She-Pirates kick-BUTT: Really? That's really creepy. Sorry to hear about the death of your squirrel *snickers* Not being rude here. LOL, just pulling your leg!

Gretchen123: Thanks for loving this and I'm loving you right back even though you guessed wrong. Good guess though ;)

Wolfe-Crazyy: WOW! Thanks for leaving 3 comments (all demanding for a prize) but still, that's not going to get you any prize ;p! Don't hate me *pleading puppy eyes* And mau I add how touched I am that you create an FF account just to add this story to your fave. SO I LOVE YOU FOR THAT.

: Glad you find it hilarious. Keep reading cause it's the fun doesn't stop there.

Latezz123: Honestly, I wrote Lee appearance while imagining those famous Japanese group singers. Other than that, I know nothing about Japanese people. And I'm 18 too and I still watch cartoon too! Hell yeah, it's definitely humans' right!

RxRFannnn: *Phew* Totally relieved that you find the last chapter satisfying.

I'm home: Pee? What makes you think Raven wants to pee? Still, thanks for reviewing!

CHAPTER 6: Second Time Lucky

Okay, this is my second chance. This time, I have a script planned out in my head and I am not going to screw it up again.

With Michiyo's phone pressed to my ear, I revise my speech in my head again. A back-up speech for every Titan because you never know if the phone ends up in Starfire's or Beast Boy's hand (again). In the meantime, Michiyo decides to give me some 'privacy' by going off to wash the flask and bowl after I explained what I plan to do.

"Hello?"

The voice coming off the phone immediately sends my heart into a panic lurch and the heart monitor goes wild again. With the monitor screaming off the hook, I can hardly make out the talking in the phone.

'Hello?" Beep! "I-" Beep! "What-" Beep! "-noise?" Beep! "-something wrong-" Beep! "-phone-" Beep!

Frustrated, I tug the wires off my body once again. Mental note to self: Never talk on the phone with an annoying heart monitor attached to your body when you can't even command your heart to calm down.

"Hello?"

I take a deep breath, "Robin?"

"Speaking," he says which is later followed by a loud sneeze.

Okay, it's now or never. "Right now, I want you to stay silent and listen to what I have to say. Do you get me, Dick Grayson?"

"Who is this?"

"I'll tell you that later."

"How do you know my name? Tell me who you are!" Typical of Robin to get all

jumpy when his identity is exposed.

"Don't worry, I'm not some villain who's going to threaten to expose your real identity by broadcasting it on national television to the world if you don't pay me a million bucks by midnight," I say rather calmly.

I receive a silence as a reply except for the sound of Robin breathing heavily down the phone. I continue, "Your name is Dick Grayson. You used to work as a sidekick for Batman or should I say, the Gotham's famous millionaire, Bruce Wayne?"

"How in the-"

"I've entered your mind once when you were convinced that Slade has returned from the dead after being tossed into the lava by Terra. That's also how I know your name and one of Bruce's darkest secret."

I pause for a respond, realising Robin is holding his breath now. I continue, "During the end of the world, when all hopes were lost, you gave me hope that nothing is impossible. We defeated Trigon. You-"

"Who are you? How do you know these?" Robin finally cuts in.

"The answer is right in front of you, Robin."

"But…" there's uncertainty in his voice, "…you can't be-"

"If you need more convincing, I can-"

"That's not really necessary but-"

"Then are you saying your ears are deceiving you?"

"NO!" I can sense he's losing his cool now.

"Then tell me," I say, determined, "who do you think I am?"

Silence engulfs us as I wait for his answer, a glimmer of hope in my heart while I pray hard that he knows the answer.

"Those stuff you just said, it's supposed to be a secret. Private. A special bond I shared only with a very good friend. She can't have told you." he says quietly. "It's not possible that you're her either…"

"Then again, I can be her."

"Raven," he finally brings himself to say my name, "is this really you?"

I smile, "Hello, Boy Wonder."

I can hear him laughing in disbelief, "Oh my God, this is…so impossible! Raven, is this really, really you? For real?"

"If you want to believe it's for real."

"Holy crap! G-Get out of town! I think the flu is really getting to my head!"

"Seriously, Robin, after my amazing and really convincing speech, you still doubt

yourself?"

"That's not it!" he says. "It's just that you…you don't sound like Raven."

Looks like I have some explaining to do. "That," I say, "is another long, complicated story."

"Tell me."

"You think you can handle it?"

"Try me."

"If you say so." Therefore, I tell him everything from scratch from the coma to the fans to Michiyo to the horrible discovery to my attempt in convincing Beast Boy on the phone ("Oooh, so you're that 'jackass' BB was referring to just now!"). After all the explaining, I am literally panting. Man, if only there's a jug of water here. I wait for a respond only to be greeted by silence of shock. I guess it's understandable considering there's so much to absorb.

"Robin?"

"Wow," he blows his nose, "this is absolutely…insane!"

"Tell me about it."

He sneezes, "Excuse me, sorry about that."

"Now when does the Boy Wonder ever get down with a flu?"

"Hey, I'm human too, you know?" he lets out a relaxed laugh. "It's great to finally hear from you again, Raven, even though you don't sound exactly like… you."

"Don't remind me," Lee's voice breathes into the phone.

"I miss you."

I nearly drop the phone, a hot blush making its way up my cheeks. That is so…unexpected. He misses me. Strangely, I can feel my heart leaping with joy. For a minute there I feel like blurting out that I miss him. I clear my throat awkwardly before saying in a low voice, "You're dead if Starfire hears that."

I almost said I miss him. Almost.

For three seconds, Robin falls into an uncomfortable silent- making me wonder if I should apologize for what I just said- before letting out a weird sounding laugh through his runny nose, "Nah, she's not that possessive. Besides, she's off with Cyborg and Beast Boy now to save the city, without me this time."

Something he said sends a sudden shiver down my spine. The dreaded question is now haunting me. "Robin," my voice shaking, "I need to know something."

Noticing my change of tone, he too becomes concern, "What is it?"

"What happen to me as Raven?"

Again, there's the unbearable silence. Robin blows his nose loudly and I realise he is avoiding the question.

"Do I still exist in the Titans' life?"

He blows his nose again. "Is Raven dead?"

He blows his nose louder. "TELL ME, God damn it! TELL ME NOW!"

I slam my fist onto the table and the phone jumps. He stops blowing. Tears now burning in my eyes because the answer is so obvious. I already know what is coming next.

"I'm sorry," his voice shakes and that's all I need to know.

"Then how?"

"What do mean?"

"How did it happen?" I ask fiercely, unable to bring myself to say the dreadful word.

"Y-You don't remember?"

"How did it happen?" I repeat my question.

"You… were killed," he says meekly, showing no signs of going into detail.

"Explain," I urge him.

He shifts the phone, clearly uncomfortable, "You got shot straight through the chest by Red X. A fatal shot. It was…a horrible time for us." Even when I can't see the expression on his face here, I can sense him saying through gritted teeth, "I'll never forgive X for what he done."

Great. To think that I might at least have died a hero but no! I have to die in the hand of a common thief. And of all the common thieves it has to be Red X! What a way to die, Raven.

"Was there a funeral?"

"Yes, all the Titans came. You-"

"Robin," I interrupt, trying to sound as calm as possible even though my voice is betraying me. "You need to get my body back. I need my body back."

"Raven, I-I-" I am not sure if I am liking the tone of his voice. "I'm sorry, I don't think that's possible."

"Wha-What do you mean? Why not?"

"I-"

"WHY NOT?"

"Because!" he yells and I immediately fall silent, my trembling free hand gripping on a fistful of blanket. "Because…during your funeral…we burnt your body and released your ashes into the sea outside Titans tower."

Before I can stop myself, I break down and cry.

Summary for Chapter 7: Raven may be somewhere floating in the sea in ashes but the real Raven is crying her heart out in a body that doesn't belong to her as Robin tries his best to comfort her (He tries!). So what's next for her? (Okay, suck at summary so sue me!)

Author's Note: WOW! That's all I can say. The moment I wrote how much I hunger for MORE REVIEWS, the reviews just kept coming! And I swear I didn't stalk other readers or writers and demand them to review my story. Totally innocent. All those reviews totally MADE MY DAY!

Thanks you soooo much for the reviews. I love you guys and you guys are totally the reason why I want to write more each there. Okay, I know this chappie is SHORT (RxRFannn, please don't mad) but it's the only way to end the chap with a cliffhanger. Okay, and I know it SUCKS!

And about the Raven Met Lee disaster, I have been really thing hard about it and in the end, I don't know how to write something like that without turning this whole story into a dumb, stupid story. But still...

READ, REVIEW, READ, REVIEW, READ, REVIEW! Keep em' coming people! :)

I'm starting school tomorrow *groan* so updating is going to be a problem. So, I'm really, really hoping that when I do get the free time to pop in and check out the reviews, there will at least be 10 waiting *crosses fingers* (I can dream, can't I?)

R&R! Love you guys! xoxo (Have you tell your mum how much you love them yet? If you haven't, get your butt of that chair and give her a big smooch on the cheek before reviewing. Mum always come first! Make her feel special, guys!)

P.S: Happy Mother's Day to all mums out there. To my mum, I love you forever and always. I'll make you proud one day, I promise. *kiss and hug*

P.P.S: BIG CONGRATULATIONS to all the reviewer who guessed that Robin would pick up the phone but like I said, "NO PRIZE for those who guessed right" because I am too poor to buy any. Until I become I popular best-selling author, I guess you'll have to wait for that prize. Muahahaha! (Just kidding!)
