"You plan on moving in the near future, fearless leader?"
Dick turned to see Roy leaning against the cockpit door. "Why should I? The world is due to go to hell again in three hours, so I'm conserving energy and staying right here."
"A least drink this before you pass out on me," said Roy as he passed Dick a sports drink. "How long were you out there?"
"Seven, maybe eight hours? The thing pancake collapsed so we spent most of the time cribbing the structure. Urban search and rescue is taking over."
"That's a good thing, because I don't think you could take any more sun," Roy said while assessing the Titan leader's condition.
"Rom don't burn," Dick growled, taking another sip of the liquid.
"No shit. Well, my mistake. I'll just go call Doctor Mid-Nite because you've gone meta on us. Congratulations." Roy smirked as Dick glared at him. The look failed to silence the archer as he continued. "I think you should take this as an opportunity to remake your superhero identity. With that face, blending in to the shadows is no longer an option. Embrace the colors of your youth and give yourself a new name. I vote for Nightlight."
"Are you volunteering to be my sidekick?"
"Nah, I'll continue to be the much-better-looking-highly-skilled-best-friend who drops in on occasion to help out. I will, however, offer my services in renaming all your gadgets."
"Is it really that bad?"
"Just be glad you're no longer in short pants. I wouldn't make any plans to appear as Dick Grayson anytime soon."
Dick gave Roy a questioning look. "What's that supposed to mean?"
"Two words, dude – tan lines."
