Supergirl (2015–…): Season 4, Episode 9 - Elseworlds, Part 3 - full transcript
Supergirl, The Flash, Green Arrow and Superman face the battle of their lives.
My name is John Deegan,
and I'm from Gotham,
a city in grave need
of heroes.
As a doctor at Arkham Asylum,
I did my part
by protecting this city
from the criminally insane.
The world didn't understand
my methods,
so I worked in secret
until, one day,
when a cosmic being
recognized my potential
and gave me the chance
to be something greater.
Someone greater.
Now, I am Superman.
Previously
on Arrow and Flash...
The world thinks
that you're Oliver Queen
and that I'm Barry Allen,
and I would really
like to know why.
So what's
our next move?
We're going to Gotham City.
Who are you
and why are you helping us?
Kane. Kate Kane.
He calls
himself the Monitor.
He's been unleashing
the Book of Destiny
across the multiverse
to test different Earths.
A crisis is
imminent. Someone is coming.
Someone far, far
more powerful than myself.
I mean to prepare.
He did it again.
He rewrote reality.
Superman!
There's no place you can run
where I can't find you.
It's over.
What're you talking about?
Clark, it's us.
Barry and Oliver.
Oh, I know who you are.
Your confusion lies with me.
Deegan.
The Monitor
gave you the book back?
And showed me
how to really use it.
You can't just
write yourself as a hero.
It doesn't work that way.
Doesn't it, though?
You were struck by lightning.
I was given the book
by a higher power.
Both random acts of chance.
But this, this is my destiny.
So much more than becoming
the Flash was ever yours.
People don't become heroes
because of circumstance.
They become heroes
in spite of circumstance.
You're just a cheap knockoff.
Oh, I'm anything but cheap.
And just wait till you see
what other fun changes
I've made.
To your family, your friends.
There is no
safe harbor for you.
This is no longer your world.
It's mine!
Hey. I have an idea.
Idiot, I'm bulletproof.
I know.
You wanna be
Earth's hero?
Save the children or stop us.
Your choice, Superman.
Being bad makes me
feel bad, man.
The crane gag was harmless.
It would've landed
in an empty parking lot.
Still, man. I don't know.
Just doing something
like that on purpose,
I think I'm gonna puke.
I'm...
-No, I'm okay, I'm okay.
We need to find out
how extensive
this reality-change is,
-and we need to
get off the streets. Come on.
I can't get anything
coming up. I can't...
Wait up. I have a plan.
-Congratulations, sir.
-The way you caught
that crane,
like it weighed nothing.
Very, very impressive.
The fugitives escaped!
Sir, we are quite sure
you will bring them
back to justice.
No one can escape Superman.
You really think so?
Sir, you are far too powerful.
Ah, you're right.
You're right.
Sir, the pipeline.
Must be subject one.
She's been making noise
all morning.
-I'll handle this.
-No!
You stay on Allen and Queen.
I'll handle her.
I know the real man
who wears that glyph.
It's not you.
You're not Superman.
And yet, I am all
that you once were.
No offense to Barry Allen,
but as a hero, you...
You are so much more
than just faster
than a speeding bullet.
So, you're imitating my powers
and my family crest,
but not my gender?
-Too afraid to be a woman?
-Oh, I'm not afraid
of anything.
The Book of Destiny
revealed to me
all there is to know about
Barry Allen and Oliver Queen,
but for you
and this Man of Steel,
there was nothing.
Nothing but the android
you fought in Central City.
It's...
It's as if you don't exist
in this world.
That's why you locked me up
and dampened my powers.
I don't know who you are.
I don't know how you got here,
but none of that matters
because I am now you.
New and improved.
And you will never see
the light of day again.
I'm gonna stop you.
There's nothing to stop.
I am the hero
this planet needs.
Thank you, Agent Danvers.
These cells
are patrolled 24/7,
so don't get any bright ideas,
or you will end up
hurting in a very painful way.
The only way
out of here for you
is in a casket.
Wait! Alex.
Oh...
Oh, you think
you know that agent.
You see, I scrambled
the reality of everyone
on this Earth.
No one is who they were.
But I guess
even rewritten destiny
has a way of playing jokes.
You be a good prisoner,
or I kill her.
-You're a monster.
-No.
I'm Superman.
-Okay, we--
-Get Cisco,
breach to Earth-38,
find real Superman.
That's the plan.
As long as this Cisco's
willing to help us.
The last alternate version
of Cisco I met
was not super-helpful.
Who knows how he's been
rewritten this time?
Gentlemen.
It's time we talked
about your destiny.
I must confess,
my interest is piqued.
You possess neither power
nor abilities,
yet still managed
to outwit an opponent
with the powers
of a super man.
It's just one word,
"Superman."
What is this?
Hmm? If you're testing us,
then let us get back to it.
Oliver Queen,
a man who channels
his hubris and anger
and calls it strength.
Are you truly
that eager to die?
No. Not eager.
But willing.
Ready to.
Good.
There might be hope
for this universe yet.
If that's supposed to be
a pep talk, I've had better.
Self-sacrifice alone
will not see you
through this trial.
Survival will only be found
by knowing your true self,
or this world will be doomed,
like all the others.
Okay, that's enough.
Well, that was very
glass-half-empty.
We need to find Cisco.
Okay, well,
if us good guys are bad guys,
stands to reason
that our good-guy friend
is now a bad guy.
Sure. You're CCPD.
Where do criminals
hang out in this city?
-Are they all afraid of us?
-Go with it.
-This is a terrible idea.
-You keep saying that.
And yet, here we are anyway.
-We need allies and resources.
-[scoffs]
Oh, my God, the Trigger Twins.
Sorry, I'm just a huge fan
of your criminal history.
You guys are my heroes.
Well, not heroes. Legends.
Can I get you guys something?
Apparently, we need
allies and resources.
We're looking for Cisco Ramon.
You mean the boss?
Sure.
Well, that's not nothing.
Alex.
How do you know my name?
I'm not from this Earth.
Where I come from,
we're sisters.
You? You are as
despicable as they come.
I mean, the stories
of all the twisted things
that you've done...
Alex, I know things look
one way to you,
that I look one way to you,
but the way things are,
it's not real.
Not really real.
And if you just
let me explain,
I can tell you--
You are dangerous,
and you are clearly crazy,
and I have work to do.
No, wait. Wait,
just let me explain.
I can tell you everything.
We need to talk.
Make an appointment
with my assistant.
I should have an opening
around "go screw yourself."
Cisco, we need your help.
Listen.
I don't know
who you think you are.
But around here,
people call me Mr. Ramon.
You got a problem there,
Mr. Ramon?
Case in point.
Jimmy, I think
the Pet Shop Boys
here need an education
in how things
work around here.
I don't think
that should be a problem.
They don't call me
Superman's worst pal
for nothing.
Look, we don't want
any trouble.
We just have
a business proposal
for Mr. Ramon.
Business proposal.
I'm gonna pass.
You see, I like watching
my people put a beating
on other people. So...
So, I guess we got that
in common.
We've got this, right?
Totally.
Is now an okay time
to ask for a selfie?
Stop. Stop. Stop.
Jimmy, what are you thinking?
What, are you gonna kill 'em
here, now?
Gary's still cleaning up
from the last mess you made,
Clockwork Orange.
Do 'em out in the alley.
All right, come on. Let's go.
Wait, wait! I knew
your brother. Dante!
Stop. Hold up.
How do you know Dante?
It's a long story.
If he were here,
he'd tell you
to listen to our proposal.
What's our proposal?
How'd you like to
get rid of Superman?
All right, I've got
ledgers to keep and
miles to go before I sleep,
so talk fast.
Right. But first,
we need to know
if you can vibe.
-Can I vibe?
-Teleport.
Open a breach.
You can still do that, right?
Rhetorical question.
How do you think
I got into all those
bank vaults?
But you,
you didn't know that.
You came in here not knowing
if I could do
what you thought I could do.
That's very risky.
We're kind of desperate.
Please keep giving me
more reasons to not do
business with you.
All right, listen.
You could use your powers
for so much more
than breaking into
bank vaults.
Go back to the part
about taking down Super-dick.
That's the part I wanna hear.
We're gonna get to that.
For now, I could teach you
how to use your powers
to get to
a whole different Earth.
A whole different Earth.
Tell me more.
Danvers.
The big guy is out,
-chasing down
a lead on the Twins.
-Ah.
You know, Diggle can monitor
these sorry sacks
from upstairs.
-Why don't you take
the night off?
-It's okay.
I still have some work to do.
You know,
that's the third time
in just as many weeks
I've told you to go home,
and you've turned me down.
You know,
this sorry little pout's
really bringing me down.
So, why don't you
want to go home?
Boyfriend troubles?
-No.
No boyfriend presently.
-Boyfriend?
Hmm. I thought you were
dating that dweeb in IT.
Not impressed, by the way.
Okay, it was
a couple of dates.
And now he's dating Pam in HR.
Ooh. Boy's got a type.
Also not impressed.
You need to leave this place.
You've got to get a life.
Look, I love what I do.
The work is important.
Well, now you
sound like the big guy.
And you and I both know
I don't mean that
as a compliment.
Look, I'm sure the work
we do for the city is great,
but half of what we do
around here is really
just to prop his ego up.
Truth, justice,
and the American way?
More like me, myself, and I.
Hmm, yeah.
All work and no play
doesn't just make a girl dull.
It turns your heart to ice.
And trust me, that ain't fun.
I appreciate the offer,
but I'm gonna stay
just the same.
Suit yourself.
-Oh, thank God we're here.
-Yeah.
-Only took 17 tries.
-Yeah.
Oh, I see. You're a comedian.
Hey, guess what.
Your friend is a comedian.
Still Barry?
-Oh, no. We--
-No. Yeah.
Oh. So it's fixed.
That's great.
Eh...
Oh, no.
Kara?
Mr. Ramon. Am I supposed to
believe this guy is Superman?
What, did you get him
off the street?
You don't even look like him.
Hey, uh, what's this?
Yeah, you, uh... You really
shouldn't touch that.
Hey, you could throw
a party with this thing.
Get some party favors.
You know, I know a guy.
Look, everything
is back to normal.
Well, not everything.
Where's Kara?
Alex, please. Stop!
He warned you.
I promise
I won't try to escape again.
How do you know that?
Alex Danvers taught it to me.
I told you,
I'm not from this Earth.
The Alex on my Earth
spent a summer in Nagano
with Jeremiah and Eliza
when she was six.
She was homesick.
And a girl from the village
helped her sneak down to
one of the temples one night.
She wrote a note,
and she put it
in a crack in the wall,
hoping it would come true.
I was seven, not six.
And that little girl
in the village,
she taught me that rhyme.
-It means...
-"Pinky swear."
And my Alex taught it to me
the first night we snuck out
together to go flying.
My Alex was always
drawn to service.
So it's not surprising
that you care deeply,
so deeply,
about this world
and all the people in it.
But on my Earth?
Alex doesn't just have a job.
She's in charge
of a place like this.
She's in charge?
She's a leader
who is just and proud.
When someone tells her
to do something
she knows is wrong,
she gives them hell.
And she does what's right.
She doesn't
have powers like I do,
but she's a hero.
And she has the biggest heart
of anyone I know,
even though she doesn't
always like to show it.
And she has good friends.
A real family of support
that she's created
for herself.
And she doesn't hide
who she is.
She wants a wife.
And kids.
She's optimistic
that she could have it all.
It's not an "if."
It's a "when."
-She sounds pretty awesome.
-She is.
And I know I'm not your sister
on this planet.
I guess my pod
didn't land here, but...
You're still that person.
I can tell.
I know it.
Superman rewrote
this reality to make us
all his prisoners.
I think you're smart enough
to see through him.
If I were to let you
out of that cell,
you'd, what, stop him?
Pinky swear.
He's changed
all of Central City.
Maybe even the whole world.
Everybody thinks he's you,
and we're bad.
I mean, I am bad.
Bottom line,
Kara is nowhere to be found.
If we get
the book back,
we should be able
to rewrite reality again.
Yeah? And how
you gonna do that?
You got a magic pen lying
around somewhere
behind these ice walls?
It's not a pen.
It's just the mind.
I've encountered
books like this before.
The author writes things
into existence
through sheer force of will.
But changing the story
comes at a cost.
Do you have any idea
where the book is?
If I were him, I'd keep it
somewhere secure enough
to also hold a Kryptonian.
Easy. S.T.A.R. Labs.
That place
is under lock and key.
I did time there once.
-Hey. So did we.
-We did.
What did you do?
Did I say you could touch me?
Did I say he could touch me?
I missed that part.
-I have to go.
-You have to go.
Well, well, well.
A traitor in our midst.
You know, when I said
you should get out there
and start dating, Danvers,
this isn't quite
what I had in mind.
I warned you.
No, I tricked her
into opening my cell.
-We don't know each other.
-Yes, we do.
She's my sister.
Aw.
Well, then
you can burn together.
Hi.
Nice suit.
Doctor, could I have
a word, please?
Well, that's my cue.
I'm out. You ladies have fun.
-Go get the book.
-Yes!
Alex, you're here.
What are you doing here?
-A badass
in every reality. Got it.
No, no, no. It's okay.
He's not actually bad.
-No?
-No, he's fine.
-No--
-No, I'm good.
-I'm sorry.
-No, it's fine.
-Badass. It's fine.
-Sorry.
It's okay.
Where would Deegan, um...
Superman keep
something valuable?
Anything of importance to him,
he keeps in a place called
the Fortress of Solitude.
I'll take you there.
I just came
from the Fortress of Solitude.
Mayday! Mayday!
We've lost control. I can't
hold it. We're going down!
Bizarro!
How does it feel
to be the villain for once?
This isn't
a fortress of anything.
This is the time vault.
It's unlocked.
All right, well,
how does one
go about rewriting reality?
Well...
You must still be weak
from The Pipeline.
Are you okay?
I don't know
how Deegan did it.
Well, can I suggest
that whatever it is
you need to find out,
we do far away from here?
-Clark knew
how to do it.
-I'll get this to him.
Superman.
Clark, we need you
to open this.
Fix things.
He's doing it.
Yeah.
Hey.
Make him close it,
or I snap his neck.
No!
Then your friend dies.
-Not if I kill you first.
-Oliver, don't.
Not to save me.
You don't have to do this.
You don't have to
channel your darkness.
You can overcome it.
You can be different.
You can be better.
Maybe that's it.
Maybe that's
the Monitor's test.
You really look just like him.
I hope that's where
the resemblance ends.
So he really rewrote the world
with that book?
He rewrote my life?
Yeah.
It's funny.
Because I feel like
this was always me.
But I guess
everybody does, right?
This is you.
Someone who is willing
to stand up for what's right.
I mean, after all of this
goes back to normal,
that'll still be who you are.
Your sister
is a very lucky woman.
I'm a lucky sister.
Okay. Go.
Save the world.
What's happening?
Deegan must be
rewriting reality again.
Or destroying it.
There might be a way
to slow him down.
We literally
slow down time.
Come on, that's got to be
like only the
fourth most crazy thing
you've heard
in the past three hours.
How do we
slow down time, Barry?
If Supergirl and I
travel around the globe
in opposite directions
at just over mach 7,
we should be able to create
enough centrifugal force
to slow the Earth's rotation.
And everything else.
Rip the book
out of Deegan's hands,
and everything
goes back to normal.
We can do this.
You both die.
When I opened the book,
I watched both of you die,
doing exactly
what you're talking about.
If it's in the book--
It's destiny.
I believe Clark.
We have to try something.
-You ready?
-Yeah.
Kara.
Where are you going?
I have an idea.
Just [sighs] get the book.
And Barry and Kara?
We need to hope
destinies can be rewritten.
Novu!
I know you're in there,
you son of a bitch!
I'm not afraid of you.
I'm not impressed by you!
Stop with these games,
and show yourself!
So much passion.
And hubris.
To think,
that if you just yell loud
enough you can command a god.
You're not a god.
Yet, there isn't a name
for what I am,
so I suppose
"god" will have to do.
Your time is limited.
I'm not sure what
little remains is best spent
making demands of me.
I already told you
what you had to do.
I know what happens
to Barry and Kara.
Mmm.
And now you're here
in the faint hope
I can alter it.
Well, you just said
you were a god.
Now, I don't think
you're testing us to see
if we're strong enough.
I think you're testing us
to see if we are good enough.
And I don't think,
in any of the universes
you've tested,
that anyone has ever stood
and confronted you like this.
Yes.
You are the first
in a multitude.
I'm not who you need!
You said I'd pass the test
if I knew my true self.
My true self
is filled with darkness.
But Barry and Kara
are different.
They inspire hope.
They inspire people
because they are
the best of us.
And if this test of yours
is gonna kill our best chance
at stopping this crisis,
well, as gods go,
you're not a very smart one.
The universe is
a complex piece of machinery,
and balance
must be maintained.
One change requires another.
How would you propose
I keep the balance?
You can't just
wear that symbol
on your chest
and call yourself
a hero, Deegan.
Our powers amplify who we are.
And the way you've been
using yours
tells me you don't have
the mettle for this.
No. No, you're wrong.
I didn't think big enough.
I won't
make that mistake again.
You see?
There is no defeating me!
I am the master of this world!
Blah, blah, blah.
That's a bit much,
don't you think?
Honey?
Yes, dear?
An enormous robot
with the powers
of Superman.
This is exciting.
Thank you for including me.
I'll protect the civilians.
Finish this.
-It's over, Deegan.
-No!
I decide when the story ends!
I liked you better in blue.
Lois.
-Told you you'd catch me.
Barry and Kara,
you had more faith than I did.
Well, I don't Kara
as well as I know Barry,
but when things get tough,
he doesn't slow down.
He digs deep and runs faster.
That's my cousin to a T.
Then you know
why I had faith in them.
Does the book
say anything about
what I should do with this?
Amazo's motherboard.
So this is kind of becoming
an annual thing, huh?
-God, I hope not.
Is that a... [gasps]
Are you smiling?
I kind of like you guys.
-Don't tell anyone.
I hope to
see you all again soon.
Preferably without giving Lois
another reason
to dive headfirst into danger.
-I dive where you dive, babe.
-Hmm.
Cisco, would you
do the honors?
Anything for
my favorite Kryptonian.
That's right.
I have a favorite Kryptonian.
Yes. A good choice.
Well...
Until next time.
Peace out
from your favorite Kryptonian.
Wow, you did so much work
while I was gone.
This place looks amazing.
Yeah, well, I wanted to
make sure it was all good
for Ma.
Aw.
So, uh, Brainy and J'onn
went back to National City?
Duty calls.
Well,
I hope you realize
that being a part of the DEO
or not being
a part of the DEO,
you don't need an organization
to keep the world safe.
And no matter the universe,
you and Alex,
you'll find a way
to have each other's backs.
Yeah, you're right.
Like, you really are
so much
stronger than me, Kara.
Every time we're together,
I see it.
-Mmm...
-Which is why
I know what I'm doing is okay.
What are you doing, Clark?
You need to stop
beating around the bush.
People like people
who are direct.
What is going on?
I told you
we had a lot of fun on Argo.
-Lois. Lois--
-We're all adults.
Are you having a baby?
-[Clark chuckles]
-Oh, my God! Oh, my God!
Yes!
Congratulations!
This is so great!
I'm so happy for you.
And the safest place
for Lois to be is on Argo.
When the baby
starts kicking...
Oh, yeah, that would be awful.
So, you're gone
another nine months?
Uh...
A little longer than that.
Look, this fight, it...
It reminded me of everything
that I could lose.
But the only reason
I feel safe
hanging up my cape for a while
is because of you.
The world
doesn't need Superman
if it has Supergirl.
It's actually
probably a bit safer.
-Oh.
-A study
out of Harvard last year
said that women respond better
than men
-under competitive pressure.
-Huh.
We are better in a crisis.
More apt to ask questions
before punching.
-Hmm.
-Not that
you are not totally terrific.
Uh-huh.
Bottom line,
the world is safe with you.
Aw. I'm gonna miss you guys.
Honestly, the world might be
fine with just Kara Danvers.
Your cousin ain't half bad.
Clark. Clark.
-What?
-What... It's burning.
Oh! Oh, no. No.
Next time,
use your heat vision.
-Oh, you're right.
I'm sorry.
I just wanted tonight
to be special.
Why?
Because I want every night
to be special.
I mean, with you.
But also special...
-...forever.
With you...
I'm so bad at this.
What did I tell you in Kansas?
Be direct.
Lois Lane...
-That's all I had to say?
-Yeah.
I like this direct thing.
-Hmm.
It's nice to be able to feel
the effects of alcohol again.
Yeah. Super speed
has its pluses
and its minuses.
Always hungry.
I was burning holes
in my shoes.
You're not gonna miss anything
about it?
There were a few times
where I was running so fast,
it was like
things were standing still...
Everything just felt really
clear to me.
I'm gonna miss that.
-Flashtime.
-What?
That's just what I call it.
You really have a name
for everything.
So I feel like I should be
thanking you for something.
The Monitor.
-You talked to him,
didn't you?
-Mmm-hmm.
You got him to change
our destinies somehow.
You and Kara
changed your destinies, Barry,
by being the heroes
that you always have been.
Hey, I've been you.
I lived it. I felt it.
You're a good man.
So are you.
Even if you don't want
people to believe it.
I'm not as good
as you think I am.
But because of you,
I think
I'll get there someday.
-Should we hug it out?
-No. No.
And I really mean it
this time.
Twice, you've made me hug you.
-No.
-All right.
Okay? I mean it.
I will propose a toast.
To appreciating what you have,
however long
you might have it.
Excuse me.
I thought
you were done with us.
Wishful thinking.
I just came from Arkham.
Tell me
this deranged doctor of yours
isn't going to be
a bigger problem.
Deegan? Why?
Because I hear
he's made a friend.
Don't worry, Doctor.
Everything is
as it should be.
The stage is set.
Worlds will live.
Worlds will die.
And the universe
will never be the same.
Merry Christmas and A Happy New Year!!!
See you in January !!
and I'm from Gotham,
a city in grave need
of heroes.
As a doctor at Arkham Asylum,
I did my part
by protecting this city
from the criminally insane.
The world didn't understand
my methods,
so I worked in secret
until, one day,
when a cosmic being
recognized my potential
and gave me the chance
to be something greater.
Someone greater.
Now, I am Superman.
Previously
on Arrow and Flash...
The world thinks
that you're Oliver Queen
and that I'm Barry Allen,
and I would really
like to know why.
So what's
our next move?
We're going to Gotham City.
Who are you
and why are you helping us?
Kane. Kate Kane.
He calls
himself the Monitor.
He's been unleashing
the Book of Destiny
across the multiverse
to test different Earths.
A crisis is
imminent. Someone is coming.
Someone far, far
more powerful than myself.
I mean to prepare.
He did it again.
He rewrote reality.
Superman!
There's no place you can run
where I can't find you.
It's over.
What're you talking about?
Clark, it's us.
Barry and Oliver.
Oh, I know who you are.
Your confusion lies with me.
Deegan.
The Monitor
gave you the book back?
And showed me
how to really use it.
You can't just
write yourself as a hero.
It doesn't work that way.
Doesn't it, though?
You were struck by lightning.
I was given the book
by a higher power.
Both random acts of chance.
But this, this is my destiny.
So much more than becoming
the Flash was ever yours.
People don't become heroes
because of circumstance.
They become heroes
in spite of circumstance.
You're just a cheap knockoff.
Oh, I'm anything but cheap.
And just wait till you see
what other fun changes
I've made.
To your family, your friends.
There is no
safe harbor for you.
This is no longer your world.
It's mine!
Hey. I have an idea.
Idiot, I'm bulletproof.
I know.
You wanna be
Earth's hero?
Save the children or stop us.
Your choice, Superman.
Being bad makes me
feel bad, man.
The crane gag was harmless.
It would've landed
in an empty parking lot.
Still, man. I don't know.
Just doing something
like that on purpose,
I think I'm gonna puke.
I'm...
-No, I'm okay, I'm okay.
We need to find out
how extensive
this reality-change is,
-and we need to
get off the streets. Come on.
I can't get anything
coming up. I can't...
Wait up. I have a plan.
-Congratulations, sir.
-The way you caught
that crane,
like it weighed nothing.
Very, very impressive.
The fugitives escaped!
Sir, we are quite sure
you will bring them
back to justice.
No one can escape Superman.
You really think so?
Sir, you are far too powerful.
Ah, you're right.
You're right.
Sir, the pipeline.
Must be subject one.
She's been making noise
all morning.
-I'll handle this.
-No!
You stay on Allen and Queen.
I'll handle her.
I know the real man
who wears that glyph.
It's not you.
You're not Superman.
And yet, I am all
that you once were.
No offense to Barry Allen,
but as a hero, you...
You are so much more
than just faster
than a speeding bullet.
So, you're imitating my powers
and my family crest,
but not my gender?
-Too afraid to be a woman?
-Oh, I'm not afraid
of anything.
The Book of Destiny
revealed to me
all there is to know about
Barry Allen and Oliver Queen,
but for you
and this Man of Steel,
there was nothing.
Nothing but the android
you fought in Central City.
It's...
It's as if you don't exist
in this world.
That's why you locked me up
and dampened my powers.
I don't know who you are.
I don't know how you got here,
but none of that matters
because I am now you.
New and improved.
And you will never see
the light of day again.
I'm gonna stop you.
There's nothing to stop.
I am the hero
this planet needs.
Thank you, Agent Danvers.
These cells
are patrolled 24/7,
so don't get any bright ideas,
or you will end up
hurting in a very painful way.
The only way
out of here for you
is in a casket.
Wait! Alex.
Oh...
Oh, you think
you know that agent.
You see, I scrambled
the reality of everyone
on this Earth.
No one is who they were.
But I guess
even rewritten destiny
has a way of playing jokes.
You be a good prisoner,
or I kill her.
-You're a monster.
-No.
I'm Superman.
-Okay, we--
-Get Cisco,
breach to Earth-38,
find real Superman.
That's the plan.
As long as this Cisco's
willing to help us.
The last alternate version
of Cisco I met
was not super-helpful.
Who knows how he's been
rewritten this time?
Gentlemen.
It's time we talked
about your destiny.
I must confess,
my interest is piqued.
You possess neither power
nor abilities,
yet still managed
to outwit an opponent
with the powers
of a super man.
It's just one word,
"Superman."
What is this?
Hmm? If you're testing us,
then let us get back to it.
Oliver Queen,
a man who channels
his hubris and anger
and calls it strength.
Are you truly
that eager to die?
No. Not eager.
But willing.
Ready to.
Good.
There might be hope
for this universe yet.
If that's supposed to be
a pep talk, I've had better.
Self-sacrifice alone
will not see you
through this trial.
Survival will only be found
by knowing your true self,
or this world will be doomed,
like all the others.
Okay, that's enough.
Well, that was very
glass-half-empty.
We need to find Cisco.
Okay, well,
if us good guys are bad guys,
stands to reason
that our good-guy friend
is now a bad guy.
Sure. You're CCPD.
Where do criminals
hang out in this city?
-Are they all afraid of us?
-Go with it.
-This is a terrible idea.
-You keep saying that.
And yet, here we are anyway.
-We need allies and resources.
-[scoffs]
Oh, my God, the Trigger Twins.
Sorry, I'm just a huge fan
of your criminal history.
You guys are my heroes.
Well, not heroes. Legends.
Can I get you guys something?
Apparently, we need
allies and resources.
We're looking for Cisco Ramon.
You mean the boss?
Sure.
Well, that's not nothing.
Alex.
How do you know my name?
I'm not from this Earth.
Where I come from,
we're sisters.
You? You are as
despicable as they come.
I mean, the stories
of all the twisted things
that you've done...
Alex, I know things look
one way to you,
that I look one way to you,
but the way things are,
it's not real.
Not really real.
And if you just
let me explain,
I can tell you--
You are dangerous,
and you are clearly crazy,
and I have work to do.
No, wait. Wait,
just let me explain.
I can tell you everything.
We need to talk.
Make an appointment
with my assistant.
I should have an opening
around "go screw yourself."
Cisco, we need your help.
Listen.
I don't know
who you think you are.
But around here,
people call me Mr. Ramon.
You got a problem there,
Mr. Ramon?
Case in point.
Jimmy, I think
the Pet Shop Boys
here need an education
in how things
work around here.
I don't think
that should be a problem.
They don't call me
Superman's worst pal
for nothing.
Look, we don't want
any trouble.
We just have
a business proposal
for Mr. Ramon.
Business proposal.
I'm gonna pass.
You see, I like watching
my people put a beating
on other people. So...
So, I guess we got that
in common.
We've got this, right?
Totally.
Is now an okay time
to ask for a selfie?
Stop. Stop. Stop.
Jimmy, what are you thinking?
What, are you gonna kill 'em
here, now?
Gary's still cleaning up
from the last mess you made,
Clockwork Orange.
Do 'em out in the alley.
All right, come on. Let's go.
Wait, wait! I knew
your brother. Dante!
Stop. Hold up.
How do you know Dante?
It's a long story.
If he were here,
he'd tell you
to listen to our proposal.
What's our proposal?
How'd you like to
get rid of Superman?
All right, I've got
ledgers to keep and
miles to go before I sleep,
so talk fast.
Right. But first,
we need to know
if you can vibe.
-Can I vibe?
-Teleport.
Open a breach.
You can still do that, right?
Rhetorical question.
How do you think
I got into all those
bank vaults?
But you,
you didn't know that.
You came in here not knowing
if I could do
what you thought I could do.
That's very risky.
We're kind of desperate.
Please keep giving me
more reasons to not do
business with you.
All right, listen.
You could use your powers
for so much more
than breaking into
bank vaults.
Go back to the part
about taking down Super-dick.
That's the part I wanna hear.
We're gonna get to that.
For now, I could teach you
how to use your powers
to get to
a whole different Earth.
A whole different Earth.
Tell me more.
Danvers.
The big guy is out,
-chasing down
a lead on the Twins.
-Ah.
You know, Diggle can monitor
these sorry sacks
from upstairs.
-Why don't you take
the night off?
-It's okay.
I still have some work to do.
You know,
that's the third time
in just as many weeks
I've told you to go home,
and you've turned me down.
You know,
this sorry little pout's
really bringing me down.
So, why don't you
want to go home?
Boyfriend troubles?
-No.
No boyfriend presently.
-Boyfriend?
Hmm. I thought you were
dating that dweeb in IT.
Not impressed, by the way.
Okay, it was
a couple of dates.
And now he's dating Pam in HR.
Ooh. Boy's got a type.
Also not impressed.
You need to leave this place.
You've got to get a life.
Look, I love what I do.
The work is important.
Well, now you
sound like the big guy.
And you and I both know
I don't mean that
as a compliment.
Look, I'm sure the work
we do for the city is great,
but half of what we do
around here is really
just to prop his ego up.
Truth, justice,
and the American way?
More like me, myself, and I.
Hmm, yeah.
All work and no play
doesn't just make a girl dull.
It turns your heart to ice.
And trust me, that ain't fun.
I appreciate the offer,
but I'm gonna stay
just the same.
Suit yourself.
-Oh, thank God we're here.
-Yeah.
-Only took 17 tries.
-Yeah.
Oh, I see. You're a comedian.
Hey, guess what.
Your friend is a comedian.
Still Barry?
-Oh, no. We--
-No. Yeah.
Oh. So it's fixed.
That's great.
Eh...
Oh, no.
Kara?
Mr. Ramon. Am I supposed to
believe this guy is Superman?
What, did you get him
off the street?
You don't even look like him.
Hey, uh, what's this?
Yeah, you, uh... You really
shouldn't touch that.
Hey, you could throw
a party with this thing.
Get some party favors.
You know, I know a guy.
Look, everything
is back to normal.
Well, not everything.
Where's Kara?
Alex, please. Stop!
He warned you.
I promise
I won't try to escape again.
How do you know that?
Alex Danvers taught it to me.
I told you,
I'm not from this Earth.
The Alex on my Earth
spent a summer in Nagano
with Jeremiah and Eliza
when she was six.
She was homesick.
And a girl from the village
helped her sneak down to
one of the temples one night.
She wrote a note,
and she put it
in a crack in the wall,
hoping it would come true.
I was seven, not six.
And that little girl
in the village,
she taught me that rhyme.
-It means...
-"Pinky swear."
And my Alex taught it to me
the first night we snuck out
together to go flying.
My Alex was always
drawn to service.
So it's not surprising
that you care deeply,
so deeply,
about this world
and all the people in it.
But on my Earth?
Alex doesn't just have a job.
She's in charge
of a place like this.
She's in charge?
She's a leader
who is just and proud.
When someone tells her
to do something
she knows is wrong,
she gives them hell.
And she does what's right.
She doesn't
have powers like I do,
but she's a hero.
And she has the biggest heart
of anyone I know,
even though she doesn't
always like to show it.
And she has good friends.
A real family of support
that she's created
for herself.
And she doesn't hide
who she is.
She wants a wife.
And kids.
She's optimistic
that she could have it all.
It's not an "if."
It's a "when."
-She sounds pretty awesome.
-She is.
And I know I'm not your sister
on this planet.
I guess my pod
didn't land here, but...
You're still that person.
I can tell.
I know it.
Superman rewrote
this reality to make us
all his prisoners.
I think you're smart enough
to see through him.
If I were to let you
out of that cell,
you'd, what, stop him?
Pinky swear.
He's changed
all of Central City.
Maybe even the whole world.
Everybody thinks he's you,
and we're bad.
I mean, I am bad.
Bottom line,
Kara is nowhere to be found.
If we get
the book back,
we should be able
to rewrite reality again.
Yeah? And how
you gonna do that?
You got a magic pen lying
around somewhere
behind these ice walls?
It's not a pen.
It's just the mind.
I've encountered
books like this before.
The author writes things
into existence
through sheer force of will.
But changing the story
comes at a cost.
Do you have any idea
where the book is?
If I were him, I'd keep it
somewhere secure enough
to also hold a Kryptonian.
Easy. S.T.A.R. Labs.
That place
is under lock and key.
I did time there once.
-Hey. So did we.
-We did.
What did you do?
Did I say you could touch me?
Did I say he could touch me?
I missed that part.
-I have to go.
-You have to go.
Well, well, well.
A traitor in our midst.
You know, when I said
you should get out there
and start dating, Danvers,
this isn't quite
what I had in mind.
I warned you.
No, I tricked her
into opening my cell.
-We don't know each other.
-Yes, we do.
She's my sister.
Aw.
Well, then
you can burn together.
Hi.
Nice suit.
Doctor, could I have
a word, please?
Well, that's my cue.
I'm out. You ladies have fun.
-Go get the book.
-Yes!
Alex, you're here.
What are you doing here?
-A badass
in every reality. Got it.
No, no, no. It's okay.
He's not actually bad.
-No?
-No, he's fine.
-No--
-No, I'm good.
-I'm sorry.
-No, it's fine.
-Badass. It's fine.
-Sorry.
It's okay.
Where would Deegan, um...
Superman keep
something valuable?
Anything of importance to him,
he keeps in a place called
the Fortress of Solitude.
I'll take you there.
I just came
from the Fortress of Solitude.
Mayday! Mayday!
We've lost control. I can't
hold it. We're going down!
Bizarro!
How does it feel
to be the villain for once?
This isn't
a fortress of anything.
This is the time vault.
It's unlocked.
All right, well,
how does one
go about rewriting reality?
Well...
You must still be weak
from The Pipeline.
Are you okay?
I don't know
how Deegan did it.
Well, can I suggest
that whatever it is
you need to find out,
we do far away from here?
-Clark knew
how to do it.
-I'll get this to him.
Superman.
Clark, we need you
to open this.
Fix things.
He's doing it.
Yeah.
Hey.
Make him close it,
or I snap his neck.
No!
Then your friend dies.
-Not if I kill you first.
-Oliver, don't.
Not to save me.
You don't have to do this.
You don't have to
channel your darkness.
You can overcome it.
You can be different.
You can be better.
Maybe that's it.
Maybe that's
the Monitor's test.
You really look just like him.
I hope that's where
the resemblance ends.
So he really rewrote the world
with that book?
He rewrote my life?
Yeah.
It's funny.
Because I feel like
this was always me.
But I guess
everybody does, right?
This is you.
Someone who is willing
to stand up for what's right.
I mean, after all of this
goes back to normal,
that'll still be who you are.
Your sister
is a very lucky woman.
I'm a lucky sister.
Okay. Go.
Save the world.
What's happening?
Deegan must be
rewriting reality again.
Or destroying it.
There might be a way
to slow him down.
We literally
slow down time.
Come on, that's got to be
like only the
fourth most crazy thing
you've heard
in the past three hours.
How do we
slow down time, Barry?
If Supergirl and I
travel around the globe
in opposite directions
at just over mach 7,
we should be able to create
enough centrifugal force
to slow the Earth's rotation.
And everything else.
Rip the book
out of Deegan's hands,
and everything
goes back to normal.
We can do this.
You both die.
When I opened the book,
I watched both of you die,
doing exactly
what you're talking about.
If it's in the book--
It's destiny.
I believe Clark.
We have to try something.
-You ready?
-Yeah.
Kara.
Where are you going?
I have an idea.
Just [sighs] get the book.
And Barry and Kara?
We need to hope
destinies can be rewritten.
Novu!
I know you're in there,
you son of a bitch!
I'm not afraid of you.
I'm not impressed by you!
Stop with these games,
and show yourself!
So much passion.
And hubris.
To think,
that if you just yell loud
enough you can command a god.
You're not a god.
Yet, there isn't a name
for what I am,
so I suppose
"god" will have to do.
Your time is limited.
I'm not sure what
little remains is best spent
making demands of me.
I already told you
what you had to do.
I know what happens
to Barry and Kara.
Mmm.
And now you're here
in the faint hope
I can alter it.
Well, you just said
you were a god.
Now, I don't think
you're testing us to see
if we're strong enough.
I think you're testing us
to see if we are good enough.
And I don't think,
in any of the universes
you've tested,
that anyone has ever stood
and confronted you like this.
Yes.
You are the first
in a multitude.
I'm not who you need!
You said I'd pass the test
if I knew my true self.
My true self
is filled with darkness.
But Barry and Kara
are different.
They inspire hope.
They inspire people
because they are
the best of us.
And if this test of yours
is gonna kill our best chance
at stopping this crisis,
well, as gods go,
you're not a very smart one.
The universe is
a complex piece of machinery,
and balance
must be maintained.
One change requires another.
How would you propose
I keep the balance?
You can't just
wear that symbol
on your chest
and call yourself
a hero, Deegan.
Our powers amplify who we are.
And the way you've been
using yours
tells me you don't have
the mettle for this.
No. No, you're wrong.
I didn't think big enough.
I won't
make that mistake again.
You see?
There is no defeating me!
I am the master of this world!
Blah, blah, blah.
That's a bit much,
don't you think?
Honey?
Yes, dear?
An enormous robot
with the powers
of Superman.
This is exciting.
Thank you for including me.
I'll protect the civilians.
Finish this.
-It's over, Deegan.
-No!
I decide when the story ends!
I liked you better in blue.
Lois.
-Told you you'd catch me.
Barry and Kara,
you had more faith than I did.
Well, I don't Kara
as well as I know Barry,
but when things get tough,
he doesn't slow down.
He digs deep and runs faster.
That's my cousin to a T.
Then you know
why I had faith in them.
Does the book
say anything about
what I should do with this?
Amazo's motherboard.
So this is kind of becoming
an annual thing, huh?
-God, I hope not.
Is that a... [gasps]
Are you smiling?
I kind of like you guys.
-Don't tell anyone.
I hope to
see you all again soon.
Preferably without giving Lois
another reason
to dive headfirst into danger.
-I dive where you dive, babe.
-Hmm.
Cisco, would you
do the honors?
Anything for
my favorite Kryptonian.
That's right.
I have a favorite Kryptonian.
Yes. A good choice.
Well...
Until next time.
Peace out
from your favorite Kryptonian.
Wow, you did so much work
while I was gone.
This place looks amazing.
Yeah, well, I wanted to
make sure it was all good
for Ma.
Aw.
So, uh, Brainy and J'onn
went back to National City?
Duty calls.
Well,
I hope you realize
that being a part of the DEO
or not being
a part of the DEO,
you don't need an organization
to keep the world safe.
And no matter the universe,
you and Alex,
you'll find a way
to have each other's backs.
Yeah, you're right.
Like, you really are
so much
stronger than me, Kara.
Every time we're together,
I see it.
-Mmm...
-Which is why
I know what I'm doing is okay.
What are you doing, Clark?
You need to stop
beating around the bush.
People like people
who are direct.
What is going on?
I told you
we had a lot of fun on Argo.
-Lois. Lois--
-We're all adults.
Are you having a baby?
-[Clark chuckles]
-Oh, my God! Oh, my God!
Yes!
Congratulations!
This is so great!
I'm so happy for you.
And the safest place
for Lois to be is on Argo.
When the baby
starts kicking...
Oh, yeah, that would be awful.
So, you're gone
another nine months?
Uh...
A little longer than that.
Look, this fight, it...
It reminded me of everything
that I could lose.
But the only reason
I feel safe
hanging up my cape for a while
is because of you.
The world
doesn't need Superman
if it has Supergirl.
It's actually
probably a bit safer.
-Oh.
-A study
out of Harvard last year
said that women respond better
than men
-under competitive pressure.
-Huh.
We are better in a crisis.
More apt to ask questions
before punching.
-Hmm.
-Not that
you are not totally terrific.
Uh-huh.
Bottom line,
the world is safe with you.
Aw. I'm gonna miss you guys.
Honestly, the world might be
fine with just Kara Danvers.
Your cousin ain't half bad.
Clark. Clark.
-What?
-What... It's burning.
Oh! Oh, no. No.
Next time,
use your heat vision.
-Oh, you're right.
I'm sorry.
I just wanted tonight
to be special.
Why?
Because I want every night
to be special.
I mean, with you.
But also special...
-...forever.
With you...
I'm so bad at this.
What did I tell you in Kansas?
Be direct.
Lois Lane...
-That's all I had to say?
-Yeah.
I like this direct thing.
-Hmm.
It's nice to be able to feel
the effects of alcohol again.
Yeah. Super speed
has its pluses
and its minuses.
Always hungry.
I was burning holes
in my shoes.
You're not gonna miss anything
about it?
There were a few times
where I was running so fast,
it was like
things were standing still...
Everything just felt really
clear to me.
I'm gonna miss that.
-Flashtime.
-What?
That's just what I call it.
You really have a name
for everything.
So I feel like I should be
thanking you for something.
The Monitor.
-You talked to him,
didn't you?
-Mmm-hmm.
You got him to change
our destinies somehow.
You and Kara
changed your destinies, Barry,
by being the heroes
that you always have been.
Hey, I've been you.
I lived it. I felt it.
You're a good man.
So are you.
Even if you don't want
people to believe it.
I'm not as good
as you think I am.
But because of you,
I think
I'll get there someday.
-Should we hug it out?
-No. No.
And I really mean it
this time.
Twice, you've made me hug you.
-No.
-All right.
Okay? I mean it.
I will propose a toast.
To appreciating what you have,
however long
you might have it.
Excuse me.
I thought
you were done with us.
Wishful thinking.
I just came from Arkham.
Tell me
this deranged doctor of yours
isn't going to be
a bigger problem.
Deegan? Why?
Because I hear
he's made a friend.
Don't worry, Doctor.
Everything is
as it should be.
The stage is set.
Worlds will live.
Worlds will die.
And the universe
will never be the same.
Merry Christmas and A Happy New Year!!!
See you in January !!
