Perched on a building taller than the one Jason was located on, Stephanie tapped her comm. Tuned it into Jason's frequency and hid herself to the best her ability while still being able to see him. When she was sure he wasn't busy, she finally spoke. "I can see you."
Jason damn near fell off the roof when Stephanie’s voice drifted over his comms into his ears. ‘’Jesus fucking Christ on a stick, babe.’’ He turned around quickly, scanning the horizon. Had she snuck up on him someh-
Oh.
‘‘There you are.’‘ He waved towards her where she was perched on the other building and Jason let the cigarette fall to the gravel underneath his feet as stealthily as he could. ‘‘Hi babe.’‘
here is my personal hc. tim told cass about a girl. he didn’t tell her anything about the girl, just that she was woefully unprepared to be a crimefighter... but also she was kinda cute, in a totally naive way (90s tim was kind of an asshole, never forget). cass couldn’t quite understand what he was saying while he showed her the batfile on her---the picture of the spoiler, etc. but she got his general tone and body language. cass then sought steph out. for nights. nights looking for the spoiler. when she found her---she tackled her, immediately engaged her in a fight. she went so, so easy on her. she just wanted to see what a cute girl was. and steph... was definitely a cute girl. at the time, cass couldn’t talk, couldn’t communicate with her. but she left her a gift. a nice knife that she had throw at her head---deliberately missing it, that was... especially ornate, and seemed shiny and valuable, and most of all purple to match her costume. pretty purple girls like pretty purple things, right?
What was their first impression of each other?
steph probably did not think well of cass, at first. after that first outing---the batfamily got involved. cass was to help steph with her fighting. steph was to help cass with her speech. without the mask on---steph could see how much cass enjoyed her company. it was hard not to realize she had a sense of humor about everything. the laughter she had exhibited on a still-baby-at-the-time spoiler screaming her head off about what she thought was some kind of demon-ninja batgirl was... genuine, and not malicious in the slightest. she seemed to want to be friends, and every time steph frowned at her, or was a sore loser, cass simply smiled and laughed harder, finding everything steph did perfectly amusing. as they got to know each other---cass got better at talking, and steph got better at fighting, and they kind of, met somewhere on the outer edges of the middle for a while. there was always something standing between them--though. a resentment, not between them, but a misunderstanding. that cass belonged to bruce and the bat. and steph belonged to tim.
Did any of their friends or family want them to get together?
i feel like conner kent at the very least shipped it. alfred really thought there was a spark between them, and during their brief frenemy stage---alfred made sure steph knew cass genuinely cared for her. bruce did NOT want them to get together at all, though. neither did tim, for obvious reasons.
Who felt romantic feelings first?
cass. it was love the first time steph managed to punch herin the face. did she win? no. but she GOT her. and through that tenacity, cass realized that her friend was so much more than a silly, pretty girl. she was a fighter. she was a champion. and more than anything, she was brave, and determined, and they had practiced a thousand times for just this moment. and afterwards, steph was just so proud of her overall failure instead of being herr typical loser.... cass couldnt help but know steph was always going to be the love of her life.
Did either of them try to resist their feelings?
they both did! didn’t want to ruin the friendship!
If you had told one of them that the other would be their soulmate, what would they think?
cass would get a curious look, steph wouldn’t believe you!
What would their lives be like if they had never met?
they would be a lot worse, a lot lonelier. steph never would’ve become batgirl, that’s for sure, and cass would’ve learned to speak---but in a way entirely removed from her own personality and love of herself & life.
GENERAL
Who initiated the relationship, and how did it go?
it was a mutual thing in ocean city, maryland. they were in a photo booth, sitting in eachother’s laps, leg over leg, they did a silly face, and then another silly face, and then their faces were so close---and then SMOOCH CITY, and they WOULD NOT LEAVE THE BOOTH lol.
Did they have an official first date? If so, what was it like?
they considered ocean city their first date. but they’re not really the ‘dating’ types. they both LOVE to fight. they both LOVE to crime fight. they both LOVE spending time together doing NOTHING. if anything, the first time cass had to go to a gala with her was the first time they realized---ugh, do we REALLY have to be WAYNES? do we really have to have REAL LIVES? why can’t we stay in our cuddle - asskicking bubble forever?
What was their first kiss like?
it was the most natural possible thing, and it was something they had both almost had so many times before that it was like drowning in sensation after you had subsisted off of gerbil-cage drips of water for years. they couldn’t stop! they were consumed with want, and they only stopped when they started to get a little TOO frisky and somebody moved the curtain of the booth because they wanted to get their own picture taken and they were like ‘fuck! okay lets get french fries!’ lol

LOVE
Who said “I love you” first?

NO TAKEBACKSIES.’
What’s the wedding like? Who attends?
it’s a big wedding. cass loves, loves people. it’s a whos-who, especially since cass is gonna be batman and she has all the justice league contacts now. cass turns a bit into a bridezila, but like, as a joke, mostly, and she calms down when steph is like ‘i thought we could be more intimate...’ lol

‘ you get a free punch , ’ dick says after he climbs into her living room after knocking on the window. he’s -- exhausted , having to come back to the family’s anger , but he understands. ( he shouldn’t have listened to bruce , told the family anyway , gave them a hint , but he had been so tired and off-balanced and “ i trained you to live and i watched you die “ ). at least damian ( he was alive and bruce hadn’t told him ) had given him a hug ; dick couldn’t have taken any other reaction from him. ‘ or a hug or an angry rant or however you want to react. i’m here to give you an apology and also ask you a question. which do you want first ? ’
Jules is a beautiful, caring, down to earth person with a heart of gold. Fantastic writer and A++ graphics skills. Awesome muses. What’s not to love? Not to mention the attention to detail and how well her blogs are put together. It’s like pure magic. What is this sorcery? Like wow. Like a rare, shiny, legendary Pokémon that’s impossible to find. Honestly, one of the most down to earth, humble, and patient person around. I would literally defend Jules to my dying breath.
Stephanie tip toed around the corner, frying pan at the ready. "Tiiim . . . you can't hide forever!"
Tim is pretty sure Steph is just underestimating him now. Benefits from being smaller : he could most definitely find some good hiding spots. Honestly where he was in the space between the kitchen cabinets was surprisingly more comfortable than you’d think. A little tight, but not terrible. He’s been in worse spots before. Plus Steph couldn’t even get enough space to get him with the frying pan if she did find him.
