Capítulo 4: figuring out the time line
While sitting in the airplane, waiting for takeoff to Star City, I decided to figure out which DC Universe timeline I was in. This would greatly influence how difficult it would be to implement my future plans.
I started with Superman as a reference point and then branched out to other heroes. After a few minutes of searching, I managed to piece together some crucial details. The Justice League existed and had been operating for about a year following Darkside's invasion of Metropolis, Superman's home city.
"We are taking off; please switch off all electronic devices," came the voice of the flight attendant, interrupting my investigation.
Unbothered, I pulled a notebook from my bag and began writing down every significant detail I knew about the DC Universe. Truthfully, it wasn't much, as I was never a die-hard fan of the comics. Sure, I watched the movies and animated shows, but the comics—aside from a few Batman issues—had always been untouched territory for me.
After a while, I opened my laptop and began coding my version of Flappy Bird. This game would be the first product released under Stark Industries. By the time we landed in Star City, I would have the coding completed. I had already outsourced the graphic design and paid for it upfront, ensuring that part of the project was taken care of.
I'd also handled all the necessary paperwork for setting up a company. Once I reached the city, I just needed to sign a few documents and officially launch the game. How did I manage all this so quickly? The answer was simple—I paid the right people the right amount of money.
Additionally, I had placed orders for some essential items to be delivered to a warehouse I now owned. These items would arrive in a day or two, thanks to the premium prices I paid for expedited shipping. It was worth every penny, as these items were critical for my cloning project—one of many endeavors to eliminate my constant fear of death.

Star City was a completely different place compared to Gotham. In Gotham, stepping outside me anted danger —whether from a murderous clown or some other maniac lurking in the shadows.. However, in Star City, things were much calmer. you can walk around without constant paranoia.As Green Arrow's rogues' gallery is small and manageable, nothing compared to the extensive and dangerous lists of foes faced by Batman or even the Flash.it was smaller, less organized, and didn't have the same level of chaotic intensity. This made Star City a relatively safer and more manageable place to establish my plans.
And let me say this—the weather here is infinitely better than Gotham's. Seriously, I need to research why anyone chooses to live in Gotham when there are far better and safer options in the DC Universe.
"After signing some documents, I quickly made my way to the warehouse I had bought. It was located a little outside the main city, making it perfect for my 'main decoy base.'
As I opened the door to the warehouse, I was greeted by warm air, dust, and debris. Everywhere I looked, there was dirt and spiderwebs. Shaking my head, I sighed—there was no way this place was going to be clean. I'd had low expectations, but this was beyond what I'd imagined. I should hire a cleaning crew to handle this mess while I wait for the materials I ordered to arrive.
Clap!
Suddenly, a white door materialized in the middle of the warehouse. Without hesitation, I opened it and stepped inside the Infinity Castle.
Clap!
The door disappeared behind me as if it had never existed, leaving no trace of its presence.
[Inside the Infinity Castle]
I took off my jacket and tossed it onto the ground, letting out a breath of determination. Opening my laptop, I navigated to the "Project Anna" file—a project that would soon bring my vision to life. Anna would become my right-hand woman, my oracle, but far superior to Batman's version. She would be smarter, faster, and infinitely more reliable.
