3rd Person POV

Supergirl and J'onn land on an empty balcony. "Damn it." J'onn growls, seeing no one around

"Dreamer said they'd be here." Supergirl says, looking around

"Dreams are interpretive." J'onn says. "Maybe something about them is here."

Supergirl uses her xray vision to look around the balcony. "Part of them is." She says, walking over and picking up a claw from the ground. "Ugh." Her face twists in disgust at the blood on the claw

"A Morae's claw."J'onn realizes, grabbing the claw from her

"You can use that to track the Morae psychically, right?" Supergirl asks

"Yeah." J'onn says

...over in an icy and snowy landscape, Manchester and Hat appear...

"Bloomin' heck, man." Manchester says, looking around

"Bloody hell." Hat mumbles

"Well, isn't this a sight?" Manchester says, looking at an icy door in the wall of an iceberg

"Yeah, a giant wall of ice." Hat says

"Now, where did your pal Mxy say the key was?" Manchester asks

"He didn't." Hat says. Morae chitters and Hat listens. "What? Under the doormat? Right." He says, pointing over to a golden object in the snow. "No, not gold, it's dwarf star." Hat says, uncovering the golden emblem. "Weighs around 5,000 kilos." He puts on robotic gloves. "There. These little bad boys will do the trick." He picks the emblem up and places it in the lock. The door opens. "You're very welcome. Now can we please get something for Mo's mitt?"

"Of course we can." Manchester says. "Oh, I wager we can find whatever we want in here."

And with that, Manchester and Hat walk into the Fortress of Solitude where two unsuspecting residents reside

"All we're saying is, if one of us is rotting in a cell, it ought to be a priority to get her back." Hat says as him and Manchester look around

"And all I'm saying is, we'll fetch Menagerie as soon as we find what lets us get around Supergirl, so we can snuff Benny boy." Manchester says. "This is the belly of the beast, bound to be the seeds of her destruction somewhere."

"Or, we just use this." Hat says, holding up a device. "Taking down Supergirl and killiing Lockwood don't win hearts and minds. But this, this'll let us activate all our alien brothers and sisters. Ooh. And we can do even more with its little brother."

"Meh." Manchester says

"Meh?" Hat asks. "What about the revolution?"

"Killiing Lockwood is the revolution. They take one of us, we take one of theirs!" Manchester yells. "Hey. You loved Fi like blood, right? Don't you wanna see her murderer go down?"

"Yeah, but that isn't what we set out to do." Hat says. "We're supposed to be changing the world, not acting suicidal to settle old scores."

"Back home, when the gang found out you and Fi were otherworldly, I stuck up for you, at great peril." Manchester says. "And you can't do the same for me?"

"That's different, and you know it." Hat says

"Nah, mate. The only one that's different now is you." Manchester says. "Come on, Mo, we've lost this one." Manchester says, walking in the other direction from Hat

"Well, I hope you find what you're looking for. And choke on it." Hat calls to Mancheseter before he teleports away

"Yeah, I'll find it alright." Manchester says, pulling a device from his pocket and turning it on. He walks through the area with the device, scanning everything with a green light
