Dannys at Wayne enterprise because his parents want to submit their inventions and "scientific" discoverys for official review. He's bored out of his mind and meets this beautiful girl his age and strikes up a conversation with her. (Or he meets a girl and starts to rant like his father.)
Danny: im just saying Orphan has to be a vampire!
????(cass): No.
Danny: Are you kidding me? She moves with far to much elegance and grace to be mortal. Credit to the other bats but they move like mortals. She dances around both rogues and vigilantes!
????(cass): *blushing* No vampire.
Danny: ok maybe not a vampire but like a shadow demon or dhamphir or something! She's to much!
????(cass): orphan. Is. good. What about others?
Danny: oh! stabby robin and red hood are top tier obviously!
????(cass): oh?
Danny: well yeah! Stabby robin practices the art of the sword, a forgotten art in modern times. And red hood shoots pedophiles! Who doesn't like that?
????(cass): Batman.
Danny: well that says something about batman doesn't it. Have you seen the first Robin's outfit? Oof!
*in cass's ear*: Red Robin here. Good job on keeping danny distracted orphan. We're in the process of arresting Danny's parents. Can you keep it up?
????(cass): mhmm. Hey. Cute boy. Take me out to lunch?
Danny: Oh! Yeah! My parents will take hours explaining everything anyway, But uhm. What's your name?
????(cass): call me cass. This is a date, Yes?
Danny: *blushing* oh, uhm, yes. I'm Danny by the way.
Cass: Danny very cute.
Red robin: uhm? You don't have to do that orphan. Hello? ...Please don't make me explain this to B. Orphan?
Batman: Follow. Them.
Bruce; Duke and Cass are my angel children. They tell me everything.
Batkids; glaring.
Cass who never told B she’s died twice and fr has done some of the most insane shit; smiles innocently.
Duke who blew up a warehouse last night and replaced Jason’s grappling gun with a slinky; Thanks B!
Steph: You ever think about how Cass could be in this very room watching us at any moment and we would never know? Tim: Well I'm thinking about it now. Thanks. Damian: I would know. Cass: No you wouldn't.
Someone please write a fic abt how Kara knows Bruce’s identity cause she’s dating/married to Babs and Hal knows because Bruce told him in that one comic but now he regrets it.
Anyways, they are tired of Bruce and Clark’s pining so they play matchmaker while everyone else has no clue what’s going on.
I eventually want to write a whole post or two talking about the differences and similarities of Ollie and Mia and Bruce and Cass because both are fascinating in how they basically get their adopted daughters only a few years apart and how they view and treat them. But one of the most intriguing differences is in how Ollie and Bruce treat the idea of their daughters killing
Bruce is sent footage showing Cassandra's first and only kill at the age of 8 and he immediately believes it to be fake because he can't imagine Cass ever being able to take a life since she understands her mission and his no killing rule to her very core. So even the idea of Cassandra being able to kill is something he doesn't believe and refuses to even think about.
Ollie meanwhile sees Mia kill a man on her first night out before even becoming Speedy because the city needed all the help it could get at the time and the man who was accidentally responsible begged Ollie to kill him to prevent more damage and Mia out of fear and believing his threats of more pain and loss shoots an arrow killing him. And while Ollie is shocked he doesn't blame Mia. He understands she thought she was doing the right thing and is clearly already kicking herself enough as is so he just comforts her and never blames Mia for his death. In fact he blames himself for letting her out with him in the first place.
It's just one of the many interesting parallels you can draw between these two father-daughter duos

when I told a friend that I was a devout member of the “English teacher Jason Todd” headcanon, her addition was: “what if he catches one of his students in a gang or something? He begins to deal psychic damage while beating people up”
Jason: YOU DIDNT EVEN KNOW HOW TO INDENT A PARAGRAPH UNTIL A WEEK AGO, JARED. PUT THE GUN AWAY Jared: *runs* Jason: *yelling at his back* YES, GO CRY TO THE MOM WHO WAS WRITING YOUR ESSAYS UNTIL TENTH GRADE
the gangs start avoiding him because they’ve found out that any of their newer, younger recruits will flee at the sight of him. (By god, how did he know about that horrible test score? That awkward boner? That PE incident involving a stinky shoe? How did he have that kid’s MOM’S PHONE NUMBER???)
Green Arrow walks up to Batman in a meeting one day and punches him in the face.
Batman; what was that for?
Green Arrow; pushing me off the swing in 3d grade when it was STILL MY FUCKING TURN!
Batman; that’s what you’re upset about?
Green Arrow; yeah.
Batman; I literally called your mom a wh*re cause she got eaten by lions in front of you.
Green Arrow; well… the swing thing sticks with me more so fuck you.
Green Arrow dramatically storms out of the room while the JL looks at Bats in shock meanwhile Canary is glaring at Batman and Flash fell over laughing.
Cass: Can I have your burger.
Dick:??? No I'm eating it. You have your own right there.
Cass: Remember when you abandoned me to Slade when I was drugged and mind controlled and then after I got free the first thing you did was punch me in the face.
Dick, sliding his burger over: You KNOW it's more complicated than that. You know it.
Tim, watching this all go down: Hey Jason remember when you broke into Titans tower just to beat me up?
Jason, taking a large bite of his own burger: Keep annoying me and this time I'll do more than just leave you unconscious.
Tim: :/
Cass, whispering to him: You gotta go for the ones with guilt complexes. It doesn't work otherwise.
Tim: Gotcha, good to know.
Cass:... Soo remember when I was drugged and brainwashed and you did nothing but accept it for months?
Tim, grumbling and sliding his own burger over to her: I never accepted it! That's just not true!
Cass, now eating three burgers at once: :)
when ignoring how fucked up it is, its a wee bit funny to me that steph was the most ethically responsible robin and then the one that bruce treated the worst.
because dick was like 10 when he became robin, what the fuck were you doing making a ten yo go fight crime? plus he was under bruce's care which is like a massive thing of coercion and power dynamics.
jason had like NEGATIVE reason to be robin, he just needed to have a home and therapy probably
tim didnt want to be robin he just thought that batman needed one. and after getting adopted there is once again the issue of being under your virtual boss's care
and Oh God Damian. it was technically dick's fault this time but like kid did not have a choice in the way he was raised and shouldve gotten like happy fun learning to be a kid times not violent child soldier times
all of that compared to steph who
was already a vigilante when meeting bruce
voluntarily chose to be a vigilante
was not under bruce's care or guardianship and had a trusted adult
was almost a legal adult herself
had some fighting experience
like BRO in terms of ethics steph is The Best option and then she was treated like absolute Garbage. wild shit.
The batkids love “Uncle Ollie” because he’s the cool uncle who comes over and randomly throws things at them to catch in increasingly tricky intervals.
They’re flipping backwards over furniture trying to catch random little darts constantly whenever Oliver’s there to talk to Bruce about JL stuff. They need to catch the thing, which drives Bruce quietly crazy even as he acknowledges it’s a useful test of reflexes.
Uncle Ollie sometimes gets bold enough to try and throw shit at Bruce. This isn’t a good idea for several reasons.
