Amy Jackson: Imra Ardeen

Legion of Super-Heroes

Imra Ardeen

Querl Dox: Well, the good news is her mind is active and alert.
Alex Danvers: Oh, thank god.
Querl Dox: Yes. The bad news is she is very angry.
Winn Schott: [sarcastic] Well, I'm sure she loves being trapped inside a mind prison.
J'onn J'onzz: You're speaking with her right now, even as you're speaking with us?
Querl Dox: The crown connects to my internal AI core. It translates her brainwaves to English and sends electronic signals back to her.
Imra Ardeen: These tanks have incredible healing power, so she just needs to rest and let it do its work.

Querl Dox: In the year 2455, Earth experienced a third-degree extinction phenomenon.
Imra Ardeen: Humanity came together, but Earth suffered catastrophic destruction. It wasn't just loss of life, it was its history, culture, art, music.
Querl Dox: It was everything interesting.
Imra Ardeen: Mon-El taught us everything we know. From Aristotle, Shakespeare, Bon Jovi.
Mon-El: But we have some gaps. And unfortunately, even if we know the end result, we don't necessarily know how it happens.

Mon-El: We have people counting on us in the future. We can't get involved.
Imra Ardeen: You keep saying that. That this is not our fight. What about Tommy and Gina? Hmm? "You live for the fight when it's all that you've got."
Mon-El: Bon Jovi.
Imra Ardeen: Mm-hmm. Or was that all a lie?
Mon-El: No. No, he speaks the truth.
Imra Ardeen: I know we had a plan, but we are supposed to help people. We're sworn to helping people. And these people need our help right now. It's who we are.

Mon-El: So, 1,000 years from now, this farming planet, Winath, goes dark. And our friend, Ayla, she's from there, so she goes to check it out.
Imra Ardeen: Winath was a paradise, but Ayla made planet-fall and found it...
Mon-El: Decimated. It was completely dried out.
Imra Ardeen: The creatures that did this, we call them the Blight. They consume everything in their path.
Mon-El: And Brainy found a way to stop them, but they were on us before we could use it.
Imra Ardeen: So we hid the information in the safest place we could: our DNA. Where it can't be lost, can't be stolen. It's written in our genes.
Mon-El: So if we die, our DNA never makes it to the future. And everything's lost. You have no idea how badly I wish we could help.
Alex Danvers: Just make sure my sister wakes up.

Imra Ardeen: Are you okay?
Alex Danvers: Considering my tibia's been snapped in half?
Mon-El: And what about Reign?
J'onn J'onzz: She shrugged off that kryptonite like it was nothing.
Alex Danvers: [Brainiac tightens a leg brace] Ahh! Yes, thanks. That's good.
[to the others]
Alex Danvers: The same amount incapacitated Kara.
Mon-El: So why was Reign resistant?
J'onn J'onzz: Maybe she's more than just Kryptonian.
Alex Danvers: No, the soil did hurt her, just... not enough.
J'onn J'onzz: You have a plan?
Alex Danvers: Concentrate it. We'll put it straight in her bloodstream. Jugular should work.
Winn Schott: Ah. One... one small hiccup. Uh, who would be strong enough to hit her with the syringe?

J'onn J'onzz: She's declaring war on criminality in National City.
Alex Danvers: And not just against the criminals, it's against the entire justice system. We have to stop her.
J'onn J'onzz: Without Supergirl?
Winn Schott: I mean, we have a literal legion of superheroes here.
Mon-El: I owe you all my life. And I hope you know that I would do anything I could for you. But unfortunately, this can't be our fight.
Imra Ardeen: Surely we can help them somehow.
Mon-El: If we die now, we will endanger the future.
J'onn J'onzz: What do you mean?
Mon-El: We're on a mission.
Querl Dox: Careful.
Mon-El: Our involvement here could jeopardize that. I can tell you what we do know. We know that Supergirl lives. And we know that eventually, Reign will leave.
Alex Danvers: So, that's... that's all you can give? That's all you got?
Imra Ardeen: We really don't know much at all.

Mon-El: Reign's attacking again.
Querl Dox: I'm getting us a feed. She attacked a meth lab. The cops arrived; she attacked them, too. I'll run another scan on Kara.
Imra Ardeen: [he leaves] Mon-El.
Mon-El: We can't risk it.
Alex Danvers: Risk what?

J'onn J'onzz: Reign is finding bigger targets. She wants to teach us an abject lesson.
Alex Danvers: She's gonna cleanse the sinners of society locked away. The ones she feels were granted mercy. She's gonna hit Albatross Bay.
Mon-El: [an alert sounds] No, she's already there.
Alex Danvers: She's gonna kill everyone. Prisoners, guards, it won't matter.
J'onn J'onzz: They'll be fish in a barrel. I'll go.
Alex Danvers: No, you can't. Not alone. She's too strong.
Mon-El: [sharing a look with Imra] You know, we have been asleep for many years.
Imra Ardeen: And we ought to get some exercise.
Querl Dox: You're being facetious?
Mon-El: [amused] This guy.
