Prompt: Roy Harper/Ex-Robins, wasn't Roy lucky
Summary: It was going to take more than just Roy to make sure Dick didn't fall too far into being Batman.
Roy looked at the phone in his hand, seriously contemplating throwing it at the nearest wall. He let out a sigh of frustration and attempted to regroup his thoughts. It had only been a few weeks since his best friend took up the mantle of the Bat, but already Roy could feel Dick slipping away from him. He supposed that being Batman was synonymous with being a cold unfeeling bastard, but he never expected the change to occur so soon.
The phone call from Dick canceling plans to take Lian to the Zoo had been the final straw. It wasn't the fact this was the first cancellation of this trip, Roy understood the job often had to take priority over all else. But each successive call canceling had taken on a cooler tone than the last. In fact all of Roy's recent communications with Dick had him feeling like he was talking to a stranger. A rude, arrogant stranger. He had made a promise to Dick back when they were Teen Titans. He would never let Dick become like Bruce, consumed by his other identity. The problem was that he had no idea how to stop that from happening. How do you help someone who doesn't know they need help? It was almost as if he needed to gather all of Dick's friends and family and stage an intervention. And then suddenly there it was; the perfect answer. Not an intervention exactly, that approach probably wouldn't work when dealing with Batman. He'd probably just knock them all out with nerve gas and then leave. But he could recruit another person to help save Dick. Because it was going to take more than just himself to ensure this mission was a success. He needed someone sneaky. Someone who could coerce Dick into backing away from the edge before he fell into the never-ending pit of darkness and angst that being Batman seemed to require. Someone like a Robin. That was it! Roy needed a Robin. Or rather the most recent ex-Robin, he thought, shaking his head again at his friend's recent actions and the change in Robins. Roy knew just how to find that particular Robin. Wasn't he lucky?
