#my give jpv a baby agenda

[havendance]

DC should give me a Black Label book to write an alternate future where Jean-Paul Valley goes to medical school and settles down to have a boring life and has three kids with Cass as their godmother. And then the order of St Dumas kidnaps his youngest son to be their new Azrael and he has to put on the costume again and team up with Cass and also his oldest daughter who's been learning stuff from Cass on the side to save him.

Or alternatively, his three kids all dive head first into vigilantism (with Cass' help) and Jean-Paul has complicated feelings about it.

Bonus drabble for the JPV and Cass girlies. I’m on my give Jean-Paul a baby agenda.

—

“He’s small,” Cass says. She’s seen babies before, but it’s different, holding one. He’s pink, soft. Delicate.

“I know,” Jean-Paul says. He hasn’t looked away from her, from the baby. “I’m almost afraid I’ll break him.”

He’s still afraid, Cass sees. “You’re good,” she says. “You won’t.”

He laughs; it’s not real. “My father was Azrael. He made me into him. What if I can’t help doing the same?”

They are both weapons, forged by fathers. The baby is so small. How small was Cass, when Cain started with her? She can’t remember.

“No,” she decides. “I won’t let you.”
