Kara Danvers • Supergirl
- Eliza Danvers: You're still out here?
- Kara Danvers: Yep.
- Eliza Danvers: I made coffee in case this turns into a teary all-nighter.
- Kara Danvers: Oh, you don't have to stay up.
- Eliza Danvers: Well, this is the "mom" fine print. When your child's in agony, you show up regardless the hour.
- Kara Danvers: I figured it would be nice to get her away from everything for a couple days.
- Eliza Danvers: This is gonna be hard no matter what, but at least here she can...
- [sighs]
- Eliza Danvers: lean into it. Better than letting her pretend she's fine.
- Kara Danvers: [catches the hint] You're worried about me.
- Eliza Danvers: I think I worry about you more than Alex. Losing Maggie is going to be excruciating, but at least Alex doesn't close herself off.
- Kara Danvers: I'm not doing that.
- Eliza Danvers: You have the most wide-open heart in the world for other people. But when you feel weak, you punish yourself for it. You've had an awful year.
- Kara Danvers: And I'm feeling a lot better. I promise.
- Eliza Danvers: You don't have to be better. You're allowed to be a mess.
- Kara Danvers: Too many people depend on me.
- Eliza Danvers: That is a great excuse.
- Kara Danvers: I'm just accepting the fact that I'm not human. And if I'm gonna do the things I have to do, I have to walk away from... certain... vulnerabilities.
- Eliza Danvers: You've thought a lot about this.
- Kara Danvers: Yeah. It's been a long time coming. I'm happy about it.
- [nods pensively]
- Eliza Danvers: You don't seem happy.
- Alex Danvers: What's the point of all this?
- Kara Danvers: I dunno. We need to sleep. We always slept well here.
- Alex Danvers: So we'll stay for, like, three days. Mom will cook tons of food, and I'll gain, like, five pounds, and then walk back into an empty apartment.
- Kara Danvers: Do you wanna talk about it? It might help.
- Alex Danvers: You don't get to do that.
- Kara Danvers: What?
- Alex Danvers: You don't get to shut down, what, for six months after Mon-El goes, and then now sit here and you tell me to talk.
- Kara Danvers: It will get better.
- Alex Danvers: Yeah? Are you better?
- Kara Danvers: Okay. You are edging on mean drunk, and I only signed up for sad drunk.
- Alex Danvers: Oh, that's right.
- [snaps her fingers]
- Alex Danvers: I forgot. It's whatever Kara says that goes. Right? I mean, screw everybody else. Kara knows best.
- Kara Danvers: You know what? I'm sorry that I was trying to do something nice for you.
- Alex Danvers: No, I'm sorry that I broke the imaginary rules for a weekend that I didn't ask for.
- Kara Danvers: Then I'm not gonna try to help you anymore.
- Alex Danvers: Good.
- Kara Danvers: Great.
- [lies down, turning her back on her sister in that same dismissive way that had been done to her]
- Kara Danvers: So, J'onn says to head straight back to the DEO, and if we scratch his car, he'll put us in containment.
- Alex Danvers: Well, you'd better let me drive, then.
- Kara Danvers: Why? I'm a great driver.
- Alex Danvers: You almost killed us twice coming up here.
- Kara Danvers: That possum came from nowhere!
- Alex Danvers: [holding out her hand] Keys. Come on.
- Kara Danvers: [reluctantly handing the keys over] If you're so worried about my driving, why didn't you say anything yesterday?
- Alex Danvers: Because yesterday, getting into an accident didn't seem like a big deal. Today, I would like to avoid it.
- Kara Danvers: Progress.
- Kara Danvers: You slept in.
- Alex Danvers: Yeah.
- Kara Danvers: Good. Remember this thing?
- Alex Danvers: That was the best "thank you" gift we ever got for solving a case.
- Kara Danvers: Kenny was one of the first people I lost on Earth. Doesn't get any easier.
- Alex Danvers: Kenny Li.
- Kara Danvers: Keeper of secrets.
- Alex Danvers: You know, that's the first time I really understood what I had in you. What it could mean to have a sister. It's crazy to think that I ever thought that you were worst thing that could happen to me. I'd never get over it.
- Kara Danvers: Well, I did hog the bathroom.
- Alex Danvers: Yes.
- [they snicker]
- Alex Danvers: After Kenny, that's when I realized that you and I could get through anything together.
- Kara Danvers: That was the first time I really became Kara Danvers.
- Alex Danvers: It's a good thing, too. Got us through the next ten years.
- Kara Danvers: Think I remember thinking I would never feel at home on Earth. I still don't, in a way. But I feel at home with you.
- Alex Danvers: Always.
- Alex Danvers: It was a good idea, coming here. I don't think I could have slept in any other bed last night without Maggie. Sorry I punished you for trying to help.
- Kara Danvers: Oh, it was your turn.
- Alex Danvers: I never want to hurt you.
- Kara Danvers: I know. I am getting better. Sorry I haven't shown it. Maybe if I had, you'd have more hope right now.
- Alex Danvers: You're here. Right now, that's all I really need.
