Skull Flame: Yes... that's... that is EXACTLY what happened last chapter.
GriffonicTobias: Fuck off
Vaderz: Eventually
Mr. unknow: No
Shootbing Star Dragon 3000: *shrugs*
Jss2141: Yes. Because she doesn't understand that sort of love anymore
deverest: No. No it wasn't. It was the WORST line!
I mean... REALLY?!
Molly Weasley has no connection to Bellatrix and it was more or less stated she was only good at spells to do with housework... and yet she somehow killed such a powerful and skilled Death Eater?
If it was Remus or Tonks, getting revenge for Sirius, it would have worked. Heck it would have made extra sense with Tonks since her mother was kicked from the Black family tree and Tonks' mother was Bellatrix's sister.
Here are a few reviews answered by Ghost:
Shooting Star Dragon 3000: Yeah, it's tough. Maybe. And it's just going to get worse.
Mr. unknow: Molly Weasley from Deathly Hallows, actually. Though the line COULD be used in Aliens.
Vaderz: He'll think it's overkill to use his Kryptonian form for just Lady Shiva.
GriffonicTobias: Wouldn't you?
Skull Flame: Wait and see what happens.

James' Harem 2
Chapter 26: Legend of Shiva Part 3 Life Choices
We are in a warehouse, a place where Lady Shiva had tricked/forced Cassandra into killing a man. The assassin was now holding onto Cassandra, the two talking. Shiva was talking, getting into her head
"See? That pesky guilt is gone now." Shiva said as she pulled back "Now. How do you feel?"
Cassandra grew deathly silent, thinking about it. Casting a glance at the body, at the man SHE killed "I-"
CRASH!
The Titans and New Teen Titans crashed through the roof, light filling the dark building
"GET AWAY FROM MY DAUGHTER YOU BITCH!" Duela roared as she brought down her hammer
The two Asian warriors jumped away, staying side by side. Shiva as calm and cool as ever and Cassandra wide eyed 'M-Mummy.' Cass thought as she saw Duela
"The Titans. Finally." Shiva smiled "And you brought the children again. Interesting."
"Not. ALL of us." Bart answered bitterly, not immediately noticing Cassandra there from the strange outfit she wore. He almost thought there was a mirror next to Shiva
"Give us back Cass." James spoke clearly, a little scared because of this woman's reputation before they noticed her beside Shiva
"Now why would I give my daughter back when she is happy beside her real mother?" Shiva asked as she held Cassandra close, the Titans shocked and confused by the act as well as Cassandra's outfit
Cassandra was looking down, wearing the same outfit as Shiva.
"Cass? What're you wearing?" Duela asked in shock.
"Yeah... What are you wearing?" Bart blushed and gulped, she looked beautiful in that outfit
"What? Like mother, like daughter." Shiva smiled, a hand on each other Cassandra's shoulders from behind as she kissed Cassandra's cheek in an over the top fashion leaving a black lipstick mark in her daughters Asian flesh
Cass flinched as she felt that kiss, embarrassed and scared to see BOTH sides of her family seeing her like this. After she'd done... That
"Let her go!" Nightwing hissed
"Oh? You think she wants to leave after what she did? Or would you even WANT her back after what she did?" Shiva mocked before she whispered to Cassandra "Tell them. Tell then what you did."
"Cass? What is she-?" Nightwing asked
"Kill." Cass interrupted.
The word coming from Cass' lips stunned the group.
"I. Killed. Someone." Cass clarified, holding back tears, exposing what she had just done. Pointing to the body "I killed. Like mother. It's... Who I am..."
"No. NO! That is NOT who you are!" Bart answered
Shiva frowned and pushed Cassandra forward, silently instructing her to fight
Duela looked at Cass and felt heart-broken; she didn't want to believe it. "Cass." And as she said that, Cassandra was in a fighting pose.
'I can't go back.' Cassandra thought in self horror, she didn't think she could live with herself. Her family would never trust her again; they would never truly love her again
Duela walked forward towards her, looking at Cass with each step.
'Lamb to the slaughter. Show her, Cassandra.' Shiva thought to herself, while indicating to Cass but Cassandra was shaking, crying
'I can't... Hurt her...' the Batgirl thought. Shiva frowned and pushed past Cassandra, using her head to urge her to attack the others 'N-No.' Cass looked up and shook in fear.
James readied his Matrix on an alien...He'd need something to hold back this woman...if only for a moment.
Shiva rushed forward and started battling the adult Titans.
James flashed in yellow as he transformed into an alien, Raven used her magic to block Shiva's fists, Nightwing was battling her using his own martial arts. But Nightwing and Duela where being thrown around, James had turned into SonicWave and blasted her into a wall. She hissed and threw her sword, dodging Raven's magic blast
"ARGH!" Raven screamed as she felt the blade cut her arm.
Cyberian aimed his cannon at Shiva, with a paralysing blast and shot and his arm cannon was shot by her gun "ARGH! Shoot!" He yelled, grabbing his arm, though a gun like that shouldn't have made this much damage.
Cassandra fought back her tears, charging at the Teen Titans
"Cass, wait don't-!" Bart tried to get through to her, dodging her attacks
CLANG!
"She's our ENEMY, Flash!" Rose blocked her attack with her sword.
Cass felt her heartbreak at those words, her eyes looking fogged over as she accepted that. Argent created a force field around Cass, trying to keep her in check, but with only one arm she couldn't keep full concentration. Cassandra threw some explosive at the bubble, making it crack and shatter from Argent loosing focus
Bart ran around behind Cass and tried to hold her back, not violently, but in a hug. "Cass. Please. Don't do this!" Cass froze... And slammed her head back, slamming it against his nose. Bart grunted as he was slammed, landing on his ass from Cass' attack.
James was having trouble holding Shiva back; true, as Soundwave he could rupture her ears, but she could read him like a book. And whenever he tried to give a powerful strike she turned her attention onto him. He had to try something else 'Viscous? No, she'd destroy the disk, my normal state? Ripped off wings!' He thought "But... There's this." he smiled, thinking of his intangibility powers and going to a different alien. In a flash, James had transformed into a new alien. One shrouded in a pale ghostly white skin.
"What the devil is that?" Shiva asked
James appeared before her in his alien guise; rake thin, a deep purple eye with sunken skin that seemed to be twisted around the socket, thin bone fingers, chains made from a purple material around his hands and throat. He had no legs but the iconic ghostly tail with a small purple flame lit at the bottom. And across his chest was a large zip, with a broken zipper holding it in place "Pol. Ter. GEIST!" He proclaimed. He spread his arms wide, stretching and charging
Shiva threw a punch right at James, trying to stop him...but her hands just phased through them
VRRRRRRRR!
The zipper began to pull itself down and expose what was inside.
...
"That's ugly." she frowned, grabbing the tentacles that where inside and throwing him into Changeling
"WHOA!" Changeling ducked, only to have James phase through him.
'SHIT!' James cursed as he went through the floor.
Cass was kicking the asses of Jason, Rose and Garth all at the same time. Grabbing their arms, blocking their attacks, throwing them around and kicking their asses 'Please. Stop.' She thought, wanting to speak, but her tears were too much. Fighting her fr...the Titans was hurting her internally. As well as what Rose said. She was her as an enemy... She was their enemy... She wasn't their friend anymore.
Because she killed. Because of who her mother is
"I'm sorry Cass." Jason panted "This is all my fault. Batman told us to AVOID Shiva because he knew... And I ignored him. I thought with you, we'd win."
Snap
You aren't like them. Like mother, like daughter. I never doubted your potential my dear.
Like mother, like daughter
January 26th
Your power will be immense. And in this world power is all that we truly have. You will become like me. People will worship you. For power is all people care about.
Cass looked down, her hair shadowing her eye "Mother... Was right." she muttered weakly.
Her own 'family' only saw her as a weapon, only wanted her for her power.
Power was all that mattered
Her mother was right.
Bart saw Cass, how much she was struggling, he ran at her again, trying to stop her. Using what SHE knew. Better than anyone on her team.
Cass punched Rose in the chest and threw her away, grabbing Jason by his neck and flipping him over her shoulder before kicking him away. She turned to Bart and charged forward, punching him across the jaw. She expected him to dodge, already planning a counter attack
This is who she was.
A weapon, a killer
Her mother was-
SMACK!
Bart's head fell to the side as he took the punch, making Cassandra's eyes widen. He took that punch on purpose and refused to retaliate or dodge. She saw how he was openly taking hits. 'NO! No! Hate me!' she thought, throwing another hit
'I don't hate you Cassandra. No one does.' Bart thought as he took hit after hit, hoping his body language was giving across the message he wanted 'Shiva... She's your mother. But she didn't raise you. She wasn't there for you.'
'Hate me! Hate me! I'm a killer!' Cassandra cried as she threw hit after hit, Bart eventually on his back with Cassandra's arm raised back for the final blow
'She is. You're not. You have her skill... But you're a hero.' Bart tried to tell her with his body language 'You're Batgirl. Dick, Duela and Oracle love you.' he reached up and held her hand
'Killer! I'm a killer! A monster!' she continued to cry
'If you think so. Then kill me.' he said, putting her hand on his chest 'Kill me and prove it. Prove you WANT to be like her. Because you're not. We know this.'
Cass cried as she tried to deal the death blow... But she couldn't
She couldn't kill her friend
She couldn't kill an innocent.
She couldn't murder
But then she read something else in his language. In his body. Something deeply and honestly true. Three statements she'd read all the time from her... From her family... In the tower
I want you
I need you
I love you
'L-Love?' She looked up at him and saw the words in his movement. Her world seemed to turn frozen in time, her face a bright red blush. You could almost see the world around them turn pink with love hearts as she looked down at Bart, almost straddling his waist
"What? Did-Did I say something wrong?" he asked, not realizing what his body language had told the battle goddess
She blushed and looked down; the younger Teen Titans had stopped their attacks. They could tell. She wasn't going to attack anymore
James glared as he battled Shiva, using his tentacles as spears. Shooting them back and pulling them back, trying to catch Shiva. She parried them however; the martial artist was too good with this.
"Okay. Enough fucking around!" James answered phasing into the floor...and the shadows began to move. ALL the shadows began to move.
"What is this?" Shiva asked, actually looking scared for a moment
SHINK!
A shadow spike lunged at Shiva, slicing at her arm. Shiva tried to move her feet, but she couldn't; the shadows hand pinned her feet to the floor, unable to move a single inch.
THUD!
Shiva's face was punched by a large fist, then an elephant's foot, followed by kicks and sticks, connecting to her body. Hitting their mark. One in the gut, one to down her legs, again in her face.
"How is this-?" Cyberian asked in shock.
"Don't fuck with ghosts." Changeling answered
Shiva crashed into a wall and coughed, blood dripping from her mouth and a few small wounds
James phased through the shadows and glared evilly at Shiva. "Give. Her. Back." He spoke with his haunted voice, almost like a menacing gasp of each breath
"Give who back? My daughter? Shouldn't it be HER choice?" Shiva asked, some humanity in her eyes while also sounding mocking. There was a twisted love in her voice, a desire to stay with her daughter, but also a mocking tone saying they couldn't take Cass from her if she and Cassandra refused
"Cass." Duela turned to her adoptive daughter and looked at her, still there standing with Bart.
Suddenly Shiva stabbed the skin next to James' Matrix, where it merged under the flesh. He yelled in pain as he was reverted to human, not killed but it hurt like hell! She then walked towards Duela and Nightwing, looking confident and powerful. Like she was going to kill them or talk as the queen of the world but you could not tell which "Cassandra." Shiva called out but she didn't respond
"Bart." Cassandra whispered and let go of Bart's chest, hugging him
"I-Wow..." he blinked at her sudden action
Shiva growled and glared at the adopted parents "You both have my respect for raising my daughter-"
"YOU'RE daughter?!" Duela snapped, unable to help herself "Where were YOU when Cassandra had nightmares, to hug and comfort her?! Where were YOU when she had a cold?! When she had her first period?! When she was learning to read?! When she wore her first dress?! You were NOWHERE! You're just the artificial womb! The incubator! You aren't a mother, you abandoned her! She may not be our blood but WE are her parents! We and Oracle!"
Shiva glared at Duela from that snap at her...But she was right.
"Well now it is time for me to live up to my position." she said and raised her sword "While it may be Cassandra's choice to leave with you. If you wish to -take- her from me, then you two must beat and kill me by yourself."
"... For my daughter... I'd cross that line." Dick said in anger, holding his Escrima stick's tightly
"For OUR daughter." Duela got up, slightly bloody and bruised; she readied her hammer and glared Shiva.
And the battle began
"James?" Argent asked as she pulled James up, James clutching his Matrix
"Fuckin' fuck. I guess I now know a weakness of mine." James hissed in pain, looking down at his Matrix. It dig into his skin, almost looking like an infection with how his skin was broken and raised around it. The skin was always sensitive. It made sense a strong strike in that area, especially by a sword hitting right between the Matrix and the flesh, would be pure agony
"We-We'll try and fix it." Argent tried to help
"I know...Need a guard or something." James answered as he saw Duela and Dick fight Shiva...how could THEY fight her off, when the GROUP couldn't?
Over with Bart and Cass he continued to hold her, Cassandra hugging him so hard she might break his back as she cried, but he didn't fight back. He returned the hug, accepting it... accepting her.
Accepting her, the true her, with no restraint
Jason saw them...seeing how they were...and began to crawl away while everyone was transfixed on Duela and Dick. He felt ashamed. He leaned against a wall, panting as he dragged himself away
"Bart." Cass said as she pulled back, looking into his eyes
"Cass." He smiled as he looked at her, happy to see her back with them. But he was shocked when she closed her eyes and started to move her face towards his, instinctively going 'super speed vision mode' to give him time to process that this was real.
Her eyes softly closed as she moved towards him. Her black painted lips, the lipstick probably applied by Shiva, puckered slightly as she drew closer to his lips. She... She was really going to do this
She was going to kiss him
SHE was going to kiss HIM
On the lips
It was her choice to kiss him on the lips
She wanted to kiss him on the lips
So, he let time go back to normal and felt her kiss him on the lips... but he only felt the ghost of the contact, as she ran away from him for some reason before their lips touched
...
"Huh?" he blinked, seeing her sprinting towards the battle
Cass had noticed it from the corner of her eye the second she closed them, reacting instantly. Her adopted parents where on the floor, Shiva preparing a kick to Dick's chest that would kill him.
A finishing blow
"NO!" she cried as she got between the kick, raising her arms and blocking the attack. Agony filled her body as her right arm broke, the impact shooting through her body and breaking her left arm. But she held her ground, having stopped the attack, making the three's eyes widen as they realised she was there
"CASS!" Duela screamed as she saw her.
"Cassie!" Dick yelled, Cassandra's right arm dropping limp from being broken
"Daughter." Shiva blinked, pulling her leg back "You choose them, over me?"
Cass breathed heavily and then with shallow breaths, her eyes and actions said ALL she needed to say.
The two stood there, staring at each other for several seconds
...
Shiva reached out and grasped Cassandra's head, kissing her forehead "I do care for you daughter. I wish I had found you all those years ago." she said confidently "We will cross paths again in the future." she reached into her outfit, pulling a card out that was hidden between her breasts "Here. I was going to use this to try and make up for those years I missed. There is roughly 3 million dollars in this account. Under Sandra Wu-San. You should know the password."
Cassandra took the card and looked at it...she had a feeling she WOULD need it soon.
"I wish you luck, daughter." she commented, looking over Cass' shoulder "The two of you better continue your good work." she then looked over her shoulder and glared at Bart, unsheathing her sword silently. She then walked out of the room.
Bloodied, bruised, beaten and limping she still commanded respect and confidence as she left
The Titans were back together. Beaten, bloody...but together.
"Let's. Let's head home." Duela smiled, hugging her daughter.
Cassandra nodded and hugged her tightly
*time skip*
The Titans had returned back to the hospital, Cass was getting fixed up, James had a cast over his matrix arm to help heal the wound and everyone else had their stitches fixed
Cass had her right arm in a sling, slumped against Dick. She was upset about this outfit, about everything that happened, but there was a strange... satisfaction. A strange... completion she felt after all this
Like she finally knew who she was
She was Cassandra. Daughter of Duela Dent, Barbara Gordon and Dick Grayson.
THAT was who she that was not ALL she was
She was also the daughter of Sandra Wu-San
She was Cassandra Grayson-Gordon. She was a hero. She was born a weapon but that wasn't what she was. She was made to be a killer but she chose not to be.
She was a warrior and she chose to be a hero
"I'm sorry Cassandra." Argent muttered to the girl as they entered the living room
Cassandra looked at Argent and extended her left arm, signalling a hug.
Tori hugged her tightly, holding back her tears "If I hadn't frozen you would have been safe." Tori mumbled softly "I'll do better next time."
"Hey, what's this?" Garth commented, Aqualad picking up a letter which had Jason's mask tied to it
"Give it here." Dick somewhat ordered as Garth handed it over.
Dick opened the letter by undoing the mask. It was in Jason's handwriting, written very simply.
I'm sorry.
I quit.
Dick dropped the mask as he held the letter in his hand.
"Daddy?" Cass asked as she saw his reaction.
"God Jason." Dick whispered, his hand going to his head as guilt filled him
"What's wrong?" Garth asked
"His room. Go to his room!" Dick ordered, with Aqualad running in response.
"Dick, what's going on?" Toni asked, Dick giving the letter in response. "Oh no!"
Dick got up and wanted to go but, he looked at Cass. "Go."
He nodded, knowing she understood as she herself was trying to get up. 'Oh GOD, Jason!' He thought running to his room. He slammed the door open and saw that his room was ransacked. Like he had just haphazardly thrown stuff around. 'Oh GOD, Jason!' He thought running to his room. He slammed the door open and saw that his room was ransacked. Like he had just haphazardly thrown stuff around.
Clothes, tooth brush, wallet. Everything.
Well. Not EVERYTHING.
He left his birdarangs, the masks. All of those were left on the floor. Either scattered, thrown into a wall at an angle, or torn up. The costume was nowhere to be found, except for his window being open.
Aqualad had jumped out the window to try and find him, thinking he had done something worse.
"He...he's gone." Dick whispered
Outside of the tower, Aqualad was searching the shore around the tower...and he found something. He swam straight for it, it looked human. Jason's height. About the same size.
He grabbed it hoping that it wasn't true and swam as fast as he could, carrying it!
...it was the mannequin. The one Jason propped up his costume in. It was torn, slashed, cleaved apart by something sharp.
The letter 'R' was removed, done by a blade, or a birdarang that was shoved right into the chest.
Jason was gone from the tower.
*elsewhere*
Gotham City, dank, bleak, dark. Rain clouds were overhead and started to pour with bullets.
Wayne Manor was standing isolated among the masses, a gated home where only a small family lived.
A lone figure was standing outside the gate, pelted with the heavy rain, beating him with their weight. The figure only wished for the rain to hit harder, for the emotions he felt could only beg for it to beat him more, for the guilt he felt made him numb...or wanted to be punished.
CREAAAK.
The figure pulled the gate open with all his strength, to get a little way in, as he pulled his drenched and slashed travel bag. The mud made it harder for the figure to pull; the wheels had gotten stuck in small puddles that were filled with mud.
The figure managed after a moment, pulling himself and the case up the winding road which lead to the resplendent manor, brightly light windows, fanciful bushes that were trimmed back with amazing topiary skills.
CRUNCH.
The sound of the driveway stones were underfoot, the drag became harder with the millions of shards of stones halting the pull; but the figure continued...and we barely see his face, bruised and cut up. Like he was in a fight and he lost...with fresh wounds.
Ding, dong.
He pushed the front door button with a cast covered arm, hoping for a response...but he didn't blame the Wayne's for not answering right now.
CLICK
The door's latch opened and revealed an elderly man wearing a neatly pressed black suit, trimmed grey moustache and grey hair. The air of dignity and proper education was about him. "Yes-? Master Todd!" The man asked before he looked in shock.
The figure was Jason. Red bloodshot, heavy bagged eyes, bruises and cuts on his face from his fight with Shiva...and a few good hits on himself.
The man grabbed the young boy in shock and horror, he had never seen the young boy in such a state. "Master Todd; What-?" He asked before Jason leaned onto his chest, dropping his bag and cried.
"I-I messed up Alfred! I'm sorry! I'm so sorry!" the normally tough guy cried against the elder man "I'm so sorry!"
"Oh Master Todd. Let's go, let's get you something to eat." the butler urged softly
*elsewhere*
We find Shiva walking away from the town, coming to a stop under the storm "I hear you."
Deathstroke emerged from the darkness, his sword on his shoulder "You almost killed my daughter."
"She knew better than to fight me. You taught her better." Shiva replied "And she did not die. You know I will kill you, Slade."
"Fair enough." he shrugged "But you should know there is a danger around those Titan's. Something is coming for them. Have you heard of Brother Blood?"
"Of course." she nodded "And his cult for that supposed demon, Trigon."
"It's real." Slade frowned "That Titan, Raven, is his daughter. The demon has plans to come to our world. If he does, our children are in danger."
"... then we have missions while we are on our individual missions and journeys." Shiva nodded and walked off
*Titan's Tower*
Bart was walking Cassandra to her room as the rain fell, feeling nervous 'Okay. You can do this. Y-You can talk to her. No, stupid. You can't TALK to her...' Bart ran off his mind before he looked at her.
"Thank you Bart. Saved me." Cassandra smiled, pressing her still painted lips against his as she suddenly kissed him
Bart gasped as he felt her lips press against his. His heart began to pound in his chest, not believing his luck...sure he almost died twice, beaten to a bloody pulp and left for death.
But. Kissed by a pretty girl.
Kissed by the most BEAUTIFUL girl in the world...
"Boyfriend now." Cassandra stated mater of factly as she broke the kiss
"I-Oh..." Bart blinked dumbly "Er... A-Amazing... I'll try to be a good one."
"Know you will." she smiled softly
...
"So... Are you going to keep that outfit?" he smiled charmingly
SLAM!
"Ow!" Bart groaned as Cassandra filled him over her shoulder and slammed him onto the floor
"Love you to." Cassandra smiled, walking into her room
"HELL YEAH!" Bart cheered happily
Cassandra sighed happily as her door closed, pride filling her at another choice SHE made... and she noticed a package and a letter on the bed. She blinked in confusion, taking the package and opening it with her one hand. Who was it from? She picked the letter up and opened it, removing the letter... and it was written in pictures of martial arts katas and positions. While to most people this was nonsense but to Cass... it was the deepest, most emotional letter she could ever read
Dearest Daughter... Cassandra
I shall give you the truth
The reason you were conceived
David Cain wished to create the ultimate warrior... I wanted the one thing that could kill me
I lied to you daughter. The guilt does not go away, not truly. I have killed so many... the scales are unbalanced. I am TOO powerful
I must die... but a warrior cannot kill themselves. That is why you were born
One day daughter we shall meet. We shall fight... and either I kill you or you kill me.
I am sorry for what you have gone through. For the lack of love that Cain gave you... the lack of love I gave you. I wish I could change it but I cannot
Continue your path as a warrior, my daughter, and I shall do the same. We may cross paths again in the future before that fateful day and I hope they are better than today... but know I am proud of you daughter.
My little Cassandra Wu-Say
If you ever need me... I shall come
Love,
Your mother by blood
Sandra Wu-Say
Cass held the letter close to her chest, tearing up by her biological mother's 'words'. She looked at the box, seeing similar 'words' atop it
You are not a 'GIRL' anymore. Time for a new look my dear.
Happy Birthday my dear Black Bat
She opened up the parcel...and beheld a new costume for her. Black with a large yellow bat. She reached in and pulled the costume from the box, watching it unfold.
The material was strange. Light and flexible but still strong and sturdy.
She looked the material over, taking in all the details of her new suit and imagining she was wearing it. It was a primarily black suit, a large golden bat that went from her shoulders to her hips, a yellow utility belt, three fins on her arms like Batman's, a flowing cape, a full face mask with golden-edged eye lenses, golden bracers and shin guards.
She could imagine herself deep in the shadows. Covered by night. Inflicting fear upon those who dare attack the city. She would become a BETTER Bat...WOMAN.
She smiled and hugged the suit, pride filling her like never before
Shiva may be a monster, a killer... but she was her mother.
She now had three mothers.
She had a father.
And she had a boyfriend
She had her life... and she was proud
*? ? ?*
Two figures ran through the rain, laughing together. A black haired woman, wearing a black shirt and blue jeans; and a brown-haired man wearing a red shirt and black jeans. The guy was using a jacket as a way to keep them both dry, or as dry as possible
"Here we are." the guy smiled as they arrived at an apartment "I had a great night."
"Hmm." The woman nodded as she looked at him, her hair slightly wet. The guy leaned down and kissed her, making sure to keep them dry. The woman cupped his cheeks and kissed back, holding him close. Eventually the man broke the kiss and smiled "I love you."
"Love you to." she nodded slightly, barley vocalizing but her smile said it all
"So... can I come in?" he smiled softly
SLAM!
The girl suddenly grabbed his arm and judo flipped him, slamming him against the floor and making him laugh
"Come on Cass! You said I was forgiven!" he laughed at her action, revealing the girl was an 18 year old Cassandra Grayson-Gordon
"Still no." she replied "First time will be magical, not make up for bad prank Bart."
"I wasn't implying sex!" the older Bart Allen whined "It is raining and I wanted to fall sleep holding you romantically under a blanket as we watch bad TV!"
"Sweetheart." Cassandra smiled and kissed his cheek "See you tomorrow." she nodded and walked inside her apartment
"See you tomorrow." He waved and rubbed his back. "...She's warming up." He smiled
Cassandra leaned against her wall and let out a sad sigh. It had been several months since her father and two of her uncles died. She was emotionally devastated, struggling to keep herself together
The world just felt... wrong without him
She held her hand over her heart...and looked to a picture of her and her family. Suddenly she spotted a shadow around the corner; a figure was in her living room. She readied herself, balling her hands into fists. Whoever was in here, they WOULDN'T be leaving without bruises. She stalked into the living room... and gasped
Lady Shiva had sat down in her favourite chair, legs crossed with a soft smile "Hello daughter dear. I believed that you needed a shoulder to cry on."
Cass lowered her guard just an inch...but saw that her biological mother meant no harm. She was just there to be supportive. She rushed over and hugged her, crying
"There, there Cassandra. There, there." Shiva soothed
