The girl can fly.

Okay.

Now.

Let's get serious.

Come to mama.

- Oh.

- Oh.

Oh.

Whoa.

- Selena, cut it out.

- I'm not doing it.

I think we're venturing where

you know, fools rush in

and angels fear to tread.

I'm no angel.

It's the wimp again.

And she's trespassing.

Hello.

Oh, no. Not now.

'Tis only but me,

my love.

Please, you'll let

everyone know.

What?

That I love you?

I'd shout it from

the highest hill.

Please don't.

I know you think me the fool,

at least tell me your name.

Linda. Linda Lee.

Linda.

Lovely Linda Lee.

These roses pale

beside thee.

Oh.

Well, thank you,

but I'm...

And sweet chocolates

for my sweet Linda.

Hm.

What are you doing?

Please?

Oh, no, I...

Please.

Well, alright.

But just for a minute.

You hate me,

don't you?

Hate you?

I don't even know you.

I don't even know

your name.

Ethan.

Say my name aloud but once

and I shall die the happy fool.

- Look, Ethan...

- Huh!

Ethan.

Ethan.

Your soft caress

did at once renew

the beating of

this broken heart.

Are you crazy?

Marry me?

Marry you?

- I don't...

- Don't say it. Don't, please.

I know.

What?

We're from

different worlds.

- You mean, you know where I'm...

- Just give me a chance, Linda.

Love makes

everything possible.

A poor uneducated gardener can

indeed worship a rich debutante

and make her happy

if she'd just...

Oh, Ethan.

I'm not rich.

I'm just...

Well, then

I'll support us both.

You're nuts,

you know that?

You're so sweet,

but you're out of your mind.

Over you.

What a touching scene.

Round and round they go.

Where they stop.

Boy, you're really getting

the hang of this.

Oh.

Where is she?

Jesus.

Who are you?

I am Selena.

Diadanus of Catania.

Priestess of Sechnid.

I am the ultimate Siren of Endor

and you, little lady, are

trespassing on private property.

She means him.

I am Kara of Argo City.

Daughter of Alura and Zor-El.

And I don't scare easily.

No?

No.

Try...

...this.

This lady is improving by leaps

and bounds, I gotta tell you.

You okay?

No.

You want a hacksaw

or somethin'?

Now I am really upset.

What's going on?

Oh.

Put me down.

- Where am I?

- You're safe.

Safe? Where's Linda?

Put me down.

- Where's my Linda?

- Take it easy.

Ethan.

Ha-ha. Very clever.

That ought to keep her out

of your hair for a few hours.

Clever?

A cheap trick.

Power of Shadow.

Bring him to me.

Bring him...to me.

Ugh!

Didn't work, huh?

Maybe they're too far away.

I can make the sky rain coconuts

with pinpoint accuracy.

But I still can't control

men's minds.

Not with her around.

So maybe...

Now, don't go

through the roof.

But maybe we

ought to back down

and give old

you-know-who a call.

You-know-who.

- Spit it out.

- Nigel.

I shall pretend

you didn't say that.

But I did.

All I'm thinking

and forgive me

for thinking

out of turn here...

...is that

he's been around.

He knows things

we don't.

Plus, the way you wrap

him around your little finger

I'm always amazed.

What's in it for me?

Me.

Ah-ha.

My dear Nigel, the way to

a woman's heart is through

the elimination of her rivals.

Murder?

Are you proposing that...

Oh, certainly not.

Leave that to me.

You deliver the goods.

Her.

Her? How?

By getting me...

...him.

- She'll follow.

- Well, I don't.

- Follow any of this, I mean...

- Put that down.

Nigel, I want

one thing.

Time to master

my new toy.

So, we can rule the world?

And you want him here?

Johnny Appleseed

in your living room?

Yes. In the flesh.

So, she'll follow?

- No other reason?

- None.

You're sure of that?

Whoops, I'm sorry.

The little spider got out.

What?

Where am I?

- Who are you?

- Kara.

Kara?

What happened?

You got hit on the head

by a coconut.

- Huh?

- Hm.

What's with

the Halloween costume?

This is not a costume.

These are my clothes.

What do you mean?

Look, I-I have

to go now.

I'll come back for you later.

I've just gotta get back to

the amusement park.

Amusement park?

Linda!

I gotta find Linda,

she was in trouble.

Well, Linda's alright.

She can take care of herself.

No, no. She can't.

Something's wrong.

She's in big trouble

and I love her.

I love her.

Yeah, I do love her.

I have to go, Ethan.

Goodbye.

Yes, so do I.

Hey!

I told you Linda can

take care of herself.

- You just flew over my head.

- I'll take care of everything.

I said you just flew over

my head. True or false?

True.

Like Superman.

He's my cousin.

- He's your cousin?

- Yes.

I shouldn't be telling you

this though...

Wait one minute. I mean you can

do the whole number, leap tall

buildings with a single bound?

And look right through things?

- Yes

- Bend steel bars?

- Yes.

- Whoa!

- Oh, Selena. I have to go.

- Wait a minute.

- Selena has the Omegahedron.

- Please take me with you.

I have to find Linda.

What is it?

The Burundi Wand.

Pure, unadulterated evil.

Ready?

But how can you love her?

- You don't even know her.

- Oh, yeah, I do.

And she's in trouble,

then I got no business

standing here,

talking with you.

Even if you are

what you say you are.

Linda is not in trouble.

Look, uh, don't make me

get rough, okay?

You wouldn't

stand a chance.

Please trust me.

Linda is alright.

How do you know?

I just...

...know.

Linda.

Oh, my God.

How did you do that?

Ethan.

Ethan!

Nigel, you are wonderful.

Pure genius.

You deserve...

...me.

And something else.

Now, let's get out

of this dump.

Did you see this thing?

Look at this!

Hey, what's the matter?

Catchin' flies?

Lucy, look.

One minute nothing.

The next minute this.

What is it?

It's a mountain, Lucy.

Isn't it?

Tell me

I'm not seeing things.

How did it get there, Jimmy?

I don't know.

It just appeared.

How can a mountain

just appear?

Hey, there's something

on the top.

Looks like a castle.

Looks more like a fortress.

Ethan?

Ethan.

Ethan!

Ah.

Enjoy your prison,

Supergirl...

...forever and ever.

No, Ethan!

Don't do it!

Ethan!

Where am I?

You can't arrest me

without a warrant.

I'm calling my lawyer.

Slow down.

We want Selena out.

Smile, lunkhead.

You're not a gardener anymore.

You're Prince Ethan, now.

Are we gonna stand up

to her or not?

Yes.

Selena must go!

Who's this little twerpette?

She's someone

who believes in freedom.

Lucy, it's not a good time

to express yourself.

I don't know, who you are.

Or what evil force

you represent.

But if you think you can get rid

of anybody who stands up to you.

Just make them disappear.

Like my friend Linda.

Who?

Linda, my roommate.

She disappeared the day

that mountain showed up.

The wimp.

Seize them!

Leave her alone!

Drive off.

Leave her alone.

Nobody messes around

with Jimmy Olsen!

Now, let go of me.

I'm with the press!

Zaltar.

Squirt.

- Zaltar?

- Squirt.

Zaltar, it's me.

It's-it's Kara.

I know.

Squirt.

What is that?

Where are we?

Nowhere.

The Phantom Zone?

It's lonely here,

my Kara.

So sad.

I've been here forever
