[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.]

Sounds like a challenge.

[And a challenge is a really good way to take Zatanna's mind off of things.]

Hey, I always love a good challenge, but there's no way I'll lose.

You do know I put Robin in a tutu the first time I talked to him, right?

[You're going down, Jason.]

I bet he deserved it. But I don't mind showing a little skin, though. I think those tights have him spoiled.

Oh, he absolutely did. [That goes without saying, although Zatanna’s interest is definitely piqued when Jason brushes off the thought.] Maybe they do. But we’re talking about you right now, yeah? So if you don’t mind showing off skin, I guess I’ll have to come up with something more creative.

Yep, sure will. But you're a pretty creative gal, right? You've gotta be. So I'm sure you won't have that much trouble.

Maybe. Something tells me you’re not a guy who gets flustered easily. Like the fact that I've known you for more than five minutes.

Then I'd say you're a pretty good judge of character, Zee. Not that I'm all that hard to figure out.

You kind of aren’t. [Although that isn’t a bad thing. In a lot of ways Jason is more Robin-like than Robin himself; at the very least, his humor and his attitude better matches the Robin from Zatanna’s world.

But that’s dangerous thinking for her right now, so Zatanna quickly changes course after she swallow back a small lump in her throat.]

Guess you better keep your guard up. The best magic tricks are all about timing.

Well, I do love a good surprise. Gimme your best shot, okay?

Promise.

[Especially since he’s helped her feel better. But there are other responses she needs to address.]

I should probably answer some of these other people. But thanks a lot, Jason. Really.

[There's a smile in his voice, sympathetic and understanding.]

Just take it easy, Zee. We've got your back.
