Synopsis for "Supergirl and the Legion of Super-Heroes"
United Planets technology has picked up an object moving in space at such high speed it appears as a fiery blur. Slowing down the recorded image reveals that the object is wearing an S insignia similar to what certain superheroes from the 20th century wore.
The Legion of Super-Heroes go to meet another unknown object blazing through space headed straight for Earth. The Legionnaires do their utmost to stop it, to no avail. The object enters Earth's atmosphere and heads for Metropolis, followed closely by a tinier, faster object which is actually overtaking it. Before the bigger object can crash down on the city, the smaller object doubles back and smashes it to bits with one punch. It's Supergirl.
The Girl of Steel touches down to inquire if someone needs her assistance and is greeted enthusiastically by the crowd of Metropolis. The Legion also flies down, and Cosmic Boy thanks her for destroying the object. Supergirl replies she had been flying after it for days, and she wouldn't been capable of catching up with it if they hadn't slowed it slowed down. Supergirl looks around and asks where she is.
Cosmic Boy explains she's in 30th Century Metropolis and he's the leader of the Legion of Super-Heroes. He wants to ask if she is who she looks to be, but the bystanders start arguing among themselves over her being the real Supergirl or a hoax. Supergirl takes Cosmic Boy aside and confirms she's real... but she also states she believes him to be a dream . Her dream.
