"This is Zatanna.

Evael a egassem."

This isn't a reaction?

Some weirdo over the network tells us we should blow the tunnels out, so they blew the tunnels out. Now we're getting strange magic vibes that even Pitch agrees are dangerous, and something tells me he's not exactly the most concerned for our well-being right now.

Don't do it, Kon. Even you're not invulnerable when it comes to magic.

This is different from being force-fed memories, Zatanna. Jonas ...

I talked to him. He has no reason to support Kite. What happens from now depends on what we do.

[Kon keeps thinking of Butterfly, how annoying the kid was and how badly he'd feel if she wound up hurt. It -- yeah. Just one more reason to take Kite's operation down.]

I am going down the tunnels. That's actually the other reason I called. I am guessing that phone reception is not going to be so hot down there.

[The concern in her voice comes through this time, uninhibited.]

Don't do it, Kon.

You're the only familiar face I have left right now.

[Oh. Ow. That is ... ]

... Come with us?

I can't.

I have things to do right now.

Things to do?

Things to do.

Fine, hint taken.

But I can't stay, Zatanna. Hanging out on the sidelines while other people go into danger is not something I am comfortable doing. I have been thinking a lot and if you're right and it is a trap ... Well, that is an even better reason that Superboy goes with.

[There is a long silence on her end. She knows she can't stop him, even though she has a very, very bad feeling about this. The kind even she wouldn't ignore.]

Be careful.

You, too.

[And although he feels like there is still a lot to say, Kon is hanging up. He is not going to be able to focus if he lets himself worry.

Well.

Worry more.]
