Time and Magic [Closed]

[Chronos]

Andrew pulled the parking brake and turned the key. The car grumbled to a stop. He hopped out of the car and locked it nice and safe. If there was one thing these 21st century people knew, it was how to ride in style. His superiors had been gracious enough to send him back with a considerable amount of cash and seeing as this was something of a vacation, he bought himself a new wardrobe and sleek car.

He pocketed the keys and started walking down the street towards a cafe. Pleasure wasn't the only reason he was here, though he wished it was. His suit had detected trace Tachyons in the area, particles that moved backwards in time. Anything that had traveled through a temporal rift would be coated with them forever, himself included.

Andrew walked inside and sat at the cafe bar. He ordered a black coffee and waited patiently. As he waited, he lowered the cap on his head and peered around. A partial piece of his suit materialized around his eyes, and scanned the area. Through the lense, the world was a smooth black, outlined by reflections of white. Tachyons glowed blue, but none were around at the moment. He sighed and sent the suit away as his coffee arrived.

He paid and sipped. A groan left him as the piping hot flavor hit. Real coffee grind...the future might have time travel and interstellar travel, but real coffee was rarer than diamonds.

Zatanna took a breath, she wasn`t so use to not having the team around her. She`d been doing her magic shows when they weren`t to heavily packed with problems and as of late there was no time for her real life. She had a job to do with the team and nothing would change her mind, not all the money in the world, not even her beloved Nightwing. Zatanna walked down the street it felt nice, the day was only slightlyg warm but not cold enough to make her change.

Her outfit consisted of a see through gray shirt that cut off right under her breasts, it reached down to her wrist and hung off her shoulders. A teal wrap was crossed over her chest in an X formation that allowed her to push her chest up showing it off, She wore a mini skirt that was the same color as the wrap it clung to her hips and showed off her legs. Her gray leggings went up to her mid thigh to cover the exposed skin. Over that she wore a dark blue vest that flowed out into a cape like design at the bottom, the inside of the cape is a teal color much like her clothes. The top vest part wraps around her neck in a choker style to add flare and a golden ribbon ties in the front. A belt wraps around the front of her skirt around her cape golden coins wrap down, it could remind one of a belly dancer. She finished off the outfit with blue heels to match her cape vest.

Her hair was down in curls as she walked into the cafe looking around. She walked over as people started to notice her, the whispers began again, " Is that Zatanna? I wanted to see her show but she called it off! Do you think her magic is real? Shes a faker no one can do magic its a scam! She sighed and sat at the bar and ordered herself a mocha, she needed something to help her through the day.

She turned to the man who groaned as he drank his coffee." its a wonder what caffeine can do for you right? the man brought her a chocolate muffin and her mocha. She smiled and gave him her money then turned and held her hand out, I`m Zatanna. Pleasure to meet you." Zatanna wasn`t use to not having people talk about her, she`d caused quite the scandals lately and she preferred to be in the lime light. She looked around as everyone continued with there day. She sighed and placed an elbow on the table laying her head to the side, She had to stop pulling all nighters, it was becoming a pain.

He was about to take another sip of his coffee when a young woman sat next to him, ordering a coffee and food. She was quite beautiful with dark hair and a flighty outfit. Andrew looked her over and, after a moment, recognized her from the files he had memorized. She was Zatanna, very powerful, very dangerous. She was also associated with most of the current-day superheroes. She might be the way in he was looking for.

When he had arrived in the past, it shocked him to discover the disaster he had traipsed into. The Watchtower gone and most heroes missing? It was a lot more work than he was prepared for. This was going to be a long mission. Besides, he still had to find the source of the temporal disturbance and considering their files, it was better to be close to these hero-types. All sorts of strange things tended to happen around them.

"I don't often drink this stuff, but I felt like making today a special occasion." He smiled at her and took another sip of the heavenly coffee and then held out a hand. "I'm Andrew. Nice to meet the famous Zatanna. I've heard a lot about you and your magic."

"So what brings you to a public cafe?" He smiled charmingly, dark hair falling in his eyes. She was quite beautiful and he found himself feeling unusually friendly towards her.

[zatanna]

He didn`t drink coffee on a daily basis? How odd, most of the people of america drank coffee to help them stay awake, it wasn`t uncommon to meet someone who didn`t drink it but occasionally was odd for her. She took his hand in hers and shook it before smiling, her red lips parting to show off her perfect teeth and smile, it was hard to keep them looking so good when she got roughed up by the baddies. Magic did wonders.

It didn`t surprise her that he`d heard about her and the magic. Of course she used her powers in the shows and that was what made her the great magician she was, Not many knew of the superhero Zatanna it was all a show. She`d never let on that her powers where real though even if she did she`d doubt anyone would believe her, she wasn`t batman or superman or even the flash, she had her own powers and how she used them was her choice.

Andrew his name was Andrew, she`d have to look him up later. Something wasn`t quite right about the boy, he was a little to forward and it seemed as though he was examining her, how odd. She raised her eyebrow coming back from her daze, " Huh? Oh uh I come here everyday for my mocha and muffin, Its a habit. You know how work is, you stay up late and you need the extra boost." She batted her blue eyes at him, of course she was attracted to the way he looked but she never had the best of luck with men anyways.

" What about you Mr. Andrew, why are you here in a small town cafe? Shouldn`t you be at work by now, a strong man like you must do something fantastic.", he was curious to her, she`d never seen him here before and now he was drawing her interest.

[Chronos]

She wanted to know who he was? Well, that wasn't going to happen. Even mentioning time travel had grave consequences. Andrew had seen simulations where making an off-handed remark had influenced a person's decision. The cascade of events had been dramatic to say the least. Being friendly was the officially recognized method of preserving the timeline, at least the best they could come up with for their agents.

But who should he be? He stretched a bit, showing off how his genetically engineered body flexed. Muscles shifted out of the way so others could stretch. He smiled at Zatanna.

"I'm a private eye." He pulled off his cap and winked at her. "Usually anyway. Right now I'm on vacation just cruising where I please."

That should be satisfactory. Best not to extrapolate too much. "So, are you putting on a show? I don't believe I've ever had the chance to see one of yours."
