"Allright, show your card to the person next to you but don't say it out loud." A young girl with purple hair told the man, her ice blue eyes sparkling with amusement. The man did as he was told as he showed the playing card to the man next to him.

"Now we still have a deal right, kind gentlemen?" She asked to confirm.

"Yea, you guess my card correctly and I give you $20. If you don't, I get $20." He replied thinking that the dumb teen could never guess the card. This was some of the easiest money he can make.

"Good. Now think about your card, picture it in your head. Are you ready?" she asked and he nodded. Her ice blue eyes flickered up next to the man's shoulder then back at him.
"Your card is..... The 7 of spades." She declared.
The man was gobsmacked, his mouth dropped open in shock. "How the hell did you get that right?!" He exclaimed. Quickly his shock turned into anger. "You just got lucky. Double or nothing!"

"Are you sure about that sir?" She asked, a smirk tugging at the edge of her lips.

"Yes, I'm sure! You either got lucky or cheated. I'm gonna get my money back!" He declared in confident anger.

"Ok. Double or nothing it is." she agreed. "I'll even let a random person check and shuffle the deck to assure you that I am not cheating."

The man nodded and picked a random lady exiting a clothing store and asked her to check and shuffle the deck. Bewildered, the lady agreed, checked and shuffled the deck then handed the deck back to the girl.

"Thank you for your help." The girl dipped her head in thanks to the lady as she walked away then turned back to the man and asked him to pick a card from anywhere in the deck. He quickly picked a random card from somewhere in the middle of the deck. He showed it to another man who was standing next to him then quickly laid it flat in his hand to not reveal it to anyone else.

The edges of the girl's mouth curved up into a grin. "Your card is ..... The Ace of hearts."

The man threw the card to the ground in a fit of rage. When the card hit the ground, it was revealed that it was what she had called.

"You cheated! You had to!" he raged as he charged toward the young lady, fist raised. Watching bystanders gasped in horror and a few reached out to try futility to stop the raging man while the girl just stared in amusement.

When he was close enough to try to punch her, she grabbed his fist and used his momentum to toss him over her shoulder and into a trash can behind them, butt first. As the man was disoriented, she walked over and plucked his wallet out of his jacket. Opening it, she pulled out $40 and tossed the wallet on top of the groggy man then turned and gathered up her tin that was full of change and bills.

"Thank you for your contributions!" She called out to the crowd. "The name is Rogue and I hope to see you again!"

A large puff of smoke erupted and once it cleared away, everyone gasped to see that Rogue had disappeared.

As the crowd looked around in amazement, said girl snickered as she stood atop a horizontal flag pole above where she had been.

'They never seem to look up, do they Loki?' she thought as she looked next to her, a faint, see-through humanoid creature floated there. The creature gave her a smile then faded out of sight again. Rogue chuckled as she jumped to grab the ledge of the building and used it to catapult herself to the top of the building then raced across the rooftops.

Rogue whistled as she walked down the street, ignoring the looks she got from the boys.
