There's a look about Cassie most of the time. It's halfway between smug smirking cockiness and narrow-browed determination. A look that says "No biggie, I've got this." A look that makes people either trust and admire her or hate her fucking guts. Either way, she'll kick your ass or be your best friend before you know what hit you. And sometimes both.

That's not the look on her face right now. Right now, there's nothing but slack-jawed confusion. Maybe a little fear. Because it doesn't make sense. She of all people knows what General Sonya Blade looks like. And this isn't General Blade. Even if it does look just like...

"...Mom?"

Inhale, Cassie.
