Upon the Young Justice’s journey to catching up with Lex Luthor in order to defeat the man Zatanna found herself more worried about the stone than anything else. Being labeled as [i]one[/i] of the many powerful sorceresses around, the young woman knew [i]slightly[/i] more about the blue stone than the other members were given, But truly not [i]every[/i] little detail about it. While the stone may have a simple yet delicate appearance, it was a stone not to be tampered with by the wrong hands or anyone else for that matter -of course- and she pondered in her head about what would happen if Lex had managed to get a hold of the item himself. She figured in her opinion that it would probably create some sort of unknown butterfly effect she hadn’t yet dwelled on and ran next to her fellow teammate, Nightwing in order to take in the scene which awaited them up ahead.

In simpler terms, the young sorceress simply explained that the blue stone was,”One of the most powerful artifact no villain should get their hands on”, So it wasn’t much of a surprise in her opinion to see Lex standing rather nonchalantly beside the stone before grabbing onto it slowly. That was when the surprise came--There seemed to be no damage done immediately after a regular and mundane man cradled the thing in his large hands and she heard the leader of the group speak.

“Alright Lex put down the freaky Mayan artifact and just walk away.”

Zatanna immediately looked at him. ”[color=2e3192]Oh--And you think he’s going to actually do that after getting this far himself !?[/color]” She said to the male in a hiss as the sight of Lex holding onto the stone became increasingly unsettling. She felt something very off-putting about his appearance, and more importantly about his ulterior motives over the stone. He was able to hold it without anything happening to him, but it was the unknown motive he had behind this whole scheme. Why was he suddenly after an artifact so powerful?

“[i][color=2e3192]Tsk.[/color][/i]”

That same poker/smug face as usual. It was the face which she despised most from Lex, for she knew that with that blue stone in his hand -- He would soon wreak havoc amongst the realms of sorcery and magic, possibly creating a sort of unbalance even. Again, unknown butterfly effects were soon to be made and she stood there anxiously, waiting for the leader to give an all clear in order to attack. Or even for Lex to do the first move and allow them to attack.

Then suddenly, things had happened way too quickly to comprehend on time. The stone had a sort of reaction which opened up a portal and forced Lex in. The young woman in fishnets gasped as she took a step forward. “[i][b][color=2e3192]NO![/color][/b][/i]” She shouted. Before she knew it Nightwing had been dragged into the direction of the portal by force, then Raven who had held onto their leader. Zatanna quickly outstretched an arm as she reached for Raven’s cape and began to hold onto it as tightly as she could, but the portal only began to take her teammates more forcefully than ever and before the woman knew it, they were gone. Just like that, the portal had closed and Zatanna looked behind her to see if anyone else had managed to stay back. But to her surprise, she only found impulse. Just one member it seemed, and she ran to his aid. “[color=2e3192]Hey--You alright ?[/color]” She uttered with concern before giving him a smile.

Then Zatanna heard multiple voices which belonged to unfamiliar people as she was kneeling beside Bart.

"Worst trip ever."
"Uh, Patriot? Where are we?"
"Tommy...where are we? And where's Teddy? I can't feel him anywhere."

Her eyes shifted from her current and [i]only[/i] teammate as of now, to five other people who all spoke amongst each other. They seemed familiar to one another, and to Zee’s knowledge she didn’t see these people with Young Justice here before. Better yet, she’s never even seen them anywhere. There was an archer girl, a speedster or teleporter as he appeared from one place to another.. and a young male, who had some sort of mystical aura around him. Zatanna examined the group as she clearly raised an eyebrow out of curiosity before her thoughts were snapped out of.

"Avengers assemble. V formation behind me. As for you two, We're avengers, defenders of earth. Protectors, heroes. Who are you?" 

With this current information, Zatanna gave a look of confusion that was clear. She slowly stood, keeping herself alert for any upcoming threats and tilted her head back. “[color=2e3192]Defenders of Earth?[/color]” She inquired. “[i][color=2e3192]Avengers..?[/color][/i]” the girl in fishnets repeated before shaking her head and waving her hands up in the air in order to move the subject along. The name did indeed sound like a threat, what team uses 'Avengers'!? But then again.. The man who appeared to be their 'leader' did say they were 'defenders of earth'. Zatanna placed her arms back in a crossed position across her chest and stood there for a moment. If they were truly antagonists, they would've attacked by now and never take the time to introduce themselves--Or at least the leader for that matter.. But she had never heard of such a group name in this universe.

“[color=2e3192]I’m Zatanna Zatara of Young Justice.. But I wasn’t notified of any other team aiding us.. Especially one called the ‘Avengers’.[/color]” Zee stated as she looked around again for her teammates, before looking back at Patriot and widening her eyes. [i]Wait…[/i] Zee then began to look at the emptiness behind her and the group in front of her and pointed. “[color=2e3192]There’s five of you.. And five of [i]mine[/i] are missing.[/color]” she whispered to herself halfway through her sentence. “[i][color=2e3192]Incredible..[/color][/i]” She said to herself as she held onto her head, pondering. [i]This can’t be…[/i] Were her teammates replaced somehow? Or was this all a coincidence?

Zatanna’s other outfit was back at the Headquarters, so simply conjuring up stuff was slightly impossible if she didn’t have her hat. She felt her teammates around, as [i]if[/i] they were here… But.. she didn’t feel them [i]actually[/i] here with her at the same time. It was a complex situation she was taking in and she furrowed her eyebrows in silence, thinking as she bit her lip before looking up at the group.
