Damian didn't completely trust Livy. She was raised by a homicidal maniac along with an ex-heroin addict, and an alien warrior princess.
She also used guns, and Damian knew that his father was against the weapons.
Father. He thought immediately as he continued to run next to Livy to where the explosion was set off. What would he want me to do? Is Livy my enemy? After we investigate the explosion site, am I supposed to apprehend her? But for doing what?
Damian was snapped out of his thoughts as he saw the building in flames. The firemen were already there, pulling people out.
"Everyone's out." Nodded one of the firemen.
Usually this would be when Damian left. The firemen had it covered, so why did he need to be there? He had more important things to do.
Livy, on the other hand, was quick to be at the fire men's side.
"How was the fire started?" Livy questioned and the fireman raised an eyebrow when he looked over at her.
"Who are you?" he questioned. Livy stuck her hand out and shook the fireman's hand.
"I'm Little Red." She answered kindly. She was much different from her father when it came to talking to people to get information. Damian sighed and was quickly at her side.
"How did the fire start?" he questioned, and the fireman was more willing to talk with Robin there.
"We're not sure. But judging on what it seems like, we're thinking an Arsonist caused this." He informed.
"Then we better start searching. Come a long Little Red." Damian stated, and Livy put her hands on her hips.
"Come along? I'm not some stupid dog, and besides, most Arsonists usually stick around to admire their work." She stated with plenty of sass.
"Don't talk as if you could do this job better than I could." Damian growled.
"Well, I probably could." Livy shrugged.
"What did you just say?"
"I'm pretty sure you heard me, but I'll repeat it for you in case you were too stupid to comprehend it." Livy informed with a smirk. "I, as in Little Red, probably could. In response how you said that I talked like I could do your job better than you."
"I know exactly where you were shot, would you like me to utilize this knowledge to make you be in extreme pain?"
"Believe me, I have felt extreme pain, and you are incapable of dealing it out." Livy retorted.
The fireman looked between the two young heroes awkwardly.
Livy then broke away from glaring at Damian to look at the crowd of people who were looking at the building that was still burning in several places.
"The man with the brown hair and black t-shirt. He doesn't look that distressed. Not to mention it looks like while starting the fire he accidentally scorched his shoe." Livy informed the fireman with a smirk. The man went to tell the police what the girl had told him.
Damian looked at Livy with pure hatred, making her smirk grow wider.
"That's how it's done, Baby Bird." Damian quickly tackled her and started to handcuff her hands behind her back.
"What's this for?" Livy inquired, but didn't sound too upset, only more curious.
"For illegal vigilantism." He stated, since it was the only thing he could think of to bring Livy in. He was doing the right thing… right? Livy busted out laughing.
"My god you're such a hypocrite." However, after the words left Livy's mouth, she broke free from Damian's hold and slipped her hands out of the handcuffs.
"You might wanna try tightening these things next time." She stated, then ran off to the rooftops, Damian following after her.
Livy laughed and giggled as Damian followed her. She was obviously having fun with the chase, and despite how Damian wouldn't admit it, he was finding the chase enjoying as well.
However, somebody else didn't know that they were having fun.
Before Damian's eyes, somebody grabbed Livy and held her tightly.
"I got her Robin!" he exclaimed, and Livy looked up at the… thing holding her and laughed.
"Now you see me…" Livy through down smoke pellets from her belt and took her captors shock to her advantage, getting out of his grasp. "Now you don't."
However, she didn't expect the thing to have so much strength. A blind punch sent her flying backwards towards the side of the building.
"Ow." She grunted.
"Robin, I…" he noticed the anger on his friends face and frowned. "Did something wrong?"
"Don't be mad at him, Baby Bird. I was pretty sure you wanted to catch me too." Livy smirked.
"Well… technically if I did bring you to my father, it would only anger your father and cause a terrible rift in our family.
"Wait, so you know her?" the guy questioned to Damian, and the boy sighed.
"Abuse, this is Little Red. Little Red, this is Abuse." He informed quickly with a grunt.
Livy stood to her feet and walked over to Abuse, her small hand wrapping around to shake his very big one.
"Nice to meetcha, Abuse. Robin and I are childhood friends. The first time I met him, he was a douche. Now that I'm back, I see nothing's really changed." She informed, smirking at Damian.
To Livy, messing with Damian was like playing with fire. It was very dangerous, but still was fun.
Livy's attention then turned to Abuse.
"How do you know Robin?" she inquired curiously.
"He's also a friend of mine." Abuse answered, looking over at Robin. Abuse clearly wasn't sure if he should like the random girl, or consider her an enemy. Damian was giving him mixed messages.
"That was a nice hook you got there." The girl informed, and Abuse looked at her, confused.
"Hook?"
"Y'know…" Livy made the punching motion that Abuse did when he punched her several moment prior. "Hook." She shrugged.
"Oh… thanks." Abuse said with a small smile, and Robin huffed.
"Alright. Alright." He grumbled, getting in-between the two. "Little Red, how long are you going to be here?" Damian questioned, and she shrugged.
"A few days… months… years… it really depends on what we feel like." She answered. Her belt made a small beep sound, and she sighed.
"Well, looks to me like I should be on my way." Livy informed as she positioned herself on the edge of the rooftop. "It's been fun, Baby Bird." She smirked, then looked over at Abuse, giving him a genuine smile. "Nice meeting ya, Abuse." With that, she jumped off the roof, and into the shadows.
Abuse was quiet for a moment.
"So… Robin…"
"I don't like her." He stated sharply.
"I wasn't going to say that." Abuse stated. Damian shot him a glare.
"Yes you were, now drop it. She is simply a nuisance."
"A pretty cool nuisance." Abuse smirked, and Damian shot him a glare.
"Colin, her father is the Red Hood. I am not attracted to daughters of crazy homicidal men." Damian stated sharply, and Colin just chuckled.
"Uh-huh. Okay."
