Foul beast. Plague of my family.

Today your life ends.

End simulation.

These new Obsidian Platinum
lenses are amazing!

Well, Kelly said the upgrade
is so realistic that people

can actually touch and taste
and smell things in the VR.

I mean, look at that guy.
He's actually

feeling like he's going that fast.

He must be fearless.

That would make even me dizzy.

Oh, hardly.

But fearless is definitely
something I wish I was feeling,

'cause right now,
being out in this crowd,

I don't like it without my sidearm.

I can't believe Lex made you give
up your gun when you left the DEO.

This is the first time in eight
years I've been out without it.

You know what? I love it. You and

J'onn, The Tower,
without bureaucracy.

Without an evil overlord
holding you back.

I think it's great.

- Hi.
- Hi. Oh, my gosh!

- Look at this place. It's amazing!
- It's all Andrea.

Well, okay, sure. Maybe
the pizzazz part, but I mean,

not the upgraded 150
petaflop bio-link interface.

She has never said words like that.

Oh, you are paying attention
to my late night ramblings.

- I do listen. Yes.
- More importantly, what's in the box?

This is a first day gift
for my awesome girlfriend.

Hot pockets, macaroni and cheese

and your favorite
dumplings from Wang Foo's.

- Dumplings?
- Oh, no. Hey. Uh-uh.

This is comfort food for me.

I might share with J'onn.
Maybe. If he asks.

What?

- I've been listen...
- Um, don't look now

but the co-worker you rejected
is coming this way.

- Don't look now.
- Oh.

- Oh. You should do your thing.
- I gotta go to The Tower.

- We have a thing that we have to do.
- Traitors. Traitors!

- Hi!
- Morning!

Hello.

- I come bearing lattes.
- Oh.

- Sugar-free vanilla latte.
- Thank you.

And for you, double caff,
double foam with caramel and mocha.

How did you know that?

I'm an investigative journalist.

But don't we all know
our friends' orders by heart?

This was very thoughtful
of you, thank you.

- It was nothing. See you guys there.
- Bye.

- Bye.
- Wow.

Rejection never looked so good
or was so cool about it.

Why am I so bad at this?

At 9:00 p.m. tonight,

Obsidian will change
the way you think

and feel and experience life.

The countdown to your
dreams starts now.

Eleven hours and counting.
Exclamation point, exclamation point.

[SCREAMS]

Help! Help!

Are you okay?

I am now.

Thank you for saving me.

[PANTING]

What the hell happened?

[FRANKLIN] Someone tried to kill you.

- How did you know?
- Because of this.

It was delivered five minutes ago.

It's an Anti-Obsidian manifesto.

"Obsidian North
is technological genocide.

With Andrea Rojas now dead,
consider this your final warning.

Cancel the Obsidian Platinum
launch or more will die."

He can threaten whatever he wants.
I will not postpone.

- [BARKING]
- [SNARLING]

Well, isn't that cute?

I wasn't aware a Maladorian
Dendroasp could show any restraint.

- And you two share a lot in common.
- Hmm.

Non Nocere does what God couldn't.

Turns the most ferocious animal
instincts into "do no harm."

So far, all of your animal trials
have produced perfect results.

Yeah, but the human brain
is far more complex

and I've yet to test it
to see that it's working

just as perfectly.

Can't have any critics
pouncing on any mistakes.

Hmm. That has a bit
of a personal ring to it.

Let me guess. Your biggest
critic is a Kryptonian?

Before Crisis, when I tried to
use Myriad, she assumed that

I was trying to mind control people.

Her and her friends think
I'm going down a dark path.

They think you've turned into me.

Or at least, Mother.

But you haven't... tragically.

Can you imagine what it would
be like if humanity didn't

succumb to terror, rage and worry?

We would be the best
versions of ourselves.

- Be creative. Be free...
- Utopia.

Exactly. But Supergirl and her
friends just can't accept that

I don't want to
puppet master humanity.

Since I anticipated you being ready
for the next phase of testing,

I took the liberty of setting up a

trial at that cute
little prison we own.

Willing subjects waiting for
a chance to be better people.

There's a car waiting
for you downstairs.

[CELL PHONE VIBRATING]

Gotta go. Duty calls.

Got your text.

Good news on inverting
Toyman's Immortality Code

for use against Leviathan?

Yes. I'm nearly done re-purposing the

code to render Leviathan vulnerable,

but seeing as how they are
a techno-organic species

from the same
solar system as Krypton,

I've calculated that it would
be next to impossible

to inject the code into their skin

without first, somehow,
weakening them.

So, are you saying
we would need to find

their version of Kryptonite?

In so many words, yes.

Then no.

I've been down that road
and let's just say,

I didn't win.

There is one intriguing possibility.

But that would require access to
Leviathan's base of operations.

Which we don't even know
the location of.

Sir.

There's been an attack
on Andrea Rojas.

[COMPUTER BEEPS]

[MAN] Despite a vicious attack,

Andrea Rojas promised that

the launch will proceed as
planned at 9:00 p.m. tonight...

This is terrible.

Or fortuitous.

We need to get closer to Leviathan

so that we can find their home base

to administer the Mortality Code.

Gemma Cooper is heavily invested
in both Andrea and the launch,

which will need protection.

What better way
to get in with Leviathan

than to protect their favorite child?

Call Supergirl.

I am not a bodyguard, Lex.

With you guarding her,
there is a 99.7% chance

that Andrea survives
and her assailant is captured.

Well, instead, why doesn't
the DEO track the terrorists

before they attack again?

When I rescued her this morning,

there was pink energy
surrounding the elevator.

Pink energy would suggest
a Chlorophyllian.

And their energy
is impossible to track.

[LEX] Finding them before the
launch tonight seems unlikely.

And if you refuse, you know
the leverage I have.

Not to mention you'll have
the blood of a poor,

innocent billionaire on your hands.

[ANDREA ON MONITOR] Platinum
lets you be whomever you want,

whenever you want.

We have more cases
than I care to count.

Runaway aliens, missing persons,

and... the odd wayward spouse.

And still no leads
on what Lex is up to.

We will get to the bottom
of that, I promise you.

Are you okay?

I've had a clear mission

and a boss to answer to

every day of my life
since medical school.

And now, with all this freedom,

- I'm just starting to feel a little...
- Discombobulated.

Yes.

[SUPERGIRL LANDS]

- Hey.
- Hey.

Lex just personally assigned me

to bodyguard Andrea Rojas

until Platinum's launch tonight.

Bodyguard?

Why does Lex care so much
about the launch?

Exactly. He must have an
ulterior motive against Obsidian.

Or it's a trap.

Well, either way,
I'll investigate when I'm with Andrea,

but I came here first
to see if you guys could help.

Do you have any idea
who attacked Andrea?

I saw pink energy in the
elevator while it was falling.

And Brainy says
it could be Chlorophyllian,

but he also said their energy
is impossible to track, so...

Chlorophyllians are a peaceful race.

They absorb sunlight
through their dermis

in order to super-grow crops.

They shouldn't be able to
siphon off electrical energy.

Still, it's a lead.

We'll get on it.

Well, if you need me I'll
be glued to Andrea's side.

You're a difficult woman
to track down.

You being here blocking my
way would suggest otherwise.

I heard the terrible news.

How perplexing that terrorists
were able to breach your security.

And you want to "help" me.

How thoughtful.

On such a momentous day
for your company

I feel it's my civic duty.

What could you possibly give us

that we can't give ourselves?

Supergirl...

For Andrea Rojas's protection.

I don't need your Supergirl,
nor do I want her.

Oh, I think you do.

I know you prefer your people

to not be in the public eye,

and, well, this launch... Wow.
Talk about the headlines.

And if you know my people,

you know what I can do
to a yappy little dog

that nips at my heel.

That's why I adore you.

I can give you something
you value above all else...

anonymity.

The entire world will be
watching and recording

Andrea Rojas' every move
until the launch at 9:00 p.m.

Given the high-profile nature
of the situation,

I'm the easy choice.

I do admire your confidence,
Mr. Luthor.

Always the over-achiever.

I'll call off my friends.

But be forewarned,
we don't give second chances.

So don't make promises
you can't keep.

All of these men volunteered?

They did.

It's a cross section of
inmates from the most violent

to those who are afraid
of their own shadow.

What are you looking at?

Nothing, nothing. I'm sorry, Toby.

Guards!

Are you all right?

It's nothing.

That was practically a high five,

considering what he does
to me most days.

How do you cope?

It's prison.

Guys like me don't stand a chance.

Five years in here taught me that.

But maybe after your trials,

I won't have to worry.

I've heard you're trying to turn them

peaceful as Quakers.

If you succeed,

that'd be a real godsend
for guys like me, Lena Luthor.

Let's get started.

Thank you for seeing
how important this is

and having my back.

With you by my side,

people will be even more
amped for the launch.

Selfie?

Uh...

Hashtag SuperGuard.

When is everyone getting here?

I cancelled the live audience.

I won't risk innocent lives.

And I won't give in to terror.

[NATALIA] Andrea!

Natalia.

Oh, my God, how are you?

You must still be shaking.

Oh, better now that I'm here.

Pleasure to meet you, Supergirl.

William Dey.

- We crossed paths this morning.
- Uh, yeah, yes.

It's very nice to meet you...
formally.

What are you doing here?

I'm covering the Obsidian
North Platinum launch,

and this is the first stop
on the press tour.

You're following Andrea
around all day?

Well, if someone attacks,
you could get hurt, or killed.

I'm a journalist.

We put ourselves in harm's way

to show our readers the truth.

How can I shy away from danger

when the people I cover can't?

That's very heroic.

Ah, I don't know about that,
but thank you.

It's also a huge story.

For better or worse,

this launch is the biggest thing

since the invention of the computer.

Harry!

- J'onn J'onzz!
- Hey, man.

- It's been a while.
- Yeah.

What are you up to?

We're looking for a Chlorophyllian.

You know any?

Can't say that I do.

But Dmitry over there,

he knows everybody.
Might be worth a shot.

- Thanks, man.
- Thanks.

Hey, man.

You!

Get away from me.

You two know each other?

I might've roughed him up
once or twice

while tracking a lead.

It's not the arm-twisting
I'm worried about,

it's the jail time I did afterward

that I'd like to avoid.

Look, we're not here
to arrest you. Okay?

I don't work for
the government anymore.

We're gonna need your help.

Look, we're looking for
a Chlorophyllian.

Somebody with tech issues

or possibly an anger
management problem.

I have a buddy
who engages in certain...

less than legal weapons transactions.

He mentioned a Chlorophyllian

asking about
some military-grade tech.

The Chlorophyllian...
any ideas where we can find him?

My buddy was complaining
about making the trek out

to a farmhouse on Route 89.

Thank you.

And I... I'm sorry about last time.

- She's sorry. Thanks.
- Yeah.

[SIGHS] This sounds
really bad, J'onn.

I'm gonna call Brainy
and see what he can find.

You sure that's wise?

If Lex finds out Brainy's
using DEO resources for you,

it could put him in Lex's crosshairs.

- [DIAL TONE RINGING]
- He's family. He'll let us know if he can't.

[PHONE RINGING]

[ALEX] Brainy, hey. We got a lead.

That's excellent news.

Can you see if there's a
Chlorophyllian living off of Route 89?

It's some kind of farm.

I just need a name, address...
anything you can get.

[TYPING]

[COMPUTER BEEPS]

[SIGHS]

Unfortunately, I see no record

of any Chlorophyllians
living in that vicinity.

In fact, the only farm off Route 89

has been liquidated with no
proof of asset dispersion.

Okay, thanks, Brainy.

No dice.

Ah, look, I still want
to track down that farm.

Yeah, agreed.

I apologize for the intrusion.

I'm here to help.

Lex must ingratiate
himself with Gemma Cooper

in order to defeat Leviathan.

For that to happen,
Supergirl must save Andrea Rojas.

Therefore, Alex Danvers and J'onn
J'onzz need to be left in the dark.

I've done the calculations.

There is a 93.2% probability that

none will invite me
to Thanksgiving...

after I do what must be done.

Yes, well, that is a quite
the conundrum, Querl.

Alas, in a moment like this,

there is only one thing you can do.

Trust the math.

Your ultimate allegiance
must remain with Lex.

Only then, will the future
unfold the way we need it to.

Trust that your friends are strong.

I mean, they are heroes, after all.

And that is quantifiable.

I desperately hope you're right.

Man, that is a nice haircut.

Shut up.

[LENA] Non Nocere program uploading.

Let's see if this works.

[WARDEN] Gentlemen, stand
and remove your lenses.

Yo, Steve, come here.

Do you wanna grab some grub?

[HESITANTLY] Uh, sure, Toby...

That would be lovely.

Yeah.

[WHISPERS] You're a genius.

...as a testament to the people who

are standing up to these threats.

What do you make of all this?

How do you mean?

The culprit, the manifesto,
the whole situation?

Off the record, of course.

I think it's horrible.
People should never resort to violence.

- But...
- I hate to say it,

but I think the manifesto makes
some slightly decent points.

I mean, not that "Obsidian Lenses

will take our sentient
minds hostage."

But that people disconnecting
from the real world

could backfire in unforeseen ways,

creating irreparable damage.

What do you think?

The way I look at it,

Obsidian North's
biggest appeal is that

it taps into people's desire
to feel connected.

And when you
only live in that VR world,

you end up getting further and
further away from the real world.

You've thought a lot about this.

When the first generation
lenses dropped, I was buzzing.

I thought about being
able to hang with

my buddy who I lost a few years ago.

But it wasn't until
I hung out with my friend,

or, co-worker, Kara,

that I remembered what being
really connected feels like.

All it took was some karaoke
and a game night.

But I realized I didn't want to
live in some perfect VR world,

I just wanted to be with
the people I care about.

[SYSTEMS POWERING DOWN]

[HUSKY VOICE] Andrea Rojas!

Ms. Rojas, we need to
get you to a secure location.

I am not running away.

You were just attacked by someone
who can travel through light.

Then it's good that saving
people is what you do best.

And Obsidian... It's what I do best.

It's my life.

It was my father's, too.

This company is his life's work.

Mi papa built it from the ground up.

He sacrificed everything, and...

[SIGHS]

...and so did I.

I've done things to help him
restore Obsidian to glory.

Things I'm not proud of,

and things I can never undo.

I pushed away friends
for my own gain...

But I would do it all again
in a heartbeat.

I will not stop

just because someone
is threatening me.

Your next appearance is downtown

at the Obsidian store pop-up.

I will have to do a sweep
of the area, twice,

and I'm not letting you
out of my sight.

Thank you, Supergirl.

Hi, Steve.

I'm sorry, I'm sorry...
for whatever I did.

Everything okay?

No, it's not.

I'm not okay!

[SCREAMS]

Steve! Steve!

Get a medic!

Steve?

Can you hear me?

You had a reaction.

It caused a grand mal seizure.

Do you remember what happened?

It was Toby.

I thought he was going to hit me.

When he asked me if I was okay...

I felt something

I'd never felt before.

For...

For the first time... ever,

I wanted to be the bully.

Fear is the only emotion
I've known for most of my life,

but then you came along
and I... finally felt hope.

But now, all I feel is

a hunger for revenge,

for violence...

It's trapped inside me,

it's trying to claw its way
out, I can't get rid of it.

It's so much worse than anything
that Toby ever did to me.

I'm sorry. I'm so sorry.

You fixed those monsters,

but what about me?
Why didn't you fix me?

I will fix it, okay?
I promise. I promise!

You know, I could have
phased us both through.

Yeah, but I really missed
kicking doors in.

Whoever this belongs to
has himself a green thumb.

Just like a Chlorophyllian.

Walden Pond... an idealized
return to nature.

Certainly jives with the manifesto.

"Our inventions are want
to be pretty toys,

which distract our attention
from serious things."

Look at these schematics.

Looks like he has
a pretty toy all of his own.

These are weapons-grade components.

This is what he must've been
trying to buy on the black market.

Some kind of gauntlet.

I want you by my side
at all times. Got it?

You're the boss.

Hello, everyone!

Which of you is ready
to change your life?

[ALL CHEERING]

[ELECTRICITY CRACKLING]

[HUSKY VOICE] You shouldn't be here.

[J'ONN J'ONZZ] Watch out!

[GRUNTING]

Hey...

[ALEX] Supergirl.

We need to go, now.

[GASPS] What? Wait,
you can't leave me here!

Are you okay?

- [J'ONN J'ONZZ GASPS] I think so.
- What happened?

Whoever it was,
they were able to take my powers

and use them against me.

Is that something
Chlorophyllians can even do?

Not at all. Must be those gauntlets.

They're enhancing their abilities,

allowing them to harness
any form of energy,

including the powers of other aliens.

Well, Andrea is safe at the DEO.

Let's see if we can
salvage something.

Right.

[BEEPING]

[SLAMS REMOTE]

I'd say go easy on that thing,

but if it takes the pressure
off, you may as well.

Do you remember when
you turned the sun red,

what you told me?

You told me that you were doing it

for the good of the human race.

You deluded yourself into
thinking you were saving us,

when you were really killing us.

And maybe I'm just
as deluded as you are.

I haven't been deluded
a day in my life.

You want to know what I remember?

You showed up at my office
with the Man of Tomorrow award.

It was the last time
you were ever proud of me.

We had just made first
contact with an alien race

and you didn't care.

You didn't see the threat.

You just wanted to focus on the more

philanthropic efforts of Luthor Corp.

And I fired you for it.

Why are you telling me this?

Because you're going down
the same path I did,

and you are better than that.

Superman was my downfall.

I let my obsession with destroying
him drive me off-course,

but now I have a second chance

to do things the right way, with you.

Non Nocere was supposed
to liberate people,

not take away their free will.

But all I've managed to do

is to trap people in their own bodies

with their ugliest inclinations.

Maybe I have gone down a dark path.

Don't let your obsession with what

Supergirl thinks get in your way.

You can't change
what's in her heart any more

than you can change mine.

But unlike her,

I believe in what you're doing.

We'll figure this out together,

and I'm not leaving until we do.

Pull up the algorithm.

[SIGHS]

You wanna talk?

We almost died today
because I couldn't save us.

I don't have freeze breath

and I can't phase through things.

But it didn't even matter before then

because I had this
entire team that was behind me.

I turned in my gun and my badge

so that I could stop Lex
from the outside.

I thought the DEO
was holding me back,

but what if it was holding me up?

Alex, when I left the DEO,

I was lost, too.

But you came to me
at a real low point

and you reminded me that
sometimes it takes a while

to grow into
the new version of yourself.

It's a process, Alex.

And today is the first day.

Give yourself time to recalibrate.

And in the meantime,
just know that we all have your back.

[SUPERGIRL] I found something.

[ALEX] What'd you get?

"Todd Sapphire."
He worked for Obsidian?

Looks like Sapphire had
someone he cared deeply about.

[SUPERGIRL] What happened to him?

According to Obsidian HR,

he became addicted
to the virtual reality lenses

and was terminated because he stole
a pair for an all-night binge.

Could the attack on Andrea be
retaliation for getting fired?

This is a suicide note.

Addressed to "My darling Amy.

I'm sorry I could not be
stronger for you, my love,

but ever since we left our
home world I have felt lost

and the only relief
I've found is in VR.

I'm so homesick I can't think of
anything else. I can't go on."

[ALEX] Wait a minute.

He died a year ago.

So if he's dead, then he
couldn't have attacked Andrea...

Then was it his wife?

[J'ONN J'ONZZ] She blames
Obsidian for his death.

And the manifesto warned against
making VR a new paradise...

[SUPERGIRL] Amy is trying
to stop the launch

to save people
from her husband's fate.

[ALEX] The launch is in 27 minutes.

[SUPERGIRL] I have to get to CatCo.

Get out if you wanna live!

[SCREAMING]

You!

Where is Andrea Rojas?

She's not here.

Leave these people alone.

I'm stopping the launch.

Not if I have anything
to say about it.

[GRUNTS SOFTLY]

This ends now.

I'm sorry. I can't let you stop me.

[GRUNTS]

[GROANS]

[GRUNTS]

It's time to put your toys to bed.

- Are you okay?
- [GROANS] I will be.

Get everyone out of here.

I'll go after Amy.

Director Dox, we're receiving reports

of a terrorist event at Obsidian.

And a massive power outage

that seems to be
spreading across the city.

The launch, the whole Platinum
cloud, has a failsafe.

If power is drained
from our generators,

the failsafe pulls power from the
city's grid to ensure the launch.

The Luthor PowerCore?

That system reacquires energy
as rapidly as it is lost.

If power continues
to deplete at this rate...

It could not only cause a massive
blackout to National City,

but could also cause the majority
of its transformers to explode.

Fire, chaos...

[PEOPLE SCREAMING]

I have to get to CatCo
and take the failsafe offline.

No. It's too dangerous. I'll go.

[ANDREA] Please, take me with you.

Supergirl promised Mr. Luthor
that you would stay out of danger.

Put her in a holding cell.

Come on. Come on.

Go! Go!

Please stop!

If you destroy the
processor it will explode.

I don't intend to destroy it.

I just need it to stop.

[GASPING]

Hi.

Hi.

Follow me,
I'll get you all to safety.

Now, quickly. Let's go! Let's go!

[ALL GASP]

Amy, no!

[GROANING]

[ALARM SOUNDING]

No, no, no, no. This can't be right!

Let me go!

Please. I need to get to CatCo.

[SHRIEKS]

[EXCLAIMS ANGRILY]

[GASPS]

Amy, please, you can't
go through with this.

You don't have any power to stop me.

You're right. I'm powerless.

So blast me again if you want to.

But I know about Todd.

I know how much you loved each other.

And I know what dark
spiral he went down

after he got addicted
to Obsidian's VR.

But Amy, just as Todd became
obsessed with a virtual world,

you have become obsessed
with finding justice for him.

No one else should suffer
the way I did.

[TYPING]

Oh, my God.

You shouldn't be here.

Who released you from custody?

It's not working.

It seems we built a failsafe
into the failsafe

to secure the launch.

I read your manifesto...

Your point that people would
rather live in a virtual world

than actually help the real world,

I hear that.

I hear you.

It's built to trap you.

An addiction.
That's what it did to Todd.

I know.

But if you go through
with what you're doing,

it won't just shut down the launch.

Innocent people will die.

I know you don't want that.

What you want
is for people to engage.

For people to know what it's
like to be in the outside world.

To be a partner, to love,
to have friends.

Nothing can change the past.

Believe me, I've tried.

But you are in control
of your own future.

Todd may not be here anymore,
but you are.

Just look deep
inside yourself and think,

is this what Todd
would have really wanted?

[TIMER BEEPING]

[BEEPING CONTINUES]

[VOICE QUIVERS] I miss him every day.

How did you get back here
so fast from the DEO?

I convinced some agents to bring me.

Todd Sapphire became addicted to
a proto version of Obsidian VR.

Maybe you should
slow down the rollout.

Todd's story was tragic,

but he's not
the only story out there.

After the attack tonight,
do you know what happened?

Our employees used
our VR to cope with

the trauma they'd just experienced.

Bottom line, Supergirl,

I'm here to help people.

Remember that.

[ANDREA] Acrata...
power through shadows.

[EXHALES]

Well, Alex, you made it
through your first day.

Still no leads on Lex though.

This is gonna be a long road, Alex.

- And I think...
- [PLACES BOX ON TABLE]

...you are gonna need... some backup.

My gun.

Not quite.

Back on Mars we called this...
[SPEAKING OTHER LANGUAGE]

...or "hand of the soldier."

It can transform into any weapon.

- What?
- You just have to picture it

in your mind's eye.

[SOFT TRILLING]

Look, I know you don't have a badge,

but today you proved
you didn't need one.

J'onn, this is amazing.

- I don't know what to say.
- [CHUCKLES]

Thank you.

With a little practice

you'll learn to control it.

Yeah.

[EXHALES]

[BEEPS]

It's gone.

All that pain...

The hunger.

Those feelings, it's as if...

I never had them.

How did you do that?

My brother, of all people,

helped me focus on
what really mattered.

I had accounted
for violent tendencies,

but not the feelings of injustice

which activate
a different part of the brain.

So it was just a matter of tweaking

the algorithm to account for that.

Well, whatever you did, it worked.

For the first time in maybe...

ever...

I feel safe.

You really are the hero
people say you are.

If this works, the world
won't need heroes.

- That's so cool. So, it's Martian?
- Yeah.

Well, I mean,
it's really a gun though.

Or I mean, whatever weapon
I want it to be.

J'onn just has to train me
how to use it.

Well, even without it today
you were pretty badass.

Who says you need
a badge and the DEO?

- That's right.
- [PHONE CHIMES]

Oh! William.

"I couldn't find you after the attack.
Are you okay?"

That is none of your business.

[FLAPS LIPS]

I really need to text him back.

I mean, it sounds like
he still really likes you.

Are you regretting saying no?

I don't know.

I've been so preoccupied with people

using VR to escape the real world,

when that's exactly
what I'm doing with William.

I'm avoiding my own reality.

Well, it sounds like you
know what you need to do.

It's just one dinner, right?

Yeah.

[WILLIAM TYPING]

I'm alive.

Kara! Oh, thank God.

I heard you got out
but it's much better to...

- [CHUCKLES]
- ...see for myself.

Yeah. By the time I had
gotten your messages,

I figured it was easier to just

show you proof of life.

Yeah, I'm sure. [CHUCKLES]

So how did you know I was here?

Well, it's common knowledge
you're a night owl

and a workaholic,

and one of the most
dedicated reporters I know.

I think you give me
a run for my money there.

Oh, God, this is too much, isn't it?

The coffee, the texts,
the compliments.

I'm sorry, you asked to be friends

and I should be respecting that,

but instead I've been
overstepping all day.

No, no, no. Not at all.

It's fine.

That's actually why I'm here.

I made a mistake last week

because I was scared.

You're a great guy.

More than a great guy.

And... And I would love to go out.

I would love that.

There's my favorite Coluan.

The progress you've made
inverting the code,

- looks like a real killer.
- [TYPING]

Don't you just love it
when a plan comes together?

What? You don't love it?

I encountered your Luthor
PowerCore this evening

and was unable to take it offline.

I texted you for assistance
and I got no reply.

That failsafe endangered 67%
of National City's population.

So a few houses could've burned down.

Small price for progress.

People could have died.

If Supergirl hadn't...

But she did.

Have you forgotten, Director Dox?

Supergirl always saves the day.

Saving Obsidian Platinum solidified
our worth to our new friends.

[PHONE VIBRATES]

Gotta go. Time to close.

Forgive me for keeping you waiting.

You should be more considerate.

When you make promises, those
around you expect you to keep them.

I know that to the untrained eye,

- today did not seem ideal.
- Oh.

Fires, police, superheroes.

Which part of this
do you consider not ideal?

I believe that a woman with
your wisdom and foresight

would see that we delivered
the results you desired,

we just did it with panache.

And without you having
to stick out your pretty neck.

But I believe fate
has thrown us together.

Me, the most trusted
and beloved man on Earth...

Who better to represent
Obsidian Platinum

in its worldwide rollout
than Lex Luthor?

I'm the chocolate
to your peanut butter.

With me as your global ambassador,

there won't be an eyeball
from Tokyo to Tajikistan

without Obsidian lenses on it.

You make a persuasive case, Lex.

Hmm, as I told you,

I can be an excellent
friend when I want to be.

And I want to be very good friends.

So tell me this...

As a friend,

do you expect something in return?

It would be lovely
to meet your friends.

Make good on your word,

and we can discuss.
