#You can have them be WFA friendly if you want I guess now that Jason has been so thoroughly defanged

One fun element of pre N52 Jason and Cass never getting to interact is that there's no specific canon for how they would feel about each other. We know how Cass feels about Dick and Tim and we got to see her meet and bond with Damian. But with Jason that complete lack of canon material means that people can do so much with it. You can have her try to stop him from being a murderer with a ton of attempted reaching out and understanding a la Alpha in batgirl 2000 or you can have him trigger so much of her own personal issues that she projects too much on him and after their first meeting doesn't end well she just. Constantly tries to punch him in the face when she sees him. You can have Jason try and reach out to her because he's curious and open to this new family member or you can have him despise her on sight because of everything he's heard about her being like a mini Bruce. There's no one true way to write them because they're both capable of reacting in multiple different ways to the same scenario based on small circumstancial changes. The only guarantee is that it would be messy and at least one of them would probably get pissed off at some point. But who's holding the asshole baton that day and who's just trying to rise above their annoying sibling provoking them is entirely up to you. It's fun! I enjoy that about them.

Let them butt heads! Let them both be right but dickheads about it!
