As I walked out of the alleyway, I turned to Red Queen and asked, "Where's the house that you arranged? What's the address?"
Red Queen's holographic display flickered to life, showing me a picture of a luxurious building. "It's this one, sir. The address is 1234, 5th Avenue, New York City."
I was taken aback. "Hey, Red Queen, You said a house, not a freaking building!
Red Queen's avatar smiled innocently. "I thought you wanted something bigger, sir."
I shook my head, chuckling. "You know, Red Queen, sometimes I wonder how you manage to get away with things."
Red Queen's response was matter-of-fact. "I can access any bank's system with just a thought, sir. Acquiring funds is not a problem."
I laughed. "Alright, alright. Let's just go take a look at this building."
As I walked towards the building, I noticed a beautiful secretary standing outside. "Are you Mr. Ron Johnson? We've been informed that you're the one who bought this hotel building."
I nodded. "Yes, that's me. Can you reserve a unit for me? I'd like to live here."
The secretary smiled. "I've already reserved the most beautiful unit for you, sir. It's the penthouse. I can accompany you there and introduce you to the room."
I nodded, feeling a bit tired from my long slumber. "Let's just relax first. I've been sleeping for countless years."
As we walked towards the penthouse, I couldn't help but think about how different this era was. No social media, no smartphones... it was a simpler time.
"Red Queen," I said, "I think it's time we invested in some shares. Maybe Google, iPhone, Amazon, Facebook, and YouTube?"
*************
Red Queen's response was immediate. "Already done, sir. I've acquired large numbers of shares in those companies. You'll be set for life."
I grinned. "And don't forget to buy some Stark Industries shares too. I'm not sure what kind of genius Tony Stark is, but I'm sure it'll be a good investment."
Red Queen chuckled. "You're not exactly a financial genius, sir. But I'll take care of it."
As we entered the penthouse, I was taken aback by the stunning view of the city. "This is amazing. I think I'll be happy here."
Red Queen's voice echoed in my earpiece. "I'm glad you're pleased, sir. Now, let's get settled in and start enjoying our new life in this era."
I smiled, feeling a sense of contentment wash over me. "Sounds like a plan to me, Red Queen."
As I looked out the window, I couldn't help but think about how much I had missed. The world had changed so much since I last saw it.
But with Red Queen by my side, I knew I was ready for whatever came next.
