[Of course she does. What he's done has hung over the whole family, time and time and time again, threatening to suffocate them.

But she didn't know Jason, before he died. She didn't know Barbara before -

That makes her a little more objective.

Her hands stop trembling.]

I need...to make this useful. [Her voice is ragged, still, but determined.]

You fought him once, Cass. [They haven't spoken much about it, not since that night. Just thinking about it has made her stomach twist with dread.] What did you see?

[ that was... a mistake, back then. not something she'd ever repeat now. stupid, selfish, a weird bit of pride-- ]

... What I saw was... it didn't make sense. Couldn't read him. Not like Deathstroke, or Ravager, he's... they were like there were... too many voices. Couldn't pick out the right one. But Joker... It was... gibberish. Even here, he's... I don't know.

[It was the sort of rookie move they all made, really; so desperate to prove themselves, regardless of the consequences.

She grimaces, a little, but there's no surprise in it.]

His mind works differently. The conversation we had last night - I didn't even think it was possible. ...But if there's more there, underneath -

[She hesitates. Swallows the bile that threatens to rise.

Cassandra isn't her.]

Do you think you could understand more, if you kept watching him?
