A/N: Hey, so consider this chapter a sort of... jump back in time, because this was supposed to be published around the time of Dark Injustice when in the chapter Batman was brainwashed by the Court of Owls. Also, I sort of consider this as cool timing. Eris gave a mostly original idea for the season 3 finale, and so he also gets to make a mostly original plot that's supposed to be what "TT vs Batman: Dark Injustice" should have been if it was more focused on the April Fools aspect if not the Batman aspect as the season 4 opener, so with this there's now two versions of that episode. One on the timing of the year and one on the episode title premise.

In the morning, Garfield's alarm went off with it saying, 'April Fools! April Fools! April Fo-" Beast punched his alarm, groggily looking at the time when he noticed it was way after the moment he wanted to wake up.

"What?! I was supposed to wake up at 2 in the morning! How can I be-" The shapeshifter, noticed his hands were red, then his arms and even his body. Going to the mirror, he found his whole body to be painted red and the hair on his scalp darker than blood. Checking in his underpants, he found that yep, even there all around was red. Transforming into several animals, they were all red just like his normal self before reverting into that. Sniffing it, it smelled like paint, and even... "Cyborg. Oh ha ha ha." The shapeshifter sarcastically laughed as he slowly clapped. "Very funny, but you forgot the-oh, even got the contacts. Well, I guess this is actually funny." He chuckled for real now. "Guess this makes up for painting him pink and dressing him like a Hawaiian."(*Note at the bottom.) "Anyway, I guess I'll go have breakfast then." Going to his door, he exited his room and and as a result got doused in water. The titans in the kitchen having breakfast could hear all the various things that were happening to Beast as he tried to navigate the hallway and living room, and when he finally came in, the shapeshifter has been tarred, feathered and painted with random blobs. All of his friends laughed at how annoyed and silly he looked.

"Hahaha, booyah!" Cyborg celebrated as he highfived Jinx. "You've been Big Fat Liar'd son! Red style!"

"Haha, retribution sure is sweet." Nightwing chuckled.

"I may not like being the Chlorbag Nardlernelk, but as you humans say, 'revenge is sweetest when served the cold'." Starfire said.

"Indeed." Jinx nodded, giggling at her friend's fumbling of the two phrases.

"Ok, yeah. This is funny." Beast rolled his eyes with a smile. "Like actually funny. But how did you guys get past my super sharp senses?"

"I filled your room with sleep enhancing gas last night while Nightwing painted you." Cyborg answered. "I even had my remote hand reprogram your alarm to not wake you up as early as you were planning. You should expect the paint to come off in a few days."

"Want me to clean you up though? The red doesn't look all that good on you though." Raven offered. Now, Garfield was suspicious, but considering Raven rarely ever participated in pranks since she believed herself to be above them, the changeling shrugged with a smile.

"Sure." However, an orb of dirty water appeared above him, and drenched Garfield. Everyone laughed, including the half-demon sorceress herself. "Dude, et tu Rave?!" The red hero gasped in shock at his smug girlfriend.

"Sorry Gar, but while I do hold myself above pranks, I decided to finally try it out and boy does it feel good. I may have pranked you and punished you before, but this is the first time I'm having a full blown blast about it." She pointed to the place where her chakram used to be on her forehead.

"Well, that's great Rae but now I need to go shower. Ugh." The dirty water Raven used was simply more than water mucked with dirt, it actually smelled bad and felt uncomfortable, along with the slime and feathers. He heard his friends laugh while he went to the bathroom to shower, though he remembered the hallway was booby trapped and likely had more, so turning into a bird he went to the bathroom. Coming out and flying to the living room, Beast was about to go make breakfast before Raven attached a black spiked collar on him.

"Hey, wha-?!"

"Get him!" His girlfriend called to the others as all the other titans ganged up on him, putting all sorts of stuff on him. By the time they were done, Beast was wearing a weird animal costume.

"Hey, what am I wearing?! Why can't I transform out of it?!"

"The collar I attached to you nullify your abilities." Raven explained.

"And we put you in a costume that accurately shows how weird you are. Look!" Cyborg explained as he showed him a mirror, and Beast saw how he now truly looked like a circus freak of a beast. Overall he was covered in fur and feathers with fur up front and feathers on his back, his arms resembling that of a flying squirrel's including the membrane for gliding, webbed toed shoes with fish scales, otter feet, a lizard's tail to go over his monkey tail and a Chinese dragon mask. Garfield tried taking the stuff off, but it was like it was now bonded to his skin.

"Sorry, but you can't remove it Beastie. We put a sticky cream in there to make sure you can't take it off."

"Then how am I supposed to go to the bathroom then?! Or eat?!" Garfield asked, sort of panicking.

"There's flaps to allow you to go." Nightwing told him. "And while the mask will make eating difficult, it's not impossible."

"Agh, no fair! This was supposed to be my day!" The costumed shapeshifter complained.

"That would be the birthday, friend Beast, but today is the day of our retribution." Starfire giggled. "And what we'd like you to do now is clean the tower of every trap."

"Everything?!"

"Yep, and Jinx will watch you." Raven said, the two dark girls fist bumping each other. "She has notes on where every trap is."

"But what if you need my help for crime and stuff?"

"We have the Little Buddies and Tween Titans for help."

"Sorry, but you're stuck." Raven told her boyfriend before most of his friends left the tower laughing.

"Well, get to it." Jinx said as she gently kicked Beast in the butt to get him started. He grumbled at how indignified he felt. Jinx was there the whole time, reading a magazine while sipping a soda as she indirectly watched him undo all the traps in the living room, kitchen, halls and eventually the whole tower in only a couple of hours. Though at one point he accidentally set a trap off and got covered in more slime. Once Jinx nodded with a smile to show that he really was done, the female metahuman said,

"Wow, I'm surprised you got everything taken care of. How did you do it all so fast?"

"Well, most of my pranks are very simple with springs and strings. Easy to disassemble and disassemble. And I used my sense of smell to track down all the ones I didn't make. As you can see, I set one off by accident." A grumble was heard. "Man, I haven't had breakfast and now it's getting around lunch time."

"I'll help you out." She volunteered. As Jinx ate a sandwich while Beast drank some soup through the the dragon mask's mouth, the pink haired witch asked, "So, need my help for any revenge plans you have?"

"Wait-what?" Garfield was surprised by her offer. "Why would you help me? I've pranked you sometimes before."

"Contrary to how I reacted, I think your pranks are pretty funny. You're a terrible comedian, but a great prankster. I just have a reputation that I'm above of anything lowbrow that you like to uphold. The reason I ask is because I'm getting tired of the other boys pranking me as well and making fun of when I do something embarrassing." Beast neither heard her heartbeat change by lying from either hearing it with his enhanced ears or though the ground with his feet, but felt none.

"Well that surprising and a bit harsh, but I think we can get our own revenge. Can you get me out of this though?"

"Sure. Azarath Metrion Zinthos." Waving her hand to cover him in pink energy, the costume and red pain just slid off of him.

"Whoa, when did you learn Raven's magic?!"

"I just know one magic trick from her books. It's so that if my jinxes cause an unwanted outcome like something destroyed or messed up, I can revert it back to normal. So now you're back to your old, green and annoying self."

"Again, harsh, but as long as I can get your help revenge I don't care right now. I just need to get changed into my outfit and then we can get started. Garfield handled the pranks while Jinx hacked into the tower security and fiddled with it along with the electrical system.

Returning from a fun day out, the titans were talking about how much fun they were having until Raven noticed a note on the couch.

"Beast and I went out to the arcade. Be back in a bit."

"Ha, I'd like to see how Grass Stain could play those games with that ridiculous costume on." However, the electricity cut out. "Aw man, did the fuse blow out?!" Lighting up the room with his mechanical eye, giving the room a red glow, they went to the elevator to go down to the electrical room. However, when the doors opened, the titans saw that a violent wave of water was rushing right towards them.

"Raven! Teleport!" Richard yelled. Everyone hugged her fearfully so that they could drop through a portal underneath them and closed it before the water could reach and drown them. That is if there was water, for that was just some technological illusion Jinx was doing, her giggling from the control room.

"Let's get crazy." Once outside, Raven tried to open a portal for all the water to drain out into the ocean, but none came out.

"Weird, why isn't it draining?" The sorceress wondered.

"Perhaps it has drained out the normally into the lower levels?" Starfire suggested, but Cyborg could tell something was up.

"Hold on, the electrical room would be too high for a wave like that. If there were a wave, then we'd have already known there was a tsunami smashing into the tower."

"So this could be a trick." Nightwing mused. "Let's go back in, but this time, carefully." Shifting the portal so that they could walk through it, the titans re-entered the electrical room and found no water in sight. Going into the elevator, they went up to the living room floor, but found that it was foggy, courtesy of Garfield and some dry ice in buckets of water in the ventilation system. It was still dark so Cyborg's eye made the room have a bit of a bloody mist feel to it.

"This is most unsettling." Starfire shivered.

"It's probably just Beast and his dumb pranks again." Raven rationalized. "He must've made a prank after Jinx gave him the all clear as planned."

"Feel them out." Nightwing suggested. "If Garfield set this up after Jinx made sure all the traps were taken down then he'd want to see us fall for something like this."

"I'm trying, but I don't feel anyone here. It's just us." The half-demon told him before lights lit up in the fog. Ghosts started to float around, with animalistic sounds coming from the fog and Cyborg started to really freak out.

"Oh man, my fear of ghosts are acting up again!" The metallic titan uttered in fright as he shook with clattering sounds coming from him. A tentacle plopped down on his shoulder. Looking down on it, his face lead from the end of the tentacle to a flash of an octopus before it disappeared in a flash, causing the titan to yell and jump into Starfire's arms. A crustacean claw gripped onto Starfire's leg, and she yelped as she now hovered in the air.

"Star, it's okay." Raven tried calming down her friend.

"Yeah, this isn't like when Raven created that horror situation that ate us. We're stronger then before. Whatever is happening, we can beat this." Nightwing said, filled with experienced determination. Although, a growling was heard, and golden eyes pierced through the fog. A growl was heard as the outline of a werewolf creeped through the fog. Nightwing was about to bring out an ammunition disc when Raven held up an arm.

"It's a trick. I'll prove it." Walking up to the werewolf, her friends cried out to her.

"Friend Raven, don't do it!" Starfire warned.

"You're the soft and squishy member of the team!" Cyborg shouted, to which the sorceress growled out of annoyance. Going to the werewolf, she grabbed its fur and pulled, only for the creature to growl even more threateningly and the fur to spike even more. Unfortunately, now that her emotions have more control, the fight or flight response had more hold over her, and right now, the fearful need of flight overruled any reason she had as she yelled.

"Run!" She yelled as she manifested her soul-self around herself and flew it over her friends to escape. By the time they reached the port, Nightwing spoke into his communicator,

"Beast, Jinx, Little Buddies, Tween Titans, we have a red alert! Get to the ports now!" It took a few minutes for the Buddies and Tween Titans to get to the ports while Raven summoned Jinx and her boyfriend, whom was again wearing his outfit the others put him in.

"Why's Beast like that?" Lynn asked the titans, weirded out by his chimera look.

"We'll explain later, but there's something more important!" Nightwing told the young boy.

"Beast, we'll need you for this." Raven said as she snapped her fingers and got rid of the costume and anything else while putting his normal uniform on in an instant.

"Everyone, get ready to fight for our home! Titans, GO!" Four titans, all of the buddies and the tweens yelled as they stormed into the living room, only to see it was fine.

"Huh, the lights are on." Cyborg noted.

"And there is none of the fog or lights."

"Wait, are you trying to fool us since it's April Fools?" Lizzie chuckled like she knew while bumping her elbow into Cyborg's side.

"But, we all four saw it. Cyborg, any abnormalities?" Nightwing asked the metallic titan.

"Nothing. Everything is normal with nothing out of the ordinary."

"Oh come on." Lynn groaned. "If you're going to prank us then do it in a way that actually feels like a good prank. This is lame."

"Yeah, this is not crack-a-lacking, yo." Birdarang said. Luna, Lotus and Super Robin were also just as unimpressed.

"Yeah, maybe you guys had too much alchohol." Jinx suggested with a giggle.

"Yeah, you dudes all acting weird and stuff." Beast agreed with a nod. Not satisfied, Raven used her soul-self to search the entire tower, but it didn't sense anything wrong either.

"What happened?" She asked.

"You acting all crazy is what happened. Come on, you guys get the Tweens home while we take care of the buddies." Garfield suggested. Extremely confused, Raven made a portal so she and the rest got the kids back to the orphanage, but they noticed Jinx give them a wink before they disappeared. It was then that the two remaining titans laughed as Jinx held up her communicator, saying,

"Thanks Gizmo. Your help is appreciated."

"Anything to get back at them." The kid prodigy laughed. "We may be on friendly terms now but that doesn't mean I won't get back at them with petty means."

"Hey, what you talking about Jinx?" Birdarang inquired.

"After they got the drop on him by dressing up as a funny looking animal and forcing him to clean all his traps, we pulled a prank on them thanks to us pulling horror tropes on them. It was especially convincing with Gizmo's help."

"Yeah, the orb bots with the lights, and me turning into a werewolf while Jinx helped make it so that we were not recognized by Raven? It was well put together."

"Woo! You two sure gots the drip on them!" Birdarang laughed.

"All I know is pain." Painbot replied. Super Robin gave a feathers up like a thumbs up while Luna appeared happy as she jumped into Jinx's arms.

"That's right Luna. We got 'em. We got 'em good." She petted her pet whom purred from the attention.

"Well, how about we watch a movie? I'm thinking of that Rixap movie Cryptic College."

"Hmm, I'm more of the fan of Cryptic Corp." Jinx shrugged.

A/N: Well, I have to say that this feels... somewhat underwhelming. I mean it wasn't a bad plot, but I'm more critiquing that for an April Fools chapter, it didn't feel hilarious as I was thought it would be writing it, like I thought I could write it funnier than this. Oh well. Tell me if this actually got a chuckle out of you, or if this feels like what a proper April Fools episode of TTG should be.
