	Uh oh Sentry's angry. Kidding aside I loved the possibility of the Jean Paul/Cassandra pairing. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Where does it say that she is 20? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Actually she's 17 at this point. Early on in her Batgirl series, Babs says she's 17, so she would have been that same age during the NML story. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

hm...that can't be right. NML happened quite some time before War Games/Drums, no? LIke a year or two? And at the start of War Games, it was hinted she was 18 at the least...(same age as Jason Todd who would've been starting college had he lived with Bruce). My understanding is that Cass had to be 15-16 when she first became Batgirl (during NML)...She's like...one or two years older than Tim, no? He was 14-15 during NML? (or when was it that they celebrated his 16th birthday?) guh...comic ages hurt my brain.

	Like I've said before in another thread. They're the most awkward couple socially of the Bat Clan. Odds are they wouldn't even kiss for the first few hundred dates. Jean Paul is pretty much a little kid socially especially when it comes to women. Cass is well...Cass... Add that both were trained/created to be weapons and well...

	Well I realize that you mean them as in they are the most socially inept/siblings/ friends sort of thing but it looked like you were trying to make them out as couples in your last post. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Well, they've been apart for several years now and Cass is an adult who can talk and read. Basically, she's a different person from the silent uneducated teenager that JP met back in the day. That's not saying that they'd jump into being a couple right away.

I guess it's like rediscovering old friends/acquaintances. After the catching up period ends, you start seeing them in a different light because well...they're different people now. People that you never would've thought to date back in high school (or middle school for some)...now years later, are very different individuals. So it's like meeting them for the first time and finding them more interesting.

I can see the age gap bothering JP more than it would Cass, actually. lol, eh, give'em time. Ten years from this, the age gap won't be such a big deal.
