- Hello to you.

- Hello to you.

I hope you're fine.

Who knows the

electron wave functions

for Kryptonian

covalent bonding?

Sorry.

Leah.

The cube root

of the wavelength...

- Greetings.

- Greetings.

- Hello, Kara.

- Hello to you.

Oh' it is beautiful.

What's that gonna be, Zaltar?

I think...a tree.

A tree.

What is a tree?

A lovely thing

which grows on Earth.

Earth? You mean

where my cousin went?

Hmm, and to where,

one day soon perhaps

I might venture as well.

I don't believe you. How?

- In that. Through there.

- The binary chute?

But you'd never survive

the pressure. It'll destroy...

In that I can.

Zip-zap and I'm gone.

But you'd never

leave us, Zaltar.

- You'd never leave Argo City.

- Indeed, I might, Kara.

Too much of a good thing here.

Perhaps I'll try Saturn instead.

Yes, I think I might.

Saturn is...is that

further away than Earth?

Silly question.

Didn't you study six-dimensional

geometry at school?

Do they not teach

anything anymore?

Well, of course they do.

I know the equations.

I just can't see

them in my head.

Most great artists find

mathematics troublesome, Kara.

- Only use your imagination.

- Mm-hm.

Saturn and Earth

are in outer space

but we, we are in inner space.

Our city has two great

power sources.

This is one of them. Look.

An omegahedron.

The Guardians let you have it?

Not exactly. I borrowed it.

You stole it. Oh, Zaltar,

they're gonna...

No, borrowed it...

for the afternoon.

- For inspiration.

- Inspiration.

But I think that

I shall never see

the branches

of a living tree.

Why? An omegahedron

can create life, can't it?

It can't, child, it can't.

Just the illusion of life.

That's a fancy shadow

of the real thing

which is the most we can hope

for on this lonely old rock.

Kara.

Kara, I've been looking

for you for ages.

Oh, I'm sorry, mother.

- Zaltar.

- Alura, join us.

We're just inventing

miracles.

Put your fingers here,

Kara, and press hard.

Good. Now try it.

Let your imagination explode

and give it a try. Go on.

Zaltar, my-my husband

tells me you talk

of leaving Argo City.

For where?

Parts unknown.

It is, alas, a fact.

You and Zor-El

have a life here.

You've each other and Kara.

But, Zaltar, you founded

this city. It's yours.

As far as the eye can see,

right to the veil, smack

and then what?

What is beyond?

Alura, I cannot contain

myself to Argo City only.

My head is boiling with ideas.

My imagination is too vast,

it's uncontrollable.

If you want my opinion, Zaltar,

you're starting to repeat

yourself here with

all this airy, glittery stuff.

Exactly. That's why

I'm going to Venus.

Venus? When?

Tomorrow or the next day,

at the latest.

Zaltar, have you

thought about this?

It doesn't make sense to me.

I have thought intensely.

My mind is made up.

Kara! The power source!

Oh, Zaltar!

Save me. Please! Help!

- No!

- Kara!

Zaltar!

Help! No!

You took the omegahedron.

That's not correct,

I lost the omegahedron.

- No, father, I did...

- Shh, Kara.

No matter who.

Without it this city can't

survive more than a few days.

Our lights will grow dim and

the very air we breathe so thin.

I know. So I shall find it.

I shall go right to the end of

inner space and I'll return it.

Impossible. How? No one can

leave Argo City and you know it.

This is our universe and

you've destroyed it with a game.

- A childish game.

- I think it can be done.

Through there, the binary chute,

in the traveler.

Like a coward you choose

instant destruction

while the rest of us

are doomed to stay here...

Kara!

Kara, no!

- You lunatic!

- She'll be killed.

Oh, no, she won't.

She will be safe,

through the binary

through the warp,

into another register.

Another what?

Gravitational radiation

a pathway from inner space

to outer space.

Then she'll never

be the same, ever.

At least she'll be alive.

And my fate is sealed.

I've lost the omegahedron

I must be sent

to the Phantom Zone.

Your suffering will be short,

mine...forever.

Some more champagne,

my dear Selena?

What are you thinking about?

It's such a pretty world.

I can't wait until

it's all mine.

The only way you

can rule the world

is to become invisible,

my pumpkin.

Invisible?

You'd almost know

how to make me invisible.

Oh, I do know.

Take five black beans

and the head of a dead man,

place one bean in his mouth,

two beans in his eyes, then...

Nigel, enough.

But it works. Then you can

get anywhere, do anything.

Nigel, how long have

we been together?

Ooh. Months, darling.

Then why does

it seem like years?

Because you're so impatient.

You want everything yesterday.

It's a lifetime

to discover the secrets

of black magic from

the ancient grimoires.

Holy cow.

I wonder.

Immortality be upon this one.

She is a sharer

of the sun's everlasting life.

There will now

be no danger of death.

This world will

keep her forever.

What is it?

What's going on?

Hey, what's going on?

I've just outgrown you, Nigel.

These things happen.

You can't treat me

like this, Selena.

Without me you'd

still be reading tea leaves

at Lake Tahoe.

Amsterdam and more. That's TWA.

Never has flying been easier.

You can't run out on me, Selena.

I've got the keys, sweetheart.

The president confirmed reports

that Superman has embarked

on a special peace-seeking

mission to a galaxy

scientists estimate may be

several hundred trillion

light-years from our own...

Whoo-whoo!

Now, here's the weather

from the general Chicago area

increasing cloudiness with

the possibility of showers.

Breezy but warm

with a high of 62.

Bianca!

I'm home.

Bianca!

Wha-at?

Show your face.

I have a surprise for you.

They've turned off

the hot water again.

I'm really gonna have to kill

somebody down at the DWP.

The only way we're gonna

pay our bills next month

in this dump, is to just go

ahead and start our own coven.

No longer necessary.

I was reading in this book

"The Witches Guide

to Heaven and Hell"

if you start your

own coven all you've to do

is charge five bucks a head,

minimal admission. That's great.

- Chicken feed.

- That's better than goose egg.

What's in the Coffer of Shadow

there? Where's little Nigel?

Nigel, my dear Bianca,

is history.

Oh, yeah? How so?

The water department is history.

The car payments are history.

The mortgage

payments are history.

- How are the property taxes?

- History.

The world is at last my oyster.

Now, this I like.

- Hello.

- "Hello," she says.

- Well, hello to you, honeybun.

- Hello.

I was wondering if you could

tell me where I am?

What do they call this place,

Eddie? Lovers' Lane, isn't it?

You got it in one,

Billy boy. Lovers' Lane.

Oh, no, you see,

what I meant was is

well, those lights over there.

What are they called?

Check out the view

from back here, Eduardo.

Ah!

Stop that.

You're, uh, Superman's

best friend, huh?

No. His cousin. I've come here

to search for the omegahedron.

It's a power source vital to
