#mad bc i saw that first panel and then my brain immediately spawned similar panels--and i just had to make a post about it

Tales of the Teen Titans #59

The way that Dick's help (or I guess Dick is speaking on behalf of the Titans here but still) is a given is sooo 😭. It's like when Roy asked Dick to help him and the CBI with Cheshire. Dick's immediate response was, "No problem, Roy."

Action Comics Weekly #613

Then there's the time when Roy went to Dick for help with KGBeast. Dick was too busy to personally assist him, but even though Dick couldn't help directly, he didn't leave Roy out to dry. He actively petitioned for some of Bruce's time for Roy's benefit.

Batman Plus Arsenal

Another time, Dick was talking to Damian on the phone, and while they were talking, he got a bunch of texts from Roy asking if he could help out with some business in Gotham.

Nightwing (Vol. 4) #43

We didn't see Dick respond to the texts, but he obviously agreed to help Roy right away because he then met up with both Damian and Roy in Gotham. Dick and Damian then proceeded to help Roy with his Cheshire problem. *cough* And while it's not totally relevant to this post, I'm just gonna drop Damian's snarky comment here because of the insinuation 😌.

Nightwing (Vol. 4) #43

I won't include the times Dick helped Roy without Roy even asking him to, but just know they do exist, and that Roy has done that for Dick as well, most notably through the Outsiders situation. Their willingness to help each other just makes what Dick said to Roy in Outsiders #11 hit so much harder.
