Supergirl (2015–…): Season 6, Episode 16 - Nightmare in National City - full transcript

Kara lands her dream story for Catco but when the city is suddenly attacked by a nightmare monster at the same time as her interview, she is forced to take a serious look at her life and decide if she can continue to live as both Kara and Supergirl. As Dreamer takes the lead on the search for the Dream Totem, which can vanquish the nightmare monster in National City, she realizes she needs to ask her sister Mauve for help. Old wounds resurface as the two sisters come face to face.

My name is Kara Zor-El.

I'm from Krypton.

I'm a refugee on this planet.

I was sent to Earth
to protect my cousin.

But my pod got knocked
off course.

And by the time I got here,

my cousin had already grown up
and become... Superman.

I hid who I really was
until one day

when an accident forced me
to reveal myself to the world.

To most people, I'm a reporter
at CatCo Worldwide Media.

But in secret I work
with my adopted sister



and my friends to protect
my city from anyone
that means to cause it harm.

I am Supergirl.

Previously on Supergirl...

We're in a race
against Nyxly
to find seven Totems

before she can use them
to wipe us out of existence.

Courage,
Humanity, Truth,

Destiny, Love, Dreams and Hope.

We now have three
of the seven Totems
in our possession.

Humanity, Hope and Courage.

And Nyxly has none.

Nia hasn't had
any luck in Parthas
finding the Dream Totem.

Supergirl destroyed
the Hope Totem.

Now the AllStone
will never be whole.

"A secret admirer"?



You didn't choose to be
the sister with powers.

They're supposed
to be passed down
from mother to daughter.

So how did someone
like you get them?

You're not even a real woman.

And she took everything?
Mmm-hmm.

But what my dad
didn't tell me was that
apparently he and Maeve

got into some big blowout fight
over what she said to me
at Mom's funeral.

In other words,
he took your side
when she denied your identity.

Of course he did.
So she skipped town,

took all of
Mom's books and journals
and research with her.

So my search
for the Dream Totem was a bust.

I'm back to square one.

Then perhaps we should consider
a fresh start.

You've been so focused
on finding the Dream Totem,

maybe you should cast
a wider net.

Simply open yourself
to whatever the Dream Realm
shows you.

Hmm, seems kind of vague.

If you doubt me,

try my spinach pancakes.

Hmm?

Taste my genius.

Fine.

You okay?

Yes, it worked.

I saw an address.

Um... Crippen University.

What do you think it means?
I don't know.

But whatever is there
is going to help me
find the Totem.

Hmm.

I know you went green full-time
because William's been
at the Tower

but, um,
you should stick with it.

It makes you a better cook.

Hmm.

Interesting frock you got me.

Who are you?

Your secret admirer sent you
more than a frock.

He sent me.

Can't you tell,
Princess Nyxlygsptlnz?

I'm you.

Me?

That's impossible.

Is it?

When you were
in your tenth year, you had
a crush on Mxyzptlk's cousin,

Duke Nzykmlk.

You'd whisper his name
to your pillow.

Never told anyone, did you?

How did you...

I can't tell you yet.

For now, let's simply say
I know you think all is lost.

But you can have
everything you want.

All we have to do
is claim the Dream Totem.

And I know how.

So are you ready
to believe in yourself?

Okay.

I come bearing gifts.

This is for you.

This for you.

And of course,
last but not least, Supergirl.

Oh, my gosh.

My niece is one heck
of an artist.

I think you mean
my granddaughter.

Oh, is that her
and you?

When do Esme and Kelly
get back from Calvintown?

After the weekend.

Kelly wants
to give Esme the full
Olsen family experience.

So catching fireflies,
climbing trees,
the enormous chili bowls.

So, if things stay as calm
as they have been,

I think I'm just gonna
go back and join 'em.

Yeah, I guess destroying
the Hope Totem

and having Brainy hide the rest
was the right move.

And now I even have time
for my interview.

What interview?
Well, you know, Kaznia

and Corto Maltese agreed
to a truce last week.

Well, now, Prime Minister Perez
and President Zakharov
are in town

negotiating
the official treaty.

Yeah, and my sources
have told me that things
are getting tense.

But then I remembered
this interview Larry King
did years ago

with three
Middle Eastern leaders.

Yeah, that was Arafat, Rabin
and King Hussein of Jordan.

They called it
"World Diplomacy Live."

I remember that.
Were you on Earth back then?

No, I was actually in my pod,
but I saw it.

I just remember being so moved
that a reporter

could be a part of something
so momentous.

So I went out on a limb
and asked Cat
if she'd be willing

to introduce me
to the president
and prime minister

and she said, "Yes."

And now CatCo has the chance
to do something just like that.

A once-in-a-generation
interview

that will show that even
in these contentious times,

two enemies were able
to cross the divide

and come together
and help the Super Friends,

by eliminating
both countries' threats
and, most importantly,

how when people
really set their minds to it,

real peace is possible.

Wow.

That is inspiring.

But not really
interesting, is it?

What?

Well,
this could be historic.

Oh, I know.

We'll hype it as our version
of Oprah and the Royals.

"Kara Danvers
and the heads of state."

We'll put it on
all the platforms.
Our foreign markets will boom.

Okay, but I-I really think
you're not getting this.

Oh, but I am.
Tomorrow at the Civic Center,

we will have a full crew
to support your broadcast.

Anything you need before then,
you let me know.

Okay. Bye.

All right, Doctor Revee.
Let's see what you can tell me.

Maeve?

You tracked me down?

Don't flatter yourself.

I didn't know it was you.

The name change
made sure of that.

A dream led me here.

Well, since you're here...

I've been thinking
about things and...

Look, I owe you an apology.

What I said to you
at Mom's funeral--
Don't.

Um...

I'm not here
to talk about that.

My dream showed me
that something here

would lead me
to the Fifth-Dimensional
Totem of Dreaming.

The Dream Totem?

It's real?
What do you know about it?

Allegedly, it's a relic
from another dimension

that can bestow Dream power
to whoever wields it.

Do you know where it is?
It's in the Dream Realm,
supposedly.

But why are you looking for it?

The fate of the universe
depends on me finding it
before Nyxly does.

I need you to tell me
everything that you know
about this.

Really?

Yeah, that's like me asking you
to tell me everything
you know about journalism.

Okay. Is there a book
I could read?

Sure.

Right here.

Great.

Which one?

All of them.

I think that is the fastest
I've ever seen anyone
watch a video.

Yeah, it's 1.5 speed.

It gets easier to follow
once you're used to it.

What's up?
Well, I heard about your scoop

and I wanted to offer
my services as a partner
for mock interviews.

Back in London,
I was The Time's
point man on Kaznia,

but I also did a big piece
on the corruption
in Corto Maltese.

Yeah, that'd be great.

And I will take you up on
as many practice interviews
as I can get.

Starting this afternoon.

Because right now
I'm researching.

That is the cardinal rule
of interviewing.

Research, research, research.

Right.

Hmm.

What does a sleeping man
have to do with me getting
the Dream Totem?

Dr. Pavoni has created
a machine to get into
the Dream Realm.

All you need to do
is access the machine

and you can use the gauntlet
to access the Dream Realm.

All right.

No rest for the wicked, Nyxly.

Use the gauntlet.

Now use your Dream energy hand
to create the portal.

Get into the Dream portal.

Hear that?
Sounds like something's coming.

Nyxly's gone.

Supergirl, J'onn. Brainy
just updated us. You're chasing
a "Nightmare monster?"

Yes, and it's headed
toward a nuclear plant.

Bringing up
the coordinates now.

If it attacks the plant
and the core is compromised,

that entire area
will be exposed to radiation.

J'onn, can you calm
the creature?

Nothing I can do
is stopping it.

It's almost at the power plant.

Lena, what about something
from your mother's
book of spells?

Magic doesn't work that way.
It's a process
and I'm still learning.

I could try something
old-school.

When Lex was at the DEO,

he developed a satellite-based
force field that could wall off
an entire city.

If I could bypass
the satellite's security

and re-route Dreamer's adaptors
to the feed,

I could put up a dome
that not even that creature
could get through.

Okay, but that'll trap
that thing in with
half the city.

Do we have a choice?

Supergirl?

Do it!

We did it. We trapped it.

But now it's invisible.

Writings on the Minoan
Oracle of Delphi suggest
the Dream Totem was housed

in their main temple.

When the Dorians invaded
in 1100 BC,

the Oracle hid the Totem
in the safest place
she could think of.

Dream Realm.

Is there anything in there
that says what the Dream Totems
might be?

None that I'm seeing.

But since the Totem
was housed by the Minoans,

the gauntlet may have
been replaced
with a kind of maze.

Lucky for us,

Mom was infatuated
with how Earth's cultures

depicted the Dream Realms.

Which led her to uncover this.

It's a medieval tapestry
that supposedly depicts

the Oracle's
original instructions.

Allegedly, it can be deciphered
only by one of pure heart,

mind and sight.

And you understand all this?

I've been studying
these things my whole life.

Like this.

It's a Naltorian symbol
for purity.

Same as this.

Where'd you get it?

Mom.

She said it would help
light up my dreams

back when everyone
thought I'd be the Dreamer.

It didn't do that,
but it did help spark
my interest in all of this.

Must be nice.

Having something to guide you
during unknown times.

It is.

Especially when
your whole world
gets flipped upside-down

because someone's
keeping secrets.

So what does the tree mean?

Given its position,

probably that the journey
to the Dream Totem

starts in a forest somewhere.

Lately, when I've been
entering my dreams,
I start in this forest.

Could that be it?
It could.

And what about
these other symbols?
What do they mean?

To decipher the tapestry,

you have to be able
to see the Dream Realm.

So it's difficult for me
to say, but there are
some books

that can help...

You kept news clippings
about me?

I might be furious with you,

but you are still my sister.

I have to take all of these?

Plus a few more.

Or you could come with me.

Really?

Look, like it or not,

I can't decipher
this tapestry without you.

And if I can't do that,

then there's no way
I'm going to find the Totem.

Just wanna text Brainy
and let him know the plan.

My boyfriend,
he's a twelfth-level intellect.

Are you coming?

I crisscrossed the dome
a dozen times and couldn't
find that thing anywhere.

Please tell me
you had better luck.
Unfortunately not.

It appears that
when the creature
goes invisible,

its energy signature does, too.

My sense is it's either scared
or hiding.

Better that than
terrorizing the locals.

And people seem to be
staying inside, but who knows
how long that'll last?

We need to fix this now.
Right.

How's it going over here?
Very slowly.

When Brainy took
Dr. Pavoni from
the sleep lab to the hospital,

he discovered that his device
actually allows you

to look into people's
dream spaces.

So Nyxly was able
to piggyback on that
to get back in the Dream Realm.

I'm hoping if we combine
the doctor's device

with our portal technology,

we can create what Nyxly did
so we can go in after her.

Nyxly tricked Nia to get out
of the Dream Realm,

why would she want
to go back in?

Because that's where
the Dream Totem is.

Nia had a dream flash
that led to her sister, Maeve,

who told her the Dream Totem
is in there.

She texted saying that
they're entering the Realm
now to go look for it.

If Nyxly gets her hand
on that Dream Totem,

she could access Dream Powers
even without the other Totems.

That could
make her unstoppable.

We need to get that portal up
and running fast.

Uh, hey, William.
Yeah, of course

we're still on
for the mock interview.
Go. Go.

Lena and Brainy
can handle the portal.

Alex and I will handle
the creature.

We'll call
when we have something.

Okay, William,
I'll see you soon.

This forest reminds me
of that camping trip

Mom took us on
in middle school.

She forgot all the flashlights
so we had to sit
in the dark all night.

The trees kept
scratching the tent
and you were terrified

because you thought it was
some witch coming to get us.

How much further do we have?

I think we might have to go
beyond the forest.

Beyond?

There is an entire
Dream Expanse out there.

You've never accessed it?

Haven't you read
Of Dreams Beyond
or anything M.K. Nessler?

You know, it wouldn't kill you
to crack open a book
every once in a while.

Okay, Maeve,
if you're such an expert,

how do you access
the Dream Expanse?
Don't turn this around on me.

Stop.
You stop.

Your necklace is glowing.
Go back to the tree.

It's never done that before.

What do you think it means?

We found it.

The Dream Expanse.

Mr. President...

while some feel
Corto Maltese is to blame
for the recent hostilities,

others say it's Kaznia's
economic sanctions
that started the tension.

Will you admit there's
some truth to that?

My opinion is not the issue.

What matters is the actions
of the countries involved.

Next question.

Uh... Okay. I guess--
Don't let them
duck the question.

Make them confront it.

William is absolutely right.

Especially since
I just arranged for
an off-the-books meeting

between you
and the chief Kaznian
treaty negotiator.

What?
His other plans got canceled

because of this
ridiculous dome.

Meeting's at 2:00
this afternoon
at Noonan's on Main.

Yeah, of course.
Yes, I will be there.
Thank you.

You really are having
a day of days.
Yeah.

The governor
is demanding

Supergirl and
the Super Friends
take down the dome

they've constructed
in National City.

What they did with that dome
was madness.

What who did?
The Super Friends.

I know they mean well
and they're dealing with Nyxly
on top of everything else,

but, they did erect a dome
over half the city without
consulting anyone.

But there was no time to.

That creature was going
to destroy a nuclear plant.

Of course.
I'm not arguing that.

But now I'm hearing stories
that employees are being
cut off from work.

Parents separated
from children.

I just hope the Super Friends'
recent success hasn't gone
to their head.

No, it hasn't. It hasn't.
They can handle this.

Like I can handle you,
President Zakharov.

The spires of light represent
the dreams of everyone
on Earth.

But only one houses
the Dream Totem.

The lit path
will lead us there.

Right, where is
this bloody path?

We'll come to it
soon enough.

We've passed
these spires before.
I'm heading back.

What was that?
I don't know.

I suppose you could
go investigate
and face a nightmare.

Or you could go back
the way I told you to.

I know trust is hard,
but maybe take a look
around the corner.

Is that--
Nia Nal and her sister.

Huh.

Maybe you're
not so bad after all.

Like I said, Governor,
we didn't have
a choice in this.

And like I said,
if you won't take
your dome down,

the National Guard will.

This situation is above
the National Guard, okay?

This creature is
from the Dream Realm.
Bullets can't harm it.

And from what we can tell,
Dream energy is very similar
to nuclear energy.

So if you take that dome down,

it's going to go
straight back for the plant

making matters even worse.
Worse?

Than trapping thousands
of citizens in a bubble

with some
other-dimensional terror?

My phone is ringing
off the hook with people
locked indoors,

sheltering in place,
not knowing when they're going
to see their family again.

Governor, I assure you,
we're working on a device

that will allow us to transport
the creature back to
where it came from.

And when will that be ready?

Twenty-four hours.
You have 12.

Alex, we're not 12 hours away
from completing this.

How long then?
Uncertain.

Restructuring Dream tech
requires massive concentration.

Brainy's just distracted
because there's no word
from Nia yet.

I'm not distracted.
I'm appropriately concerned.

Ah!

Brainy...

Is that the creature?

No, that is a mob
trying to escape the dome.

Supergirl, we have
a situation.
Where?

I think I've figured
something out.

Do you see these small
diamond shapes here?

Little ones
around the big one?

I always assumed
they were decorative,
like a frame.

What if these small diamonds
represent these spires, here?

Guess it's possible.

And if that's true, then maybe
this big diamond
in the center

isn't just a symbol
of the Dream Totem.

It's the actual location.

I know looking
for a giant Dream spire
in the middle of this place

is like looking
for a big tree
in an endless forest.

At least it's something.

Just wish we could get
a better view.

I may have a way.

Wow.

That was amazing.

Did Mom teach you
how to do this?
No.

I figured it out by myself.

So, do you see any spires
that look bigger
than the others?

No.

There's one that's more...

gold.

Maeve, that's it, we found it.
We did.

We should get moving.

Supergirl
calmed rioters
at the dome last night

but tensions are still rising
as people try and get out.

Our government is calling
for people not to intervene,

remain indoors
as our National Guard
averts the crisis.

Hey. What are you doing here?
Your interview's in less
than an hour.

I know. But that riot
broke out last night
because people are furious

at being trapped inside
with the monster.

After I broke it up,
I couldn't not search for it.

And?

Still nothing.

Where are Brainy and Lena
with the Dream portal?

Well, they figured out
the interface,

and they think activating it

might function like a beacon
drawing the creature to it.

The question is,
will they be done before
the Guard moves in?

Did Governor Pena say
if she would grant
an extension?

I haven't heard
anything back yet.

It's Andrea.

Kara, you didn't
show up for the meeting
I arranged yesterday.

I know. I know, I, uh...

Something came up
and I had to cancel,
but I let the negotiator know.

No, no, I don't wanna
hear excuses.

Kara, you're one of the most
talented reporters
I have ever seen.

So often I give you leeway.

I don't ask where you go

when you leave the office
in the middle of the day.

I don't get upset
when you disappear
for weeks on end

saying you're working
on a huge story
with Cat Grant

only to return empty-handed.

Because your work
is usually flawless.

But lately, Kara,
you're not here
and it's beginning to show.

You told me that an interview
showing these two leaders

coming together peacefully
could inspire the world.

It... It can. It will.
Then start acting like it.

I'll see you
at the Civic Center
in 30 minutes.

Don't be late.

Hey. What's going on?

Is everything okay
with the interview?

Uh...

I just...

Um...

It will be.

I just feel like...

ever since I got back
from the Phantom Zone,

ever since Nyxly arrived,

I feel like I have been
one step behind on everything.

And the stakes are so high,
like, if we make
one wrong move,

it could mean literally
the end of everything.

We are not going
to let that happen.

We just have to take things
one step at a time.

And step one
is you need to get
your butt to that interview.

We will take care
of the nightmare creature.

And step two, we need
to take this freaking imp down.

Governor,
you're making a big mistake.

If you breach the dome,
the creature might run.

And then we may never find it

until it does who knows
what sort of damage.

We are on the verge
of being able to send it back.

Governor?

What's up?

Apparently, the governor
has been liaising
with the Air Force.

In one hour,
the Luthor Corp satellites

that have been
sustaining the dome
will be shut down.

A group of National Guardsmen
will be charging in.

Okay, well, one hour
is within the time frame

that Lena said
she and Brainy would be done.

So we can still do this?
Yeah.

But first, I think
you need to do something.

William, what are you
doing here?

My contact at the Capitol
told me about
the governor's plan

so I thought I'd come here
to get a statement
that might help

bring down the heat.

The governor is scared.

The people are scared.

In the past few weeks,
this city has seen
buildings explode,

giant cats, mass riots...

And now a dome, with Nyxly
and a nightmare monster.

What everyone needs
is to hear a calm
and clear voice.

William.

J'onn and I are more than happy
to make a--

Supergirl was there
when the dome went up.

The people need to hear
from the Girl of Steel herself.

I don't have time
to make comments. I'm sorry.

This is it.

The Dream Totem
should be in this spire.
Maeve, wait.

If the Oracle put the Totem
in this spire for protection,

we need to be ready
for anything.

So what do we do?

Let me take the lead.

There it is.

The Dream Totem.

I'll grab it, then we can
get out of here.

Maeve?

You're not pure,
Maeve Nal.

You're a traitor to your blood,
to try to take her power
for your own.

It was supposed to be mine.

I worked my entire life
towards becoming the Dreamer.

Studying, preparing...
Every decision I ever made
was for that.

It was my purpose, my identity.

And you took it.
I didn't have a choice.

I tried to transfer
the powers to you,
I told you that.

But I couldn't.

So what do you want me to say?

That...

That you should be the Dreamer?

That I don't know
what I'm doing
most of the time?

That I'm in over my head?

Honesty, finally.
Oh, you want honesty?

Okay.

I have no pity for you!

I'm sorry that you wasted
all of those years

reading all of those books,

assuming with no cause,
by the way, that you'd be
the Dreamer.

But look at yourself, Maeve.

You were willing to put
the entire universe at stake

so you could take the powers.

Are you really that selfish?

Do you think that's what
the Dreamer would do?

You don't think I deserve
these powers?

You don't think
I'm a real woman?

Well, I don't care.

I know who I am.

I am the Dreamer.

The question is who are you?

Because you are clearly
not the sister that
I thought you were.

Am I interrupting
a family fight or something?

I'll make this quick, then.

No!

Wow, nice move.
Who taught you that one?
Your mama, or your sister?

No!

Well done.
Now take the Totem.

Aren't I supposed to be pure
of heart and mind,
or some such?

That's to get past
the Oracle's ward.

If, however,
the Oracle is no more,
we can be just us girls.

That thing is breaking down
the Oracle's ward.

If it does,
she can take the Totem.

I'll tell Supergirl
you died nobly.

Mom said it could
light up my dreams.

Maybe it can give you
the extra power you need.

This is for using me.

And this is for hurting
my friends.

Princess, we can't win this.

I guess it's time to go then.

Miss Danvers?
Miss Rojas wanted me
to let you know that

the prime minister
and the president
are running late.

Oh, okay, no worries.
Thank you.
Thanks.

Alex, any update?
All good.

We will have the portal
powered up at the northernmost
point of the dome.

As soon as it's up,
it should draw the monster here

and then we'll get it home
before the dome goes down.

Well, that's a problem
because the dome
is coming down now.

Hey, don't worry. We got this.

Not without me. I'm coming.

Now that the portal's up,
the monster should
be drawn here.

You see anything
up there, J'onn?

No trace of the monster,
but the National Guard
is on its way.

Any sign?

I believe that is the creature.

It's working.

No!

Stop this now!
You're drawing him away
from where it needs to go.

The columns.
Yeah, I've got it.

I'm getting
the portal back online.
It's now or never.

Now!

You did it.

I'll go talk
to the National Guard.

Oh, no, I gotta go.

The interview.
We'll talk to the governor.

What happened?
I thought you said
they were late.

Not that late.
When they couldn't
find you, they left.

Miss Rojas said
she tried calling you.

Brainy?
Supergirl.

Nia just called.

Her and her sister made it out
of the Dream Realm
in one piece.

But Nyxly got away
with the Dream Totem.

I messed up, William.

Big time.

Having a dome
over half the city has
a way of disrupting plans.

What can you do?

I just feel like there's
never enough time in a day
to get everything done.

And then when I am able
to check everything off,

I still... I wake up
the next day and realize
there's more to do.

It just never ends and...

I'm drowning.

And I'm worried
I'm bringing everyone
around me down.

No.

Today was a bad day.

But you are allowed
those once in a while.

I don't know that I am.

May I remind you
of something you told me
Cat Grant once said?

"You can have it all.

You just can't have it all
at the same time."

So maybe ask yourself...

What does Kara Danvers
want right now?

When you figure that out,

all you need to do is not stop
until you get it.

Andrea?

I'm so sorry.

Your contrition
isn't important right now.

What is important
is that I was able
to salvage your faux pas

and convince President Zakharov
and Prime Minister Perez

to extend their trip by a day.

Tomorrow, 12:30
at the Civic Center.

Do not be late.

William should
do the interview.

What?
I've given him
my interview packet.

He has background
on both leaders

plus the deal points
of the peace treaty.

I've delegated
all my other articles
to Franklin and Mackenzie.

Kara, what are
you talking about?
You were right, Andrea.

I'm not here.

Not fully.

And there's too much at stake
for that right now.

So, uh...

I quit.

William, I should have
taken you up on your offer
to talk directly to the people.

Maybe it's not too late
to fix that.

Will you help me?

Nia?

You have to understand.

I was so wrapped up
in my own pain.

I never even thought about you
or our family or...

the ramifications
my words could have
on any of us.

And I'm sorry.

I'm sorry for trying
to steal the Totem.

For abandoning you.

I never thought you weren't
a real woman.

I just...

I wanted you to be
in as much pain as I was.

But seeing you today,

your abilities,
your selflessness.

You are the Dreamer.

You always have been.

Forgive me?

No.

Maeve, you may
have spent your life
studying to be the Dreamer,

but I spent mine trying
to make you happy.

You were my best friend.

And you tore me down
like it was nothing.

Then you ran away.

You changed your name.
You pretended like
nothing ever happened.

You can't erase
what you did, Maeve.

Because of your actions,
we both had to grieve
Mom alone.

And I had to learn these powers
that I didn't ask for alone.

I needed you!

I needed my big sister.

If it wasn't for Kara
and Brainy, I would have
been completely lost.

So, no, I can't forgive you.

But I can offer you
a second chance.

A final chance...

for us to be sisters again.

Thank you.

Hey, you should have this.

And you should
probably call Dad.

He misses you.

Brainy and I
re-fortified the hiding place

for the Courage
and Humanity Totem using
Coluan science and Earth magic.

So even with the Dream Totem,
she won't be able to create
the AllStone.

Well, that's good.
That helps on one battlefront.

Now, if we could
just do something
about the negative press.

People just disagree
with us sometimes.

Well, this is true,

but if we're going to take on
a threat as powerful as Nyxly,

we're going to need
the public on our side.

Speaking of.

Citizens of National City,
I come to you tonight
with an apology.

I know you have always placed
your hope and trust in me.

But now, as we face the alien
you know as Nyxly,

I fear I haven't always
been able to deliver.

And for that, I am sorry.

But I give you my word...

Nyxly will be stopped.

No matter the cost.

Because for me and my friends,
failure is not an option.

If only I had my bloody magic.

Before it's too late,
please give me the Totem.

Why?

To guarantee
your... future.

There's one last thing
for me to... To do.

What are you?

The key to your success.
