The Comprehensive Evolution of American Comics.

Chapter 1229

With Batman's approval, Robin revealed Damian's situation, surprising not only Roy but also the other members of the Young Justice League.

"This matter was originally confidential, and I only found out about it recently."

Robin explained, "But because of your condition, Green Arrow asked Batman to let me tell this story, just to calm you down."

Actually, that didn't happen. Batman simply handed the chips to Robin, letting him make a judgment based on the situation. The sentence he just mentioned was added by Robin himself.

Robin believes this will not only help repair the relationship between the two, but also use the factor of family ties to bring Roy back.

He could tell that although Roy had previously refused to communicate with Green Arrow, his attitude towards Kid Flash at the scene showed that Roy could not completely let go of everything he had once possessed.

The reason he refused to communicate with Green Arrow was, as Yang Le said, that the former's demeanor was simply unconvincing, not because he genuinely disliked the other man.

Robin grasped this point and cleverly used the emotional appeal, which seems to be working quite well so far.

Roy remained silent for a long time without saying anything, but at this moment, silence spoke louder than words, and Robin felt that she had completed the mission perfectly.

"thank you all."

Roy struggled for a while before managing to utter these words, and just as everyone was showing relieved smiles, he spoke again.

"Although I am certain that the years I spent with you in my mind were not fake, I still feel that I cannot live a life that is not my own with a clear conscience."

Kid Flash panicked when he heard this and tried to argue with Roy, but Superboy, who was standing behind him, held him back.

"So what do you want to do?" Superboy asked.

“I’m going to rescue the real Roy Harper.” The clone Roy’s gaze was resolute. “We are both victims in this, but he is more pitiful than me.”

"We're already years late; we can't let him lie in that dark, sunless place any longer."

"That's a good point, buddy."

Seeing the change in Roy's eyes, the Kid of Lightning knew that Roy had found a new target, and since he had a target now, the other party was probably safe for the time being.

Overjoyed, he forgot about his pretense of being a patient and hurriedly tried to stand up. Luckily, Superboy's hand was on his shoulder the whole time, so he wasn't exposed.

“This is beyond our control.” Robin also breathed a sigh of relief. “You’re a man too, look at yourself. I think you should take a long vacation.”

“That’s you guys.” Roy gave a not-so-relaxed smile. “Although there were some mishaps along the way, I should still be considered a member of the Justice League. Unless Batman kicks me out, I should be qualified to participate in this operation.”

"What else can I say after you've said that?" Robin shrugged.

...

When the Young Justice League led the clone Roy out of the confinement cell, Green Arrow looked relieved, but his heart jumped again when he heard that the clone was going to participate in the rescue of the real Roy.

"This won't do, Roy, your condition..."

"I'm in good condition."

Clones interrupted Green Arrow, grabbed a pen from the table, and flung it at the conference room's electronic screen without even looking at it.

The screen displayed photos of several Illuminati leaders identified by the Justice League, and Roy's thrown pen landed squarely on Lex Luthor's bald head. After all, when it comes to cloning, Luthor is probably the first person that comes to mind, and Superman, his longtime nemesis, has been thoroughly annoyed by him in this regard.

In that case, Superboy should be the only clone that Superman accepted, since the previous clones didn't have many he could communicate with.

"I remember reading in the financial report that this screen wasn't actually cheap to make," Flash muttered weakly from the side.

"Put it on Green Arrow's tab." Clone Roy didn't mince words, pointing a thumbs-up at Green Arrow beside him, who simply sighed and said nothing.

However, Yang Le knew that Green Arrow was extremely happy at this moment. Given Roy's personality, unless he had truly come to his senses, he would never be willing to spend his money.

Roy's action was actually a gesture of goodwill.

For Green Arrow, even though the Roy in front of him is a clone, he can't just ignore him because of that.

Humans are emotional beings. After all, they've lived together for so many years, and Green Arrow has always treated the clone Roy like a son. How could they not have developed feelings for each other?

Green Arrow's idea was to raise both Roys as sons if possible, but if one or both of them were to resist, then they would have to deal with it later.

At least for now, there are no problems with cloning Roy. Everything will depend on his attitude after the real Roy is rescued.

Green Arrow knew that Roy was originally a good kid, but after so many years of living in darkness, his spirit and mentality would definitely change.

It can only be said that the task is arduous and the road ahead is long.

Ignoring Green Arrow, who was full of unspoken thoughts, Batman was looking at Roy with disapproval.

"Your current situation is just a euphemism. The real reason we don't approve of your participation in the activity is because you are an unstable factor."

“I can let Martian hunter examine my brain,” Roy insisted.

“There are many experts in the alliance who specialize in mental and spiritual matters. I can have them examine my brain until they confirm that I have no problems.”

“We don’t have that much time for you,” Batman denied again.

The clone Roy knew that Batman was right, but he also knew that if he didn't rescue the real Roy, he would go insane.

After a moment of silence, Roy decided to change his strategy.

He straightened up and said calmly, "Even if you don't let me go, I will go by myself."

Roy looked Batman straight in the eye, something few could do. At that moment, everyone around seemed to forget to breathe, and the room was eerily quiet.

After a moment, Batman finally relented.

"You only have five hours. If you haven't resolved your issues by then, then there's no point in discussing anything further."

"Five hours? I can even take a hot shower." Roy said casually, then hurriedly turned and ran out of the conference room.

His actions were completely contrary to what he said. Judging from his appearance, he must have gone to find the Martian girl. Obviously, Roy was not as relaxed as he claimed.
