《New Earth: Supergirl》Chapter 42
Advertisement
Kara couldn't believe she was back at Catco. Considering the way she'd left things in this universe, she was surprised that security hadn't tried to stop her from going up. She could only assume that Cat had given them a notice to let her in. However, she was pulled from her thoughts when she heard a very familiar and unpleasant voice.
"What the hell are you doing here?" Snapper Carr asked her.
"I have a meeting with Cat Grant Snapper. Now get out of my way." Kara said, since honestly, she was no longer intimidated by him.
"You think you're a bigshot just because you have a crummy website?" Snapper asked.
"My so-called crummy website is a national media conglomerate that has practically every city with a superhero in it on call. Only reason I've stayed away from Coast City is because Cat Grant still terrifies me, but you do not. So get out of my way." Kara said, honestly taking a bit more pleasure in talking down to Snapper than she probably should've.
"You heard the girl Snapper. She might still be scared of me, as well she should be, but I'd think that you'd recognize that she's not the same junior reporter you wrongfully fired, so get out of her way and let us talk." Cat said.
"Why is she even here? I thought you'd be furious?" Snapper demanded.
"On the contrary. I consider her to be my greatest success, since look at what she's pulled off since she left Catco. I consider her success to be my success." Cat said and Kara had to resist the urge to roll her eyes at that.
"Anyways, Ms. Grant, I believe we had a meeting." Kara asked and Cat nodded as she gestured to Kara to come into her office.

"Wow, it has been a long time since I've been in here." Kara said as she sat down in Cat's office and realized just how true that statement was. It had been so long since she'd actually sat in Cat's office, since even in the old universe, it hadn't been Cat's office since she left Catco to be press secretary.
"Never repeat this to anyone, but there was a time I thought that maybe you'd be the one to sit in this office after I inevitably left Catco. But I guess it wasn't meant to be, since we're both destined for greater things." Cat said.
"Okay, so, shall we discuss the terms of this deal?" Kara asked and Cat nodded.
"One of the conditions I want to include in this deal is that I get an exclusive interview with the new press secretary." Kara said and Cat smiled.
"Done. Have you given any thoughts on who you're going to have run Catco in your stead, since I'm assuming that you'll be keeping your headquarters in National City." Cat asked.
"Not yet. All the other heads I've selected I've already known and trust and I do not want to put Snapper in charge of anyone in my company." Kara said.
"Smart decision. And I actually have someone in mind for you." Cat said.
"Really, who?" Kara asked.
"The current director of Catco's art department, Camile Hwang." Cat said.
"Well, I'd need to meet her and get a feel for her, though the fact that she has a recommendation from you is a major plus." Kara said, knowing how hard it was to get Cat's approval on anything.
"I'll have my assistant send her in, since I'd like to get this settled today." Cat said and Kara nodded as Cat called Kamila in.

"You wanted to see me Ms. Grant?" Kamila asked.
"Camile, I'm sure you know Kara Danvers." Cat said and Kara was stunned that Cat had just said her name correctly.
"Of course, who in the media world doesn't? And my name is Kamila by the way." Kamila said that last part was directed at Kara.
"I know and trust me, I used to work for Cat Grant." Kara said and Cat chuckled.
"Yes, and I believe that is the reason you are where you are today." Cat said.
"Fair enough." Kara agreed.
"So, can I ask why you wanted to see me?" Kamila asked.
"I wanted to introduce you to your new boss." Cat said.
"Wait, what?" Kamila asked.
"As you know, I've been made press secretary by the president and so, I've decided to sell Catco to the only person I know I can trust and that is Kara Danvers, since she will be making Catco a branch of her newspaper, though I'm assuming the name will stay the same?" Cat asked.
"Of course. I was thinking we'd just make it, Catco Worldwide Media, a division of Danvers Daily News." Kara said.
"Good. Now anyways, I called you in here because Kara here is going to need someone to run this office, since she's busy running the overall company in National City." Cat said.
"And you want that to be me?" Kamila asked.
"The fact that Cat actually suggested you definitely helps your case, but I wanted to get a feel for you myself." Kara said.
After asking Kamila a few questions, Kara decided that Cat was correct that Kamila was the right person to have run Catco.
After settling a few other details, including a price, Cat and Kara finally worked out the last of the details of the sale and since Cat had already gotten the board of directors to approve the sale, it became official. Catco was now officially a part of Danvers Daily News.
Kara stayed in Coast City for a few more days to get everything settled, she took an extra amount of joy at the look on Snapper's face when he found that not only was Kara the boss of him now, but he'd also been skipped over for head of the division. After helping Kamila transition, Kara was finally ready to head home, since she knew that her parents were planning on taking Clark's parents to New Krypton with them to with the transition of the surviving argonians and daxamites integrating into New Krypton's society, so she needed to get back to work and to planning her wedding. Not to mention, National City needed Supergirl back.
