Kicked out

He looked at it for a moment, his face showing nothing more than a frown. "I have no time to negotiate with some kid, leave. Consider the offer rescinded." Was all he said, the secretary leading me out. All in all it made sense, I was an unknown, trying to negotiate with Luthor would have been nearly impossible anyways. Besides if he wasn't going to pay attention then why should I bother continuing? So with that I wondered if I should even head for the next job offer or not, eventually realizing I didn't NEED the jobs right? I just needed a place to stay where I could have privacy, from there I could make wishes as much as I wanted and build from there! I would need allies eventually though, but for now I'd need to find a place I could rest. So I hopped into a taxi and went to a hotel, I ended up getting a suite and heading upstairs. From there? I started thinking about how best to go about this, perhaps more understanding would be better before I started using my power?

"I wish I understood my power more." I felt my head THROB in pain, new information appearing in my head. I could wish to warp reality itself, if I wished too big though? I'd end up **** with my wish failing, I could end up captured by someone wanting to use my power for their benefit if I wasn't careful. I needed to train myself using this power, needed to work on my skills, increase my capabilities... And I needed to get started fast. But where to start? First thing to start with, I needed some way to keep the Adamantium hidden...

"I wish I had an inventory system." With that I found a transparent screen in my face, red background with gold text. It showed my inventory screen, I had a slight headache from the wish leftover but was able to put the Adamantium into my inventory. Next I decided to focus on reducing the damn headache issue. A wish to heal 1% faster gave me a headache, but it went away faster than the last one. I mad the wish a few more times, slowly the headaches went away faster and faster. As I spent the rest of the day and night in the suite, I spent my time using my wishes. The first of which once my healing rate was increased? "I wish for video game like powers."

I found myself with several screens popping up in front of me a moment later, a minor headache at worst hitting me. I was able to see my stats, my powers, their levels, multiple things that could be helpful in the long run. When I looked at my stats I saw this.
level 20, STR: 10 AGI: 10 END: 10 INT: 50 WIS: 20 CHA: 20 LIB: 10. I already had gained so many levels! Had to have been from all the additional learning I did in my sleep, only thing that made sense. Then I saw another screen pop up.

It just continued on, over a dozen more still. Evidently I would be VERY busy for some time, that suited me fine though. With everything that would soon be going on in the world, the less eyes focused on some modest kid and his new start up the better. I made a wish that anything I made, no matter the method would be unable to be scanned, a last attempt at safety before I got to bed that night. Falling asleep was easy, the nightmares weren't so simple though...

I ended up making a wish that I wouldn't have nightmares about my families **** so often, once a month at most, that was apparently so easy to do I didn't even feel any head pain before going back to bed. When I awoke I decided I needed more capital, I needed things I could sell, something that would make me some money. I ended up wishing for small high quality gemstones and bars of gold, until my head began to hurt at least. At that point I'd take a break and then once it calmed down went right back to it, I spent my time wishing and recovering all morning. When lunch came around I checked out and paid in cash, carrying my bag around for appearances sake even though it was mostly empty. I'd already transferred my cash, gems and gold to my inventory, surprisingly I still had some space left but I didn't wanna risk wishing for too much at once. First place I went? A place I could sell my stuff at, I sold a few chunks of gold and a few gemstones, ended up walking outside and having a couple guys following me.

I slipped around a corner and got into a Taxi, when they turned the corner I was being driven away, watching them curse and try to get a taxi to follow mine. I held up an hundred dollar bill and said it was my drivers if he could lose them, he turned down an alley and got use three streets away before continuing on to our destination. I had asked him to take me to a place I could sell a lot of gems at once, some place reputable I'd specified. He took me to a jewelry store and I ended up selling my stuff there, made a LOT of extra cash and even was able to ask them to let me know when they'd be able to buy more. I told them I had a supplier or two that needed buyers.

I needed time, needed space to work, a place I would be undisturbed. I was so lost in thought I didn't notice I was being followed, when I did it was only cause I'd stopped and saw someone stop up ahead of me. The street was mostly empty but there were a few people nearing the end of the street, about to be out of earshot and view. I opened my bag and pretended to look inside, moving my eyes to look around and noticing that there were the two guys from the pawn shop earlier along with about 6 others. Trying to box me in, cut off any escape it looked like. I had no phone, kept everything worthwhile in my inventory, so the thugs wouldn't get anything off me. Seeing the situation I was in I continued calmly walking, like nothing was happening, spotted an alley that went through to the next street, that was my way out it looked like.

I headed down the alleyway, soon as I turned the corner I ran, I was halfway through when I heard someone cursing behind me as multiple people gave chase. So I threw my bag to the ground and kept going, nothing but an empty wallet and a few clothes inside. I got out and around the corner, running fast as I could to find a taxi, managed to dive into one that someone just got out of, right as the angry group got out of the alley, the driver got us away. With that I asked if he could take me to a realtor, someone reputable would be good. He looked about ready to refuse when I dropped a few extra hundreds into his hand.

An hour later and I was speaking to someone about purchasing a building that was being sold by a bank, someone hadn't kept up on their payments apparently. The first property I got hold of? A cheaper house with a big basement, I'd need a work area after all and there were few better things to get than a home. Almost right away I got a quest to make my home self sufficient as well as to buy the land it was sitting on. It wasn't the best neighborhood sure, within a day I had some local thug asking why I'd bought the place. Told him I was rebuilding the life stolen from me, he asked what I meant and I explained how I lost my family and just wanted to be let in peace. That seemed like enough for him so he explained that there might be some people wanting to ask for protection money soon if I wasn't careful, I told him I didn't have anything worth stealing, hell I didn't even have a job yet. He nodded his head and said he'd explain things, get them to leave me in peace. Then he asked where I'd come from, my one word answer of Gotham made him flinch like he'd been struck.

With that he left and I was able to focus on what I was gonna do next. With my new home I was gonna need furniture, repairs, numerous different things that would help make this into some sort of home at least. I ended up spending the rest of the night in the back, wishing for a big bed first and then wishing for more inventory space in between wishing for more gold and gems. By the time I'd gone to bed the door was closed, window blocked so no one could see inside, everything locked up and piles of gold and gems all around the bed area.

Waking up the next morning I put it all into the inventory, finding myself needing more space I instead made a wish to stack items in my inventory, freeing up a lot more space. Now I had a stack of gold and one of gems, each weighing around 5000 pounds... I might have wished for too much... Well I was gonna need money anyways. Next I would need some sort of body guard, someone to help keep me protected while I trained and learned more about my power... Do I entrust my powers to provide me someone? Do I...
