“…and finally, they invited Allison Janney to the Correspondents’ Dinner again, so some of the guys were wondering if they could get a snap of you two together. Meta, you know?”
God, Cat can’t stand this assistant. She’s at the mercy of the DNC for staffing her office, but given that she’s the first Press Secretary in the modern era to also serve as overall Director of Communications, her time is much too precious to waste on hiring and firing. There’s no Winslow or Kelly here to pick up the slack while she rotates assistants.
“Absolutely not. Not only can Janney drink me under a table, but she’s got about a foot on me. I don’t need that visual metaphor out in the world.”
“Of course, ma’am.” And the ma’am isn’t going anywhere, not when your new assistant is a friend of Lucy Lane’s, former JAG Corps. “Before your ten o’clock briefing, there’s just the list of the new credentials for you to familiarize yourself with.”
“Keira.” Okay, so that isn’t her name either. “I don’t need to know their names and their alma mater and which pinterest clipping they’re just super proud of. So long as they make it clear which outlet they’re from, and are willing to shun Breitbart with the rest of the room, it couldn’t possibly matter less who the new faces are.”
With that, Cat is on the march.
Prompt: SuperCat slightly future fic – Kara has seasoned as a reporter and her most recent promotion has her covering the White House beat (we’ll assume Olivia won re-election & is serving a second term).
