Chpt.1

Jason winced when Livy got punched in the gut, but she got right back up again, her face full of determination.

Roy threw another punch at her, but this time Livy blocked and kicked Roy in the gut.

"Nice kick." Jason muttered. Livy dodge another punch, and then threw one of her own. "Hmm, gotta work on that stance." Jason nodded.

Livy executed some good tumbles, dodging Roy's attacks, and then kicked him on the back.

However, Roy whirled around and punched Livy, and the girl flew backwards, landing roughly on the ground.

"Get up shorty." Roy stated with a smirk. A second went by, and Livy wasn't moving. "Shorty?" Roy rolled the girl over and frowned.

Jason eyes widened at her limp body and ran to her side, next to Roy.

"I knocked her out." Roy informed. "She'll be alright." Jason glared at the man as he scooped Livy into his arms, gently cradling her head on his bicep.

"This is just training, Roy. It was her first time sparring against you. You weren't supposed to knock her out." He growled.

"It was an accident. The little bitch hits hard so I started hitting hard." Roy grunted, crossing his arms. Jason shot the man a sharp glare.

"What did you just call my daughter?"

Roy lowered his head, and was silent. He knew that when Jason referred to Livy as his daughter, he was serious, and meant business.

Oddly enough, Livy was the same way. She never called Jason by, Dad, Daddy, or Father. She only called him Jason, and saved the names for serious situations.

To Roy, the two were a strange dad/daughter pair.

Jason walked out of the room, holding Livy protectively, taking her to her room.

They were staying at a house in Dorado, Puerto Rico. They had been staying there for the past three months. Jason and his companions were fighting the crime in San Juan at night while Jason trained Livy during the day.

"Livy." Jason whispered as he laid her on her bed. He frowned when he noticed that her eye started to darken due to the punch.

Jason quickly grabbed some ice for her eye, and gently pressed it to her face.

He could hear her grunt, and slowly start to bat her eyes open.

"Jason?" she questioned. "What happened?"

"Roy knocked you out while you two were sparring." Jason informed.

"Besides getting knocked out, what stuff do I need to fix?" Livy inquired. Jason couldn't help but chuckle. Livy was obsessed with trying to do well in training.

"You did great on your kicks, we just need to work on your stance, a little bit more." Jason informed, and Livy smiled.

"Can we practice it today?" Livy inquired as she slowly started to rise from the bed, but Jason gently pushed her back down.

"No, Livy. I just want you to rest, alright?" Livy sighed, but nodded.

"Alright." She said as she pressed the ice to her eye.

Livy could talk back to anyone. She sassed Roy, she sassed people she met, sometimes she would even talk back to Kor'i (and for some reason this made Kor'i smile.) but she never talked back to Jason. His word was law. Period. She gave him her respect, and would never sass him.

Roy pointed that out to Jason once, and he started to think more about it.

Livy acted very similar to an abused puppy. Ever since Jason took her in, she at first was scared of him, but after Jason proved that he was not going to hurt her, she was completely loyal to him.

Jason left her room to see Roy mindlessly shooting arrows at a target getting bull's-eyes each time.

"She okay?" Roy questioned as he continued to shoot.

"She's alright." Jason nodded. "Still, Roy, I want you to go easier on her. She just finished learning her basics. I don't want her to go from just learning how to do a decent kick to having to go face to face against a man five times her weight and height." Jason informed, and Roy sat for a moment, then questioned,

"How short was her mother, anyway? I mean, you're huge, and she is such a shorty. She got your good looks, I'll give you that, but when it comes to the height, she's like a midget."

Jason shot Roy an unamused look, making the man sigh heavily.

"Fine, I'll go easier on her next time we spar." Roy grumbled. He knew that he shouldn't have mentioned Livy's mother.

Jason was still beating himself up about that. That was one of the reasons why they went to Puerto Rico. Where Indira was born. He just wanted a small piece of her besides Livy. Livy combined with Puerto Rico was the closest her could get to the woman he love.

Roy placed his bow and quiver down and headed towards the door.

"I'm going out for some beer." He stated as he dug his hand into his pocket for his wallet. However, he quickly frowned.

"I am going to kill your kid." Roy grunted.

You'd think that Jason would be concerned over a statement like that, but no. He just looked at Roy with a look of pride on his face.

"What did she do?" he questioned.

"The damn pick-pocketing bitch stole my wallet." He grunted. Jason shot Roy a pointed look for the name calling, but Roy was too angry to care, and Jason was too tired to threaten him after the look didn't work.

Roy stormed over in the direction of Roy's room.

"And where are you going?" Jason inquired.

"I told you, to kill your kid." Roy stated angrily, and this just made Jason chuckle.

"You can try."

Roy opened the door of Livy's room to see the girl reading a book, still pressing the ice on her eyes.

"Give me my wallet, Bitch!" Roy shouted as he threw Livy's book from across the room.

"Cabron sucio!" Livy exclaimed, glaring at the man.

"What the hell did you just call me!"

"A little something I picked up around here." Livy answered as she got up from her bed and retrieved her book from the ground.

"Whatever, just give me my damn wallet." Roy growled, and Livy laughed.

"Took you long enough to figure it out." She chuckled as she reached under her pillow and threw his wallet at him, which he easily caught.

"Keep your damn hands out of my pockets shorty." Roy grunted as he opened up his wallet to check his money while leaving the room, however he stopped in the doorway.

"I'm missing a twenty." He stated.

"How'd you think I got the book." Livy smirked, holding up the hardcover novel titled: City of Bones.

"But you've been carrying that book around for about two days." Roy stated, and Livy chuckled.

"Like I said, it took you long enough to figure it out." She smiled.

"Damn brat!" Roy exclaimed as he lunged at her but she quickly dodged. She grabbed her book, flipped over Roy simultaneously grabbing his cap, then ran out of the room.

"Come back here bitch!" Roy exclaimed.

"Jason, I'm going out, be back by seven, love you, bye!" she exclaimed as she sprinted out the door.

"Bye." Jason smiled, giving his daughter a lazy wave as she sprinted out of the house with Roy chasing after her.

"Come back here!" Roy exclaimed and Jason stuck his foot out, tripping the man, giving Livy enough time to run off.

Roy shot a glare at Jason and he shrugged.

"I'm a bit biased." Jason chuckled.
