Matt Baram: Mitch

Quotes 

• Nxylgsptinz : Another totem in National City. It's almost too easy. It's as if fate is just dropping them on my doorstep.

  Mitch : But the moment we leave the ship to get it, Supergirl and her friends are gonna be able to track us.

  Nxylgsptinz : Well, then we better move quickly.

• Mitch : Nxyly, what's happening? Kill the guard. Get the totem. Nxyly, kill the guard.

  Nxylgsptinz : [wavering]  I can't do it.

  Mitch : We don't have time. Just do it.

  Nxylgsptinz : I can't do it.

• Nxylgsptinz : What kind of being hurts others for their own benefit?

  Mitch : Nxyly, there's something wrong with you. The hope totem was yours for the taking. After everything you've gone through to just give up now, it doesn't make any sense.

  Nxylgsptinz : Mitch. Remember how strange I thought it was that... the totem had no gauntlet? What if... the totem is the test? What if, when I unleashed its power, it drained every drop of humanity from anyone standing in the blast radius? What if all that compassion and empathy flooded into me?

  Mitch : That's why you couldn't kill the guard.

  Nxylgsptinz : He might've had children. He might've had people who loved him and cared about him. All I could think was how sad they'd be if I took him away from them. I can't bear it.

  Mitch : All right. We already have two totems now. Maybe there's a way of getting the others without hurting anyone. That way, you get what you want. And I still get the life you promised me.

  Nxylgsptinz : Mitch.

  [hugging him with a laugh] 

  Nxylgsptinz : Oh, it's brilliant! You're brilliant. Thank you. You're always thinking about me.

• Mitch : [to infiltrate the Hague, Nxyly is disguised as a security guard]  The totem is in an alcove just off the library. Get inside and look for a sculpture called The Hand of the Flower. Kill the guard without drawing attention.

• Mitch : Where are we going?

  Nxylgsptinz : National City. I'm giving everyone their humanity back. Now.

  Mitch : You can't!

  Nxylgsptinz : What I can't do... is take it anymore. How am I going to hunt down the other totems if I don't stop feeling so deeply?

  Mitch : But if we leave the ship, Supergirl will be able to find us.

  Nxylgsptinz : I don't care.

• Mitch : Hey, boss. Feeling better?

  Nxylgsptinz : [realizing she's lost possession of the totem]  No. No! Why did you let me get rid of the totem? Fly down. Get it.

  [seeing Supergirl fly by] 

  Nxylgsptinz : Change of plans. Get us out of here.

• Nxylgsptinz : [Mitch accidentally-on-purpose cuts his hand with a tool]  Oh, Mitch! You poor, broken thing. Oh! We have so much work to do. I can't possibly lose you now.

  Mitch : Are you, um, feeling okay?

  Nxylgsptinz : Mm-hmm. Never better. We already have two totems. And if the next one is as easy to use as the humanity totem was, I expect we'll have all seven in no time.

  Mitch : [looking into her crystal ball]  The next totem's at the Hague.

  Nxylgsptinz : We're going to the Netherlands. I love travel!
