🌊🌊No ones pov:🌊🌊

The interior of a stable or similar enclosure. As a circus calliope plays outside, a green seal pops up into view and barks; it can only be Beast Boy. He jumps onto a nearby crate and balances a ball on his nose. It bounces up, the camera following, and when we see him again, he becomes a frog and balances it again.

Cut to two young boys outside, watching the exhibition; they are mostly bald except for small spikes of hair, and they wear pink novisor/sunglasses that hide their eyes completely. One holds an ice cream cone, and neither is too impressed by the whole spectacle.

The sound of another transformation is heard; cut to behind the two. Beast Boy's enclosure is now revealed as a large cage. He has assumed panda form to keep that ball poised just so. Close-up of him, changing into a pig, but a snowball flung in knocks him over and sends the ball flying.

Kid: You stink, pig!

Laughing and jeering, both of them start throwing now; Beast Boy pokes his head out from behind the crate, but is quickly driven to the floor. Pull back to a long shot, revealing the cage to be a circus wagon. After one last salvo, the ice cream cone is thrown in and the two kids leave. The green porker sits dejectedly as the cone melts on his head; it slides off, and he looks down and sighs.

Starfire lands on the other side of the bars to peer in. You landed crouching and lean over the edge to face the bars upside. Beast Boy returns to human form, bald on top, having gained a great deal of weight, and not wearing his belt. Defeat permeates every syllable of his voice.

Beast Boy: No way! (He moves to the bars.) It's you two. But how?

Starfire: We require your help.

Beast Boy: What kinda help?

You: The future is not as it should be and not how i imagined.

You flip off the top and beside starfire.

Starfire: We must find Warp. (warmsup her starbolts) I will free you from this--

Beast Boy: (panicked) This cage isn't to keep me in! It's to keep those maniacs out! (Starfire winds down and leans in closer.) Look. After the Titans broke up, I tried the whole solo-hero thing. Got my butt kicked, a lot. So now, well...

He turns briefly into a squawking chicken to make the point.

Beast Boy: (smiles weakly and chuckles) Besides, I'm in the showbiz now.

Her eyes tell just how false this excuse rings with her. You click your tongue in disgust at this. Crossing your arms as you look at a banner on lighted poles nearby: "The Amazing One Man Zoo-Freakish Wonder," showing a creature with the heads and body parts of many different animals.

"So this is what passes for Beast Boy's life now?" You thought .

Cut to Starfire's perspective, walking along a balcony in a broken-down building with you. At the far end, a single fluorescent tube flickers and throws its inadequate light onto a steel door. Close-up; she gets a hand to the knob and turns. The room inside is pure white, with no features of any kind visible.

You almost blend in if it wasn't for your compress shirt sleeves. In the far corner, wearing a white cloak with the hood up, a short figure stands with its back to the camera and its head bowed. This is still Starfire's point of view.

Starfire: Raven? Raven, it is Starfire and Y/N, your friends.

She moves into the room. The white-cloaked figure does not turn from the corner; the voice is Raven's, but sounding as if the past twenty years have broken her mind and body entirely.
