Treason. Of course Zatanna was being arrested for treason, and it certainly took them long enough to come for her. She's only been breaking rules since she first woke up, after all. It was really only a matter of time, especially since she'd committed the cardinal sin of being contact with Dick Grayson, Alpha's most wanted criminal.
But she wasn't going down without a fight, that was for sure, and the second she'd had the opportunity, she'd broken from the center of the formation of guards and they'd been chasing her as she ducked around a corner and into what she'd thought was a supply closet. Instead, it's the Surface and Zatanna notices immediately the sunlight, the smell of grass, and the sound of birds. A second later, she remembers she's still in that fugly ORANGE jumpsuit and she's not about to get caught if she's made it this far. She sticks out like a sore thumb right now. Reflex dictates that she use her magic, so that's the first thing she tries. Even before she finishes the spell, Emit ot yrt tuo eht wen kool, she remembers she can't do magic, but the spell rolls off her tongue in full anyway and, much to her pleasant surprise, her ORANGE jumpsuit is replaced with her favorite purple tanktop and a pair of khaki shorts.
"I am so totally whelmed right now!" she squeals excitably to herself, forgetting that it's entirely possible to be overheard and sound like a crazy person. She's too busy typing what she thinks is an encrypted message to the Specials on her PDC.

Hey Robin? Al? Prim? I don't know how...but I found the Surface. Rob, can you track my device or something and meet the others so we can get out of here?
PS, guess I really am a mutant, so ha! How do you like me now, Friend Computer?

[ She might be pushing it, but she thinks she's funny, anyway. ]
...just woke up here, huh? Did they say anything about glitches?
[ Geez, she hopes not. Maybe she's really for real out of there. ]
no subject
[ It might not have one. Or it might be the afterlife. He's not sure. ]
Not that I know of.
If your tech's buggy, I'm sure someone can look at it.
no subject
[ Because maybe he just hasn't noticed yet or maybe that's part of the whole ruse; Zee hasn't decided yet. ]
It's not, people in the Complex thought I was glitchy because I remembered my real life. It's a long story.
Thanks for your help, Stefan, I appreciate it.
no subject
That tends to happen.
After all, You poked holes in their world order.
Don't think that'll be a problem here, but yeah. We'll save the story for later.
no subject
[ She's actually really proud of that. ]
Yeah, another time. It's interesting, or at least I think so.
Anyway, thanks for your help.

[ In trouble with the law, yes. Compulsion usually wiped the slate clean. ]
I wouldn't mind hearing it once you're all settled in.
I just know, from experience, the first couple days are the roughest.
If you ever want to find me in person, I'm usually at the Interfaith Center.

[ Weirdly, it really is one of her prouder moments in life, which is especially strange considering she's one of the good guys. That went right out the window when remembering her real life became treasonous activity. Then she started pushing her luck on purpose, stealing food outside her clearance level and toeing the line with breaking curfew and roaming around restricted areas to explore. ]
If this place is as nice as it looks, I think the first couple of days will be the best because I'll be soaking it in.
Where's that?
no subject
The Interfaith Center's over at [ More GPS coordinates!! He's even included a picture of the outer building; it's quiet and unassuming, surrounded by vibrant flower beds. ] It sounds religious, but it's meant for everyone. Plus I always stock it with homemade cookies.
no subject
Cool, thanks. Is it like an open-minded church or something, or...? Oh, well, you've got me at homemade cookies. I'll so be there.
[ It certainly doesn't hurt that he's cute. He's not Robin cute, but he's definitely good looking enough to make her want to go see this place, no matter what it is. ]
no subject
You'll see when you visit. It's more of a place to pray or worship, no matter what faith you practice. Christians, Jews, Muslims, Hindus, Pagans.... Humanists.... anyone and everyone are welcome.

It's a non-theistic (AKA "non religious") philosophy that focuses on the value and agency of human life. To them, you can understand the world through science rather than placing your faith in a higher power. I don't practice it, but I can hand over guides and resources when you drop by.

[ jeez, what kind of world did she come from? ]
Great! I'm usually around whenever, so drop by when you're free.
