WHAT CHESS PIECE REPRESENTS YOU?

WHITE ROOK

you are a white rook. as a piece that can move inwards and outwards, you're a master of self-reflection. you know what needs to be done and when to do it. you're a protector, and would willingly take someone's place in danger in a heartbeat because YOU KNOW YOU CAN HANDLE THE PRESSURE. but even castle walls crumble. for all your chivalry and fortitude, everything must come to an end. will you be there to see the final stages of the war ? or will you have already been discarded in the battle ?

          ❝ i don’t... need to. ❞ with strength that SUPERMAN HIMSELF would be impressed by, cass moves to take down the two bodyguards holding her. katana drawn, she flips onto lex’s desk, impaling the spot where she  k n o w s  a panic button lies before he can reach for it. cass steps down from the surface to stand in front of the man, disgust painted on her face. ❝ i can see YOURS. ❞

           an elbow to the gut and her fist  d r a g g i n g  down his collar, cass levels an ice cold glare into venom-green eyes. ❝ stay... the fuck... away from kon. ❞ she gives him a moment to let the message SINK IN before reeling her head back to smash her forehead into his nose.

          ❝ i can tell, ❞ cass hums, tossing her keys on the table and letting the apartment door shut behind her. it was the way he didn’t reply to her texts or video call that sent her here, but stepping through his front door only solidified it. jason just looked... off. ❝ why i came. JUST me. ❞ she pads further into the apartment before hopping up to sit on the kitchen countertop. ❝ did, um... some-thing happen ? ❞

❝ You can sell them for scrap, if you ever get out. ❞ 

❝ Oh, what’s the matter? Touched a nerve? ❞ 

❝ Just so we’re on the same page here, I fully, intend to kill you. ❞ 

❝ But first, we’re gonna make you suffer. ❞ 

❝ Can you remember when it was simple?  ❞ 

❝ You still haven’t apologized. ❞ 

❝ You know, half the crooks in Gotham think I feed you info. ❞ 

❝ Well yeah, when there’s something in it for me.  ❞ 

❝ Sorry for making criminals think less of you. ❞ 

❝ Hey, have I ever hurt anyone? ❞ 

❝ Hey, boss! We’re gettin’ you outta here! ❞ 

❝ Deep down, I knew war was coming.  ❞ 

❝ I was just waiting for someone to pull the trigger. ❞ 

❝ Something’s changed. You’re different. ❞ 

❝ I prefer to call it a work in progress, but it does show potential. ❞ 

❝ There’s no perfection without a little pain! ❞ 

❝ You know, I was just going to suggest you do that. ❞ 

❝ You’re trapped. There’s nowhere to run. ❞ 

❝ Who said anything about running? ❞

❝ This is the end. This is the last time we meet. ❞ 

❝ Don’t talk like that, okay? ❞ 

❝ This won’t stop you. Nothing stops you. ❞ 

❝ You don’t want me hanging around, stealing the spotlight. ❞ 

❝ Tea party’s over, freak. Let’s start talking. ❞ 

❝ I give the orders here, not you. ❞

❝ We’ll see about that. Now, quit with the rhymes! ❞ 

❝ Now, now, officer, you mistake me for a snitch. ❞ 

❝ Where are they, you little son of a bitch! ❞ 

❝ Hahahahaha! That certainly scratched my itch. ❞ 

❝ Taking the warden, why not just kill him/her and escape? ❞ 

❝ If you want him/her dead, why come to me? You seem capable. ❞ 

❝ There are many in this city with a gift for causing harm. ❞ 

❝ I’ve seen what your toxin does. I want that. ❞ 

❝ Where am I? What’s happening to me? ❞ 

❝ The world should see you for the worthless thing you are. ❞ 

❝ I told you I knew everything about you, didn’t I?  ❞ 

❝ Spare me the good cop/bad cop routine. ❞ 

❝ See, you’re supposed to keep me talking. ❞ 

❝ Look me in the eye and say that. ❞ 

❝ I’ve had a devil of a time tracking you down. ❞ 

❝ So, it’s over, the whole world knows. What now? ❞ 

❝ I’m not feeling myself tonight. ❞ 

❝ Er, um, you’ll feel better tomorrow.  ❞ 

❝ I trusted you and you just left me to die! ❞ 

❝ Don’t you dare lie to me! ❞ 

❝ Guys, guys, guys, so good to see you.  ❞ 

❝ I’ve got nothing to say to you. ❞ 

❝ I did it. Cornered you. Did what no one else could.  ❞ 

❝ I already know, and I’m not waiting anymore. ❞ 

❝ But know this: it’ll be an act of mercy when you do. ❞ 

❝ Abandon the city, for I will unleash your greatest fears. ❞ 

❝ Lost for words? I expected more… I’m hurt. ❞ 

❝ How long did you wait before replacing me, huh? ❞ 

❝ Without fear, life is meaningless. ❞ 

❝ Why aren’t you scared!? ❞ 

❝ You’re old, you’re predictable and you never stood a chance. ❞ 

❝ You used to put up a fight. ❞ 

❝ I would have kept it when I was finished with you. ❞ 

❝ I’ve trained my mind to feel no pain. ❞ 

❝ Don’t be fooled, don’t think you’re winning. ❞ 

❝ It’s not the face you’re given… It’s the face you choose. ❞ 

❝ If I’m not mistaken, turned out to be rather a long one if I recall… ❞ 

❝ No… no! Those guns, they were mine! ❞ 

❝ Things change. Now, it’s just war. ❞ 

❝ I tried one of those question mark games they have around here.  ❞ 

❝ I pressed the button and burnt the evil bastard myself. ❞ 

❝ You don’t need to worry about us, or feel responsible.  ❞ 

❝ Once I understood your greatest fear, controlling you was simple.  ❞ 

❝ Think very carefully about your next move. ❞ 

❝ That’s what I like about you - predictable!  ❞ 

❝ You will bring death to all who follow you. ❞ 

❝ You were young, full of rage. You still got that fight? ❞ 

❝ Die, knowing that I will make them suffer- every one. ❞ 

❝ You die here, and your legend dies with you. ❞ 

❝ I kinda hoped you’d put more of a fight. ❞ 

❝ Sorry kid. You shoulda stuck to the little leagues. ❞ 

❝ I did it! I actually did it! I mean, of course I did! ❞ 

❝ I don’t think you’ll be solving this one. ❞ 

❝ Riddle me this: What’s dead? You! ❞ 

❝ My only regret is I didn’t kill ‘em myself. ❞ 

❝ You’re dead! Wait, does that mean I’m dead?!  ❞ 

❝ Well that’s what I get for betting it all on black. ❞ 

❝ You survive everything I ever threw at you only to die now, like this? ❞ 

❝ Do me a favor and die already. I got a business to run! ❞ 

❝ Is this some kind of joke? Trying to run me outta Gotham?  ❞ 

❝ I can see the same fire in your eyes. Before this night is through… that fire will consume you. ❞ 

❝ I’m going to steal all your money, and destroy everything you’ve built here, okay? ❞

          ❝ is that so ? ❞ cass is confident in her skills enough to look directly at querl as she plays, especially considering the fact that she’s lapped him once already and is about to do it AGAIN. her finger hovers over the right trigger, ready to watch him have any sort of meltdown when she blows him up for the nth time this round. ❝ does your... eighth ? dee-enn-EFF... count as  b e a t i n g  it ? ❞

ofrevival​:

jason  wasn’t  built  to  back  down,   even  well  after  the  point  that  he  should.   there’s  a  part  of  him  that  watches  her  sink,   watches  her  dip  beneath  the  weight  of  whatever  it  is  she’s  choosing  to  carry  alone,   and  has  to  bite  back  a  remark  of  smug  satisfaction  at  being  right   —   that  she  wasn’t  ready  to  face  this;   not  right  now.

but  the  far  more  intelligent  pieces  of  him  watch  her  sink  and  see  a  girl  without  a  childhood,   a  girl  struggling  to  keep  up  with  atlas   &   about  to  drown  in  the  depths  of  whatever  nightmare  was  crawling  through  her  mind.   and  those  intelligent  pieces  knit  his  brows  together  beneath  the  mask  and  rue  the  dark  edges  of  him  that  feel  anything  of  a  more  bitter  nature.   her  accusatory  stare  isn’t  shied  away  from,   met  level  and  unflinching  as  jason’s  back  bends,   daring  to  crouch  in  front  of  the  coiled  spring  of  her.

daring  further  to  plant  both  hands  on  the  sides  of  her  face,   against  the  clenched  jawline,   until  there’s  nowhere  to  look  but  him.     “ breathe,   cass.   breathe.   in  for  three,   out  for  five. ”     he  gives  her  a  moment,   breathes  with  her  to  match  the  pace.     “ you’re  not  there.   wherever  it  is  that  your  head’s  gone,   you’re  not.   there.   but  you  are  gonna  plant  yourself  right  back  where  you  don’t  wanna  be  if  you  keep  insisting  on  running  at  this  shit  half - cocked. ”

          up until this point, cass was ABSOLUTELY CERTAIN that if she didn’t do this alone, she would die again. but jason has her head in his hands as she’s sunken to the floor and she’s trying to get a full breath in, that frozen resolve she wears so gracefully completely burned away to expose every ounce of the pain-guilt-agony-horror of everything that happened that one night all those months ago. he’s RIGHT, and she’s finally starting to get it, but there’s still that bone chilling fear that history is going to repeat itself, and jason won’t even know it.

          the PANIC within her feels like a sword ripping through her chest, and cass can be  s u r e  that’s the right comparison because she knows firsthand what that feels like. it’s cold and hot at the same time, her lungs feel like they’re  c o l l a p s i n g, her fingers and toes going tingly and NUMB. the only thing that’s keeping her grounded is jason, and his hands gripping her face, and that look on his face that’s screaming at her to PULL IT TOGETHER.

          so she’s taking the breaths as best as she can, and she’s taking his words as fact because it’s the only thing she can think to do right now. there’s a soft keening noise making its way from her throat, but she’s taking it as a reassurance that she’s still breathing. ❝ i don’t want him... to kill me again. don’t want to be... brought back again, either. ❞

he  laughs.   actually  laughs,   because  it’s  fucking  ridiculous  and  there’s  no  other  way  around  it.     “ oh,   really?   you’re  gonna  beat  him  looking  like  that? ”     jason  knows  any  one  of  them  would  try   ( or  at  least  could  try )   to  fight  half  an  army  on  even  their  worst  days,   but  this  is  something  else.     “ a  stiff  breeze  could  knock  you  over  right  now. ”     and  she  only  destroys  her  case  when  she  removes  cover  to  show  the  consequences  of  her  current  vendetta,   painted  in  glaring  purple  strokes  beneath  her  eyes  and  hard  red  splatters  across  her  lips.   she  was  as  far  from  the  picture  of  ‘ fit  to  stand  alone ’  as  one  could  get.

“  ———   tell  me  why, ”     he  demands  suddenly.   one’s  business  was  their  own,   but  if  cass  was  really  this  intent  on  shoving  jason  off  of  a  case  he’d  already  been  working,   she  was  going  to  need  one  hell  of  a  compelling  reason  to  nudge  him  out.     “ tell  me,   right  here  and  now,   why  you  think  i  ought  to  just  let  you  wander  off  to  get  killed.   clearly  you’ve  got  some  personal  stake  in  it  or  you  wouldn’t  be  trying  so  hard  to  force  me  off  this. ”

stubbornness  is  his  native  tongue  and  he  wields  it  as  sharply  as  any  knife  as  he  stares  her  down.     “ tell  me. ”

         she can blame it on being worn to the bone, too burnt out to keep it down, but GREEN edges at her vision for the first time since she’s come back. how dare he mock her, call her  w e a k. does he not know what she can do ? the LIVES her hands alone have taken ? SHOW HIM, something whispers in her brain. MAKE HIM STAY DOWN. MAKE HIM BEG FOR MERCY.

         the image her brain produces of him on the ground beneath her feet, bloodied and pained is enough to snap her out of it. a growl tears from her throat as she drops to a crouch, hands clutching at her skull as if that could fix the thing that’s  b r o k e n  in her head. she was supposed to catch this before anyone else. if it was tim or duke or dick, she could snatch this case from them and never hear about it again. why did it have to be JASON ? why couldn’t he just give in like the others would ? 

          ❝ you, ❞ she hisses, not looking up, not fully aware of what’s going to come out of her mouth next, ❝ DISTRACTION. get me... killed, again. you. not me. ❞ the rage of the memories of death and rebirth begins to fade back in, hands shake as she palms at her eyes, trying to erase the vividness of the past. ❝ was SAFE here, ❞ she mutters to herself. ❝ he’s not supposed to be here. ❞

          her eyes  s n a p  up accusingly to jason, and she’s not sure exactly who she’s talking about when she repeats it louder. ❝ not. SUPPOSED. to. be. here. ❞

         @ofrevival​ cont.  🦇

          he’s the one who’s gonna get himself killed, she thinks. cass at least fully comprehends what she’s up against here. she knows the enemy more than jason could ever understand, though that bit isn’t his fault. cass doesn’t... talk about much. she doesn’t DIVULGE any more information than is  a b s o l u t e l y  necessary when it comes to herself and her past, and this ? this is something she isn’t prepared to share.

         she’s seen the  f l i m s y little file that jason has on this case. there’s too many holes, it’s just victims and locations and glimpses of the THING that’s been tearing people to ribbons. but the second that this thing stepped foot in her city, she knew what she was looking at.

         there’s FRUSTRATION in his frame, annoyance at being told to let this go, but cass can’t fold. not this time. she’s slow to remove her cowl. lips are cracked and bleeding, eyes sporting the dark circles of days without rest, but she is unbending. if jason stays behind, there will be no  d i s t r a c t i o n s, no people to shield. cass could make the mad dog heel.

          ❝ i won’t die, ❞ she rasps. ❝ i can beat him. it WON’T be like... last time. ❞
