Supergirl

When I was a child, my world ended.

But I was saved.

Sent to Earth to protect my baby cousin, Kal-El.

But Krypton's destruction sent a shockwave

that knocked my ship off-course,

into the Phantom Zone.

Somehow, my pod got loose,

and I made the long journey to Earth.

Though I was still a child when I arrived,

my cousin had already grown up to become

Superman.

I hid who I really was until one day,

my adoptive sister Alex was in danger,

and I was forced to reveal myself to the world.

From that day on, I became Supergirl.

Now, I work in secret with my sister and the DEO

to fight alien menaces that threaten the Earth

and others that would cause my city harm.

I have friends.

And allies.

I have a family.

After so many years of being lost,

I am finally home.

Three, two, one!

- To Supergirl. - No, no. Wait, wait.

To family. Love bonds us all.

To family.

Whoa!

- What was that? - What the hell?

Nothing good.

We need to stop it, or there could be major casualties.

I've got it.

I've almost got it.

Ahh!

I've got him. Supergirl, go!

That pod...

It's identical to mine.

It's from Krypton.

Supergirl, be careful.

You don't know what's in there.

Oh, my God.

Where are we?

The Department of Extra-Normal Operations.

Wait! Wait, wait, wait.

This has always been here? With the glass

and the views and...

And you made me fly to that cave every day!

DEO has several facilities, Kara.

A bat bit me in the last one.

Whiner.

Hey, sis.

You knew about this place, too?

Yeah, it's like a block from my apartment.

It's kind of like the old place. Maybe better.

Well, where's the man who fell to Earth?

He has to be from Krypton.

He must have escaped before the planet exploded,

like Clark and I did.

He's comatose.

His vitals are stable. Breathing is normal.

There's nothing else we can really learn from him because...

That proves he's from Krypton.

It only proves he's not human,

which means he could be dangerous.

Sir, I would request that Winn help with the investigation.

We need someone to analyze the pod's telemetry,

and Winn does read Kryptonian.

I got bored. I thought I'd pick up a new language.

Space talk!

You want to prove your worth, Mr. Schott?

Find out something my team

of highly trained alien experts can't.

Challenge accepted.

Let's go.

We'll figure it out, Kara. I promise.

So, are you watching the Venture launch tonight?

No, actually,

James and I are going on our first date.

It's gonna be great.

We are finally both free and clear to just hang out.

No aliens trying to destroy the Earth.

Just him and me, together like normal people, doing what people do on dates.

Okay.

- What? - What, what?

You're doing that thing where you say "Okay,"

but you're not actually okay.

Because you're doing that thing where you are

super overeager, which means that you really aren't,

but you're trying to convince yourself that you are.

I am not doing that thing.

That's... I'm excited.

This is me excited.

Mmm-hmm.

And this is Ms. Grant texting me.

I'm not her assistant anymore.

I have to go.

We are just hours away from the launch of Venture,

the first commercial spacecraft

designed for suborbital transportation.

You wanted to see me, Ms. Grant?

They offered me a seat on the Venture,

but I turned them down.

What would I possibly have in common

with a bunch of rich people in a rocket ship

seeking existential answers to their meaningless lives?

Speaking of which, what's your answer?

Wha...

- What's the question? - Your vocation. What is it?

Oh, you mean what job do I want?

Um, well...

I don't know. I haven't really decided yet.

Why not?

Well, it's only been 12 hours

since you asked me to choose a new position,

and then most of those hours I was asleep.

Really?

I offer you the keys to the kingdom,

and you just go to sleep?

It was nighttime.

How many hours do you think I slept last night, Ker-rah?

Two.

Because I care about making the most out of my life.

I squeeze every drop out of every single day.

- Sleeping is for slackers. - Right.

Well, I did do this online quiz

where, you know, you list all your skills,

and then it uses this kind of algorithm

to calculate your ideal career.

And mine was marketing.

Mmm.

And according to the Catco website,

marketing ranks high in potential salary,

future growth and, interestingly enough,

work-life balance which...

What do you think?

I think that it is the most pathetic thing I have ever heard.

Oh, okay.

You can't Internet search a calling, Ker-rah.

A calling is something that is within you.

Do you think that Supergirl is a hero

because flying is one of her skills? No.

She's a hero because she has a need.

To help people, to protect the planet.

Look inward,

and figure out what Kara Danvers needs to do with her life.

I am granting you two more days, as in 48 hours,

and whatever you do, don't come back

with the results of a Rorschach test.

Ms. Tessmacher!

Yes, Ms. Grant.

Does this dressing look drizzled on?

- Yes. - No.

No, this lettuce is drowning.

It's floating on a sea of ranch,

like little Kate Winslet's in Titanic.

Get it out of my sight.

This is the best replacement for you

you could come up with?

Just give her a chance, please.

She is so smart and sweet.

She went to Yale.

So did George Bush.

Now get out and dig deep.

Hi.

Hi.

That dress is amazing.

Oh, this dress? It's...

I had this on all day.

Do you...

I didn't know if you wanted to stay in or go out, so I...

Options.

Pizza and potstickers.

Pizza and potstickers is my most favorite meal.

Which I know about you.

Um, I'm surprised you don't have the Venture launch on.

I know how into the space program you are.

Oh, that's not a big deal.

Kara, you can put it on, it's fine.

Well, maybe I'll just put it on without the sound.

Yeah, I understand, Mr. White.

No, Mr. White.

Yes, Mr. White.

Yes, I will have my article on your desk lickety-split.

Yes, sir, I know that no one says "lickety-split" anymore.

Although, you do still say "Great Caesar's ghost,"

which is a bit of a throwback.

Yes, sir, I'm very aware that we're not talking about you.

Yes, sir. Yes, I will have that to you.

Hello?

Hang on, we're hearing of a possible explosion

aboard the Venture.

Here's all we know at this time.

There are over 200 people aboard the craft.

There are no further details,

but keep it right here, and we'll continue to bring you the very latest.

We can only hope wherever he is, he's seeing this.

I pray she's watching this.

She is.

Mayday. Mayday.

We have experienced a hull breach
