Someone please add Sonic sounds to this. Maybe a Batman noise too.

Silly little thing

My headcanon is that the robins (Tim, Steph and Damian ) never have Bruce Wayne, always have Batman. Because after Jason Dead he devotes himself to his mission.

I love the angst

i think my fave cass moment is after her first fight with shiva where she loses because she can’t read body language and she wakes up in the ambulance with a broken collarbone, ribs, and arm. and then she escapes the ambulance by bodily throwing herself out of it (after breaking the poor EMTs wrist) with 0 other plan, has an ah shit moment immediately after as she then proceeds to slam her entire body on the windshield of a cop car (breaking it), and then ends up as a smear on the road afterward. she then goes great! i only broke more ribs. this is fine. in complete seriousness. and then goes hunting through the city half naked with bandages all over probably bruised to hell to go find shiva again because she absolutely refuses to lose a fight. cassandra cain i need to study you like a bug

I love my creature daughter

#I want to believe Barbara is possessive over Bruce the same way Katniss was possessive over Buttercup#like 'I hate you but you're important for someone I love so ig I'll have to keep you alive since you're clearly incapable of doing it#yourself' kinda way

lol! I love this, but I like to believe that Babs is more possessive of him like the way Sam Wilson is protective over Bucky Barnes-

'I might talk shit about him all the live long day, but you better shut your fat mouth up about him before I beat your head in with a brick' type of stuff

Because she is, or was, depending on which run you're looking at, his very first, even before Dick, child, the one he first had to train and look out for and scold, even though he couldn't because she has a father and is very stubborn, like him, and is also scary dangerously smart and determined and yeah

Their relationship means so much to me because he's not her dad, or her guardian, she has a dad and doesn't need a new one, but he's dad shaped and has a really good relationship with her father, plus is her boyfriends dad, and he was her mentor, he tried to keep her off the streets and still does, but because he loves her, he was willing to kill the Joker for her (hush) and is as dedicated to the fight as she is

I think they have such a pure good relationship because she's not one of his kids, she's rather just an annoying friend that happens to be his first child that he can't control(not that he can control the others but i digress) and just... yeah

Bruce getting injured on a mission- not like I’m going to die injured but enough that he’ll need a few days to recover- and doesn’t get away in time before the JL or the GCPD if you want extra flavor, shows up, and everything is fine, but then Batman just… collapses.

And they’re freaking out and calling a medic and whatever. And no one is really paying attention to Robin. Until they try to move Batman into an ambulance, or carry him away, or take off his mask. Then he goes fucking feral. All of a sudden there’s this phantom on top of the bats chest, two batarangs held up in both hands, hissing, in a crouch, slashing at anything that tries to get close. And they can’t separate him from the bat, no matter how hard they try. Until Batgirl shows up. And she, honestly, doesn’t help either. She ties up some loose ends that Batman hadn’t managed, but acts just as feral and possessive if someone takes a step towards him. Robin is calmer, marginally, at least not waving batarangs around, and is instead sitting on Batman’s chest, watching everyone warily. And before anyone can do anything more, the two of them lift him and are gone, as much the myth as most Gothamites still believe them to be. 

Or… they manage to get Batman to the hospital/med bay, but Robin refuses to leave the room, stalking the doorway or sitting at his side, watching everyone with suspicious eyes. The others try to lock him into a game of uno, but he doesn’t focus, he’s twitchy and antsy, and can’t seem to sit still for very long before he’s back at Batman’s side. And then Batman wakes, a few hours later, and robin fucking transforms. Where he had been hissing and biting mere minutes earlier, now he’s smiling so wide it’s blinding, giving spontaneous high fives to people, though he still doesn’t stray too far from Batman’s side. And it’s then that everyone realizes who exactly Batman is. Not his secret identity, they aren’t there yet, but a father. His father to be exact. Before they thought it was some weird internship, maybe a team up, the way Batman and batgirl seemed to be. But not them. Not Batman and Robin. Because Batman holds the boy close, and kisses his forehead, and when they leave finally, Robin is holding his hand.

Me: explaining Batman, the Robins, the Batfam, and how they all entered Bruce’s life

My bestie: so it’s basically the cat allocation system but with vigilante children

Me: …….yes

Bruce (over comms): Status report?

Cassandra: The threat has been neutralized, Bruce, and you owe us a chai.

Stephanie: Jee, I like it when he says 'status report' like that, it makes me feel like we're in Star Wars and I'm a Rebellion pilot. Bruce, don't you think I'd make a good combat flyer for de résistance?

Bruce: You don't have the stomach for high-pressure situations.

Stephanie: ...

Dick: Bruce!

Jason: Harsh.

Tim: well, if she didn't want a brutally honest answer, why did she ask Bruce of all people?

Damian: Fair, Father. Put Fatgirl in her place.

Bruce, realizing his mistake upon being praised by Damian: On the other hand, Stephanie, you make great momos.

Cassandra: Bruce, she is in tears.

Bruce: That kind of proves my poi—

Stephanie (tearfully over comms): Oh SHUT UP!

Everyone in this fandom always assumes that because Cass doesn't talk much she must be a good listener, but Cassandra Cain-Wayne is nothing if not living proof that just because somebody's not interrupting you does not mean they find your small talk interesting.

Batman/Superman: World's Finest #34 - "Good Boys" (2024)

written by Mark Waid art by Fran Galan

giving myself the content dc refuses to give me

[provecfy]

I have a head canon that Cass is afraid of animals

Not deadly afraid or a paralyzing fear or anything too terrible (she did fight and earned the respect of a pack of wolves that one time), just slightly unsettled by them

Because she's so used to looking at a person and knowing exactly what they are feeling or going to do and sometimes even why, when or how, that she isn't used to animals, who have a completely different and sometimes contradictory body language

She's hanging out on the park with Steph one day when someone stops to play with their dog in front of them, and Cass subtly grabs Steph's sleeve in nervousness because the dog has a tension on his leg that indicates eagerness but she doesn't know if it's playfulness or aggression, and it's also panting with his tongue out which is supposed to indicate exhaustion on humans but the dog hasn't done anything yet so it must mean something else she's not getting and also what the fuck is the body language for tails-

So Steph snaps her out of it, and in order to calm her down asks the dog owner if her friend can pet the dog, which immediately sends Cass into a panic because "wait Steph what the fuck no I'm scared of it this is betrayal-", and the dog happily trots over to them (although Cass doesn't know this is how a happy dog acts so she's terrified), and Steph tells her a dog wags their tail when they are happy, she pets the dog and after a few moments Cass manages to pet it too

Ok, so rapid tail-wagging in animals means happiness or playfulness, fucking great, Cass totally has this, she's going to get a good grade in animal body language reading, which is a completely normal skill to have or want. So she's walking around the manor and Alfred the cat (who has escaped Dick's arms after being snuggled by him against his will) walks by her, wagging his tail rapidly. Cass bends down to pet him and promptly gets her hand scratched, which makes her jump eight feet into the air and run to the closest sibling to explain her traumatizing experience, after which Damian tells her cats wag their tail when they are unhappy or annoyed and-

And-

What the fuck?-

So each animal species has different tells??? Is she the only one who finds this both upsetting and unsettling???

Do you know how hard it is to understand people when she can literally read their emotions on their bodies? How can she manage to understand and interact with animals if she doesn't even have that? Fuck that, she's staying well away from any animal if not on life or death situations
