Elaborate Planning?
Precognition?
Psychometry?
Bow before your unimaginably powerful overlord!

Wait a minute, I'm currently too busy holding a cork in mid air for petty groveling.

Jazz was really good at playing poker. Like, scary, almost-precognitive good. But, whenever she played this particular group of husters, they always beat her. BAD. Jazz would soon find out why. After their latest game, Jazz overheard their conversation, and hears that Mikey was using a telepath to help them CHEAT!

The telepath stood in the opposite corner, telepathically suggesting himself invisible, so he could watch her play her hand the whole time and signal it to Mikey. So this time, Jazz decided to bring her own secret weapon. Her friend, Missy, was incredible at Poker, even against cheating telepaths. With her power of Unpredictability, she had leveled the playing field, with no need for Jazz to even interfere or cheat like the others.

"So, you cheated, by keepin' us from cheatin?" Johnny spoke up, putting his pocket knife away.

"Mmm...yeah, basically." Jazz and Missy said in unison.

"Whoa, freaky."

When the hustlers heard this explanation, their leader Mikey admired their cunning so greatly that he invited them to join their crew.

(-_-) And I thought we were clear about the "only one superpower involved" rule. That's why I rejected the possibility of her having this power. I just couldn't see how it would help in a game played in regular conditions. So, basically the third-party guy wasn't directly helping Missy cheat at all, nor was he sending body messages to her...

One power.If you include a character with a different one and don't mention it then the situation becomes too complicated because we only have knowledge of ONE character who has a power.

 Just erase this riddle. Seriously. I cannot think of one right now. I tried to, but it didn't work.

Billy has a LOT of jobs. Sometimes, he works as a construction worker and has to be up really high to work on new buildings. Sometimes he works in the town's mine network, where he has to deal with potential breathing hazards, and the risk of tunnel collapse. He eve takes up odd jobs in plumbing and electrical work. Most dangerous of all, however, is his job as a professional stuntman. Yet he loves the excitement they provide and is always prepared, despite never having trained for any of them a day in his life. How is all of this possible???

 I hope this makes up for the previous gaffe.

Does it give him time to be prepared?
Instant learning?
Does it take his eagerness/excitement to help him?
Does it give him information for the job?
Does it give him skills?
Does he channel anything?
Is it one of yours?
Does it protect him from harm?
Is it a form of adaptability?
