  Kara Danvers : Nia? You feeling all right?

  Nia Nal : Oh... oh, no... Oh, no. Please don't fire me.

  James Olsen : Oh, no, no, no. No, no one's gonna fire you. I mean, you do amazing work, when you're... awake.

  James Olsen : Narcolepsy?

  Nia Nal : Yes! That's it. Narcolepsy.

  Querl Dox : Nia Nal. I didn't realize you were going to be here.

  Nia Nal : So those flowers aren't for me?

  James Olsen : Tom and I were walking his dog yesterday, and-and the dog kept barking at certain houses.

  Nia Nal : Alien houses.

  J'onn J'onzz : Did they mark them somehow?
