Starling City, the hometown of Oliver Queen, better known as.... Although no, now Green Arrow hasn't appeared yet, in this world he's still called just Arrow. That'll change in a year or two, I don't remember exactly. It doesn't matter now, though. The city seems to be intact, which means that Detstroke hasn't started a war here yet, so I still have time.
My main plan was to get rich and get good equipment for my future base. There were two places to get advanced technology, the first was Star Labs and the second was, oddly enough, Queen Consolidation. I certainly wasn't going to sit idly by in a world of superpowers and superhumans. Although, my desire for battle was gone, I wasn't so eager to take risks and get into the thick of it. Hmm, maybe I'm losing my mind.
The world of superhumans is a wonderful place, and if I do it right, I may one day have some sort of superpower or alien supertechnology. So I have to make the most of my canon knowledge, and right now all I can do is lay low. My current body is too weak to get in shape, and I need to get a laptop, I don't want to walk around with a stolen phone.
Hmm, I've got five hundred bucks, four hundred should be enough for a simple computer, and I can get wi-fi at an Internet cafe. Okay, I'll buy a computer first, then I'll hack into a couple bank accounts, I need at least a few thousand bucks for some decent forgery equipment.
I made a decision and abandoned the stolen car, put on my hood and went to look for the nearest electronics store. It's a good thing that you don't need a passport to buy equipment, so there shouldn't be any problems.
It wasn't hard to find a store, there were plenty of them here, I bought a simple eMachines laptop for 420 bucks, and went looking for an Internet cafe. It was more difficult, there were plenty of stores, but not a single cafe, big cities are like that.
After an hour of walking, I was lucky enough to find what I was looking for. The Internet cafe was small, but there was enough space. I ordered a coffee and got to work, but I used my own laptop. It is not a good idea to use the provided computers in an Internet cafe for hacking or anything illegal, I know this firsthand.
First of all I reinstalled the operating system to a more suitable one for me, luckily I had bought a flash drive so there was no problem.
Then I began the process of hacking into other people's bank accounts, and started transferring money to my virtual address on the darknet, of course converting everything into cryptocurrency. After a few successful transactions, I finished, finished my coffee with peace of mind, and left the cafe. Now I wouldn't have to worry about money for the next couple of months, I had 10,000 bucks in my account, and that was enough for my business.
Of course I could go on and steal more money, but there are huge risks of being noticed, also you shouldn't steal very large sums of money, you can get caught. I'm not out of my mind yet and stealing large sums by hacking is very stupid, especially in a world where there are organizations like ARGUSA or hackers like watchmaker working for different organizations. I don't need to shine, there may be a better way to make money soon, I just have to wait.
Since I couldn't get a hotel room for obvious reasons, I had to seek temporary shelter, and where better than in the Glades to make shelter being a homeless person with no papers?
So I went to the disadvantaged neighborhood of Starling to look for temporary housing. The place was full of abandoned buildings, garages, factories, and workshops.
I chose a small workshop with some boxes and a lot of different tools, it was full of dust, so it was obvious that no one was here. I checked the area for wifi and was not surprised, there was none. Looks like I'll have to find a signal booster to intercept other people's signals. Well, that's for later, but first I'd better set up my temporary shelter.
I found a broom and swept all the dust out of the room I had settled in, that should be enough for the first time, once I get my papers, I will only come here for training, so I don't need much cleanliness.
After making sure that everything was suitable for a temporary base, I left the laptop and went in search of a truck. Now I had to buy some equipment.
It wasn't hard to "find" the truck in the Glades, though maybe someone had already "found" it before me, so I quickly stole it and headed for the nearest electronics store. There I bought a lot of useful stuff, a good computer, a lot of useful components, transmitters, a few monitors, and other equipment. Of course I didn't get that much in one store, I tried to get some from different stores so as not to attract unwanted attention. Plus I hid my face with a hood, it's the best way to hide from cameras, I have experience in it.
Next I went to various stores, first of all a sports store, where I picked up some sports equipment and nutrition for the near future. Although, I'm not sure how it would work on my body. I also bought a refrigerator, I still needed somewhere to store food. And lastly, I decided to buy a couple of tools, a circular saw, a grinder, a welder, and other tools for working with metal. I bought some plastic blanks, saltpeter, aluminum, charcoal, and of course sulfur, might come in handy. That was the end of it, as the truck was already full. And the rest of the things I needed could not be bought in the usual stores, so I went to the base. I still had to set everything up.
