Jungle, Ivory Coast, Africa

Little green black short clad legs pumped fast running until they turned into semi-clumsy kitten cheetah paws and sprinted faster. Shots fired behind the body causing scared whines and need.

"Get that little freak!" Shouted a man in English causing more panic in the little boys chest. More shots ran out and a fiery sting caused the little creature to stumble and cry out before transforming into a small child of seven his name Garfield Logan he cried out sounding like a wounded animal. As the poacher came closer a series of roars stall them it seemed the cry called man prides and packs of lions, hyenas, and vultures.

"Shit!" Sweated one of the men and quickly they were tore into and shots rang out. Garfield curled as best as he could muster with the shot clean through his hip and out his thigh. He whimpers with some relief as an older mother lioness licked his head and bare back in comfort. Unconsciously he shifted howling out in pain as he tuned into a cub and legs and hips still bleeding as the lioness lifted him carefully by the neck and all the animals started into the thick of the jungle.

A short older woman of 40 sat in a hammock she wore a rich orange and blue loose robe dress, her hair hung short in braids and she looked over worry was shown in her brown clouded eyes. Garfield shivered as one was brilliant gray and looked over him looming.

"Poachers, Rokia. He's is a human as well just in a cubs form." Explains a cheetah as the lioness sat him carefully in the woman's arm and he shifted painful to be full on cradled by her. His green skin was sweltering and slightly swollen he huffed tiredly "He is shivering like a leaf" Rokia said softly in Dyula which calmed the little boy to hear a more familiar langue. He spoke either french, Dyula or Swahili at all times English was very little to the smaller suffering boy.

"You are fine now, leaf." She said softly rubbing his hair as she paced fast through the jungle in skilled bare feet to a lone hut hidden in shade. She laid him on a soft woven mat and tended his wound smirking as it clotted quickly and look better, would scar by the end of the week. After an hour Garfield woke up and looked wide eyed and scared at Rokia, she smiled and placed a small bowl of yams and rice infront of him. He trembled with happiness and ate it savory.

"Can you speak?" She asked slowly and he looked around nervously before transforming into a baby bird and back to a human. He slumped over into Rokia and she sighed. "Well you seem to understand me. How old are you?" He was shaky as he held out seven fingers and she nodded. "We are the same, little leaf. I can speak with the animals and it seems you can turn into them." He nodded with a slight nervousness but she rubbed his back soothingly. "Call me mama Rokia."

Life was peaceful for the two and the animals that Garfield played with constantly for that next year, until his powers start acting with no control.

"Here my little leaf." She said motherly placing a clear and green amulet around this neck that hung to his chest. They sat next to each other on the bank of a stream that babbled steadily, birds chirped cutely and a antelope rested lazily by them. "We are all of many parts leaf, some times we must take time to collect all these part, weave them together and be one beautiful whole. This will help you I'm sure!" She expressed and they sat in the calm her eyes moved rapidly under her kids and Garfield huffed. And she chuckled at his frustrations.

"How do you weave?" He asked quietly and she open her eyes revealing them both glowing gray. "With happy. Everybody has happy, but it can be so little sometimes. All they seem to have are rage or sadness or mute to weave with." She explained and he nodded. "Can we give others happy? Can I do that?!" He asked and she rubbed his hair. "Of course Leaf, you make me happy all the time. Now let's try again, and this time I'll give you some of my happy."

She grazed over the crystal of the amulet, running it in her fingers and it softly glowed. "Say what I say, "Mimi ni nyingi , katika moja. Elfu mngurumo." He whispered it back and that how they stayed. In his mind.

4 years later

Garfield laughed as him and a chimp raced and played before he dove into the water turning into a small green hippo and swam towards the hut. Or was when shots fired into the water and in panic he flashed human and the eyes of four men went wide.

"I guess it was true. This puke stained fucker will go for a bill." Their four wheeler kicked dirt as Garfield turned into a Cheetah and ran home. Letting out a call to the others. Pythons struck out from their trees stalling to get cut out and ran over a panther pounced taking out one of them.

Suddenly Rokia stood up ahead eyes ablaze white the cast of a large white Lion blazed behind her and shot out bypassing Garfield, blinded and attacked his kidnappers. Garfield hugged the woman tightly she smiled.

"Keep happy my little leaf. Keep love as well Garfield." She said hastily kissing his forehead as a force knock trees and the kidnappers down. But the air became foggy and still and bloody as many shots rang out and Rokia fell dead. Garfield roared, cried and screamed clutching at her body, trembling he tried to escape by turning into a dove but a net quickly caught him and the feeling of happy was quickly fear.

Beast boy was unnoticeably trembling, he hid behind his happy once again and was cracking jokes that his own IQ scoffed at. After the beast incident he felt him self pulling apart, it hurt to shift, he wanted nothing more then to tear into steaks maybe the whole cow even. He was losing his cool with the bad guys him and the Teen Titans fought. Suddenly he mutter, "Mimi ni nyingi , katika moja. Elfu mngurumo." Raven and Robin perked up.

"What you say beast boy?" Asked Robin and the changing eyes widen a bit. "I said you guys hungry? Lo Mein sounds good!" He said groaning and Raven cringe at it. "No thanks.", suddenly the alarm went off.
" Titans Go!"
