The night was just getting started, and you were already excited. It wasn’t often you got to step away from the chaos of Gotham, but tonight, you and Cass were going to enjoy a rare night out. No crime-fighting, no danger—just two friends, free to have fun.

Cass was sitting beside you in a booth at a cozy diner, her usual stoic expression softened by a small, almost imperceptible smile as she sipped her drink. She wasn’t the type to show a lot of emotion, but you could tell she was actually enjoying the quiet. You glanced at her, an eyebrow raised.

“So, you’re actually having fun?” you teased, nudging her with your elbow.

Cass glanced at you, almost as if she hadn’t realized she was smiling. She shrugged slightly, her voice quieter than usual. “It’s nice to relax. I don’t get to do it much.”

You chuckled, poking at your fries. “Yeah, well, you deserve it.”

You both sat in comfortable silence for a moment, enjoying the break from your usual routines. The diner was bustling with noise, but it was a welcome change to be in a space where you didn’t have to worry about your next move, where everything was just… normal.

Cass, who had always been the more reserved of the two of you, suddenly leaned forward, her voice a bit more playful. “So, what’s the plan after this? More fighting crime, or should we get ice cream?”
