Agewise, Hattie is a contemporary of Jon. She could be a reporter as soon as ten years later. The story I am working on takes place fifteen years later, after Hattie has 'paid her dues' as a gofor and researcher and nmoved to the reporter ranks.
No, I was thinking of Blonde-Lois and her Clark, aka the next-gen identities of LnC. The two of them must be in the same age-group as Jon and Hattie. But when LnC ran the DP as editors, their young versions must have done *something* during that time. Otherwise, they'd have a 20-year hole in their CV.
