Summary
“Don’t you dare tell me I don't know my own son’s face.” Familiar rage seethes at the base of his lungs. “Don’t you dare. Don’t you ever. I knew it against all reason. I knew it when it was impossible for it to be in front of me. I knew it faked and warped and desecrated and delusional and spitting mad. I knew it when it killed me to know it, to believe it to be true—”
“Describe it,” Dick challenges.
“I knew his face three years dead beneath a domino. I knew it as he carved a chunk of flesh from his own scalp and cursed my name…” His fingertips drift to a spot two inches behind his ear. Is that uneven texture the sign of a years-old scar, or just a tangle of hair?
(Or: Jason and Bruce get bodyswapped. It takes two full days for anyone to point it out to them.)

Summary
“Did Talia send you?” Jason spits angrily as he tries to sweep her off her feet. “Are you from the League?”
“Am not,” Cassandra replies and holds back a huff as he attacks again, this time with something she thinks is a flame dagger. Some of his moves are foreign to her, but she knows Batman’s training when she sees it. Jason seems to incorporate both elements well, so much so that he almost manages to catch her side with his sharp blade. This fight’s been going on long enough.
Grabbing Jason’s wrist just right and putting a necessary amount of pressure on it, Cassandra says, “You’re good. I’m better.”
And that’s how she ends up pinning her brother down behind a dumpster. So much for making a good first impression.
...
In which Shiva shares one of her many, many secrets; this one is going to turn Cassandra's world upside down.

Summary
“That was quite the show,” a voice says behind him, not impressed, not chastising: the evaluation of a fact. Jason jumps and scrambles to turn around.
“Shit, don’t do that to me.” He clutches a hand to his chest. At the mouth of the alley: an angular shadow, a long black cloak. The Batman. “C’mon man, you following me?”
Jason has been running into the Bat for as long as he’s been starting fights.
Jason has been running into the Bat his whole life.
