DC TITANS x (Roth)reader

Season 1: Episode 1

~ Third pov

It fades to black. As it becomes slightly brighter, three small, dirty circus tents can be seen surrounded by dark fog. There are string lights and two large glowing arrows that are flickering on and off. They are pointed at the centre tent. A hooded figure wearing gladiator boots is walking towards the tent. 

There is very faint circus music and the sound of crickets. The music gets louder as the figure gets closer to the tents. Cut to inside the tent. The room is blurry, but the same dirty striped pattern is inside the tents, and the room is lit by old lights that are flickering and buzzing. 

Rachel Roth into the room cautiously. She appears to be young and very pale. Alongside her is Y/N Roth dressed in a graphic t-shirt and black jeans paired with black high top converse.

Their hands running along the narrow walls. An elephant can be heard trumpeting, and then another animal roaring as Rachel and Y/N reach an opening at the end of the tents. 

The music begins to climax as they continue down the passage. As they swiftly open the final curtains the music abruptly stops. They look around at an empty room. There are leaves swirling to the ground. 

"Hello,?" Rachel and Y/N say but no one is around.

A circus ring can be seen on the ground. There is debris everywhere.

Lights flash on as large, blackbirds fly away, cawing.
a large lit sign that reads, "THE FLYING GRAYSON'S."

"Ladies and gentlemen!" The announcer says calling the attention of the crowd.

The room lit up around Rachel and Y/N.

"Boys and girls!" The announcer continues.

An animation of someone doing gymnastics scrolls across the sign along with the words. Cheering is heard.

" The Flying Graysons!" The announcer announces.

There is applause and cheering. Rachel and Y/N's face appears distorted with confusion. Moving lights are flashing gobos around the room.  A man appears he is wearing a leotard with a cape. He is sitting on a swing looking around the room as if he is riling up an audience. 

A boy and woman are on platforms looking around the room, holding their arms out as if to present themselves. They too are wearing leotards with capes. A sombre violin song begins. Rachel and Y/N are still confused. 

The woman holds a wooden bar and gracefully jumps off the platform. She swings as the girls continue watching the performance. The man grabs the woman's feet as she lets go of the bar, which swings to the boy. Rachel and Y/N now focus on the boy. 

The music turns ominous as the routine continues. The word "FLYING"  on the sign flickers out. The boy is swinging in slow motion towards the other performers. As they swing like him, one of the ropes holding their swing up snaps. 

They fall, as the woman tries to grasp the boy's hand, who narrowly misses her. The boy is screaming as he reaches for them. Rachel and Y/N scream as they fall toward her. She sits up in bed, across the room Y/N wakes up screaming in bed too. As they stop screaming,  the two girls begin to pant. Their mom hastily enters their bedroom.

"RACHEL, Y/N!" Melissa yells in concern.

"The circus again!" Rachel says still panting

"The boy..." Y/N says her eyes wide.

Rachel and Y/N continue to hyperventilate as Melissa tries to comfort them.

"Take a breath. Just calm down." Melissa says as she comforts her children.
