Prologue
( "You think I'm one of those fake illusionists? Get a grip." )
✧ ─ ✧ ─ ✧ ─ ✧
FOR MANY PEOPLE, Magicwas a strange concept that majority refused to believe in and in short did not understand. Some believed it was simply an illusion, like a street magician using a sleight of hand to make a card appear or disappear.
Some people, however, knew the truth. They knew magic was as real as the ground they walked on, except it could only be performed by a limited few — the limited few being either genetically enhanced or from another dimension.
Zatanna Zatara fell into the latter of the few.
When her home realm, the planet Earth of the Homo Magi, was destroyed and made a wasteland by outside invaders, she found refuge on Prime Earth. This Earth was much like her own, only the people were not magical, nor did they know anything about the art, other than an illusionist using mere tricks to entertain an audience.
With time, this earth became what she called home. It was only because her father, the late Giovanni Zatara, had been a hero that travelled across dimensions and helped people in need, that she was able to find a home on Earth. For that same reason, Nick Fury accepted the young girl and gave her a home at S.H.I️.E.L.D.
For years, Zatanna trained using her magical abilities and created a name for herself for the people of Earth like her father had done so many years ago. She became a hero and carried on with her father's legacy.
Zatanna cherished her magic, since it was the last connection she had to her people. Magic coursed through her veins just like the red blood that allowed her to live. To her, magic was an extension of her very soul and mind. She was grateful that Nick Fury had taken her in and trained her to the fullest extent of her abilities. Because of him, she had a home again.
Eventually, Zatanna Zatara became an Avenger. Granted the title of the greatest sorceress alive, she was also one of the greatest heroes the world had known, right next to heroes like Captain America and Black Widow (her very dear friends).
When the Avengers band together once more to stop a peace-keeping program from destroying the world, Zatanna is pushed to the limit and ends up meeting someone she never unexpected to encounter... or in other words, someone she never saw coming.
