Does anyone else think that the rest of the batfam flip out whenever Jason uses a duffle bag anymore given what happened the last time he had used one?
Jason: *duffle bag slung over his shoulder when he comes to raid the Manor kitchen and have his weekly tea with Alfred* Sup
Dick: *voice two octaves higher* Hey Little Wing, watcha got there?
Jason: *rummaging through the fridge* A duffle bag?
Dick: And what would be--
Tim: *has not slept in three days and is on his 11th cup of coffee-red bull disaster concoction in the last 12 hours and sees the bag* Oh my god Jason did you chop off people's heads again? Why would you bring it to the Manor? Quick, if you get out of here before B comes back you can--
Dick: *voice even higher* Are you trying to help him with this??
Damian: Todd, the canvas is a terrible idea for dismembered body parts--it stains and is easily incriminating.
Dick: *voice only audible to Titus at this point* That's your problem with it???
Damian: Did you say something?
Tim: *adding a shot of espresso directly into the Redbull can* He said: 'That's your problem with it???'
Jason: *eating lasagna leftovers* How did you even hear that?
Steph: *leaning in through the kitchen window* Boy Wonder over here has ultrasonic hearing aids cause he likes to be prepared for anything
Cass: *materialising from the doorway and grabs the duffle from the counter before disappearing back into the Manor*
Dick: *gasping* Et tu, Cassandra? Also Steph how are you even here right now?
Steph: *shrugging* Wanted to raid your kitchen for a bit
Alfred: Ah Master Jason I see you got Miss Cassandra those books you mentioned
Dick: *strangled* Books?
Jason: *flatly* No it's eight decapitated heads remember

I feel like Jason and Cass should have beef tbh. Like Cass is the one person more dedicated to the ‘no killing’ rule than Bruce, and hers is born of experience as opposed to sheltering like his also. Jason, meanwhile, stayed with the League of Assassins SO he could learn to kill - whether or not he eventually makes the choice to stop differs between continuities, but still, I doubt he’d ever abide by the ‘no killing’ rule so closely.
And like!! How!! Do they not!! Fight!! Cass sees the Batman symbol AS a symbol of ‘no killing’ and redemption - she’s loyal to what it represents to her. How is she NOT pissed that Jason can still ‘get’ to wear it even after everyone he’s killed? Even when he’s not with the Bats, he’s still a crime lord who got there by decapitating eight people and stuffing their heads in a duffle bag and has killed a whole lot more. For Cassandra, who from the age of eight was utterly devastated when she was forced to kill despite being raised as a living weapon, how does she not take issue with that?
Like, they’ve had very similar experiences in life - abusive fathers, absent/dead mothers, homeless and starved, died and brought back. They’ve both killed even though like I said, the way they reacted to it is literally opposite. Both have associations with the League of Assassins, also. Like?? They’ve had such similar upbringings - not the same no shit, but still - and yet the conclusions they drew are so opposite and the conflict that could come of that is so interesting!
Cassandra killed and swore to never do it again, and believes it’s a sin of sorts to kill. Jason voluntarily was trained to kill because he believes there are people you can’t leave alive. People who write them working together seamlessly are so boring, because the second they had to work together in a serious situation they’d clash. They’re both stubborn and independent even without morality getting in the way, and when you add it all together it’s a fantastic recipe for both a moral and personal conflict.
Basically what I’m saying is give me a Cass Jason angst fic.
