❝ I’m not worth it. ❞ | @silencefought

   “I wasn’t asking you for your opinions,” Jason drawls, exhaling a plume of smoke from where he’s propped up against the balcony railing, practically halfway to hanging off of it and tumbling into the hedge below. Wouldn’t be the first time, though Alfred’ll be pissed if he fucks up another hedge.

   He didn’t hear Cass approach, but he doesn’t start when he hears her voice, drifting, disembodied from the shadows in the darkened hallway behind him. Honestly, he’s a little impressed that she took the time to find him after that spat with Bruce—another check mark on the list of things that never change, even if the arguments rotate. Bruce had to mention Cassandra, had to mention something about pulling her off a patrol, and Jason had to go and stick his fucking nose in it like he did with everything because he was allergic to leaving anything well enough alone.

   “You know me, I’ll argue on anyone’s behalf. Mine. Dick’s. Tim’s. Damian’s, if I’m feeling extra-generous. The dog’s. Definitely the dog’s. If I don’t, I’ll probably die, or whatever.”

There’s no fooling Cass. He can lie until he’s blue in the face but she sees through the lies, or rather past his words. In fact, sometimes he suspects she doesn’t listen to him at all. And she doesn’t really need to. She’s an expert at reading people’s body movements - a human lie detector and most importantly, she can detect when he’s in a bad mood no matter how hard he strives to maintain a poker face. 

Hands clasped together in thought, his eyes flicker to the reflection of her face in the screen of his computer. If only he was as good as her at reading body language... “I don’t know what Damian told you but even he is capable of exaggerating sometimes.” Damian can exaggerate and overreact sometimes. That is a truth, a thin cover for his blatant lie. Damian wouldn’t exaggerate the seriousness of a case like this.

You know how sometimes dogs just look like their owner? Yeah, Ace is just Bruce in dog form. Always looks so angry and tired and old. Their growl is the same. But Ace is a lot  more open to cuddling even if it’s just marginally

It’s a speedster’s god given right to be dramatic and he takes full advantage of this right. With a loud, teary eyed cry of “no!” he slumps forehead, pressing his face and arms into the table below him. He lost. Again! How is she winning every time?

“You’re a cheater,” he accuses, although his insult lacks true bite, “we’re not longer friends. I don’t care if this is a verbal conversation - unfriended and blocked. No more bats for me. You or otherwise.”

  “Considering the fact you’re already laughing at me, I don’t know if sharing the details are a good idea. I came here for advice, and for a breath of fresh air, not to be laughed at.” He huffs, and although he feigns annoyance and general grumpiness, he makes no move to leave. With a heavy sigh, he waters his cactus, the only kind of plant he can handle, before continuing. 

“Fine, I’ll tell you. Chances are Tim is going to tell the rest of you about how horrible it was anyway. So a long story short I caught Kon and Tim making out in a closet and jumped to conclusions...  A person was punched, free contraceptives were given and, worst of all, I made Tim sit through THE TALK again.”

@silencefought // liked for a helena starter

Befriending the past version of a beloved family member had been a happy accident. A dangerous accident. She had always been so careful, so cautious with all of her previous jumps, never directly interacting with the past versions of her family members. Who knows how this interaction will impact the future? It could make it better, it could make it worse, or create a time paradox or something... Despite the risks, Helena finds herself doing it anyway. She’s scared, exhausted and lonely. No one knows who she truly is and what her real goal is - to prevent Bruce and Selina’s future murder. Cass doesn’t know and she wants to tell her so bad.

“Hey, Cass,” she halfheartedly greets her companion, “I..Umm.. Can I...?”Her voice cracks and her eyes are water just at the thought of telling the truth. “Can I tell you something crazy? And can you try to believe me? Please?”

Just when he thought he was getting better at reading body language and understanding her, he’s proved wrong once more. Then again, fear and guilt are two similar emotions, arguably two sides of the same coin. With guilt people fear the consequences of their actions. They fear the choices they didn’t make.  They fear themselves. Could that be it - could she be feeling guilt?

Call it bat instincts, call it fatherly instincts - he places a hand on her shoulder, fingers curling around the joint, gently squeezing. “Cassandra,” it’s rare for him to say her full name instead of the short and sweet nickname of Cass. He only ever calls her Cassandra when she’s in trouble, or when he’s trying to make a more positive but equally as serious point. He loves her and will always be there for her. Although the weight of the situation threatens to crush his own shoulders, he pushes through not because he’s determined to, but because she needs him too. “Cassandra,” he repeats, but this time he says it softer. “Do not carry that weight all by yourself. That’s an order. Not from Batman, but from your father.” He drops his hand from her shoulder, but only because he replaces the gesture with another one. Arms spread, he makes a silent offering, hug?

hawkeye (2012) #11 but it's just ace being a menace out and about in gotham

If you followed Ace around for a day you’d see the complex lifestyle of comedy and tragedy. Fighting other dogs in an epic battle scene proving that he’s still the king of the strays, visiting his lady dog friends for some romance, playing with some local kids and picking up some lunch from behind his favorite restaurants. Coming back home in time to greet his humans when they come home
