Cass remains quiet, still and calming as Steph cries against her. She moves
her hands up to shoulders, feeling the knots and tension she has been
stubbornly carrying before she rubs her back slowly. Pressing her head
against Steph's shoulders, she lets out a soft huff of breath before taking
a step back then another before she is pulling Steph down onto the bed.
Letting Steph cry, she just simply held her as they sat on the bed together.
"It doesn't have to be about being Robin. It is about being you." Cass
answered. It was about giving her... the tools to defend herself. To make
her feel safe inside her own skin. "And Bruce doesn't... always know what
is best. If you want to be Robin, you can be Robin eventually but that
isn't what this is. It's training, just that."
