Admittedly, being sent on a mission to find a traitor is intimidating enough as it is. She's new here and she's still learning the lay of the land, but the fact of the matter is, she disagrees with almost everything the Computer considers to be treasonous. But adding to that, knowing that the person she's looking for is named Wally West makes her super uncomfortable. The thing is, it might not be him; it probably isn't Kid Flash, but the name itself is jarring enough and she's almost decided that maybe she shouldn't do this mission at all and just take the punishment for it.

In the end, she tells herself that there's no way this Wally is the Wally she knows and she's not interested in being arrested today, so she goes. She's been following security footage that's been fed to her via her PDC to pursue him and the red hair makes her wary of carrying out this mission, but she's only seen the back of his head in every shot. It's probably not him. It's almost definitely not him. It's totally a coincidence.

Zatanna is, quite honestly, a little afraid to follow him into the warehouse because all she's got on her is a RED barrel on a laser gun — he's wearing RED, too; does that mean it'll kill him? She doesn't want to kill anybody today — and absolutely no magic which...she hadn't realized until recently she used so heavily as a crutch back home.

His voice echoes a little in the big space and it's mostly dark, so she can't see him just yet, but she pushes forward anyway. He sounds like the Wally she knows, even.

It isn't him. You just miss home and your mind is playing tricks on you, she tells herself, raising the laser gun, not to use it but to at least try to look the part. "I'm just trying to do my job," she calls back. "There's legal aids and lawyers that'll help you if you really didn't do anything wrong," she points out warily, moving further into the cloak of darkness in the room. He could be anywhere given the way their voices are bouncing all over the space and the abundance of shadows. "I'm not going to hurt you." She frowns and sighs softly. This is the worst.
