   Summary

   After the Justice League confronts Red Hood and Arsenal about the co-dependent nature of their relationship, the pair of Outlaws (who are not together), agree to go to therapy. It just happens to be couple's counselling. (Attempted crack treated seriously, but tbh the crack falls off part of the way through. Then it's just regular serious angst.)

   Or: 5 times JayRoy went to couple's counselling not as a couple, and 1 time they do
