After meeting him, Roy became his sidekick, becoming Speedy.
Later Speedy teamed up with Robin, Kid Flash, Wonder Girl, and Aqualad in order to help their mentors who were being controlled. After that mission the five of them decided to form the Teen Titans, they lasted for a long time until they all felt that they should focus on their studies and disbanded.
