Supergirl

- - Thank you, Supergirl.

You're welcome.

[Announced please welcome president marsdin.

Good morning.

I'm happy to take any questions...

Sorry, I'm late, but I come bearing gifts.

- Were you in Russia? - Kaznia.

- Madam president? Madam president? - Ms. Danvers.

You're about to hold a summit at camp David,

on the anniversary of the alien amnesty act.

Can you say a few words

about what this legislation has meant to you the past two years?

Of course. The impact has been far-reaching and profound.

- Immigrants... - You are really good at multitasking.

- Some might call it "super." -

For the first time in my life, I've got everything under control.

We're training, people. Never charge without a plan.

Jensen, right?

Yes, director Danvers.

Let's dance.

Again.

Director Danvers. President marsdin is arriving for her yearly visit.

- When? - Uh... now.

What?

Oh, well, madam president. What a surprise.

- So it seems. - Yes, uh...

If you could just give me a minute, then I can

get cleaned up and we can chat.

Agent dox was supposed to give me a warning before you arrived.

I believe I did, right before she entered.

Was that not enough?

I just wanted to say,

with Superman off-world on argo, your team and Supergirl

have been doing a tremendous job keeping this planet safe.

And I also wanted to say,

I think that j'onn j'onzz made a very wise choice,

when he chose you as his successor.

Thank you. That means a lot to me.

Since you're here, I would love to give you a tour,

show you some of the changes that I've made.

- I'd like that. - Okay.

The way you pushed the president

about her alien delegation selection was perfect.

A reporter's job is to demand transparency.

And with that said, I'd like you to talk to the cub reporters

- who are starting today about that. - Sure.

Yeah. And didn't cat Grant recommend one to you?

Yes, her name is Nia nal.

Nia nal's gonna need a mentor like you.

You're incredible, you know that?

Everything you're going through right now.

The da possibly indicting you for being guardian,

and here you are, worrying about cub reporters.

That's because he leaves the worrying about the da to me.

You're back! How was Metropolis?

Oh, I am very happy to report

that Sam is doing amazing at I-corp northeast.

She has made two acquisitions that are already turning a profit.

- She's coaching Ruby's soccer team. - Oh...

Apparently, they're playing a 4-3-3 with a gegenpress,

- and Ruby's playing a sweeper keeper. - I have no idea what that means.

I think it means they're living happily ever after.

Well, I'll leave you two alone.

There's an article about an alien summit I have to write.

- I have missed you. - Mmm. Me, too.

James, I am worried about this thing with the da.

Mmm-hmm.

Listen, I know you have your strategy,

but I was speaking to my friends in the mayor's office,

and they said the only path out of this is to use some leverage.

Okay, they think that the da can be swayed.

- So, I was thinking that maybe I... - Lena, please.

Hey, I don't want you pulling any strings for me.

You've tried really hard

to separate yourself from the criminal element in your family.

Don't get mixed up with this.

We'll handle the da.

Look, I love the fact that you wanna fight for me.

I do.

But the only thing that I need right now,

is you by my side.

Hi. My name's kesse Kay, and I'm aquarian.

- Hi, kesse Kay. - Hi, kesse Kay.

Welcome. I'm Fiona.

What brings you to our group today?

I guess I'm just happy today, and I want to share it.

For the first time since I've been on this planet, I feel like I fit in.

And it's 'cause of this.

An image inducer.

You're not the only one who's purchased one recently.

Bought it last week,

applied for a job, and I actually got it.

All 'cause I look normal for once.

Who decides what's normal?

Why should we have to wear these devices

that change our appearance, so that we can be tolerated?

I have these tusks. Why should I hide them?

That's easy for you to say, you just look like a tolkien fan.

You haven't been job-hunting for six months,

and then been called a roach by your interviewer.

It's not easy for any of us, young man.

Dr. Vose has had his own struggles,

but his research in nuclear physics is widely admired.

And he's used his platform to become a great advocate for change.

We all must have the courage to be seen.

We each do the best we can, in our own way.

See you all next week.

Can I help you?

- Rough day, huh? -

Please don't!

Would you believe me if I told you this is no fun for me, either?

Ugh.

Maybe, a little bit of fun.

Wouldn't want you all lopsided now, would we?

- - You are such a child.

Access granted.

I don't think he wants you going in there.

- -

I didn't think you needed more of a heads-up

that the president was arriving.

You're good on your feet.

True, I process terabytes in microseconds,

but you're not so slow yourself.

You don't process as fast as you think you do.

Because I've been telling you for months

to warn me in advance when things are important.

Like, Supergirl just cratered at vose laboratories?

- I'll assemble a strike team. - There's no time.

Long live the legion.

No! Brainy!

I thought you could use some backup.

- Brainy! - It is I.

You're free now, Supergirl.

- Free? The cuffs are still... - Opened?

- Oh... - I was multitasking.

You're welcome.

Got it.

- - No!

Dr. Vose.

I came as soon as I heard. Are you all right?

They cut off my tusks, j'onn.

Maybe I was wrong. None of us are safe.

J'onn. What are you doing here?

Dr. Vose is a friend of mine. I heard the attack on the news.

He's an outspoken advocate for alien rights,

and most likely the target of a hate crime.

This wasn't a hate crime, j'onn. This was a high-level robbery.

These criminals were professionals.

They brought gravity cuffs. They stole an emp from Dr. Vose's lab.

If they blow that thing, it could take out the entire power grid.

They cut off his tusks, Supergirl.

The very thing that distinguishes him as an alien.

Yeah, to trick a biometric scan.

Look, I've been living amongst the people,

getting a feel for what's been going on.

There's a fresh wave of anti-alien sentiment. I can feel it.

Look, I'm really sorry about what happened to your friend,

but I think, in this case,

fact that he's an alien is just happenstance.

You know, I'm late for catco,

but brainy's on the case and we will find them, I promise.

All right.

I'm back, having assisted Supergirl, which was highly rewarding.

I'm very happy you were able to help.

But we seem to be having a communication problem.

Oh, no, I assure you I understand every word that comes out of your mouth.

Yes.

But you are not comprehending it.

Othennise, you wouldn't have spent the last three months

acting like a grain of sand in my boot.

- I guess that does sound annoying. - Yes.

Every time I tell you to do something you either do too little,

- or too much. - Yes, but I thought...

This isn't the legion.

Okay? You don't get to just go rogue whenever you feel like it.

So, from now on, you don't leave this building,

you don't breathe, unless I tell you to.

Is that understood?

- Affirmative. - Good.

May I breathe, now?
