Office Encounter
Cat Grant made her way to CatCo furious that she had to get her own coffee today. Today out of all days, why is it so hard to find good employees in this city she thinks to herself. As she made her way past the paparazzi, trying to get a statement from her about the National City’s new superhero, she waved them on stating that CatCo will be doing a press conference in an hour. At least this superhero could possibly save the Tribune and perfect timing with the new junior editor starting. She came highly recommended from Clark Kent and snatching up talent before Lois Lane did was a favorite past time of hers.
As she’s waiting now in her private elevator she begins to think of Supergirl, the mysterious woman she will be branding. She needs to get a private interview with her, the first, she won’t let Lois Lane come into her city and scoop this Superhero too.
As the elevator stops a bit of her coffee spills onto her jacket, shit, “this is why I have my assistant give this to me after I get off.” Huffing she remembers she needs a new assistant, she should have hired that girl, she took initiative and also wasn’t bad to look at.
Striding off the elevator, the bullpen became silent looking for Cat Grants cue. Most of the key players in CatCo were on the floor waiting for Cat Grant to spring into action after yesterdays event.
"Whitt! Take my jacket out to dry cleaning!” She yells to her IT guy.
Winn took Miss Grants’ jacket fumbling with it down to the elevators. As the door opened still looking down he bumped into a pretty hard shoulder, looking up, he said excuse me then paused, he bumped into a tall, muscular, blonde hair woman getting off the elevator looking lost and spilling more coffee onto Miss Grants caught.
“Oh gosh, oh I’m so sorry, here let me take it, I’ll clean it up for you!” Kara replied, upset she was already messing up on her first day.
Winn replied, “oh no, no worries, I’m already taking it to the dry cleaners for Cat Grant,” he smiled at her while straightening up.
Still standing in the elevator she relaxed with that information, as she walked by she said, “oh, where is Cat Grant’s office?” Winn replied, “The glass one, with all the people looking slightly terrified.”
Kara made her way into a meeting that was already going on. The head of HR tried to explain what was going on today, but in light of the new superhero she wouldn’t be able to get a full tour today and should just make her way up to the meeting that would be happening in CatCo’s bullpen. She made her way into Miss Grants’ office and started to listen to the woman…
“…Now we need all hands on deck with this one, we don’t need some sleazy gossip magazine getting the scoop and we don’t want the daily planet either. James! You know the big blue boy scout over there, see if they are related! We need to brand this Supergirl, where did she come from, where has she been, what makes her tick! Chop Chop everyone, I need answers!”
Just like that she’s shooing everyone away until she notices a familiar ponytail and cardigan in the crowd, the girl from the coffee shop, who is this girl, how did she get in here, she must be from TMZ or a Lois Lane plantto get the scoop. She was going to get to the bottom of this.
“You! You Stay.” She directed at the younger blonde. Kara froze in her place and turned to see a Cat Grant smoothing out her skirt and swirling a pair of glasses in her hand as she leaned back on her desk. Despite the cool demeanor Miss Grant gave off Kara could hear the quickening of her heart beat as Kara approached.
“I’m sorry Miss Grant, I’m here fo–” Kara began to stammer as she fixed her glasses.
Miss Grant cut her off, “Coffee girl, that was oddly nice of you to get me my latte, not every day do I have a young, attr- woman stepping to my rescue from frightened cashiers.”
Kara slightly blushed was Cat Grant about to call her attractive and moved a strand of her hair behind her ear, “It was nothing, Miss Grant, just trying to help, I’m actually here –” she began to say...
Cat Grant cut her off, “Yes, why are you here, TMZ, Daily planet? I don’t need a spy lurking through my hallways.” She said as her eyes focused on the younger girl stepping closer making Kara fumble with her hands, “Actually, that’s just it Miss Grant, I’m your newest hire…”
Miss Grant eyes widened, “oh wow, they already found me a new assistant, that’s perfect, first things first you…”
Kara cut her off, “actually Miss Grant, I’m your new junior editor for the Tribune.” Cat Grant was taken aback, was she just caught off by the young girl standing in front of her to tell her she’s her new junior editor. No, Cat Grant set the rules at CatCo. Getting even close to the girl who started to turn a slight shade a pink,
“This is my Company and I can see where people fit, now whoever hired you clearly thinks your suited for the junior editor positon, but I need an assistant now! I know you can take initiative, you’re not going to work at the Tribune, it may be failing for all we know, no, you’re going to work under me,” blushing as she said under me, “you’re going to go a lot farther working for me directly, go find James Olsen and figure out what he’s found out about this Supergirl while I have new contracts drawn up for you to work for me. What is your name?” Kara still stumbling over everything that has happened, “Kara… my name is Kara Danvers.”
Cat Grant pauses, the way she said that, she’s sworn she’s head that voice before, cocking her head to the side and eyeing her up and down one more time, “That’ll be all Kiera, I expect you back here within the hour with a full update on Supergirl.”
Kara let out a deep sigh leaving Miss Grant’s office and trying to find James. What else could go wrong this week. She huffed and thought, at least Miss Grant wasn’t bad to look at
