"do you think they're gonna dance to enchanted, taylor's version? ohmygod. if i get to experience a wedding dance between a new married couple with enchanted playing? i might cry."

          cassandra  looks  up  and  over  to  stephanie  .  “  i  hate  to  disappoint  but  they  probably  aren’t  .  don’t  cry  over  that  either  .  i  have  a  feeling  this  wedding  is  going  to  be  very  …  traditional  in  the  asgardian  sense  .  ”  nose  can’t  help  but  crinkle  up  .  not  out  of  disgust  but  just  out  of  ––  actually  cass  doesn’t  quite  know  how  to  describe  it  .  “  maybe  the  orchestra  is  taking  requests  ?  and  we  can  dance  to  it  ,  ”  she  suggests  .  had  it  been  anyone  else  ,  cassandra  wouldn’t  have  even  offered  a  dance  .

Cassandra Cain in Batman: Urban Legends #008 (2021)

          she’s  usually  more  alert  .  having  her  foot  stepped  on  would’ve  been  easily  avoided  but  with  a  crowd  this  large  and  unfamiliar  territory  ,  cassandra  finds  herself  scoping  out  the  space  .  eyes  narrow  out  of  habit  before  her  gaze  softens  .  “  it’s  …  fine  .  ”  musters  up  a  small  smile  .  “  never  thought  i’d  hear  that  captain  america  is  clumsy  .  ”

“ i promise i'm not yawning because i'm uninterested . i just didn't get much sleep last night and the caffeine from this coffee hasn't kicked in yet , ” she pauses , yawning yet again . “ — sorry , keep talking . i'm listening . ”

          brows  are  raised  in  amusement  as  she  studies  the  blonde  .  she  likes  to  do  that  .  people  watch  .  it’s  purely  out  of  habit  .  cassandra  leans  forward  in  her  seat  ,  arms  resting  against  the  backing  of  the  chair  .  “  working  overtime  for  the  avengers  or  something  ?  ”  she  asks  ,  mostly  as  a  joke  .  “  if  you  want  the  caffeine  to  hit  faster  ,  i  recommend  espresso  over  coffee  .  there's  also  more  caffeine  .  ”

          another  person’s  arm  is  slung  across  her  shoulder  as  she  helps  them  to  the  medical  wing  .  cassandra  couldn’t  just  leave  the  person  .  not  after  witnessing  the  tumble  the  other  took  and  rolled  on  their  wrist  while  sparring her  .  an  easily  avoidable  mistake  but  she  says  nothing  .  “  pretty  sure  it’s  a  sprained  wrist based on the way they fell  .  ” she informs the older woman  .  “ but  i’m  no  doctor  .  ”

“superman should be out of the question,” dick declares rather firmly, the hint of playfulness still visible in his grin. “he’s like, the standard.” there’s a long line of superheroes that he respects and admires, but it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to to say the man of steel sits on the top of the list. “now come on, don’t be dramatic,” he teases, fully aware that he was the one who started being dramatic first. “we could always repair our friendship by settling with batman as the final conclusion. bet he’d be pleased too.” he doubts the caped crusader would even bat an eye to this debate, but dick likes to think he knows the man well enough sometimes. “two birds one stone.” 

          “  i  know  i  said  superman  but  i  raise  you  wonder  woman  .  i  think  she  is  the  standard  .  ”  a  woman  that  can  not  only  kick  ass  but  comes  from  a  lineage  of  warrior  women  ?  now  that  is  something  cassandra  can  get  behind  .  “  i’m  only  returning  the  energy  you  give  me  ,  dick  .  ”  smiles  cheekily  .  “  i’m  inclined  to  say  batman  but  he’s  got  a  little  bit  of  an  ego  ,  y’know  ?  especially  if  he  finds  out  we  said  superman  and  then  changed  our  minds  .  ”

“i’m sure you’re aware that what you just described is a very bad idea.” 

          “  and  yet  it  didn’t  stop  you  from  listening  to  it  ,  ”  cassandra  points  out  .  “  so  some  part  of  you  finds  it  intriguing  .  ”

#duality of women insp.

“ look  whatever   it   is   …   i   really   don’t   care.   no   offense. ”       lack   of   sleep   mixes   like   acid   with   social   interaction.   most   days ,   she   can   keep   it   together.   or   so   little   voice   in   her   head   claims.   not   that   anyone ,   at   any   point   in   her   life   (  read :   career  ) ,   has   accepted   her   bullshit.      “  unless   the   next   words   out   of   your   mouth   are   ‘aw   but   bobbi,   i   brought   you   coffee’    —    can   it   wait ?  ”      okay.   it’s   harsh.   a   touch   too   much.   she’s   starting   to   sound   like   her   mother.      “  at   least   until   i   get   some  caffeine ,   please.  ”

          she  stands  with  a  cup  of  coffee  in  hand  ,  waiting  for  the  blonde  to  finish  speaking  .  listen  ,  cass  is  not  much  of  a  talker  .  only  ever  feels  comfortable  talking  to  the  members  of  the  bat  family  .  and  she  doesn’t  take  offense  to  bobbi’s  slightly  harsh  words  .  she's  heard  worse  .  “  lucky  for  you  ,  ”  cass  turns  the  cup  to  reveal  ‘  bobbi  ’  scribbled  to  the  side  .  she  sets  it  down  for  the  blonde  .  “  the  barista  handed  it  to  me  .  a  little  offended  they  thought  we  had  the  same  coffee  order  .  either  that  or  they  didn’t  realized  .  do  i  look  like  a  bobbi  ?  ”

I KNOW WHAT YOU DID LAST SUMMER Season 1, Episode 5 — Mukbang

“i can’t believe you chose me out of all people to have a debate on who’s the greatest superhero,” dick starts to grin, the incredulous hint in his voice nothing but painfully obvious. “i’m gonna be biased with my answer, you know it. is that the end of our friendship that we’re approaching right now?” 

          “  if  it’s  not  superman  ,  i  will  be  very  disappointed  .  ”  cassandra  comments  with  a  deadpan  expression  .  the  bat  moves  to  plop  down  next  to  her  adoptive  brother  ,  wiping  a  bead  of  sweat  that  trickles  down  the  side  of  her  temple  .  “  you’re  kinda  stuck  with  me  now  but  sure  ,  let’s  go  with  that  .  an  end  of  a  friendship  .  ”
