Nicole Maines: Nia Nal

Quotes 

• Querl Dox : Nia Nal, I understand this interaction might be difficult for you given that we haven't spoke since our incredible, yet devastating romantic encounter at the hospital.

  Nia Nal : [sarcastic]  Yeah, I've, um, barely been able to eat.

• Querl Dox : Ben Lockwood is trying trap Supergirl. His next step will be obtaining the Alien Registry. We could delete it right now, avoid that possibility, but that could backfire and bring the government down twice as hard. The odds are a perfect 50/50.

  Nia Nal : Well, what does your gut tell you?

  Querl Dox : That decisions should be made based on facts and not intestinal inclinations. Now, please tell me, what do I do?

  Nia Nal : Well, if you want my opinion, uh...

  Querl Dox : No, I do not. I... I want you to literally tell me what I do. Dream the future of the Registry. Does it exist? Does it not? If you tell me that, then you tell me what I did so that I could do it.

  Nia Nal : So, when I want to know about my descendants' superpowers, it's all "you'll destroy the fabric of space and time." But when you want to know the future, it's...

  Querl Dox : There is no other way! I...

  Nia Nal : Fine.

• Nia Nal : You don't destroy the Registry.

  Querl Dox : That's ridiculous. Of course I-I have to destroy it.

  Nia Nal : [snickering]  Exactly.

  Querl Dox : What?

  Nia Nal : That's the answer. You have to destroy the Registry.

  Querl Dox : But you just dreamt the opposite.

  Nia Nal : I didn't dream anything. Sometimes hearing the wrong answer shows you what the right one is. Intestinal inclination. Not so bad, is it?

• Nia Nal : Brainy, I was wrong. You can't delete the Registry.

  Querl Dox : Oh. Uh... I didn't.

  Nia Nal : Thank god. Oh, I had a dream they came for you.

  Querl Dox : I should clarify. I did, in fact, erase the list from the DEO servers, but seeing as how there may come a time when we need it, I downloaded a copy. To my brain.

  Nia Nal : Why-why would you do that? Now you could be a target.

  Querl Dox : Well, that's just the cost of being a hero.

  Nia Nal : Oh, uh... Brainy, that's, um... that's actually very heroic.

• Nia Nal : You were right. I-I should've looked into the future like you'd asked.

  Querl Dox : I have... evolved my views on this topic. The consequences of seeing the future under consideration, doing the right thing is an imperative. Besides, the odds of my arrest are actually quite low, seeing as how you're not very good at interpreting your dreams. I give it 40/60 at best.

  [seeing Lockwood enter] 

  Querl Dox : Make that 60/40.
