    Summary

    Cass thinks back upon her actions on a recent mission, and regrets it all.

    You could be reared by David Cain, and trained as Batgirl, and not recognize the intense self-loathing and the slipper slope fallacy when your own mind commands it.

    Summary

    Cassandra Cain's life was dictated by a handful of facts. First, that her father had placed a curse of obedience on her when she was just a baby. Second, that she was on the run from him and could never let herself be caught. Third, that she was a murderer. And fourth, that she would never kill again.

    But when she stumbles upon her father in the wreckage that was Gotham after the earthquakes turned it into a lawless no man's Land, all but the first of these things ceased to matter. How could they matter when Jim Gordon's life was on the line? And while Batman seemed to think that he could save everyone, Cass knew better than to expect salvation for herself.

    She just needed to keep her curse a secret for long enough to save the commissioner's life. Even if it meant giving her life to do so.

    _____

    An exploration of Cass's origin story set in a world where her silence is instead a symptom of a curse of obedience.

    Summary

    Oneshots focusing on Babs and Cass and their complex, ever-evolving relationship.

    Chapter 1: Cass is struggling with reading, and when she asks Babs to read to her, Oracle is delighted to oblige. Reading sessions with Babs start becoming a regular thing...and Cass starts having a little fun with her family.

    Updated w/ Chapter 2: Babs is paralyzed from the neck down and having flashbacks to the worst night of her life, but she refuses to let a little thing like that stop her. Cass is marching off to die and Babs is going to do everything she can to save her.

    “I…I don’t know how to do this,” Babs admitted, hating how her voice shook. “ What have I gotten myself into, Dinah? I keep failing her."

    “You’re raising a traumatized former child assassin who used to be completely isolated from the world. I think you’re doing okay.”

    Summary

    It made her feel strong and trusted when Batman asked her to protect Gotham while he chased Mr. Freeze and Scarecrow to Hong Kong. ("The League took a vote," Tim had told her while he, Dick, and Alfred were preparing to go with Bruce. "They decided that Gotham villains are Batman's responsibly even if they aren't in Gotham. Especially when the villains team up.”) Now she feels bored.

    When everyone else is occupied, Cass is left alone to protect Gotham. Between juggling trying out having a childhood, grieving Steph, and keeping the manor in order, she has a lot on her plate. A journalist trying to figure out who's living at Wayne Manor while Bruce is away and a trigger-happy rising crime lord don't help matters.

    Summary

    After a much careful investigation as she cross-check various clues, she now completed three cases of meta-trafficking rings, one of them involving children kidnapped from Gotham all the way to Metropolis. Looks like Jason is going to have a field day with this one.

    To be fair, how the fuck did Superman did not noticed a literal trafficking area hidden under his city? Under his nose?

He’s lived through too much during the past couple years to be surprised by anything, not even a teenager seeking sanctuary with him. Does he have time to deal with that between home renovations and running a criminal empire? Probably not. But when has Jason Todd ever backed down from a challenge?

    Summary

    Outside the furthest bounds of Gotham, in a wooded area thick with tall pines and leafy maples, lies an unmarked grave.

    To call it a grave is misleading. It is surrounded by dying, shriveled bushes shaded brown to orange behind a dried up stream of foul-smelling, brackish mud. Instead of a tombstone or marker, a mound of disturbed dirt is overlaid by a single, large rock rounded into an oval and conquered by moss. No funeral home was willing to take the body.

    One month and twenty-two days after Tim’s murder, The Joker was gunned down in an abandoned corner of Amusement Mile. Today, Cass decided to visit his resting place.

    Cassandra Cain has two different conversations with two different people, nine whole years apart.

    Summary

    "Hey, spooky, have you seen the green pan?" Steph asks turning around. There is blood slowly trickling down her neck from a large deep gash. A deathly pallor setting into the tone of her skin. How is she not reacting? Cass blinks and the blood steeps away. Oh right that's right, it's not real.
