What's next?

Working for the Daily Bugle

For Elizabeth Brant going from being apart of Midtown News, her high school's new program, to working with an actual news media outlet could've been considered a dream come true... or at least it would've been if not for - "Miss Brant!" The shouting of her boss J. Jonah Jameson, filling the studio

"Coming!" Betty replied as she hastily stepped forward. Working for the Bugle seemed like a good chance for Betty to use her reporting skills for something useful, though for the time being she was stuck with a jerk for a boss and having an unpaid internship where she was in charge with managing the company's TikTok account, still better than Midtown New though.

Jameson was sitting at his desk, the camera crew surrounding him as if he was preparing to shoot a news segment right here and now. But none of this mattered as he noticed Betty and didn't even give her a second to relax before he started giving her orders "There you are! Hummert called in sick today and there's a robbery going down at the First Republic Bank over in Madison Ave! I need you to go there and do a live report of what's going on over there, high chance that menace will be there as well!" Betty stood there in shock, an actual important job. Joy quickly spread throughout Betty's body as she could finally use this opportunity to prove her value to the Bugle. Jameson quickly took note of the dumbfounded Betty, or at least the fact that she was still in front of his desk "Am I paying you to stand around? Get going!"

"Um, you don't pay me at all." Betty corrected him, until an idea popped into Brant's head "Wait? Am I getting paid for this?"

Jameson, not even wasting a second of time, burst into hysterical laughter. Betty could only stand there dejected as J.J.J slapped him knee to add further injury before becoming serious "No time for jokes Brant! Go with Grace to the scene of the crime, he'll be your camera man!" Jameson points to a man in the back of the room who simply gives a wave as Betty turns to look at him "Now get out here! You've got reporting to do and so do I!" Jameson asserted as he fixed his tie.

And with that, Betty went off with Grace to film. As she hopped into the news van, Betty made sure that she'd make a name for herself in this industry.

Such a simple report, what could possibly go wrong?
