thinking about the part in batgirl 2000 where babs and bruce are arguing about whether or not the video of cass's first murder is real or not. the fact that bruce went directly to the source of the video (cain) and didn't ask if it was faked but rather how. the fact that cain told him to his face that it was real and bruce still refused to believe it. the fact that babs believes it's real and still loves cass and tells her that it was not her fault. the fact that bruce cannot accept that cass is a killer, because he refuses to believe that someone who has taken a life could ever be as dedicated to the mission as cass is. the fact that cass's dedication stems directly from her desire to never see anyone experience what the man she killed experienced in his last moments.

bruce wayne cassandra cain cassandra wayne babara gordon Babs loves and supports Cass because of how she has grown and how she is trying her best. Babs messes up sometimes but she generally accepts Cass as who she is and tries to give her something outside of the mission because she wants Cass to be more than a symbol or a suit I have a lot of thoughts on Bruce and his connection and dynamic with Cass and all the ways he failed despite seeming to care for her The denial of one of the greatest fundimental facts about Cass and how she became who she was He never questioned why she believed so much in the symbol why she fought every fight like it was the last he just accepted it and when shown where that dedication would come from the trauma that is a cornerstone to her very being he denies it just some thoughts i need to reread this part again because i had thoughts the first time and im sure ill have more the second time
