Grabbing Location of Actor from another Actor

Hey I was wondering how to achieve this. I have seen the other discussions but I still don't seem to be understanding the concept right. What I want to do is in an actor class Ball, get the y co ordinate of an Actor class called Zone and compare it to the Balls y coordinate.

If the ball is in a zone (intersecting a Zone object) then: 
Actor zone = getOneIntersectingObject(Zone.class);
'zone' will either be 'null' (if the ball was not in a Zone object) or will contain the Zone object that the ball is in. From there you can use 'zone.getX()', 'zone.getY()', ... any Actor class method on the Zone object (provided that 'zone' is not 'null').

This is not what I wanted. The Ball and Zone classes will not be intersecting. They will be floating alongside each other.
