[owl hoots]

Mom, wait!

Mom!

It's Nia!

Come back! I need you! Please, wait!

[crows cawing]

[theme music playing]

[upbeat music playing]

- And go! - Okay.

She should be queen.

- Uh, Meghan Markle. - [Kelly] Yep.

- Um... - Thank you.

Okay. Pizza, moon, amore.

- Dean Martin? - [Kelly] Yes.

- Easy. - [Kelly chuckles]

Typewriters?

- Tom Hanks? - Yes, babe!

- God, you're so good at this. - What in the world?

Cheating. This is cheating.

- [device beeping] - Time. Time.

- And they win again. - Oh, come on!

- Yes! - Oh!

Really competitive.

If I didn't know better, I'd say you guys were psychic.

Well, we are starting to finish each other's...

- Sandwiches. - [all laugh]

Cute.

Well, whatever it is, living together certainly suits you.

- Aw, thanks. - Yeah.

- We think so, too. - Mmm-hmm.

All right. J'onn, Nia, you're up.

- You okay? - [Nia] Yeah.

It's just, um, with Brainy taking Zor-El back to Argo,

I guess I haven't been sleeping that well.

Well, maybe Lena can team up with me when she gets here.

No, she's still back east, looking for information about her birth mother.

I really hope whatever she finds brings her some peace.

[Alex] Right?

She's really had a rough go with the Luthor side of the family.

That is putting it mildly.

So, Kelly, how's the social work job going?

Oh, I love it. But it can be pretty intense.

I actually have a new case tomorrow,

with a 10-year-old alien orphan with EMP powers.

His only family is a brother in prison.

That is heartbreaking.

Well, if anybody can help him, it's you, babe,

because empathy is your superpower.

Aw, that's really cute.

Can you two please be just a little more adorkable?

- I don't think so. - All right. Come on, Nia.

Let's show these crazy kids how to do it.

[Andrea] What do the Super Friends do for fun?

I mean, do they even have fun? I want you three to find out.

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

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.

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.

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

Are you forgetting our exclusive with Dreamer?

And how about your tête-à-têtes with Supergirl

during my press tour for Obsidian Platinum, hmm?

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

Well, then get her on the record.

Every time we have a Super Friend interview,

CatCo Media Tracker skyrockets.

We're at number three. We need to be number one.

[snores]

Did she fall asleep?

- Nia. - Huh.

Andrea, I am so sorry.

Sleep on your own time, not mine.

Go home. You're taking a mental health day.

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.

[Kara sighs]

Back in London, I once dressed up as a pizza delivery guy to bluff my way

into 10 Downing Street to interview the prime minister.

- Did it work? - No.

All I got were a dozen pizzas with extra cheese.

[J'onn J'onzz] Supergirl, I need your help.

- I'm on my way. - On your way where?

To go pound the pavement.

Okay.

Thanks for coming.

I've been monitoring the NCPD scanners about a series of truck robberies.

Nothing seemed out of the ordinary until now.

Was this a Metalomite?

They can bend any metal just by using their minds.

If there's one on the loose, we'll have to take care of it together.

Yeah. That's not from a Metalomite.

- A residue that turns things invisible? - It's an Obscuran.

Since when do Obscurans and Metalomites work together?

Maybe what they're stealing is enough to put away their differences.

So far, they've stolen computer boards, motor oil, steel casing.

And from this truck?

- Ammonium nitrate. - They're building a bomb.

[sighs]

Ms. Hochschild? I'm Kelly Olsen.

The new caseworker for Joey Davis.

Oh. Yes. Please come in.

Thank you.

Oh, thank goodness you're here. I've just been at my wit's end with him.

I hear Joey's having behavioral issues.

- What's going on? - Well, he's picking fights.

He's disobeying me and my staff, misusing his powers.

Not only is it unsettling for the other children,

but I'm just worried someone might get hurt.

Did his file mention that two days ago,

he knocked out power to the entire block?

[sighs] You know, Joey's not usually like this.

He's usually such a sweet, kind boy.

I mean, can you think of anything that might be upsetting him?

I blame his brother Orlando.

- In Van Kull Prison. - Yeah.

- Joey gets monthly visitation with him? - Mmm-hmm.

This all started after Joey last saw him.

I mean, if you ask me, he's bad news.

I think it would be best if the state just stopped the visits.

[girl] Marta, give it back.

Oh! Be careful.

- Sorry. - It's okay.

Girls, I've told you a thousand times. No running in the house.

Marta took my bread roll.

According to the rules, each child is expected to respect

the personal property of their housemates.

It was mine.

This is a matter of justice.

- Okay. - Okay.

[Kelly chuckles]

Uh, the children wear power-dampening cuffs?

Oh, that's a necessary precaution.

I mean, with ten alien children under my care,

their abilities have to be controlled.

When Joey gets angry, he can overpower his.

I'll help you with Marta later, Esme.

So, Joey is in his room.

- Come. It's this way. - Okay.

You know, when something's bothering me,

talking about it always seems to help.

It must be hard living here,

with your brother Orlando away.

- What do you know about him? - I know he's in prison.

And by the look on your face, when I said his name,

you must care about him an awful lot.

You don't know how I feel.

You could tell me.

I have a big brother, too.

His name is Jimmy.

And when we were kids, he would do all kinds of crazy things.

Like... he would climb up on a roof and jump off of it.

One time, he took our dad's car for a ride.

My brother is the bravest person I know, and I still worry about him.

Because that's what you do for people you love.

There's something wrong with my brother.

Why do you say that?

Last time I saw him, he had dark circles under his eyes.

We get them if we use our powers a lot.

We get sick if we use them too much.

You think your brother's using his powers in prison?

For his job.

I don't know what you call it, but he gets to go out to do it.

He's in a work-release program.

He told me not to worry, but I can't help it.

He took care of me after our mom and dad died.

He only robbed that store to get money for a place for us to live.

He says we'll be together again when he gets out.

But what if his job makes him really sick?

[chokes up]

What if he dies?

I am going to do all that I can to help you and Orlando.

You know, a good friend of mine knows the warden at the prison.

She might be able to help.

- I don't wanna get him in trouble. - It's gonna be okay.

I promise.

[J'onn J'onzz] According to the manifest, that truck was carrying

over 5,000 pounds of ammonium nitrate.

That much explosive could level a 50-story building.

Well, we can use the residue that we found

to track the Obscuran energy signature,

and hopefully, the bombmakers.

Hey.

Are you okay?

The alien orphan Joey that I was telling you about?

Yeah?

I'm worried. The poor kid's been acting out

because he believes his brother is overusing his EMP powers

at his work-release program at the Van Kull Prison.

You mean the Second Chances program?

I did an article on that when it first started.

That's why I'm here.

Joey says that if his brother Orlando uses his powers too much,

he could die.

When I interviewed the warden, the program seemed amazing.

They contracted with a clothing manufacturer

to give jobs to incarcerated workers.

From what I saw, they were treated really well.

So, if Orlando's making clothing,

then why would he need to use his EMP powers?

Is it because he's being forced to?

Or maybe he's using them for some self-serving purpose?

Either way, something bad is happening to Orlando, and it's affecting Joey.

I need to find out. Can you help me get in to talk to the warden?

Yeah, of course.

Can you guys handle the truck robberies?

Sure. If we discover something, we'll call.

[sighs]

Mom, I am going to reach you.

Mom. Mom!

It's Nia!

- [crows cawing] - [grunts]

- [Nia screams] - I've got this.

You don't have to wake yourself up.

- Don't be scared. - Who are you? What do you want?

My name is Nyxly.

Wait. I've seen you before.

You were in my dreams.

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.

What do you mean, you crashed my dreams?

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.

Only Naltorians are supposed to be able

to enter the dream realm in physical form.

Technically, not only Naltorians.

I'm from the 5th Dimension.

- You're an imp. - 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.

What makes you think I can help?

On occasion, Naltorian women have been known

to manifest their dreams in the real world.

That's nothing to mess with.

It's dangerous to interfere with the laws of the universe.

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.

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

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.

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.

We can. With some limits.

I can only bring your mother back to life for exactly one day.

- Really? - 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? - I...

[bird screeching]

- [yelps] - [continues screeching]

[gasping]

Thank you. Hi, Warden.

Thank you so much for seeing us.

Always a pleasure to see CatCo's star reporter and her friends.

What can I do for you today?

We're here about the prison's Second Chances program.

There's nothing I enjoy talking about more.

We're literally changing lives.

Thanks in no small part to you, Ms. Danvers.

Since your article came out,

donors and corporate sponsors have been beating down our door.

That's great. Most people just see prison as a place to punish people.

They see the crime and not the person.

Not us. We respect our workers.

We teach them new skills, which helps them reenter society

as valuable and productive members.

Which is why I was worried when I heard from Kelly.

Uh, she has a young client who has a brother in the program.

There might be a problem.

Yeah, he's worried his brother is being injured

overusing his EMP powers on the job.

We don't know if he's a victim or an instigator.

I can't imagine a scenario where either one of those is true.

So, there have been no incidents involving EMP powers?

All aliens are continuously monitored on the work site,

and if anyone had used their powers, I would know about it.

- What's the worker's name? - Orlando Davis.

Well, I promise you, I'll check into it.

And if there's anything to the boy's concerns, I'll take care of it.

Could we see Orlando? I would love to tell Joey that we did.

I'm sorry. All visits need to be requested two weeks in advance.

In your next article, you could shed some light

on all the bureaucratic red tape around here.

[chuckles]

[Kelly] You sure this is gonna work?

You do remember I'm Supergirl?

Hi.

Kara Danvers and Kelly Olsen to see Orlando Davis.

Okay.

[typing]

Jeez. One moment.

[typing rapidly]

Sorry. What was that name again?

Uh, you know what? Actually, we made a mistake.

Uh, thanks, but we're gonna come back another time.

Okay.

What's wrong?

Orlando is already on his way to his job.

[officer] Orlando Davis.

- Oh, there's Orlando. - [officer] Keep it moving.

I said look alive, Orlando.

[Kelly] For someone having all of the opportunities

the warden touted, he doesn't look very happy.

No, he doesn't.

Good thing I can fly.

J'onn?

I tracked the Obscuran energy signature to this spot.

Chances are the Metalomite is there, too.

And a Toradine and a Dynamorph.

That van just pulled those incarcerated aliens

from a work-release site.

One of them is the brother of the orphan Kelly was telling us about.

Why would they be here?

[Orlando] It's crazy doing this in daylight.

[officer] It's what the boss wants.

Anyone tries to stop us, you boys can stop them.

No. No, you can make us steal, but we don't hurt people.

You do as you're told, or the one getting hurt is you.

They're being forced to steal against their will.

[grunts]

[grunting]

They're building a dirty nuke.

- It's Supergirl! - Pull out, now!

Let's move.

- Hurry. - Start the van.

[grunts]

[J'onn J'onzz groans]

- [engine starts] - Hit it.

[sighs]

The whereabouts of the five alien workers are unknown at this time,

but we believe that while they were making their escape,

they kidnapped Van Kull officer Larry Chapman.

That officer held them at gunpoint.

We need to find them.

Well, it's obvious someone who's infiltrated the prison program

is using Orlando and the other workers for their alien powers.

Exactly.

So we have a Metalomite who can warp metal,

a Toradine who creates force fields, an Obscuran who has cloaking abilities,

and a Dynamorph who can unleash energy blasts.

And Orlando is a Zeltarian who can produce EMPs.

I promised Joey I'd help,

and all I did was put his brother in danger.

They were threatened. I should have been able to save them.

The only people to blame are those behind all this.

Well, whoever they are, if they're dead set

on getting their hands on a dirty bomb, then they're bound to target

other sources of uranium.

Well, we can't let that happen, or they'd have enough material

- to make 20 bombs. - Contaminate the whole city.

We can start by following all five alien energy signatures.

Right now, there's no trace of them. I mean, they must be shielded somehow.

I'll... I don't know. I'll look for ways around it.

While you do that, I'm gonna head back to the prison.

Warden Kote needs to know the truth.

I should have run Joey's concerns about Orlando through the proper channels.

I only made things worse for everyone.

It was because of you wanting to help Joey

that we found out about Orlando and the others being exploited,

which then led us to finding out about the bomb.

The system is stacked against them,

and I don't know why I thought I could do anything about it.

The Kelly Olsen that I know and that I love, she never gives up.

When we rescued Kara from the Phantom Zone,

do you remember when you asked me if I was sure if I wanted to go?

Yeah, I remember.

I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to help.

So, in my fear vision, I was attacked

by Phantom versions of you and the others.

[growls]

Telling me that I would never...

be able to compete with everyone's powers and intellect.

That I was weak.

Maybe it was right.

I don't believe that.

You have to say that. You're my girlfriend.

No, I don't.

So... tell me how the fear vision ended.

[sighs] I, um...

I realized that even if I couldn't fight your Phantom selves,

maybe I could protect you instead.

So, I found a piece of shrapnel.

It reminded me of Jimmy's Guardian shield.

[Alex] Hmm.

And I used it to get between all of you and the Prime Phantom.

And, yeah, it worked. I brought you back.

Well, of course you did.

Because you are strong, and you are smart, and you are powerful.

Hey, we all have doubts,

but it's when you thought that you could protect me,

you took a risk.

And it's only when we take risks that we can really find out

who we're meant to be.

And Joey...

is very lucky to have you in his corner,

because you are a protector.

And you'll always be there for him.

Come here.

I don't believe it.

I'm sorry, but there is corruption in the Second Chances program.

The idea that anyone would abuse the workers like that,

it's unconscionable.

That is why we have to figure out who could have infiltrated the program.

And I'm telling you that that's impossible.

I personally put strict safeguards in place.

Look, I know this is hard, but this is so much more

than just a series of truck robberies.

Whoever's orchestrating this is building a dirty bomb.

- Where did you hear that? - Supergirl told me.

That's why you needed to know the truth.

I want to give you the chance to go on the record.

You can't write this story.

Without proof, they'll shut my program down.

Don't let the actions of a small group of criminals

ruin the good we're doing.

- Warden, I... - Kara, I promise you

that I will do a full internal investigation

once the alien escapees have been captured,

and once Officer Chapman is found safe.

I don't understand why you can't just see the truth.

You just need to drop this!

I'm sorry. This is just a very tense situation

involving dangerous alien criminals.

You can do a story after this all turns out

to just be a misunderstanding.

[owl hoots]

Wait. Wait. Mom!

Mom, I need you!

[crows caw]

[yelps]

Mom!

[Nyxly] 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.

Thanks. But no thanks.

- I don't understand. - Nyxly... I don't know you.

But I do know that imps on the whole are not to be trusted.

How would you like to be judged by your species, Nia?

- Aren't you a hero on Earth? - Yes, but...

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? - Of course I do.

Then let's help each other!

- [owl hooting] - [Nyxly groans]

That monstrous bird.

Get out of here! Shoo!

[owl in female voice] The wise understand by themselves, Nia.

Fools follow the words of others.

Don't listen to that stupid owl.

Owls will bring to light what is in the dark.

- They're symbols of truth. - [Nyxly] 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.

I don't think owls are that devious.

My mother revered them.

[owl] Wisdom lies not in seeing things, but in seeing through them.

Oh, shut up, you ghoul.

Nia...

[scoffs]

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.

I don't know.

You can trust me.

[owl screeches]

Ugh! Leave us alone!

[William] What are you working on?

I'm trying to find out as much as I can about Warden Kote at Van Kull Prison.

Your friend doesn't still work for the CIA, do they?

Yeah. Why? You're looking for a deep dive on the warden?

Would you mind asking?

Sure. Happy to help.

Oh, good. Then help me understand this.

I gave you two an assignment.

Get me an interview with one of the Super Friends.

Now, two of them were at the same place at the same time,

and where were you?

- Not there. - [William] Andrea, we can actually...

[Andrea] No, no, no. I don't want to hear your excuses.

Not only did you miss a golden opportunity to get me what I want,

but CatCo was scooped by every other news outlet.

I can't bring myself to look at our Media Tracker ratings after this.

Who cares about the ratings?

What?

I, uh...

You keep saying you want CatCo to be

the most trusted source of news in National City.

Yes. Of course I do.

Our readers need hard-hitting and truthful reporting

- now more than ever. - Then let us do our job,

instead of making us chase the Super Friends around.

They aren't the story.

For any of us to do our jobs, CatCo needs eyeballs,

and the Super Friends can get them for us.

The more we have, the better our ratings, the better our bottom line.

And that's the reality.

I suggest you remember that.

Now, back to work.

[sighs]

- [Joey exclaims] - [Ms. Hochschild] Joey, Joey, stop this.

Joey, I'm warning you.

- [device trilling] - [Joey grunting]

- [Joey] It hurts. - What are you doing?

I'm suppressing his powers.

He's in pain.

- No, he is fine. - [device powers off]

[Joey panting]

What on earth are you doing here?

I came to check on Joey, and I am glad I did.

He is obviously terrified about his brother,

and this is how you treat him?

You may not agree with my methods,

but it is my job to keep this place in order,

and to teach those kids that actions have consequences.

I wonder how your bosses would feel about your teaching methods

if they ever saw the security videos.

Do you think anyone has time to look at what goes on in here?

If you're not gonna protect these children...

I will.

Listen, Ms. Olsen.

I have been working in this system longer than you've been alive.

So, go ahead. I wish you all the best.

So, from what I see, there is no way the warden could afford

a luxury beach house, luxury cars,

and first-class travel on his prison salary.

No, but he could by having a secret offshore account in the Caymans.

My buddy in the CIA just sent me these.

[sighs, clicks tongue]

He's been depositing large sums of money on a regular basis.

Well, I guess what they say is true.

- Follow the money. - I'm sorry, Kara.

When you wrote your article on the work-release program,

I remember how highly you thought of him and what he was trying to accomplish.

Yeah, well, I was a fool for believing in him.

It's not your fault he's corrupt.

Power can bring out the best in some people,

and the worst in others.

Look, there's very little oversight for private, for-profit prisons.

I'm sure that made it easier for the warden

to become vulnerable to outside influences.

The question is, who's doing the influencing?

The prison contracted Summerlin Industries

for the work-release program.

I traced it through two dozen different subsidiaries and tax ID numbers.

- Yeah, no doubt shell companies. - Mmm.

The trail dead-ends with an LLC

registered in Panama under the name Cypress Holdings.

I know that name.

Yes. I was looking into Cypress Holdings while you were away with Cat Grant.

I had good reason to suspect it had ties to Mob boss Bruno Mannheim's Intergang,

but never could prove a direct link.

That's it. Cypress Holdings is a front for Intergang.

William, you're brilliant. I gotta go. Thank you.

Sure.

Kara Danvers, she came to see me again.

It is only a matter of time before the truth comes out.

Maybe you should bring those workers back and we can make up a story

- and go back to the way it was. - It's too late.

Nobody said anything about a dirty bomb.

It's what Mr. Mannheim wants.

We're going after the uranium again tonight.

When the job's done,

you won't have to worry about the truth getting out.

The alien workers will be dead.

[engine revs]

You were right, Kara. I searched all known Intergang hideouts.

Picked up an energy signature.

They must be using it to conceal Orlando and the other aliens.

That's their van.

[Officer Chapman] Listen up.

After tonight, your services will no longer be needed.

I'll deactivate your power-dampening cuffs, and you'll be free.

You're just gonna let us go?

You have my word.

Okay, time to move out.

No one's going anywhere.

You heard the man.

[both grunt]

It's okay. You're safe now.

We know that you've been forced to use your powers to steal,

that you didn't kidnap Officer Chapman.

We're gonna take you back to the prison and explain everything.

Let's get you out of here.

We're getting out of here, but not with you.

[both yelp]

[both grunt]

[footsteps running]

[Supergirl] Please, we just want to help.

Like we haven't heard that before.

Let us pass!

He's collapsing the building! I've got it.

You want to take us back...

to explain, to make it all okay?

You don't get it.

The system doesn't care. It never has. And it never will.

You're right. I don't know what will happen.

But I do know that if you decide to go on the run...

that system will never stop hunting you.

You will never know a moment's peace, and neither will Joey.

- What do you know about my brother? - That you have shared hardships,

that you love and need each other.

I begged Social Services for help...

but they didn't listen.

And who's gonna rent a place to a guy making minimum wage?

So, I tried to rob a store.

When you're desperate, you'll do anything.

In prison, I believed what they said...

that the work-release program would be the answer

to Joey and me being together again.

It turned out to be another lie.

Face it, okay?

No one wants to help people like me.

People like them.

[Supergirl] I'm an alien on this planet, too.

I've seen how hard life can be

for the people that the system isn't designed for,

how that system can fail those less fortunate.

But I promise you, if you come with me,

I will do everything in my power to make sure your voices are heard.

Please.

Please...

don't let us down.

I won't.

Tonight, Van Kull Prison warden Wyatt Kote and others were arrested

in connection with an alleged plot

to use aliens in the prison's work-release program

to commit crimes for the notorious Intergang Mob syndicate.

Here with me to discuss it is Supergirl.

Thank you for joining us.

If these allegations are true, how could something like this happen?

Well, clearly, the system is broken when those in power are allowed

to abuse that power entrusted to them.

I'm angry that criminals were allowed to infiltrate

a worthwhile program like Second Chances,

but I'm glad that it will continue with new oversight.

And what do you think should be done with the alien workers?

They should be shown leniency.

Now, that's the kind of reporting I'd like to see.

Great job, William.

Kara, you should take a page out of William's book.

Okay. Everybody, back to work.

[William] Just so you know, Supergirl came to me at the scene.

- It was dumb luck I was the one there. - I'm glad you were there.

Well, Andrea is happy.

Yeah, but she still doesn't get it.

I mean, this is so much more than an interview with Supergirl.

This is about telling the public the truth about issues that matter.

Well, we shined a light on what was happening at the prison,

we exposed the abuse, and we stopped an Intergang crime spree.

What about the abuses happening in other places?

We will root them out and report on them, too.

When? In between our stories about the Super Friends' favorite hobbies?

Okay, don't hate me for saying this, but I think Andrea has a point.

When Supergirl speaks, people listen.

If an interview with her can make people hear the message...

I'm all for it.

I don't know how that security video ended up in my supervisor's inbox.

It's obviously a fake.

I mean, somebody must have hacked my computer.

Is she really gone for good?

Yes. You all deserve to be protected by someone who cares about you.

And I have one more surprise for you.

- [Joey] Orlando! - [chuckling]

- Come here. - [Joey chuckles]

What are you doing here?

The judge pardoned me,

said it was unfair what they did to me and the others.

Which means I'm out. I'm never going back.

[mouthing]

Oh.

You did all of this, didn't you?

Sorry, Esme, I, um... I don't know what you're talking about.

Don't worry. I'll keep your secret.

This house needed a guardian angel. And now we have you.

[sighs]

- Hey. - Hi.

Rough day?

It definitely started that way.

- Thank you. - Of course.

But for the first time...

in a long time...

I felt completely exhilarated.

I felt empowered.

And today, I saw I made a real difference.

I told you, the Kelly Olsen that I love never gives up.

I know what I need to do, Alex.

This community needs someone who is willing to fight for them,

even when the system isn't listening.

Yeah.

It's time to pick up where Jimmy left off.

I want to be the new Guardian.

I have something for you.

What?

Okay.

What is this? [chuckles]

Okay.

Open it.

The moment I saw you use that shield during Crisis,

I had a hunch that this might be coming.

So, I reached out to James.

And he sent this for you.

I don't think there is anyone better fit to be the next Guardian.

I don't know what to say...

except I love you.

Well, we'll see how you feel after we start your training.

[both laughing]

Hey.

[sighs]

- To Guardian. - To Guardian.

- Mom. - You came back.

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

As soon as I get out of here and replenish my powers,

I'll go straight home.

And if I help you,

we have a deal.

And you bring my mom back for 24 hours.

Imps never break their deals.

Are you in?

[owl hoots]

I'm in.
