Dad. Kal. H'el. Siobhan. They ALL let me down. They all broke my heart. And now THIS. No more. Nobody gets away with hurting me ever again. Not THIS time!
— Supergirl a few moments before of getting her Red Ring, Supergirl #28
Lobo: I'm offering you a way to take ownership of your life. This planet's too smalltime for the likes of you, Kara Zor-El. You were meant for bigger things.
Kara: You know what I am sick and tired of? People acting like they know me— like they only want what's best for me.
Lobo: Now, hold on—
Kara: NO! Everyone I meet makes plans for me. Everyone ends up trying to use me. Even Shay. Even Kal. And now you. Well, I am finished with users.

Supergirl: This strength, this power — It's been like a curse. But I refuse to be a victim anymore!

Shay Veritas: How'd she get a Red Lantern Ring? [...] A Kryptonian wearing one of those is an extinction level threat—!

Superman: You know what, Kara? Ever since you showed up on Earth, you've been trying to get me to do one thing — leave you alone to let you live your own life. You've been so focused on just being angry — yes, you lost your home, and that's terrible, but you can't bring it back.
Supergirl: What are you saying?
Superman: You've been choosing anger instead of acceptance for so long that you've become anger. You want to be your own person? Good. Be your own person. I just hope you like who you turn out to be.

So it took the Red Ring of Rage for me to finally find acceptance. So what? This planet will live. And I pummel anyone who says otherwise.

Supergirl: But then I thought of mother. I remembered all I had to live up to. A daughter of the House of El never quits. I wasn't about to be the first.

Supergirl: How could anyone make it their mission in life to murder whole worlds? Can you imagine what an abomination that is to an orphan from a dead planet? [...] This world-killing stuff... it hits a nerve. It makes me furious, and the ring just fans the flame!

Sheko: You... You can see me?
Alura: OF COURSE I can see you. Now GET OUT of our home!
Sheko: Who are you...?
Alura: Alura Zor-El! Praetor of Argo City! And you trespass at your peril!
Alura: OF COURSE I can see you. Now GET OUT of our home!

Alura: Alura Zor-El! Praetor of Argo City! And you trespass at your peril!

Worldkiller-1: Can not you see that both of our lives have led to this union?
Supergirl: Stop. Just stop. You make us sound like lovers, and it's turning my stomach.
Supergirl: Stop. Just stop. You make us sound like lovers, and it's turning my stomach.
— Supergirl #33
Supergirl: My mind is free of all the rage and confusion now. I know who I am, and I know what you are — a mockery of life. This is not murder. It is the end of a terrible mistake.
