#jason cass twin theory

[dyketectivecomics]

While it’s fresh on my brain: the thing that rlly gets me about the Jason-Cass twin theory is the fact that if it were true, the one who was raised without knowledge of his legacy ended up being the one to follow in his parents footsteps, while the one who was raised with the expectation of following said legacy completely rejected her destiny. And THATS why I’m gonna risk it all to make it a thing when I break into detective comics comics

My headcanons about Tim Drake, Cassandra Cain, and Stephanie Brown that are very special to me:

(this is are new earth versions of the characters, things are messy)

- Tim and Cass have the psychic twin bond

- Tim and Steph are messy exes but Cass and Steph are divorced

- Tim and Cass low-key think the reason Steph hangs out with Damian so much is to annoy them. This is obviously not true but they can’t think of any other reason.

- They are all obviously super smart and work very well in any duo, but when all three of them are together they become incredibly stupid.

- Cass is convinced Steph would never kill anyone, Tim thinks she would but he would probably be okay with it depending on the context, Steph hasn’t thought about it because no one’s asked

- Steph feels like she’s crazy because people think she’s dating Bruce’s kids on purpose when really she dated Tim and had her “thing” with Cass before they were adopted. Her theory is that Bruce is trying to give her money by adopting whoever she dates so she’ll marry into the family, she now lives in fear because the last thing she wants is to be a Wayne.

- Tim and Cass both think that Steph is mad at them because they don’t see her anymore. In reality they both just left Gotham long enough for her to find her footing without relying on them, so when they return she doesn’t actively follow them around. Steph knows they think she’s avoiding them but doesn’t have the energy to explain that if they wanted to hang out they could literally just text her and ask.

- The three of them combined (Red Robin, Black Bat, and Batgirl) actually make the “perfect” super hero. Red Robin is a genius, great planner, good with tech, and has leadership skills. Black Bat is the best martial artist, can read body language, is incredibly devoted to “the mission” and is highly empathetic. Batgirl never gives up, is friendly and approachable to the public, has a is great with puzzles and riddles, and is the best with crowd control. Literally all the bases are covered… too bad they have a far too complicated past for them to realize this and work together without weird tension.

- They all think Barbara Gordon is the coolest person in the world.

- They also all think that Jason Todd is incredibly annoying, but they each have different reasons for it. Tim because he beat him up at Titans Tower, Cass because he’s a murderer, and Steph just thinks he’s a “whiny bitch”

[aingeal98]

this might be a stupid question and i dunno if you're the right person to ask, but why does the batman fandom keep referring to tim and cass as twins? i feel like i'm missing something here

I can't speak for everyone but I think part of it is due to Tim being Robin for most of Cass's Batgirl tenure. Whenever there were family moments the two of them would be given small matching panels or working in tandem together. They were the "kids" of the squad for a decent amount of years. They're Batgirl and Robin which are equal roles and they're also siblings with only two years age difference. Combine that with Tim's Red Robin era floppy hair for jokes about how he's going to grow it out even more so they look like twins

And also their shenanigans during their time in Bludhaven and how writers like to throw in sweet moments like this of them being in sync

And you get the Cass and Tim are twins agenda. Unlike the Jason and Cass are twins agenda which is based on theories about Jason's bio mom and how close he and Cass are in age, the Tim and Cass are twins agenda is just pure vibes based. They're Batgirl and Robin they're the two little shadows popping out behind batman's cape, and unlike any of the other batgirl and robin dynamics, they're actually siblings who are close in age. Boom, flawless logic.

Honestly to me Cass is very clearly the older sister due to how she's always ready to jump in and defend anyone who tries hurting Tim. And how she was written as more experienced in general due to well... Her whole life of experiences. But they don't look vastly different in age so I understand the twins argument more than I would for say, Damian and Steph.

Another few things I'd say added to it is fandom's fondness for long haired Red Robin era Tim and also headcanoning him as East Asian, to the point where some people genuinely believe he's canonically mixed in the comics. Add them all together and you get a funny joke based on small moments from the comics turned into a widespread meme.

Fanfic Rambles

Jason Todd with long hair AU. #MistakenIdentityAU #TwinAU #EverybodyLovedJasonTodd

Was daydreaming and thought of a funny little prompt about Jason after coming back from the dead and becoming the red hood (but before all the bat drama like beating Tim or yknow, tryna kill everyone) he runs into Dick while in his civilian form and the other in his Nightwing getup.

Naturally, Dick sees a guy with a similar face to his dead little brother, but buffer and taller than he could have ever gotten because of his malnourished state growing up. Sees all his scars which HIS Jason never had. The white streak in the hair, green eyes, AND lets not forget the long hair.

He sees all this and comes to the conclusion that this isn't his Jay but either a doppelganger, clone, hallucination- OR twin. But the possibility of it actually being Jason Todd doesn't even cross his mind. Because from his memory, Jason would have never willingly adorned long hair. After all, he made it known of his distaste for his own long hair back in his Discowing era.

(Little did he know that Jason loved his hair INCLUDING his Discowing suit, and that he only made fun of it because he was a little kid who didn't wanna show that he admired his big brother who didn't exactly wanna be his big brother at the time. So he made sure to make fun of him at every opportunity, ESPECIALLY, his hair. Because in truth the hair was his favorite part about the outfit. Somehow, everybody fell under the illusion that he did in fact hate the hair the most, including Alfred.)

Jason seeing Nightwing is like, shit, I was found out already. He begins panicking in his head only for Nightwing to pluck a piece of his hair and run back into the shadows (off to go confirm his theories- the one about it possibly being a hallucination already crossed off with the physical evidence in his hands)

Later on the DNA test comes back with it not fully being Jason (lets just say its due to the Lazarus pit plus a side effect of dying and coming back to life) and he comes to the conclusion that he's a long lost twin and goes to tell the other bats about the newest addition to the family (they're not giving him a choice in the matter of course).

(Random scene I thought of in this AU but it takes place once it's revealed that Jason is actually just Jason- not his twin, duh -and everybody loves each other.)

"You know, you're really good at this"

Stephanie says as she sits on the ground in front of the couch, with Jason behind her brushing through her hair. Her eyes are closed in content as the older boy runs his fingers through her scalp, gently brushing each blond strand with practiced ease.

Jason scoffs, his own hair tied back into a half up and half down style.

"Of course I am."

Cass plops herself next to Jason on the couch and stares at him with a mostly blank but hopeful expression. Jason rolls his eyes.

"Yeah yeah, you're next you weirdo. Wait your turn."

"What about me Jay?" Dick whines from across the room where he sits with Duke at his side and Damian on the other, drawing in his sketchbook with Alfred the cat and Titus laying on his lap. Damian looks up and sends his brother a look of disgust.

"Must you act so childish Richard?" Dick just laughs and ruffles the boys hair.

"Don't act like that Dami, I saw you sneaking them glances too!", the boy turns red at this, "I'm sure Jay will love to brush your hair too"

"Yeah Damian, I'm sure Jason would just love to brush through your wittle soft hair" Tim adds in teasingly from his place on another single couch, with his phone in one hand and his body lazing about with his legs dangling over the armrest. Duke sends Dick a look, the two aware of what will naturally follow.

Damian lets out a strangled noise before pouncing on the older boy, the two wrestling on the ground while Dick watches with a look of fondness.

They've come a long way from this sort of scene being something worrying, but now just the show of two brothers playfully fighting. No real harm actually being done.

Jason just sighs.

"You know what- yeah, not like you're all vigilantes and trained to bare getting shot and stabbed but will whine over having a turn to get your hair brushed. Nah, whatever, it's totally normal, I mean cope however you want I guess..."

Everyone just gives him wide eyed innocent looks, though many were suspiciously hiding a grin there.

Tim stares a bit from his place being pinned down by his little brother (who is being told by Dick to get off now) and Jason once again rolls his eyes.

"Yes, including you replacement" The boy smiles, bright and wide, and when did the nickname become something said out of warmth instead of the previous jealousy?

"Well Master Jason, I feel as if someone else is feeling a bit left out" Alfred says as he places a plate full of snacks on the coffee table.

Stephanie looks up at the elder, and then looks at the mans head with a dubious face.

"Uhm, I didn't know you'd be into this Alfie" The man in question deadpans at the girl.

"I wasn't talking about myself unfortunately, I fear that the I'm quite lacking in the department needed for this activity."

"Don't worry Alfie, I feel your pain from here" Duke says, with his own deadpan. Steph winces and whispers my bad. Cass giggles at the exchange.

Someone else muffles a snort, which then follows up with the clear sound of getting hit by something (or someone).

Alfred simply tilts his head in a direction, which Jason finds is the door hiding a shadow there. Watching.

He huffs a breath, and for the millionth time rolls his eyes.

"B, if you wanted to have your hair brushed then you coulda come in here and said so like a normal person. I swear, you guys all got your lack of communication skills from him"

"Not me!" Stephanie makes known with a triumph look.

"Me neither" Dick says, but earns raised brows from everyone in the room. "Okay, never mind then" he takes back his words with slumped shoulders, Duke jokingly patting his back in comfort as the older man pouts.

"I..." Bruce who has finally exited the shadows, reveals himself in casual sweats and the most dad-sweater to ever dad.

"I'd like that a lot chum"

Jason just huffs out a laugh.

"You're all terrible, I hate you guys and hope you all die."

Everybody simply smiles at him.

"We love you too Jay" Dick says with clear affection in his eyes.

Jason just returns to his previous actions of tying the blond teens hair, styling it to his best ability.

"I mean it, twice over"

Bruce sits on the other side of Jason and ruffles his hair.

"Of course, son"

[dyketectivecomics]

Okay, to add to the Jason-Cass twin theory fire I just wanna propose the idea that the Reason why Shiva offered to train Tim in that Robin miniseries was bc she Instantly knew that (costume change aside) he wasn’t the Same Boy who confronted her months ago abt being her son. (If ur expanding this to an AU we can throw in something abt rumors she heard but didn’t want to believe abt Jason dying, connect the dots btwn that and her showing up to a motivation of having to find out for herself. Throw in some Humor™️ with her seeing that Tims style is COMPLETELY unrefined & taking Offense that this boy following after her son is Clearly Lacking lmao)

Idk, I just think it’s funny that the last time in Bat-continuity you see Shiva is when Bruce and Jay are asking if she’s Jay’s mom, and the very NEXT time is her crossing paths with Tim. And idk, I’m a Sucker for a good twin story too so aksjak

[thy-valhallen]

Lmao that adds to the bit, honestly, I'd forgotten about that. Imagine this happens after Cass joins the family and they've been joking about being twins for years, and then the Shiva theory comes up and Jason goes silent, staring at the wall trying to compute that... then finding out it's not true and just hugging Cass

"It's okay, sis. We don't have to be related to be twins."

Cass, pointing at Jason: we're twins

Tim:

Jason: *6'3" 200 lbs of Latino rage and muscle*

Cass: *5'1" 120 lbs of Chinese murder and love*

Tim:

Tim: you're just not

Cass, patting his shoulder: it's okay. easy mistake. we're fraternal twins

Jason, holding up a gun: yep. twins.

Tim: ... good for you

Cass: :D

[aeligsido]

Roommate AU and Accidental Eavesdropping with Cass and whichever other batkid you'd like, please and thank you my dear :pleadinghearts:

Hiiii dear thank you so much!!! The list is here for anyone interested!

SO i would totally do this for a No Capes AU, first of all.

NOW... Plz imagine, Cass and Jason, same age (Cass is older by some months as usual), going to college together. Maybe it's a coincidence, maybe it's not, but they end up going to the same college so they decide to be roommates.

I feel like there would be so much shenanigans. A few includes:

- Jason rambles endlessly about the books he has to read, his assignments, etc, and Cass pretends to be annoyed but secretly she loves it.

- Cass bullies Jason into making her food at random times. Like, very random times. Jason woke up sometimes with Cass looking at him and being like "i want food" (yes, like a cat. Absolutely. Cass is the cat Jason hasn't asked for).

- Jason takes the habit of making snacks for Cass for whenever she's hungry (and so she'll stop waking him up, he needs his beauty sleep).

- One time Jason brought a fellow student to their apartment bc they had to work on an assignment together, and Cass kept flirting with her the whole time. Jason has never been more embarrassed and horrified in his life before. (Cass ended up dating this girl for a few months)

- and the most important shenanigan that neither of them realize exists: no one on the campus knows they know each other.

Like, I picture them having very different interests and groups of friends, and they never really talk to each other on the campus, and not a lot of people come to their apartment either... So no one knows they're roommates, even less that they're siblings.

I would totally use the eavesdropping as like... 5 times Cass ears someone talks about Jason and 1 time it was said at her, and 5 times Jason ears someone talks about Cass and 1 time it was said at him. They probably just hear so many rumors about each other and find that extremely funny.

I also kind of want people to realize they know each other and from then on the theories go wild. Especially when people realize Cass and Jason live at the same place. It confuses so many people.

Also the big revelation is probably when they're near the end of their studies tbh, bc it's even more fun. Something like:

Random Student finally realizing Cass and Jason have the same last name: Wait... You're siblings?

Jason, deadpan: We're twins. Duh.

Before leaving dramatically the scene with Cass, bc of course they would do that.

Anyway it's just Jason and Cass being comfy roommates at college but being absolute cryptids on the campus, that's all difuvh.

To Marry a Vigilante: Part 9

------------

The Gala. The Wayne Gala. The Wayne New Year’s Gala. The Wayne Gala to celebrate the New Year.

“I can’t do it!” Marinette screamed. “What if I trip and fall on Mr. Wayne and then he will break his leg!? Or what if I accidentally babble something I’m not supposed to and make it a disaster!? Or what if Lila makes a mess and I get blamed for it in front of thousands of people!?” She started breathing heavily. “Or maybe I’ll just look awkward and people decide that I’m useless and Mr. Wayne decides that I should leave Damian to spare him the embarrassment?! I can…” Tikki slapped Marinette when she didn’t respond to any of her pleas.

“Marinette! Breathe.” The Kwami instructed her. 

“Sorry Tikki. I’m really nervous. I know that making the announcement today is the best option since we’re starting school soon and the news would break anyway, but it’s just so… I’m not used to all that.” 

“I know Marinette. But you must accept that your beloved lives in these circles and you must respect some of the needs. He’s changing for you, but you can’t just demand he abandon his old life.” 

“I know… I really want to make this work. He… I know I can trust him like nobody else. Even… even you… I love you, but you’re not…”

“Human?”

“Yes! I’m sorry Tikki. You’re still my partner and my best friend. Don’t tell that to Chloé though.”

“My lips are sealed.” The kwami giggled. “You’re my favorite chosen too, Marinette. You have the true creation inside you.”

“Thanks, Tikki.”

“Not get on and show them what you’re made of!” The little goddess cheered. 

“Yes! I’m going to rock! I’m great!” The girl said confidently and put on the purple mask with golden lines. 

-------

Damian waited impatiently for his beloved to come. The guests were already filling in and his father and brothers went to greet them. Tom and Sabine, dressed in their MDC original outfits, were already on the dance floor, showing everyone that they could still move even in their forties. Cass was probably somewhere with Bourgeois, stealing cookies or something. The two seemed to bond over being the third wheel and treating Sabine like their new mother. 

“Wassup Dames?” A voice startled him and Damian whirled around with a punch that stopped an inch from Jon’s nose. 

“Tt. Aren’t you supposed to be downstairs? With the guests?” He grumbled. 

“Nah. Mom and Dad are with your dad, going over the safe questions to ask your wi…” Jon didn’t get to finish that word because Damian lunged at him and covered his mouth. 

“Tt. Shut up. The last thing I need is drama caused by your big mouth.” 

*muffled sounds*

“I don’t care. Mouth shut or I’ll test the new Kryptonite dusters.”

*more muffled sounds*

“I did get them. Want me to try them out right now?” Jon shook his head. “Good. We’ve got an agreement?” A nod. “Fine.” Damian let him go.

“You’re very violent, you know that?”

“Tt. Shut up.”

“I’m just saying.” 

“I told you to…” Damian’s words died in his throat. Marinette entered the scene.

“Shall we?” She asked, handing him a sleek black mask with gold details. When light reflected from it, a very subtle purple gleam could be seen.

“It’s incredible, Habibti. Just like the rest of my suit.” He was dressed in a pure-black three-piece, a white shirt underneath, and had a black tie. He screamed style and power.

-------

All in all, the trip was not yet a disaster for Lila Rossi. Her lies were slowly taking root in the people around her. Like the clerk at the Hotel. Soon, she would have them all wrapped around her fingers. Only Maribrat and Chloé seemed to be completely immune to her charms. But that girl was too goody-two-shoes for her own good and Bourgeois was hated even before she started her work. 

There was also that exchange student, Grayson boy… Darren, Damien, something like that. She couldn’t believe she thought that guy was Damian Wayne when he first walked into her class. She went as far as stopping Alya from being mean to him. From her research, all Waynes were kind and helpful. Damian Wayne supposedly volunteered at an animal shelter. The press described him as ‘cute in a special way.’ Blasted Waynes and their no-pictures policy. The guy in her class looked a bit similar to Bruce Wayne, at least at first glance. Then, she noticed that his skin was darker (not just solar tan), his nose was a bit different too. And his eyes were green. It was the only constant with the Waynes. They all had dark hair and blue eyes.

As such, she dismissed him as unimportant and focused on her more important goals. Making a deal with Gabriel Agreste, or rather Hawkmoth, was risky. In the end, it worked out for her in many ways. She gained a foothold from which she made her small empire. And Agreste boy was nice arm candy for a while. Until he went all psycho on Maribrat that is.

Now if she found one of the Waynes, she could start working on worming her way in. Blasted masks! They appeared too good in the media not to have a big dirty secret to exploit. Blackmail wouldn’t be new for her. 

The Gala was slowly starting when all the lights turned off. Two stage flood lights focused on the stairs leading to the second floor of the manor. Two people appeared on them. First was a young man, about her age, dressed all black. He radiated money and influence and she was sure what he wore was in fact an MDC original. But he was nothing next to his companion.

Her dark-purple dress shone in the light like a thousand diamonds. It hugged her figure perfectly and while she was most likely the same age as her companion, she still looked stunning. The high collar was embroidered with a golden thread that formed intricate patterns around her slender neck. The sleeves went down to her arms where they seamlessly merged with gloves. The line was blurred by twin bracelets that each had a symbol of a bat with flowers. A nod toward the Bats of Gotham while keeping it original. From the waist down, it opened on the side, giving her the freedom to move while still keeping the near-royal appearance. With each step, it flowed slightly, revealing the golden underlining. Her legs were also covered with the same material down to ballet shoes in a deeper shade of purple finished with golden lining.

Her blue hair reached slightly beyond her shoulders and matched her eyes perfectly. All the gold and purple served to make everyone focus on her. 

Lila cursed under her breath. There was no chance anyone would notice her with someone like that parading around. Something had to be done. Lila checked her own dress. It was pretty, but when compared to that, it came plain. 

All her scheming came to the halt when the pair walked over to Bruce Wayne and got him to stop speaking with Gotham’s mayor. They knew him. A realization dawned on her. It was Damian Wayne and his date. They had to be. But his eyes… they were green. 

“No…” escaped the Liar’s lips. The woman she was talking to noticed and followed her gaze. Some part of Lila’s brain noticed she also checked her dress and was saddened. At least her reaction was not out of place. 

Bruce Wayne walked with the two back to the stairs where the stand with a microphone was prepared before the lights were turned back on. Sensing a juicy story, all the journalists and bloggers swarmed as close as possible. Some even lost their masks. 

“Can I have a moment of your attention?” The billionaire asked. His eyes swept over the crowd. “Before I start, I wanted to remind you that there is a strict no-photos policy on the gala. We’ve hired a photographer with an exclusive contract and any pictures taken not by him will be considered a breach and will be met with a lawsuit.” 

The murmurs broke all around the crowd. It was a known fact that taking unsolicited photos at Wayne Galas was forbidden. There was no need to remind anyone about it unless it was a really juicy piece. The last time Bruce Wayne took time to remind everyone about this was when Jason Todd turned out to be alive and well, only slightly amnesiac. 

“Now. First I wanted to welcome everyone to this year’s Gala. We’re closing another year and I thank everyone for showing up to celebrate with me and my family.” He raised a small glass of champagne. “In particular, I wanted to welcome a class from Paris that is participating in the year-long exchange program funded by the Thomas Wayne Education fund. I hope you enjoyed Gotham so far.” The journalists were frantically noting everything down. Either for publishing or just to put it in tabloids with some conspiracy theories. “Now, onto the main reason for the announcement. You know I’m not good at speeches.” He grinned and the crowd exploded into laughter. “Since my son just returned from Paris, I’m well aware that this news would break anyway when he returned to school. I ask you to respect their privacy and… well, at least try not to bother them. May I introduce Damian Wayne and his girlfriend, Marinette Dupain-Cheng.”

Everyone started to either whisper or frantically make notes and think of questions to ask. The fact that Damian Wayne, dubbed Ice Prince of Gotham, got himself a girlfriend serious enough to be introduced to everyone was already front-page news for many of them. Even just the dress she wore was front-page news. Any journalist that dabbled in celebrity fashion would recognize an MDC original by now, at least from Jagged Stone or Clara Nightingale. The two refused to even consider anything else. 

“Tt. Against my better judgment, I know that teenagers are walking gossip machines so you would all learn it the moment we entered Gotham Academy.” Damian started his speech. “As such, I want to clear any and all confusion before it can start. This,” he motioned at Marinette, “ is my girlfriend. We met in Paris and clicked immediately. I expect you to show her the same respect you show my family or I will challenge you to an honor duel.” 

Damian was not even trying to hide his distaste for journalists today. He could see that Marinette was uncomfortable with this attention even more than he was. He grew up used to attention while simultaneously being taught that newspapers were at best a propaganda tool and at worst trouble to be dealt with. Obviously, he disliked them, even more, when he became Damian Wayne. Usually, he tried to remain civil to the journalists unless they were irritating. Today, he didn’t bother. Not that they didn’t know he was a private person. A certain paparazzi with a blade going through his camera would attest to that. 

“Angel, do you want to answer their questions or should I?” He whispered.

“Um… shouldn’t you first tell them more?” 

“No. It’s better if I only answer what they want to know.” 

“Um… Maybe you start.” 

“Fine.” He turned back to the microphone. “I will be taking the first question.” He pointed at Clark who had his hand in the air. 

“Clark Kent, Daily Planet. Could you tell us more about how you met?” 

“I joined Marinette’s class for the exchange program my Father mentioned. The only free seat was next to her, so that’s where I sat. What got my attention first was her willingness to stand up to injustice and forgive those who slighted her. She was open-minded and didn’t back down even when I was… Ehm… a bit rude.” He admitted. “I managed to ask her out and she showed me the side of Paris you don’t usually see with a tour guide. We share a passion for drawing and she shared with me her favorite place in Paris. No, I won’t reveal it. After that, my respect for her only grew when she was willing to accept an apology from a girl that bullied her in the past, helping her actually change her ways. Next question?” He pointed at a different journalist. He really hoped he picked right. The masks were making it harder than he assumed. A flaw in their plan that they overlooked. 

“Vicky Vale, Gotham Gazette” The woman introduced herself and Damian resisted the urge to curse. His Father’s ex was not exactly the most favorable toward them after their breakup, even if she tried to stay professional. “What more can you tell us about the mysterious girl behind the mask? So far we know she’s from Paris and likes to draw, plus some traits.”

“May I answer this?” Mari asked Damian, thinking it was high time for her to step up and help. He nodded and stepped back so she had free access to the microphone. “Hi. I'm Marinette. Mostly, I’m just a normal girl with a normal life…” She started. What followed was quite a long introduction where she gave the press enough to satisfy them while keeping private the parts she wanted.

There were many more questions. About family, plans, dreams, etc. The young couple answered some while dismissed others as too personal and rude. Finally, after over an hour they ended the event and told those who would stay to move on with the gala while several journalists were removed. In total, ten photographic devices were confiscated and Chloé got the honors of handling everything with Tim. He was there for a technical site, she was there for intimidation. 

One of the particularly irritating paparazzi tried to argue, but then Chloé started to rant until he was cowering in the corner. Pretty much everyone around them was now glaring at him with a hateful gaze. After that, they mostly behaved. 

-------

“Well… that was exhausting. And it’s only ten pm?” Marinette and Damian were resting next to the snacks table. They were enjoying a moment of peace once the initial wave of well-wishers passed. Jason was keeping an eye on the class to make sure they were stopped from making anything worse for themselves and everyone else. So far they were too stunned to deal with it. He was pleased to see that Alix girl was finally doing something and pointing out many flaws in their reasoning. The problem was Lila disappeared in the crowd for the moment. Chloé was on the hunt though. She was a master of dealing with a rich crowd, probably surpassing even Drake. 

“Here you are!” A voice startled the couple. Marinette and Damian turned to see a group of four people. Jon was one of them. There was also a girl with blonde hair pulled into a long braid and a boy in a blue suit with medium-long black hair and blue eyes. The fourth one made Marinette’s blood run cold. Her eyes went wide and she acted before anyone caught the wind of it. A strong straight punch sent the boy looking like Adrien flying onto the ground. 

Chatter around them died in an instant. Marinette tried to lunge at him, but Jon caught her. He was probably the only one strong enough to hold her back. 

“Let me go! Don’t you see he is a criminal?!” She was doing her best to get out of his grip. Damian suddenly was holding the blade to the neck of the blonde boy. 

“You have five seconds to speak.” 

“I’m sorry, but I’m not my moronic cousin. Would you please let go of me?” He asked with a thick British accent. 

“Tt. Prove it.” Damian scoffed. 

“Ugh. I’m really tired of dealing with everyone taking me for a criminal just because I look like him. Ask my mother!” 

Indeed, a blonde woman in a gray dress was making her way through the crowd. “Felix sweetie!?” She kneeled next to him while glaring daggers at Damian and Marinette. Reluctantly, he took away the sword but didn’t put it away. Dick and Tim also arrived.

“What happened?”

“That twit attacked my Felix!” 

“Tt. He shows up and looks just like a known criminal. You should’ve really chosen something other than a black mask and a black suit.” Damian frowned. He didn’t exactly feel bad about the incident, but the press would jump on that.

“It’s alright mum. I admit I’m partially at fault. I forgot the reaction Parisians have to me right now.” He bowed his head. “Please accept my apologies.” His lower lip was bleeding.

“Um… here. Let me help you.” Marinette pulled a tissue from her pocket (of course her dress had pockets) and handed it to him. Nodding, he wiped the blood. 

“Tt. I’m still not convinced.” 

“Damian! That’s rude. I remember Felix. He was in Paris once.” Then, she mumbled under her breath. “Caused a triple akumatization.”

“I am sorry for that…” 

“Felix joined our class this year. You left the day before he came.” The blonde girl explained.

“It was all just one big misunderstanding folks. You can move on.” Dick took control of the crowd and allowed the teens some breathing space. Except that’s when the class finally decided to start speaking up. 

“Yeah right! Marinette is just a big bully! I’m in her class and she was mean to Lila from the beginning. I wouldn’t be surprised if she dated Damian Wayne just for money.” Alya had to babble. The rest of the class (minus Alix) was either nodding or giving their own confessions, real or not, and always against Marinette. 

So far the Waynes avoided any accusations about gold-digging. The one journalist that tried to pick up the subject (subtly at first) was silenced by Damian’s evil eye. Now more people murmured. And the number of people able to respond was greatly limited as Damian, Chloé, Jason, and Sabine had to be restrained from hurting people. 

To everyone’s surprise, it was Cass who jumped on the table.

“Shut…! Up!” She shouted. Or what stood for her shouting, which was only slightly louder than normal people’s speech. Still, it got everyone’s attention. “Cousin Nettie is… kind. Good. Sel… Selfless. She is my family. Not… digger.” She glared at several people that were still muttering. “Saw her… date with Damian. She did not let him pay. Not digger!” There was a dangerous edge in her voice. That was enough to shut people up. Except for the class. 

“Of course you would protect her!” Kim stared at her. “You’re probably…” He didn’t finish because Alix covered his mouth. The girl noticed that Bruce, who was restraining Jason Todd was about to let go. She wasn’t sure exactly what would happen, but she wasn’t willing to find out. 

“I think it’s time for you to leave. Where is your teacher/chaperone?” Bruce asked, also glaring at them.

“Um… Madame Bustier is…”

“Madame Cheng is right there!” Mylene pointed to where Tom was doing his best to stop his wife from grabbing the Bag and cutting the class into tiny pieces.

“I… I don’t think it would be healthy for us to go with her right now. She is very emotional right now.” Alix offered. She was trying to act like the voice of reason. Something this class lacked. 

The teacher was quickly located flirting with one of the musicians invited to the gala. She was completely unaware of what her charges did. 

“I’m sure it was just some misunderstanding. Marinette indeed started acting out a bit this year. They probably overexaggerated a bit.”

“Tt. You mean she stopped being a doormat?” Damian huffed. 

“As I said, it’s time for the kids to leave,” Bruce said in a harsh tone. 

“Oh… Okay. I’m sure Sab…” 

“Caline. You’re the one responsible for taking care of them. You’ll take them away when Mr. Wayne asks.” Tom then pointed at his wife, who he was holding a few inches above the ground to keep her from doing something stupid. 

“Um… Of course.” The teacher sighed. “Kids. Gather your things. We must leave.” 

As they were walking out, people applauded. After Alfred closed the doors behind them it was finally safe to let the more violent part of the family free. In all that mess, nobody noticed that a certain sausage-haired girl was not with them

“Now, Wayne.” The blonde started. “Want to explain why we had to learn about you having a girlfriend from a press conference?”

“Or why did Jon know her before us?” The boy added. 

“I would also appreciate hearing how my bloody cousin earned your ire,” Felix added. 

“Oh! Sorry.” The girl turned to Marinette. “I’m Allegra and this is Claude. You already know Jon and Felix. We’re Damian’s friends. Or the closest thing he had to such.” 

“Tt. I don’t have friends.” 

“Bro. Not cool.” Claude argued.

“Shut up. Claudius.” he huffed. 

“You wound me.” The teen gasped and put a hand on his chest. “Dami.”

Felix and Marinette watched from the sidelines how the quartet bickered. Jon tried to help Damian sort things out. 

“For what it’s worth, I am sorry,” Felix said after a moment of silence. “My cousin is a daft git.” 

“That we can agree on,” Mari said absentmindedly while trying to keep the eye on Damian. She hoped he didn’t bring the kryptonite dusters tonight.

Batfam's Favorite Quarantine Shows

Even the BatFamily is stuck at home and they have been bingeing all the shows they've missed out on.

Dick loves Bly Manor.

Strange as usually he hates anything to do with horror. But the love story does it for him. (Also the eighties fashion but mostly the gays) The grief and guilt Dani goes through after the loss of her ex-fiance? When Hannah realized she was dead. When Miss Rebecca offered to take over Flora so she wouldn't have to feel any pain! But the last straw was when Jamie turned on the sink and left the door open for Dani at the end. He full on sobbed. Like actually sobbed. It was disgusting. Bruce was terrified.

Jason loves Bidgerton

The drama, the period, the historical garb. We all know he's a Jane Austin stan and the fact that the show takes place in the regency era? 10/10. When the show came onto Netflix he binged it through the night. Not to mention he has a soft spot for love stories and the 'will they won't they' between Daphne and the Duke is more frustrating and more compelling then Ross and Rachel ever were. The others can't stand it, but he and Alfred will watch an episode every night before patrol.

Tim has been enjoying WandaVision

Even though he finds the plot outrageous. (Hero's can't just bend the confines of reality!... Okay maybe they can but it's different!) But he loves the theories, the discoveries, and the fact that the episodes don't all come out at once. The fact that it's Stretford Wives meets Twin Peaks (we all know he had a thing for Dale Cooper) he loves it all. The others refused to watch the show with him though, he's to good at guessing what's happening and he ends up spoiling the episodes for everyone.

Cass likes watching movies because usually she can get one of her siblings to join her.

Jason makes fun of her because she only watches "Artsy Films" but that's just because they're easier to understand. It started with Ari Astor, Hereditary and Midsommar were incredible to her. She was able to pick up on many of the hidden themes throughout the movies and they left her with a greater understanding of the human experience. And even though he grumbled about it Jason sat through both with her. Then it was Knives Out, Tim joined her for that one. It was colorful and vibrant and pleasent to look at. And she and Tim spent the whole time speculateing. Stephanie made her watch Lady Bird and Booksmart but Cass found she couldn't relate to them like Steph could. She watched Honey Boy with Dick and when he started crying she thought she understood why. And the two talked for a long time afterwards and it was nice.

Outwardly Damian doesn't watch television.

But you better believe he rage watched Tiger King. Frankly he could not careless if Carol Baskin killed her husband. Or if Joe Exotic tried to have her murdered. But what they were doing to those animals was atrocious. It caused him to go down the rabbit hole of exotic zoos and now he's planning the downfall of each criminal who would abuse such magnificent creatures.

Bruce and Stephanie binged Big Little Lies, both seasons, in a weekend.

Now Bruce wasn't expecting to get drawn into the show. He had sprained his ankle on patrol and Stephanie was battling some awful cramps and Alfred had ushered them into the living room to relax. But as soon as the story started he was hooked. He had never thought much about sexual assault and abuse, he had dealt with it as Batman, but never on a personal level. Watching the woman experience it and be affected by it left him feeling cold and angry. Steph watched the show quietly, with intense focus. And she too was angry but in a different way then Bruce. They had to take breaks a lot. Partially because it was so heavy and partially because whenever Damian would walk by they would lunge for the remote. After the show ended Bruce donated a huge sum to Women's Shelters and Sexual Assault Charities and Stephanie knitted him a pink p*ssy hat. Which he now wears everytime he has to go into Wayne Industries.

[delusionland]

this blog now prescribes to the fan theory that jason is cass’s long-lost twin brother! his father is david cain, his mother is lady shiva. david took cass but not jason as jason was deemed too ‘weak.’ he was left with poor strangers that would not properly take care of him, he would grow up to try to steal the tires off the batmobile, never knowing what could have been of his destiny.

jason eventually finds this out as the red hood. cass cain is currently batgirl, she’s in bruce’s files, jason gets into bruce’s files to do recon on everything going on in gotham when he re-enters it. (it’s not as hard as you would think for someone batman trained himself) batman finds in cass’s files that there’s a genetic match between himself and her that bruce KNOWS about and is AWARE OF. he also finds there’s a genetic match between himself and shiva, which bruce never told him about, despite knowing all this time.

just further shit to fan the fuel of hatred, especially since jason originally went over to fight the joker bc they thought jason’s REAL MOTHER was calling for him. bruce was sending him on a wild goose chase out of PITY because he couldn’t tell him ‘actually ur mom’s evil.’ lol

Batgirl Vol 1 65

This is gonna be a long one, folks. We start issue 65 with Cass laughing over a silly sitcom she’s watching (she really watches everything that’s on TV), only to snipe the power button with her soap bar when the topic of Father’s Day comes up. Brenda, who is already upset about the fire that killed her neighbors, shares Cass’ disdain for the holiday, which leads them into the discussion of who Cass’ mom is. Cass admits that she does not know.

However, just because she doesn’t know for sure, doesn’t mean that Cass doesn’t have suspicions. She remembers the time Shiva handed her the pearls bracelet and mentioned that they have the same complexion, and so Cass sets out to get answers. She asks Bruce first, who admits that he also suspects Shiva, but since they don’t have any DNA evidence to compare, all he can do is guess. It doesn’t help that he already went through the “do you have a child” thing with Shiva once, back with Jason, and so Cass decides she wants to figure it out on her own, rather than take Bruce’s offer to help. This, by the way, is the page that has sparked the fandom theory that Jason and Cass could be twins. Symbolism!: 20 Batdad: 48

Next, Cass contacts Onyx to spar with her and asks her if she thinks Shiva could be Cass’ mother. Onyx admits that there was one time when Shiva and Cain met that there seemed to be history between the two. We also learn Shiva’s real name here: Sandra Wusan. Cass makes a connection with her own name (CasSANDRA) here, but honestly, that would be quite a coincidence, since she got the name from Oracle. Anyway, adding another to the symbolism counter here. Symbolism!: 21

Cass then goes to visit her father, who tells her he’ll be happy to tell her anything except her mother’s name. Ok, bummer, but you gotta appreciate how gentle and otherwise just… nice… Cain is to her, aside from his refusal to tell her.

Of course, something as simple as verbal rejection does not deter Cass and so she returns later as Batgirl to beat the truth out of Cain. He still refuses, but Cass is not looking for answers in his words, but in his body language. Unfortunately, Cain still refuses to talk and so Cass leaves him in his cell in a pool of blood, with the most pathetic little Father’s Day flower pinned to his prison suit. Symbolism!: 22

Jason Todd and Dick Grayson for the character thingy

Jason:

How I feel about this character: Jason is... complicated for me. On the one hand, when done right he can be one of the most compelling characters in the Batman mythos, but when written wrong, which sadly seems to be the norm, he’s one of the most obnoxious and insufferable. I'm afraid the mary sue-ness of his RHatO incarnation has colored my view of him a bit. All the people I ship romantically with this character: I don’t really ship Jay with anyone.My non-romantic OTP for this character: One of the few good things to come out of the New 52 Outlaws book was his friendship with Roy Harper. My unpopular opinion about this character: He’s more interesting as a sympathetic antagonist/neutral wild card than as a main character of his own book.One thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon: Him being Cass’s twin has ALWAYS been my favorite fan theory.

Dick

How I feel about this character: I love him so much. Dick is a great character and a wonderful example of character development spanning decades of an apprentice becoming a mentor in and of himself. 

All the people I ship romantically with this character: I ship Babs with him, but what limited experience I have with his relationship with Starfire seems like they make a good couple as well. The only reason I don’t ship him and Wally is because Waid made me too invested in Wally/Linda.

My non-romantic OTP for this character: Given what I said about Wally, I’d choose him. Their friendship is awesome.

My unpopular opinion about this character: He should've stayed Batman (and Bruce should've stayed dead) so long as DC refused to let Cass take the mantle.

One thing I wish would happen/ had happened with this character in canon: See above.

[sweettsubaki]

Because of @chonaku-things I am now hyped for a DC AU where Tim and Cass are twins. I want it (I mean I love the fan theory of Jason and Cass being siblings/twins, I really really love it, but I love the actual relationships of Cass and Tim and Siblings and I really like it and... Actually better  : Jason and Cass are twins and Tim is their younger brother)

[dyketectivecomics]

To Continue this thought.... I know that we just kinda take Cain at his word but listen, hear me out; he’s a Van Halen fan and when Cass asked abt HER birthday, he was thinking of one of their songs in his head to try to throw off his body language and if Cass had just TURNED AROUND she would’ve SEEN that and anyways now in his mind she shares a bday with Eddie Van Halen

Also I just think it’d be rlly funny to just Not know when Cass’ exact birthday is so happy birthweek Cass!!! Love ya girl 🦇 💕

Did Babs really suggest Cass celebrate her bday on the 19th bc it was Supposedly the anniversary of when Cass became batgirl.... or was it so that Cass could share a birthday with Dolly Parton? 🤔🤔🤔 really makes you think.... 🤔🤔🤔
