Summary
Cassandra Cain's life was dictated by a handful of facts. First, that her father had placed a curse of obedience on her when she was just a baby. Second, that she was on the run from him and could never let herself be caught. Third, that she was a murderer. And fourth, that she would never kill again.
But when she stumbles upon her father in the wreckage that was Gotham after the earthquakes turned it into a lawless no man's Land, all but the first of these things ceased to matter. How could they matter when Jim Gordon's life was on the line? And while Batman seemed to think that he could save everyone, Cass knew better than to expect salvation for herself.
She just needed to keep her curse a secret for long enough to save the commissioner's life. Even if it meant giving her life to do so.
_____
An exploration of Cass's origin story set in a world where her silence is instead a symptom of a curse of obedience.

Summary
When Match fails to complete his mission to kill Project Thirteen, he takes the unconscious idiot on the road as he flees for his life, defecting from the organization that created and raised him. He makes it less than three hours before his newfound freedom is stripped away and he is taken into Justice League custody.
Match doesn't have high hopes for the future, especially not once he finds out that he's going to be kept in Batman's custody, but he's at the very least starting to think he might be able to avoid decommissioning if he plays his cards right.
Too bad for him that he's never been any good at cards.
||I just wanted to write pathetic Match. If you don't know who Match is, that is fine. He's a clone of Kon and that's really all you need to know. And also for a note on canon, why would a copy of a copy be closer to the original than the primary copy? That makes no sense. match should be less powerful than Conner on paper and I'll die on that hill. This will have infrequent updates.||

Summary
By choosing not to call the police ten minutes ago, and the hospital twelve minutes ago, and Bruce fifteen minutes ago, the decision has been made. There is no backing out, now.
His sweatshirt is still covered in blood, and soaked from the rain, but he ignores this. It’s fine. He’s fine. He’s the same calm, level-headed Tim he’s always been. So he plans.
Tim is a murderer. He murdered someone. It's an unchangeable, unshakeable fact...but no-one else knows about it. No-one knows what Tim has done. And if he’s smart, and careful, no-one ever will.
All he has to do is learn to live with it.
