Chapter 5

Kara laid back in bed snuggled up to Alex over the last couple of years they had been dating and it had been a good couple of years at that. That didn't mean she didn't have problems Oliver's behavior made life difficult he had been arrested for possession last weak though his fathers highly priced lawyers had gotten them out.

"Are you up already?" asked Alex getting up it was a Saturday, so they didn't need to be anywhere.

"Yea. I was looking over acceptance letters."

"For University your marks are so good you can get into any school you wanted" said Alex. She got up and put on a pair of pants. Kara was worried, mostly because Alex had been pulling away for a few months now, she wasn't blind but not sure what to do, Moira had told her to talk with Alex, but she didn't know how to bring the subject up.

The winter ball was an event the cities elite got involved it, it was generally used to make donations to the poor and it was good to be seen there.

"Hey Alex I know you don't like the events the Elite of the city often go into but do you mind coming to the winters ball with me tonight?"

"I'd love to," Alex said.

The ball had been an annual event in the city for the last 30 years since it was started, Malcolm Merlyn had made the largest donation to the city making him the cities golden boy as Robert came in behind him.

Kara had been sitting at the table alone for a while now. She was happy being alone until Morgan Edge a sexist dinosaur had approached her.

"Come on Kara I bet you could benefit from spending the night with a man."

"Go to hell Morgan. I'm not interested," Kara said smacking him across the face she left a red hand print on the cheek.

"Wow what was that about?" asked Sara Lance the youngest of the Lance sisters she knew Oliver had been secretly seeing her. He stayed away from Alex since Kara had been dating her throughout school and many think the two of them would get married in a few years time if the relationship lasted into the twenties.

"He was complaining about me not being interested in his dick," said Kara sitting down at her table.

"Ah. I hate men like that, they complain but performance isn't ever as good as they say it is" said Sara.

"So what do you want to do after school?" Kara asked.

"Oh I don't know. I was thinking taking time off and traveling a bit" said Sara this had raised alarm bells in Kara's head. Oliver had said the same thing as Laurel was going to start a law degree, Tommy was doing business. While Kara had completed advanced studies in mathematics and science thanks to her Kryptonian education, the biggest problem she often had been dumbing things down enough for her teachers to understand.

"I'll likely move out to metropolis. The local university as an amazing program" said Kara surprising Sara.

"Ollie wanted to stay local. You're going to the East coast?"

"Alex is going to study in national city. A long distance relationship is going to be interesting," said Kara looking around for the dark haired woman she was no where to be seen. Alex wasn't anywhere to be seen.

"So where is Alex anyway we were planning on leaving early" said Kara.

"I think I saw her leave the hall" Laurel said approaching the two of them, Kara looked at her and blinked she focused in on Alex's heart and decided to follow it. She frowned finding it in the men room, why the hell? Kara walked into the room and heard sounds that were not encouraging and opened a door.

"What the hell?!" Kara shouted.

"Kara?" asked Alex shocked as Morgan smirked.

"I guess she just wanted a man for once" he said before Kara broke his nose and left

"You and me are finished Alex" Kara left the bathroom with the Lance sisters they quickly went to the Queens mansion and up to Kara's bedroom as she made no secret of what had happened.

"Comfort food" said Thea as the 11 year old gave Kara a buck of vanilla ice cream. Laurel and Sara both got one each.

"I can't believe her" said Kara.

"I actually can. Look Kara, I don't want to hurt you by saying this but over the last year Alex as hit the bottle pretty hard" said Laurel.

"She's never done anything to hurt me though. I thought she loved me" said Kara as the phone started ringing and Kara picked it up.

"Kara I don't know what came over me. I was drunk I'm sorry."

"It had to be the most sexist man in Starling city didn't it Alex?" asked Kara.

Alex sighed on the other end "Please Kara don't let it end like this."

"No Alex there is no turning back from this. I want you out of my life never call me again" said Kara hanging up the phone she switched it off, I'll have to block that number Kara thought as the four of them sat in silence and ate ice cream.

"No thanks I start University next week, I'll be moving to metropolis then." said Kara.

"Wait next week? Damn we'll be gone by then" said Oliver he didn't want to miss Kara starting at uni not to mention moving into her own apartment, she had used her own trust fund to purchase a small apartment close to the school.

"I know your going to metropolis to study Kara. I'm staying in Starling city for that but I had always planned on taking a year off in between school and uni to travel" said Oliver.

"Still. I can't help but think this is more about partying then traveling and seeing the world" said Kara.

"Well there'll be plenty of that involved. Come with me?" he asked.

"The Queens Gambit no thank you."

"Your not match better than mum."

"Well I happen to agree with Moira on this one. That boats not safe, are you taking Laurel?" asked Kara suspiciously.

"Yes" he said as he went out of the room Kara just watched him go having that sinking feeling. Kara walked into her mothers office and found the device used to talk with super man.

"So you are coming to Metropolis soon I here?" asked the male voice on the other end.

"Clark yes."

"You seem to know my name too?"

"I was told the name a while ago by my now ex cheating girlfriend Alex Danvers."

"I didn't know you were dating someone from the Danvers family. Wait she cheated on you?"

"With the biggest sexest slimiest dinosaur in the city and after that it only pushed me towards metropolis I need to get away from Starling city for a while" said Kara,

"OK so that means your going to need somewhere to live."

"I want my own place I can't stand a dorm room. Moira offered to buy me a pent house as a present, but she nor I don't know a lot about local real estate" said Kara.

"I can have Diana Prince show you a few places, she's a major investor in real estate and Bruce Wayne also invests in Metropolis not just Gotham."

"I think Bruce might be the better option I've met him a few times at those events the elite like to hold" said Kara.

"OK consider it done" said Clark.

Kara had walked out of the bedroom a week latter to find Moira and tell her what was happening she found her adopted mother, but she was crying in her office.

"Mum what is it?" asked Kara.

"It's the Queens Gambit" she said in between sobs.

"What?"

"Its sunk." Kara almost collapsed she caught herself on the desk first and sat down before doing anything else but started to cry unable to hold back any tears.

"What do you mean its sun what about Robert and Oliver?"

"Both are gone. Lost at sea" she said as more tears came down.

Hi guys we have one more chapter before the end of this arc. As for Kara and Alex breaking up it would just be too easy for them to jump straight into a decent relationship together. They will get back together but not for a while I needed to separate the two of them for plot reasons, also in the show Alex in her late teenage years I get the impression she was a mess and didn't make many good decisions so its not to far of a stretch for me to imagine she would do something like this in the late teens stage.
