Oh my god, so, okay. After a month, Ollie finally notices he hasn't seen Roy around -- Ollie's been off gallivanting with Hal Jordan, and, like, being more of a terrible guardian than Batman. Ollie stumbles onto a drug ring, tracks 'em down, and finds Roy in the den of iniquity. And, like, Ollie thinks Roy's undercover at first, which is nice of him, although SO NOT PAYING ATTENTION, OLLIE. Ollie and Hal try to bust up a dope ring, get jumped and pumped full of junk. Roy pulls their asses out of the fire.
And then, okay, must transcribe:
Hal: I still don't understand... why people want to poison themselves with heroin... pills... the whole sick-bag!
Roy: Maybe I can throw some light on the reason, GL!
Roy: Say a young cat has someone he respects -- looks up to... an older man!
And say the older man leaves... chases around the country... gets involved with others and ignores his young friend! Then... the guy might need a substitute for friendship --
-- he might seek it in -- junk!
Oh, Roy. Make it sound less like Ollie's your sugar-daddy-one-true-only-drug, will you?
Ollie, predictably, thinks Roy's reasoning is utter bullshit. Later, after Hal leaves, Ollie wanders over to Roy's room offering chili... AND FINDS ROY SHOOTING UP OMG.
Ollie smacks Roy around, destroys his stash. Roy verbally hands Ollie his ass, asking him if hitting Roy makes him feel more like a man. Ollie turns his head away, and tells Roy to get out. After throwing Roy out of his house, Ollie goes off to fight the war on drugs. Badly.
Hal later finds Roy in an alley, shivering and sick, coming down. Hal offers to take him to a doctor; Roy says fuck no, he's kicking heroin himself, just so he can rub it in Ollie's face. Hal says, fuck this noise, I'm taking you to Dinah.
Dinah, predictably, is awesome with Roy.
Roy, somehow, kicks heroin in a couple of days. He shows up with Dinah, telling Ollie he's clean. Ollie says, "Good boy..." Roy sucker punches him. Roy then gives a public service announcement about drugs, leaves, and Ollie watches him go with tears running down his face because his boy has just become a man!
