bomb.That is exactly the choice you're making with this bomb.

Please tell me you've had enough analysis to know that she's right.

You were afraid of me. Now you're afraid of Non. I understand that fear. But we cannot let it drive our actions. Make another choice that honors your parents. And mine.

People of National City, this is Supergirl, and... I hope you can hear me. We have been attacked. Mothers and fathers, friends and neighbors, children, everyone, suddenly stopped by a force of evil as great as this world has ever known. Your attacker has sought to take your free will. Your individuality. Your spirit, everything that makes you who you are. When facing an attack like this, it's easy to feel hopeless. We retreat, we lose our strength, we lose ourselves. I know. I lost everything when I was young. When I first landed on this planet, I was sad and alone. But I found out that there is so much love in this world, out there for the taking. And you, the people of National City, you helped me. You let me be who I'm meant to be. You gave me back to myself. You made me stronger than I ever thought possible, and I love you for that. Now, in each and every one of you, there is a light, a spirit that cannot be snuffed out. That won't give up. I need your help again. I need you to hope. Hope... that you will remember that you can all be heroes. Hope... that when faced with an enemy determined to destroy your spirit, you will fight back and thrive. Hope... that those who once may have shunned you will, in a moment of crisis, come to your aid. Hope... that you will see again the faces of those you love. And perhaps even those you've lost.

Well, I'm just happy that you're safe and the three of us are back together.

Me, too.

But I think we should talk about that thing that happened, uh... right before Myriad struck.

The thing.

Yeah. The thing thing.

[realizing] The thing.

Hmm.

[understanding] Oh, this thing has nothing to do with me. All good. I got other things. [leaves]

I just... we both know what I'm up against, and I will save the Earth, I promise you that. I just don't know if I'll make it out alive. I didn't say the things that needed to be said when I left Krypton, and I wanted to make sure I said them now - just in case.

I was exactly where you are, Kara. And when I was, you told me to never give up.

I'm not giving up. But my mother didn't send me to Earth to fall in love with a human, have children, live in a house with a white picket fence. She sent me here to protect Kal-El. And now I will use my powers to protect the Earth. And if I die achieving that, I'm at peace with it. I'll join my mother. We'll be together in Rao's light.

[Kara receives a text message from her cousin on her computer.]

CClark

My hero.

Clarkǃ OMGǃ How are you feeling?

CClark

Oooǃ Is this what a hangover feels like?

You're asking the wrong girl.

CClark

Clearly you're made of much stronger stuff.

Only just figured that out?

CClark

Seriously. You saved the world, Kara. I couldn't be prouder.

[Cat has just promoted Kara and given her a new office.]

This is a step up for you, Kira. This is your "end-of-Working Girl-moment." And if you take advantage of it, I really believe that you can change the world. [turns and starts to leave]

Miss Grant? [Cat turns around.] The end of Working Girl always makes me cry.

Oh. Me, too. [makes a deep dramatic sigh] If you work hard, there might be a window in your future... Kara.

Where are we?

The Department of Extranormal Operations.

Wait. Wait, wait, wait. This has always been here? With the glass and the views and... and you made me fly into that cave every day?

D.E.O. has several facilities, Kara

A bat bit me in the last one.

Whiner.

Hey, sis.

You knew about this place, too?

Yeah. It's, like, a block from my apartment. It's kinda like the old place. Maybe better.

[Supergirl and Superman have just saved a space shuttle.]

That was awesome! I mean, that was terrible, but it was awesome. We've never saved anything together.

I know.

I've dreamt of this moment. The two of us teaming up.

[chuckling] Me, too.

[A family on bicycles stops near them.]

I usually say "Hi".

Me, too.

GGirl

Way to go, Supergirl.

FFather

That's Superman.

[aside to the girl] I used to change his diapers.

GGirl

No way!

[through a forced smile] Um, not exactly sure you have to tell them that.

[amused] No, I think I, I really do.

Okay.

I love being Supergirl, that part of my life is clear. But the rest of it....

CClark

You mean Jimmy?

How'd you know that?

CClark

It's super-telepathy. It's a power you'll get someday.

Really?

CClark

No. Jimmy and I are friends. We talk.

People think we should talk.

What's there to talk about? You keep kryptonite here, J'onn. It could kill me, it could kill Kara.

I would never let it be used like that.

I know you wouldn't. But what happens when you're not in charge any more? What happens if you get an order from a superior, the President herself? As long as you have kryptonite here, I can't be a part of what you do.

Okay. Uh... I made my decision.

[consults her smart phone] Forty-three minutes before the deadline. This better be good.

[deep breath] I want to be a reporter. I can't believe I didn't see it before. Being a reporter's about connecting with people, it's about finding hidden truths and sharing it with the world. It's about service. And telling the stories that need to be told in order to make the world a better and more comprehensible place. And it's going to make me the best version of myself as it will definitely push me out of my comfort zone. This is it for me, this is my calling.
