First Unused Utility Belt | Video

[When the video feed comes on, it looks like everything is upside down. Only Cassandra's neck and chin are visible at first, showing a lopsided frown as she fumbles with the communicator, nearly drops it, and then finally turns it upside down. Now the view is her face right side up, and she grins into the camera before a paning shot shows she is hanging upside down from a tree in the CES.]

Crunches. Upside down. 500. Bored.

[She could have done this in the gym, yes, but there are less people here usually. Besides-]

Climbed the tree. Always wanted... to try. Bats are upside down. Funny, because [She puts her hand on her chest here.] Batgirl. Warden.

[And then she waves.] Hi.

[Dick would probably just keep hugging her, he realizes, but Tim isn't Dick. When she starts to pull back, so does he - but he settles his hands on her shoulders, just for a few extra minutes.]

There are other ways to communicate. [And then he smiles, and drops her shoulders so he can hold up one fist.]

[And just like that, with that one gesture, all of Cass' worries about not being good enough evaporate. There are people who understand her. It just takes time, sometimes. Her smile is bright and she wants to hug him again but she just reaches for his hand with both of hers to unwind his fist.]

Not how you do it.

[Once his hand is open, she slips hers into it and gives it a firm shake. Her way is still better, but this way has it's own merits, she supposes. She just grins up at him, full of mischief, and gives another shake.]

Like this. Didn't anyone... ever teach you?

[Okay, well done Cass, he is just going to outright laugh and shake her hand firmly. He misses the old days, a lot - when things weren't so grim, so serious. He likes laughing with people he cares about. It's a good thing to remember.]

Looks like everyone can use some brushing up.

It's okay. I'll teach you.

[His laugh is good, she can tell it's been awhile since he's had something to feel happy about. It doesn't bode well for her future, but so far not much has. She'll just have to make the most of the time she has on the barge.]
