What’s It Like To Listen?

For @casscainweek Day 3 (Jan. 22): Silence | Music

What’s it like to listen?

Cassandra did not live in a silent world when David was training. There were many sounds, fists against flesh, gunshots and blades being drawn and wielded.

It was a world she was used to. David never said he was proud, but Cassandra knew he was.

Now, she chooses not to think much about him. He had granted her these skills, but that was all he had given her beyond pain.

The world was louder now, she had to learn what voices were, what type of sound the voices were and what that meant. It was hard. Very hard. And it infuriated her. She wasn’t trained for this.

But, there was one sound she liked. Something that Barbara had given. She named them headphones. They faíce fed her ears and played a soothing tune of gentle… piano, yes.

It was easy to understand. The music was simple, she could close her eyes and focus on it. Barbara wasn’t always understanding, not knowing Cass was trying, and she wasn’t like her.

But this music was nice.

It was nice to have sounds she understood.

I hope this is good. I love Cass so much.

Cass’ backstory is so wild cause istg you could make up the most insane shit and I’d be like “David Cain when I catch you”

like ‘David gave Cass every poison on earth so she would build up immunity to them all’? I’d buy that being cannon.

‘David made Cass box a kangaroo’? Did she win?

Honestly I’d believe someone if they told me David made Cass hunt for dinner like in the Stone Age or smth

Anyway I just know cass lore dropped randomly would go hard

I get second hand embarrassment BAD.

Like whenever two character’s relationship is grossly misunderstood I have to resist the urge to start throwing stuff.

I had to spend 5 minutes outside to calm down once because I was on the verge of screaming and waking up my family.

Silly little thing

Silly Little Thing
2 months ago

Billy is kidnapped often. Nothing serious. The villain just wants to tell his monologue of hatred towards a certain hero. All the villains have noticed how the heroes listen to or discuss Billy Batson, the host of a small radio station. That's why the boy is kidnapped. At least once a week. The villains vividly describe their hatred, some even say a spoiler for future crimes. Billy then tells it vividly the next day and jokingly asks the villains to at least feed him, because of their kidnappings he cannot eat normally.

The villains listen to him!

Lex Luthor brought him a whole steak! The Riddler bought him fries, a burger, and a large Coke!

So Billy, being a good person who loves his job, thanks them for the lunch and repeats their monologue word for word, even overacting a little. (But the villains are delighted by this)

Meanwhile, the League is panicking because they are the reason Captain Marvel's son is constantly being kidnapped! Marvel always looks at them with a disappointed look the next day if Billy is kidnapped. But there is nothing they can do! But they tried! Honestly! Captain stop looking at them like that! They didn't know that talking about Billy would turn out like this!

Flash and Superman feel very guilty. After all, it is their villains who often kidnap the boy. Batman tries not to look disappointed at his villains when he finds out that one of them kidnapped Billy, again.

Billy, meanwhile, made a list of villains who treated him very well. In first place was Captain Cold, in second place was the Riddler and Lex Luthor, and in third place was Scarecrow, to the surprise of Batman and Billy himself.

Yes, Billy showed this list to the superheroes so that they would know who was treating him how. As a result, Flash spilled the beans to Snart, and as everyone knows, villains are the best gossips. The news about this list spread like wildfire.

Now the goal among the villains was to get at least into the top five of this list.

Let's just say that Billy started getting kidnapped much more often.
