Wally stood in front of the souvenir shelves. It was the quietest Zatanna had ever seen him outside of a mission. She and Robin watched from the doorway. They had been the only ones in the base when Wally had arrived and ran to the souvenir room, without as much as a hello. They had been waiting for him, and they knew his news must not be good. All three heroes stood silently for a minute until Robin thought he had better check his friend's mental status.

"Wally, did she-?"

"She's gone," replied Wally, turning slightly to face his teammates. "After you showed me her note, I ran over to her place. Her mom was home. She left last night, didn't give an address or phone number. Left her cell at the house." He had a cold, almost unfeeling expression on his face.

"Wally…" Robin started, but Wally cut him off.

"She didn't want… doesn't want me to follow her. She knows I would try if knew where she was heading." He glanced down, and then turned to face the couple completely. He held out his left hand, which had been hidden from view.

"Her mom said she left this for me." He held a green mask. "One last souvenir." He said with a bitter grin. Neither observer said anything as he slammed it down on a shelf and picked up an arrow from the shelf, clutching it so hard that his knuckles turned white.

"When the new team gets here, make sure you assign someone to souvenir duty. We can't let a collection this great go to waste. With the promotion, I won't be here too often." Wally set down the arrow and made his way out of the room. He paused a few feet away.

"Zatanna…"

"I'll let her know you got her message when I talk to her." Zatanna spoke for him, as Robin's eyes darted back and forth between the speakers.

"Right. Thanks. And tell her she can pick up her cell phone because Kid Flash isn't going to bother her anymore." Wally walked away from them, towards the kitchen, hoping to drown his sorrows in some of M'gann's leftover cookies.
