[It's pretty easy to spot the differences. The apartment Zatanna shares with Artemis suddenly goes from full to half-empty overnight. Everything, from clothing to weaponry to the tools she'd left in a pile on the table are just gone.
She's heard about it happening before. But like they say, hearing about it and going through it? Two completely different things.
Zatanna tries to find her: message over the journal, a locator spell she's been working on, just walking around and looking around the village. Things don't get any better, however. It's even worse by mid-day, when Zatanna pulls out her journal again.]
Uh, hey. [Zatanna's trying to smile--or rather, she's trying not to cry. There's a reason she's not using video for this, but all that emotion is still pretty evident in her voice.] I know some of you know Artemis and Static. They went home, but it's a good thing. They've got to help save the world and all. Teenage superheroes. The job's never done, right?
[She hesitates, wondering if she should say anything else. In the end though, there's only more silence before she closes the journal. She's going to answer the people who reply, eventually. For now, with the book set aside, Zatanna draws her knees up to her chest and just hides. She probably won't be that hard to find if people know where to look: the rooftop of Community Housing 5. But since she's alone--really alone--she lets some of those tears fall. She just can't keep it in anymore.]

She was one of his friends and now she was gone. Damn it. He just wants to ask Zatanna to make sure that Artemis was still around. The thought instantly becomes stupid because of course, if these two were such close friends either of them would continue to look for the other until it was fruitless.
He wants to cry himself, but doing so would just be a selfish act right now. Right now, Zatanna probably needed the comfort.
Going on voice he makes his voice even:]
Zatanna...? Do you need anything right now?

What about you? I know you and Artemis were friends.

Can't say I'm doing cartwheels over the fact, but, I'll be fine. You've got a point I can't really argue with. Young heroes gotta save the day and all. Can't just leave it to the adults, am I right?
Re: voice; filtered 99%
I don't know about Static, but Artemis is going to be saving the adults. The whole Justice League got brainwashed by this group of supervillians back home.
Re: voice; filtered 99%
Of course the adults get brainwashed. Well, with Artemis on the case that shouldn't be to hard. Plus, with that entire team of hers it should be cinch.

[From Vandal Savage, anyway. Zatanna gets quiet then with the reminder that there’s one hero she hadn’t been able to rescue.]

[He can only laugh in spite of it all. At least he feels like he actually helped a bit.]
Still not like them to follow the rules or anything. Maybe we need to figure out how to pump the Christmas spirit into them.

[But Cross manages to laugh, and that’s good. Sounds like they might both be feeling a little better.]

[A chuckle from his end as he thinks about it.]
Thankfully, we won't have to worry about that here.
