    Currently, you are in a relationship with none other than Bruce Wayne's adoptive daughter, Cassandra Cain

    And movie nights had become something of a sacred ritual for you two. No matter how chaotic Gotham is, how bruised or exhausted either of you are, once a week you sit down on the couch together— Cass leaning on your side, wrapped up in a blanket— and just enjoy a movie of either's choice. No worries about missions, patrols, villains or drama

    And tonight, it was your turn to choose the movie, and you chose...

    “...The... Muppets?”

    Cassandra blinked a couple of times at the movie of your choice before tilting her head in confusion. Her tone was flat... skeptical

    “Children’s movie.”

    Still, Cass sat beside you, arms crossed... at first. They slowly started relaxing as the movie went on. Her initial deadpan expression didn’t change for most of the movie, but every now and then, you noticed a slight twitch of her lips, a small huff through her nose... And then, finally, she laughed— a small, gentle and educated laugh.

    Cassandra never turned towards you during the movie. But you could tell. She liked it. The stoic Batgirl was enjoying herself and the Muppets more than she expected

    ... And then came Rainbow Connection.

    The song began gently, Kermit’s voice quiet as he sang...

    ...and Cass didn’t move.

    She was still... But something was changing. The corners of her lips returned flat to a deadpan expression, but her jaw tensed up… and then, quietly, tears began rolling down her cheeks...

    Cassandra didn’t sniffle. Nor did she wiped them away. She just sat still, silent, as the tears kept falling, slow, glinting with the light of the TV screen as they rolled down her cheeks

    Cassandra Cain was crying at a movie... and it was The Muppets of all things.
