I really like being a human and a Gem at the same time. I have powers, and I get to live with Garnet and Amethyst and Pearl, but I still get to see Dad all the time, and I get to know a lot of humans... I really want to understand everybody, and I think I can, because even if I'm not like anybody, I also am like everybody!

Lana Lang: So what's it like over there?
Supergirl: On New Krypton? It's... different. Our people are happy there. The planet itself is beautiful, too, but... It's weird, but being around other Kryptonians like my mother, I'm really starting to feel... well...
Lana: Alien?
Supergirl: Some of them are so different from humans, Lana. They think differently, they speak differently, they... react differently. I've been on Earth so long, it's been hard for me to fall back into being "just another Kryptonian".

I am who I am, mother. The gods wanted me to have two generations, two mothers and two names and being child of two nations that hate each other deadly. But I am not in the mood to cry and lower my head. And the gods must show me the way!

These Ghost-Blooded walk in two worlds at all times. They are living and dead, cherished and despised, wanted and rejected, used and neglected. They have the power to fight against their nature but are doomed to become the ghosts they battle. They can serve faithfully while alive but are not truly accepted until after they die. They are too warm and alive to the dead and too cold and pale to the living. They are the Ghost-Blooded, and they truly belong nowhere.

Janeway was aghast. "What you're suggesting is a direct violation of our Prime Directive!"
"Is this the right time to worry about Spacefleet's ban on miscegenation?"
"It's right in any circumstances! Ask your friend B'Elanna how good her life has been, caught between two worlds and belonging to neither!"

My father was an Ulster man, proud Protestant was he.
My mother was a Catholic girl, from County Cork was she.
They were married in two churches, lived happily enough,
Until the day that I was born and things got rather tough.
Oh, it is the biggest mix-up that you have ever seen.
My father, he was Orange and me mother, she was Green.
Baptized by Father Riley, I was rushed away by car,
To be made a little Orange man, me father's shining star.
I was christened "David Anthony", but still, in spite of that,
To me father I was William, while my mother called me Pat.
Oh, it is the biggest mix-up that you have ever seen.
My father, he was Orange and me mother, she was Green.
With Mother every Sunday to Mass I'd proudly stroll.
Then after that, the Orange lodge would try to save my soul.
For both sides tried to claim me, but I was smart because
I'd play the flute or play the harp, depending where I was.

Elder: Sometimes you must remember the beginning to see the end.
Monkey: Please, no more riddles! Tell me what to do!
Elder: For years, I tried. I wanted you to fit in. To be one of us… But your destiny is to walk between two worlds… never belonging to the humans… never belonging with the monkeys… yet keeping them both safe. Wear the suit. Be what you’re meant to be. A killer of killers.
