Quotes 

• Brainiac-5 : There's no sign of either Nxyly or Lex's energy signatures.

  Kelly Olsen : This is bad.

  Alex Danvers : [Kara gets off the elevator]  Hey, how are you feeling?

  Supergirl : [hugging]  I'll be fine once we find Lex and Nxyly. Where's Nia?

  Alex Danvers : She's trying to dream up their location.

  Kelly Olsen : How did they even meet?

  J'onn J'onnz : We've been monitoring LuthorCorp's chatter in the underworld on Lex's activities. Nothing popped. We thought he was laying low.

  Brainiac-5 : He was. Just... just not in this century. The explosion Lex used, that tech is from the 31st century. And now Lex has his hands on it.

  Alex Danvers : Wait, are you saying Lex went to the future?

  Supergirl : All that matters is that two of the worst villains we have ever faced are now working together, and we need something big to stop them.

  Brainiac-5 : We do have two weapons we haven't considered using yet. The totems. We use our totems to take Lex and Nxyly's courage. Or give them humanity.

  Alex Danvers : So if we do it the reverse, then it could take our humanity.

  J'onn J'onnz : Alex is right. The totems' consequences are too unpredictable.

  Supergirl : I agree. It's... it's too risky. And-And we always said we were going to protect the totems.

  J'onn J'onnz : Maybe there's a way we can use the totems' energy, but not as a weapon. At the Hague, Nxyly used the Courage totem as a shield. Is there a way we can replicate that?

  Brainiac-5 : I can make a prototype. But we'll have to activate the totems to see if it'll work.

  Supergirl : J'onn and I can do that. Brainy, you get working on that shield. Alex, Kelly, you two are on patrol. If Lex and Nxyly are working together, this city is the most vulnerable it's ever been.

• Kelly Olsen : That kid is really something, isn't she?

  Alex Danvers : Yeah, she is.

  Kelly Olsen : We're very lucky.

  Alex Danvers : Yes, we are. You know, I knew I wanted to be a mom, but I never imagined what it would be like to be with such an amazing partner.

  Kelly Olsen : The world may throw us a lot of curveballs, but the one thing that I am certain about is us.

  [with a whoosh, a portal opens and Nxyly appears] 

  Kelly Olsen : It's showtime.

• J'onn J'onnz : I hit the Love totem with all the energy of the Courage totem. Do you think it still works?

  Brainiac-5 : It's not emitting any fifth-dimensional energy like it should be. And, you know, it turned black.

  Kelly Olsen : If the Love totem is destroyed, does that mean all the love in the world is diminished?

  Alex Danvers : You know, I-I don't think all the love in the world has been diminished. You want to know why, out of all the pockets in all of the world, that totem appeared in mine? It's because of how much love I feel for each one of you. And it doesn't go away just because that thing turned black. It's still here. And I know it because I can feel it. It's... it's the truest love. Kelly...

  [beckoning her forward and taking her hands] 

  Alex Danvers : Earlier today, I was... I was so anxious because I convinced myself that if you and I didn't have the perfect proposal that our future would be doomed. And thinking about that, that sounds absolutely ridiculous. And from the moment that we met... you and I have been surrounded by chaos. From blackouts to black holes. We fought monsters. I mean, God, we even loved each other through the end of the universe. And not even that could tear us apart. Kelly Olsen...

  [getting down on one knee] 

  Alex Danvers : I love you with every fiber of my being. You are the person that I want to watch "Die Hard" with for the rest of my life. Will you marry me?

  Kelly Olsen : Yes. Yes. Of course, yes.

• Alex Danvers : Okay, Al, I know that you said this place was booked, but...

  [she trails off upon seeing the bar decorated] 

  Kelly Olsen , Esme : Surprise!

  Alex Danvers : Wait, you-you're the one who booked it? How did you even do this?

  Kelly Olsen : Uh, I had some help. William was in on it.

  Esme : You two had the same plan. It's fate!

  Kelly Olsen : Alex, I wanted to surprise you tonight because... it's the anniversary of the first time I realized I loved you. I love everything about you. Your passion. And your compassion. The way that you fight for people that you love. But you never let it harden you. The way that you make space for me to be the truest version of myself. You are more than my love. You are my perfect match. And when I'm with you, my soul feels... complete.

  [taking out a ring-sized box] 

  Kelly Olsen : Alex Danvers, will you...

  Alex Danvers : Okay, no, no, no. No, wait, wait, wait. Wait. Wait. Look, I-I wanted to be the first to do this.

  [taking a pink rose out of her pocket] 

  Alex Danvers : Oh, crap.

  Kelly Olsen : Wh-What is that?

  Alex Danvers : That's the Love totem.

  Esme : [a portal opens, and Lex and Nxyly appear]  Supergirl!

  Supergirl : [landing in front of them with J'onn]  Get her out of here.
