Becoming a Phantom Thief from the World of American Comics

Chapter 114 Cassandra Cain

"Barbara?"

Dean nodded knowingly. He didn't expect that Barbara, in addition to completing the work in the library during the day and serving as a Batgirl hero at night, would also have time to be a language teacher for the poor dumb girl.

At this time, the dumb girl turned the book again, pointed to "Cassandra" on it, looked at Dean, and then pointed to herself.

'Cassandra, is that your name? '

Dean asked strangely, gesturing. He saw Cassandra's face very close to Asian, and thought he would hear a familiar name, but he didn't expect her to be a serious American name.

'What's your last name? '

Suddenly, Cassandra's expression became complicated, regret, pain, resentment, shame, nostalgia, remembrance... It's hard to imagine a teenage girl with such a heavy facial expression.

Just when Dean wondered if he asked something superfluous, Cassandra's expression returned to normal and she continued to flip through the book.

‘Cain, this is my last name and Cassandra Cain is my full name. '

Dean thought for a while, then took out a pen from his body, and then took out a piece of paper, and wrote "Dean Suston" on it.

'this is my name. '

Dean followed Cassandra's example and pointed to himself, then to the words on the paper.

'Then are we friends? '

Cassandra signed to Dean expectantly.

’ Barbara said exchanging names was the first step in becoming friends. '

‘Not yet, but maybe in the future, making friends is not that simple. '

Dean shook his head slightly and responded.

‘You have to know someone before you can be friends with him. '

Cassandra nodded half-understanding.

Then the two began to talk using sign language or writing and drawing on paper.

However, since Cassandra has not studied systematically, her language foundation is very poor, and the number of words she knows is very rare. Even reading is a problem, let alone writing.

So she usually uses graffiti to express her thoughts, some ideas that are not easy to express with gestures, but it is difficult for ordinary people to understand that kind of graffiti.

Unfortunately, Dean is a magician.

As a magician, the ability to observe the heart and figure out the thoughts of others is essential, and it is no problem to understand graffiti.

That's right, magicians are such a versatile excuse, how should you deal with it?

The conversation between the two started with Barbara, after all, they both knew each other.

According to Cassandra... Gestures? Gestures plus graffiti?

who cares! In short, in Cassandra's description, because she can't speak, Barbara will take special care of her every time she comes to the library.

Sometimes Barbara turned down many of her daily tasks in order to answer her questions.

There are very few people in the library, and even fewer of them understand sign language, and some people even discriminate against the disabled by nature.

And among the staff in the library, only Barbara understands sign language, so basically she is the only one who can help Cassandra, and she is willing to help.

For this reason, Cassandra is very grateful to Barbara and also relies on her, because it is the first time she has met someone who treats her so well in so many years of wandering.

Cassandra is a street child who claims to have been to many places, but she obviously doesn't want to talk about the past, and Dean is not a curious baby, so he didn't ask too much about it.

Plus Cassandra is a bit...socially phobic? Every time she comes to the library, she will find a place with few people.

This is also the reason why she and Dean sat together. The requirements of the two people to choose a seat are highly consistent, and the seat in the library is not a single-seat model, but a large table with a circle of small chairs around it. mode.

When Cassandra sat across from Dean before, there was actually quite a distance between the two of them.

As the conversation deepened, Dean felt faintly in his heart that Cassandra was very optimistic in nature, and the manifestation of social fear was not because she couldn't speak and felt inferior, but simply because she had too little contact with others and didn't know how to communicate with them .

In fact, Dean felt that Cassandra didn't think that being unable to speak was a defect at all, it was just that it was inconvenient to communicate.

During this process, Dean also changed a few tricks for Cassandra to show, but what troubled him was that the girl looked at him with innocent eyes from the beginning to the end, showing no surprise at all. .

Dean even began to wonder if his craftsmanship had regressed...

"Having said that, I don't seem to have seen Barbara today."

'Talking' and 'chatting', Dean suddenly remembered something and looked around the library, and then looked at the sky outside.

"It's not dark yet, so it shouldn't be time for Batgirl to play, and it's not the time for the library to get off work, so today is not a day off."

Dean touched his chin, "Could it be that Barbara has been sitting in the office blowing on the air conditioner all day today? It doesn't feel like her style."

With Barbara's enthusiasm, Cassandra is here today, and she will definitely come over to teach her how to read when she has time.

At this time, a librarian came not far away, pushing a cart full of various books.

Dean held out his hand to stop him, and asked politely, "Sir, can I ask if Miss Barbara Gordon is here?"

The administrator was a little surprised when he heard Dean's question.

"You guys know Director Gordon?"

"Yes, we are friends with Barbara."

Dean nodded.

"I'm sorry, Director Gordon is on sick leave today. I heard that she fell from upstairs when she came home last night. She is currently hospitalized. If you want to find her, you have to go to Gotham General Hospital."

The librarian sighed, "I really hope she's okay, otherwise I won't be able to work every day."

There was a faint gleam in Dean's eyes.

The Gordons, like the Deans, were single-family houses, differing only in size, while the Gordons had only two floors.

Will Batgirl fall down two floors? And threw himself into the hospital?

He doesn't believe in such nonsense.

"I'm afraid he was injured in the battle."

Dean thought to himself.

'I want to visit Barbara in the hospital, can you come with me? '

Cassandra walked up to Dean suddenly, and gestured with her hands a few times worriedly.

'Isn't Barbara your friend? '

Before Dean could react, Cassandra suddenly made several gestures with an apologetic expression.

'Oh, sorry, if you have anything else to do...'

Seeing this, Dean smiled and shook his head.

'I'm going with you, and I'm also concerned that Barbara's injury is not serious. '

He remembered that the most frequented neighborhood of Batgirl was the Upper West Side, and recently the Upper West Side was most famous for the urban legend of "Bat Monster".

Now that Barbara is suddenly injured and hospitalized, is there a possible connection between the two?

Regarding Kashan’s age, Kashan first appeared in Borderlands at the age of 17. We all know that Borderlands happened when Tim was around 15 years old, and Tim was Robin at the age of 13. At that time, Jason had just died a few months ago, and Jason died after only being Robin for two years. After Dick became Nightwing, Jason took over from Robin within a few months. Dick was Robin. The longest, probably between 4 and 5 years. Although there is definitely a huge time bug in it, it is barely acceptable as a relatively acceptable age difference for the Bat family. The current time point of this article is the year when Dick flew solo as Nightwing. Half a year ago, according to the fact that Kashan was 17 years old in Borderlands, Kashan should be about 12 years old under normal circumstances, so I wrote Cashan about 2 years older, but I guarantee that this is not the case at all. affect any plot

Also, this book will absolutely never write about any DC movies, and absolutely never use any characters from DC movies. I know that there are many people who like to direct movies, but sorry, according to the timeline, The plot of Zhadao’s version of Zhenglian ended several years ago in this article
