Sciences tends to experiences.

Experiences tends to perfection.

To have perfection, you need imperfection.

And sometimes, in the will to reach perfection, you create so much worse. Tony Stark created Ultron to protect from greater threats but it turned out to be the thing he feared the most. That people destroyed themselves. Ultron did see that the ultimate threat was humans. Was he right through?

You were a product of a will to be better, stronger and bigger than the usual shapeshifter the company had encountered. They didn't want a wold, they wanted The Big Wolf. They didn't want the common lion, they wanted the lion king, and so forth.

Each form you take was genetically ten times stronger than the primal form which earned you the nickname of « The Original Beast ».

You hated that name as it reminded you how different you were, how a slave you were to them. They locked you up in a cage, only freeing you when in need of results and tests.

However, all time comes to an end, and you were not gonna be chained anymore.

The call for freedom was heard.

You had a secret. You were a shapeshifter with a unique ability, you could change into mystical animals as well and that night, you let the dragon resting in your heart roared its way out. That night, you freed yourself from your chains, escaping the prison you had been forced to live in, destroying the place you had been experimented on as well as all the traces of who you were and what you were.

No one ever heard of the dragon but a certain woman kept an acute eye on your activities.

*

The Ancient one sighed silently as she saw you curled up in your bed, nightmares invaded your sleep. You were not going any better and as she felt her end coming, she hoped you would meet Stephen and receive the help you desperately needed.

Weeks later, as you were walking in the streets of New York, trying to find a nice market to buy fruits, a fight erupted. Immediately you tensed your enhanced senses embracing the environment. A fragrance of blood, fear and panic tickled your nostrils and your rose your head up. You spotted the child fighting off some men dressed in black.

Instinct kicked in and you rushed to the child's side, as he was screaming for help.

« Let him go ! » you stated darkly.

The two men glanced at you and a smirk appeared on their lips, as you noticed the badge on their shirts. It was the same company you had escaped and a new feeling burned down your body. You stood protectively in front of the child who grabbed your leg, tears streaking down his cheeks.

« The Original Beast, I know someone who wants to see you. »

You groaned at them, stepping back.

« I won't let you take the kid. No one will be experienced on ever again! »

The leader of the men laughed sharply, his laugh echoing in the deep silence of the street.

You didn't see the man stepped through a blazing portal, nor the cloak gently grabbed the child to safety. You didn't feel its gentle hands left your leg, his warmth leaving a faded fingerprint on your clothes, your mind was so focussed on the men who had hurt you that nothing else mattered.

When one of them raised his gun and aimed at you, pulling the trigger and sending a wave of electricity shot. You changed into a giant chimaera, twice bigger than a normal feline. You swang your sharp snake tail which yowled at the enemy.

You roared loudly, tapping your hoof on the ground, when suddenly Doctor Strange came next to you, raising his shields up. You glanced at him, noticing his concentration was on the men in black and you readied yourself.

« Kill them » ordered the leader.

You bounced on the men, hitting them with your silver hooves, biting fiercely any limbs, you let the predator out while Stephen covered you when some tried to shoot at you.

When one of them used flamethrower at you.

You changed into a phoenix form, screeching and spreading your wings out, vivid flames burning down at the end of your feathers. The bright light blinded some of the men while Stephen stopped dead in his tracks for a second, admiring your mystical form. Then you decided to shift into another form: a dragon. Your body changed once more and you became the dreadful beast of a fantasy world.

You let out a powerful roar, scaring the hell out of a few enemies who ran away. Only the leader stood in the middle of the fight, a giant smile playing on his distasteful lips, he muttered softly ;

« You are truly a magnificent experience. A perfect success.»

The second he said that a flash of memories snapped you out of reality and a wave of fury invaded you and you breathed fire at him, ending him.

However, your new ally stepped in the way, blocking your flames with a shield.

« Wait, I need him. »

You growled loudly at him, eyeing the sorcerer carefully.

« Cloak, take him » he stated, while a flying crimson object flew out of nowhere and captured the leader who laughed madly at the scene.

You glared at the stranger, frowning. You bent your head down, looking at him right in his eyes. Stephen had a hard time to stay calm as a dragon decided to do a staring contest with him.

How many times had you seen fear, hatred, or disgust dancing in human eyes? Too many to count but when you looked into the stranger, something was different.

« Acceptance » you pondered, realising he was not going to hurt you.

You rose again and changed back into your human form.

« The Original Beast ! » called out the leader, while the Cloak shushed him out.

The man dressed in a blue tunic extended his hand at you :

« I'm Doctor Stephen Strange, Sorcerer Supreme. And you are? »

You reached his gloved hand, slightly feeling the scars crossing his skin and said :

« I'm Y/N, Shapeshifter. Nice to meet you. »

Sometimes, to be civilised with people can bring more humanity than you can think as it was the beginning of a powerful relationship and friendship.

« Care to come to the Sanctum to talk? »

You tilted your head to the side :

« As long as it is only you and the cloak. Fine »

A small smile appeared on the sorcerer's lips.

« Perfect. Will you go with me deliver this man to the justice he deserves? »

You frowned.

« Death is what he deserves for all he did on people. »

Stephen shook his head.

« I am no executioner but this man can pay for his crimes. Kill him is vengeance while sparing him and let him pay for what he did is justice. »

You took a step back, all the memories of your past coming back to your mind, the needles, the pain, the fear and so much loneliness.

« You have no idea what he did. He's not alone. I will stop them. »

Stephen grabbed your arm, out of instinct.

« Don't do justice yourself, Y/N. »

You removed your arm from his grip.

« I won't. »

He frowned, confused.

« Then what are you going to do? »

You locked eyes with him, determination filling your pupils.

« I won't let anyone be experienced ever again and remind them that if they do, I'll be here to put an end to there experiments. Take care of the child. He's special. »

Speak about the wolf, and he shall show up. The little boy ran to you, hugging you tightly as you knelt to embrace him.

« Thank you, thank you, » he repeated in your neck.

Stephen smiled at the spectacle.

« Or you could take care of him instead. He will need someone to help him understand how special he is. »

You sighed.

« Fine, Mister Strange »

He shook his head, annoyed.

« Doctor Strange, not mister. »

You looked at him and said sharply.

« I've been experienced by doctors, excuse me if I can't call you ' doctor'. You should be glad I don't chop your head off. »

He gulped and said :

« Just call me Stephen then. »

Next, he walked to the cloak, opened a portal while you carried the child in your arms and followed your new friend. Maybe all doctors weren't so bad after all.

A/N: So any thoughts? What did you think of the creatures for shapeshifting?
