He's like them but his face hardened. It looks slightly older than nineteen. Cautiously she pulls off her cowl. She watches his body change. He's surprised at how young she is. I want him to know what it feels like to be beaten with a crowbar and then blown up. I want to do something Bruce could never do. His smirk didn't meet his eyes. It hurt to look at him.
His body screamed anger, hatred, sadness, and—loneliness. He was lonely all by himself. He felt like the family had rejected him. He wanted to lash out at her but he couldn't. He couldn't yell at her or tell her to go to hell. He had wanted someone to tell him they were glad he was back. He had wanted that but of course Bruce would never say that. He had called in the entire bat family to help him stop Jason.
Oracle was trying to pinpoint the Hood's base of operations. Nightwing and Robin were pouring over various case files while Batgirl watched the footage of the Hood's latest killing. Cassandra cringed as she looked away from the tape. She could feel the conflict in the air. They were all putting on facades and their body language gave Cass insight.
Bruce was afraid for Jason. He wanted to stop him. He wanted to help him but he didn't know how he was going to accomplish this. Bruce had tried for years to separate his two identities and he done fairly well but he couldn't do that now. He had a responsibility towards Jason not only as a vigilante but as a former partner and parent.
He had to stop him. Nightwing was trying and failing not to think of the Hood as his brother. Jason had always made Dick laugh. As the Red Hood, he scared the hell out Dick. The Red Hood was dangerous. He knew how to kill and was an expert at psychological warfare. He's using death as a weapon. Robin was the most confused of the group. He had never met Jason. Jason had been dead by the time Tim became Robin. Still he wanted to know Jason. Jason was his brother but Jason had also beaten the shit out of him.
It had taken Tim a month to be at full capacity after the beating in Titans Tower. Jason could've killed him. It would've been so easy to snap Tim's windpipe. Tim wanted to know why he was still alive. He needed to know why Jason had spared him at the last moment. Cass began watching the tape again. It was a simple. The Red Hood just pulled out his two guns and did a flip. The shots hit their targets right in the head. It was execution style.
It doesn't take long for them to find the Red Hood. He's killed a drug dealer tonight. She can smell the acidity of the blood. She wants him to stop. She wants him to stop killing but she knows he won't just as she knows that the others won't hurt him. She can see the fire burning in him as he backflips and trapezes across the night sky. She can see how much he loves a challenge as he flips and taunts them.
She could tackle him in one steady moment and the game would end. She could drag him home. She could break a few of his bones and stop him. Stop him until he's healed. She doesn't want that though. She wants him to stop on his own. She wants him to come back on his own. It's strange because she's come to care about Jason. He's striving for the same thing she was when she lived with her father. She wanted to make Kain proud just as Jason wants to make Bruce proud.
She watches and waits in the shadows. She watches Tim and Jason fight. Tim's learned some more moves but he doesn't cut loose like Jason does.
Traitors' Bond. By: theunknownvoice. Disclaimer: I own nothing. It was a normal night in Gotham City for Cassandra Cain. She moved quick like. However, Bond soon learned that Vesper was the real traitor, and in the end, M stated to Bond that Mathis has been cleared following Vesper's death.
Jason doesn't hold back on Tim. Instead he leaves Tim unconscious and bleeding. She watches as Dick and Jason fight. She watches them strain. She can see in Jason's movements that he's trying to prove that he's the best. He fought hard against Dick and she was surprised to see Dick holding back. Dick leaves after a while hoping to escape one of them killing the other. She watches as Bruce and Jason fight. She watches the battle between father and son. Jason doesn't want to commit patricide even though he tells himself he does. He wants Bruce's approval and every punch he throws is a sign of that.
He's under the impression that Bruce doesn't care about him, that by letting his murderer go Bruce didn't care for him. Bruce stops the fight before he can finish it. He can't risk killing Jason. The rest of the bat family is gone. They don't know what to do with Jason. He's one of their own and now he's gone rouge. It's funny that Bruce could make files on the JLA members and contingency plans if they went rouge but he couldn't do that for his Robins.
Cass is sure there's a file on her but then again she's not Bruce's daughter like the Robins are his sons. She comes out of the shadows. She could take him out in a few moves but she doesn't want to. Jason's staring out over the roof. He looks so lost that Cass feels a stab of pain. She can't leave him like this. Slowly she approaches him. He's tired from fighting. She can see the exhaustion in the lines of his body. He tightens his muscles preparing to fight her but she only grabs his hand and leads him away from the rooftop making sure to attach both their tracers to stray cats.
She pulls him in the direction that she knows is his home. She's been tailing him for a week and she's already figured out where he's living. She worries about him being here alone in the falling apart rental while everyone else is comfort in the manor. The apartment that Bruce gave her was spacious and repaired. Jason's walls are coming apart at the seams. She knows that he chose this place because the others won't look here.
They won't think that he's hiding out in plain sight. He's too exhausted both emotionally and physically to notice what she's doing. She makes him lie down and brings a basin of water. She washes his hands and face gently before attempting to peel off his mask. He grabs her hand to stop her. He lets her go and she pulls gently.
She stares into the fiery blue eyes. They are not like the others' eyes. Bruce's eyes are calculating. Dick's eyes are calm. Tim's eyes are full of intelligence. Jason's eyes are mixed with pain and laughter. It hurts to look at them for too long. She cleans his face and then raids his fridge.
He needs to eat. His body is tired and he isn't quick enough to duck every punch they threw. She lets him shower while she rummages through everything. She can't cook very well. She likes helping Alfred in the kitchen but she's burned food so many times that it's become a running joke. She finds some oatmeal and scrambles over reading the directions.
It's quick and relatively painless and it comes out alright. She puts some brown sugar on it and pours some milk over it. He eats without saying anything. She examines him closely. He's bruising in several places and he's been cut in a few. She gets the disinfectant and begins cleaning him up. He's in just his boxers laying on the bed eating the oatmeal staring off into space. His silence doesn't bother her as it would someone else. His body is telling her that he's angry. He's angry that Bruce and the others didn't finish the fight.
He wanted to prove he was better than them. He isn't bothered by her. She can read that in his movements. She's just a surprise to him. He's wondering why she's doing this. He senses possible betrayal but realizes that she knew where he lived so she could've betrayed him before. He wonders if Bruce sent her to try to lure him back but discards that idea.
No, if they wanted to lure him back they would've sent Tim or Dick hoping that his brotherly connection to them would drag him back. What the hell is she doing here then? He flinches as she cleans his wounds with alcohol. It burns like hell but her fingers are nimble as she bandages the wounds and checks for broken bones. She says nothing as she turns off the lights and crawls into bed next to him.
She's unwilling to leave him alone. He spends enough time alone. At first he's somewhat shocked— what the hell is she doing —but he's too tired to care. He's eyes close involuntarily and he dreams while she sleeps next to him. She's curled into his side offering some form of comfort. He pulls out the knife from his coat which hanging over the bed's backboard. He waits for her to wake up. He doesn't know if she'll fight him or just leave him be but he wants answers.
Her eyes flutter open. She sees him with the blade and her eyes don't even widen. It's like she expected him to try something like this. Could've forced you home. Could've called in backup but didn't. Took care of you. Stayed with you because you needed. He doesn't say anything as he puts away the blade.
He'll give her the benefit of the doubt but that doesn't mean he trusts her. She gets up carefully and goes over to him. She checks his injuries again. He's doing better this morning. His bruises are starting to fade and his gashes are closing up. She grabs her cowl and her costume. She slept in her undershirt last night. She needs to get back to her apartment.
They already know that she didn't come home last night. She's sure that they do. She can tell that Jason's going to change apartments. If she found him then Bruce and the others will find him soon enough. She hears them before she sees them. They're all there waiting for her: Dick, Bruce, Tim, Barbara, and even Alfred.
It's Tim who runs over to her. He hasn't slept all night waiting for her to come back. At first he thought that something horrible had happened. Then Barbara told him about the com and the feed being shut off. He's angry and relieved at the same time. He can't afford to bury another person this year. He's already lost his Dad and Steph. He's not ready to add Cass to the list. She hugs him carefully and smoothes his back to calm down his fears.
She can feel the anger in the room as she moves away from Tim. She pulls off her cowl and turns to face the room.
Cass rolls her eyes. Unfortunately Bruce recognizes the look on her face. He remembers quite well a sixteen year old boy standing in front of him with the exact same expression. They all stare at her waiting for answers. When she comes back she doesn't say anything until Barbara speaks again. Didn't want others ordering me home. Cass glares at her before nodding. He would've stayed that way. Didn't want something to happen to him. We just want to help him. Cass looks him in the eyes. You should know he smart enough to leave.
He know you'll come looking for him. Thinks Tim take his spot. Thinks that Joker living means his dying not important. Thinks he's not loved, not wanted. Knows this hurts Bruce. Knows it makes Bruce angry. Thinks better to get an angry reaction than nothing. You want to turn in over to the police. You want to lock him up. He might be able to come back if we help him. He needs to understand what he is doing is wrong. Up to Jason to ask you to help. None of them can stop him as he continues cutting a bloody scathe through Gotham.
Then Crisis happens and everything falls apart. Cassandra's world caves in. She fights her mother. Batman, Robin, and Nightwing leave Gotham to travel the world. He left Gotham and she doesn't know where he went. Cass is alone, an outsider among her own family. She begs confronting Shiva again. Her mother is a strong fighter but Cass is better. She dies and Shiva resurrects her from the Lazarus pit.
Cass then proceeds to kill her mother. The tears fly as the battle ends and Cass knows further taint. After that she takes over the League of Assassins. She takes over and frames Tim for her murder. She pleads with him to join the league.
She cares about all of the Bat family but their abandonment cut through her. They left her alone in Gotham with Barbara. They took Tim, her best friend. They left her and she was forced to deal with her demons alone. Dick wasn't there to act big brother. Tim wasn't there to be the friend. Bruce couldn't offer her advice. And Jason too abandoned her. He left Gotham and she didn't even have him to puzzle over. Just as he had refused her comfort years ago, Tim had refused to travel down the dark road with her. After Steph died they could have became lovers.
They could've done so many things. She had thought out every possibility. She was willing to help Tim, to heal Tim, to love Tim, but Tim had refused that. And her heart still throbs from that pain. It's been almost five months since she'd last been in Gotham. She's going under cover right now. She doesn't want Bruce to know she's here. She wants to find Tim and bring him to her. She wanted him to stay with her. They had been friends and she can see that Tim is suffering. The losses have finally accumulated. The loss of Superboy was too grave for him to recover.
Maybe she should've offered him the Lazarus pit. Maybe then Tim would have joined her. She's no longer mute Cassandra Cain, Batman's newest teammate. Instead she is Cassandra Cain leader of the League of Assassins. A woman who knows how to kill and isn't afraid to do so if necessary. If she's completely honest with herself, she'll admit she wants to go home.
She wants to go back to her apartment. She's wants to go back to being Barbara's Batgirl. She wants to come back to the family. But she's learning that the saying, "you can never go home again," is true. She can not go back to being that Cassandra Cain. She's just walking along the sidewalk. She's alone for the first time. The others are in different locations.
They know better than to betray her. She could kill them in a few minutes. She is the ultimate warrior, born and bred to be the perfect assassin. She needed to come back to Gotham. Even if she doesn't see any of others, she needs to be near them. She should try to bring Tim into her group. Bring him there and make him her confidant because that's what she truly wants. She wants someone she can trust. She sees him leaping over the rooftops.
He's not the one she's been looking for but maybe it was better to talk to him. They are both outcasts. They both can help each other in more ways than one. He's planning something and she follows him. She wants know what he's doing, needs to know what he's doing. Even if the others aren't talking to him he'll know what's going on. He's smart that way. Maybe he can tell her about Tim. His body tenses and she knows he knows she's trailing him. He leads her to alley and watches her. She's changed in a year and so has he.
He's heard all the rumors. Talia told him what little Cassandra's been up to. She grips him tighter and he just holds her. He can feel her body shudder. She could be lying to him but her eyes tell him she's not. She's afraid and she needs someplace safe. Why the hell did she choose to come to him? She doesn't go back to the League.
She chooses to leave knowing that they'll come after her. She wants to go back to the Bat Family and she knows that Jason does too. But they're both afraid. Jason takes her to his new base. He doesn't completely trust her. Both of them have killed and have the sin of murder added to their long lists.
She stays with Jason. She stays with him because he understands what that you can't go back after you've taken a life. She takes care of his wounds and organizes his mess. She feeds him and talks to him. He holds her when she needs holding. He tells about when he was Robin. She listens always interested not caring whether he's embellished or not. She takes out the old Batgirl costume and she goes out. Sometimes she follows Jason to make sure he's alright. Other nights she goes solo. Still other nights she trails Tim or Bruce hoping to help them if they need her.
Every night she comes home. Tim's seen her and he's asked to her to come back. She knows they won't understand what's happened to her. For better or worse she'll stay with Jason because he's come to mean safety and home to her. It becomes their ritual to take care of each other.
He washes her face, and checks for injuries. She does the same for him. They both curl up with each other in the bed they share. Sleep is a welcome relief. Her feelings for him change. At first she treated him they way she would all the others. She soothed his nightmares, she took care of him, and she became his friend. After a while she doesn't feel that way anymore. Her heart bangs when he enters the room. His nightmares become her own. When he smiles or laughs or gives her that smirk, she becomes ridiculously happy.
She cuddles further into him while they sleep. She worries about him constantly while their patrolling. She's afraid for him. He notices that she isn't sleeping as much as she used to. At first he thinks that something happened on a patrol. They move a lot in hopes of keeping the League and Bruce confused. He's afraid they'll find them and take her away from him.
He knows now that he's a target for police. He knows that people are looking for him. He puts her at risk every time he goes out. He sees two options. He goes back to the Bruce or one of his so-called brothers and begs them to help him. They might not take him back but he knows they'll take Cass back. He leaves her behind and goes someplace else. At least then she won't have to worry about his enemies as well as her own.
He doesn't want to follow through with either of these choices. His pride won't let him go back to Bruce. He can't do that. For the films, her flirtatious relationship with Bond is transferred to and replaced by Miss Moneypenny. Ponsonby nearly made an appearance in GoldenEye , but she was removed from the final draft. The name of the character may be based on the Duchess of Westminster of the same name. Played by Colin Salmon , Robinson appears to be M's right-hand man and is often seen at her side.
When Bond reports in with MI6, he often does so to Robinson. One of Q's assistants, Smithers makes two film appearances: He is played by Jeremy Bulloch. Agents with the 00 prefix have proven themselves capable enough in the field to be entrusted with the licence to kill: The following 00 agents have been referenced onscreen in the James Bond films. Additional 00 agents, ranging from to , have been referenced in literature and in comic strips. In the latter, one of the agents is revealed to be female. A revised version of the character of Felix Leiter appears in the television adaptation of Casino Royale.
With the KGB, Gogol often allies himself with Bond to stave off the possibility of war with the West, an ideal that is not always shared with his comrades—such as when he argues against Soviet General Orlov's reckless proposal of military conquest in Octopussy. He is played by Geoffrey Keen. It is never revealed how they know each other well enough for Bond to be so informal. In the next few films, Bond calls Gray "Minister," since most of their scenes include other officials.
It is also suggested that he belongs to no particular political party; direct references are made to Margaret Thatcher in For Your Eyes Only , even though he had also held the post in The Spy Who Loved Me and Moonraker — which were both made during the government led by James Callaghan. Draco is the head of the Unione Corse , a major European crime syndicate.
He appears in the novels On Her Majesty's Secret Service , working as an ally of Bond; and Never Dream of Dying , where 's former father-in-law turns out to be linked to the villain of the Union. In Casino Royale , it is revealed that he originally met Bond on assignment in Monte Carlo prior to World War II, when Bond was trying to crack down on a group of Romanians cheating at a local casino with the use of invisible ink.
Mathis is reassigned to work with Bond at the time of the events in Casino Royale , where he poses as a radio salesman, assisting Bond and introducing him to Vesper Lynd. Bond later saves him from imprisonment. This may have been the first time the two met. Mathis first appears onscreen in the version of Casino Royale , played by Duncan Macrae. Here, he is a police officer, prompting Evelyn Tremble Peter Sellers to state that it has been worrying him that despite his supposed nationality, Mathis has a Scots accent: Mathis is suspected of being a traitor and informant to Le Chiffre and arrested.
Upon the discovery that Vesper was the real traitor, Bond advises that MI6 should continue interrogating Mathis because his innocence has not yet been established. He joins Bond to bring down Dominic Greene, only to be killed by corrupt policemen working for Greene. Before dying, Mathis asks Bond to forgive Vesper and make peace with her death.
Bond later avenges him by the end of the film. She has yet to make an appearance in any of the Bond films. May is named after the housekeeper of Ivar Bryce, a friend of Fleming. Sheriff John Wayne Pepper is a parish sheriff in Louisiana. Played by Clifton James , he is mostly used as comic relief , especially and memorably for his somewhat bigoted attitudes and his tendency to speak loudly about whatever is on his mind. Quarrel is a Cayman Islander living in Jamaica.
Quarrel later appears in the novel Dr. No to help Bond infiltrate Dr. Julius No 's island, Crab Key. The only Bond film in which Quarrel appears is the film Dr. No , played by John Kitzmiller where, as in the novel, he is killed by Dr. Strangways is roughly 35 years old and wears a black patch over one eye. He later appears in the novel Dr. Julius No 's business. In the films, Strangways makes his first and only appearance in Dr. No where, as in the novel, he is killed for investigating Dr.
Contrary to the novel, however, Strangways does not wear an eye patch in film. Mary is portrayed by Dolores Keator and dubbed by Nikki van der Zyl ; [3] neither actor who were Jamaican residents were flown to London for the final dubbing of the film. He is the head of the Japanese secret service and resides within a secret underground office complex beneath the streets of Tokyo — his identity being the most closely guarded secret in Japan.
He supplies an army of ninjas to attack Ernst Stavro Blofeld.
