May 29-Metropolis, Delaware
"Morning, Cat!" You smiled as she walked into the office.
"You okay?" Clark asked.
"I saw something really weird on Twitter this morning."
"That's not exactly unusual, Cat." Lois joked.
"It said something about Morgan Edge buying The Planet."
"What?"
"What does that rich douche bag want with us?" Jimmy asked.
"I don't know."
Perry walked out of the elevator with his coffee and made a b-line to his office.
"Perry!"
He stopped in his tracks and turned around.
"Yes?"
"Is it true?"
"I'm gonna need some context."
"About Morgan Edge."
He sighed and nodded.
"Yeah. It's true."
"You can't let him buy us out! He'll control everything that goes to print!"
"I don't have a choice! People don't read the paper like they used to anymore. We're losing more money than we're making."
"There's got to be something we can do."
"Unless we can magically make ten million dollars, there's nothing we can do."
He continued on his way to his office and left the group alone.
"What are we gonna do?" You asked.
"There's nothing we can do."
"You can't be serious, Lois."
"None of us have ten million dollars! What are we supposed to do?"
"I don't know."
"If Edge buys us out, he's only gonna let us write what he approves."
"No more real journalism."
"We'll work something out." Jimmy assured you. "There's no way Perry is gonna let us become Morgan Edge Times or something."
"I hope you're right."

You were finishing dinner while the boys played in the living room. Clark came up behind you and wrapped his arms around you.
"That looks good."
"It better. I just spent two hours on it."
"I'm sure it'll taste great."
"Go set the table, please."
"Yes ma'am."
"Boys, put the toys away and come help your dad."
"Okay!"
They quickly picked up the toys and went into the kitchen to help Clark. Once they were done, you began putting food on the plates while Clark got drinks. You all sat around the table and began to eat.
"This is really good, mom." Zeeke told you.
"Thanks, honey."
"You should be a chef."
"Uh...okay."
"You're the best mom ever."
"What do you want?"
