Chapter 76

"So, Lex Luthor is in custody?" Olivia Marsdin asked J'onn when he returned to the DEO.

"He's being transported to our most secure facility as we speak. There's no way he'll ever escape again." J'onn said.

"Good. Now J'onn I'm also here because as part of the alien amnesty act, I'm also announcing a new position to my cabinet. Director of Alien Affairs. I need your help picking a candidate for that position." Olivia said.

"I think I have someone here who could fill that role." J'onn said as he led her over to where Alura and Astra were talking with Jeremiah.

"Madame President." Jeremiah said as Alura and Astra both nodded recognition of her.

"So, which of these three did you have in mind?" Olivia asked.

"Have in mind for what?" Alura asked.

"As part of the alien amnesty act, President Marsdin is appointing a new member of her cabinet, the director of alien affairs and Alura, I think that you would make an excellent candidate for that position." J'onn said.

"Alura?" Olivia asked.

"My birth name is Alura Zor-El. However, on this planet I go by Melissa Starr. But I must ask J'onn, why me?" Alura asked.

"Because not only were a lawyer on Krypton, but you said it yourself, you were a member of Argo's ruling council. You already know politics and I know that you've been completely fulfilled working here at the DEO. I think that this position would allow you to truly achieve that." J'onn said.

"I agree. I won't force you to reveal yourself, you can go by your legal name on earth, but it sounds like you'd make an ideal candidate." Olivia said.

"Can I have some time to talk this over with my husband and daughter?" Alura asked.

"Of course. By the way, El, are you related to?" Olivia asked.

"Supergirl is my daughter." Alura said.

"Another reason to go by your earth name." Olivia said and Alura nodded, since honestly, she had to admit, this offer was tempting, but she wanted to talk it over with Zor-El and Kara first.

"You wanted to see me Ms. Grant?" Kara asked as she entered Cat's office.

"Kara, there's something I didn't tell you about the President's visit." Cat said.

"I know you two are old friends. I did my research." Kara said at Cat's look and she chuckled at that.

"That's how I know you're the right person to leave this company to." Cat said.

"Eventually yes." Kara said.

"Not eventually. Now." Cat said.

"Wait, what? You're way too young to even consider retiring." Kara said, shocked.

"On that we agree, but I'm not retiring. Olivia has offered me a job as her new press secretary. And since pretty much everything else you can learn about this job can't really be taught, I told her yes. So, effective tomorrow, I am officially appointing you as the new CEO of Catco Worldwide Media." Cat said, much to Kara's shock.

"Are you sure I'm ready?" Kara asked.

"Kara, no one truly knows what they're capable of until they try. But know that I would not be leaving the company I have worked so hard to build to you if I wasn't sure you were ready for it. I'll still be here for a few days to help you get settled in." Cat said.

"Actually, I'm attending a wedding in Star City and I need to leave tomorrow, so is there any chance we can put this off until I get back?" Kara asked.

"How long will you be gone?" Cat asked.

"It's the wedding of Oliver Queen and Laurel Lance, so I should be back by this weekend, which I believe is when the president is leaving." Kara said.

"I'll speak to Olivia, but I'm sure we can hold off on the announcement until you get back to take over." Cat said and Kara nodded at her gratefully before surprising Cat and hugging her.

"Thank you for everything Ms. Grant." Kara said as she moved to let go, but to her surprise, Cat actually hugged her back.

"You're welcome. And please, call me Cat. You've earned that right." Cat said and Kara was even more shocked by that.

"Okay then, Cat. I hope I make you proud." Kara said as she left the office, not believing that when she got back from her vacation in Star City, she'd be the CEO of Catco Worldwide Media. Her mind was already racing with ideas for changes she needed to make.
