SPOILER IS : sunshine and optimism, and it makes cassandra smile to herself, almost imperceptible. batman works alone, but she is not batman, and she knows both from barbara’s stories and her own research that batgirl has been known to trust an ally or two.
“you [...] sure?” cassandra asks hesitantly. steph’s legs dangle from the fire escape they’re both perched on: stephanie, sitting, cassandra, crouched in a ready position, the heels of her lightweight black boots barely touching the ground.
she makes a decision, then. turns to stephanie and holds out a gloved hand, an open vulnerability, she can see the ways that stephanie might ignore the hand and move to knock her off this roof, she can see the moves she would make to counter them, to kill to end the fight. TRUST.
“team...u-up?”
