1. And I need you to understand that.
I need you to get behind that.
Copy !req
2. These illegal aliens
are stealing our jobs...
Copy !req
3. they're dodging taxes
and like so many others...
Copy !req
4. they're thumbing their noses
in the face of truth...
Copy !req
5. justice and the American way.
Copy !req
6. It's time to sign off now, but a big
thank you to my loyal followers.
Copy !req
7. We're small but we're loud.
Copy !req
8. This is Gordon Godfrey saying,
"Night, you all."
Copy !req
9. Stand up for the American dream.
Copy !req
10. You will not be saved.
Copy !req
11. Don't put your faith
in this hero menace.
Copy !req
12. I wrote this book
because I am afraid for our nation...
Copy !req
13. terrified for the innocent people
of this country...
Copy !req
14. who are counting on these vigilantes
to lift them up out of the darkness.
Copy !req
15. Out of the darkness
and into the light.
Copy !req
16. These pretenders live in shadows...
Copy !req
17. these creatures lurk
in dark corners of our society.
Copy !req
18. They claim to uphold laws...
Copy !req
19. Fifty bucks says the crackpot
with the Blur in his bonnet...
Copy !req
20. is just gunning for a little attention.
Copy !req
21. - Lois.
- Hey.
Copy !req
22. Sorry about the lame letter,
I'm lousy at goodbyes.
Copy !req
23. No, I just figured
that something happened.
Copy !req
24. You mean something like,
"Go to Africa, Lois?"
Copy !req
25. Well, I may— Uh—
Maybe I said that, but I...
Copy !req
26. I thought you wanted me
to take the job.
Copy !req
27. No. It— Well— Look, I knew
it was a big break for your career.
Copy !req
28. Right, well, um,
but now that you're back are we, uh...?
Copy !req
29. Partners?
Copy !req
30. Of course.
Copy !req
31. Unless you're disappointed
I'm not blonder?
Copy !req
32. Cat.
Copy !req
33. - No, she's, um...
- Misguided.
Copy !req
34. Misguided.
Copy !req
35. She's no Lois Lane.
Copy !req
36. Well, obviously.
Copy !req
37. She, uh, actually was supposed to
meet me here.
Copy !req
38. - We were gonna cover the signing.
- Mm.
Copy !req
39. Strangest thing about Miss Grant.
Copy !req
40. She was, um...
Copy !req
41. conveniently volunteered
to cover a dogsled race in Alaska.
Copy !req
42. We know who our real heroes are
and they are not these faceless mutants.
Copy !req
43. These aberrations
skulking in the shadows.
Copy !req
44. Their powers serve
their secret vigilante agenda.
Copy !req
45. They're really into this guy,
aren't they?
Copy !req
46. Well, I'm sure the Blur knows that
he is just taking pot shots to sell books.
Copy !req
47. Yeah. I mean, this guy's probably
not even on the Blur's radar.
Copy !req
48. —serving our country instead of himself.
Copy !req
49. And what about this Blur?
Copy !req
50. A freak. A pariah so disfigured,
he doesn't dare show his face.
Copy !req
51. Is this the kind of savior you want
your children believing in? I say, "No!"
Copy !req
52. On second thought,
this blustering blowhard...
Copy !req
53. - ... just crossed the line.
I say, "No," to what...
Copy !req
54. Break out the marshmallows, Clark,
I'm gonna roast this turkey.
Copy !req
55. Wait Lois.
Copy !req
56. I say stop the menace.
Copy !req
57. Isn't that your cousin, Clark?
Copy !req
58. "The Maiden of Might." Seriously.
Alliterate much?
Copy !req
59. I need to find Kara.
Copy !req
60. Bye-bye, Barbie dream desk.
Copy !req
61. Maybe someone's figured out
where she flew off to.
Copy !req
62. I can't believe
I just said that out loud.
Copy !req
63. You must've been pretty surprised
by your cousin's superhero status.
Copy !req
64. Well, yeah. She didn't tell me about it.
Copy !req
65. She must have had a close encounter
with a meteor rock?
Copy !req
66. Yeah, that's what happened.
Copy !req
67. She was infected the last time
she was in town.
Copy !req
68. But why would she flaunt
her special skills?
Copy !req
69. Coming out is a terrible,
terrible move.
Copy !req
70. You saw those crowds, Clark.
All their doubts and mistrust.
Copy !req
71. Yeah, mutant vigilantes.
Copy !req
72. I can't believe people would turn on
their heroes that fast.
Copy !req
73. But in the end, Lois,
she did win them over.
Copy !req
74. You never know.
Maybe if the Blur...
Copy !req
75. was more honest
and showed his face like Kara...
Copy !req
76. people would be able to trust him.
Copy !req
77. Maybe Godfrey's book
wouldn't get so much attention.
Copy !req
78. That's a horrible idea.
Copy !req
79. The Blur got it right
and Kara could learn from him.
Copy !req
80. By not staying in the shadows,
she not only puts herself in danger...
Copy !req
81. she puts you in danger too.
Copy !req
82. She put me in danger?
Copy !req
83. I mean everyone around her.
Copy !req
84. All I'm saying is, Ubergirl makes for a
great headline...
Copy !req
85. but people will swarm her with
love today and crucify her tomorrow.
Copy !req
86. Think about it, Clark.
Copy !req
87. Your captivating cuz needs to hide
those baby blues behind glasses...
Copy !req
88. and go undercover before a hero-hater
like Godfrey turns his sights on her.
Copy !req
89. Oh, that's great. You're sweet.
You're sexy. You're powerful.
Copy !req
90. You're the woman of tomorrow, today.
Yeah.
Copy !req
91. Let's take a break.
Copy !req
92. Okay. Let's take five, guys.
Copy !req
93. It's been a long time, Kal-El.
I missed you.
Copy !req
94. I missed you too.
Copy !req
95. A surprise seeing you today.
How long have you been in town?
Copy !req
96. You didn't come to Earth to be
the first superpowered pin-up girl.
Copy !req
97. It's critical I get my image around
the city as quickly as possible.
Copy !req
98. You just have to trust me, Kal-El.
I'm doing this for you.
Copy !req
99. Kara, this doesn't feel
like much of a favor.
Copy !req
100. I searched so long for my mother
and I never found her.
Copy !req
101. You and I are the last survivors
of the House of El.
Copy !req
102. And after everything
we've been through together...
Copy !req
103. I had to come back to the one place
in the universe I have family.
Copy !req
104. Well, what you're doing right now
flies in the face...
Copy !req
105. of how I've chosen to live
on this planet my whole life.
Copy !req
106. We both know that.
Copy !req
107. If you really care about family,
tell me what you're doing here...
Copy !req
108. and stop avoiding the question.
Copy !req
109. I didn't want to hurt you.
Copy !req
110. Jor-El has given me a mission.
Copy !req
111. And getting my powers and image
around the city are a part of it.
Copy !req
112. He gave you a mission?
Copy !req
113. What did he say?
Copy !req
114. He's let you go, Kal-El. I'm sorry.
Copy !req
115. He says you're no longer his son.
Copy !req
116. Hi.
Copy !req
117. Not a bad read.
Copy !req
118. Would you care to comment
on your embarrassing save...
Copy !req
119. by a certain girl wonder?
Copy !req
120. Bless my soul, it's Lois Lane.
Copy !req
121. If you want a quote,
you'll have to get in line.
Copy !req
122. You can save your holier-than-thou,
made-for-TV platitudes...
Copy !req
123. and drown them in some holy water,
Mister.
Copy !req
124. I've had enough of you blindly taking
pot shots at Metropolis' heroes.
Copy !req
125. Heh.
Copy !req
126. You call yourself a journalist, but you're
just a blind follower of these vigilantes.
Copy !req
127. One of these so-called vigilantes
just saved your skin.
Copy !req
128. She risked people's lives in a ploy
to undermine the message of my book.
Copy !req
129. She may fly, but I have a feeling
that blonde bimbo is no angel.
Copy !req
130. I have people investigating.
Copy !req
131. They're going to find something on her
and the other superpowered mutants.
Copy !req
132. How would you feel if someone
started poking around in your life?
Copy !req
133. I have nothing to hide.
Copy !req
134. But I do know one vigilante who does.
Green Arrow.
Copy !req
135. A connection of mine,
who has toyed with him...
Copy !req
136. gave me evidence that the Archer
is really a certain depraved playboy.
Copy !req
137. Your ex-boyfriend I believe.
Copy !req
138. His secret identity will be revealed...
Copy !req
139. when I release the final chapter
of my book online tomorrow.
Copy !req
140. Even his true believers' faith
will be shaken.
Copy !req
141. Wow. Mortal Kombat
meets woodchipper. I like it.
Copy !req
142. You have more to worry about
than a two-by-four.
Copy !req
143. Ah. I'm glad to see that Africa managed
to survive the whole Lois Lane invasion.
Copy !req
144. Tell me, what brings
Little Miss Cut-and-Run back to town?
Copy !req
145. - Destiny.
- That old thing?
Copy !req
146. - Mm-hm.
- You're not fooling anyone...
Copy !req
147. racking up these airline miles.
I know all about preemptive strikes.
Copy !req
148. Hurt them first
so you don't worry about...
Copy !req
149. how you're gonna
let them down.
Copy !req
150. Then you give them whiplash
by racing back.
Copy !req
151. Easy with the dress down,
I just ran for the hills...
Copy !req
152. because I thought
I was gonna mess things up for Clark.
Copy !req
153. We are so different, it—
Not a bad different...
Copy !req
154. I just don't know how his chocolate
and my peanut butter are gonna mix.
Copy !req
155. Huh.
Copy !req
156. I've never known you to surrender
to anyone or anything.
Copy !req
157. I'm not actually here to talk about me.
Copy !req
158. There is a guy, Gordon Godfrey...
Copy !req
159. and he thinks that Green Arrow
is my ex-boyfriend.
Copy !req
160. - He does?
- Mm-hm.
Copy !req
161. I think we just leave him
alone, you know?
Copy !req
162. Let the blowhard blow himself out.
Copy !req
163. In the meantime, I can handle a few
slings and arrows. Sure you can too.
Copy !req
164. Oliver, Godfrey's got proof.
Copy !req
165. He has a secret chapter about you
he's gonna post online tomorrow.
Copy !req
166. He knows who you are.
Copy !req
167. Well, maybe people deserve
to know the truth.
Copy !req
168. People deserve to be saved. And it's
safer for you if you're in the shadows.
Copy !req
169. - It's safer for all the heroes.
- Maybe.
Copy !req
170. Or maybe the cost of keeping my secret
is too high and it's time to pay the piper.
Copy !req
171. If you're not gonna kick
this creep to the curb, then I will.
Copy !req
172. Gordon, that interview was,
hot, hot, hot. But we have a problem.
Copy !req
173. Your final chapter's going online
tomorrow and I haven't seen it.
Copy !req
174. I kept the only copy close to me
for safekeeping.
Copy !req
175. Didn't want it getting
into the wrong hands.
Copy !req
176. Well, I'm your publicist, don't you think
I should take a look?
Copy !req
177. The secret stays with me.
Copy !req
178. Okay, well, I guess I have to trust you.
Copy !req
179. I don't know
what's gotten into you lately.
Copy !req
180. Three weeks ago
you were a small-time radio host...
Copy !req
181. now the whole city's listening.
Copy !req
182. I need you to take me further.
Copy !req
183. I wanna be on every television, in
every paper, on every computer screen.
Copy !req
184. I want to touch every soul.
Copy !req
185. The whole world?
Exactly how do you propose to do that?
Copy !req
186. If I can plant an idea,
a seed of doubt within people...
Copy !req
187. it will grow until it devours their faith
in each other and in these heroes.
Copy !req
188. Faithless, they'll be ready
to be led down a new path.
Copy !req
189. Humans are the best architects
of their own undoing.
Copy !req
190. All you have to do is give them
enough rope, they'll hang themselves.
Copy !req
191. Take it easy, Gordon.
Copy !req
192. You sounded a little scary there. Ha, ha.
Copy !req
193. Why don't you take a break tonight?
Copy !req
194. Let off some steam.
Copy !req
195. I'll call you later.
Copy !req
196. Take me to Club Desaad.
Copy !req
197. Yes, sir.
Copy !req
198. I know about your little shortcut
to the Fortress.
Copy !req
199. Give me the key.
I wanna talk to my father.
Copy !req
200. There's no point in confronting Jor-El.
Copy !req
201. He disowned me and I want to know why.
Copy !req
202. This is bigger than just Jor-El.
Copy !req
203. A darkness has come to Earth.
Copy !req
204. I've been trying to draw it towards me,
so I can stop it.
Copy !req
205. I was the one sent to Earth to protect it.
Jor-El should have come to me.
Copy !req
206. - He said you're not ready.
- He's afraid that I'll fail.
Copy !req
207. After all the trials and all the training
that I've gone through.
Copy !req
208. He's the one who's confused,
because I know my own destiny.
Copy !req
209. Kal-El, you think you have
all the answers...
Copy !req
210. but the evil that's coming
is like nothing you've ever seen.
Copy !req
211. It takes advantage of people's doubts.
Copy !req
212. There's nothing out there I can't handle.
Copy !req
213. Pretty strong words from a guy
who can't even figure out his powers.
Copy !req
214. It's the truth, Kal-El...
Copy !req
215. you've been on Earth all this time
and you can't even fly.
Copy !req
216. You can't come at this thing
without all of your abilities.
Copy !req
217. But what if you can't fight it
on your own?
Copy !req
218. You'd rather put the world at risk
and trust Jor-El than believe in me?
Copy !req
219. You're my only family.
Copy !req
220. And I need your help.
Copy !req
221. I liked it better when I was
showing you the ropes.
Copy !req
222. I guess change is in the air.
Copy !req
223. I guess this is easy for you, huh?
Copy !req
224. No, it's...
Copy !req
225. No, it's not easy or hard.
Copy !req
226. It just is.
Copy !req
227. I mean I reach for the sky
and the world just falls away.
Copy !req
228. I'm not thinking of anything.
I'm just in the moment.
Copy !req
229. When I try to clear my mind,
the more I hear.
Copy !req
230. Kal-El instead of trying to force
the noise out...
Copy !req
231. why don't you just focus
on one thing...
Copy !req
232. like that butterfly.
Copy !req
233. Live inside that one noise.
Copy !req
234. Make it your whole world.
Copy !req
235. It was a start.
Copy !req
236. It's not flying if it's mostly falling.
Copy !req
237. I'm sorry.
Copy !req
238. I shouldn't have gone against
your father's wishes.
Copy !req
239. - I shouldn't have helped you.
- I just need to figure it out.
Copy !req
240. You're doubting your powers,
you're frustrated, you can't focus.
Copy !req
241. You are not ready.
Copy !req
242. I'm not gonna stand here
and do nothing.
Copy !req
243. The darkness came through a rip in
the universe three weeks ago.
Copy !req
244. You think it's just gonna wait around
until you're ready? Just leave it to me.
Copy !req
245. Three weeks ago?
Copy !req
246. What? What is it?
Copy !req
247. I think I know how it came here.
Copy !req
248. You said the darkness came through
a tear in the universe.
Copy !req
249. It made sense.
Copy !req
250. Three weeks ago
I was on this rooftop...
Copy !req
251. and I opened a portal
using the Book of Rao.
Copy !req
252. If the darkness came through a gateway,
maybe it can leave through one.
Copy !req
253. I've used my bracelet before
to open a portal.
Copy !req
254. This dark force is like a disease.
Copy !req
255. How did it become so powerful?
Copy !req
256. It can see your thoughts and feelings.
Copy !req
257. It can find the one morsel of doubt that
even the purest person doesn't realize...
Copy !req
258. they have inside them.
Copy !req
259. It can possess you, but it can't possess
someone who's pure of spirit.
Copy !req
260. Who has true clarity of purpose.
But your father—
Copy !req
261. Thinks it'll prey upon some weakness
inside of me.
Copy !req
262. Kal-El.
Copy !req
263. If this dark force possesses someone
with abilities like yours...
Copy !req
264. you could be the greatest weapon
this planet has ever seen.
Copy !req
265. Mom.
Copy !req
266. Hey, Dad.
Copy !req
267. I've been, um...
Copy !req
268. really trying to live my life in a way
that would make you proud of me.
Copy !req
269. I, uh, sort of feel like I've let you down.
Copy !req
270. You always said the most important thing
was taking care of others and I, uh...
Copy !req
271. I tried.
Copy !req
272. But I failed at that.
Copy !req
273. The woman that l, uh— That I love...
Copy !req
274. She sacrificed everything
to protect me. And, um...
Copy !req
275. And I'm sort of trying to figure out
how to live with that.
Copy !req
276. I can't have other people
risking their lives for me.
Copy !req
277. This has to stop.
Copy !req
278. I'm sorry.
Copy !req
279. You look like a man
who needs a little corrupting.
Copy !req
280. I'm on the hunt for a little distraction.
Copy !req
281. I think the hunter
has become the hunted.
Copy !req
282. Well, well, well.
Copy !req
283. Huh.
Copy !req
284. You've been a bad boy.
Copy !req
285. So...
Copy !req
286. Ooh.
Copy !req
287. - Dangerous.
- Ha-ha-ha.
Copy !req
288. What's your favorite tool?
Copy !req
289. Oh, uh...
Copy !req
290. Oh, I'm pretty good
with a torque wrench.
Copy !req
291. Huh.
Copy !req
292. Kinky. I'm a torque wrench virgin.
Copy !req
293. Oh, ha-ha-ha. Now.
Hands off the merchandise.
Copy !req
294. Ha, ha. Let's just put these up here, huh?
Copy !req
295. Looks like somebody likes to be
punished, huh?
Copy !req
296. Mm-hm.
Copy !req
297. Now where were we.
Copy !req
298. Yo, spray-on-latex sisters.
Hook a mistress up?
Copy !req
299. You sin on a stick, you just, you know,
smash your body up against his.
Copy !req
300. And you, you are the girl
his mama warned him about.
Copy !req
301. That's right. Make him pay.
Copy !req
302. There we go.
Copy !req
303. Now that you've got me
under your control...
Copy !req
304. what are you going to do with me?
Copy !req
305. Girls, why don't you go
and spank each other or something.
Copy !req
306. Things are about to heat up in here.
Copy !req
307. Ooh.
Copy !req
308. Gotcha.
Copy !req
309. Impressive.
Copy !req
310. Great photos.
Definitely page one material.
Copy !req
311. You're a formidable woman,
Lois Lane.
Copy !req
312. You're seething with ambition.
Copy !req
313. With you it's all about the byline.
Copy !req
314. You'll do anything,
sacrifice anyone for the story.
Copy !req
315. Oh, that's a little harsh,
don't you think?
Copy !req
316. How much are those photos
worth to you?
Copy !req
317. Maybe I can give you something
that's worth more.
Copy !req
318. What if I shared my evidence
condemning Oliver Queen...
Copy !req
319. and gave you the banner headline?
Copy !req
320. Tempting, but nobody's gonna believe
a word you have to say...
Copy !req
321. after they see all these sexy photos.
Copy !req
322. Done and done.
You're officially fodder for the tabloids.
Copy !req
323. I don't care about the photos, Lois.
Copy !req
324. Wow. Heh. Wow, they were fake.
Copy !req
325. But I guess the purple feathers should
have been a dead giveaway, huh?
Copy !req
326. Hey.
Copy !req
327. I can see that you're pure of heart.
Copy !req
328. It's too bad.
Copy !req
329. Taking over that body
would have been fun.
Copy !req
330. Back off, buddy, or I am gonna burn
all the fur off your arms.
Copy !req
331. And I thought the Fortress
was your only hideaway.
Copy !req
332. It's called Watchtower.
It's more of a command post.
Copy !req
333. I banded together
a group of heroes.
Copy !req
334. A lot's changed since
the last time I saw you, Kal-El.
Copy !req
335. Maybe Jor-El underestimated you.
Copy !req
336. This is how we access the news feeds.
Copy !req
337. We should cast a wide net, the host
is probably in a leader with influence.
Copy !req
338. This Godfrey guy, he's everywhere.
Copy !req
339. He's got a personal vendetta
against heroes.
Copy !req
340. Any citizen who's been a victim
of the vigilante menace, you're not alone.
Copy !req
341. They pretend
to be your saving grace...
Copy !req
342. then they turn on you
and violate your trust.
Copy !req
343. These vigilantes are
committing crimes and getting away with it.
Copy !req
344. Open your eyes, people.
Copy !req
345. How many times do you hear
about victims who were mugged?
Copy !req
346. - Do you hear that?
They don't know who it was!
Copy !req
347. It's called super speed, folks.
Copy !req
348. Lawless mutants,
like the Blur, are using this power...
Copy !req
349. That's it.
Copy !req
350. to prey on the masses.
- The darkness is in Godfrey.
Copy !req
351. They're predators.
Copy !req
352. He's been public,
so can't be hard to find him.
Copy !req
353. —driven by dark.
Copy !req
354. Okay, I have a street security camera
with a limo.
Copy !req
355. Looks like Godfrey was downtown
a few hours ago.
Copy !req
356. The driver with Godfrey.
Copy !req
357. That's Lois.
Copy !req
358. Congratulations, Lois.
Copy !req
359. You've proven yourself
a true believer of these vigilantes.
Copy !req
360. And your saintly suffering is just
the lure I need to bring the Blur to me.
Copy !req
361. Fight all you want.
You won't be able to escape your fate.
Copy !req
362. What is this place?
Copy !req
363. It's kind of hard to explain,
but just try to blend in.
Copy !req
364. Are you sure that Lois'
cell phone was tracked here?
Copy !req
365. According to the computers
at the Watchtower, yeah.
Copy !req
366. Let's split up.
We'll cover more ground.
Copy !req
367. Godfrey, I'm here for Lois.
Copy !req
368. That's too bad...
Copy !req
369. her idealism and blind faith
in the vigilantes she loves...
Copy !req
370. has gotten her in way over her head.
Copy !req
371. What have you done with her?
Let her go.
Copy !req
372. Lois has served her purpose.
She brought one of you to me.
Copy !req
373. Are you sure you can win against me?
Copy !req
374. You know what I am.
Copy !req
375. You know the doubt in your heart.
Copy !req
376. You so-called heroes are false gods,
all of you.
Copy !req
377. And when people stop believing in you,
you'll shatter like glass.
Copy !req
378. Just tell me! Where is she?
Copy !req
379. I can see it.
Copy !req
380. Underneath all of that bravado...
Copy !req
381. you're afraid you'll never be the hero
you want to be.
Copy !req
382. You wish you could kill me.
Copy !req
383. And I'm not the only one.
I can see that.
Copy !req
384. You've felt this way before.
Copy !req
385. Your heart is racing. You're at war with
yourself, the turmoil is overwhelming.
Copy !req
386. - Where is she?
- There is darkness in you...
Copy !req
387. and great power.
Copy !req
388. I think we'll go far together,
you and I.
Copy !req
389. I will never help you.
Copy !req
390. You won't have a choice.
Copy !req
391. Are you all right?
Copy !req
392. It's like it could see inside me.
Copy !req
393. Are you all right?
Copy !req
394. I think it's time
to blow this bondage ball.
Copy !req
395. Somebody should put Godfrey
in some serious restraints.
Copy !req
396. Who knew Mr. Family Values
had such a dark side?
Copy !req
397. Godfrey's not so special.
Copy !req
398. There's two sides to everyone...
Copy !req
399. even heroes.
Copy !req
400. Kara, off the record,
what is it like to have powers?
Copy !req
401. Lois, since I've had my abilities,
I haven't been beholden to anyone.
Copy !req
402. And I feel like there's nothing
holding me back...
Copy !req
403. and I'm free.
Copy !req
404. That's too bad.
Copy !req
405. I mean, it's great.
Copy !req
406. It's just, you're such a bang-up gal.
I thought it might get a little lonely.
Copy !req
407. Maybe it's easier to be a hero when you
don't have somebody tying you down.
Copy !req
408. I'm sure you think of people
without powers as—
Copy !req
409. Well, differently?
Copy !req
410. You know, it's easy for people
to just see the powers...
Copy !req
411. and not the person behind them.
Copy !req
412. I guess even heroes need someone
to come home to, huh?
Copy !req
413. How's that for tying up loose ends?
Copy !req
414. It's gonna take more than a loudmouth
with a deviant sex life to stop me.
Copy !req
415. A buddy of mine
at the Inquisitor ran it for me...
Copy !req
416. since leather and lace
really isn't Planet fare.
Copy !req
417. Lois, I think you went too far trying
to discredit this annoying hero-basher.
Copy !req
418. You could have been killed.
Copy !req
419. Godfrey was undermining
Metropolis' faith in its defenders.
Copy !req
420. I couldn't just stand by
and let that happen.
Copy !req
421. Well, what you did was brave, but...
Copy !req
422. Between you and me, I was terrified.
Copy !req
423. My worst fear is to be alone
in the world without heroes.
Copy !req
424. Thank God, Ubergirl—
Powergirl? Megagirl?
Copy !req
425. Was there to save me
from the gallows.
Copy !req
426. Your cousin needs a better handle.
Copy !req
427. Well, just remember that heroes like her
or the Blur—
Copy !req
428. Put them on too high a pedestal,
they might let you down.
Copy !req
429. Thanks, Clark, but I get it that
the superpowered are people too.
Copy !req
430. They wrestle with their own flaws
but the Blur is different.
Copy !req
431. He's my hero.
Copy !req
432. No matter what he's afraid of,
I know he'll always be there for me.
Copy !req
433. Excuse me. I'm sorry.
Copy !req
434. Kara?
Copy !req
435. What do you think of my new look?
Copy !req
436. I think you look completely different.
Why the sudden cover-up?
Copy !req
437. You can't save people
when you're the center of attention.
Copy !req
438. But I'm not going anywhere until I know
Earth is safe from the darkness.
Copy !req
439. It could be anywhere.
Copy !req
440. Look, I was wondering.
Copy !req
441. Your bracelet seemed to repel
the darkness, not send it away.
Copy !req
442. I don't think
the bracelet will work as a portal.
Copy !req
443. The dark spirit is trapped
inside of a host.
Copy !req
444. But you're superpowered.
Why wouldn't the darkness want you?
Copy !req
445. It's because you're pure of spirit.
Copy !req
446. That's why you could never lure the
darkness to you with all of your saves.
Copy !req
447. I don't feel pure of spirit.
Copy !req
448. I have just as many issues
as anyone else.
Copy !req
449. But still, you risked your soul
to save me.
Copy !req
450. And if you hadn't jumped between us—
Copy !req
451. The dark spirit would have possessed
you, Kal-El.
Copy !req
452. Like he could see things
in me I didn't want to face.
Copy !req
453. Now imagine that creature
wielding all of your powers.
Copy !req
454. People of this planet would be doomed.
Copy !req
455. You sound like my father,
that I was destined to fail.
Copy !req
456. Failure is something
we have to live with...
Copy !req
457. but it's how you overcome it
that defines you.
Copy !req
458. I know this isn't easy for you...
Copy !req
459. but I need you to leave the darkness
to me.
Copy !req
460. This isn't your fight.
Copy !req
461. Makes you wonder if we put
too much faith in vigilantes.
Copy !req
462. Maybe the Blur isn't the hero
he thinks he is.
Copy !req
463. Who's your mama?
Copy !req
464. - Is that a trick question?
- Ha-ha-ha.
Copy !req
465. What's, uh—? What is this?
Copy !req
466. That is the only copy of the chapter
on Green Arrow...
Copy !req
467. that Godfrey was gonna reveal today.
Copy !req
468. Yours truly picked Godfrey's pocket...
Copy !req
469. so you can rest assured
your secret is safe.
Copy !req
470. Hmm.
Copy !req
471. Wow, Lois, 007's got nothing
on you.
Copy !req
472. You're a brilliant and talented
super sleuth.
Copy !req
473. Thank you. I appreciate it.
Copy !req
474. I know how much trouble
you must have gone to to get this.
Copy !req
475. But I can't have the people that I love
fighting my battles for me anymore.
Copy !req
476. What is this?
Copy !req
477. Does this have anything to do with why
Chloe took an extended vacation?
Copy !req
478. About that.
Copy !req
479. Chloe's not catching a tan on a beach
like I told you she was.
Copy !req
480. The truth is...
Copy !req
481. she left, and I don't think
she's coming back.
Copy !req
482. - What happened? Is she okay?
- She's okay, she's fine...
Copy !req
483. but when the person that you love
knows your secret...
Copy !req
484. it becomes their secret too.
Copy !req
485. And she was willing to give up
everything to protect it...
Copy !req
486. which, unfortunately included me.
Copy !req
487. Wait, I think that
she probably just needs space.
Copy !req
488. I know how she feels about you,
she'll be back.
Copy !req
489. I hope you're right...
Copy !req
490. because this has gone on
long enough.
Copy !req
491. What's happening.
What are you doing, Oliver?
Copy !req
492. Doing what I have to.
Copy !req
493. - Send them in, please.
Yes, sir.
Copy !req
494. Thank you all for coming.
Copy !req
495. I've brought you here
to make an announcement.
Copy !req
496. People have these
so-called vigilantes all wrong.
Copy !req
497. There's only one way for me
to set the record straight.
Copy !req
498. I am Green Arrow.
Copy !req
499. Mr. Queen, please. What inspired you
to become the masked archer?
Copy !req
