Ninteenth Unused Utility Belt | Video, backdated to after the breach ends (cw: fire damage)

[The feed comes on to show Cass... well, she kind of looks like crap. But more than that, behind her her room, her real room on the Barge, seems to be confused about what it wants to be. In some places it's a replication of what Merlin's room looks like - there's his bed in one corner, a large wooden table with a red rose in a pot, for example.

Other parts are what the inside of a burned down building would look like. There's smoke damage, blackened walls, the remains of a dresser. The big computer is halfway melted and warped, the screen cracked and beyond repair. Looks like the Barge couldn't recreate what home is for Cass because she doesn't even know herself anymore.]

I'm back.

[There's not... that much to say after that, really. She's back, yay, no she doesn't want to talk about it.]

It was... about a week? I think. Learned... lots of things. About me, about... what I'm for. Why I... was made. It's funny, how you can... be so sure, who you are, but be... completely wrong.

Anyway. Back.


[Private to Merlin]
Are you... working? Or in room?


[Private to Dean, Chris, and Cassel, sent separately]
Have... to give you something. Can I come over?


[Private to Stephanie]
I understand, now. Why... I'm not Batgirl. Why you are. I didn't really, before. But... I'm glad you are.


[Private to Kon]
[After far too long passes with no answer to Steph, Kon gets a slightly panicked message from Cass.]

Where is Stephanie?


[Private to Dick Grayson and Tim Drake]
I know... that you won't see this. You can't. I just miss you. I shouldn't, but I wish... you were here.

[And it's bizarre to Morgana, that Cass would be so surprised. But the explanation makes her go still, makes her brows draw tight together. She still remembers what Lancelot was like, empty inside, malleable.

That's not what Cassandra is, now.]

What magic? [It's a little sharper than she really means it to be, but she wants to know. There aren't many people Morgana would bring back - but Mordred, Morgause, she would reach new depths for them.]

Not sure. It's not something... you're supposed to do. Bringing people back, with it. They come back... different.

[Maybe it isn't the pit that does it, maybe it's just a universal rule that people who come back always come back wrong.]

[She knows that; her body says that loud and clear, she knows that, and she desperately wants to hear another answer.]

You don't seem different.
