The Bottle Episode

Previously on Supergirl Dark Kryptonian witches want to resurrect Reign and use her to terraform the Earth, turning it into a new Krypton.

Leviathan is coming.

You can go, Margot.

When we restarted the universe, our worlds combined.

The DEO, CatCo, all of National City is on this Earth now.

Lex Luthor has the Book of Destiny.

We thought destiny could use a little rewrite.

[SUPERGIRL]

People think Lex is a good guy?

He's the boss!

[ALEX]

He owns this place.

[LEX]

We live in a world on the cutting edge.

And as mankind advances, so too does the danger it faces.

For years, we protected America in secret.

But now, we want you to know you're in good hands.

[EXPLOSION]

- [ENGINES REVVING]

- [HELICOPTER BLADES WHIRRING]

[TIRES SCREECH]

Hope, help and compassion for all.

- That's our motto here at - The DEO.

Call us for all your extranormal needs.

Duh!

Gag me with a spoon.

I don't care what world we're on, I can't ever see a version of myself agreeing to do that commercial.

Well, on this planet, you and Lex were excellent collaborators.

No, stop!

This is literally my nightmare.

Okay, well, how do you think I feel?

I've been totally in the dark.

Thank God J'onn gave me my memories back.

Yeah, I know, I wish he could do it for everyone.

Well, according to him, restoring the world's collective memories would reconfigure relationships on such a massive scale that everyone's minds would literally be blown.

Ugh, gross.

Well, the DEO is a hellmouth now, so there's that.

- Has CatCo changed?

- Still a tabloid.

But everyone's on the Lex Luthor train, which is great.

Including Andrea.

He's getting some Man of Tomorrow award, and she sent me and William to cover it.

I uh, I can't believe even William is drinking the Lex Kool-Aid.

Well, you gotta give him a little break, okay.

The only people that know the truth are the ones whose memories have been restored.

So it's Brainy, Nia, Kelly All the heroes who helped at the Crisis, including you know who, which just makes my blood boil.

Well, the Luthors are a breed of their own.

Yeah, speaking of which, I have to talk to Lena.

Look, on this Earth, Lena and Supergirl are partners.

And as far as I'm concerned, she's not trying to mind control the planet.

Plus, she doesn't hate you, so maybe Lena not having her memories is a good thing.

No, no.

As much [SCOFFS]

as I would love to have a clean slate with Lena, I owe it to her to tell the truth.

I made that mistake once, I'm not going to do it again.

- [LEX]

Hey, there, sleepy head.

- [CHAMPAGNE BOTTLE POPS]

[LIQUID POURING]

I fried a couple of eggs for you.

Methohexital hangovers are no joke.

You must be ravenous.

This can't be real.

You're dead.

So, you remember everything?

Of course I remember!

I killed you!

Yes, that's right, you killed me.

But that is all in the past.

- [PLATE CLATTERS]

- Because I'm back now, and I forgive you.

What are you talking about?

What is happening?

Well, it was, uh sort of a Crisis.

[SIGHS]

It was an antimatter wave.

- Ah, yes.

- Alex and I worked together.

- Mmm-hmm.

- We built a portal The wave still came?

Yes, and billions were lost and the multi-verse collapsed, and it was all very interesting.

What matters now is that a very powerful person brought me back to life to help.

But I refused to do so, unless he promised that you would make it through okay, and you have, with your noggin intact.

You gambled the fate of the entire multi-verse to get your own way?

It gets better.

In this new world, we work side by side at Luthor Corp and the DEO to make the world a better place.

So I'm in hell.

No, no, you're in a new reality.

To the outside world, we're billionaire philanthropists.

It's the perfect cover.

- I want nothing to do with you.

- Ah, yes, you want to fix humanity with your project Non Nocere.

And using Myriad to broadcast the Q-waves.

That was smart.

But you should have known the moment you decided to steal from a Kryptonian, the Non Nocere was doomed.

Kara Danvers will never see things your way.

She'll always work against you.

Right, so you'll be my friend now?

The world is ours now, Lena.

You don't need a robot and you don't need friends.

You need a partner.

Imagine what we could accomplish together.

Why not give it a go?

So you think this is your world now?

You were a puppet on a string for Leviathan before.

What makes this time any different?

What the hell is Leviathan?

I want you to know I'll be doubling my efforts to calibrate my emotions with my actions.

To wit, your favorite breakfast smoothie.

And despite every urge in my corporeal being, I ordered only two.

Thanks, Brainy.

My good man, I'm picking up a to-go order for Barney Fife, - if anyone asks - Halt.

Oh, my.

What?

What is the meaning of this?

- Meaning I don't - Who are you?

- I'm Brainiac-5.

- What?

- Liar!

- You, sir, are the larcenist and pretender.

How did you accomplish this ruse?

Could it be an image inducer?

[SLAPS HAND]

The question of pretending is to you, sir!

What are you, huh?

Martian, Durlan?

Is your face made of clay?

Unhand me, you charlatan!

Okay, that's it.

I'm taking you into the DEO for questioning.

Okay, that's rich!

Guess what, I'm taking you into the DEO for questioning.

Oh, that's rich [BOTH]

Citizens arrest!

[WHOOSHES]

[SUPERGIRL]

I've been looking for you.

[LENA]

Here I am.

So, uh, there's something I have to tell you.

I know you think Lex is a good man, - that he's your partner - Save it.

I already know.

What exactly do you know?

The Crisis, what Lex did.

- What you did.

- Lex.

That you took the punch.

What did you think would happen when you came here?

That you'd tell me everything in a fit of selflessness, even if it meant that I knew how you betrayed me, and then I'd just keel over and forgive you.

Lena, I hurt you.

I I know I hurt you.

And I'm never ever going to do it again.

And I know how much good you want to do in the world.

Just think of what we could do together to help people.

Funny.

Lex gave me the same pitch.

He asked you to help him?

[SIGHS]

You're not seriously considering it, are you?

Please, just be careful.

[BRAINIAC-5]

Director Danvers!

What is going on?

[SIGHS]

Exactly the correct question.

Paradox to be sure.

There must be a reasonable explanation.

And we will get one, once you confess.

Uh, I know I'm gonna regret asking this question, but which of you is my Brainy?

[BOTH]

How can you seriously ask that?

Well Get an interrogation room ready.

I'm sorry, who the hell are you?

I'm Director Brainiac-5 of the DEO.

I am the Director of the DEO.

Why is everyone yelling!

Oh, you have got to be sprocking me!

[LAUGHS]

You're all in grave danger.

- [CHOKING]

- [ELECTRONIC DISTURBANCE]

Don't let him open the bottle.

[SUPERGIRL]

Someone killed him?

He was targeted, which means any of the others could be next.

[SUPERGIRL]

No, you weren't kidding.

[SIGHING]

No.

Thank you.

DNA doesn't lie, so you are all Brainiac-5.

This reminds me of a situation with some crabs on Helven.

[ALL]

Terrible experience.

He seems to have been killed by some sort of biosynthetic virus.

The Anti-Life Equation.

The sorry, what?

It's a techno-organic poison.

It's targeted and transmitted through the big brain.

It's really scary, man!

I've never heard of such a thing.

We're supposed to believe that you're the Brainy Prime?

Well, it's true.

He's ours.

[SIGHS]

Well, then this can't be our world.

Which means we must have stumbled through some sort of [ALL]

Dimensional wormhole.

From our different universes.

Wormhole Universes, yeah.

I'm sorry, guys, [SOFT CHUCKLE]

there's a slight crisis The only logical path forward is to find the nexus point of our arrival, if we're ever to ascertain how it is we came to be here, why our deceased comrade warned us we're in grave danger?

What that bottle was he urged us not to open?

After which, we can all safely return to our respective Earths.

[ALL]

Agreed.

Yes, except you can't return to your Earths because the multi-verse is dead.

- So.

- [BOTH]

Brainy.

Oh, uh, all right.

That is insensitive.

What?

The multi-verse, it's dead?

Unless there's a vibrational frequency henceforth unknown to man, then our universe is the only one that's left.

- [SCREEN BEEPS]

- [LEX]

Apologies for the interruption, but would Director Danvers and Supergirl, please report to the conference room immediately?

[IMITATES RETCHING]

[SUPERGIRL]

What do you want, Lex?

[BEEP]

- Peace.

- It's never gonna happen.

Look, [SIGHS]

I get it, feels icky, but why don't we think about it in another way?

Why go to war and make things messy, when we could all play a comfortable game of chess?

You could keep an eye on me, I could keep an eye on you, and in the meantime, the world would have its favorite heroes standing shoulder to shoulder to keep threats like the Anti-Monitor and Leviathan at bay.

Say, what's happening with those guys anyway?

Any rumblings?

The Anti-Monitor is gone.

And we haven't found a trace of Leviathan since the multi-verse collapsed.

So So the only threat to this world is you.

I'm sorry to hear that.

[BEEPS]

Look, take a day to think it over.

And if you choose peace, I'll expect you by my side, publicly, at the Man of Tomorrow ceremony.

But if you don't, I suppose we'll have a little more apocalypse.

[ANDREA]

Eighty-two percent of customers with cell phone plans have purchased our VR add-on.

But we can still do better.

We need to get Obsidian into every American household, and we are so close.

Quite close, indeed.

[CHUCKLE]

Wha what a pleasant surprise!

- Hi!

- Hello!

Team, this is Gemma Cooper, one of our board members and my beloved college mentor.

- [SIGHS WARMLY]

- That's all.

Thank you.

Okay, it took some technical doing, but I believe I've confirmed that We are the only Brainiac-5s that came through the wormhole, which you've now traced to Al's Bar.

Yeah, we, too, deduced that several moments ago, but hey, Al's bar, I do love their margarita mocktails.

Perhaps we should go [ELECTRONIC DISTURBANCE]

Oh!

No, no, no, no, no.

Prime, help me root out the virus.

How?

Uh, I don't [SIGHS]

Okay.

It's okay.

That's okay.

I got you.

Here we go.

[SIGHS]

- [PANICKED BREATHING]

- Okay.

You know, I could have died just there.

Thanks to your hesitancy.

We're supposed to believe that he's a Brainiac-5!

Friends, friends, focus.

The virus is transmittable from anywhere.

Any one of us could be next.

You, stay here.

We'll head down to Al's bar.

We'll get to the bottom of this.

[SIGHS]

- Okay.

- There he goes.

Handsome.

Look at him go.

I'll go get Supergirl.

[UPBEAT MUSIC PLAYING]

Hey, what's going on here Als.

Everybody just showed up out of the blue last night.

Business has never been better.

I had to open up the back room.

Has this place always been here?

Yup.

I closed it in '79 after disco died.

- How old are you?

- Shh.

These guys brought a ton of stuff with them, though.

- You guys missing anything?

- [GASPS]

What fun!

- [JINGLE PLAYING]

- [TOY SCREECHING]

Look, whatever caused that wormhole didn't just drag us through, it dragged everyone from Al's bar in each of our universes.

[BRAINY]

Oh, dear.

Are those Don't make any sudden movements.

Those are the witches that created Reign.

And tried to terraform our entire planet.

[AL]

Those aren't your witches.

They come from my world.

They came to National City as tourists and never left.

I let them run a little side hustle out of the bar.

Come forth, my children.

Have your fortune read.

I prefer to avoid such unreliable forecasting mechanisms.

Crystals balls!

Ha-ha.

A lot more real than fool's gold.

Allow me to read your stones.

Please, forgive my sisters.

Palm reading is the fastest path to your fate.

Five dollars, ten minutes.

Hmm, no thank you.

- Uh, suit yourself.

- Typical.

No one on this Earth values our gifts.

Everyone in this bar came from an Earth that was destroyed.

They're all orphans.

That's terrible.

No, Supergirl!

The entire multi-verse was destroyed.

An accident of fate kept us and these people alive.

This isn't a tragedy.

It's a, you know, it's a miracle.

Okay, we need to divide and conquer.

And please, try to blend in, because there is still a murderer out there and both of you are still in danger.

Okay?

Good.

[LENA]

I never thought I'd live to see the day my mother wore petal pink.

Technically, you didn't.

We all died.

We all came back.

And we both know it.

Lex restored your memories, too.

He told me everything.

But, evidently, the only person he makes deals with gods for is you.

I'm glad he told you everything.

I have no one else.

I hope you're not looking for a hug.

No.

But it occurred to me I could use a partner.

If Lex told you everything, then he told you my goal was to fix people at their core.

I tried to do it alone.

I closed myself off, made myself an island, and I failed.

You pushed people away and put all your faith in that robot.

[SCOFFS]

Reminds me of little Miss Pizzly.

Your teddy bear from when you were four.

Cute and useless.

We both know your ideology is of no use to me.

I've got a good thing going here.

Well, in that case Supergirl wants to partner with me.

Part of me wants to do it.

You can try to only be partners this time, but in a moment of weakness, you'll let your guard down, you'll become friends once more, and you'll be vulnerable when she hurts you all over again.

[CLICKS TONGUE]

And yet, you don't want to be an island.

No.

I will never trust Lex again.

If you choose to partner with Lex, you won't risk your emotions, because you already know you can never trust him.

I report to Lex Luthor.

This is worst-case scenario.

I don't know how I'm supposed to work for him, and yet we all know that he's this bomb that could just blow at any minute.

So, I mean, can I even really leave?

You know, long before I recruited you, an alien named Izzy was held captive by her co-worker.

Now, he'd found out what she really was and couldn't control his rage.

Izzy was naturally terrified.

But because her attacker was human, the DEO didn't have jurisdiction.

Things were different back then.

I felt so helpless.

So what did you do?

What I knew I had to do.

I disobeyed orders.

Ran in there and tackled that man to the ground myself.

Sometimes there's nothing to do but listen to the truth inside you, Alex.

The honor comes in running toward the bomb.

[BEEPS]

[BEEPS]

[BRAINIAC-5]

Seven hundred and sixty-two bottles of beer on the wall.

And they're all completely lacking in clues.

Talking to yourself.

You can talk to me instead, if you'd like.

I'm you, after all.

Ignored us all day, and now you want to talk.

I see you.

You've been one step behind the rest of us at every turn.

What is making you different?

It's not a big deal or anything, but I do wear Personality inhibitors.

I knew it.

Why would you wear those?

- For protection.

- Protection?

Personality inhibitors block you from engaging with the big brain.

They stop you from accessing your true self.

Your true potential, your true happiness.

Don't you ever feel inconsistent?

Uncertain?

Unable to balance logic and emotion?

I mean, look at you, you're not even green.

Okay, sure.

And what about the anger?

Hmm?

The rage?

I don't wear these to protect myself!

I wear them to protect the people I love.

Where I'm from, I was married.

I was stronger, smarter, better, every moment I was with her.

- You lost her?

- No.

She's with me.

She lives on in the big brain.

Just as I will, when my work here is finished.

What I'm saying is love is not meant to minimize you.

It makes you more.

More capable.

More compassionate.

And the people who really love you, they don't want this for you.

[SCOFFS AND SNIFFLES]

I appreciate the chat, Kor-El, but I feel very capable as I am.

Suit yourself.

A hologram, this whole time.

Now I see how rude that is.

[NIA]

I always thought my Brainy was one of a kind.

[SOBBING]

I'm sorry, I'm Nia.

My Brainy filled me in on everything and I just had to see you all for myself.

I brought lunch.

You hungry?

No, I [STAMMERS]

sorry.

I just wanna be alone right now.

He also said something about a bottle.

[SOFT CHUCKLE]

A bottle.

Alas [SIGHING]

You have caught me in the act.

But I'm glad.

The act was emotionally exhausting.

[METAL CLATTERS]

What's in the bottle?

Seven billion souls on my Earth.

All here.

Bottled at the source.

Moments before the antimatter wave came.

No more waiting.

[EXHALES]

Sweet release.

You bottled your world.

I saved them.

Prevented genocide.

Now, stuck in stasis, is that truly life?

Or is it just some hideous form of distasteful death?

Why don't we take it upstairs?

We can hash out the philosophy there.

There is nothing to hash.

There is only life.

[SIGHS]

And death.

Take the other Brainiac-5.

He tried to prevent me from opening this bottle, so I killed him.

Death!

But once I find the device with which to open this bottle, life [BOTH GRUNT]

[NIA]

Brainy!

Nia.

[STRAINING]

[GRUNTS]

[EVIL BRAINY]

No!

[ELECTRONIC BEEPING]

Nia.

He was piggy backing off Brainy Primes personality inhibitors to confuse the big brain and disguise his true intentions.

What were his intentions?

He shrunk his entire Earth.

He bottled it.

The shrinking and collection of worlds is distinctly Coluan.

It's a terribly common practice among our ancestors.

But this Brainy bottled his world to protect it?

Yeah, but if he releases his Earth, both Earths will be destroyed.

But he couldn't open the bottle.

Indeed, all bottles are sealed beneath the quantum level to Prevent escape.

Bottles can only be opened using a device that harnesses Argonium 44.

He must have known the Argonium Saber would be held here at the DEO.

That saber is the only one that I am aware of in the solar system.

And I destroyed it, so that bought us some time.

Brainy.

[GEMMA]

It's incredible.

It's like being on the moon.

Except for the lack of gravity.

We're still figuring that out.

But we're making incredible progress.

Progress isn't just Obsidian being in every household.

It's about every household being in Obsidian.

- What do you mean?

- Tell me something.

If you never had to work for your father, what would Andrea Rojas want to be right now?

An anthropologist.

Oh, I love it.

You can live on a sprawling hacienda, close to your latest Aztec dig site.

- It's a pleasant dream.

- Not a dream.

A reality.

In a true virtual world.

When someone holds an artifact that you found, they feel its weight in their actual hand.

Imagine a whole new world, a whole new reality for harmed and damaged people.

They can live their dream lives.

And eventually, they could stay there.

Indefinitely.

A collective of being.

A true virtual world will change the game.

What do I always tell you?

You gotta move the needle.

And with this Our share prices could double.

[SOFT CHUCKLE]

Brainy, stop.

You don't have to When I was eight years old, my family went on what humans might call a vacation.

This was the first time I had seen the snow.

It was incredible.

Why are you telling me this?

'Cause my mother saw how much I loved it.

How badly I I wanted to stay there in the snow.

And so, she bottled it for me.

- The entire planet.

- Brainy My father was horrified at what she had done.

He freed the planet.

I was so young and angry with him for taking away my planet.

My planet!

And that anger terrified him.

He feared that I, too, could hold such darkness within me.

That I could become my mother.

So he placed three personality inhibitors on me.

The same ones I wear to this very day.

Your three dots.

When I wear them, I'm not fully calibrated with the Coluan network of minds, the big brain.

If I hadn't been wearing them, that bad Brainy wouldn't have been able to fool us.

And you're afraid to take them off?

Because I might be worse.

And Nia, she She might not care for me.

Brainy, you are good to your core.

You will never be your mother.

- How could you be sure?

- Because you're loved.

And the people that love you will always fight for you.

[SIGHS]

Thank you, Kara.

Your ability to instill hope and comfort with your words is is nothing short of magic.

- Magic.

- [AL]

The witches can open the bottle.

He's going to Al's.

We have to tell the other Brainys.

No, I, I need to do this alone.

- But you should come, too.

- I'm coming.

[WITCHES CHANTING]

[ALL GRUNT]

[BREATHING HEAVILY]

Why are you helping him?

You could have a peaceful life here.

The Crisis brought us to a strange world.

If the Coluan is successful, he will return us home.

Opening that bottle isn't worth the risk.

Yes, it is.

You could kill everyone.

Why should this Earth live, when every other died?

'Cause it's the only one we've got left!

Enough talk.

It's been ages since we had a good bar fight.

[GRUNTS]

[WITCHES CHANTING]

[GRUNTS]

No, don't!

I know you lost your whole world, your friends, your home.

I miss what I had, too.

I know what you're going through.

How responsible you must feel.

You don't know anything!

But I know everything because I'm you.

I feel the darkness, too.

You've made some bad choices, but they don't have to define you.

[CRIES]

I lost everything.

It's not too late to make a different choice.

Let us help you.

My friends and I, we're pretty smart.

Together, we can find a safe place to open your bottle without hurting anyone.

[SELENA]

The suave one is right.

It is too much of a risk.

But if we give these people a chance, they may find a way of returning us home one day.

All we can do is wait for that day.

But you don't have to wait alone, we can wait with you.

[SCREAMS]

[EVIL BRAINY BREATHING HEAVILY]

[GRUNTS]

[BLOWING BUBBLES]

Supergirl and Dreamer are bringing the bottle to the fortress for safekeeping.

Which solves the problem of one errant Brainiac-5.

We were thinking that, too.

[SNAPS FINGERS]

Life projectors.

Our worlds may be gone, but the big brain remains.

A digital cloud where Ms.

Dox and I can relinquish our corporeal forms and live amongst the Coluan knowledge aggregate.

- You don't have to do that.

- We want to.

We may have lost our worlds, but existing inside of the big brain will feel like like going home.

Thank you.

Both of you.

For everything.

Thank you, Brainiac-5, and, uh, sorry for trying to take your smoothie.

[VIBRATES]

[EXHALES]

[SIGHS]

What a strange sensation.

There's something you need to know.

The reason I left the two of you to face today's threat alone is because I've been tracking Lex Luthor's every move.

He's been calling the archive for information on only one thing, Leviathan.

Leviathan is defeated.

Leviathan is everywhere.

The timeline of our worlds is closer than any other.

Events progress on the same path.

You must not make the same mistakes I made.

I fought against Lex Luthor, and it led to catastrophe beyond imagining.

It endangered the entire world.

If you're gonna save your world, you have to work with Lex Luthor.

I'll show you everything you need to know.

I'll show you everything I did wrong in my world, how bad things became.

But Kor-El.

Kor-El, you must do this alone.

No one can know that you're doing this.

You must give up everyone and everything that you hold dear.

Even Nia?

Till the world has been saved.

I'm sorry.

Kor-El, you'll never truly be alone.

[ELECTRONIC BUZZ]

- [ELECTRONIC BUZZ]

- I will be with you.

[SIGHS]

[SHUDDERING IN PAIN]

[EXHALES IN RELIEF]

Aren't you supposed to be at a ceremony or something?

Success isn't worth much if you don't have anyone to share it with.

I always wanted to share my victories with you, sis.

Even last year, with the Kasnians, I brought you in.

Doesn't that count for anything?

One moment of thoughtfulness to make up for years of betrayal?

No.

I know you have plenty of reasons to distrust me, but you don't know what it's like to die.

The sickening desperation when you see it coming for you.

It made me want to lash out.

It made me want to hurt you.

Like I hurt you.

Killed me.

But that's exactly my point.

Death truly has changed me.

The old me would be dreaming of the myriad ways I could exact my revenge on you, but the new me can see how pathetically pedestrian that is.

I'm finally ready to be a true partner, Lena.

How am I supposed to believe you?

You were a sociopath, a liar.

What you need is the truth.

The Truth Seeker will prevent me from lying.

[SWISHING]

So, sis, what do you want to know?

Can you help me achieve Non Nocere?

Better and faster than anybody else.

Will you truly be on your best behavior?

No homicides?

No unnecessary homicides.

This is about doing no harm.

But I won't.

I have everything I want except for your partnership.

When will you turn on me?

As soon as this partnership inconveniences me.

Just like you'll use Non Nocere on me as soon as you get the chance.

Good.

As long as we're clear.

You don't need me.

Why do you really want to work with me?

Truthfully, I don't want to be alone.

[KNOCK AT DOOR]

- Hey.

- Hello.

How do you feel?

- Uninhibited?

- Something like that.

You know, I'm really glad to see you so comfortable in your own skin.

It's all I ever really wanted for you was to be able to be yourself.

[EXHALES]

And now I am.

I can feel it, all through my body.

The tips of my fingers.

And now, some things are gonna have to change, Nia.

Of course.

Look, Brainy, whatever you need, we'll work it out.

Together.

Together that's That's what has to change.

- What?

- I can't be with you anymore.

I don't understand.

[EXHALES]

Who are you?

[SIGHS]

For the first time, ever, myself.

[AUDIENCE APPLAUDING]

[LENA]

Welcome, everyone.

It gives me great pleasure to be here tonight.

Hey, what are you doing over here?

I just, uh Look, I know you're gonna think I'm crazy, but I'm not so sure Lex Luthor is what he says he is.

What?

[LENA]

with the deeds of just a few people I thought you loved him like everyone else.

While I was still at The Times in London, Lex tried to buy my friend, Russell Roger's company.

Russell refused and ended up dead.

I think Lex Luthor was behind it.

Do you have any concrete evidence?

Not yet.

That's why I applied to work at CatCo, to get closer to Lena Luthor, but then she sold the company to Andrea, and now, I could use your help.

But someone has to protect the world from the Luthors.

Not the Luthors, Lex.

I know Lena.

She's in just as much danger as everyone else.

The guest of honor and I have already accomplished so much in the past.

And I'm looking forward to seeing what we will achieve in the future.

[APPLAUSE]

She was leaning towards the Kryptonian.

- You're welcome.

- You're too good to me.

We were partners when we took over the last world [LENA]

Ladies and gentlemen, allow me to introduce why shouldn't we be partners in this one, too?

[LENA]

my brother, my partner, Lex Luthor, the Man of Tomorrow.

[APPLAUSE]

Oh, how can I help you, Agent Dox?

My friends will work against you.

You know it.

I know it.

But they're shortsighted.

The true threat.

The The only threat that matters is Leviathan.

I'd like to help you defeat them.

Well that's good to hear.

But no information about Leviathan exists in this new world at this time.

I need knowledge from the future.

I have reason to believe a particular doppelganger came through the wormhole.

He's already been arrested, but if we play our cards right, we can bring the future to us.
