Safe. She wants to feel safe so much it hurts. "I could- I could move into the building, maybe," Steph says slowly as she really thinks this over. Her apartment feels so empty no matter how much she's tried to make it feel like home. Maybe being closer would be better. Knowing she's not all on her own.
She's so used to shoving it all down, just going around pretending everything is fine, but now it's all spilling out of her. Cass holds her close and lets her cry, and it helps. Simple touch that's meant to heal, not hurt.
"But I don't" Her voice is bitter. "I don't have what it takes. That's what Batman thinks."
