Chapter Text
I heard about Miss Danvers's Pulitzer via Susan and was informed Miss Luthor would be the one making the speech at the event. Miss Arias noticed my screen and asked if I wanted a day off to be there but I just shook my head, it was too soon since I was transferred. I thanked her for the idea. At least I can see Ruby more often, she is getting pretty good at soccer, I am not sure about the rules but if her team goal more often it should say something about her team.
A few days before the event, I got a distraught call from Susan, Catco has been sold to .... Andrea Rojas and she made a few change in everyone contract. Andrea took her in her office and after an embarrassing bad interview, was demoted her back to her archivist job. Miss Rojas is making changes and Susan didn't think Catco would go well soon. Miss Arias heard me mentioning Miss Rojas name and frowned and mumbled about she thought Her and Miss Luthor not longer friends after a gala or something. She asked me but I was unable to tell her anything. I mentioned Miss Luthor having spend several weeks in Argentina during summer. Miss Arias looked displeased and went to make some calls (I think to Miss Danvers). Even if I think dealing with two company was too much for Miss Luthor. I do think it will be the same for Miss Rojas but even if she is not on the level on Mr Edge, the fact she is planning to use Catco to advertise her company product (some L-Corps tried to refrain) is not a good start. I have heard of the VR real time and simulator contact lenses from Obsidian North. It sound interesting but even if it might help with my research and keeping Miss Arias calendar up to date, I do not think it should be something to use wildly. I have heard of several accidents already.
I heard of an incident at the National City Lost World of Krypton museum and Superman pod was taken, probably an alien as I think no human would understand how to fly away so easily without being confused by the Kryptonese instructions.
Susan called again and mention Andrea hired a British (?) journalist without consulting with Mr Olsen. Rude much
I heard about The Pulitzer event, and for some reason ( I have been in National City too long, I half expected something too happen and hey look it did) A woman (?) crashed after Miss Luthor speech, Supergirl came to the rescue - to the shock of everyone she was wearing a new suit (pants in place of the skirt, she does look good in that new outfit, I would love to know who made it, Fashion newspaper are going to print so many articles for the next few weeks to discuss it, I am sure -) and saved the day.
Susan called again (so much for no longer be the editor in chief assistant, I hope no one monitor the calls from the archive/library department) and told me that Mr Olsen quit. I was stunned, I never thought Mr Olsen would ever leave Catco. I hope he made the right choice.
I am not sure what to think of the changes at Catco. Miss Arias noticed my frown reading something, she assure me she would call Miss Luthor and try to find out what happened as she is confident she bought Catco because of Miss Danvers and not just because of Mr Edge.

Kara, Lena, Sam and Alex were in Miss Grant office
Cat: Andrea Rojas?
Lena: I knew she was going to be interested with the release of the contact lenses. The business talk were more about some ... (she looked nervous) some big story that would shot Catco to Number one magazine for months
Cat raised a brow but waved the subject off, turned to Kara: And the contract change?
Kara: Andrea told everyone that everyone was now on new three-year contracts with non-competes
Cat: You got to be kidding me, you didn't say anything when I called you?
Kara shrugged: I quit, remember and then you sent me the editor-in-chief contract which was pretty good
Cat snorted: I bet, but no one thought to call a Lawyer to confirm the legality of the changes without any discussion/interview ... gee let me think, like you didn't have Lucy Lane on speed dial
Kara: I was a little distracted and then too busy
Cat: By?
Kara: I told Lena about being Supergirl just before her speech at the Pulitzer event
Cat: Well took you long enough
Lena mumbled : Close call (Kara and Sam turned her way, Lena shuffled awkwardly, Cat noticed, Kara frowned)
Kara (to Cat): You didn't accept my invitation
Cat shook her head: I was in Switzerland, I think had I been at the event, I would probably take the limelight from your reward. I was proud of you but I think I would have brought the wrong kind of reporters, I was hounded by tabloids ever since Baker arrest. I wanted to protect Carter
Lena looked conflicted, Cat titled her head
Cat: Something the matter, Miss Luthor?
Lena flinched: I .... (she sighted) I was going to use the Pulitzer event to (she closed her eyes to avoid seeing Kara reaction) release a video revealing Kara as Supergirl
Kara/Alex: WHAT!?
Cat: Please explain
Lena looked distraught: I wanted her to feel the pain I went through when Lex told me
Cat (sarcastic): Yes telling the world would have eased your pain I am sure
Lena: Oh like you would have never
Cat (interrupting): Not that way, Miss Luthor, I suspected Kara but I wanted her to not be distracted by being my assistant. I would have expected several interviews/scoops out of her but I would have not revealed her identity for whatever reason. But since you didn't
Lena: Because she finally told me!
Cat: Well great
Lena snapped: I just changed my plan
Kara scoffed: So you went from putting everyone close to me in danger to deciding to put everyone in danger.
Lena: I didn't .... wasn't
Kara: Oh you mean you didn't think of the risk you were going to put Eliza, Alex, J onn, Nia, .... Even Sam and Ruby because they had been seen with me as some points. you really think Lex fan, the agents of liberty goons still around, The military, whoever left of Cadmus would have not tried to go after me and my friends?
Lena blanched
Kara: The would have Probably gone even after you, since you teamed with Supergirl so many times.
Lena blinked
Kara shook her head: You were going to act like Lex, A super upset a Luthor, you lose all sense of proportion, not caring or thinking of the consequences.
Lena: That's not true
Kara shook her head in disgust: How did I ever believe ....
Alex grabbed her arm: All right, that's enough, why don't you take a break and go fly around to cool off before you say something you might regret
Kara glared at Lena, grunted and left the office
Cat: Well that went well
Lena started to tear up, turned to Alex but the agent raised a hand stopping her
Alex: Don't thank me, I am not your friend right now but I don't think whatever Kara was going to say would have been good and I didn't want her to melt your face just because you nearly destroyed her
Lena gaped: I .... (she looked down) ... I know I was wrong ....
Alex: I will call Kelly, you and Kara obviously still have a lot to talk about
Lena nodded, sniffled but left the office without saying anything else
Cat made a face: Maybe this was a bad idea
Alex scoffed: Oh like you are not enjoying this
Cat frowned: I am many things Agent Danvers but I don't think this (waving her hands) is good for them or for the City
Sam looking conflicted: And here I was about to tell you I was about to start training
Cat: training?
Sam smirked: Miss Grant
Cat: Right
Sam: However a couple of things
Cat hummed: Please enlightened me
Sam: one: Training might take months so do not chase me for update, two: Ruby is off limit, she will finish her study and maybe she will decide to help. It might take years. three (and Sam winked): I would love to know your or your fashion department idea(s) for a suit
Cat looked happily surprised: Really?
Sam: Just not anything black
Cat: Naturally
Sam: And I will need a mask
Cat: Of course
Sam: However, Ruby will be the one naming me
Cat pouted: Dommage
Alex shook her head: She took her time to think about this
Cat nodded: Clearly
Sam: However I think Alex and I are going to be busy the next few days (pointing outside) I mean there are two unhappy friends that need ...
Cat: Yes, yes ... (waved them off) Go, Go .... (Alex was about to leave) Miss Danvers (Alex turned around) Tell Miss Rojas, I would like to talk to her (Alex was about to say something, Cat glared at her, Alex rolled her eyes) and (Cat looked concerned) Keep me updated about .... you know, Will you? (Alex nodded and left)
