Quotes 

• Andrea Rojas : What do the Super Friends do for fun? I mean, do they even have fun? I want you three to find out.

  William Dey : Andrea, it's not like there's a Super Friends hotline we can call.

  Andrea Rojas : Well, then do whatever you have to. Stalk them. Project a big "S" in the night sky. Jump off a bridge so one of them has to catch you. Then interview them on your way down. I don't care how you do it, just do it.

  Kara Danvers : Well, I... I can't speak for Supergirl, but I'm sure she's too busy saving people with real emergencies to do a celebrity puff piece.

  Nia Nal : And I heard that they don't even like giving interviews.

  Andrea Rojas : Well, are you forgetting our exclusive with Dreamer? And how about your tete-a-tete with Supergirl during my press tour for Obsidian Platinum, hmm?

  William Dey : I had assured her that our conversations were off the record.

  Andrea Rojas : Well, then get her on the record. Every time we have a Super Friend interview, CatCo Media tracker skyrockets.

  [as she talks, Nia accidentally dozes off] 

  Andrea Rojas : We're at number three. We need to be number one.

  [noticing Nia snoring] 

  Andrea Rojas : Did she fall asleep?

  Kara Danvers : [gently shaking her awake]  Nia.

  Nia Nal : Huh?

  [regaining her bearings] 

  Nia Nal : Andrea, I am so sorry.

  Andrea Rojas : Sleep on your own time, not mine. Go home. You're taking a mental health day.

  [to William and Kara] 

  Andrea Rojas : Now, you two, you have 24 hours to get me an interview with a Super Friend. Ideally, Supergirl. Fail and you'll find yourself writing classified ads and obits.

• J'onn J'onnz : So, Kelly, how's the social work job going?

  Kelly Olsen : Oh, I love it. Uh, but it can be pretty intense. I actually have a new case tomorrow, with a ten-year-old alien orphan with EMP powers. His only family is a brother in prison.

  Kara Danvers : That is heartbreaking.

  Alex Danvers : Well, if anybody can help him, it's you, babe, 'cause empathy is your superpower.

  Kelly Olsen : Aw, that's really cute.

  Nia Nal : Okay, can you please be a little... just a little more adorkable?

  Alex Danvers : I don't think so.

• Kara Danvers : You okay?

  Nia Nal : Yeah. It's just, um, with Brainy taking Zor-El back to Argo, I guess I haven't been sleeping that well.

  J'onn J'onnz : Well, maybe Lena could team up with me when she gets here.

  Kara Danvers : No, she's still back east, looking for information about her birth mother. I really hope whatever she finds brings her some peace.

  Alex Danvers : Right? You know, she's really had a rough go with the Luthor side of the family.

  J'onn J'onnz : That is putting it mildly.

• Nxylgsptinz : Nia, you're back. Thank goodness. I'm sorry our conversation got interrupted by that vicious owl. We were just about to make a deal.

  Nia Nal : Thanks. But no thanks.

  Nxylgsptinz : I don't understand.

  Nia Nal : Nxyly... I don't know you. But I do know that imps, on the whole, are not to be trusted.

  Nxylgsptinz : How would you like to be judged by your species, Nia? Aren't you a hero on Earth?

  Nxylgsptinz : Yes, but...

  Nxylgsptinz : I can grant your dearest wish, Nia. And you can end this cycle of tormented dreams, and finally see your mum for 24 hours. Don't you want that?

  Nia Nal : Of course I do.

  Nxylgsptinz : Then let's help each other!

• Owl : The wise understand by themselves, Nia. Fools follow the words of others.

  Nxylgsptinz : Don't listen to that stupid owl.

  Nia Nal : Owls will bring to light what is in the dark. They're symbols of truth.

  Nxylgsptinz : Nonsense. That is a ferocious bird of prey who's looking at us like a pair of tiny little tasty sparrows. She's trying to divide and conquer us, Nia, so that she can devour us for breakfast.

  Nia Nal : I don't think owls are that devious. My mother revered them.

  Owl : Wisdom lies not in seeing things, but in seeing through them.

  Nxylgsptinz : Shut up, you ghoul. Nia... I have been around the universe, and that creature is evil. You saw how she attacked me. Don't let her mess with your mind. Please, let's get us out of here and get you reunited with your mum.

  Nia Nal : I don't know.

  Nxylgsptinz : You can trust me.

  [with a screech, the owl attacks her again] 

  Nxylgsptinz : Ugh! Leave us alone!

• Nxylgsptinz : Don't be scared.

  Nia Nal : Who are you? What do you want?

  Nxylgsptinz : My name is Nxyly.

  Nia Nal : Wait, I've seen you before. You were in my dreams.

  Nxylgsptinz : Not exactly in them. I crashed them, and not on purpose. I'm stuck here. I'm so grateful I found you. I need your help. And you need mine.

• Nia Nal : What do you mean you crashed my dreams?

  Nxylgsptinz : An evil man took my powers and banished me from my dimension. In my weakened state, I couldn't cross the barrier into your real world, and I got trapped here.

  Nia Nal : Only Naltorians are supposed to be able to enter the dream realm in physical form.

  Nxylgsptinz : Technically, not only Naltorians. I'm from the 5th Dimension.

  Nia Nal : You're an imp.

  Nxylgsptinz : An imp stripped of my powers. Well, mostly. I still have some small remnant of magic left, enough to sense you. It took me ages to find you, but I knew that you were my only chance of getting out of here.

  Nia Nal : What makes you think I can help?

  Nxylgsptinz : On occasion, Naltorian women have been known to manifest their dreams in the real world.

  Nia Nal : That's nothing to mess with. It's dangerous to interfere with the laws of the universe.

  Nxylgsptinz : I get it. But sometimes, you have to take a chance, Nia. I would never ask you to take a risk alone. If you help me, I will go to great lengths to help you.

  Nia Nal : I don't know what you're talking about. I don't need any help.

  Nxylgsptinz : I don't mean to pry, but I have seen your dreams, Nia. You miss your mother. You need to see her, and I know exactly how that feels. I desperately miss my brother and my father. I have to get home to see them. We can help each other, Nia. If you get me out of this dream realm, I will have enough power to bring your mother back to life.

  Nia Nal : Bringing someone back from the dead, that's... a serious infraction of universal law. I know imps are powerful, but I didn't know they could do that.

  Nxylgsptinz : We can. With some limits. I can only bring your mother back to life for exactly one day.

  Nia Nal : Really?

  Nxylgsptinz : In a snap. You and I have such similar needs, to be reunited with our families. It's destiny that we help each other. What do you say?

• Nxylgsptinz : You came back.

  Nia Nal : Do you really just want to go back to the 5th Dimension?

  Nxylgsptinz : As soon as I get out of here and replenish my powers, I'll go straight home.

  Nia Nal : And if I help you, we have a deal. And you bring my mom back for 24 hours.

  Nxylgsptinz : Imps never break their deals. Are you in?

  Nia Nal : [as the owl hoots, she hits it with a blast of energy]  I'm in.
