Yeah, this chapter is finally up. Sorry it's been taking me so long to do these, but I have been very busy and I have a lot of things to do. So yeah, here is the next chappy! ( I love that word! Chappy ... hehe)

Disclaimer:I do not own the Teen Titans.

A pattern found

The rest of the week seemed to fly by for the Titans. It was Friday after noon and all the Titans were in their last classes. Beastboy and Terra pulled pranks on Mrs. Helricky, Robin and Raven were already working on a school play, Cyborg was working on his project with Alex in the library, and Starfire was getting to know her knew friend quite well.

"Please, inform me, where do youreside?" Starfire asked Stephen. He sighed, even though thequiet, punk, always keep to himselftype boy liked Starfire or Kori as he knew her,than most people, she sure didask a lot of questions.

" I live here at the school dorms, I go home for holidays sometimes." he told her. Starfire smiled at the boy with black hair that fell in his eyes sometimes.

"I too live here, I am sharing a room with my friends, Terra and Raven." she said to him. He nodded at her statement. He had met Terra and Raven once or twice this week. He had heard about the two sophomores, Terra and Garfield, pulling pranks already this year. And he had a few classes with Raven, he got along with herpretty well, probably cause they never talked. But still, it was better than being friends with preps.

The bell rang at that moment. Starfire picked up her books and brought them to her chest. Stephen grabbed what little he books he had. He dropped one he went to pick it up, but had trouble not dropping his other books.

"Here you are." Starfire said while handing him the book. She looked at it, 'The tell Tale Heart, The Raven, and many more of Edgar Allen Poe's best'. Starfire thought for a moment, she knew she had seem this book somewhere else, maybe Raven had it.

"Thanks Kori." Stephen said to her. She just smiled at him. The two walked out of the room. Starfire went one way and Stephen went another.

"Stephen, wait for a minute please." Starfire said while waving to him. He turned around and looked at her.

"What is it Kori?" he asked. She walked over to him.

"There is a party that my friends and I are going to tonight, I would like to know if you would like to join us?" she asked her new friend.

"I'd like to Kori, but me and that crowd don't mix well." he said referring to the supposed popular people. Kori put a hand on his shoulder.

"It would be nice if you were there, plus, you have me an my friends there also. So please think about my offer." she said with a warm smile. He nodded and smiled at her slightly. Then she went off to go put her books in her locker. She waved at him while he walked off. He waved a little too.

Stephen actually wanted to go to the party, he usually never gets to go anywhere and would rather be anywhere than at home. But something worried him.

'What if they find out about me? What if Kori won't be my friend anymore?' a part of him said

'So what! You've never needed friends before, what makes her and her friends so special?' his other self argued.

'I don't know, she's just nice. And it feels good to be cared about for once.' his first self argued.

'You barely know anything about her or any of them. And what if she finds out about you, they'll leave you like all the others. And they will turn you in.'

"Ompf."

"Ahh!"

Stephen fell right on his butt. He saw another person fall as well. He looked up. She had short brunette hair, he thought he had seen her before.

"Sorry, wasn't watching where I was going." he said as he got up.

"Ah, it's alright. I wasn't exactly being to careful either." she said. Kia got up and brushed herself off. Suddenly they both heard someone yelling.

"You get back you hooligans! When Monday comes you both have detention!" they heard Mrs. Helricky scream at two running and very scared students. Beastboy ran right past Kia and Stephen. Beastboy came to a halt and backed upa bit.

"Hey Kia, he Stephen... gotta go!" he yelled to them as he raced off. Not too far behind him was Terra.

"Hey Stev, hey Kia!" she said to them as she ran past them. Stephan looked at Kia questioningly.

"You know those two?" he asked her. Kia laughed at little.

"Who doesn't know Gar and Terra. Well with them pullin pranks n' all, it's no wonder their so widely known." Kia said with her southern accent covering every word. "How do you know em'?" she asked Stephen.

"They're friends of a friend." he stated.

"I see, well I better be headin' off. Coach el' kill me if I am late to another practice." she stated while walking off. Stephen didn't really take notice of what she said, just that she was leaving. He just nodded and started on his own way. He slowly made his way to the school dorms.

He walked down the halls. Sometimes they were filled with various students, and sometimes they were empty. He brushed his hand against the wall as he walked by.

When he got to his room he opened the door. He stepped inside. The light was off and it was really quiet. Usually his roommate would be here. He didn't think anything of it, he just went and laid down on his bed. He reached over to his bed stand and grabbed the CD player that was there. He slipped the headphones over his ears and pressed play. Music started to play. He slightly moved his head to the music while still laying down. It felt niceto just relax and lay down on your bedwhile listening to music in the calming dark.

Stephen suddenly had a strange sense that he was being watched. He turned down the volume and sat up. He scanned the room intensely, his eyes covering ever inch of the room that he could see. He thought he spotted something in the shadows. He squinted his eyes. He got up off the bed cautiously. He slowly walked over to where he had thought he had seen the something watching him.

Suddenly something dropped and fell of the counter. It broke with a loud clatter. He figured it was a glass of some sort. Stephen the ran to where the light switch was. He flicked the switch as fast as he could. His breaths were fast and his chest was moving upward and downward like no other.

When he scanned the room again, this time with the light on he saw nothing. He slowly walked to where the broken glass was. He picked up the big chunks of glass and put them on the counter.

At that very moment something jumped out at him. He stumbled backwards. It was clawing his face and scratching his arms. He threw the thing across the room and it landed on the other side of the bed.

"What the hell was that?" he said trying to catch his breath. He went over and got on the bed. He crawled across and looked over the other side. What he saw not only confused him but embarrassed him as well.

"Meow" the little fur ball mused. Stephen went to pick it up. The cat graciously let him. Stephen put the little cat on the bed.

"So I got my ass kicked by a cat, well, that's just great." He said while petting the cat. The cat started to purr and laid down.

"Wonder where you came from." he asked the cat. The cat just merely meowed in response. Stephen looked at the clock.

5:46

"Hmm, guess I wasted more time than I thought." he said to himself. He was still debating on wether to go the party or not. It was at seven. If he still wanted to go he still had plenty of time.

"What do you think cat? Should I go?" he asked the cute fur ball. The cat meowed and started to purr again. Stephen chuckled a bit.

"I'll take that as a yes."

Stephen then heard the door open. He looked over. It was his roommate.

"Hey Jay. Where have you been?" Stephen asked. Jay went over to the fridge and pulled out a root beer. He popped it open and took a swig. When he was done he wiped his mouth.

"I was talking to this Victor kid. He was helping me with my car, for some reason it wouldn't start. But no need to worry, the dude fixed it." Jay said. Jay was about to take another sip of the root beer when he saw the cat.

"See you've met Psycho." Jay said while walking over the cat and giving it a little pet.

"You mean you know this thing?" Stephen asked him.

"Yeah it's Samantha's. She's going to be out of town for a bit, so I'm watching it for her." Jay told Stephen while taking another sip of the pop.

"Oh, you're such a great boyfriend." Stephen said with sarcasm in every word.

"Shut up. You would do it too if your girlfriend asked you." Jay retorted while throwing a shoe at Stephen. Stephen laughed and caught the shoe and threw it back. Jay dodged the shoe. He went over to the counter and took an apple out of a fruit bowl. He bit into it.

"So, you goin to that party tonight?" he asked Stephen in between bites.

"Yeah I guess. You going?" he said while getting up off the bed. His friend nodded and took another bite of the apple. Jay looked at the clock as Stephen did before.

6:03

"I'm headin off to take a shower." Jay said while throwing his core in the trash.

"Ok, meet you at the party then. I...have to do... some stuff before I go." Stephen said while heading out the door.

"Ok man, see you then." Jay said to him.

Stephen walked out of the room and went down the halls. He left the dorms and went to the school. He slowly crept to the office where all the records were kept. He tried to open the door but it was locked.

"Damn it." he mumbled to himself.

"Guess I have to this the hard way." he said to himself. He closed his eyes. When he opened them he looked no longer like himself, but like the one of the teachers. He walked over to one of the classrooms where the janitor was cleaning.

"Uh, excuse me." he said. The janitor looked up.

"Oh, hello Mr. Morop, what can I do for you?" the janitor asked.

"I need the key to the main office. I uh, left something in there." Stephen lied. He hoped that the janitor wouldn't notice that he wasn't Mr. Morop, but who would guess that Stephen, the boy who keeps to himself, had powers like these? There was no way that anyone would notice.

"Oh, sure. Let me get them for you." the janitor said while digging through his many keys. Finally he pulled out the right one and gave it to Stephen, or Mr. Morop.

"Thank you." Stephen said as he took the key and walked off towards the main office again. When he came to the door of the main office he put the key in and turned it. He heard a click noise and opened the door. He stepped inside and closed the door behind him. He changed back into his normal self.

"Now, where are those files?" he asked himself as he searched through the many files. A while later he found what he was looking for.

"Ah ha, here they are. Ok, so first Tiffany Leyba, then Serena Baca, Tyler Ward, Kristin Brown, and last Zach Briggs." he said as he looked the files of the students that have gone missing.

"Who's next? There has to be a pattern." he said as he kept reviewing the files over and over again.

"I got it! Alexandra Gonzales is next. Oh, no. I have to warn her before it's too late." He said as he threw the pile of files aside (hey that ryhmed XD). He quickly left the room and ran outside. He checked his watch as he was running.

7: 26

"Ok, her party has already started. Great, just more people to freak out when I tell her what's going to happen." he said sarcastically. Then he started to run faster. It was times like these that he wished he had a car.

Yay! I got it done! Wow this chapter took me a while. Well this chapter really isn't about the Titans as much as it's a more of acharacter development for Stephen. Oo, we finally see that he has powers. What they are exactly...I am not sure myself. XD He is just able to transform into anything or anyone he wishes, and blend with his surroundings, which you will find out later on in the story.
