When the time came, Batman assessed her ready to join the rest of the family in the field and personally vouched for Cassandra to join The Team. Remaining with the Bat Family, Batman trained Cassandra to join his team, with Cassandra adopting "Orphan" as her codename possibly as a means to denounce Lady Shiva as her mother. Barbara explained to Cassandra that she did not jump in front of her to save Joker's life, but rather to save Cassandra from becoming a murderer. Shocked and horrified over what she had done, Cassandra remained by Barbara's side as the Bat Family took her sword away and captured the Joker. Observing from the shadows as Batman and his protégés defused the Joker's gas bombs, when the Bat Family made their move and the Joker attempted to escape, she saw her chance to strike the villain, however, Batgirl (Barbara Gordon) saw her arrival and pushed the Joker out of the way and got cut down by Cassandra's attack instead resulting in her spine being severed and becoming immobilized her from the waist down. When her mother assessed her ready, Cassandra's first mission was to assassinate the Joker, who was threatening to blow up the United Nations in revenge for not being invited to join The Light. This left Cassandra's body, and particularly her face, covered in scars. This included cutting her vocal cords so that the only language she would learn was body language. Already a member of the League of Shadows, Shiva raises her daughter to be the ultimate assassin, subjecting her to a brutal regime to make her the perfect assassin.
