Esmé Bianco: Thara Ak-Var

Quotes 

• Kara Danvers : Thara Ak-Var, this is Mon-El of the Legion of Superheroes.

  Mon-El : [shaking hands]  Hi. It... it's just like a space police.

  Alura Zor-El : Well, Thara is in law enforcement, as well. She's chief peace officer on Argo.

  Thara Ak-Var : Times have been peaceful ever since we re-settled, thanks to Alura and the work of the High Council.

  Alura Zor-El : Well, we all play our part, but Thara has really stepped up. She knows the city like the back of her hand.

  Kara Danvers : Well, maybe you can help us find something for Mon-El.

  Mon-El : Right. Um... a-a synthetic gravity manipulator?

  Thara Ak-Var : There's a guy in the market who sells anything with a microchip.

  Mon-El : Great.

  Thara Ak-Var : And after that, I'd love for you to meet my family.

  Kara Danvers : Your... your family?

  Thara Ak-Var : My husband, Lir-Al, and our two kids.

  Kara Danvers : Okay, we really need to catch up.

• Thara Ak-Var : Did you find the gravity manipulator you were looking for?

  Mon-El : I did, but the guy who sold it to me was sort of an oddball. Do... do you know him?

  Lir-Al : Ol-Irus.

  Thara Ak-Var : Mm-hmm.

  Lir-Al : Everybody knows him.

  Kara Danvers : Ol-Irus, our schoolteacher?

  Thara Ak-Var : Uh-huh. Do you remember that time he made us take home insect samples to study, and they reproduced by the hundreds in our houses?

  Kara Danvers : [laughing at the memory]  Well, maybe you weren't so good at your insect homework, but I'm sure you are an amazing mother.

• Thara Ak-Var : It's really you!

  Kara Danvers : Thara?

  Thara Ak-Var : [hugging her]  We all thought you were dead. The ceremony broke my heart. I can't believe my eyes.

  Kara Danvers : Neither can I. Your parents, your brother?

  Thara Ak-Var : I'm the only one who survived.

  Kara Danvers : I'm so sorry, Thara.

  Thara Ak-Var : I've recovered.

• Thara Ak-Var : You've lived on another planet all these years, a planet where you can fly?

  Kara Danvers : Yes. Uh... there's... there's so much to tell you.

  Thara Ak-Var : We'll have to climb up onto the roof, fill each other in.

  Kara Danvers : I would love that.

• Thara Ak-Var : [after a construction mishap]  I'm so sorry. Usually our construction sites are up to code, but it turns out this one hadn't been inspected yet.

  Kara Danvers : So you think it was an accident?

  Thara Ak-Var : Of course.

  Alura Zor-El : Why? What do you think it was?

  Kara Danvers : I'm not sure. Um... I saw someone after it fell running away.

  Thara Ak-Var : It could have been anyone.

  Kara Danvers : It's just, in my life, nothing happens for no reason. There are no accidents.

  Alura Zor-El : That was on Earth.

  Mon-El : Do you think you could look into it further?

  Thara Ak-Var : Of course. We'll get right on it.

• Lir-Al : We're building a gazebo in our back yard. It's been carved out of this huge, beautiful piece of stone that was left from the wreckage.

  Thara Ak-Var : We couldn't have been more clear with Laura that we wanted it to face south.

  Lir-Al : So that we could enjoy the lake off the orchard in the evening.

  Thara Ak-Var : And she's carved it in the wrong direction.

  Lir-Al : So now we have this stone monolith in our back yard that's facing the woods.

  Thara Ak-Var : Nothing can be done about it. It's so tragic.

  Kara Danvers : Well, I mean, it's not that bad.

  Thara Ak-Var : You'll see that the direction you're facing matters a great deal.

  Lir-Al : Of course it does. It affects your mood.

  Thara Ak-Var : And your quality of sleep.

  Lir-Al : Well, we will find a way to manage.

• Thara Ak-Var : Kara, what's going on?

  Kara Danvers : She was there right after the crane fell.

  Felra : It's not true. I wasn't there.

  Kara Danvers : I know what I saw! Why do you want to hurt me? Tell me!

  Felra : She's crazy. I did nothing.

  Kara Danvers : You're lying. Now, you're gonna tell me who you are, and what you want with me, or I promise you, you will regret it.

  Thara Ak-Var : Kara, enough. Felra, go home.

  [to Kara, as Felra leaves] 

  Thara Ak-Var : Her husband owns the grocery. I've known her for years. She would never hurt anyone, let alone somebody she's never met. Let's call it a night. Kara, please, go home. Get some rest.

• Thara Ak-Var : I defended you the other night, and now you try to kill the daughter of the House of El? After everything Alura and Zor-El have done for the survival of this city, how could you betray that?

  Felra : [glancing at Kara]  We are the daughters of the night, children of Juru, the deliverance of all Krypton. And Selena is our high priestess.

  Kara Danvers : Selena? But she helped me defeat Reign.

  Felra : Nothing is as it seems.
