Chpt.12

Livy liked Amal. He was friends with Jason, and didn't show any animosity to her. Another thing she liked about him was his food.

Once Livy and Jason arrived in Germany with Amal, he quickly took them to his home and insisted on feeding them.

Livy tried to keep some semblance of table manners, but she still scarfed down the food quickly with enthusiasm. This didn't seem to bother Amal in the least, and he continued to pile food on her plate.

"So Jason, how did you meet Lify?" Amal inquired as they ate.

"She tried to mug me." Jason informed nonchalantly, while Livy's face was a light shade of red. She wasn't proud of the fact that she tried to mug the man who showed her so much kindness.

"Mug? I remember vhen zat one man tried to mug you here. Didn't you break his arm?" Amal questioned. Jason chuckled to himself, as Livy shifted in her seat uncomfortably.

"And I dislocated his shoulder. But I was angrier back then. I didn't think about the people who I hurt." Jason informed, and Livy calmed down.

"So Lify mugged you, und you took her in?" Amal questioned.

"No. she helped me out, and we had a small chat, and we figured it would be mutually beneficial if we stuck together." Jason informed.

"Mutually beneficial? Jason you better not mean…"

"She's a Nurse." Jason stated, shooting Amal a glare. "Seriously Amal, if that was the first thing to come to your mind, you really are a pervert."

"What came to his mind?" Livy inquired, confused.

"Puppies." Jason answered shortly.

"But…"

"So, Lify," Amal stated, cutting her off. "Vhere did you learn to become a nurse?" he inquired, hoping that Livy wouldn't go back to asking about the "puppies".

"My Mommy taught me. She was like a doctor and healed lots of people, and I watched and helped." Livy smiled. "My Mommy was the best." She grinned.

Amal smiled at Livy but there was some sadness in his eyes. He could gather that her mother had died, and he made a mental note not to bring her up.

After Dinner, Amal showed Jason and Livy where they would be staying. Livy had gotten Amal's daughter's old room, and Jason had gotten the guest room.

"It's getting dark Jason." Amal informed with a small smirk, and Jason smiled and nodded back.

"Livy, Amal and I are going to head out for the night. You can go to bed but can you be ready to help us if we come back hurt?" Jason inquired.

"Yes." Nodded Livy seriously. "Is Amal a vigilante too?" she questioned.

"Yes, I am." Livy looked up to see Amal dressed up like a werewolf. "People call me the volf man." He informed.

Most little girls who saw the costume screamed in horror and ran away crying, while Livy just stood where she was, staring at him.

"Oh my gosh." Livy whispered, but then smiled brightly. "That's so cool!" she exclaimed. Jason ruffled her hair.

"So, we're heading out. Will you be alright here?" Jason questioned, and Livy nodded her head.

"Yes. I'll be fine."

Livy listened to the door close, and she laid down in her bed, rubbing her stomach from feeling o full.

"Amal's a really great cook." Livy said to herself with a smile. She felt bored as she sat in the room, and looked over at the bookshelf.

She walked over to it and her eyes gazed at each book, but she couldn't find anything about health or medical business.

"Harry Potter?" she questioned as she slid out the first book out of the series. "I wonder what this is about." She mumbled as she brought the book with her to the bed and opened it to the first page.

~*~*~*~*~Four Hours Later~*~*~*~*~

Livy was halfway done the second book of Harry Potter when she heard the door to the house swing open and then closed.

"Papa! Papa!" a young woman's voice exclaimed.

"Guten Tag?" Hello? Livy questioned as she ran out to where the voice was. Livy then saw a young woman in about her early twenties with brown hair and fair skin. She was bruised all over and she had a long cut down her arm.

"Wer sind Sie?" Who are you? The woman questioned in a panicked voice.

"Ich heiße Livy. Ich bin ein Freund von Amal und Jason Todd." I am called Livy. I am a friend of Amal and Jason Todd.

"Jason?" the girl whispered, but looked scared and uneasy as her eyes rested on the door, and then at the little girl.

"Bitte, du bist verletzt. Lass mich dir helfen." Please, you're hurt. Let me help you. Livy stated gently.

The woman slowly walked over to the girl, and Livy grasped her hand.

"Sind Sie Letta?" Are you Letta? Livy inquired The girl nodded her head and Livy took her to her room.

Letta sat on the bed while Livy ran to the bathroom and grabbed the medical kit.

"Do you speak English?" Livy inquired, and the girl nodded once again. "Who did this to you?" Livy questioned as she dabbed at Letta's cut with a cotton ball and some iodine.

"He is mad." He whispered. "He is a lunatic."

"Who?" Livy inquired.

"Burk." Letta informed shaking her head. "My husband. I do not vant to be near him." she started to cry, and Livy gave her some tissues.

"Everything'll be okay. I'm sure of it. Your dad's a really nice person. I'm positive that he'll help you." Livy smiled as she started to wrap up the girl's cut.

Letta dried her tears and looked over at the girl with a small grin, but very curious.

"You say that your name is Lify? And you know Jason Todd?" Letta questioned.

"Yes." Livy nodded as she examined the woman's body for any more injuries.

"Are you his daughter?" she inquired, and Livy giggled.

"No, but a lot of people think that. I dunno why though." Livy shrugged.

"You hafe his eyes und nose." Letta informed, and Livy just shrugged. "So vhy are you here? Are you und Jason shtaying with Papa?" she inquired.

"Yeah. Your dad is very nice and he cooks awesome food." Livy smiled.

"Do you know vhen he und Jason will be back?" she inquired.

"No. I'm sorry." Livy frowned, but Letta wrapped an arm around Livy.

"Do not frown Lify. It vill be alright as long as Burk does not come here." She informed, and Livy smiled at the woman.

Letta hugged Livy even tighter. Partially because she was still frightened about Burk but also because she thought Livy was adorable.

"Vere you reading zis?" Letta inquired, picking up the Harry Potter book.

"Yes. I never read it before." Livy informed.

"Nefer?" Letta inquired shocked. "Vell, vould you like me to read zis to you as vee vait for Papa und Jason?"

Livy would usually decline, because she could read quickly on her own, but Letta seemed to be just as friendly as Amal, and also, Livy missed stories being read to her. That was something her mother used to do.

"Yes please."
