I've grown. Seen other worlds. There is more in the universe than the needs of one people--even our own. Father can't accept that. His desperation to save our people led to their destruction. He's changed. He'd sacrifice anything to undo his failure. No matter what he says, this is not for me.
They call this place Crucible. It exists to train the strongest members of every species in the universe. The question is... Do I really belong here at Crucible?
Have you ever had that feeling... like you've been asleep for a really long time? For what seems like a lifetime. And you have crazy dreams. Things you didn't even know your brain could imagine. But when you finally wake up... the dream isn't over?
It calls itself Worldkiller-1. It claims to be Kryptonian armor, though it is somehow alive. And like a cosmic parasite, it wants to make me its "host" as part of some twisted, galaxy-wide, genocidal campaign to strengthen alien worlds.
The Phantom Zone. A dimension beyond time. Cold, dark, empty... I was there once. I would forget it if I could.
My powers are stronger than ever. Too strong. I feel like I'm going out of my skin. Nervous. Can't focus. I should have Dr. Veritas examine me. And I will... But right now it's dangerous to be Supergirl, and...
There's no rule against swimming
At CatCo, I'm expected to write stories about how dangerous Supergirl is, to convince the public to turn against her. The Danvers would rather I protect myself instead of the people who need help. I know they worry about me. But I can't just stay inside and do nothing. There's so much anger. Both from those who think I'm a hero and those who think I'm a monster.
I was willing to negotiate with you at one point, but watching you destroy an entire planet and everyone on it because theyir "offering" was insufficient made me sick to my stomach. Anyone who is capable of such evil has made my list!
Compassion means not picking and choosing who you care about, even if you fear them. You all taught me that when I came here!
Listen, you-- I've been there, but you've got to get yourself under control.
Can that be done? Can we get changed back? Go crazy again? That's... That's horrible. Who would do something like that to a person?
You are Kon-El, an abomination. An abomination in the House of El. As a clone, you have no choice but to eventually become a mindless killing machine.
I know it's a dream because there hasn't been a blizzard on Krypton since I was barely old enough to walk. And if this wasn't a dream, I'd be freezing to death. But all I feel is a cool... breeze?!
You are my only friends on this world. You have done everything you can to help me fit in. But everywhere I go, everything I do, these terrible things keep happening. I have to find out why!
<Stop. Speaking. My. Language.>
I should stay close to Kal. He's the only family I have left. And yet every time I see him... I'm just reminded of how much I've lost.
I'm going to find a way to save you! I'm going to save you all! No matter what it takes.
Krypto, it's me! It's Kara! You survived!! Oof! I never thought I'd miss your drool!
--I'm just trying to save my planet! How can you call yourselves the "Justice League" if you're willing to let Krypton die?!
I. DON'T. CARE. I've already paid. I have nothing left! Krypton is dead, all right?! Everyone is dead! I'M dead... inside.
Lost. Confused. Alone. All just different ways of saying... I'm scared.
Great, I'm going to die because of math.
No offense, but your planet -- to use your expression -- has been nothing but a big bucket of suck since I got here.
So... How does one say, thank you, stranger from the House of El-- who I have never met before-- for saving me from the entropic monster? And how do I reward you?
I used to be normal, y'know...? I used to have friends, and a family, and a life... All of that died along with Krypton. And it's felt like one nonstop tragedy ever since dad tricked me into that escape pod...
He... He kicked me in the face and... eveything went red, and... It was like... everything I've been through lately... all that pain and loneliness and anger... All of it was in that punch I threw--! But I swear I wasn't trying to kill him. I just... I don't even know... I don't even know my own strength!
You know what I am sick and tired of? People acting like they know me-- like they only want what's best for me.
My name is Kara Zor-El. I'm from a long-dead planet called Krypton. On Earth they called me "Supergirl" because I could do almost anything--anything except fit in. But those days of loss and loneliness are behind me now. I've finally found where I belong. I belong in the Red Lantern Corps.
My name is Kara Zor-El. I am a Kryptonian. I am a Red Lantern. I might just be the most dangerous thing in the universe. No wonder nobody wants me around.
My mind is free of all the rage and confusion now. I know who I am, and I know what you are-- A mockery of life. This is not murder. It is the end of a terrible mistake.
I lost my parents. I will not let that happen to Michael. Not to him.
His name is Jason Todd. When he wears the helmet, he goes by RED HOOD. In a word, the boy is trouble. My name is Kara Zor-El. When I wear the uniform, I go by SUPERGIRL and I am sick to death of trouble.
For better or worse, this planet is my home now. I want to live among its people. Real people living real lives. The lives we've fought so hard to protect. Or did you forget that?
I was foolish. Finding myself at that incredible school, learning new things, meeting new people... It was the closest I'd been to a normal life in a long time. I'm beginning to think I'll never learn.
My priority is protecting my friends. That includes you, Tsavo.
That was... before. I know you better now. Kon has a new meaning for me.
I'm lighter than air. Shots bounce off. I'm doing impossible things without even thinking about it.
The past is the hardest thing to escape. I've been so preoccupied with letting go of it that I failed to see how important it is to hold onto sometimes... because the past is what leads us to now.
I'm flying into deep space, heading for a constellation that might... might... lead me home. And if it doesn't... can I even find my way back?
I wanted to wake up on the morning of my graduation to face the future alongside my closest friends. But the truth is... I'm awake now. My home is gone. And I have only one place left to go.
Reign was right. I can't beat all of them. But I'm not going to let them hurt these people. I'll die before I let that happen. Krypton might be gone... but there's still something left to save.
Right now, I genuinely miss the cold, lifeless expanse of space.
We would still be in that cell if you were not prepared, like you said. Giving people the benefit of the doubt can be dangerous. And you need to be ready. But Psi is in pain, Xa-Du hurt her. I can reach her. I know it. Sometimes you are right, Batgirl. But sometimes, diving in is the only option. Because someone needs you.
Look at my thoughts. You must find what they lack -- mercy. I struggle with it. Every day. But I search. And I do find it. Help me save my friends. But be above Xa-Du. Spare the Phantom Zone. If you are their god, teach them.
I know you can hear them. I have to go. Even if my powers are super-sensitive. Even if it's dangerous. I can't ignore them. I hope someday you can understand that.
I just wish they all understood-- the D.E.O. and the people of the National-- showing my father compassion doesn't mean I'm a threat to them. Power without compassion would make me as dangerous as they think I am.
This doesn't make sense, Sharon! This isn't you! You died to help people! To help Superman!
You're not hurting anyone. Civilian OR alien. The biggest threat that I see here, Agent Jagger... is you and the D.E.O.
Agent Ocampo. Why does the D.E.O continue to paint me as a threat? You of all people know better. Have you forgotten I saved you and Cameron Chase from being crushed by a car? And the students here. Not just tonight. Speeding truck, falling glass... even loneliness. I remember their faces and their names. Every single one. I will continue to help, no matter how many guns you point at me. Now. Do you really want to arrest me, Alissa Ocampo?
I look human, Lee... But I am not. When I first got to Earth, I didn't know the culture, the languages. People were scared of me, hated me, too. I was so angry, so confused... but that wasn't me. that was who they were afraid I could be. Other people didn't get to decide who I was.
Don't. Do you think I'm stupid? You can't be my father. Zor-El is dead. He saved me from Krypton's destruction. He saved Argo City, our home! But you... I've fought you before. You tried to kill me! Multiple times!
My name is Kara Zor-El, the Last Daughter of Krypton. My parents sent me to Earth to save my life. But as Supergirl, I choose to do more than survive. I choose to have hope. I choose to inspire and to be inspired. I choose to fight so that today will be better than yesterday. And I choose to believe that together, we can build a brighter, better future. I have to. After all... I'm the Girl of Tomorrow!
Life is complicated. Messy. And has a high body count. We box up our pain, ignore it, and try to move on. "Try" being the operative word. We may even get a moment's peace. Until something comes along... something that rips off that scab and sends all that old pain surging back through you...
If Krypton was actually murdered and not a natural disaster...? To hate an entire species so much that someone would eradicate it from existence? How does a "Rogol Zaar" happen?
An intergalactic dive bar at the outskirts of the galaxy filled with shady characters from all over the universe? I'll take "places I've never expected to be" for 500, Alex. I do take some joy in seeing that Ambush Bug remains startlingly unfunny no matter what planet you're from.
Was my father's invention what killed Krypton?! Was it?! Father, what did you do?!
You kiss your mother with that mouth? Yeah, you probably do.
Caring about the vulnerable isn't a weakness! IT IS MY BIGGEST STRENGTH!
All of you, wait! If there is any true part of me within you, let it hear me! Fight your rage. Fight your pain. this is not who you-- who we-- are. There is always a way out. There is hope. I want to help you!
How many billions must keep dying before this all stops? I am done with the hate, the mindless thirst for revenge no matter the cost! This insanity must stop! And it will stop-- NOW!!!
The Cyborg Superman, Zor-El, did horrible things. But if he has truly saved Argo City and my mother, I have to know. He is a broken man. I cannot abandon him, and I cannot abandon them to him.
A semi-sentient, psychic vampire weapon of a genocidal madman dragging us through space? That is never a good thing.
I really hate see friends fight. I know he's a pain in the butt, Hawkman, but I like my Batman alive!
Even knowing father's plan might be madness, I came here. I didn't believe him. But I believed in you, mother.
Father. Get the hell away from my dad.
No, father. We are here to inspire each other.
Bad dreams don't mean you should stop dreaming.
... I missed out on years, Kal. I'm here for you. Always. And as for anyone who wants to get in the way of that... I'd like to see them try.
I can watch the ocean and not focus on what happens beneath the surface. But when a wave kicks up, I notice. And I bet if a wave hit Burnside, you would notice, too, Barbara.
Um you guys seem to need some alone time... soooo whenever you need to reach me, Kal, well... Just go ahead and reach me.
Why is He hiding? The guy can hit. Maybe we hurt him more than we thought we did?
He wasn't back at the Fortress of Solitude. And I-- I took care of the mess-- I took care of Kandor. I-- I needed to.
The tomb can be sealed... but only from the inside.
I know John and Kyle are friends, but if one of their Guardian bosses-- even a long-dead one-- was in on Krypton's destruction? When push comes to shove, whom will the Lanterns side with?
You want a battle of wills, Zaar? Bring it.
We're home.
Jeremiah! You're alive?!
I don't follow killers. I make them pay.
Kal and I are cousins and family sticks together, Zod.
Killing a God would be fun.
And if I'm not the hero, what am I?
Can you ever forgive me?
Don't be mad. I'm 21 now. Official. Which means it's okay. That's the Truth and Justice and the American Way.
It's safer than getting eaten by a dragon.
You're hiding something. I'm going to find it. And my name is Supergirl.
God, people #%@$@&% hate Kal...
Hello, I'm Supergirl. And you're Krem of the Yellow Hills. You shot my #%@%&%# dog.
I'm serious... Comet... don't you... don't you... %#@%&$# dare...
Attention all heroes within the sound of my voice! This is Supergirl with a planetary alert!
Otho. Osul. Welcome to the House of El.
Just shut up. Accept that you are loved.
Long before I could fly... I could fly.
How about a team-up?
For you-- And I don't say this to hurt you-- for you, Krypton is theoretical and Earth is your home. You forget, cousin, that technically, I am older than you. I grew up on Krypton.
