My mother sent me on a mission to Earth to find my father's killer. The man with the Kryptonite touch, Reactron. I'm supposed to be in Metropolis right now, tracking him down. Instead, a woman I barely know is doing her best to stop me and send me home. I'm Supergirl. This is my life. 
That was supposed to be it for me. But then you happened. Everything I was thinking... every emotion in my body... every doubt I had inside... I saw all of them in your cracked face. You were like me.
"The hero the world doesn't need," Cat once wrote about me. Some days, though, it sure feels like it does. Though, if there weren't three kids missing, I'm not sure I'd help her. You can't say those kinds of things about a person then expect them to just fly up and give you a hand.
You have a life. You can be Clark, or Kal-El or Superman -- Who am I going to be?
Yes, he did. And countless others besides. But my father would want justice, not vengeance.
My story isn't over. It's now about the journey. The truth is what we discover every day. Not just about ourselves, but within everyone. There will be different people who tell it differently, but it won't matter. I know now. There is only one Supergirl. And that's me.
I can see... something. It looks like... like it's mixing in with the cells around it. I'm sorry, Lana. I'm so sorry. I should've noticed something was wrong. I should've been checking. If they can't fight it... if it continues to attack your system, does that mean... Did they tell you how long you have?
A bunch of villains "conveniently" appear out of thin air minutes after we're both snapped by the app? I mean... really?
That's one take. Another would be to say that you used your science magic to find the monsters and then you defeated them. You're a regular knight in shining armor, Henry Octavius Flyte.
Some days, people wake up and think they can change the world. Last week that was me. Me, when I decided to try and cure a boy named Thomas of inoperable cancer. But I failed...
I grew up on Krypton, didn't I? Everyone who did knows about Brainiac. He's what kept us from going out after dark.
Some of us try hard to make the world a better place than it was when we found it. I know that's what I try to do. I won't always be successful. But that's life. I'm Supergirl. This is my life ... and y'know what? I'm pretty happy with it. (For now at least.)
I am exactly who you assume I am. Promise. My name is Kara Zor-El... Supergirl... and I am from a thousand years in your past. I am real... but you're not.
"Fate"? Or "Luck"? Destiny himself told me how that thing fell into your hands thanks to some sorcerers called the Luck Lords! We've got to get it back before they scoop it up themselves! Otherwise, all time and... and whatever-- space-- is doomed!
'
By attacking Zod, Ral-Dar has told them they're not.
No. Not this time. I tried that once before, but he escaped. If we catch him this time, he comes with me. Back to New Krypton.
I wanted to show it to you. When my parents put me in that rocket, the one that brought me here -- this was the only thing that made the trip with me.
Aren't we supposed to stop these cruisers from escaping, then call in the Science Police?
That pillow fight doesn't sound half bad now, does it?
It's funny, though. The stars are slightly different in the future, too. The people of Metropolis speak an unfamiliar language. Even being with a team of people that're like me... even after they've tried to hard to make me feel welcome... I still feel... I dunno... kinda lonesome.
I trained with Batman. With the Amazons. I know first level Klurkor. Just because I can't use heat vision doesn't mean I'm helpless.
You're asking for mercy? Like Agent Liberty got?! Like poor Mister Henderson!? Like my father!? You don't deserve mercy, you deserve a beating!
This is my home. One of two that is. If I'm going to live on both, I'm going to have to learn to shoulder the problems of two worlds. Shouldn't be too much of a problem, right? After all, I'm Supergirl.
Today is my birthday. And it's the day I choose what guild I'm going to take.
Helping her is the idea, Mon. Either she accepts our help-- or I get to hit her really hard.
Thara, the only reason you're not eating your teeth right now... is that Lana asked me to keep the apartment in one piece. So now would be a good time for you to stop talking.
I'm sorry for not believing in you. You've told me since I was young that Rao and Flamebird and Nightwing and all of that was real. I-- I just-- the Flamebird has chosen you, and-- You've given me hope, Thara.
A year ago, when I was at my lowest, a woman named Lana Lang helped me up. She and Kal had grown together. As far as I was concerned, that made her family. Lana offered me insight. Friendship. Guidance. I finally felt like I fit with someone. And then my parents came back and New Krypton happened and... well, even then she helped me however she could. Offered me advice when no one else would.
No. They're not around. Lana is... was my family here. I have no one else right now. Not after... not after all I've been through.
I'm Kara Zor-El of Kandor, Queen. I'm a Super-Hero. I don't scare easily.
I want to become Linda Lang full-time. Just like Kara Zor-El, Supergirl is going away too. For Good.
... Guess it's time to beat up something besides myself.
Now that's what I call a close encounter
Dr. Light was going to keep you. Run tests on you indefinitely. I couldn't let that happen. You deserve to be tried by your own people for your crimes.
You have doubts. You're unsure about what to do when confronted with something that could potentially kill you. You just want to run away from it all, but then you feel guilty for not trying hard enough. We're not opposites are we? Not like Kal and Bizarro--
"Respected"? Says the woman who writes about how short my skirt is every other day, then blackmails my friends to get me to pull her fat out of the fire?!
Figures. Like all villains, once you're left standing alone, you're begging and cowardly. You tortured three little kids. Why should I let you do anything?
Please tell me you didn't just jump off this building so that I would catch you.
My name is Kara Zor-El and this is my life. Four super freaks appearing out of thin air? Yeah, that's pretty much par for the course. The Junior Peanut Gallery taking pictures for their own amusement -- well, that's a recent development. Still, luckily for them -- I'm not shy in front of the camera!
It's only a risk if you don't know what you're up against, Lois. And luckily, just this once... I seem to be ahead of the curve!
They trusted me. All of them assumed-- well, maybe not Robin-- that because of who I was that I knew what was going on here. Unfortunately... that wasn't true! I hope for their sake that I'm right this time.
Kal-El's in a league of his own, Lois. But if anything should ever happen to him... I'll be ready and waiting to step up to the majors.
I don't want sound immodest here, but blending in and asking questions isn't exactly a job for Supergirl.
Robots... Why... did it have to be... robots?
People like Supergirl, they have a way of sticking around. But you and me... Just... don't forget me, okay?
Consider me your new sidekick
This is how they see you. You're their champion. Bigger than life. No wonder the eyeglasses work -- Nobody would look for you dressed like them!
I ran into someone who's better than me. I was outclassed and this wasn't just me getting pummeled... so many innocent people paid the price.
This was your brilliant idea, Kal! "Let's go camping on an alien world where our powers don't work," he says! Of course you left out several important details...
If that's how he broke out, and it was outside of the cell...?
Titans are busy, all the other kids are in school, nobody's getting blown up or mugged or anything. For all the excitement around here today... I should've stayed in Kandor.
That was nice, with the sound baffles, letting you sneak up on me. But this whole "swift death" thing? I'm thinking NO!
Donna Troy showed me how to "Google" myself, too. Guess people here have a problem with my costume. Most of the pictures I saw had erased it and added a spectacular level of anatomic detail.
Damn stupid outer space makes-no-sense MAZE! I'll get to Rann when I'm eighty and Green Lantern's going to be dead and the bad guys will win and it's all my fault for TRUSTING A DRUNK!
Kryptonite talon... I know how I'll die... I shouldn't know that... I shouldn't know... No... No, you don't... You die, too. They all do. Kal... Ma and Pa... We're so small...
Put her down or I'll make you eat your tail. Seriously, I can do it.
It's nice to see you too, Robin. Stop me if you've heard this, but the gravelly voice thing is adorable. The "Li'l Batman" thing, not so much. We'll work on that.
Luck and I haven't been all that close lately. Try again.
Good... So what do we do to make the ghosts go away?
I am messed up. I make mistakes all the time... I feel stupid and scared and ugly and insecure, just like everybody else... but when I blow it, I don't shrivel up and die. I get myself up. I try to do better. I always try again.
I was messed up, Karen. Selfish... Scared... But I've changed. I'm changing.
Don't call me. Don't talk to me. Don't look at me... or I'll break every bone in your body.
You are the greatest man I've ever met, and I... I may be a monster, but we have to find a way... We have to find a way where our fathers failed.
I ran to him at super speed and flicked him in the head. I heat-visioned the barrel of the gun and was back in place before his feet left the ground. I have it under control.
Ugh. Kal told me this happens sometimes. A whole team works to take down the bad guy... and then one big fat Kryptonian punch ends it. It should feel like a win and yet... they're all looking at me like I did something wrong...
Slack, please. I had to hitchhike here with a creep who smelled like a Kryptonian babootch.
Three hours ago, I tried to force a peace settlement between the Queen of the Amazons and the President of the United States. Big Mistake.
This is the one intact structure within a hundred miles that would agree to host us. That means no fighting! Anyone leaves so much as a scuffmark and they answer to me.
Hang in there, Big Guy.You're SO not in this alone.
To be honest, I'm not sure I've earned the right to use that name... or to even wear this uniform. But I'm hoping, with all of your help, I'll grow into it.
It's okay. It's okay, Cassie. Whatever's happened... Whatever's coming next... We'll figure it out.
Cosmic Boy wasn't ever gonna be here, was he? This whole thing was a setup! Brainiac 5 wants me out of the way. Now I'll have to arrest him!
Oh. Well. That's a comfort. Because while you were off fondling your neurons, these walls went up!
I seem to remember telling you the last time we met don't call me "toots"!
Look, I'm not from around here, either... but even I know that there are easier ways to get to Japan than, like, straight down.
Cos, if you can hear this, we're in! Mon, Ultra Boy and I have pulled the shock troops back through the powersphere gate and nullified them-- we've secured the transmatter on this end-- and we're sending a second portal your way!
Wait! What are you doing to me? I thought you were my friends! All that stuff in my head about Krypton blowing up... Mom and Dad and... Everything... gone... It really wasn't a dream...
Wait, let me get this straight. You're... invulnerable? Probably can't get sick, right? Maybe immortal. You have power... beyond imagination... and you're using it... to rob a bank?
Mitch-- I broke him out of gail. I know he's not a nice guy. I just need him to build those machines. And who knows? Maybe... Maybe he's never had a chance to do something good.
Sometimes I wish I didn't have any memories of Krypton. Maybe then I'd be like you... maybe then I wouldn't miss it so much.
I don't care what I have to do. I don't care how long it takes. I'm going to bring him back.
Thanks. I'm sure there were a few times, particularly out there on the street, when you wanted to fly in-- but you let me handle it. It's the only way I'm going to learn, Kal.
Lyla. I'm going to miss you. More than you can even imagine. You were my first friend. You accepted me without any question. Maybe because as Harbinger you saw something in me that's worthwhile... Now all I have to do is find that thing. I'll try as hard as I can not to disappoint you...
Smile, Doomsday. You're about to meet the Superman Family.
Have a life... I can't do both, can I? You want me here. I have a life in Metropolis. Well, the start of one, anyway. I want to make our family work, I do. But which home should I pick?
Not that I mind you two talking about me like I'm not here... Well, actually, I do... Shouldn't I have something to say about where I'm going to live?
Do yourselves and each other a favor... Be yourself. It makes life a Hell of a lot easier.
I know how people react when Kryptonians cross a line, father. If we don't make it clear that hurting those policemen wasn't our intention-- they'll say we're as bad as General Zod's army. And they'll come after us.
Sir, please. My friend Green Lantern brought me here, but we got separated, and I need to catch up to him. It's crucial. I can pay for help. Trade coal for diamonds.
SO... I spent years and years trapped inside a spaceship from Krypton. All alone on a dead rock from a dead world, and I promise you-- I will not be bound AGAIN!
I'm taking us home, and not you with your broken arm or anyone else can stop me.
Is that really how it is? All the time? Am I going to have to watch people die knowing I wasn't fast enough or couldn't get to them in time?
I came out here the first time to cry. It's next to impossible to feel like you have any privacy in a city where everyone has superhearing. In space, though, no one can hear me grieve. My tears would boil, then instantly freeze in the vacuum. No evidence of weeping for anyone to see.
Mother, you have to listen to Kal. Earth is New Krypton's only chance for peace.
So, are you all rejects of an intergalactic circus?
I just got angry, all right? We're trying to help these people and then they attack me, I lost it, I admit it, all right?
You're a disgrace to the House of El! It ends NOW!
Okay... you know what...? The two of you are really messed up.
My mother sent me on a mission to Earth to find my father's killer. The man with the Kryptonite touch, Reactron. I'm supposed to be in Metropolis right now, tracking him down. Instead, a woman I barely know is doing her best to stop me and send me home. I'm Supergirl. This is my life.
The Legion of Super-Heroes doesn't exist. I'm dreaming you.
I never thought it would be this fun, so I may as well enjoy being "Supergirl" for as long as it lasts-- because at some point, my parents will wake me up to celebrate my birthcycle! Baby Kal will be there, and Krypto-- and there'll be gifts and prayers and sunrise over the Argo City skyline--
You guys have a real robot problem.
Everyone's gone. And the stasis chambers are empty. Wherever Brainiac's gone to-- he's taken Dream Girl and Lemnos with him.
Funny, I'd gotten the impression that "Let's be friends" was just about the last thing a boy wants from a girl.
I... I used to think Krypton was gone, but... no... I'm going to wake up in my bed in Argo City. My mom and dad will be there... They'll finally treat me like a grownup... until then, I'll just... I'll keep dreaming up conversations like this...
Don't worry, boys. It tickles.
I don't know much. But if Superwoman is working with him, if they're searching for someone-- Then they'll find someone waiting.
You can't just arrive in Gotham City... and not tell... Batman.
Nothing like having your life shrunk down to some pop idol stereotype. I swear, there are days when I feel like I've only been on Earth for about ten minutes but everybody still thinks they know me.
She's been a warrior. I can tell. I don't know if I could ever pull it all together like she has...
You better pray this stuff comes out of my hair...
I promise you, Thomas. I am not going to let you die!
Was that a nuke? Did he just nuke me?
I promised a kid that I'd cure his cancer, and I'd like your help.
You've got a decision to make. I'm not going to say I understand what you must be going through, because I don't, but I do know something about it. I wasn't born this way. I was a normal kid, with a normal life. No flying, no heroics. I wanted to be an astronaut. Then my planet... my world... started to tear itself apart.
Some days you wake up and want to change the world. Others, you just want to break that same world in two. But most of the time you just have to get on with the business of living.
Cat Grant is a total snagriff.
Did you know there is no word for "Escape" in my language?
