It was a two hour flight from Metropolis to Palmera City, though it felt much longer to Gemma considering that she wasn't entirely comfortable with heights or flying.
But the moment she stepped out of the airport she felt like she was home again. The airport was close to the beach and Gemma could almost smell the fresh ocean air. It was a scent that she missed and a small pet of her regretted ever moving to Metropolis.
Over the last four years she had been so occupied with school and starting out at Ivo Tech that she hadn't thought much about the city she grew up in. Not because she didn't have fond memories of it, but because it also reminded Gemma of her aunt, Julia, who had died from a stoke her senior year of high school.
Thinking about her aunt and everything her father had done made Gemma angry. Anthony Ivo had started his company to make technological advancements in the medical field. To prevent loved ones from dying, and although he had done it at first he had become obsessed with the idea of immortality.
He had grown to fear death, and had forgotten why he had started Ivo Technologies in the first place. His obsession with death is what turned her father into a monster.
What they called The Hub of Palmera City had expanded so much in the last couple of years. Surprisingly even more in the last four years that she was gone.
As they drove through the city Gemma couldn't help but notice how Palmera City was starting to resemble Metropolis more as the center of the city consisted mostly of skyscrapers.
Each major company seemed to have a location here now. From Queen Consolidated, LexCorp, Wayne Enterprises and Ace Chemicals. But the tallest of all the buildings continued to be Kord Industries, they practically owned Palmera City and were the reason why the gentrification of the city was getting worse.
They had just opened a new Ivo Technologies location less than a year ago in Palmera City. It was much smaller than the one in Metropolis, but it gave her the perfect excuse for her suddenly leaving after having just started as the head of the research department.
