3rd Person POV

"I just got your signal." Supergirl says, dropping into the hero base along with the other heroes

"Where are Eve and the others?" Alex asks

"William took her and her mom to CatCo." Kelly answers. "She agreed to go on the record, tell him everything she knows about Lex."

"Well, that's amazing, but does William really think any article about Lex is gonna help right now?" Alex questions. "How is that possible? Everybody thinks Lex is a hero."

"I think it's worse than that." Lena says. "The program I was developing was supposed to expand the human mind, to do no harm. It was on the Obsidian platform, but I think...I think Lex reworked it. Rewiring the human mind so that they adored Lex when they were in the Unity Festival."

"That's half the world's population." J'onn points out

"What about the other half?" M'Gann asks

"Eve told me about an experiment that Lex did on two mice." Lena says. "One had gold eyes, and it adored him, and the other...Lex emitted some radiation from a Q-wave antenna onto it and it exploded."

"I saw people's eyes flash gold when they were coming out of the VR." Kelly says

"That's why he launched those satellites during his world tour." Supergirl realizes

Dreamer gasps and everyone looks over. "Dreamer. What did you dream?" Supergirl asks

"I saw Lex as the Anti-Monitor." Dreamer says. "He was destroying every planet in existence."

"I have located Lex's satellites." J'onn announces. "Twelve of them orbiting the Earth. Each armed with Claymore cannons to fire on hard targets should any one of them be tampered with. It would appear the only way to shut them down would be to shut them all down at the same time."

"But only four of us can fly." Supergirl says

"Technically five." J'onn says

"Willow is nowhere near ready to take the field again." Supergirl tells J'onn

"Whether we have her or not doesn't matter. Synchronizing our movements, too, could prove impossible." Brainy says

"We could shut it down with the Dorkri Surth-Uh." M'Gann says

"The what?" Alex asks

"A Martian ritual which translates to 'the binding'." M'Gann answers

"And you could use this on the satellites?" Supergirl asks

"It would require M'gann and I to join our minds, synchronize our thoughts." J'onn explains. "We could create a web of psychic energy that we could literally bind onto things and move them in unison."

"We can do it." M'Gann says

"Okay, but even if you stopped the satellites, half the people out there are still gonna be brainwashed by Lex." Alex points out

"Lena, if you had the code Lex used, could you reverse it using Myriad?" Supergirl asks

"Myriad." Lena stammers. "Yes, but...You'd trust me? Even after everything?"

"You want to help people." Supergirl says. "Whatever else has happened, I know what's in your heart."

"I will go to Obsidian, download the server database into a hard drive and get it to you." Kelly tells Lena
