It had been six months since Roy met Dick and finally realized that maybe he didn't have the worse family relationships compared to others. He couldn't even picture a life where Joker acted as one's uncle and Harley the adoring auntie. Shivers would run down his back at the mere thought over that topic. 
And Roy hated how much he was a sucker for those needing to be saved. His hero life really kept its chains wrapped around him and forced him to his knees whenever he tried walking away. For God shakes he had a daughter to care for now and didn't need to deal with someone else's family problem. 
But god damnit, Dick shouldn't have looked so pained when walking away. 
He didn't judge him for being a single parent or having a drug problem, he simply took it in stride and chose him from anyone else at that gala. They smiled, laughed and got along so damn well that it wasn't fair. Why did he have to walk away like he wasn't worth anyone's time or that anyone would even want to be near him anymore. 
Sure, the whole villain child was a shock and anyone would need a couple of seconds to wrap their heads around the news but still. He didn't have to give up before even giving anything a chance. 
He wasn't obsessed with the man who he only held one conversation with. This wasn't some Disney film where he'd fall in love at first glance, no thank you. 
He was simply pissed off. 
He was ready to be rejected and treated like the black sheep of the world of the rich, he wasn't expecting to see someone expect the same from him. They had a moment. A short moment but something clicked into place between them. 
Dick deserved a second chance just as he had. 
Even if a certain Red Hood kept making unnecessary comments over "obsession" whenever he was caught thinking over the man or mentioning him. For his first friend and a guy who survived death, he was a total asshole sometimes. 
Even Kory, delightful Kory, was a pain in the arse during this matter. She would listen and try to give her own view over it but it wasn't very helpful. She had assumed that Dick would either stand as a village, become an anti-hero like them somehow or worse that he was actually a spy sent to gain intel from him somehow. 
It wasn't openly knowledge that he stood as Red Arrow, Speedy or arsenal at some point in his life. He stopped hiding behind a mask for some missions and the outlaws were gaining some fame in the underworld. 
But no one should have worked him out that fast and not anyone in Gotham. He was never in Gotham unless he was hiding in Jason's safe house while his friend tried visiting the bat-clan or help them out with a mission. 
Meaning Dick wasn't some spy sent to gain intel on him or somehow try to get his head for some hitman job either. Kory had to be wrong with that line of thinking. 
Neither she or Jason met Dick and Roy knew he wasn't evil, not like some of the guys they've faced before. 
Dick was kind.
