Supergirl - A New Earth to Save

Chapter 33

A couple of weeks later, Kara saw that Lois and Clark were right. Her paper was rivaling the Daily Planet. She then thought that it might be good to change the name of the paper because she was soon going to expand and take the paper national. So, instead of being the National City Daily News, she was going to drop the word city, so now the company would be known as the National Daily News.

She was already getting Lois and Clark to check into locations in Metropolis so that she could expand there. She also talked to Iris about looking for a place in Central City so that she could expand there. It would be nice to open branches in Star City and Gotham as well, but she didn't know anyone in the newspaper business there. So that would be a while before she expanded there. She would have to go and interview people in those cities.

Lois called later that day and said "I think I found the perfect place for the paper in Metropolis. Do you want to come out and look at it or are you just going to trust me on it?"

"I trust you Lois. Plus, if Kal looked at it and he approved, I am sure I will too." Kara said.

"So, do you think we can open in a month? It will take that long to close on the building." Lois said.

"Yeah, I have made enough money now that I should be able to pull that off. Are we renting or buying?" Kara asked.

"They will let you rent to buy, but I feel better just buying it outright." Lois said.

"I agree with you there. Let me know how much we are talking, then I send you the money." Kara said.

"Will do. Talk to you later Kara. I need to get back to work." Lois said.

"Bye." Kara said and she hung up her phone and got back to work.

James walked into Kara's office and asked "So, what did Lois want?"

"She said that she and Kal found a building for the newspaper to use in Metropolis. So, we will be expanding there by next month sometime." Kara said.

"Wow. That's great. You really are taking this whole running a business thing by storm." James said.

"I am trying. I just want to put good content out there that everyone wants to read." Kara said.

"I think you are doing well. Hey, by the way, Lucy and I are going to the new place on 1st street this Friday and we were hoping that you and Mon-El could come." James said.

"Sounds great. Let me ask Mon-El and see what his schedule is." Kara said.

She pulled out her phone and called Mon-El and asked, "Are you free Friday night?"

"Yeah, what's up?" Mon-El asked.

"James asked if we wanted to go with him and Lucy to the new place on 1st street." Kara said.

"Yeah, I am free. It should be fun." Mon-El said.

"Ok. I love you. Bye." Kara said as she hung up.

"He said he was free. So, yeah, we can join you on Friday. What time?" Kara asked.

"Be there at seven. Well I got to go and develop some pictures. I will talk to you later." James said.

"Yeah, I will see you later." Kara said.

Kara got back to work. She had started working on her article that would expose the Vice-President as being corrupt. She had found where he was getting paid by someone through a bank account in the Cayman Islands. Most likely it was Lex, or someone who worked for him anyways. She also found out that he had an email telling him that someone was going to expose the President as an alien, back before she had helped the President from being exposed.

She was very close to being done with the article when she got another phone call. This time it was Iris. Kara assumed that she had found a place to start up her branch of the paper as well.

"Hey Iris. It is good to hear from you." Kara said.

"You too. How interested are you in starting a branch of your paper in Central City?" Iris asked.

"I am very interested. I just got off the phone with Lois not too long ago and she found a building so we could expand into Metropolis." Kara said.

"Well, I have good news then. I found a place in Central City as well. It is a nice building and It has room so that if we keep on expanding, it will allow us room to grow." Iris said.

"Send me the information and I will look it over. How long until you can open your branch if this works out?" Kara asked.

"I would say a month, two at the most." Iris said.

"Sounds good. I will let you know what I decide soon. Talk to you later Iris." Kara said.

"Bye." Iris said and Kara hung up her phone.

"Well that was a productive day. I think I am going to finish up this article on the Vice- President, then I am going to go home and rest." Kara said talking to herself as she finished the article and published it so it would be in the next day's paper and then she left to go home.
