"Why won't you come out with Lena and me? You say you want me to have friends and she has done nothing to you." Kara pointed out again. Her and Lena had developed quite a pattern of clubbing on Friday nights after sneaking away from Lena's bodyguards. Alex had accompanied them a few times but usually begged off.

"Because Lena is your friend. She doesn't have to be one of mine, Kara. It's okay." Alex told her, leaving out the part about not trusting a Luthor, any Luthor.

"It's not as fun if you aren't with me. What if I lose my cool? Who is going to calm me down?"

"You can always call. Besides, I have a date tonight."

This caught Kara by surprise. They had been here nearly an entire semester, a week away from the Christmas break and Alex had shown no interest in dating.

"When did you plan a date? I haven't heard anyone ask you on a date." Kara pointed out before realizing what she said. Alex caught it immediately of course.

"Hear? Why would you hear someone ask me on a date? Please tell me you aren't listening to me all day."

"Of course not! I just check in on you. You haven't been taking any drinks you didn't fix yourself, have you? Who is this girl? What is her name? Where did you meet her? How long have you known her? Why haven't I heard about her before?"

Alex shook her head, recognizing that she should just give in or Kara would never let this go.

"Fine, her name is Andrea, she likes Andi. We have a genetics lab together. We have been chatting off and on all semester and she finally asked if I would like to go out tonight."

"Go where?"

"Thats my business, Kara. I do not get involved in whatever you and Lena are up too nor do I read the text messages you and Barry Allen send each other all day and yes I know about it.You should be happy. Aren't you always telling me I should get out?"

"I didn't think you would actually do it! Where are you going? I will stay in the background like I always do and make sure everything is on the up and up."

"No, you will not. You and your friend go have fun. Don't be out late. I want to try out this new thermal suit and hang gliding helmet tomorrow. It is disturbing how much I am beginning to enjoy these trips to the coldest, most barren place on Earth."

Kara shook her head, remembering. "I forgot to tell you. We aren't going to the Fortress tomorrow. I have a better idea. You know how Mom and Dad swear the DEO building is secure?"

"Yeah..." Alex admitted, not liking where this was going.

"We are going to prove it isn't. We are going to enter and leave undetected. I almost have a plan worked out. We can go over it tomorrow morning and make our move tomorrow night. Then that will prove to Dad that the building is not secure. He wouldn't risk Mom and she wouldn't let him go alone. Problem solved." Kara finished, proud of her reasoning.

"You realize how many federal laws we would be breaking? Forget about the law, they are carrying Kryptonite bullets! I guarantee they are. We could both be killed!"

Kara was a bit disappointed, thinking Alex would be on board.

"Aren't you the one who gets mad at me when I do something risky without you? This is me including you. If you don't want to, I understand. It's no problem."

The blonde walked off to their bedroom, Alex hot on her heels.

"You are going whether I go with you or not, aren't you?"
