24. Be anonymous

Robin would have loved the actual Batmobile from Arkham Knight but that would be illegal and he would probably be arrested the next moment. That Batmobile was so badass that more than 70% of the game was Batman driving his Batmobile. Hell, even the Riddler's puzzles were exclusively made just so that Batman could solve it while driving the Batmobile.

But Caliburn had it's merits. This car was one of the fastest in the game. One could go from 0 to 60 in less than 3 seconds with a top speed of over 200 miles per hour. This should be enough to explain how much of a best this car was. He slowly brought out the car and lowered it on the ground.

He didn't want any scratch on the car due to his negligence. After a few seconds the car got to its original size. If it was an anime, Robin would have reacted the same way Luffy reacted when he first saw Franky after the time skip.

Robin's eyes were visibly sparkling in pure joy. This was his dream. The car looked like a version of Bugatti but more high-tech and more beautiful. One of the reasons he chose this car instead of going to Forza Horizon for cars was because he wanted something that was a little unique to him.

This car was more high-tech, more powerful, environment friendly and of course he wanted to show off a bit. This car had checked the list that contained in the dreams of Robin.

"JARVIS can you drive this car?"

"Yes sir I already have access, this car has a new kind of energy source never seen before. The main fuel of the car is CHOOH2 and is basically a plant based fuel. It doesn't emit any kind of harmful gases and is more efficient than traditional cars. I would say that even in my previous world nobody ever could come with such an efficient energy source."

"Tony Stark made the arc reactor. That is more efficient than this car can ever be."

"No sir, making the arc reactor comes at a huge cost and it could never be made public."

Robin understood what JARVIS meant and he was right. The arc reactor was a technology that could never be made public. Earth wasn't ready yet.

While JARVIS and Robin were talking about the car, 2B and Haunter peeked from the side of the garage. They were actually having fun with each other when Robin left and seeing he was absent they went on search for him.

When Robin looked at 2B, he saw Haunter on her arms happily snuggling on her arms. Robin was a little surprised how quickly Haunter had got accustomed to her. 2B was looking at the car with curiosity and said

"New car?"

"Yes, I just brought it out. You don't have any clothes other than that dress. We need to buy you some clothes for you."

"This is my battle dress and I would like to continue with it."

"I know but you can't wear the same thing everyday. You can wear it when you fight." 2B looked a little uncomfortable with so many changes within an hour and didn't know how to react.

"We will go shopping now and you can buy whatever you want." Robin assured and hoped that women's instincts were passed on to her and shopping would make her happy. Though Robin was forcing some changes in her it was better that way. He would have to interact with the world and she couldn't be far away. It was better she got used to the world as fast as possible.

2B just nodded her head to that. She couldn't go against the wishes of Robin anyways.

Stolen from its original source, this story is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.

Robin picked up the license plate and glued to both the ends of the car. They would go shopping now as the house needed lots of things starting from food to other necessities. Robin could have skipped the groceries from the game itself but he didn't want to raise any red flags in the future if any kind of investigation were to be done.

He needed to be a normal citizen and doing these chores was the only way possible. Of course, there was this problem with 2B. JARVIS had already made a separate identity for her, making her arrive in the Netherlands from Eastern Europe and working as Secretary for Robin.

Many parts of Eastern Europe weren't as developed as Western and so they could use the loophole and just integrate her identity to the country. After fixing the plate Robin went to freshen up before leaving for the city. He had already checked the inside of the car. It was the same as in the game.

The steering wheel looked like the ones from the racing tracks and the interior looked like the designs that Robin had seen in the next gen cars that were still new.

Later after getting himself ready Robin and 2B went out to buy things with Robin driving the car. As expected, the moment the car hit the streets, people's heads were turning. Normally it shouldn't be like that as Amsterdam was a rich city with many rich people living here, but the car was so sleek that it had definitely piqued the interest of the people around.

Soon, they reached one of the biggest shopping malls named Kalverpassage where there was almost everything available. Robin parked the car in the parking lot. And after that both Robin and 2B went shopping. What he didn't expect was that he was getting the same looks when he was driving.

Now people looked at 2B instead of the car. Though most of them were not creepy, the beauty of 2B definitely blew people away. What was more surprising was that many people actually thought she was cosplaying 2B herself and she was in the mall for some kind of event.

This prompted many people to come and ask for a picture with her. Robin had forgotten that this was the actual 2B and there were definitely many people who had played that game or at least know of it.

After much struggle, he had to pull 2B to a clothing store and asked to select clothes for herself.

This was 2B's first interaction with humanity in her life and it was safe to say that she didn't expect this. People were enthusiastic and they seemed to like her a lot. Her eyes were telling her how people's heart beat would change for a bit once they put their eyes on her. At first she thought it was just the reaction of men as she had been taught about opposite gender attraction.

But here even women were attracted to her. Of course not all were attracted to her. Some of them felt threatened a bit by seeing her beauty or some felt jealous. Those kinds of reactions were kind of expected as humans were complex creatures with tons of emotions and thoughts.

After the overwhelming response from people she was asked by Robin to choose clothes. There were plenty for her to choose from and a sales assistant came forward to help her choose. The sales assistant was one of those who was attracted to her like others and just wanted to talk with her.

Of course the presence of Robin was forgotten among this but he didn't mind. He was happy that 2B showed interest in different clothes and that was all Robin wanted.

"JARVIS, what will be our next step?"

"Sir the data compression technology can only be tackled with a proper team and it's historically done by two users having both compression and decompression softwares if it's between two individual users. And another kind of data compression is saving in servers. The hardware stores the data in compressed form and when people want it, they can download from the server and decompress it. The technology I have is 200% more efficient but you can't release it right now as it might destabilise the market. We can approach that efficiency with time."

"Okay. So we will need a team to make the software?"

"Sir, I would be enough to make such a software but I will suggest that you hire people. This will help you build an empire slowly and also amassing resources from people in general while also providing for them."

"Alright. Did you find someone who is fit to lead such a company?"

"Yes sir, Henry Liang. Taiwanese born citizen of the Netherlands. He has been in the management of Adobe department here and he is almost fit for the job."

"I will trust you on this. You can start hiring and let everyone come together. I won't show my face in this public company. What about the holding company?"

"Sir, in 2 days everything will be ready and you can go and sign the papers for the holding company?"

"Alright. But how will you tackle the problem of our name being removed from the data compression company?" Robin was curious about how JARVIS was intending to hide his name from such a big breakthrough.
