Um. I'm awake, now.

[Have a wave and half a smile, Barge.]

Didn't mean... to worry anyone. Sorry. I'm okay, though. I know... things have changed. Birthday passed. Was going to be... first one. Never knew it, growing up. Guess weapons... weren't allowed them. Merlin said, can have party. Don't know how, though. Could use tips.

Want to see everyone. Can meet somewhere, or you... come to Merlin's room. Staying here now, moved stuff already. It's... safer, this way. For my heart.

[That doesn't make a lot of sense out of context though, does it? She sighs and her smile fades, dissolves into a look that's somewhere between uncomfortable and just sad.]

There's a man here, David Cain. My father.

[She's truthful almost all of the time anyway, but this is when it becomes clear she's affected by this flood.]

Don't kill him. He's not... worth your time. Deserves a chance. Bad father, bad man, deserves to die, maybe should die, but... deserves his chance, too. Just leave him alone. Don't want people... getting hurt. Love you all too much.

That's... guess that's all.


Private to Bruce Wayne
Don't anymore, okay? Once is enough.

I love you.



Private to David Cain
Promise still stands. You kill anyone, I kill you.

... Hope this place... works, for you.

[Some people deserve to see her in person without waiting so she goes to them first, knocks and knocks and knocks on their doors until they open up, let her in. Once they do, they'll have an armful of Cass because there's no stopping her once she sees those faces again.]

Well, of course. I'm part monster, but I'm still a woman. Kai is undead and a Divine Assassin, but still the hero of the story. Stanley was a traitor, but in the end a good friend with a conscience.

And the Lexx was a giant planet destroying bug that only really cared about making his captain happy.

This is why I think all the inmates here aren't bad. If I knew such terrible and wonderful things, why can't the worst of them be terrible and wonderful, too? [Except Jefferson, she's still pretty pissed at him.]

[hellofist]

Me too. Part monster, broken, but still good.

[This is why she likes you so much, Zev. You just get this kind of thing.]

Everyone deserves second chance. That's why... I like it here. Everyone gets chances.

[love_slave]

To be honest, it took a very long time to think of myself as good. For a while I didn't even want to live.

[She's feels a lot better about living when she's away from the other horrible.]

Technically, I don't think I did.

[hellofist]

[This time, when Cass agrees, it's not at all as cheerful.]

Me too. Had... death wish, Batman called it.

[love_slave]

It's really hard when you're worried you won't be able to escape what other people want you to be. It seems like it's the only way out.

[hellofist]

[Cass needs a minute, after hearing that. Zev has just put to words exactly the reason she ran away from her father and it's kind of strange, having someone else say exactly what you feel.]

Now, though. Want to live?

[love_slave]

[She's quiet for a while.]

Sometimes I don't know.

Sometimes memories hurt, too.

[hellofist]

If they're... that bad, couldn't someone... take them away?

[It's not really something Cass likes the idea of at all, but suggesting it is better than keeping her mouth shut. It'd be better than losing Zev.]

[love_slave]

I don't suppose I would be the same person without them. And I have 20 years of them.

[hellofist]

I like... who you are, now. Better to leave them.

[love_slave]

Some of us are better with our scars, I think.

[hellofist]

Think you're perfect... just how you are, Zev.

[love_slave]

I think you are, too. You say what you mean, and you can understand people better than they can understand themselves. [She can see how that body reading thing can give someone amazing empathy.]
