《New Earth: Supergirl》Chapter 40
Advertisement
It had been a few days since Kara had returned to Earth and now she was at work in her office, checking her computer every 15 minutes or so, since while she was using it for work, her computer was also synced to the Tower's system, so she was checking for any signs of her parents' arrival on Earth, since she was getting very eager for her parents to see her aunt and uncle again.
Anyways, right now, she was working on getting the permits and zoning commissions in place in order to turn the Star City office of her paper into a TV studio, since she did agree with Thea that it was a good idea, since there were people who depended on TV for news instead of reading a newspaper or magazine, even if they were online.
However, she was driven from her thoughts when she heard someone enter her office.
"I really need to get an assistant." Kara said, since while she had her own office in the back of the overall office now, something that she and Mon-El had both agreed would be useful, should he choose to visit her at work at the right time, but people still seemed to think that they could just walk in any time they wanted.
"Perhaps I could help with that." A familiar voice said and Kara nearly jumped, since she hadn't looked up to see who it was that had entered her office, but she'd recognize that voice anywhere.
"Ms. Grant." Kara said and Cat Grant rolled her eyes.
"Please Kiera, I think you've earned the right to call me Cat." Cat said, though she was pleased to see that her former assistant and junior reporter was still scared of her a bit.
"Sorry, it's just a hard habit to break, even after so long." Kara said

"Fair enough. I have to say, I was surprised when I heard what you were doing after you left Catco." Cat said.
"After I was fired you mean." Kara said.
"Yes, and never repeat this to anyone, but I am sorry about that. You do remember that I was not there when that happened." Cat said.
"Of course, you were on your spiritual retreat and for some reason left Snapper Carr in charge." Kara said and Cat chuckled.
"A mistake I regret, though I have to admit, maybe that was for the better, since you've clearly flourished." Cat said.
"Well, I've had help." Kara said.
"Of course, but still, even I did not think that you possessed the ambition you do. I mean not only did you start your own newspaper, but you decided to take it a step further and go National. I hear you have offices in Central City, Gotham City, Star City, Calvintown, hell, you're even encroaching on the Daily Planet's territory by opening an office in Metropolis. Had I known the ambition you possess, I never would've let you be fired, hell, I probably would've promoted you to an even higher position." Cat said and Kara was shocked that Cat had just complimented her.
"Okay, I'm a little concerned since you just complimented your competition." Kara said.
"Oh Kiera please, we both know that the reason you've never set up an office in Coast City is because while you may be willing to take on Perry White, you're still too scared to come on to my turf." Cat said and Kara didn't even bother trying to deny it.
"So, how can I help you?" Kara asked.
"Well, I'm not sure if you've heard, but I have actually been offered a job as the new press secretary for the President, since you exposed the old one as being one of Lex Luthor's associates, along with former Vice President Baker." Cat said.

"I have heard, but what does that have to do with anything?" Kara asked.
"Well, before I leave Catco, I want to make sure that it's in the hands of someone I trust, since I don't want to risk some corporate sleaze taking over and perverting my company in order to promote themselves." Cat said and Kara had to resist the urge to chuckle, since that had almost happened in the old reality.
"Sounds like that is already in the process of happening?" Kara asked.
"Morgan Edge is trying to buy Catco, so before I leave, I want to make sure that it is safely out of his hands." Cat said as Kara began to realize why Cat was here to say she was shocked was an understatement.
"Wait, you want to sell Catco to me?" Kara asked.
"You're already establishing a national media empire, no reason to leave Coast City off that list." Cat said.
"But are you sure you want to sell it to me?" Kara asked.
"There's no one else I could possibly trust with this." Cat said and Kara smiled before nodding.
"Okay then. I'm a little swamped at the moment, but maybe I can come out to Coast City this weekend and we can get all the details sorted out then?" Kara asked and Cat nodded.
"I can agree to that. I may even send you a few potential applicants to be your assistant." Cat said.
"That would be great. I will see you this weekend." Kara said and Cat nodded in agreement since that was more than acceptable for her, since she some time before her new role as press secretary started and she walked out.
Before Kara could even begin to truly wrap her mind about what had just happened, her computer beeped, indicating that her parents' ship had finally arrived and she grinned, since the reunion she'd been waiting for had finally arrived.

Rise of an Undead in a Fantasy World
Have you ever wondered what would happen if an undead being that doesn't know what it is like to be alive got free will? What would that undead creature do? How would they think? How would they view the world around them? Would they see life as futile and conquer the world, making it a lifeless danger zone to all living beings? Well, none of that matters, because that's not happening. Our main character is your average gamer from the modern world, yada yada yada... gets transported to a fantasy world through obscure means, blah blah blah... you know how this works. What separates him from the masses, however, are his views on ethics, and world politics. ... Oh, and the fact that he doesn't need to breathe. Message From Author! Accept?: Yes No This is only my second novel, so keep that in mind. I will try to keep the quality of the story to an acceptable level. This means something that I, myself would read. The quantity, however, may put some people off. Adding onto the whole "villainous lead" thing, I will make sure to have the character develop into that perfect little villain over time, instead of starting him out as a bloodthirsty murder-hobo. Of course, there will still be a lot of murdering and he may be a hobo for some of it, but it will mostly not be out of malice in the very early chapters. Last but not least, I have decided there will not be a defined release schedule for this, as I have lost interest in forcing myself to upload x amount of times a week. I will upload whenever I get a good idea, and take my time. That is, if I even feel like writing in the first place. Instead of taking breaks from this novel to do my own thing, I will take breaks from my daily life to post on here. Also, I'm lazy. Thanks for reading, and if you're alright with everything above, feel free to give it a read, and without further ado, have a good one! - Your Author P.S.: I will have little to no romance in the story, as I can't bring myself to writing it, so you don't have to worry about harems.
