Zatanna was finished setting up for the next nights show. This would be her first show in Gotham and she didn't want to screw it up, like she would ever screw up a performance but everyone knew that you needed to make sure all things were set. The black haired girl made her way back to the dressing room and picked up her phone and a few personal items and than headed out. "Zatanna!" A voice called for the girl and she stopped looking back she saw a face she didnt think she would see around these parts. "Hey Logan." She smiled as the brunet boy walked up. "I thought i would find you here. Prof. Hesler wanted me to make sure you got this back." The boy handed her a deck of cards. however this deck was no ordinary deck of playing cards, this was her deck of Tarot cards.
"Thank-you Logan." The boy nodded and waved good bye. Zatanna than placed the cards in her hat and walked out the door. It had seemed to be a bit nippy out but Zatanna was use to the cold, wearing fishnets a lot made you a tad bit cold resistance. The woman made her way around the block and looked around for the batman. Yet he was no where in site. The girl walked in to a cafe, as she walked up to the counter the woman smiled, knowing instantly who Zatanna was. "Hello Ms. Zatara, what can i get for you." The woman smiled and ordered her hot chocolate and sat at a window table, taking off her hat she pulled out her tarot cards and began a new session.
Zatanna thought for a moment, pulling up three cards. one was the Two of Wands card, Four of Cups, and the Three of Swords. The woman was ofcurse doing this as she was looking at the man that stood across from the cafe. Boy was he in for a whirl wind of a life.

Damn it had been a long day! Adam Jackson Aka Wild Card had spent most of his day at school and god it was rough! Since he couldn't risk people finding out he was a skilled crime fighter, he had subject himself to the school bullies beatings and swirlies. After a day in hell Adam went back to his base and did his homework and worked on his gear for a few hours. As the sun went down Adam decided that he needed a break from work. He had a craving for a bagel with cream cheese and a hot chocolate. Adam Put on his Wild Card Gear over his jeans and green T-shirt and headed out flying to the Fashion District. He then landed in the alley next to the Cafe where Zantana was and landed cloaked his hover card and dismounted. He then removed his costume and put it in his back pack. He then walked inside Seeing the beautiful black haired woman in fishnets order and then take her seat. Adam then walked up to the counter popping his neck while taking out his wallet.
"A large bagel with cream cheese and a medium hot chocolate with cinnamon please."
Adam then paid his total when he got his order and decided to go sit on the other side of the Cafe across from the woman in fishnets. He hung his backpack on the back of his seat and sat his food and drink down on the table. He then decided to pull a deck of normal playing cards out of his backpack and start a game of Solitare while slowly sipping his hot chocolate and eating his bagel. As he focused on his game, memories began to flood back into his mind of when his not yet sick and dying mother taught him how to play solitaire to teach him how to plan things out. This memory slowly brought a tear to Adam's eye which rolled down his cheek some before he wiped it away.
"I miss you mama.."
After a few minutes of his solo game he had finished it along with his bagel leaving half of his beverage yet to finish. As he packed up his playing cards he noticed the woman in fishnets looking at him while messing with some type of cards of her own. Adam blushed a small quick blush at her beauty and quickly looked around to see if she was looking at anyone else instead of him, she was defiantly looking at him. For some reason, Adam had the urge to go find out why that he couldn't ignore. He grabbed his backpack from his chair, picked up his hot chocolate and walked over to the woman's table and put his bag on the back of the chair opposite hers and then looked at her after looking her over quickly.
"Is there something I can do for you miss? I noticed you staring at me while messing with your cards. My names Adam Jackson. Mind if I sit down?"
Adam then sat and looked at the cards that the woman had with her. They had Various objects on them which made Adam's eyebrow raise. Adam studied the cards for a moment while sipping his close to empty hot chocolate.
"If you don't mind me asking, what type of cards are these? I have never seen them before and cards are kind of a special item to me. What are they for? Are you some kind of magician for kids parties? Like with smoke and mirrors and all that stuff? I never bought into magic, it's all fake if ya ask me."
Adam wasn't a believer, he trusted that everything could be explained by science. He trusted in things he could touch or see. Adam never had the luxury of being able to Believe in magic not even as a little kid because he had to take care of his mother. For some reason however these cards and the woman they belonged to peaked his curiosity.
"What do the symbols mean?"

Zatanna was deep in thought about the meaning of these cards when the boy walked up. Looking up from where she was sitting she smiled when the boy sat down. "My name is Zatanna Zatara! I am the great Magician of Gotham." The woman was confident in her ways and she was confident in herself. The raven haired woman noticed how the boy was interested in the cards and she smiled even wider. "These are Tarot cards. They help predict the future. this set was based on you. Its not that i ment any harm, I was just doing this harmlessly, although im very glad you came to talk with me. It seems you have a very hard future ahead of you. Might we speak about it?"
The woman hoped he would stay and talk with her. after all she was very talented and everyone knew that. The first card she pulled out showed a man standing with a wand in his hand and another to his side sitting on a table. This was one of the good cards that she had drawn. The second card was the four of cups, this one had a man sitting under a tree looking board and unpleased with the three cups that sit before him. Yet to the side of the man a cloud with a hand held out a cup to the man. This was a card that could be taken both ways of good and bad. The last card was the third card, a card no one ever wanted to get. It was a card that zatanna really worried about. this card had a hart on it with three swords stabbed though. yet now that the boy was actually standing infrount of her she pulled out a last card. This was not usually the way of card readings but something told the woman to do it. the card was the tarot card called the Star. This baught tears to Zatanna's eyes. It was this card that would change the boys luck around. This card was the best card zatanna could share with this boy. This card had a star on it with a naked woman giving the water more liquids. Lightly Zatanna layed it on the table next to the third card. "Please you must let me share, please tell me your name."

Adam couldn't stop himself from studying the cards that she had put out in front him. He slowly studied them unsure of what they were supposed to mean though the one with the heart being stabbed by the three swords did make him nervous. He then blushed when she put down the card with the naked woman on it. Adam raised an eyebrow when Zatana began to cry a bit. He couldn't say he believed in magic but the woman was being sweet to him and taking an interest which was rare in Adam's life. He just smiled at her and leaned forward and wiped the tear out of her eye and smiled warmly at her deciding that he owed her his time. He leaned back in his chair and just nodded at her.
"It is very nice to meet you Zatanna Zatara. My name is Adam Jackson. I would very much like to hear about my future from you and what the cards mean. You have my full attention. You said I have a very hard future ahead of me which I believe. I have a very..complicated after school job which can be taxing sometimes. My background hasn't been the easiest or happiest ether. I..lost my childhood home do to..a fire. My mother died when i was young do to brain cancer..and my father left us when i was born..and he found something out about me. I have been working very hard all my life..you might say..fighting to change the cards fate dealt me."
Adam then just locked his eyes on the three swords card making his eyes grow sad for a moment. He then looked at the card with the naked woman on it and smiled a small smile. He then looked at Zatana's beautiful warm face and just got lost in thought for a moment about what he wanted most in a woman. He then straightened up in his chair and finished off his drink.
If i had to describe..what I want most in a woman..I would want someone Mysterious,complex, someone who knows pain like I have. I want someone who will love me when I don't love myself. Someone who challenges me but will stand by me. Someone..and this might sound weird..but someone truly magical in a manner of speaking"
Adam just kept looking at the cards and sighed hoping that his future ended up being a good one in the end. He just tried to keep a smile.
"I think I am ready to know what the future holds in store for me."
(Occ:sorry it's kinda short, and if ya couldn't guess, the woman he is describing is raven :3)

Zatanna smiled, the name Adam, she had herd it before but maybe it was just that she herd it at a kids party or something. Anywho Zatanna pointed to the card with cups on it. "This is the Four of Cups, It means that you will become displeased with something. Something that you do everyday." Zatanna looked at him with that look of knowing, like she knew about his other night time job, and spoke again. "Your going to get irritated with it. causing you to want to change it." The raven haired woman than looked at the next card and again spoke up. "This is the two of wands card. This card means shows that the wands are passions, and you have to make a choice on which to pick, meaning that you have to make a choice later on that will make a great impact on your life."
The woman than looked at the card of three swords. Her face was no longer a bit amused, now it was just emotionless. Zatanna didnt like this card, It wasnt a good one, nor was it a bad one. It was a card that could go both ways. "This is a card, sad to say, that no one hopes to get. This is the Three of Swords card. It means that their is a secret someone is keeping from you. This secret will be a bad secret. A secret that you dont want to here. The words will be painful, but dont worry, they will not come out of the blue, you will know they are coming before they do." Zatanna felt bad for the boy, the last time she told a young woman about this card the man she had been in love with was dating her sister and the girl found out and was told that she was a horrid lover, and that no man would ever love her.
Zatanna looked up at the boy than smiled. "Don't fear the future though my friend, this last card will make you great. This last card will make you the person you want to be. This card is the card you want to change what fate has dealt you." The woman pointed to the last card laying on the table. Lightly she picked it up and handed it to the boy. "This is the Star card. It is a card that everyone wants to get. It does not predict power, or change, but it predicts Hope, Healing, even unexpected help to offer you sustenance in bleak times. Meaning that their is help out their for you. During your down times in your life, your friends, your lovers, your family, even strangers will aid you, help you, offer to bare your burdens with you. That you will never have to walk alone." Zatanna smiled at the boy. "Your future is full of people. and so when ever you feel down, or feel like giving up i want you to look at that card and remember. your not alone, and you never will be."
