After the fight, Brainy went to Nia's apartment and talked to her. He then surprised her and broke up with her in order for him to actually understand his feelings. Not knowing it is a way to defeat Lex Luthor and Leviathan, Nia accepted the break up and let Brainy leave the apartment.

Wildcat Dreams

Nia then attacked him using her powers, only to be stopped by Kara and brought Bauer to justice.

Leviathan and Lex Luthor
During Leviathan and Lex's attempt to kill Supergirl, Nia fought against both of them and continuously had dreams of Brainy laughing on the Leviathan Ship. During the battle, Nia was able to defeat several Leviathan members and realized that the dreams are in fact, flashes of Brainy's death. As the offense team gets overwhelmed by Leviathan, they disappeared thanks to Querl Dox. She then informed them and went to rescue Brainy.

Moments later, Nia went to the Leviathan Ship and attempted to rescue Brainy. Brainy then warned her about the radiation of the ship, which she ignored and damaged the security systems using astral projection. She quickly collapse on the ground and the Super Friends arrived, with M'gann brining Nia, Brainy and Alex away from the radiation. Gamemnae was then defeated by Supergirl using a microchip containing the Anti-Life Equation.

No More Secrets
Returning to the Tower, Nia and the team reunited with Lena Luthor. During the conversation, Nia had a dream of Lex as the Anti-Monitor destroying planets. Nia later talked to Brainy, who gave her his Legion Ring for "safekeeping", saying it might come in handy during battles. Nia then went to the Lex Luthor Bunker on Shelley Island with Alex Danvers to retrieve the Bottle. The two was then faced by Otis Graves and Lillian Luthor until the headaches caused by the satellites started, overwhelming the two. However, J'onn and M'gann were able to destroy all satellites at once and allow Alex to electrify Otis' neck, allowing them to take the Bottle from them.

Nia then arrived at the Fortress of Solitude and fought Lex Luthor, who was quickly defeated when Alex released the energy from the Bottle. However, Kara was hit with the Phantom Zone Projector and trapped in the Phantom Zone.

Nia then returned to the Tower and reconciled with Brainy, who promised Nia no more secrets and explained the reason he worked with Lex. At night, Nia went to CatCo Plaza and covered Kara's disappearance as going to Cat Grant for a special interview.

Alternate Timeline
In a dystopian timeline, Nia was part of the resistance Super Friends and fought against Lena Luthor's control, At one point, Nia was scarred by an unknown attack and lost Brainy's control to the enemy.
