Nothing Even Matters

Chap 10

Blake's POV

"She's been training for the FBI her whole life," I said. "Whatever she says, it's because she's wired that way."

Alexis' phone rang and she picked up. "Hello," she said. She paused. "I totally forgot. I'll see you in a few." She walked off talking.

"Why is she avoiding eye contact with me?" I asked.

"She knows your want her back," said Drew.

"But?" I asked.

"She can't give you that chance for a reason," said Ericka.

"Why?" I asked.

"She's in a relationship with someone else," said Devin.

"For nine almost ten months now," said Drew.

"Why didn't you tell me?" I asked.

"We just found out," said TC.

"Look, let me talk to her," said Brittany.

"No offense but what could you do?" I asked.

"I don't know but let me give it a shot," said Brittany. "She'll listen to me."

"Considering how she blew me off yesterday," said Ericka. "Good luck."

"Anyone know where I can find her?" asked Brittany.

"Depends on who she's with," said Lana.

"She got a call and left," I said.

"It's a secret location Clark and his friends made up but I'm not one of those people he trusts enough to tell me," said Lana. "You're best bet is the Luthor Mansion. If she's not there, try talking to Lois Lane or Chloe Sullivan."

"Thank you," said Brittany.

"No problem," said Lana. "But if she won't listen to you, get a hold of me and I'll give it a shot."

"Sure thing," said Brittany.

"Have fun," I said.

"I'll try," said Brittany.

"Just be careful because I don't think she would want to know about this," I said.

Britt's POV

"She'll most likely listen to me," I said. "Wanna come, Teec?"

"Sure," said TC. We went to the Luthor Mansion and snuck up to Alexis' bedroom. "What are we doing."

"Start looking," I said.

"She could arrest us," said TC.

"Just do it," I said. We started looking. I checked her closet and the most simple places. "Nothing."

"Got something," said TC. I walked over to the dresser and it was filled with things. "Or I got a few clues."

"These are all her momentos with Blake," I said as I looked at the pictures. "Her happy moments." I saw a picture of her and Blake kissing and one of her and Sam kissing. "Why would she have those side by side?" I grabbed her journal and looked through it. I looked at a red passage that caught my eye. "This is not good. Not good at all." I put the journal back and closed the dresser. "Let's go."

"What's going on?" asked TC.

"I'll tell you in the car," I said. We walked out and got into my car. "This is not good." I got out my phone and called Ericka. "Come on."

"What's going on?" asked TC.

"Hey," said Ericka. "What did she say?"

"It's more, what is she not saying," I said. "I found a journal in her room."

"I don't wanna know her whole personal life but what did you find out?" asked Ericka.

"So, I found out Alexis wants Blake back. She's happy with Sam as well when she was happy with Blake," I said. "She's not wanting to hurt either one. With Blake, she hurts Sam. With Sam, she hurts Blake. I don't know what to do."

"Cognitive visualization," said Ericka.

"Alright," I said as I hung up. "But that's what she wrote." I sighed. "Gotta tell her she can't have a normal life with Sam."

TC's POV

"In the mean time?" I asked.

"We find out where she is," said Britt.

"Which city?" I asked.

"If not Smallville, it's Metropolis," said Britt.

"Or Quantico," I said.

"She wouldn't," said Britt. "Not without a goodbye."

My phone vibrated. "I got a text from Alexis," I said.

"Me too," said Britt.

TEXT

Lil Agent: meet me at the penthouse under the clock tower in metropolis. See you there

----------

"Time to go," I said as Britt started driving. The two hour drive there was silent. We got there and she parked right next to Alexis' car. We got out. "I guess everyone got her message."

"Yeah," said Drew. "We were waiting for Drew."

"Let's go," I said. We followed Britt to the penthouse. There was Alexis in workout clothes fighting with a topless guy. "Alexis." She looked at me and the guy punched her. "Oh!"

"Nice one, Ollie," said Alexis. "Let's take a break, Oliver."

"Never lose sight of your opponent," said Oliver.

"You okay?" I asked.

"I can take a punch," said Alexis. "Guys, Oliver Queen. Oliver Queen, my friends."

"Nice to meet all of you," said Oliver.

"Same here," I said. "Why'd you want us to meet you here?"

"I kinda left without an explanation," said Alexis. "I invited you because I'm doing combat training with Ollie."

"Combat training?" I asked.

"Yeah, getting her ready for the academy," said Oliver.

"He knows?" I asked.

"Yeah," said Oliver.

"And you're?" I asked.

"Billionaire CEO of Queen Industries," said Oliver.

"How many billionaires do you know?" I asked.

"Just two," said Alexis. "Lex Luthor and Oliver Queen." She smiled when she said Oliver's name. "Except Ollie is a better man than Lex himself. Oliver even has a room for me here if I want to come and live in Metropolis."

"You should," I said. "Closer to family and friends."
