"Hey Ollie" Said the twelve year old boy as he entered the living room. "I'm so bored and I heard there was a fair. Can we go?" He made the best puppy eyes he could but he wasn't Dick.

"Sorry chum had a tough week, let´s just relax today and we can do something tomorrow" Answered Oliver as he turned the page in the wine magazine he was reading.

Roy glared him across the room. "You said that yesterday but you went on patrol and didn't even take me! Besides I have school tomorrow and I'll get more bored and more and more and you don´t even care"

"I'll take you to the park on Friday"

"Yeah right" Said Roy disappointed.

Well if Oliver wouldn't take him to the fair he would find a way by himself and with a smirk on his face he left the room.

Ten minutes later Oliver was taking a nap when suddenly he heard a loud crash coming from the street. He quickly ran to the front door fearing the worst. He didn't bother to put his shoes. When he arrived the street his suspicions were confirmed. There was his brand new Ferrari crashed in a tree and driving it or attempting to drive it was his stubborn ward.

He raced to the car and dragged a pale Roy out of it. After double checking that he didn´t had any injury he took the shocked kid back to the house and started scolding him. Even though he was shouting the kid didn't even blinked.

"What the hell were you thinking? You could have killed you"

"I wanted to go to the fair". He responded in a soft voice that Oliver could barely hear.

"So you thought it was a great idea to take my car and go?"

"See, you don't care about me, you just care about your stupid car and if I hadn't crashed it you wouldn´t be so angry" Shouted back Roy.

That is when Oliver exploded.

Paff.

Ollie turned on him, backhanding him across the face. He could already see the red marks appearing.

Roy blinked twice as tears begin to cross his face.

Realizing what he had just done Oliver hugged Roy as hard as he could without hurting him.

"I´m sorry kid, you scared the hell out of me, never say that I don't care for you because that's not true. I love you Roy, you are my son".

He heard soft sobs so he begun to rub his son´s back. Roy mumbled something that sounded like a m sowy Ollie and for the billionaire that was enough.

"Never make something as stupid as this again. Ok kiddo?" The kid nodded and Oliver smiled.

Of course Roy would make really stupid things later on but Oliver would never lay a hand over his son again. It would be the only time Oliver hit Roy.
