Brainiac-5 : We were only able to obtain a small sample of Supergirl's DNA. This will require all of it.
Alex Danvers : So we'd better make it count.
Kelly Olsen : Okay, the Q-wave interface is live.
Lena Luthor : [seeing their captive react] Our Phantom's got Supergirl's scent. Once we get to the Phantom Zone, his Q-waves will lead us directly to Supergirl's position.
Brainiac-5 : Impressive. You guys did all this science stuff without me.
Dreamer : But what if we run into less... tame Phantoms out there?
Alex Danvers : The Tower's shields should cloak us, but it's still going to be dangerous.
J'onn J'onnz : That's because we can't count on the same methods we used to fight the Phantoms here. Based on what I've learned from Silas and Malefic, the Phantoms' powers work differently in their native dimension. There, they attack with fear visions, your deepest dread brought to life.
Brainiac-5 : Like a Dementor.
Dreamer : Or a Boggart.
Brainiac-5 : Or Harry's Dementor Boggart. You understand?
Alex Danvers : Yes. Uh, yeah.
Dreamer : So, uh, Kelly, you gonna teach us how to cast a Patronus to fight 'em?
Kelly Olsen : Well, all my fear management strategies may not be magic, they are the next best thing. In therapy, we use grounding techniques to help people regain control in traumatic situations. You start by naming things that you can see, touch, hear, smell, that you know are real.
Brainiac-5 : Computer, electrons, filtered oxygen. Pizza residue.
Kelly Olsen : [Alex swats his hand away, annoyed] Okay, that's a good example. And if one of your fears should suddenly show up and they're not one of those things...
Lena Luthor : Then you'll be able to separate the visions from reality. Take back control from the Phantoms.

Brainiac-5 : May I just say I'm quite glad to have you aboard this mission.
Kelly Olsen : That's kind of you. I'm just trying to stay out of the way until it's time for me to help Supergirl.
Brainiac-5 : On the contrary, I've been challenged by my emotion of late. Okay, always. And given the imminent risk of a Phantom-induced response, I'd greatly value your expertise.
Kelly Olsen : Well, hopefully, everything goes according to plan and you won't need it.
Brainiac-5 : Mm.
Kelly Olsen : I'm good with never seeing a Phantom again.
Brainiac-5 : This is your first time back in the Tower since...
Kelly Olsen : The Phantom attack on M'gann. Yeah. I'm not gonna lie. I feel a little out of my depth. I mean, you are all superheroes, and I'm just...
Brainiac-5 : The one keeping us all from losing our minds.

Alex Danvers : [after being infected by a Phantom] This is all my fault. If I had just listened to J'onn and gone into containment in time, I...
[getting an idea]
Alex Danvers : But it's not too late. I am not gonna be the reason that Kara is trapped in here.
Kelly Olsen : [seeing her head to the airlock] Alex. Alex, what are you doing?
Alex Danvers : As long as I am on board, I am the problem. You could all die and we lose Kara forever.
Brainiac-5 : If you open that airlock, we'll lose you forever.
Alex Danvers : I thought I was the one that was vital to rescuing Supergirl, but it's the opposite. I was so wrong. But I can draw the Phantoms away, and you can save her without me.
Kelly Olsen : There has to be something else.
Alex Danvers : There is no other way to save you... and Kara.
Kelly Olsen : No, you can't leave me.

Kelly Olsen : Hey, guys, you weren't answering. Is there something wrong with the unit?
[seeing the color of their eyes]
Kelly Olsen : Lena? Dreamer?
Lena Luthor , Nia Nal : So glad you could join us.
Kelly Olsen : Oh, no. Alex, the Phantom is trying to breach the containment unit. And it's possessed Lena and Nia. Alex!
[they begin to advance on her]
Kelly Olsen : Come on. Lena, Nia. Snap out of it! Remember what's real. Let me help you.
[another flashlight spins around on the ground]
Kelly Olsen : Alex?
[seeing she's possessed, too]
Kelly Olsen : Alex.
Lena Luthor , Nia Nal , Alex Danvers : It's pointless, Kelly. Why bother trying? The Phantom will take us all.
Kelly Olsen : [into her comms] J'onn, Brainy, the Phantom is trying to get loose. J'onn!
Lena Luthor , Nia Nal , Alex Danvers : J'onn and Brainy are already gone. They couldn't fight it, and neither can you.
Kelly Olsen : No. No! Alex... please. If you are still in there, please hear me.
Lena Luthor , Nia Nal , Alex Danvers : We hear you. We see you. Exactly as you are, Kelly Olsen. Weak. Human. We are heroes with unparalleled intellects, incredible strength. And yet we all succumbed. What chance do you stand?

Dreamer : One sample of Kara blood fresh out of Midvale.
Alex Danvers : Ah! Finally.
Brainiac-5 : Why, yes. We did just traverse time and space to get this. No big deal.
Alex Danvers : And thanks to you, we now have the last piece of our rescue mission.
Brainiac-5 : Ah.
Dreamer : Wait. How long we were gone?
Kelly Olsen : About three days.
Brainiac-5 : Three days? Sprock! I am a terrible time traveler.
Lena Luthor : Well, we put the time to good use. We're now fully equipped for the Phantom Zone.
J'onn J'onnz : And M'gann is already patrolling to protect National City in our absence. Everything is ready to go.
Brainiac-5 : All right, well, give me a moment to update the Legion ship so we're not relying on parts 3D-printed in 2009.
J'onn J'onnz : That won't be necessary.
[pressing a button on the side of a table]
J'onn J'onnz : When I first acquired the Tower, I installed some... upgrades.
Dreamer : The Tower is a ship.
Alex Danvers : I love Martian technology.

Kelly Olsen : You are Alex Danvers. And you love morning hikes and... and-and knock-knock jokes and-and dumplings and lavender soap. We met in the hospital and we butted heads. And I knew right then that you were passionate and fiery and that you would do anything for people you love. And I wanted to be one of them. Last week, you brought me flowers and you asked me to move in with you. It was... it was one of the best things that has ever happened to me. You said I was your rock. Let me be that now. Remember what's real! Come back to me!
Alex Danvers : [freed from the Phantom's influence] Kelly?
Kelly Olsen : Alex?
Alex Danvers : You have to go. Get off this ship while you still can.
Kelly Olsen : Where? We're in the Phantom Zone.
Alex Danvers : [the ship rumbles] He's out for blood. Go, go. There's an escape pod. Just take it.
Kelly Olsen : There's only room for one.
[getting the implication]
Kelly Olsen : No, I am not leaving you. And I know you won't leave them.
Alex Danvers : Kelly, look. Look at me. You have seen war, okay? You know that there are some battles that you just can't fight. Sometimes you have to retreat and you have to protect yourself. The rest of us, we're... we're too far gone.
[the Phantom breaks open its containment unit]
Alex Danvers : I am not strong enough to protect you. Please.
Kelly Olsen : No.
Alex Danvers : Please, go.
Kelly Olsen : No.
Alex Danvers : Now!
Kelly Olsen : [the Phantom regains its control of her] Alex!

Brainiac-5 : I don't understand. We should be cloaked from Phantom detection. Unless...
Kelly Olsen : Guys, what's going on? The Phantom Q-waves went nuts.
Brainiac-5 : Alex, your neck.
[she covers the scratches]
Brainiac-5 : And you're shivering.
Alex Danvers : I, uh...
Brainiac-5 : You've been infected by the Phantom.
Kelly Olsen : Alex, no, that's not po...
Alex Danvers : [backing away] Just...
Brainiac-5 : It's your transformation, it's drawing the other Phantoms here.
Alex Danvers : We'll outrun them. We'll fight them off.
Brainiac-5 : No, there's too many of them, and we've taken too much damage.
Alex Danvers : Well, we can't stop now, right? Not when we're this close.

Dreamer : Kara's been in the Phantom Zone this whole time. What if she can't tell what's real anymore? I mean, when she sees a giant spaceship version of the Tower flying, won't she just assume it's another delusion?
Kelly Olsen : If so, she'll need a touchstone. A deeply personal memory or connection to bring her back to herself.
J'onn J'onnz : I could do that. Once we land on the right fragment of the Phantom Zone, I'll go out and get Supergirl alone.
Alex Danvers : Wait, what? No. No, I'm her sister.
J'onn J'onnz : The fewer of us exposed to the Phantoms, the better. We'll need your leadership here defending the Tower. While I find Supergirl, you'll be the one making sure she has a way home.
-
Alex Danvers : Kelly, are you sure that you want to come with us? I mean, stepping into a new dimension, that isn't something you signed up for.
Kelly Olsen : For Kara, for you... I'll do anything.
