The screen stays black as knocking is heard. Cyborg's lines are spoken at low volume until noted otherwise.

Cyborg: (voice over) Yo, Robin! Dwarf! Wake up! It's me!

A vertical shaft of light appears and widens: a door is opening, and Cyborg stands in the light outside the two leaders' darkened room. One of the Titans' leader yawns expansively, having been shaken out of a sound sleep, and takes a second or two to put his brain in gear.

You were upside down sleeping, your arms crossed before you were woken quickly at cyborg's voice. Your pink eyes blazing around the dark room.

You: Cy-Cy?

Robin: Cyborg? It's late. And I don't think we're supposed to be out of our--

Cyborg: Can't sleep.

He raises his forearm, which shows a panel flashing 'BUSY' in big red letters and emits a telephone busy signal. About two words into the next line, a shot of the domed chamber slides down from above; at this point, the narration switches to voice over. Cyborg is here, in "Super Deformed" style, and as the line continues, he brings up a phone keypad on his forearm and punches in a number.

Cyborg: I tried calling home to make sure Beast Boy's okay...

The left side of his head flips open, taking with it the frame that runs along the jawline. Out pop a circuit board and small satellite dish, while a panel at his right temple opens; he pulls a wire from this and connects it to the board. The dish comes to life and puts out a signal; dissolve to a shot of a radio tower.

The transmission hits it and is redirected over the ocean, the camera panning to follow it past world landmarks: the Sphinx, the El Castillo pyramid at Chichen Itza in Mexico, Mount Rushmore, the Statue of Liberty, until it reaches the Tower.

Dissolve to a close-up of the upper stories and zoom in on the operations center window, through which Starfire and Raven can be seen. A red phone, with the Titans' insignia in place of a rotary dial, sits on the coffee table under Starfire's very worried eye. Raven, meanwhile, sits off to one side and does a bit of knitting.

Cyborg: (voice over) ...but I can't get a signal through.

During this line, the transmission flashes into view but is blocked before it can reach the phone. Back to you, Robin and Cyborg. You were now on the ground floor.

Robin: We're in an alternate dimension, kind of outside your calling plan.

Cyborg: Um...

You: (smiles and pat's cyborg's arm) I'm sure he's fine. The Master said all the losers were sent home, safe and sound.

Cyborg: (smiles at your comfort) Yeah, I know. (Frowns) But I've just got a bad feeling. There's something weird about this game.

Robin: (steps into the hall) I guess it couldn't hurt to have a look around.

After a few steps, he stops and his eyebrows go up as far as they can. You raised a brow, placing a hand on your hip.

Robin: (suspiciously) Hold on.

His head rotates 180 degrees, reminiscent of The Exorcist, on the next line.

Robin: I know what you're doing.

A red question mark appears in Cyborg's head circuits, with his eye implant forming its point, and his voice returns to normal volume.

Cyborg: What am I doing?

Robin: You're trying to trick me again, like you did in the card game.

Cyborg: I am?
You: He is?

A word balloon appears between the three Titans, leading back to Robin's mouth as he explains his plan to do the second round. It shows him as Sherlock Holmes, you as Irene Alder, and Cyborg as Dr. Watson; they follow a trail of footprints in front of a city skyline at night.
