Quotes 

• Lena Luthor : I heard about Jeremiah. I came to offer up sympathies. "Offer up my sympathies." God, I sound like an android.

  Kara Danvers : No. No, you said it like someone who's afraid to confront the woman who called you a villain.

  Lena Luthor : My mother died when I was very young. And I'm... I know that pales in comparison to the losses that you've suffered, but I know it doesn't get any easier. I'm sorry.

  Kara Danvers : Thank you for saying that. That means a lot coming from you.

  Lena Luthor : Um...

  [taking a book out of her purse] 

  Lena Luthor : This helped me a lot with memories of my mother and other family difficulties.

  Kara Danvers : Well, if it helped with Luthor family difficulties, I'm sure it'll help me a lot. Thank you.

• Lena Luthor : I use a Q-wave broadcast to remotely access patients' brain activity. It's being interrupted by an overlapping signal.

  Lex Luthor : How could someone suppress Q-waves?

  Lena Luthor : I recognize the signature of this interruption. It's Myriad. Yesterday, I thought I had an honest conversation with Supergirl, and today I find out that she's using Myriad to interrupt my experiments? The very device she told me was too dangerous for anyone to use.

  Lex Luthor : You saw Supergirl yesterday? I could always just go to the Fortress, if you told me where it was, and turn off Myriad before she interferes again.

  Lena Luthor : No, you'll set off the El protocol.

  Lex Luthor : This is a new world. One where Luthors and Kryptonians work together. The fortress security won't be programmed to attack us.

  Lena Luthor : If she's using Myriad, I wanna see it for myself. Besides, you at the Fortress sounds apocalyptic.

• Lena Luthor : You are using Myriad.

  Supergirl : Lena, what are you doing here?

  Lena Luthor : Question is, what are you doing here, Supergirl? I thought it was forbidden to use Myriad, but forbidden for anyone but you.

  Supergirl : There are people missing, dozens of them stuck in Obsidian's VR. I have to find them.

  Lena Luthor : There are other ways to find people than Myriad. I can think of four off the top of my head, but you, you do what you want.

  Supergirl : What I'm doing is finding people your brother disappeared.

  Lena Luthor : Do you have any proof that it was Lex?

  [seeing the answer in her face] 

  Lena Luthor : No, I didn't think so. You just return to your default position of blaming a Luthor. You did tell me you'd treat me like a villain.

  Supergirl : If you acted like one, yeah, I did say that. And right now, you're trespassing, and I don't have time for this. You need to go.

  Lena Luthor : I'll leave when you stop using Myriad.

  Supergirl : That's not gonna happen.

  Lena Luthor : To think that I was sincere with you yesterday. Then I guess you're used to being two-faced.

• Lena Luthor : You were a puppet on a string for Leviathan before. What makes this time any different?

  Lex Luthor : What the hell is Leviathan?

  Lena Luthor : You see, that's the thing about narcissists. You're so focused on yourself, you can never see that you're the mark. Your little fangirl was working for Leviathan the entire time she was working you.

  Lex Luthor : Ms. Tessmacher. And what exactly does Leviathan want?

  Lena Luthor : No one knows. They're behind seismic catastrophes, earthquakes, floods, plagues. They're alien, ancient, and all-powerful. If it wasn't for your hubris, you would've seen that they were playing you.

  Lex Luthor : All right, Lena. You've had your fun letting me know I let my eye off the ball. I'll admit this Leviathan is... irritating.

  Lena Luthor : And what are you gonna do?

  Lex Luthor : Exterminate them.
