Quotes 

• J'onn J'onzz : [watching Nia in a dream-state]  Does it usually take this long?

  Kara Danvers : The dreaming? Her handling of the dreamscape is getting faster, but the Elite could be anywhere.

  J'onn J'onzz : Have you told her she doesn't have to wear the suit in private?

  Kara Danvers : It's just a phase. I did the same thing when I became Supergirl. I practically slept in my suit. And, I mean, let's face it. The suits are pretty cool.

• J'onn J'onzz : Where are the Elite?

  Menagerie : Like I'd tell you.

  Dreamer : [conjuring an energy ball]  Tell us or eat this.

  Supergirl : Hey, Dreamer. Easy.

  Dreamer : I thought that you said being a superhero was about showing strength.

  Supergirl : Well, I meant more "hands on hips", not "screaming in face".

  Dreamer : Gotcha.

• Kara Danvers : I circled the Earth twice east to west.

  J'onn J'onzz : North to south for me. And?

  Kara Danvers : No sign of the Elite anywhere. I should have dealt with this Manchester business when I had the chance.

  J'onn J'onzz : You brought him to the police. What more could you have done?

  Kara Danvers : Now the Elite are as bad as Lockwood and his Liberty fanatics. Look, all that matters now is that we find them and we end this.

  Dreamer : A classic superhero speech. Just, first, we should really do something about Menagerie. There's only so much footwear advice I can take.

  Menagerie : Gucci all day and Prada all night.

• J'onn J'onzz : The Elite can't run forever. Tell us where they are and we might go easy on you.

  Menagerie : If you touch one scale on my body, my friends *might* transport you to a fifth dimension of pain.

  J'onn J'onzz : [threateningly, as his eyes turn red]  Last chance. WHERE IS MANCHESTER?

• Kara Danvers : J'onn, the Elite really seem to be getting to you. What's wrong?

  J'onn J'onzz : Manchester brings out feelings in me that I haven't felt in a very long time. I don't like feeling like this. Like I could... lose control. And I just don't know where it's coming from.

  Kara Danvers : We all have people that push our buttons, J'onn. It's natural.

  J'onn J'onzz : Yeah. Manchester gets under my skin.

  Kara Danvers : Well, good thing Martians have thick skin.

• Ben Lockwood : Listen, I, uh, don't really want to talk about the Elite or their assassination attempt on me last night. Instead, I would like to discuss with you what I was prevented from announcing. My drive to repeal the Alien Amnesty Act. Because, for too long, alien criminals have come down to this planet, and they have been given amnesty. They've been given protection, when we are the ones that need protecting. We are the ones who have been suffering, not them. With the repeal of the Alien Amnesty Act, I propose that we send these invaders back to the planets that they came from, allowing us to finally live in peace. I would like to invite you to a rally tomorrow in the main concourse of this very building, where I will share with you what I intend to share with Congress.

  Kara Danvers : [watching on TV]  He can't do that. Tell me Ben Lockwood cannot repeal a congressional act.

  J'onn J'onzz : No, but he can try and sway the will of the people.

  Kara Danvers : Well, he's just begging the Elite to take another whack at him.

  J'onn J'onzz : Which is why we have to find them before his rally. If only we knew where to look.

  Dreamer : [waking up]  The balcony. Across from the Alien Affairs building.

  Kara Danvers : The same place as last night?

  Dreamer : I saw it in my dream. And returning to the scene of the crime is a classic bad guy move.

• J'onn J'onzz : Damn it.

  Supergirl : Dreamer said they'd be here.

  J'onn J'onzz : Dreams are interpretive. Maybe something about them is here.

  Supergirl : [spotting something with her x-ray vision]  Part of them is.

  [picking up a broken claw] 

  Supergirl : Ugh.

  J'onn J'onzz : A Morae's claw.

  Supergirl : You can use that to track the Morae psychically, right?

  J'onn J'onzz : Yeah.

• J'onn J'onzz : I can feel the Morae, but I can't see her. Something's blocking me.

  Dreamer : I have an idea.

  [she uses her powers to amplify his; her essence follows Black in the Fortress] 

  J'onn J'onzz : [to the invisible Morae]  I don't quite get what you're saying, but I hear you about Hat. Too many cooks spoil the broth.

  [blowing dust off a utility belt] 

  Manchester Black : Hmm.

  [as he puts it on and presses a button, a force field activates] 

  Manchester Black : That's keen.

  Dreamer : [the dream ends]  We need to get Supergirl now.

• Manchester Black : Something tells me the thing we're looking for is right around this corner.

  J'onn J'onzz : [entering behind him]  Manchester! It's over!

  [they fly away in combat; elsewhere, Supergirl uses her freeze breath to render the Morae visible] 

  Dreamer : [conjuring an energy ball]  Yield or die.

  Supergirl : Just take it down to, like, a... a seven.

  Dreamer : Yield or else.

• Manchester Black : [J'onn phases so his blaster fire passes through him]  That's new.

  [J'onn knocks him backwards] 

  Manchester Black : Oof. Fun toys she's got here.

  J'onn J'onzz : This ends right now.

  Manchester Black : You got that right.

  J'onn J'onzz : [Black opens a nearby door, and a monster inside growls]  Manchester, no!

  [Black runs inside, the door closing behind him] 

• J'onn J'onzz : Still can't believe it.

  [Kara hands him a cup of coffee] 

  J'onn J'onzz : Thank you. He just ran straight into the room. He wouldn't stop.

  Dreamer : What was in there?

  Kara Danvers : A baby sun-eater. Kal's. It feeds on the chemical mass of small stars, so it's basically a living bomb.

• J'onn J'onzz : It's strange. I've always been able to sense Manchester, feel his rage, his anger, but... I can't anymore. It's almost like a weight has been lifted. I almost feel...

  Dreamer : Relieved?

  [J'onn is surprised] 

  Dreamer : Sometimes we don't realize the impact people have had on us until they're gone, for good or bad.

  J'onn J'onzz : Thank you. Both of you. Maybe now he can find some peace. Still, the Hat's out there, and we have a job to do. I may not have a totem, but I can still try searching for him psychically.

  Dreamer : What about us?

  Kara Danvers : We monitor the news and see if anything pops up.

• J'onn J'onzz : I have nothing. Hat must be hiding in the Fifth Dimension. The energy there makes him untraceable.

  Querl Dox : Uh, yes, I heard about Manchester's passing. Um, the Legion ring he... he took, my ring, was it...

  [from the awkward silence, he realizes the answer is no] 

  Querl Dox : Oh. Well. That's put to bed now.

• Querl Dox : It's the march today, isn't it? Will you all be joining?

  J'onn J'onzz : You know, I think we could all use some peaceful protest today. Yeah, I'll be there.

  Querl Dox : Wonderful. Kara? Nia? Uh, Dreamer?

  Kara Danvers : Uh, yes, I think we should definitely be there.

  Querl Dox : Huzzah!

  Kara Danvers : To patrol.

  Querl Dox : What?

  Dreamer : [he turns to look at her]  Dreamer stands with Supergirl. Just gotta stretch first.
