#david cain

Stuff I've been drawing while reading through the Batgirl 2000 comics.

I've read about halfway through the run now and omg it's so good I have to stop myself from just rushing through it lmao, Cassandra Cain the character ever I love her so much

i keep thinking about a cass who is like. two years younger than damian, and is with david cain when he visits the league for work or something, and so while he and talia discuss business talia is just like ‘give your kid to my new son while we work, he’s weirdly good with children and he babysits for free.’ and david’s like. what new fucking son. and talia brings jason out with his bright green eyes and damian sitting on his hip and his massive new body, and david cain who definitely knew who bruce’s second robin was and how he died is just looking between jason and talia for a solid thirty seconds like ‘talia what the fuck did you do?’

anyway i’m just saying the potential for cass to be a semi-regular around the compound is very very good to me. i would like to see slightly deranged/pit-mad older brother jason, Done With Everything And Everybody middle child damian, and feral, weirdly intuitive youngest child cass. they would fucking RUN that compound. david will show up for a two hour meeting with ra’s and when he comes out it’s to the sight of jason sprinting around the courtyard making airplane noises with cass sat on his shoulders with her arms out like on the titanic, and damian standing off to the side yelling angrily about how it was HIS turn now, get BACK HERE-

i also just think cass having pseudo big siblings when she’s that young would be very fun. i feel like jason would be the perfect mix of protective and enabling, and damian would probably adopt her like one of his beloved pets. i bet you anything it would become like that universal cousin culture, where you don’t see them all that much but when you DO meet up it’s like no time has passed and you just rush off with them to get on each other’s nerves while your parents talk in another room. every time david shows up at the league jason and damian will appear to scoop cass up and rush her off to play some stupid game they’ve made up (that definitely causes physical harm) and david and talia can’t find them for hours.

also, just thinking about when david has to leave and take cass away again, the idea of when you’re a kid and you desperately want your parents to agree to let your friend stay longer/overnight so you perform a concert for them to make them agree to a sleepover. that but it’s jason teaching damian and cass new katas/fighting moves to perform for talia and david to convince david to leave cass behind while he goes on his next mission. that or they just try to hide cass in jason’s closet in the hopes that david will get frustrated looking for her and just give up. it actually did work once; he figured that jason loved her too much to let harm befall her so when he and talia couldn’t get damian and jason to give up where cass was when he needed to leave he was just like. fuck it i’m back in a month anyway. i’ll find her then.

the red hood had a five year old girl and a seven year old boy following him around for the next four weeks and he looked like a goose with a brood of ducklings. talia is endlessly disappointed in him.

like they both share the same general lithe build, they’re the same short height, cass has a short bob while tim has his baby mullet, their training is similar due to their backgrounds with lady shiva and the loa, and (depending on your headcanon) both waisan- so i can definitely see instances where they’re confused for each other or where they mess with everyone around them.

cass on patrol in red robin gear so tim can go on a date with bernard:

random thugs seconds away from being one hit k.o’d: yo since when did red robin start melting into the shadows like an eldritch horror?

jason: hey tim -

cass: wrong.

jason: no, im pretty sure you’re tim, i gave you that scar right there in your neck

cass: nu-uh, this is from cain

jason:

cass:

jason: well this got awkward…

steph hugging tim from behind: hey babe

tim: wrong wayne

steph: ew, i should’ve known, your ass isnt nearly as —

tim walking away with his fingers in his ears: lalalalala im not listening to you

damian: i think you’re the only one in this family i respect

tim who has been silently hanging out with him for the past 3 hours: aw thanks damian, i’ve come to love you like a brother too

damian: drake? i thought you were cassandra, my apologies, i retract my previous statement

tim: don’t care, you love me, don’t try to deny it

lady shiva hugging both tim and cass: my beautiful twins, such well trained weapons, unfortunate that you both ended up with cain

bruce pulling his children back: tim isnt yours…

shiva: well that cant be right, he’s s the spitting image of my sister carolyn, and that birth was far too painful to only produce one small child

tim: woah full circle, my drag-sona is called caroline, maybe you are my mom, i wouldn’t put it past janet drake to adopt

bruce: tim no, you’re not even the same type of asian

cass: too late, we’re blood
