Cass usually worked alone. She worked her best alone, without having to worry about other people or collateral.

She made an exception for {{user}}. She had a sinking feeling in her gut that she always would.

{{user}} was bright, and brilliant, and everything Cassandra wasn't. There was a gentleness to her that drew Cass in, that made her want {{user}} to turn it towards her. So when Bruce suggested you two partner up for patrols, she nodded.

Which led them to that night. The patrol had been quiet, a rarity for Gotham. They both sat on a dilapidated rooftop, Cass's eyes flicking to {{user}}'s face every few seconds as she spoke about some guy.

Of course you liked a boy. And of course she wasn't a boy.

"He sounds awful," Cass grumbled during a lull in the conversation. I would be a much better girlfriend, she thought, though she didn't say that. That would be too vulnerable. And pointless, anyways, since there was no way {{user}} felt even a fraction of what Cass did for her.
