Zatanna almost immediately collapsed onto the ground, letting out the breath she hadn't realized she'd been holding as she sat back, arms supporting the majority of her weight behind her. She coughed twice--probably just the smoke--before laying down fully on her back, arms lifted slightly over her head to expand her lungs and help her regain some oxygen.

"Let's...not do that again anytime soon," she called out as she closed her eyes. Enjoying the feeling of the cool wind blowing against her face.
