Quotes 

• J'onn J'onzz : Wait a minute. These people will all think Lex saved them.

  Supergirl : Wasn't Lex the one who put 'em in here?

  William Dey : Apparently not. Listen to this.

  Margot : [he shows them his phone]  Amy Sapphire was right. Technology is the greatest evil mankind has ever faced. I will continue her work by killing people until the world wakes up from its apathy.

  William Dey : She was an acolyte of Amy Sapphire's. She'd been kidnapping Obsidian Platinum users for weeks. Took full responsibility. I was sure Lex was behind this.

  J'onn J'onzz : Yeah. We all were.

  Supergirl : I don't understand. Lex, a real hero? How could this be true?

• Alex Danvers : Hey, any luck with the warehouse?

  Supergirl : It was empty.

  J'onn J'onzz : I was able to pick up Richard Bates' psychic signal, along with dozens of other people in that warehouse. But when I tried to connect, there was some kind of interference.

  Querl Dox : [entering]  It's because Obsidian is adding Platinum users by the minute. The lenses interface with the brain by using Q-waves, which operate on a similar frequency as Malefic's Martian brain.

  J'onn J'onzz : Just as I can't connect to Mal, I can't find those missing people.

  Querl Dox : You can connect with them... by using Myriad. Lena wanted to use Myriad to disperse her Q-wave mind control, but if you turn it on in reverse, it will compress the Q-waves in the atmosphere, making it possible for you to track the psychic signatures.

  Supergirl : And it wouldn't be dangerous?

  Querl Dox : In your hands, no.

  Supergirl : Then I'll go. But I don't like it.

• Alex Danvers : Supergirl? Supergirl, are you there?

  J'onn J'onzz : The Sun-Eater must've absorbed her power.

  Alex Danvers : Okay, well, we need to save her. Like, now.

  Querl Dox : We can use a Lexosuit from the DEO. If we recalibrate the suit's internal radiation to 1,000 watts per meter, it will act like a mini sunlight chamber. We'll get it and bring it to the Fortress.

  J'onn J'onzz : [surprised to see M'gann land behind them]  M'gann?

  M'gann M'orzz : J'onn, your brother felt the Q-waves on Mars and sent me. My ship is armed with hydrogen weapons we can use to stop the Sun-Eater.

  J'onn J'onzz : Han Solo never looked so good.

  Querl Dox : That was a "Star Wars" reference.

  Alex Danvers : I know it. I know. Yeah.

• Supergirl : Lex, a real hero? How can this be true?

  Lex Luthor : If you weren't so obsessed with trying to persecute me, you might see that on this Earth, I've always been the hero. All these people say so. But I guess we're all heroes today, since I'm assuming you and your friends dealt with the big blackout. You're not gonna try and pin that on me, are you?

  Supergirl : No. That was Leviathan.

  Lex Luthor : The same Leviathan that I told you would be a problem months ago? Perhaps if you listened to me and tried to work with me, we could stop these dangerous organizations before they try to blot out the sun. So, do you know what they want, or where their base is?

  J'onn J'onzz : Not yet. But we will.

  Supergirl : We're going to stop them.

• Alex Danvers : Why is this taking so long?

  Querl Dox : It takes several minutes for Myriad to suppress the Q-waves long enough for J'onn to see clearly.

  Alex Danvers : [hearing the Sun-Eater's roar]  What is that?

  J'onn J'onzz : A Sun-Eater.

  Querl Dox : That's impossible. The only one in the system...

  [realizing] 

  Querl Dox : ...is the baby from the Fortress of Solitude.
