Chapter Twenty-Five: Mission in Paris (P1)
Cassandra's POV
I woke up in Jason's bed and looked around stretching. I get up and find Jason sleeping on the couch. I stared at his face.
Jason's POV
I feel a light kiss planted on my cheek and opened one eye as I see Cass looking down at me.
"You could have just stayed in bed with me. You didn't have to sleep on the couch." Cass says. I smile and grab her chin.
"Yes but I was worried that I would scare you." I reply letting go of her chin.
Cassandra's POV
"So, why am I here in your apartment?" I ask coming over to the over side of the couch. I scream as he grabs my wrist and sits me on his lap.
"Well, Bruce wanted me to bring you here because it's been nosier than usual. Apparently. Now, how about a kiss?" He asks me smirking.
"Ja-Jason." I say blushing a bit.
"Shh... Why must you ruin the moment?" He kisses me and I rest my arms on his shoulders.

We all stopped texting and I left for Wayne Manor. I can't believe it! We were going to Paris, France!!!
~Batcave~
Bruce's POV
"So what's the mission?" Tim asks and I turn around in my chair and explain it. We had to make sure reporter, Cat Grant didn't get hurt at her special report at a masquerade ball near the Eiffel Tower.
"Ok. So we will be attending the masquerade ball, get some dresses and suits." I order. They all nod and head upstairs.
Stephanie's POV
The girls and me decided to pick out our outfits together.
"Ok so I have two options. This or this?"
They pointed to the first dress. I nod smiling at the simple dress and Cass goes up and shows us her two options.
(IRL can we just talk about how cute this dress looks!!😍)
(Same for this one! They're absolutely adorabes!!!😍)
"Do the first one!" I say.
"No. The second." Babs says.
Cassandra's POV
I look at two dresses trying to decide. Hmm...
"Maybe you should ask Jason?" Steph suggested.
"Really? Does anywhere know where he is?" I ask. Steph gets up and goes into the hall.
"JASON!!!!!!!" She shouts.
Jason's POV
I come out of my room.
"What?" I ask staring at Steph in the hall.
"We need your opinion." She says and I follow her into her room. I turn at the sound of Bette's gum popping as she's sitting on Steph's bed reading a magazine.
"Anyway. Can look you look at these and tell us what you think?" Steph asks me looking at Cass holding up two dresses. I bit my lip looking at the dresses.
(Just in case you forgot😉)
"I think the first one." Steph says.
"But I think the second one." Babs adds. I look at them then at Cass.
"Which one do you like?" I ask Cass.
Cassandra's POV
I blink in surprise at my boyfriend. Huh! Boyfriend. That's more satisfying than I realized! I look at the dresses and glance at Steph and Babs.
"The short one." I say.
"WHAT?!" Steph exclaimed getting up from her spot on her bed.
"I think the other one was two extravagant." I explain looking at Steph.
"Oh. Ok. I accept your decision." She say hugging me.
"I can leave right?" I nod to Jason and he leaves.
"Bette do you have a dress?" Babs asks. Bette nods.
"You'll see it in Paris." We nod and go our separate ways to pack.
~Front Hall, Wayne Manor~
Tim's POV
I went down to the front hall and put my duffel bag on the floor to put my final item in. My laptop.
"Why are you bringing that?" Helena says and I look up.
"Just in case." Everyone else came downstairs.
"Alright. I have the tickets for the ball," Bruce says handing us all tickets, "do not lose them!" He scolds. We all nod and go to the car.
~Gotham City Airline~
Cassandra's POV
We sat down at the airport waiting for our airline to be called when I look at the invite to the masquerade ball. The time was at 6:00 pm.
Jason's POV
I come over and kiss Cass's cheek.
"Hey." She smiling at me.
"What are you doing?" I ask. She shows me the invite and I sit down next to her and rest my arm on her shoulders.
Bruce's POV
I was looking at Tim trying to get Cat Grant's location.
"Nonstop Gotham City to Paris, France Flight 1080 now boarding!" A women over the PA said. I glances at Tim and we all left to go on the plane.
~Gotham Flights (the plane)~
Helena's POV
I've never actually been on a plane before. It wasn't that exciting though. I sat next to Damian. Tim with Steph. Jason with Cass. Dick with Babs and dad, by himself.
~Safe house 5:00 pm~
Bruce's POV
I look at my watch.
"Girls are you ready?" I shout. The girls come out.
"Sorry we had to find our masks." The girls say. I nod and I first go down and then the girls come out. I glance at the boys looking them up and down. Well, except Damian of course. We all leave to go to the masquerade ball.
The masks and the dresses:
Helena:
Stephanie:
Cassandra:
Barbara:
Kate:
Bette:
The boy's masks:
Red: Jason, Black: Damian, Blue: Dick, Green: Tim. They are wearing black suits if anyone is wondering. Now, on to the masquerade ball! Oh also Aaron_Drake did a chapter in his book Black Siren similar to this chapter. Except that was set in England. So thank you for the inspiration.
~The Masquerade Ball 6:00 pm~
Cassandra's POV
6 pm. The ball as just started and we all go to separate areas and corners of the room. I went by the drinks table to get some champagne and look at the Eiffel Tower. It was gorgeous! Anyway as I was sitting there when a man came up to me.
"Hello, mademoiselle. I just wanted to say that you look radiant." He says. I turn to say the man on my right.
"Um well, why thank you." I say turning away.
"Would you like to dance?" The man asks me. He wasn't that old, 28 I would think, but I drank a bit of my champagne trying to calm my nerves.
"No, but thank you Monsieur." I say not turning around. I begin to walk away when the man grabs my arm.
"Please, mademoiselle!" He says holding my arm tighter.
"No Monsieur!!!" I shout my eyes wide until my savior appears.
"Excuse me Monsieur?" A voice says from behind the man. The man turns around and let's go of my arm to face Jason.
"Yes?" He asks.
"Can't you tell? The mademoiselle doesn't want to be disturbed." Jason says looking down at the man. Compared to the man, Jason was much taller. The man came up to Jason's chin.
"I can tell when a mademoiselle is uncomfortable." The man replies. Jason looks into my eyes.
"You should check again." He says and the man backs away scoffing.
Jason's POV
"Street rat." The man mutters and I ignore it.
"You ok? You just seem more timid than usual." I ask to Cass.
"Well I haven't been fighting in a while." She explains.
"You know, you could sleep in my bed with me. If you want." I whisper in her ear. She gives me a warm smile.
"Thank you, Jaybird. That's sweet if a bit scandalous, but I think I'll be fine." She says kissing my cheek.
"Well, if you want just text me ok?" I say to her and she nods walking away to talk to Steph. I looked at the invite. This ball goes on for three days! Tomorrow Cat Grant was doing the report for masquerade ball. We can only hope that everything goes well.
~Safe house 11pm Cassandra's room~
Cassandra's POV
I am sitting in my room just staring at my ceiling when I my phone dings.
Jaybird💋
Hey are awake?
Cass:
Yeah. Can't sleep?
Jaybird:
No. You?
Cass:
No. Mind if I come over?
Jaybird:
No. I don't mind, babe.
I close my phone and go over to Jason's room.
Jason's POV
I hear a click of my door and Cass's shadow appears. She walks and slowly gets into my bed.
"You ok?" I ask her. She nods.
"I just need to settle. It's nice of you to do this." She says getting closer to me. I kiss her head and we snuggle going to sleep.
~Helena's room 5am~
Helena's POV
CLANK!!! I shoot up from my bed at the sound of a noise coming from downstairs. I look around for any weapon and find a pencil. I wake slowly downstairs and look at a figure near the couch. I kick him or her in the jaw.
"Who are you?!" I shout. The figure looks up at me. I couldn't believe it. It was...
Who is in the house and what do they want?
Tell me who you think it is!
Bye!
