	April's hand felt warm in hers as she led the girl towards Agatha's tent to meet with the others. Coulson would be fine. Though it was fascinating how it happened. What other secrets was this girl holding? Either way, April was definitely not fine. Especially as the girl rambled on. She let it all come out, because the flow of thoughts was more telling than any secret admitted. Danny hadn't really spoken about April to her and she wondered why. 

	Once they got closer and April seemed exhausted from talking, [color=A2797E]"You know, you are really cute when you don't shut up."[/color] Eventually, they made their way over to where Danny and Mai were, though they appeared lost. Before Sabine could chime in that the tent was literally a hop-skip-jump away from them, Dorian came over saying the crisis, whatever the fuck it was, was over. God, this virgin. It was probably some stupid thing he panicked over and Agatha waved a hand and bippity-boppity-boo'd him upright. [color=A2797E]"Not my choice, he kind of just ran off."[/color] Sabine gave Danny a smile to assure the boy she meant no ill will. Mai and him were talking before and she didn't hear what they were saying. She would have to talk to them about that whole business before they ran off. [color=A2797E]"Well, anyway, we are here and I want my fortune told. Figure I should get first dibs due to my superior arm at the dunk tank so if you all don't mind."[/color] With that, she let go of April's hand, but not before assuring the girl was okay. Once she was satisfied, Sabine made her way toward Agatha's tent, mentally preparing herself for what would happen.

	April's face was bright red, likely from Sabine's comment about her cuteness. [color=42A9FF]"Th-thanks, you're cute too when you don't shut up - I mean when you talk - and when you don't talk - you're just very cute!"[/color] April stammered. But beyond that, she seemed more or less alright. Dorian's revelation that everything was okay - that Agatha Harkness had handled things - seemed to have calmed her down somewhat. The panic that had caused her to accidentally ruin the dunk tanks had subsided. 

	When Sabine entered the tent, she would find herself in a space far more massive than it appeared - in other words, the tent was bigger on the inside. Crystal balls, tarot cards, runes, crystals, and spell books floated through the air, seemingly obeying the whims of the sorceress sat at a small circular table. Cabinets and trunks, some of them chained and violently shaking, decorated the space haphazardly. The lighting was low, flickering candles - also moving lazily through the air - providing the main source of illumination. 

	"Miss Bassard - to what do I owe the pleasure?" Agatha asked. She wore her typical purple dress, her grey-white hair done in an updo that had once been very stylish in the Victorian era. A black panther sat by her side, regarding Sabine with interest.

	Sabine was taken aback, not so much by the woman in front of her who could have easily been Miss Victorian 1896, but rather by the panther. She had only ever seen one in a zoo and who knows how they were treated there. [color=A2797E]Cool panther! What is its name?"[/color] She was tempted to pet, but it wasn't like a house cat.

	Sabine shook it off. [color=A2797E]"I came to have my fortune read. The online message board was practically blowing up about your fortunes. It definitely grabbed my interest."[/color] Sabine took a moment to take in her surroundings. How had Agatha managed to make it seem so big? Then Sabine remembered she was literally going to a school for superheroes. Anything flew here. She waited to see if Agatha would be willing to see her. She didn't want to make this trek for no results.

	"Ah, her name is Ebony," Agatha said, her voice tinged with a clear sense of pride. She stroked the panther's head as one might a cat. "You can pet her, if you like - she won't bite... unless I say otherwise." Agatha smirked. She did have fun toying somewhat with students. It was hard not to, when you lived to be her age. "I should hope the young ones are saying only good things about my fortunes, hmm?" 

	"Today, I am reading tarot cards. You can ask a specific question, or I can do a general reading. Do note that these cards will ultimately be a reflection of who you are - you cannot hide from them, no matter how much you try." 


	Sabine wasn't going to look a gift horse in the mouth. She walked over and pet the panther, being sure to get under her chin and not rub her the wrong way that annoys cats. [color=A2797E]"So is so precious!"[/color] Sabine took a few more pets before she left the beautiful creature to her own devices, facing Agatha again.

	Fortune telling was something she knew the basics about. In France, it wasn't as common to see fortune tellers roam the streets like they did in the past. Modern age made their gifts more capitalistic. Agatha didn't seem like that type. [color=A2797E]"All right, I'm game. I am fine with a general reading and accept my fate."[/color] Did she though? Sabine knew who she was ultimately, but even she kept secrets from herself.

	One thing for sure, she was glad she was in this tent alone.

	Ebony was quite taken with Sabine - so much so, that when she stopped petting her, Ebony transformed into a small black house cat and leapt up into Sabine's lap, purring and clearly demanding that she continue with the pets. "Ebony seems taken with you," Agatha mused, as the tarot cards up in the air began to swirl, shuffling themselves in a maddening storm. It was almost like a dance, the cards going in random directions, until finally three cards plucked themselves out, landing on the table in front of Sabine and Agatha. It was a simple past, present, future spread - [url=https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/813132925003497512/1081417283928334336/IMG_6458.jpg]the Hanged One, the Wheel of Fortune Reversed, the Tower Reversed[/url]. Agatha's eyes narrowed ever so slightly, seeing so many major arcana pop up in this one draw. 

	"Great forces are at work in your life, young one," Agatha began. She did not say good or bad - merely great. "In your past, I see the Hanged One. This card deals with surrender and new perspective - a sudden change in you, but one that is beneficial. Was there a time in your life where you were forced to make such a choice, Miss Bassard - to let go and redefine yourself?" Agatha asked, although Sabine would have the feeling that Agatha already knew the answer. "Then, your present - the Wheel of Fortune Reversed. Take this card as a warning. There are perilous forces at work in your life, a cycle that must be broken, another change you must make in yourself. If you do not do this, there will be disaster and untold pain and suffering..." she paused, letting this sink in. 

	"In your future then, we have the Tower Reversed. This is another card of transformation, but also speaks of an averted disaster. All of these cards are part of the major arcana, spiritual forces that govern your life. The cards are urging you to examine yourself deeply Sabine, to make a needed change, or you will see yourself consumed by darkness." 

	Agatha paused again, another card floating down - [url=https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/1325/0879/files/03-three-of-swords-rider-waite-tarot_large.jpg?v=1490370166]the Three of Swords[/url]. Agatha's face darkened. "I drew this card for you as an extra one, for advice on what change is needed... This is a card of pain and heartbreak, of necessary grief and sorrow. Pain will shape you, Miss Bassard. For better... or for worse."  

	Sabine continued to pet Ebony as Agatha read her fortune. Sabine didn't know what to expect, but she certainly didn't expect her results. As Adatha spoke about change and her past, Sabine regarded her family, her upbringing. The other two were warnings, in a sense. Change herself or be consumed. Sabine had the urge to call bullshit, but she also knew Agatha, or at least her reputation. This was not a woman who read fortunes for kicks. If the cards were true.....

	The Three of Swords. An extra card for her. One that said Sabine would have to face pain. What pain? Unsure. [color=A2797E]"Wow, I can see why the others were flooding the message boards. That's a doozy of a fortune."[/color] As calm as she could be, she knew she couldn't muster the concern she was having and the fight in her mind. What pain? What was she expected to endure?

	[color=A2797E]"Thanks, I suppose. At least knowing what might be coming gives me a chance to be prepared for it. Do...do you mind if I sit for a minute and pet Ebony before I head back out there?"[/color] Sabine continued to stroke the cat/panther in her lap, letting the softness of her fur calm Sabine down some. She didn't want to go back out there and look like she got kicked in the gut with a steel-toed boot. 

	"Of course, dear," Agatha said. "While I am the one reading these fortunes... I would not be too afraid of the future. Destiny has a funny way of finding us all in the end," Agatha counseled. "Take the warning, but then let go. Do not allow yourself to be consumed by the cards or you may find yourself undone." She then studied Sabine for a moment, before snapping her fingers and a Yankees baseball cap appeared in her hands. "I acquired this artifact from a friend of mine - a writer. I would like to gift it to you, Sabine. When you wear it, you will become completely invisible... I hope it will serve you well." 

	Sabine took the hat. It had to be a Yankees hat? Well, if it was true, no one would see her wearing it anyway. She got up, allowing Ebony to hop off. She waved at Agatha before heading out of the tent to the others. [color=A2797E]"Well, that was fascinating. What a future to look forward to. And look! I got a cool hat out of it. Who's next?"[/color] She glanced at April before turning to Danny and Mei. And Dorian, she supposed.
