Whether she realizes how transparent she's being or not, Alcide's got it right on the nose when he realizes that she's missing the people even more than the place where she belongs. More over, she misses feeling like her whole self. Zatanna never realized how much of a part of her that the magic had become, because now she feels incomplete without it. Even when she doesn't use it, it's still a part of her and can be conjured with the right words and focus. Now, that's gone, and it feels like a little part of her died on the inside.

But Alcide's suggesting that they stick together because they're alone in this place, without anyone from home to back them up and Zee looks up at him with a little smile. Fondness and hope mix together in that smile; in her eyes. "I'd like that," she admits. It'll be nice to know that she's not completely alone, anymore. "You don't have to be a superhero to have someone's back," she adds with a knowing look. You just have to care enough to help someone else out. She doesn't say that, but it's implied in the look.

A little smirk plays at the corners of her mouth at his comment and she nods. "That's one way of putting it," she says with amusement. "Some people just want to do really bad things to further their own power. It's always about power, I swear."

She pauses for a moment in speaking while they continue walking before she finally looks up at him with a curious look on her face. "...so what part of you is missing?" she asks. "They took my magic. What'd they take from you?"
