"Cole… you have superpowers, don't you?"

I backed up against the wall. Spyke pinned me to the wall and glared at me mysteriously. I wriggled against her grip, but knew that I was hopeless.

"Well? Answer me!" Spyke screamed. Anger management…

Wait just one second… I do have powers! Powers that will let me escape Spyke after all. I know one animal she wouldn't dare touch unless she was holding a spork.

"Cole…" Spyke started but was shockingly interrupted. She was now pinning a squirrel to the wall. "SQUIRREL! AHH!" She screamed so loud that Thorn, Bast, Maylan, and Krys came to see what was going on. Within seconds, Spyke released me and I was able to make my swift escape.

"Spyke? Spyke, what's the matter? We heard a scream!" Maylan questioned.

"Cole…she…then…squirrel…spork not in hand…" Spyke said, not making any sense whatsoever.

"…Huh?" Bast asked, scratching his head.

Spyke growled. "COLE RAN AWAY!"

"Fuck! Dude, we have to go after her!" Thorn said.

"What do you mean 'we'?" Krys said uncertainly.

Dead silence.

"'We' as in you and Bast!"

"What?" Krys and Bast shouted in unison.

"Just go!" Maylan said impatiently.

"No way!" Bast crossed his arms.

"You're naîve!" Krys said, sticking her tongue out.

"Don't piss me off," Spyke said warningly. "I'm running out of places to hide the bodies."

"Right…" Bast swallowed. He liked Spyke and didn't really want to piss her off now.

"We'll just be going now, thank you."

Krys and Bast were walking down a trail a longways from their house, looking for Cole.

"Cole!" shouted Krys for the millionth time. "Cole, get your sorry butt back here!" Krys stopped and turned to Bast. "Where do you think she could have gone?"

Bast looked at Krys with a face that clearly said 'I am very, very, VERY annoyed.' Krys backed away a little bit.

"I don't know…" Bast looked deep in thought.

'Wow, Bast thinking… that's a big leap for him!' Krys started walking again, "Let's think back. Where did she say she wanted to go the most?"

Krys and Bast suddenly stopped, with big smiles on their faces as if they solved a mystery. They looked at each other, grinning. "Jump City!" They said together in unison.

As soon as I realized I was far enough from home, I changed back into a human.

Things weren't as easy as I thought they would be. I was hoping to live my life without anyone knowing I was a shape shifter. Guess that didn't work out, huh?

I fixed my brown-shoulder length hair. Being a shape shifter wasn't all that easy. I mean, sure you get to become any animal you want, but side effects include: messy hair, extreme headache, sore legs and arms, sore back, bruised arms and legs, scratches, bumps, amnesia, and cramps (like they always say, wait an hour before you swim). Other than that, everything's great. Except when your friends find out what you can do and they try to kill you. That's not so great.

My name is Cole. I will not tell you my last name because I don't have one. I live with my friends and so we all got rid of our last names for our protection. Why? Spyke has a weird imagination that the government is after people with special powers. Which is absolutely crazy, believe me. I mean, did you hear about the Teen Titans? They have special powers, so why isn't the government after them? Well almost all of them have special powers. Starfire, Raven, and Beast Boy have the powers. Cyborg's just a robot and Robin is just talented. Speaking of the Teen Titans…

No. I don't trust you. You might tell Krys and Bast where I'm off to and then they'll probably hold me captive at home.

You won't tell?

You promise?

Are you sure?

Well ok. I suppose I can share my story with you. I mean, it's not like you'll break my promise because if you do, I swear to God that you will not be able to finish this story alive.

In that case, I'll have to tell you a bit about myself. I have brown-shoulder length hair and stunning gray eyes. My height is 5'5"and my weight is my own business, thank you. You might say I'm a rebel in a way, but I'm actually not. I just dress and look like one.

I think I gave away too much information. Sorry about that. I talk too much.

Now where were we?

I was deep in a forest that lead to Jump City. I knew where I was headed to. Titans Tower. Yea, that's right. I want to be a Teen Titan. Got a problem with that?

I just think that I can actually have a good reason to use these powers. For fighting justice! For some strange reason, I have a bad feeling about it. It's like I want to cross over to the dark side. Like Anakin Skywalker had done…you know…Star Wars…ahem.

Anyway, I'm quite anxious to meet the gang. Beast Boy sounds like a real jackass…in a good way! Starfire sounds like a prep. Raven dresses like a Goth. Cyborg looks unreal, in a way. And Robin…he's seems too hard on himself and his team. He works too hard and doesn't even look like he takes a break.

Well, here I go again. Blabbering on again. I tend to do that a lot. Sorry.

I continued to walk down the bare path. I thought I saw a critter scatter by. I hope it wasn't a squirrel. I despise squirrels. Don't even ask.

It was a beautiful day. A cloudless sky. Great. I wasn't hoping for rain or snow on a day like this. I already ran away from home, what more could possibly ruin my day?

Nothing. Yeah, that's it. Nothing. Besides the fact that I ran away from home because Spyke knew about my powers, I couldn't stand Bast staring googly-eyed at Spyke all the freakin' time! I mean, what does she have that I don't? Besides artistic skills and obsession for Anime. I'm not saying Spyke's ugly. No way. I'm just curious, that's all.

My thoughts were interrupted when I came crashing to the ground. Damn. I'm uncoordinated. It's obvious.

I heard chuckles. Not normal chuckles. Squirrel-like chuckles. SQUIRREL!

I looked around me and spotted a green squirrel. I knew it was a…GREEN SQUIRREL? What the hell?

"Die, squirrel, die." I mumbled. The squirrel chuckled a bit more, which made me annoyed. What's up with this little evil guy? And why the hell is he green? "Listen you fuckin' squirrel. Shut up before I bite your head off." Gee, I've been hangin' around with Thorn and Spyke too much.

The squirrel's eyes widened. Then it started to grow. This was no ordinary squirrel. I didn't think so. This squirrel was a shape shifter like me.

Beast Boy….!

A redo of my old Teen Titans story, so you all know. My friend, Jess or Spyke, thought it would be a good idea to change it. You know, actually explain and change things a bit. Make it more…detailed.

Well reviews are always accepted. Good & Bad Reviews are ALWAYS welcome. Any errors? Point them out in the review so I can change it or add it later on.
