Everyone stared.

The creature did not seem to have full control of her legs, and collapsed down, yelping as her knees connected with the tile floor. Overall, she looked bewildered and altogether harmless. Still, the odd appearance of something new and alien to the titans, along with the recent turmoil of events made everyone tense.

Robin felt unnerved by the girl. He knew body language, but this girl acted very un… un human. Even Star, an alien, had more human behavior than this amber eyed thing. Yet something about her was very familiar.

"Swift."

Even the word coming from his mouth sounded foreign. This was not Swift, his Swift. Swift chased strings and toppled his papers, joyously leaping, trotting after him begging food and attention, eating his hair, Star's hair, anyone's hair. Swift was a cat. A small golden kitten. Well, this was a small golden girl, and the way she acted and moved was catlike.

Looking around, Robin noted the positions of his teammates. Star was floating, obviously having seen the creature as a threat, but now her expression was puzzled. Raven's cat eyes looked irritatable and also puzzled. Cyborg was politely shielding his eyes, both organic and robotic against the girl's nakedness with one hand. Beast Boy was not.

"Robin, You think this is Swift?" Asked Starfire tentatively.

"Um, maybe. I don't know. We should get her, uh, covered up."

Raven, seizing the chance to actually do something, remembered a blanket in the main room and engulfed it in ebony, mentally flying the thing into the kitchen to wrap around the girl. It was unnerving to watch an action and influence so familiar, without the person that goes with it. Or at least not in her usual form.

At the touch of cloth, the creature startled away from it, half unbalancing, then, after gazing at long fingers, shrugged the wooly thing around herself awkwardly. Then she shuffled towards Robin and cried that kitten voice again, wordless sounds.

Robin frowned, then reaching a decisive moment, moved forward to catch the girl's hand. She smiled at him, an odd smile that didn't show her teeth, and seemed to be gulping at air.

"She's trying to purr." Beast Boy noted in a confident voice. Though Robin knew Swift best, and Raven was currently stuck as a cat, the shape shifter still doubtlessly knew more about cats over all. Cyborg shrugged and saw that all the cats had come to watch, except for the golden kit.

"I guess she's really Swift." The half machine said.

"I still do not understand why Raven is now a cat with wings and kitten Swift has changed into a young human. Nothing unusual has happened that cause such a thing. I don't even know what would cause such a thing." Starfire said. She had quickly gone from defensive to sympathetic and had stopped floating, feet firmly on the ground.

'No idea.' Raven ground out. First and foremost, she was an Empath before a Telepath, and this mental speaking was starting to bring tatters of her friend's emotions into her mind, where they clattered around and made it difficult to keep calm.

At this point Swift discovered, in quick kitten adaptability, that her hands could do things. Her first act with fingers was to pluck at her wooly blanket and pull it tighter around her. The second act was to reach up and pat Robin's hair. Delighted at the amazing detail of touch her hands could feel, she carefully grasped a hunk of dark hair in her hand, and pulled rather violently to the left. Robin's neck bent back, he pulled in the opposite direction, tense for a second before he calmed down. Swift was no longer pulling, but she hadn't let go.

"Well, let's find out what happened. Cy, run the scans, then I'm going to get Swift settled, or, er, something. Starfire, Beast Boy, try and find out what happened when they changed. Find where Swift was, and check Raven's room."

At this, Raven bristled, and Beast Boy looked nervous.

"…Okay, just Starfire checks her room." Both nodded, and exited, off to look for anything important. Cyborg aimed something on his wrist carefully at Raven, and after a few buttons were pressed, a thin but bright line of light whisked over Raven's features, leaving her wide eyed and feeling half blind.

"Looks like we've got mostly cat here, with some raven chemical patterns, mostly in the wings." He flashed a smile her way, and she stared back. Yes. She understood the amusement that her name was now, at least partway, her body. That didn't mean she had to also find it funny. Cyborg looked back to the screen. "There's also obviously some human, or else you won't have you mind. And some…" He paused, frowning at the readings like a difficult puzzle. "Something unidentified. Really weird looking too. Could be the cause of the problem. Unless…"

His gaze met Ravens, who stared back, eyes blank, refusing to speak. Robin glanced at the screen, and raised an eyebrow, which carried over to his look at Raven.

"Yeah." Cy said quietly. "Let's do Swift."

In a burst of fore thought at Swift's possible reactions, a few paper clips were found, twisted and jabbed through the blanket to hold it up more securely. Then the basic process done with Raven was repeated. However, this time there was tearless wailing from Swift, and she ended up under the table. Luckily the first scan was successful.

"Nope, nothing interesting. A bit of cat and a lot of human. Can't identify the genetic ethnicity, but with her, I'm not surprised." Cyborg sighed, and gazed with no focus at the wall in front of him.

"Okay." Robin said, voice more subdued than before. "We'll set up some more detailed scans in the lab for latter. Right now, I'm going to deal with Swift."

Raven, who had been waiting for this moment, surged into the air, eyes obscured by white and melted into the ceiling, seeking the roof.
