Supergirl Season 4: 6 Major Questions We Have After The Midseason Premiere

6. Is Romance Still On The Cards For Nia & Brainy?

Introduced in Season 3, Brainiac-5 has often been a source of Supergirl's comic relief, with his robotic approach leading to some hilarious exchanges. However, this season has taken an emotional toll on him, eventually inspiring him to remind us that he is actually techno-organic and, thus, he has feelings.

Some of those feelings seem to revolve around newcomer Nia Nal. Ever since CatCo's new reporter stood up and defended him against anti-alien bigots, Brainy has become somewhat attached to her, finding out everything there is to know about her (in a completely non-creepy kind of way). Furthermore, Nia does appear to share those feelings as she lights up when he enters the room and often giggles at his unusual mannerisms.

Their latest encounter was undoubtedly their most unusual yet as Brainy scheduled a date for the pair merely to discuss the possibility of Nia becoming a superhero. Though she was disheartened at first, Nia did appear touched by his words of encouragement about her abilities. However, as Brainy himself eventually noticed, he did seem to taint the pair's fun and innocent dynamic by bringing superheroes into it, and it does beg the question: Will they be able to salvage it?

We do know that Nia is destined to become Dreamer, but is a romance with Brainiac-5 still on the cards? Whatever happens, it's hard to deny that the pair's scenes haven't been one of the most endearing qualities of Season 4. So, in case it wasn't already obvious, more Nia and Brainy please.
