(in FBI intorogation room) NO, I DO NOT OWN THE TEEN TITANS!. It was a joke. Release me.


The Titans sat in the T-car, with Red X driving in front of them on his X-Cycle. Raven, sitting next to Beast Boy off course, had crossed her arms and looked frustrated.

"I still don't have a good feeling about this." She said.

Robin sighed in frustration. "Can you give the guy a break, Raven? No-one attacked us or ambushed us since we departed from Titan Tower. Trust him."

"Not about Red X." she said, giving their leader one of her famous death glares. "This. The mission. Shifter. I'm not comfortable with this. For all we know…"

Beast Boy interrupted her with a kiss on the cheek, which made her blush. "Calm down, Rae. Everything going to be fine. I've defeated him more than once. Even with his 'upgraded' henchmen is this going to be a walk in the park." He said. "Speaking of which. Shall we have a picnic in the park when this is over? It's been ages."

Suddenly, Red X took a sharp turn and stopped in the alley. Cyborg parked the car, made sure that 'his baby' was safe and ran to the other Titans, and the want-to-be-Titan. They looked around, but there was nothing to see.

"You sure this is the right place, 'Nathan'? Or did you lead us into a trap?" Raven asked.

"You'll learn to trust me, Sorceress. Yes, this is the place, and no, I haven't lead you guys into a trap." Red X sighed.

"But there is no doorway into the Shifter's lair of evil." Starfire commented.

Red X chuckled and walked over to one of the walls. "Yes, there is. You just need to know where to look." He said, pushing his arm in the direction of the wall.

His arm disappeared into the wall, like it wasn't there.

"Hologram." Robin grunted.

"And a good one." Cyborg said, raising and eyebrow. "It doesn't show up on my sensors. This man sure knows how to build something." He saw the angry look on Beast Boy's face. "Sorry dude."

Beast Boy ran to the entrance. "Titans, Go!" he shouted.


They walked through a dark hall. Cyborg popped one of the flashlights out of his shoulders to light the way. It was quiet, too quiet.

"Man, I don't like the look of this, y'all." Cy said. "No guards, no security, like they expect us."

"They don't." Beast Boy said, his searching eyes never standing still. "HE does. But don't worry, I fought him many times, almost as much I have fought the Brotherhood of Evil. He's not that tough."

"I used to be, monstrosity." A calm voice said, making the Titans look around because there wasn't anyone in the hallway. "Don't bother looking for me. Just keep going, you'll find me soon enough."

Beast Boy froze, his body shaking like grass in the wind. "T-t-that was h-his voice. It IS him. N-no!" he stuttered. Raven quickly wrapped her arms around him, trying to calm him down. She whispered something in his ears. He soon stopped shaking, giving his girlfriend a thankful look. They continued walking.

"This way, nor far now." Red X said, leading them to a large door. "Raven, if you please…?"

Raven surrounded the large door in black aura and then pushed it. The doors fell open. They jumped into the room, birdarangs, X-shuriken, starbolts and sonic cannons ready. But the room was empty. Or so it seemed. They heard soft clapping. Out of a dark corner, a man stepped forward. He was tall, slim and wore a white lab coat. He had dark brown hair and same colored goatee. He didn't seem that tough. He grinned at the six teenage heroes, but had fixated his eyes, who were filled with hate, on Beast Boy.

"Doctor Shift" Beast Boy whispered.

"Ah, you remember me. well done, Green Monster. You've found me. I'm a bit disappointed in you. Suspected you sooner, much sooner." He said calmly. "And these must be your friends. If anyone can be friends with a monster like you."

Raven's eyes glowed white and wanted to charge at the Doctor, but Red X laid a hand on her shoulder and shook his head. "This is between Beast Boy and that madman." He whispered. Raven nodded and glared angrily at the man who was insulting her boyfriend. Beast Boy slowly stepped forward.

"How did you return?" Starfire asked.

"You don't ask the questions, alien. He does?" Shifter grinned.

"Why are you here, Doctor Copycat?" Beast Boy asked with a grin. The man never could stand that name, he hated it. Much to the shape-shifter's surprise, the man laughed.

"HAHAHA, I must say, I have missed that name, monster. But I go through life with another name, like you maybe know." He said.

Raven couldn't take it anymore and quickly stood next to Beast Boy, grabbing his hand. "Yeah, we know, 'Shifter'. What a ridiculous name. Why do you call yourself like that? Can you shape-shift like him?"

"Dear, dear, aren't we impatient? All in good time, my dear. First the green one's question. Revenge is the answer. Do you remember mount Méta Morpho, Beast Boy? My creations? My glorious machine?"

Beast Boy didn't answer, but nodded.

"You destroyed all of that hard work. Years of research, destroyed in one angry mood of you. But I must be thankful, monster. You helped me reach my destiny." Shifter said, slowly stepping in the direction of the Teens.

"And I can immediately answer your pale friend her question. No, I don't shape-shift. I do something else. He said, raising his hand.

Before Raven could say ANYTHING, a purple energy blast erupted from his hand, in her direction. Beast Boy pushed her out of the way and was almost hit by the blast. He quickly dragged her to the place where the Titans were taking cover. Beast Boy looked devastated.

"That's new." He said, fear trembling his voice.

"It must be his 'trip' through that dimension he was thrown in. it must have given him the power to shoot these blasts." Raven said, also with fear in her eyes, but only Beast Boy could notice this.

Robin smiled and looked to Red X. "I think that you have the perfect weapon to trap him, X."

Red X smiled underneath his mask and nodded. He jumped out of their cover, while Cyborg and Starfire were giving him covering fire. And raised his hand and shot his 'red-x-trap', that he used once on Raven and Beast Boy, at the villain. It was a direct hit and the villain fell on the floor, unable to move. The man grunted and tried to get free, but it was no use. Beast Boy approached the trapped villain, with the rest of his team mates behind him.

"That wasn't so hard. And you took a wrong name. you should have called yourself 'blaster' or 'purple blast man'. I'm the only shape-shifter here." Beast boy said, grinning at the 'defeated' opponent.

Much to their surprise, the trapped villain smiled, his eyes starting to glow. A massive shockwave, starting from his body, threw the Titans backwards. When the smoke cleared, Shifter was released, holding the red bandages in of his hand.

He laughed. "You don't seem to get it, Titans." He said, levitating of the ground, astonishing the Titans. "I don't shift shapes. I shift POWERS!" he yelled, holding his arms out.

In one hand, a flame appeared while in the other was surrounded with the purple energy he used earlier. Rocks and water began floating around him. "And this is the only shape-shifting I can do." With a dark smile, his body began to change.

The coat he was wearing seemed to attach to his body, which turned from Caucasian to dark purple. His hair and goatee changed into a blackish color. His eyes, formerly blue, turned dark green with no pupils or irises. A great flash blinded that Titans.

When they could see, they looked at the Transformed villain. He seemed to wear a alternate version of Beast Boy's costume. Only the Colors were different. It was red-white instead of black-purple, like Beast Boy's.

The Titans looked in shock at the villain.

"I am Shifter, wielder of all powers." He said, grinning at the Titans. "Who's first?"


There you have it. Shifter has revealed himself. Do you see now why I used that name. Is it a good one. Can you imagine him a bit? I'm not that good in describing persons. Did you get the hint about his costume?

Next: Battle and a Beastly twist.

Please Review. I need to know how I do it so far.
