Enslaved

Green Arrow punched Roy. Hard enough for Roy to take several steps back, but short of actually knocking him out. He wasn't quite sure if it was intentional on Oliver's part or not. "You couldn't have possibly thought that would be a good idea!"

Roy winced before quickly recovering and putting on his usual defiant expression. "I know what I'm doing."

"You signed on to be Lex Luthor's butt boy. That is the very essence of not having a clue of what you're doing!"

"He's giving me information. Sometimes you have to play dirty to achieve your goal."

"We've checked all the leads he's given you. Three cleared, the rest….you got played, son."

Green Arrow watched as the information sunk in his ex-protegé's mind. As much as it pained Roy to admit it, he was still quite young. At least in this regard. While Roy had idiotically thought himself capable of seducing Lex Luthor in order to get information from him, he hadn't counted on Lex staying true to himself and using him right back. The arrogant part of Roy had probably expected Lex to actually fall for him.

"No. No!" Roy seemed to be cursing himself. He hesitated for a moment, and then swiftly departed, undoubtedly to confront Lex. Oliver wondered for a moment whether he should call for reinforcements or at least someone to keep an eye on Lex and on what exactly would happen between the two. He picked up the phone. "Hi. Uh…Roy's in trouble. Yes, it is as we expected."
