What was Zatara's first assignment (if she had one)? How did she get away from Tain?

Good question!  I’m honestly not sure what her first real assignment would have been.  She displayed an aptitude for chemistry early on and was probably still relatively young (mid-teens) when Tain started bringing her specimens home to experiment with.  He couldn’t bring actual prisoners to his home though, so eventually she would have to go to Order Headquarters if she was going to test things on real people.  She was never an official agent though.  She didn’t leave until Tain’s retirement, as the Order would have no use for her in his absence.
