Black Bat

Cassandra trying to learn how to read and write but she’s dyslexic and Barbara is trying to teach her but she’s also dyslexic. The blind leading the blind.

i think myh biggest issue with the orphan suit isnt even the entire.. everythingness of it. but the fact that cass doesnt have a cape. how is she supposed to lurk ominously? how is she supposed to wrap up? she cant blob. thats not cassie without her batblob.

God I hate the Orphan suit so much. No cape?! No ears?! No symbol?! Just some generic ass nondescript level 1 RPG looking combat armor.

Micheal! Micheal don't leave me here! Michael!!

he scoops her up and kisses her head “How are you, sweetheart?”

She puts up a thumbs up

“Good. Where’d you learn to say that word?” he says with a smile he sits on the couch and holds her in his lap

She thinks for a second to make sure she understands what he asked before finger spelling Damian's name. She's gotten pretty good at the alphabet.

He reads it carefully and smiles. “That’s great, I’m so glad you’re learning. And your ASL is getting so good.”

he lets her mess with the zipper as he leans over and grabs the remote to turn on his tv “Do you want to watch something with me?”

He turns on a lighthearted kids show for her to watch and doesn’t move his arm so she can hold on to him

he looks down at her and pauses the show “Yes?”

"hm." She bites him.

“Hey.” he lightly moves her head back and off of his arm “No biting.”

he scoops her up into his lap and turns off the tv “Okay. You want something, and I need to figure out what it is. Tell me sweetheart.” he’s doing his best to try and figure out what she needs, knowing she can’t communicate well. either that or she’s just biting him to bite

She pouts slightly. She wasn't sure what she wanted either. She was bored but also a little overstimulated but didn't know how to communicate that nor how to fix it.

he thinks for a moment. well he knows most of what he says she can’t understand so he just decides to do things based on her actions. Does she want to be left alone? No idea. He puts her down next to him and doesn’t touch her, scooting over so she has some room to herself to see if that’s what she wants.

He scoops her back up and thinks for a moment. What are things she likes to do? She likes to read, learn, uhh oh she likes to spar. Does she wants to do that? he stands up and sits down on the floor, putting her down on her feet. “Spar?”

She knows that word she nods a few times.

“Alright then.” he scoots back away from her and holds up his hands, palms facing her. “Come on then.”

She smiles and starts to punch his hands, her form was practically perfect
