Issue Description

While rescuing a girl from an abductor that turns out to be her father (and indeed the one person the girl wants to be with), Batgirl realize that David Cain really is her father.

David Cain returns to Blackgate Penitentiary after giving Cassandra a gift. Upon opening it Cass discovers it's a small assassin knife. She takes it to Barbara Gordon and Batman, who both agree it's a nice knife but have no idea why Cain gave it to her. While with Barbara a call comes in about a kidnapping.

Jill is a little girl who is also a talented artist, and she has been abducted by David Sullivan. Her mother is her agent and cares more about the gallery opening then her daughter well being. Batgirl notes this and waits outside till David shows up.

When he does Batgirl follows him home where Jill is being kept. She confronts him but David and Jill make an escape via a hang glider and some insane stunts. Even with these Batgirl is able to catch them but when she tries to rescue Jill, Jill doesn't want to leave David's side.

That is when Batgirl realizes that David is Jill's father and that Cain is her father. David pleads to let him and Jill disappear but Batgirl can't do that and lets David get captured. Jill is returned to her unloving mother and Cass returns home to break the knife that her father gave to her.

Volume Description

Starring: Cassandra Cain as Batgirl. This series continued in Batgirl (2008).

Cassandra Cain became the first Batgirl to star in a regular series after her successful appearances alongside Batman in 1999's No Man's Land saga. The new series was plotted by Scott Peterson and Kelley Puckett, with the latter handling the script, and featured art by Damion Scott. Batgirl followed Cassandra's attempt to become a full fledged crime fighter as Batman and Oracle (the original Batgirl) watched over her and provided help when needed. The opening issue dealt with Cassandra's troubled past and her brave attempt to overcome her upbringing as a would-be assassin.
