Date Night, DC comics, Cassandra Cain/Zoanne Wilkins

prompt: no hands

Fear floods her, endless torrents, as Zoanne crouches against the wall.

The muggers turn in a taunting circle around Cass, drawing nearer as they move, widdershins until their elbows touch.

Zoanne can't remember the last time she breathed; she's the worst coward.

"Hey, bitch --"

The guy's words are a trigger: Cass explodes, whirling, leg kicking out higher than her head, elbows crunching faces. No hands, all power. When she's finished, all six men writhe at her feet, begging for Mommy.

She beams at Zo, sweaty and radiant.

"Safe now," she calls. As Zo steps forward, she adds, softly, "sweetheart."

Yay, Zoanne fic!

I can see Cass so vividly here.

Zoanne rocks! *highfive*

And thank you. I get really intimidated trying to write Cass - she's such a *visual* character - so I'm relieved this worked okay.

That is *beautiful* Cass, right down to the endearment at the end and 'sweaty and radiant'. I can just *see* her glowing bright-eyed face. I wanna hug Zoanne, though, but I bet Cass has that covered for me!

Oh, wow, thank you so much. I love Cass to bits but get scared trying to write her. Your feedback is making me GLOW, though. Thank you!
