You could get Kennen. He's not the conventional AP mid, but he's super flexible, one of the best solo queue champions out right now.
Stay away from Ziggs for now. He's actually really bad. I ripped him apart as Jungle Udyr whenever he left his turret range.
Xerath is also a pretty good option, but be aware that your entire purpose is to be a poke machine. He lacks a lot of oomph in terms of raw damage in respect to other champions like Brand.
Brand is a really popular choice, but he's really fragile. I enjoy playing Brand.
