Monday afternoon, Wayne children meeting

The boys had decided it was time to tell Cassandra what was happening, they met after Tim's classes ended at GU at Jason's safe house. Cassandra kept her normal emotionless expression, she appreciated her 'brothers' looping her in and she was glad they trusted her with their suspicions towards Bruce. The most important part was that Cassandra understood why the boys were digging deeper, she wasn't part of the Joker's dinner table, but she knew what secrets did to families. The DNA extraction was taking time, usually on the bat computer it would take less than 2 hours to have a sample and results. Their last meeting was five days ago, they had to share what they found so far in order to see what else was missing. 

"Okay so first of all, Bruce legit had nothing to do with her getting the job at Gotham Academy, I looked into it. We can't know if she's related to him until we get the DNA results, and it's going to take a while. Second, you said that she supposedly met Batman in a swamp, well the plane crash was not far from a swamp so this could be how they met he found her after the crash or something, but I still have nothing for sure" that was Tim. Dick nodded and started talking. 

"The orphanage was a dead end, it took a lot of convincing for the staff to show me their records, can you believe that nothing is digital there? I had to look through stacks of dusty papers" seeing them all rolling their eyes he continued, "the only thing I found was that she was two months old when she was brought to the nuns, so no birth certificate, and she was adopted a few days before her 6th birthday. Anything on her adoptive parents?" he asked Tim. 

"Actually I did find something interesting, her mother's godfather is Carmine Falcone." this was shocking to everyone except Jason who simply said.

"So Zsasz killing the guy who nearly raped her makes so much sense now,"  they all look at him waiting for him to elaborate, he does. "Remember I saved her and didn't kill the guy?" they nodded, "he was arrested, but his bail was anonymously posted a few days later and GCPD found him dead and mutilated at the Adington villa, you know her aunt Clarice Adington's villa?"

"How can you be sure it was Zsasz?" asked him Damian.

"I'm the Red Hood kid, in the underworld, no one lies to the Red Hood, and besides the creep had a V carved on his forehead, classic Zsasz." 

"Okay, but why dump him at her aunt's villa? Did we look into her aunt?" Dick was now looking at Tim who had started typing. 

"I have no fucking idea, and the only person who can tell us is dead. You know Victor Zsasz disappears real fast and is highly protected." Jason inhales, "And I really don't want to start a war with Falcone unless I have to." 

Jason and Damian were bickering about whether or not Jason could actually start a gang war, Dick was trying to shut them up and get back on track, Tim was trying to pull as many files as possible on her aunt. Cassandra was looking through the papers, reading and observing the pictures. One picture caught her attention, it was from the plane crash, she looked closely and saw a partial logo that they all knew too well. The boys stopped talking when they saw her stand up with a picture in her hand pointing a the logo on the side of the plane and said.

"Wayne."

"WHAT" they were all looking at the picture in her hand, it was a private jet from Wayne enterprises. Tim automatically went to the company records to find the missing plane. 

"Well, her parents were friends with Bruce so maybe he lent them the plane?" Jason suggested.

"They were friends with him? Where did you find that?" that was Tim.
