and I shall stay here forever.

- Ethan?

- Yes, my darlin'.

Don't call me your "darling."

You despise me.

- Get me the coffer of shadow.

- Yes, my darling.

Now...

...I think we need something.

There.

Oh, Jimmy.

Oh, terrific.

The old dangling-in-a-cage

routine.

Pathetic, Selena.

- Who's that guy?

- He's my math teacher, I think.

What are they for?

Insurance.

But you can't just give up.

You founded a whole city.

I did, and then

I doomed it to destruction.

That was an error.

A tragic one.

When you're my age

and you make as many

tragic errors as I do,

it is a different tune

that you will sing.

I will not.

I'll never give up.

I will never spend my entire

life in a place like this.

- I would die first!

- Strong words.

There are worse things than

dying and I deserve every one.

- What is this?

- A horse...I think.

On earth I think

it's called a horse.

- And you made this here?

- Mm.

- Then you haven't given up.

- Don't be ridiculous.

Earth, Zaltar.

Earth, a tree, a horse.

You keep making things

from earth.

- The place intrigues me.

- Well, then, let's go there.

Certainly.

When is the next train?

What is a train?

What's so funny?

Don't laugh at me, Zaltar.

I'm only laughing

at myself.

For you, I weep.

Is this train

a way out of here?

There is no way

out of here.

That is the point

of the Phantom Zone.

My neighbors now: the criminals,

the corrupt, the evil...

...they're here.

Over the hill there.

With no way out.

But, there's always a way out.

If there's a way in,

there's a way out.

There is a way.

- But it's impossible.

- Why?

No, it wouldn't work.

You'd be swept into

a singularity

if it didn't work. No.

Forget I mentioned it.

Have a squirt instead.

I could do it.

Then, please.

At least teach me how.

There's nothing to teach.

You can't, as they say

practice at the rift.

You get one chance only.

- The rift?

- Sure? You won't have a squirt?

Once you get used to it,

I think it's delicious.

You're right.

You are absolutely right.

There is enough doom

and gloom in the air already.

And it is better

to accept defeat

than to take a chance and try

like fools to redeem ourselves

and save our city and all those

who we love there.

Plus all the people on Earth

that this wicked sorceress

is going to make suffer

just because of us. Cheers!

We could die trying.

But we won't.

We won't. Come on.

Tomorrow.

Thursday. Friday.

Just like here, we go

for the cops first, right?

And the army.

By Saturday, we have

the continental United States,

Mexico, Canada.

Oh, my God, Selena.

It's the box.

- Hush it up.

- No.

What the box wants,

the box gets.

What is it?

Fascinating.

I don't know.

Is this it?

Is this the way out?

Not yet!

This is the Quantum Vortex!

We must risk

our destruction in it.

To move mountains,

you must make sacrifices.

Zaltar, I'm scared!

Accept your fears.

Confront your demons.

Find your destiny

in the maelstrom!

Zaltar, I can't.

I can't.

You...can!

Two specks.

Look!

What do I do?

How do you murder someone

in the Phantom Zone?

She's with some old guy,

it looks like.

Move, huh.

Come on!

Calm down, okay.

Ah. This is what I want.

The Salian Fireballs.

Page 321. Chapter 6.

Whoa!

What is that?

Watch out!

"Power of Rainmaking". No!

"How to separate

husband and wife."

No, not now.

Not now!

Well, you better find something

fast, like an atom bomb.

I found it.

"Summoning...the demon storm."

Hurry...go.

Higher girl, higher.

- Come with me!

- I am with you!

On, girl.

I am with you.

Zaltar!

Oh, thank God.

You've had your fun, Selena.

The game is finished.

Hardly.

One false step, bluebird.

And even if you don't,

your friends will get the point.

Hey, no!

I don't like this.

Don't worry, Lucy.

Don't worry.

I wouldn't

if I were you.

Well, you're not me.

- Oh!

- Ah!

Quick, get out of the way.

Into the alcove over there.

- Come on, out.

- Hurry, Jimmy. Hurry.

The Omegahedron, Selena.

I want it.

Well, then, Supergirl.

You shall have it.

Ah!

Ah!

Supergirl, above you.

Look out!

Ah!

I think I'll be going.

If you'll excuse me.

That's what I said.

I'm staying, I'm staying.

You have no friends, Selena.

You treat everyone as if

they were put on this earth

to serve you.

More or less,

I think they were.

You included.

Power of shadow.

Appear!

Power of shadow...

...destroy her!

Ah!

Oh!

I...can't.

I can't!

You can!

On, girl.

Yes!

Confront her with it!

It's the only way!

O-oh!

No, no, no!

Argh!

Oh!

I have to go.

I have to return this

to where it belongs.

And I must

ask you all something.

It's alright, Supergirl.

We never saw you.

We never even

heard of you.

Thank you.

Ethan, Linda, she...

Well, she had to leave

in a hurry, but she...

You don't have to

say a word.

I know.

I'll explain

about Linda.

Thank you, Ethan.

Take care of

yourself, kiddo.

Wow!

That was some kiss.

Wow!

Goodbye, Linda.
