### Background

Caitlin Fairchild's father, Alexander Fairchild, was a member of the covert paramilitary group known as Team 7. He was subjected to the COBALT formula, a derivative of the chemical cocktail that produced Deathstroke. Though Alexander Fairchild didn't develop the uncanny physicality that transformed Slade Wilson into the deadly mercenary known as Deathstroke, his genes augmented in more subtle and stable ways. Alexander Fairchild become a mild superhuman.

While on a covert assignment on American soil, Alexander Fairchild met a young collegiate named Vesper, with whom he had an affair. After learning Vesper was pregnant, Alexander Fairchild took her on a surprise trip to Atlantic City where he convinced her to marry him.

However, as Vesper had plant to start interning at a radio station, she had no interest in raising a child. Alexander claimed he had come from a religious family and objected to the idea of aborting the pregnancy. Though regular arguments and vigorous debates, Alexander managed to convince Vesper to go through with carrying the child to term, but the intense arguments they had over this matter and Alexander's frequent deployments on overseas missions caused them to realize they were no longer compatible.

Unbeknownst to Vesper at the time, Alexander had actually been seeing other women on the side the whole time. His covert mission objective was actually to impregnate a woman to test his serum's potential second generational effects. Though she did not learn of the secret government experiments, Vesper did learn about Alexander's many affairs; however Vesper decided no to confront him until after the pregnancy was over.

### Caitlin Fairchild: 1997 - 2007

Shortly after her daughter Caitlin was born, Vesper filed for divorce. She did not contest custody and agreed to allow Alex to take custody of their daughter, on the condition he not raise her in Gotham City. Alex agreed and once Caitlin was old enough to travel, he moved home to Star City where his family could look after Caitlin when he was deployed overseas.

Growing up, Caitlin was exceptionally intelligent. She had a natural affinity for most types of science, but she had a gift for computers, building her first one at seven.

When she was ten, Caitlin's father was assassinated by a hit squad. The same squad kidnapped Caitlin and brought her to a secret Cadmus Labs for testing.

While at the lab, Caitlin met several children, all showing signs of extraordinary powers. Caitlin did not regard herself as exceptional, being physically weak and frail. However, Caitlin's brain chemistry was different and the drugs Cadmus used to keep the children docile had no effect on Caitlin. With the scientists not realizing the drugs' limited effects on her, Caitlin managed to sneak into a communications room and hacked their system enough to send a fire alarm to the Justice League.

When three young heroes investigated the alarm, Caitlin was able to use the chaos to locate the antidote to the drugs that had impaired the other children. Once freed from the fugue state, Caitlin was able to lead the children to freedom.

### Caitlin Fairchild: 2007 - 2013

Responding to the incident was DEO Agent John Lynch, was not only assigned to investigate the Cadmus incident, but he was also a former friend of her father. Lynch put the kids in new homes with safe families and protection details. Five years later, Lynch had been hired by ARGUS to help with the Titans program. Part of his agreement with the Titans was to help the kids that wanted it receive training on how to use their abilities. Of the children under his protection, five were accepted to join the Titans — Caitlin, Bobby, Eddie, Sarah, Roxie.

At the time, scrawny Caitlin was not sure how she could be a hero material, but her fascination with Superboy meant she was not willing to turn down the chance. But on her first day at the Tower, Caitlin and the others were betrayed by Silver Scarab and handed over to the Reach.

	+ ***Coding Sequence:*** Caitlin has an unnatural ability to understand and write highly advanced computer code. This ability for decryption also allows her to decipher languages quickly, giving her an innate ability to learn new languages at a rapid pace. She is currently known to speak thirteen languages, including English, Kryptonian, Spanish, French, German, Russian, Korean, Amazonian, Reach, and Atlantean.
	+ ***Memory Processing:*** Caitlin is able to think and perceive 9 times faster and utilize that much more of her mind than the average human for information processing and sorting. She can instantly recall anything she has experienced without being overwhelmed or pausing for thought.
	+ ***Precision:*** Caitlin's sense of time is perfect.
	+ ***Problem-Solving:*** Due to her familiarity with computers, Caitlin's mind has been organized as a virtual supercomputer — built for strategy and problem-solving, one that works at optimal ability even when she is under stress and fatigue. She can work out of battle ahead of time for every possibility and predict enemy movements and tactics after the battle has engaged by the instantly recalling and utilizing memorized mannerisms acquired through past experience.
	+ ***Sensory Processing:*** Caitlin's senses work in tandem to such a degree that she can experience sensations that normal humans could not, effectively mimicking the effect of supernatural senses. Furthermore, Caitlin can see in different frequencies of light and hear outside the range of normal human hearing, though these all require Caitlin to actively dedicate her brain to function in this manner, requiring focus.
