Matthew Gemm: Thanks and sorry. But I forgot to mention that also, the 2003-10 version is also the animation style closest to that of Young Justice (sorry). Updates won't have a specific time of which they will occur, but I hope to do them as often as possible (perhaps they'll be similar to how the first book of this series was updated these past few weeks). It'll take a few chapters before he gets there, but he will. The Wonder Woman thing…hmm…maybe…this book will mainly focus on his relationships with the Turtles and Master Splinter (but I know there will be a thing with her in the next book, sorry). I don't think he'll have a love interest in the tmnt universe…sorry.

Chapter 1: Catching Up And First Introductions

(The Watchtower, several minutes later)

Superman and Aqualad were leading conversations with the team and the League, who had been working together on missions.

"So your missions were successful?" Superman asked.

"Yes, Beta squad's mission to stop Ocean Master's plans to seize power in my kingdom was thwarted. La'gann, Beast Boy provided great assistance in defeating him and his supporters." Aquaman answered.

"Yeah, I'm glad I finally got to see Atlantis! Haha!" Beast Boy laughed.

"He never shut up." Lagoon Boy hissed, his arms crossed.

Some of the group chuckled.

"Gamma?" Aqualad said.

"The Cult of the Kobra was defeated and captured. Kobra proved…difficult to subdue, but we managed." Black Canary said.

Superboy, Red Arrow, and Robin chuckled.

"You had me tire him out so you could deliver the knockout hit!" Green Arrow hissed.

"You were complaining you hadn't see enough action back in Star City…so…" Canary chuckled.

Almost everyone laughed.

"Where's Alpha squad?" Wonder Woman asked.

The sound for the Zeta tubes 'starting up' was heard.

"Here." Superman said.

"Recognized: Batman- A02, Nightwing- B01, Red Hood- B13, Dark Beast- B30." The Zeta tube voice stated.

The four dark figures walked out of the Zeta tube.

"Well, well, well…look what the bats dragged in." Black Canary chuckled.

"Oh where'd you get that cute dog? Can I keep him?" Zatanna chuckled, but sensually.

The shapeshifter pulled his hood down, to hide his blushing. Zatanna just grinned seductively.

"Someone's shy." Wonder Woman chuckled.

"This is the fierce fighter that brought down the Light? I'm not impressed." A near emotionless female voice scoffed.

Drew turned to look at the owner of the voice. She looked to be about a year or two older than Beast Boy. She had a lean figure for a girl her age, which was shown by her dark indigo leotard-like outfit, but with long sleeves that looked like they were designed for her. On it is a black belt with a red jewel at the center on her front side. She also wore a hooded cloak of the same dark color, but she wasn't wearing the hood currently. Also right at her next is a red jewel on the cloak that 'connected' with the hood. She also wore black boots and black fingerless gloves. Her skin is a caucasian skin tone similar to that of Zatanna. She has long dark black hair, violet eyes, and what looked like a red gem on her fore head.

'Is this really the one who defeated the Light?' She grunted in her mind.

Drew looked up, his deep green eyes illuminating in the shadows of his hood. The girl took a step back in surprise.

"What's the matter Raven? Scared?" Beast Boy chuckled, suddenly appearing beside her.

"What did you say?" Raven hissed, her eyes turning fully red as she glared at him.

Beast Boy laughed nervously, but Drew could see him blushing some.

"You've met Raven, one of few new recruits that have joined us." Nightwing chuckled.

Two more figures walked out to meet the shapeshifter. One is a young woman that is a few inches shorter than Red Hood and the other is a guy about the same height as Guardian.

"Meet Starfire and Cyborg." Nightwing said, gesturing his open hand to the two.

Starfire has a figure similar to that of Wonder Woman: lean yet athletically built. Her curly hair is a fiery red that hangs down to her waist with bangs. She has orange skin and her eyes are a bright green, much lighter than that of Drew's. Her outfit is a revealing one: she wears a what looks like a purple bra that covers part of her cleavage that attaches to an odd looking purple necklace as well what looks like purple panties, and also purple dominatrix boots.

"I'm pleased to meet you; I am Starfire of Tamaran." Starfire said, her voice sweet yet strong.

"I-I'm glad to meet you." Drew stuttered.

The young woman smiled. Drew turned to look at the one called Cyborg. Not only was he as tall as Mal, but he had the same build as him too. What was the most intriguing part Cyborg is what his hero name is. His left eye, the left side of his head (except for his mouth & nose), the back of his head/neck, his entire torso and lower body, his shoulder, his forearms, and his hands are completely mechanical. Parts of his mechanical body were colored a sapphire blue, while other parts were white or gray. The pieces of him that are still human revealed him as a young black man probably about Nightwing's age. His right eye is a dark chocolate brown color, he's clean shaven, and bald.

"What's happening?" Cyborg greeted, his voice close to a baritone yet upbeat.

"Quite a bit…you?" Drew asked.

"Just loving this new gig." Cyborg chuckled.

"Good, you're working with this world's greatest & mightiest heroes." Drew replied.

Some of the group chuckled.

"Dude! It's great to see you again! We haven't seen you in months!" Beast Boy said as he leapt in front of his fellow shapeshifter.

"It's great to see you all too. I've been busy hunting those that had escaped and their allies. They appeared as I was fighting the League of Shadows." Drew explained.

"Yeah, it was fun…Sensei, Hook, Professor Ojo, and several of their underlings were captured. Talia and the rest of the underlings escaped." Red Hood added.

"Hmm…we will have to look for them later…for now, let us relax." Aqualad said.

"For jobs well done. The other squads were successful in their missions." Superman explained.

The group was socializing in the Watchtower's lounge. Drew is at a table with Beast Boy, Nightwing, Red Hood, and Wolf. Drew is petting Wolf's head as Beast Boy tells the group with his mission in Atlantis.

"And then I turned into a squid and covered Ocean Master's face in ink! Haha!" Beast Boy laughed.

Drew chuckled some.

"Sounds like you had a great time." Drew said.

"Duh!" Beast Boy chuckled.

Drew saw Raven from a distance chuckling some, she was looking at the green shifter. He turned to look at BB.

"Seems you have a crush on Raven." Drew whispered.

"What! No I don't!" BB whispered hysterically, blushing heavily.

"And you Nightwing…seems you like the Tamarnian." Drew chuckled.

"Well…we're together actually." Nightwing chuckled.

"Lucky dog." Red Hood teased, punching his friend's shoulder playfully.

"You seem to have some lady admirers too Drew." Nightwing said.

"I'm still shocked that they actually like me. You'd think they'd believe I'm a freak or a monster." Drew sighed.

"I hate to say it man, but some people believe you are." Red Hood sighed, tapping his helmet on the table (he'd taken it off before the conversation).

"Not some…most…" Drew corrected.

Drew tapped his claw-like nails on the table.

"So…uh…how's the efforts that's going into looking for the origin of the some of the tech used by the Light?" Drew asked.

"Little by little…Superboy says he believes it's familiar…but we only have bits and pieces to work with. Batman and Atom have been working on trying to discover its secrets…they plan to explain what they've learned about them soon." Nightwing answered.

"Hmm…" Drew murmured.

"What's wrong?" Beast Boy asked.

"…I've got a bad feeling about this…" Drew answered.

"It'll be fine, don't worry." Nightwing replied.

"If there's one thing I've learned…it's to trust my instincts…and they're saying something's going to happen…I'm just not sure." Drew answered.

Drew lowly growled.

"It's ok…we're just glad to have you back." Beast Boy said.

Drew smiled, but barely at his fellow shapeshifter.

"Thanks…" Drew replied.

Drew went to his room (which had been waiting after the final 'battle' with the Light) to get some sleep. But, like most nights, he just lied down on his bed, staring at the ceiling, and thinking about…everything. There was a knock at his door. He got off the bed and unlocked then opened the door. Zatanna is standing there in the doorway, a smirk on her face.

"Z-Zatanna?" He stuttered, blushing.

"I can't believe you're not afraid of Batman, but are afraid of me & every other pretty face." She chuckled as she walked into his room.

He shut the door. Zatanna did a circling motion with her left pointer finger, and the door locked behind them. Drew turned from it to her, blushing heavily.

"Hehehe…before we begin…we need to talk about something: Raven says she senses something strange about you. She doesn't know what exactly…but she thinks some kind of…power…but she says it's hidden deep within you…" The sorceress said.

"Really?...the Chimera serum I was injected with…my parents…they…they weren't sure of how I was able to turn into prehistoric animals…I heard them say they didn't use any of their DNA…traits…I guess…" The shapeshifter replied.

"Hmm…she said it could be by your emotions. Raven's an empath, so she can sense the emotions of others. She says your two main emotions that are filling you are: fear & sadness. I find the first really odd, but the second makes sense…no offence." Zatanna added.

"Believe me…both make sense…" The shifter sighed as he leaned against one of the walls.

"Hmm…well…we're going to test the tech the Light were utilizing in a few days at lab provided by Batman in New York City. But first…" She purred, then pat the bed seductively.

Drew gulped & blushed nervously.

(Drew's room, a few hours later)

Drew woke up with Zatanna in his arms, the bed sheets covering everything except their arms, shoulders, necks, and heads. He smiled contently. Then he soon went back to sleep.

To be continued…
