So....suppose Wonder Girl is pregnant?

[Superlad93]

So, I was re reading Young Justice (2019) again last night, and I came across some odd moments regarding Wonder Girl that I remember just brushing past as nothing. But on the re reading I came up with the theory that Cassi might be pregnant. Let me explain.

Issue 1 she bumps into Tim in Metropolis. Apparently she's working, starting school in the fall, and not feeling like she's doing what she's "supposed to be doing." She apparently moved to Metropolis because people say living under Superman's watch can be relaxing and cut down on stress.

Trouble hits, Tim suits up, but Cassi tell him that she can't go with him. Then later when Tim's in trouble Cassi is in tears as she gets ready for action. And during the fight Tim cuts his sentence short and goes "hey, are you okay" and Cassi seems to frantically be wondering where Superman is.

Then in issue 2 Zeus shows up with a gift and talk of Cassi being "ready" and wanting to strike up a relationship. Cassi questions the whole thing and why she's ready NOW. Zeus never gives a straight answer.

I'm thinking Zeus was there with some charm or whatever to lay claim to the child or something. I'm also thinking that she moved to Metropolis so she and her child could be watched over by Superman, and she'd stay less stressed for the health of the pregnancy. I also think the baby is why she's working a normal job and going back to school. And because of the baby and the fact that in the YJ book very few people seem to have even heard of her, she was thinking of quitting being a hero.

In regards to the book as a whole, Bendis did say that Young Justice was gonna be a place where these teens would sometimes deal with adult issues that they're not totally ready for.

Thoughts? Odd of being true?

Honestly, it seems like as likely as Conner's new family actually being his (which they really weren't in the end).

I feel like Cassie's had enough to deal with then to have to worry about a pregnancy storyline.

Wow, this is an interesting theory. I don’t know if anything would prompt a pregnancy, but if there was someone who was willing to go this route it would be Bendis.

Agreed. He had Jessica Jones deal with the ramifications of pregnancy, and he essentially created a whole book out of her making arguments and choices regarding it (The Pulse). One of the main arrangements (and reason for her being in the position she was in) was how she was gonna earn money to support the child. Similar to Cassi's new focus on the financial in issue 1.

It would also work with the found family unit vibe Bendis seems to really be going for with YJ. And word is Wonder Woman will be showing up at some point, so we'll likely get her input and if Cassi told her or not.

I feel like he would be able to get more mileage out of something like that with Jessica Jones, his own character, then he would with Cassie and in a Young Justice book.

I dunno. Depends on how he goes about it. No one at DC really seemed to have a direction for her before YJ.
