Katie McGrath: Lena Luthor

Quotes 

• Lex Luthor : Peace at last. It took a bit of persuading, but the prisoners have been pacified and neutralized. They're ready for the next round.

  Lena Luthor : [smashing a hard drive on the floor]  Non Nocere is dead. It doesn't work. It can't. It never could. Pain is a necessary part of being human, of... of life. And I was delusional to think that I could save people, or fix it. Humanity will always try to protect itself, to evolve. You can't stop that. You saw Steve, how helpless he was, all because of me.

  Lex Luthor : I was rooting for you, Lena. But I have to agree. Humanity can't be fixed. They need to be controlled. Leviathan may be our biggest threat, but they were right about one thing. Humanity needs to firm hand to guide it. To lead it. And not some arrogant alien. It needs to be human.

  Lena Luthor : You mean a Luthor.

  Lex Luthor : Think of all that we could accomplish together, if we just take our rightful place as humanity's saviors.

  Lena Luthor : Saviors? Of course. You never change. This was always all about you, your megalomania. You... knew my plan wouldn't work, that it was doomed. You were counting on it.

  Lex Luthor : HOW DARE YOU? I GAVE YOU THE WORLD! EVERYTHING! I supported you. I sabotaged *nothing*, touched *nothing*. I set aside my own goals for you. Because you needed to see your little project fail with your own eyes. To know the true depravity of humanity. To know that my way was the *ONLY WAY*!

  Lena Luthor : You're a monster. But that doesn't mean I have to be one, too.

• Lena Luthor : I have made a terrible mistake. I was hurt. I was so hurt. And... I thought I could get rid of the hurt. I thought that I knew better, that I could make the world a better place. But I was wrong. That hurt, um, took me down a dark, dark path, where I was blind to what I was really doing, to what I'd become. You were right. This whole time I became a villain, and then... I'm not looking for forgiveness. I'm... I know what I said and I know what I did, but I am... I am really hoping that you will believe me right now. Okay? Lex is working with Leviathan, and they are going to use Obsidian to do something terrible... using the system that I made with my project. I didn't know I was helping them, but I did. And... now I want to help stop them, so... please, okay? I want to help stop Lex and Leviathan.

  Kara Danvers : [pulling out a chair]  Sit down.
