Animal I have become

A small, green bird flew over the city, overseeing the area while holding a communicator in a bag he had

"Nothing like a stroll around the city, wouldn't you say so, babe?"

The bird talked to the other person in the call

"If you say so, just don't get too caught up in loafing around. Robin wants to discuss something with us"

Answered a cold, almost robotic voice that somehow kept some sort of charm to it. This was the voice of Rachel Roth, also known as Raven

"You got it, mama!"

And talking to her was her boyfriend, Garfield Logan, AKA Beast Boy

A chuckle came from the girl as a result of his cheerful attitude

"Enjoy your stroll, Gar"

The call ended and the "bird" continued its trip around the city, looking from the cloudy skies and wandering all over the place

For Garfield, there was nothing like flying around the city. The clouds, getting to watch people's everyday lives, and especially, the sensation of freedom that he had while doing so

Having the ability to transform into any animal had more advantages than downsides. This was definitely one of the best parts

However, as much of an animal that he can become, his heart and soul remain that of a pure man. One that would come to the aid of anyone who needed it

Garfield was a free spirit, but above all, he was a hero

So when he heard the distinct sound of sorrow about fifteen minutes in, he stopped in his tracks to help that person

His heightened senses led him to a somewhat empty part of the city, not too far from his initial location

Reaching the floor, Garfield found himself in the middle of an empty street, and in the corner, was a small girl, crying her heart out

Garfield: What's wrong, little sister?

She was facing away from him, on her knees as if she were unable to stand. When he got no response, the teenage hero decided to talk again

Garfield: I'm Beast Boy, a Teen Titan. I can help you with whatever's troubling you

He then took the form of a small, friendly dog to approach her

The girl's sorrow met no end, unfortunately. She hadn't even looked at him since he got there

Garfield: Maybe if we-

Just inches away from her, the hero's advances were abruptly cut by the interruption of a red cloud of dust being blown at him

This unknown mist forced him to stand back and even revert to his human form while coughing aggressively. Whatever this was, it stung him, he could even feel his entire body aching

When he looked again at the girl, however, nobody was there

Garfield: W-what the-

The coughing got worse before he could even get the chance to finish his idea.

Weakened by this, the young hero fell to his knees. His eyes got heavy as the rest of his body burnt through his systems without actually being on fire

And just like that, everything turned dark, no image to be seen, no sound to be heard

Nothing
