The Cheshire Cat- A Daniel Atlas Fanfic

Chapter 2

                   Alice was a rather ordinary girl, despite her life being quite the opposite. You see, Alice was a part of The Eye. She had joined a few years ago and was loving every second of being a part of this huge underground organization for magicians. She still couldn't believe it was real. Luckily she had the news to rely on to remind her that it was. Rumors of a possible fifth horseman spread like wildfire; she was sure there was something about it on every news channel. That had been her that night, standing on a beam near the roof. She had orders from her boss to interfere with the new recruits and see how they would handle it. She was surprised, to say the least when her boss told her they were trying to obtain a few new members but also excited because once she went over their files she could tell she would like them. She was extremely excited about one of the new recruits "Jack Wilder" because she had met him before when she was younger.-

'She saw someone roughly her age come up and stare at her hands while she was playing with the cards, she had only been around 16 at the time, not really minding that this guy was watching her she began doing more elaborate tricks with the cards and he just stared at her slack-jawed and wide-eyed. She smiled "You wanna see some magic?" he looked up at her eyes for the first time

"uh yeah, yeah sure whatever" he tried to act cool probably pretending to not be as interested as he actually was. She rolled her eyes 'boys'.

"Okay well pick a card any card", she fanned them out to him, he grabbed a card "Got it memorized?" he nodded "okay put it back in the deck" he slide the card back into place as she said "let the show begin" one by one she started throwing cards into the sky and catching them though each time a card would fall back down it would have a blue back instead of a red one, except for the last one "huh that's weird, hold that for me," she said handing him the card and putting the rest of the deck in the box which had a hole in it and he could see that somehow all the cards were back to red.

He looked down at the card she handed him and was surprised to see in was HIS card "thanks" she said taking it back and throwing it in the air, although this time it didn't come back down "where'd it go" she asked looking around before her eyes landed on his pocket " hey who said you could take my card" she pointed to his pocket he eyed her curiously before following her line of sight and seeing that the card was indeed in his pocket. His eyes widened

" How did you-"

"magic" she cut him off with a playful glint in her eyes. She grabbed the card from his pocket and inspected it before turning it back to him and saying " is this your card?" he was so distracted by the magic he didn't even notice a crowd had gathered and was now clapping and cheering. She threw him a smile and then strode off down the street until she was out of sight, and he was left there starstruck.' -

She didn't think he would recognize her because she had matured a lot since then and her appearance looked close to nothing like her old self- but either way she was going to wear a costume and use a voice moderator so she couldn't get discovered- and that's what she did. She recounted all of her plights from last night. It had been so exciting to baffle the four horsemen and she couldn't wait until they were actually in The Eye so she could hang out with them. Her plans were cut short of course though because she had to get to work- She had some horsemen to interrogate.
