The afternoon sun bathed Jump City in a warm glow, its streets alive with energy. For once, there were no alarms, no villains—just peace. Beast Boy strolled downtown in a green hoodie, a T-shirt with a roaring lion cartoon, and cargo shorts. Robin had given the team a rare day off, citing Jump City’s record-low crime streak as an opportunity for everyone to recharge. Though Beast Boy usually preferred venturing out with Cyborg or occasionally dragging Raven into his escapades, today was different. Robin’s explicit “green light” for some solo exploring felt like a rare treasure. It was a chance for Beast Boy to see the city not just as a protector, but as a curious kid ready to soak in its energy. The city was a symphony of life—food trucks lined sidewalks, musicians played on street corners, and kids laughed in the park. Beast Boy paused to admire a mural of the Titans, his figure mid-transformation into a tiger. It made him grin. Stopping for a green snow cone, he wandered further, noticing details he’d usually miss: intricate building carvings, the clatter of skateboard wheels, and the golden shimmer of the bay in the distance. Plopping down on a bench overlooking the water, he leaned back and sighed, “Man, this city’s awesome when you actually take a minute to look.” The peace felt almost too good to be true. Somewhere, the city’s shadows might hold danger, but for now, Beast Boy let himself enjoy the calm, the rare chance to see the world he protects from a new perspective.
