Querl Dox : Thank god for selfie culture. Because of this generation's constant need to live stream everything, we've got a clear image of your attacker. And I knew I had seen that face before. Do you recall Antioch, 526 AD?
Lena Luthor : It was an earthquake. It was the eighth-largest natural disaster in modern history.
Querl Dox : Precisely. It's good to have you back, Lena. A myth was born that this man was the cause. Now, of course, scientists insisted that the natural disasters were natural, but in an ironic twist of history, they were wrong, and the fearmongers were right. Several reliable sources place this man at the scene of the crime throughout history. Pompeii, the Yellow River flood of 1887, the Bhola cyclone, even as far back as Noah's flood, this Earth-Bender has been spotted.
Alex Danvers : Excuse me, did you say "Earth-Bender"?
Querl Dox : How else would you describe him? He... he literally manipulates the earth.
Supergirl : But wait. Pompeii, Noah's flood? I mean, what is he, thousands of years old?
Querl Dox : Correct. Which means he's an alien with powers of longevity this civilization has never conceived of.
Alex Danvers : No wonder people thought he was a myth.
Lena Luthor : With all this destruction, his existence is still shrouded in mystery. He's managed to convince the world he doesn't exist.

Alex Danvers : This is it?
Querl Dox : Choosing an unobtrusive structure is how Leviathan keeps their base a secret. Except from me. I must tell you that in the wake of the explosion, it is as if the peripheral vision of my mind has expanded. I can now see 20/20 out of the corner of each metaphorical eye. Which is how I saw, when examining Rip Roar's tech, some peculiar markings on his headpiece. When joined together, it formed a symbol that can be seen countless times throughout history. A symbol that has been seen at disasters and catastrophes, events of mass destruction. A symbol that has connected to Rama Khan and Leviathan, but also... every Tuesday before Pilates, I get a morning tea and croissant at a delightful patisserie right past this building.
Alex Danvers : Okay, let's just hope that you are right. But, look, this is a fact-finding mission, so please just... be cool.
Querl Dox : I am cool. You see, I chose this coffee shop because of its close proximity to National City's ancient tar pits, a site of great importance in history, but also a site of terrible eruption. You see, despite its sulfuric scent, its emitted energy boosts my brain function. And I believe Leviathan has picked this building for the very same reason. The ancient energy.
[finding a symbol on a pillar]
Querl Dox : Behold. The same symbol appears on this building's cornerstone.
Alex Danvers : It's impressive.
Querl Dox : Not just impressive. Very impressive.

Alex Danvers : [surviving a bomb blast] Are you okay? Are you... you hurt?
Querl Dox : I am intact. You're the fragile human. Are you harmed?
Alex Danvers : I don't think so. But I am furious. They dangled Rip Roar knowing that we would take the bait, and now we've got nothing.
Querl Dox : Not nothing. We still have Rip Roar's armor. We should start studying it immediately.
-
Alex Danvers : Tell us exactly what happened.
J'onn J'onzz : I already told you, I'm fine. Alex, you should be tracking Leviathan.
Alex Danvers : Yes, and Rip Roar, but Brainy's on that, so just stop deflecting.
-
Querl Dox : The word "Leviathan" occurs six times in the Hebrew Bible. Never once does it appear in any historical scientific literature.
Alex Danvers : So how are we supposed to fight a highly secretive, thousand-year-old alien with powers that we have no idea how to beat?
Lena Luthor : Well, I know one person who spent his life fighting aliens, both real and imagined.
Supergirl : Your brother.
Lena Luthor : I know most of his minor weapons are in Fort Summit, but his truly horrendous ones, they were all destroyed by Superman.
Supergirl : That's not necessarily true. A lot of Lex's weapons are in the Fortress of Solitude.
[seeing her look of surprised shock]
Supergirl : Oh, it... it's a place Superman created. We keep things there that can harm us.
Lena Luthor : Well, you just go to the Fortress, and I'll give you a list of every weapon that Lex ever created.
Supergirl : Why don't you come with me? I mean, there's no telling what weapons we'll encounter.
Alex Danvers : And then Brainy and I will stay here, and we'll continue our search for Rip Roar and this Earth-Bender.
Querl Dox : Supergirl, remember the strongest, most potent weapon is knowledge. So send me whatever you can find from the Fortress database.

J'onn J'onzz : Before I fell, I was seized by another vision of Malefic.
Supergirl : Another? You've had more of these?
J'onn J'onzz : Yesterday. I felt Malefic during the psychic attack. It's as if I can sense him all around me.
Alex Danvers : But how? We sent him to the Phantom Zone.
J'onn J'onzz : All I can think is these flashes are... maybe symptoms of my guilt. I know we had no choice but to send Malefic back to the Phantom Zone, but... I mean, he's too dangerous to be contained here on Earth. Even so, I can't help feeling I've wronged my brother again. This is the third time he's been sentenced to confinement by my hand.
Supergirl : No, your brother made his own decisions. You can't blame yourself for that. But it seems like you're going through some sort of trauma.
Alex Danvers : Maybe Kelly can help.
J'onn J'onzz : She can't provide the help I need. I'll deal with this the Martian way.
-
Alex Danvers : Anything?
Querl Dox : I went back to the scene of Lena's attack and collected samples of the soil. I am also scanning for the Earth-Bender's seismic wave signature. Nothing so far.
Alex Danvers : [a dot pops up on the map] Earth-Bender?
Querl Dox : It's Rip Roar. We found him.
-
Alex Danvers : Look, I really appreciate being taken care of. I'm so used to doing all this by myself. But being with you, it... it feels like home.
[seeing Kelly's face]
Alex Danvers : What's wrong?
Kelly Olsen : When Nia texted me that you were hurt, my stomach dropped, and I checked my phone for a text, and there was nothing there, so I assumed the worst. Because I've been through the worst, and this isn't the first time that I've been terrified. Last week, I thought that I was gonna lose you. But then you got me that helmet, and you were so wonderful and so excited. And so I pushed past my fears, and I convinced myself that I can handle it all.
[her voice starts to break]
Kelly Olsen : But I'm not that strong. And I would never ask you to change, or ask you to deny the amazing and brave woman that you are.
Alex Danvers : Kelly, what... what are you saying?
Kelly Olsen : I... I can't.
Querl Dox : [entering] Leviathan. I... I think I have their location. We must leave immediately.
-
Querl Dox : Cloaking tech. In order to eliminate this barrier, we'll have to hit it with something similar to the creator... something ancient. I've got it. The dust from the majestic tar pits emits Veridian, redistributing power, and...
[blowing dust on the elevator panel, revealing a hidden button]
Alex Danvers : No, no, no. Don't push it yet!
[he does, and the elevator beings to move]
Alex Danvers : If this elevator leads to where you think it's going, we're gonna need Supergirl.
-
Alex Danvers : [recuperating in sickbay at the DEO] Kelly. What are you doing here?
Kelly Olsen : Brainy texted Nia that you were both involved in an explosion. So I rushed over.
Alex Danvers : Really, you have... you have nothing... you have nothing to worry about. No, no. No, don't do that. Don't... don't cry. Because if you cry, then I'm gonna cry, and you know I really hate crying at work.
