Wallis Day: Nyssa-Vex

Quotes 

• Adam Strange : What's going on?

  Val-El : Well, if Brainiac escaped...

  Nyssa-Vex : Then maybe Seg did, too.

  Adam Strange : Hold on a second. Are you saying that... Seg is alive?

• Nyssa-Vex : Hello, Father. Six months I've been searching. I was almost ready to give up.

  Daron-Vex : How did you find me?

  Nyssa-Vex : You used to joke about how much you despised Bokos, which is why I never thought to look here. And then I received a tip earlier today. I still have some connections.

  Daron-Vex : I don't doubt it. You always were resourceful, Nyssa.

• Nyssa-Vex : I never understood why you hated this city, and then I found out that this is where you're from.

  Daron-Vex : Nobody knew that.

  [realizing] 

  Daron-Vex : Jax-Ur.

  Nyssa-Vex : We've developed quite the bond while you've been bathing in shit. She told me everything. About how you grew up in this filth and then remade yourself in Kandor by binding with my mother and using her name to gain power. I know all about you, Father. And I know what you did to me. Why didn't you tell me?

  Daron-Vex : I had my reasons.

  Nyssa-Vex : It wasn't your decision to make. This is my life, and I need to know who I really am. Because unlike you, Father, I am not done living yet.

  Daron-Vex : You always were the better parts of her.

• Daron-Vex : I am truly and deeply sorry for all the pain I've caused you, Nyssa.

  Nyssa-Vex : I don't need apologies, I need answers, and I need them now. What happened that night my mother died? And why was I in that skimmer with her? How much is me? How much is the clone? Who was I before it all happened?

  Daron-Vex : I always knew this day would come. Eventually.

• Nyssa-Vex : You weren't after Daron at all, were you? You used him as bait to get to me. That tip, it was all you. He was gonna tell me everything I...

  Lyta-Zod : Whatever he was about to tell you, it would have been a lie. A very convincing lie, enough for you to let your guard down and then he would have betrayed you, like he always does. He's done enough damage to all of us. It's time to move on.

  Nyssa-Vex : On to what? Being another one of your political prisoners? Somatic reconditioning? Ah, Seg would be disgusted if he saw what you just did.

  Nyssa-Vex : Well, Seg isn't here, is he? And while you and your resistance tear down his legacy, we are busy honoring his sacrifice by securing Krypton's future.

  Nyssa-Vex : "We."

  Lyta-Zod : Yes, we. As in Dru-Zod and I.

  Nyssa-Vex : Take it from someone who's been in your position before, Lyta, there is never a "we" when it comes to power. There is only the last one standing.

• Lyta-Zod : My son is nothing like Daron.

  Nyssa-Vex : How would you even know that until it's too late?

  Lyta-Zod : Because he's Seg's son, too. And the good in Seg is the same in Zod.

• Adam Strange : I don't understand. You built the projector thingy for the Phantom Zone, but you can't get Seg out?

  Val-El : Zod destroyed my Projector. I tried to rebuild it, but then Zod seized the Fortress.

  Adam Strange : Wow, things really went sideways while I was gone, huh? That's all right. I'm back now. And I have a plan.

  [seeing their looks] 

  Adam Strange : All right, I don't have a plan, but I could totally come up with one.

  Nyssa-Vex : That won't be necessary. We already have a plan. Wegthor.

  Adam Strange : [sotto to Jax-Ur]  Is that the safe word?

  Jax-Ur : It's a moon. One of three orbiting Krypton, but the only one with a completely self-sufficient, fully sustainable colony; Krypton's only city-state not under Zod's rule, and the home of our resistance.

  Adam Strange : Surprised you guys have been able to pull a resistance together. From what I've seen, everybody seems to be digging the new Kandor.

  Nyssa-Vex : Because Zod freed the Rankless to distract the people from what was really going on.

• General Zod : They look so delicate outside of the creche. So helpless, fragile. Yet bursting with life.

  Nyssa-Vex : Give me back my son.

  General Zod : Nothing would make me happier. However, there is something I need from you first.

  Nyssa-Vex : What?

  General Zod : It is time for this resistance to end. Val is my great-grandfather, my blood. We should be together, not fighting each other. And I need you to convince him of this.

  Nyssa-Vex : And if I refuse?

  General Zod : That would break my heart, because I believe there is nothing more sacred than the bond between mother and child. But if that is your resolve, then you leave me no choice. I will raise young Cor-Vex myself, and be to him the father I never had, in honor of Seg.

  Nyssa-Vex : You're just like my father.

  General Zod : Get some rest. Perhaps you'll reconsider in the morning.
