Quotes 

• Supergirl : [hovering, speaking down to Dreamer after her victory over the alien monster]  That was incredible! You beat my record for defeating a Dominator.

  Dreamer : Well, you warmed him up for me. Don't you have a date to get to? Go! Get out of here. I want pictures.

• Kara Danvers : Are you okay? Is... is Yvette? Why didn't you call me last night? I would have been there...

  Nia Nal : Yvette wanted to be alone. She's not just hurt and humiliated, she's heartbroken. She thought this guy really liked her. And he was just targeting her because she was trans. He was trying to use her to get to Dreamer.

  Kara Danvers : What did he want with Dreamer?

  Nia Nal : He wants me to stop being a superhero. He's going after my community to bully me into it.

  Kara Danvers : Listen to me, Nia, listen. We will find this guy.

  Nia Nal : Yeah, we will. And when we do, I'll bury him.

• Kara Danvers : I know this is a personal attack, but you have to trust that when we find the guy, the cops are gonna put him behind bars.

  Nia Nal : Kara, I love you, but do not tell me what I can and can't do right now. There is no catching this guy and redeeming him. There is no hope speech that can make this better.

  Kara Danvers : Nia...

  Nia Nal : No. Look, my community is vulnerable. This happens more than you could possibly know. And there are guys just like this jerk out there who want to hurt us. They want us to hide and to be afraid to be who we are. They want us to disappear, and it happens every day.

  Kara Danvers : I know, and what this guy did is horrible...

  Nia Nal : He's not the first, and he won't be the last. And we haven't exactly been a priority for the cops. So just trust me when I say that I am the one protecting this community. And now this bastard is going after my community, trying to erase me? No. No, this guy is over.

  Kara Danvers : Look, I-I know that you're hurting right now, and that I will never fully understand. But between us and the cops, we will make sure justice is served. Nia, just give us a chance.

  Nia Nal : Fine. A few hours. But then, I'm doing this my way.

• Nia Nal : Are you okay?

  [seeing a cut on Yvette's cheek] 

  Nia Nal : Oh, my god, what happened to you?

  Yvette : Angus.

  Nia Nal : Your boyfriend did this to you?

  Yvette : He only pretended to like me. He targeted me so I can give this message to Dreamer.

  Nia Nal : [taking a slip of paper]  "The world doesn't want a trans superhero. So crawl back under the rock you came... came from, or I'll keep attacking people like you."

• Yvette : Isn't that Dreamer something amazing? I think she's more powerful than Supergirl.

  Nia Nal : I don't know. I think she probably has her problems just like everyone else.

• Nia Nal : I wanted to see if there was any update on Yvette's assault.

  Detective Rivers : We're still reviewing surveillance footage from the club and surrounding businesses, and processing the physical evidence.

  Nia Nal : So you're saying you're nowhere?

  Detective Rivers : I can assure you, I will do everything in my power to catch him.

  Nia Nal : [feigning sincerity]  I appreciate that.

  [hanging up] 

  Nia Nal : I gave you your chance.

  [glancing at a picture of her and Kara on her laptop] 

  Nia Nal : Sorry, Kara.

  [creating an Upswipz profile] 

  Nia Nal : Now it's time to do everything in my power. Come and get me.

• Yvette : You are not spending another Friday night on this couch in sweats housing Rocky Road.

  Nia Nal : I like ice cream.

  Yvette : Nia. Sweet little Nia, you are becoming a... what's the word? Loser. I mean, you're young, you're vibrant, but if you sit on this couch, crying over that weird little man for one more minute, you gonna develop permanent mope face.

  Nia Nal : I am not moping over... Barney. I just had a long day.

  Yvette : So, you need an even longer night. Come on. You're going out with me. I'm meeting my boyfriend at the club, and I want you to meet him, too.

  Nia Nal : Wait. I didn't even know you were seeing anyone. Where'd you meet him?

  Yvette : We've been together for three weeks. And we met on Upswipz.

  Nia Nal : [reading her profile]  "Yvette. Loves sunsets, yachting, and hanging out with my BFF Dreamer"? How often *do* you hang out with your "BFF Dreamer"?

  Yvette : She waved at me once. That counts as a hang. Besides, everybody embellishes on those things.
