CHAPTER 4: Calling Titans

Okay, I can do this. I have to do this. I must do this.

I reach for the phone and my fingers hover above the buttons. Shit, what is the number to the tower? I can't seem to remember. If only I have my communicator. I squeeze my eyes shut, trying really hard to recall the numbers.

As though my fingers have a mind of its own, I feel them pressing down on the buttons randomly, skipping from one button to the next. I press the phone to my ear. Not soon after I finish hitting the numbers, I can hear the faint sound of the phone ringing.

Oh God. This is it.

With each beep, I feel myself growing anxious. What the hell am I going to say when someone actually does pick up the phone? "Hi, guys! It's me Raven. I know I don't sound like myself. In fact, it's a long story. I'm now in Japan stuck in a male's body who happened to be a really famous singer in Japan named Lee. So can someone tell me how the hell did this happen?"

Yup, you sound really 'convincing', Raven.

Man, this is going to be so difficult. It would be a miracle if I manage to convince the guys. I really hope Robin or Cyborg would be the one who pick up the phone. Please, please, please let it not Starfire or Beast Boy. Starfire is a little too- how should I put it- naïve to understand the complicated mess I am in. As for Beast Boy, I don't even want to think about it.

The phone continues to ring. Why isn't someone picking up? Have they gone off to save the world from evil again? I tap my fingers on the table impatiently. "What do you think will happen if Raven answers the phone?" the question suddenly plays into my mind.

Oh my God. I never thought of that. I mean, if I am in Lee's body, what happens to mine? Is Lee in my body now? Or worse, am I even alive as Raven? Imagine, me talking to myself. Oh God. Naturally, I start to panic, sending the heart monitor into a beeping frenzy.

Beep! Beep! Beep! Beep!

"Shit!" I drop my phone in a frantic. "Calm down, Raven. Calm down," I instruct myself, bending my body down to reach for the phone lying on the floor by the bed while pressing my hand against my chest, willing my heart to beat at a normal rate.

Fingers curl around the phone, I quickly bring it to my ear.

Beep! Beep! Beep! Beep!

I can't hear a bloody thing. Pressing the phone to my ear with my shoulder, I sit cross-legged, hands resting lightly on both side of my legs, eyes shut tightly, trying really hard to shut out the sound of the monitor and begin to meditate, "Azarath Metrion Zinthos. Azarath Metrion Zinthos. Azarath-"

Beep! Beep! Beep! Beep!

Argh! I give up. I violently tug the wiring out of my body and the heart monitor instantly went dead.

"Hello? Hello? Heeelllooo?"

Every single cell in my body simply freezes at the voice coming out of the phone. A mixture of relief and panic flows through my body. Relief because the voice talking down the phone isn't mine, disappointment because it's not Robin or Cyborg who picks up the phone and finally, panic because I have no idea what I am going to say to the person on the phone.

"Sheesh, some idiot making some stupid prank call…" the voice is slow moving away from the phone.

"NO! Beast Boy, wait! Don't put down the phone!" I yell down the phone a little louder than needed.

"Oh!" the familiar voice rings through the phone.

"Beast Boy…" I manage to breathe out the words a little calmer.

"Who is this? Do I know you?"

"Uh…" I say, a little lost for words. Okay, Raven. Just say it and get it over with.

"Beast Boy, it's me, Raven."

There's a sudden pregnant silence except for both of our heavy breathing down the phone. What is going on in his mind now? I shift the phone to my other ear and rub my sweaty palm on my hospital gown. The silence is literally killing me.

"Beast Boy?"

"Is this some kind of joke?" Beast Boy snaps, a hint of anger in his voice, making my heart beating hard against my ribcage.

"Wha-What are you talking about? It's me, Raven. I-I-I know I don't sound like myself but it's-"

"You actually want me to believe that you're Raven?" he says incredulously.

How many stupid explanation and convincing do I have to do in one bloody day? I am not even sure if I can keep on doing this anymore. "Beast Boy, you have to trust me. I really am Raven! The mess I am in now is really-"

"You think this is funny?" he cuts in crossly.

"What are you talking about?" Lee's husky voice breathes into the phone. "Look, just pass me the phone to Robin or Cyborg. I desperately need to talk to them!"

"Don't you ever play such a stupid prank like this, you idiot!" he growls angrily, a jolt of fear enters my body.

"Beast Boy-"

"If ever I hear your voice again, I will make you wish you were never born!" he warns.

His voice becomes distant and I can hear a faint voice asking, "Who was that?"

"Wait! Robin! It's me-" I yell desperately down the phone.

"Some jackass."

The phone line goes dead. Not giving up, I hit the "Redial" button. As expected, no one picks up the phone. Every minute no one picks up the phone, I end the call and hit the "Redial" button. The minutes pass by. Finally, I slam the phone down and hit my fist against the table, knocking down the bouquet of roses.

What the hell is going on? I have never heard Beast Boy sound so… mad. Okay, it's understandable that he thinks I am playing a stupid prank because I sound nothing like Raven. I mean, if a woman phones me and tells me she is Cyborg, I would end the call immediately. I guess I have to give Beast Boy some credits for being patient enough to tolerate my 'prank'.

Still, my two most important questions are still left unanswered: What happen to my body? Is Raven dead or alive? Frustrated, I run a hand through my messy hair, wincing at the tangles. I part of me is thankful that I am not in Raven's body right now. With my emotions running out of control like this, I might bring the whole place down in three seconds flat.

The door to my room suddenly swings open and I yelp in shock. Standing right outside my room is a small little Japanese girl with a teddy bear and notebook in her hand. What comes next is a big toothy smile from her as she bounces to my bedside. She thrusts the notebook under my nose and babble away in Japanese excitedly.

It doesn't take a genius to know what she wants. I groan. This can't be seriously happening. I am so not in the mood for this. Gently, I push her note pad away and shake my head, flashing her what I hope is a heart melting smile. She stops talking and stare at me with her cute big, round, cute, hopeful puppy eyes.

Then, the weirdest thing happens. Instead of melting upon my amazing smile (at least I think it is), I feel myself melting at the sight of her cute, chubby face. Reaching out, I take the notepad from her and pull out the pen which is clipped onto the notepad. Her face breaks into a smile and begins to cheer happily, jumping around the room with her hands thrust in the air.

"Shh…!" I press a finger to my lips. The last thing I need is her cheering getting the attention of the nurses. She stops, mimics me by pressing her finger to her lips and says, "Shh..!" before giggling away quietly.

Slowly, I flip through the pages of the notepad, taking in the drawings of stick figures drawn in crayons and colour pencils. Each stick figure has a mini microphone drawn in its round finger-less hand. Reaching a blank page, I press the tip of the pen on the notepad and begin to sign.

Rave-

Crap. I've completely forgotten I am Lee right now. Scratching out the mistake I made, I try signing Lee's name in cursive. After scratching and resigning about ten times, I hand back the notepad and pen to the little girl. The moment her eyes set onto the page where I left Lee's signature, her face breaks into another huge, toothy smile and I feel my heart melting all over again. Unable to help myself, I reach out and pat her softly on the head.

I am not even acting myself anymore. Being in this body has totally ruined me.

"Oi!" a nurse enters the room and both of us jump in shock. The nurse quickly walks towards the little girl and drag her out of the room, lecturing her crossly. Completely ignoring the nurse's lecture, she turns her head over her shoulder and waves at me.

I wave back at her. Soon, she is out the door and out of sight.

Barely a minute later, the nurse stalks back into my room. Her eyes fall onto the wires left dangling by the side of the heart monitor. Walking to my side, she grabs the wires and starts pressing them back onto my body again, mumbling away in Japanese.

"Sorry, I'm afraid I don't understand what you're saying," I say politely. The nurse looks at me and to my surprise, a blush forms on her face.

"A-Ah, I'm sorry, Lee-san," she statters. It's so obvious she's a fan of Lee. "B-But the doctor said that you're not suppose to remove the wirings at all time."

"No, it's not that. I just want to…" I pause. What the heck do I want to do anyway?

"Y-Yes?"

"Bathe," I say with a nod. "I feel like bathing now." Which is completely true. I mean, I have been going on for two whole freaking months without soap and water. Casually, I bring my hand to my nose and sniff it before pulling a look of disgust for the nurse to see even though I smell nothing.

She walks towards a cabinet by the wall and opens it as I lift myself off the bed. Pulling out a pair of clean white T-shirt and pants, she passes them to me, "Here's a new set of clean clothes."

I thank her and enter the bathroom, locking the door behind me.
