Vol.2 Chapter 14: Meeting with Geeta

When Tallia and I opened our eyes back up, the two of us were standing in her living room. Tallia looked around for a moment and then turned to me with a strange smile.

"Is it strange if this place that I have basically lived my entire life no longer feels like my home? I have so many memories here with Mom, but each time I think about them, I think of my new home. Is this normal?" Tallia asked, and I pulled her into a hug.

"I don't know if I would call it normal, but I don't think there is anything wrong with it. While this was your home, both you and your mom have moved to Prisma, which is now your home. It will take some getting used to, but like I said, you are all free to come and go as you please... Just don't pop out in front of random people, or that could cause a bunch of problems," I explained, and Tallia hugged me back.

Afterward, I called a cab, and as soon as it came, both of us climbed in. "Where are you headed, Super Star?" Larry asked with a wink as Tallia moved into the middle seat to buckle up and then cuddle into my chest and under my arm.

"To see Geeta. Take us to the school, if you don't mind, or as close as you can get us," I said, and then gave him a wink that made Larry smile broadly, and then nod.

"I am not supposed to do this kind of thing normally, but since you are such a celebrity, I will make an exception!" Larry laughed as the metal cab rose into the air.

Tallia kept her face pressed to my chest the entire ride, so I just held my arm around her and looked out the window. I wasn't looking at anything, but I did want to have a quick chat with Cryo.

[What is it?]

'While I don't mind taking the scenic route, this is very time-consuming. Is there any way that we can set up portals, or some kind of marker to help make wormhole travel easier?' I asked, and Cryo was silent for a moment.

Geeta led us inside, and we made our way to her office. Once seated, I got straight to the point. "Tallia would like to resign as chairwoman. She feels her place is now in Prisma, and we would like to find a suitable replacement."

Geeta nodded thoughtfully. "I see. Tallia, are you sure about this decision?"

Tallia took a deep breath and nodded. "Yes, Geeta. I've thought long and hard about it. Prisma has become my home, and I believe my place is there now."

Geeta smiled gently. "I understand. We will begin the process of finding a new chairwoman immediately. In the meantime, Tallia, I wish you all the best in Prisma."

Tallia looked relieved. "Thank you, Geeta."

"There's one more thing," I added. "I would like to have some of my girls serve as instructors at Blueberry Academy. It would be a great way for them to get out of Prisma, and share their knowledge and experience."

Geeta considered this for a moment before nodding. "That sounds like a wonderful idea, but I am sure you know you have to keep their place in Prisma a secret. I'm sure the students would benefit greatly from their expertise, but the last thing we need is the knowledge of you being able to catch humans getting out before we are prepared. I'll make the necessary arrangements, but make sure to use your time at Blueberry Academy wisely. We can only hide this for so long, and you need to be ready and strong enough to face the challenges that are sure to come your way."

"Thank you, Geeta," I said, feeling a weight lift off my shoulders, while more was added. With these matters settled it felt like we were making real progress, even if I knew there was an almost endless amount of work waiting for me in the future.

As we left Geeta's office, Tallia looked up at me, her eyes shining. "Thank you, Landon. For everything."

I smiled and squeezed her hand. "Anytime, Tallia. Now, let's get a hold of Iono and Grusha so we can head to Blueberry Academy and start this new chapter."Findd new stories at novelhall.com
