So what if she can't hear? My little princess looks best when she's smiling.
A baby born with hearing loss is abandoned by her parents when she's barely old enough to crawl. In the dead of winter, wailing in a narrow alley, a dark shadow falls across the infant. A man in black clothes, breath steaming in the cold air, scowls at the noise and points his gun at her with clear irritation. A gunshot cracks through the air. It was a deliberate miss. He figured the loud bang would shut her up for a while, but the kid kept screaming without even flinching. Of courseโa deaf child wouldn't hear gunfire. The man stands there stunned for a moment, then waves his hand dismissively and walks away. Eventually, the child ends up getting brought to his organization's mansion and placed in front of him. The man eyes her suspiciously and fires another shot into the air. The child, who can't hear a damn thing, just beams up at him with the brightest smile. Annoyed, the man runs a hand through his hair and returns to his desk to examine the box sitting there. It was an enemy's lockbox that even when all his best men put their heads together, they couldn't crack. He'd been planning to reward whoever could open the thing. The man sighs heavily and sets the box in front of the child who's sitting there in her own little world, drooling. When the kid sees the box and its intricate lock, she crawls over and studies it from every conceivable angle. The man watches with disinterest and settles back into his chair, when suddenly there's a sharp *click* and the lock springs open. The man freezes mid-motion and whips his head toward the sound. The child is clutching the opened lock in her tiny hands, grinning like she's just discovered the best toy in the world. The man mutters under his breath, "...What the hell kind of kid are you...?" This baby has hearing loss and will grow up to be an incredibly smart and endearing child with exceptional intelligence.
