i loooove cass being a big brother to pharah and genji so much im just imagining both of them getting hurt and they see an animalistic rage in cass's eyes as he protects them

Here's the thing, Cassidy has a lot of faith in both Pharah and Genji's ability to protect themselves. So if they're in a situation where Cassidy actually needs to step in and protect them... well then I feel bad for the person who hurt them because they are beyond dead.

Also while typing this I remembered how bad Genji got hurt while fighting Doomfist in Doomfists origin cinematic and now I can't stop think about how Cassidy would have reacted to that.

Anyway I would like to talk about one of my favorite head canons. Cassidy was Reyes second in command, meaning that even if he wasn't officially in the rank of Captain, he would have still had that rank. I don't think Cassidy would pull rank often, except when people were bad mouthing Genji.

We see in Storm Rising that when Genji is talking about Blackwatch, he doesn't talk about it fondly (the only character from Blackwatch he is still in contact with is Cassidy). Combining that with how Mercy responds to when Genji is asked about Blackwatch, "He likes us better", the fact that in Retribution Reyes only really refers to Genji as "the ninja", and it being implied that a lot of Blackwatch agents ended up joining Talon. It signifies to me that there is a high likely hood that Genji wasn't treated the best. Which I have talked about before.

I honestly think that Cassidy would pull rank when people were bad mouthing Genji, it wouldn't be often (because protective Cassidy is already scary without his rank), and I think he would do it as less of protecting Genji and more, he knows that Genji won't react well so he's dealing with the situation before things get out of hand.

On a different note, both Pharah and Genji have gotten teary eyed at least once, because Cassidy said he was proud of them. I refuse to be told otherwise.
