Quotes 

• Astra : Do not mistake my compassion for weakness. This is not a truce.

• Supergirl : Where did Non take Henshaw?

  Astra : I spent years in Fort Rozz. It's to take more than a stern voice to scare me.

  Supergirl : Maybe I'll have my cousin come down and the two of us can force you to talk.

  Astra : Kal-El doesn't have the stomach for it. He was raised on Earth. He might as well be human. You are the true heir to the House of El.

• Astra : [after revelation]  Your mother never stopped believing in me. You are so much like her, Kara.

  Supergirl : [sniffles]  It's not too late, Astra. Please tell me where Henshaw is.

  Astra : The only way to save him is to make the trade.

  [looks down] 

  Astra : The humans will never agree to that.

  Supergirl : [rises, sighs]  Then it's a good thing I'm not human.

• Supergirl : My mother may not have been the person that I thought she was, but I know what you and Non are.

  Astra : Are you so certain of that? Did Non kill you today when he had the chance? I ordered him to spare you. Because blood bonds us all.

  Supergirl : Those are empty words coming from you.

  Astra : If they were, you would not be alive.

  Supergirl : If blood bonds us all, then why don't you just tell me where Henshaw is?

  Astra : Because blood doesn't bond us to him.

  Supergirl : I couldn't disagree more. All life is bonded by blood.

  Astra : You speak of your human family. The ones who have caged me in here.

  Supergirl : You've done this to yourself.

  Astra : Then you have chosen your side.
