#not sure if the Cosmic Punch bullshit would actually help in a direct fight | Explore Tumblr posts and blogs

Okay chewing on this, two AU ideas:

One: Jason is getting help from Talia (or doing a favor for her) while Deathstroke is doing whatever the hell it is he did to Cass, and Jason comes across this. Jason objects to brainwashing people, and besides, that's the Batgirl he has like zero beef with because Why Would He (Yet), so he intervenes.

Deathstroke regenerates and Jason has Cosmic Punch Won't Let Him Stay Dead Mystical Bullshit, so this gets very messy very fast. Unclear how Cass's No Kill policy plays out against an opponent who regenerates, but considering what she's done to people who don't, and her, uh, everything with her mom, there's a lot of potential for Slade to rapidly come to regret his choices.

Two: during Jason's World Tour of Crime Skills, Talia sent him off to David Cain for some hand to hand combat training. This is instantly apparent to Cass the first time she sees him fight (regardless of circumstances) and Cass has some Feelings about this.

Bonus angst points: the first time Cass sees Jason fight is after her brother kills her, and he moved the same way.

#I like Cass and I like Jason and I like Whump #fic ideas #Slade Wilson should always come to regret his choices #I think we should get Rose involved in Idea One somehow too #DC #Batfam #Cassandra Cain #Jason Todd #I haven't read the Evil Cass arc in full yet so I honestly don't know exactly what went down?#but since this is an AU we can make changes to make it work #not sure if the Cosmic Punch bullshit would actually help in a direct fight #presuming that he died at the end of UtRH and BftC Jason does seem to vanish for a bit when he dies #comes back later with no explanation #but since it's all offscreen we can do whatever fits the fic best
