Kara: When I was a child, my world ended. But I was saved. Sent to Earth to protect
my baby cousin, Kal-El. But Krypton's destruction sent a shockwave that knocked my
ship off-course, into the Phantom Zone. Somehow, my pod got loose, and I made the
long journey to Earth. Though I was still a child when I arrived, my cousin had already
grown up to become Superman. I hid who I really was until one day, my adoptive
sister Alex was in danger, and I was forced to reveal myself to the world. From that
day on, I became Supergirl. Now, I work in secret with my sister and the DEO to fight
alien menaces that threaten the Earth and others that would cause my city harm. I
have friends. And allies. I have a family. After so many years of being lost, I am finally
home.
(ALL CHEERING)
To Supergirl.
To family.

Nothing good.
Ahh!

Oh, my God.
This has always been here? With the glass and the views and...
Whiner.
Hey, sis.
He must have escaped before the planet exploded, like Clark and I did.
He's comatose.
We need someone to analyze the pod's telemetry, and Winn does read Kryptonian.

Space talk!
Challenge accepted.
Let's go.
Just him and me, together like normal people, doing what people do on dates.
Okay.
What?
What, what?
You're doing that thing where you say "Okay," but you're not actually okay.
Because you're doing that thing where you are super overeager, which means that you
really aren't, but you're trying to convince yourself that you are.
This is me excited.
Mmm-hmm.
I have to go.
We are just hours away from the launch of Venture, the first commercial spacecraft
designed for suborbital transportation.
(SCOFFS) They offered me a seat on the Venture, but I turned them down.

What would I possibly have in common with a bunch of rich people in a rocket ship
seeking existential answers to their meaningless lives?
Wha...
Um, well...
Why not?
Well, it's only been 12 hours since you asked me to choose a new position, and then
most of those hours I was asleep.
Really?
I offer you the keys to the kingdom, and you just go to sleep?
It was nighttime.
Two.
Right.
Well, I did do this online quiz where, you know, you list all your skills, and then it uses
this kind of algorithm to calculate your ideal career.
Mmm.
And according to the Catco website, marketing ranks high in potential salary, future
growth and, interestingly enough, work-life balance which...
Oh, okay.
Do you think that Supergirl is a hero because flying is one of her skills? No.

Look inward, and figure out what Kara Danvers needs to do with her life.
I am granting you two more days, as in 48 hours, and whatever you do, don't come
back with the results of a Rorschach test.
Ms. Tessmacher!
Yes.
No.
This is the best replacement for you you could come up with?

(KNOCKING ON DOOR)
Hi.
Hi.
Do you...
Um, I'm surprised you don't have the Venture launch on.
Although, you do still say "Great Caesar's ghost," which is a bit of a throwback.
(CHUCKLING)
Yes, sir, I'm very aware that we're not talking about you.
Hello?
News anchor: (ON TV) Hang on, we're hearing of a possible expl*si*n aboard the
Venture.
Female news anchor: Here's all we know at this time. There are over 200 people
aboard the craft. There are no further details, but keep it right here, and we'll continue
to bring you the very latest. We can only hope wherever he is, he's seeing this. I pray
she's watching this.
She is.
Mayday. Mayday.

Absolutely.
(BOTH GRUNTING)
I know.
Me, too.
That's Superman.
No way.
Okay.
Listen up.
Hi.
Hi.
Pleasure.
I just want to thank you all for your hard work protecting Earth.
Oh, brother.

No.
Is that a problem?
Hi.
Okay...
When Lex Luthor set off the earthquake in California, did you gauge the focal depth
with your X-ray vision?
Winn...
Breathe.
Alex.
You, too.
J'onn.
Superman.
Follow me.
Beats me.
Enough.
(SIGHS) Did you try using a Quantum scan to determine his age?
And you X-ray-visioned him for foreign objects, like a cybernetic data core?
Of course.
Mmm-hmm.
So, my handy translator just finished decrypting the pod's data log.
Now, it seems sleeping beauty on his journey from Krypton passed through something
called the Segara Beyal.
Oh.
What?
The Venture.
The company behind the Venture said there was an expl*si*n when the ship reached
low orbit insertion.
So?
Well, if something like that was gonna go wrong it would've happened earlier in the
flight.
Exactly.
Maybe a mild-mannered reporter should make some inquiries while he's here in
National City.

There he is.

(CLARK CHUCKLES)
No fault of mine.
So, are you still seeing Lois Lane, or did that fizzle out like I predicted in the office
pool?
(CHUCKLING) You know, I'd say that she has room in her life for both of us.
Oh, no.
Perry White was a fool to ever let you out of his sight.
Sway.
She's always like that with Clark. She goes gaga for him.
It was florid.
No.
Good save.

Thanks.
Fully.
Me, too.
It's Alex.
Yeah, go ahead.
What's up?
Yeah, yeah, I think Clark knows a thing or two about that name.
Clark.
Yeah.
What is it?
There was one passenger who had a seat booked on the Venture who mysteriously
didn't show up last-minute.
Lena Luthor.
Lex's sister.
Yup.
Yeah, thanks.
Well, Lex may be in jail, but his sister is now running Luthor Corp.
Ah.
She'll lock into the target, and then it's lights out.
(GROANS)
Corben.
Lena: There's a perfectly reasonable explanation for why I wasn't aboard the Venture
yesterday.
There was an emergency regarding the planning for a ceremony I'm holding tomorrow.
Ah, lucky.
Um...
Right.
Did you?
It wasn't always.
And the person who made me feel most welcome in the family was Lex.
When Superman put Lex in jail, I vowed to take back my family's company.
To rename it L-Corp.
I'm just a woman trying to make a name for herself outside of her family.
Yeah.
Because a subsidiary of my company made the part that exploded on the Venture.
Thank you.
Good day.
Yeah, me neither.

I've learned through hard experience not to believe anything a Luthor says.
Yeah, I know I'm not a reporter or anything, but I kinda believed her.
Hi, sweetie.
(KARA LAUGHS)
Really?
No.
I'm stuck.
Well, it wasn't.

Look, all I know is that being Kara is just as important as being Supergirl.
Come here.
Operation Emerald.
Back when I first took over the DEO, we got a report about a meteorite coming down
in the desert.
Superman would work with us back then, so we both headed out to investigate.
It didn't affect me, but Superman got down there, he started heaving.
Passed out.
It was Kryptonite.
I named it that.
Now, the oscillator that exploded on the Venture, it was located underneath the main
passenger cabin, right?

According to the manifest, guess who was supposed to be sitting in seat 23B?
Lena Luthor.
I hate flying.
You know, if you were expecting us to show up, you really should've brought
something a little more powerful.
I've drones planted throughout the city, targeting civilian populations as we speak.
(SCREAMS)
So, listen, I know that I've been dealing with drone attacks and spaceships...
Two spaceships.
But I will not let that get in the way of us having the perfect date.
James...
And don't tell me I'm wrong or that I'm imagining something, 'cause I know you.
It was.
And now?
I...
I don't know.
(CAT GROANS)
(SOBBING)
Well, if you hate her so much, why don't you fire her?
Normally, you'd ax an assistant the second they brought you a latte one degree off.
Oh, Ker-rah.
I have followed every one of my passions, I've achieved everything I've ever wanted to
achieve, and I'm at the very top of my game.
The question is, Ker-rah, what the hell is wrong with you?
You're young, brilliant, and you have the world at your feet.
You have the man you pined for, any job you wish for, and you stand there blinking like
a doe in the headlights.
Frozen.
I'm...
You are absolutely right. In some areas of my life, I feel so strong and confident, and
then in every other area...

Dive.
You're standing on the shore, afraid to dive into the new waters, and you're afraid
because you don't wanna say goodbye to the mild-mannered, lovelorn Kara Danvers,
the sweet and dutiful assistant to Cat Grant.
You are standing there looking out at your options, the icy blue water, the fast-flowing
river, and the choppy sea.
And they all look very appealing to you because you're dying to go for a swim, but you
know that water is going to be cold, and the journey is going to be hard, and when you
reach the other side, you will have become a new person.
Now, we all get used to our own personas, and we're used to our own comfort zones,
but, trust me, in order to live, we must keep daring.
Keep diving.
Yeah.
Tick-tock.
Right.
Kind of looks like something my dad might have built in one of his more murdery
moments.
John Corben.
He's been linked to Intergang, Kasnian terrorists, and the genocide in Corto Maltese.
Trying to talk Lena out of going through with the renaming ceremony.
This Corben doesn't seem like he cares who gets hurt so long as he gets his target.

As long as you have kryptonite here, I can't be a part of what you do.
You're taking an awful risk, going ahead with the renaming ceremony with your life in
danger.
I won't have a life if I can't make this company into something positive.
No sign of Corben.

Winn!

I don't need a Star Wars reference right now, Winn. I need a plan.

Luthor still has resources and reach, even rotting in maximum security lockdown.
I had help.
This is exactly the kind of press my company needs after yesterday's attack.
And thank you for including that part about me sh**ting the guy.

I'm sorry.
Well, if I can make a believer out of Clark Kent, there's hope yet.
Uh...
Okay...
I made my decision.
(EXHALES)
I wanna be a reporter.
Being a reporter is about connecting with people, it's about finding hidden truth and
sharing it with the world.
It's about service, and telling stories that need to be told in order to make the world a
better, more comprehensible place.
And it's going to make me the best version of myself, because it will definitely push me
out of my comfort zone.
Open it.
Is this my resume?
The minute you came in to interview as my assistant, I had an instinct about you.
So I scribbled "reporter" on your resume, and I stuffed it right here in this drawer, and
I hired you on the spot.
Mmm-hmm.
How?
Instincts.

Obviously not your strip mall wardrobe, and I probably curse more in one day than
you've cursed in your entire lifetime, but you have integrity to right wrongs and to see
justice done.
You know, you do have a really good instinct about other people, just letting them
know how to live their best lives.
Please. I'm just glad that you decided to take the plunge.
I know it seems like I should have everything figured out by now, but I don't.
Last year was all about figuring out how to be Supergirl, and now...
(SIGHS)
But now when I listen to my heart, I just... I know that we are best as friends.
Okay.

Congratulations, Winn.
And this is not a deal-breaker whatsoever, but I had a pretty sweet IRA over at Catco.
Or...
(KARA LAUGHS)
Doesn't bother you that I got top credit on this one, does it? Not even a little bit?
(LAUGHING)
In fact, I was thinking that I'd stick around for a little while.
Really?
Yeah.
Me, too.
And I know everything there is to know about Krypton from the archives in the
Fortress.
So, maybe while I'm here, you can tell me some more about my parents.
Good.
Hey, I'm not sure if you're interested, but there is an armored car robbery on Sixth and
Stagg.
Up, up?
And away.
