Summary
Robert’s breath catches.
There, on Chad’s upper right shoulder, is a tattoo of the Mecha Man symbol. It’s not huge, probably only the size of Robert’s palm but the stylized M is unmistakable, neat black lines shifting as Chad takes measured breaths.

Summary
Robert was human.
He felt pain, emotionally at least, felt joy, occasionally at least, and he even looked after Beef. Because why would he care about a dog if he wasn't human?
Yes, his body was made up of metal and wires, and he didn't eat or drink or breath. But what did that matter?AU where Robert is an AI that controls the Mecha Man armour.

Summary
“So you’re still hiding that shit, huh?”
Chase looks at Robert seriously, like he doesn’t get why Robert’s still doing it. They both know the biggest reason is fifteen years dead. If Robert wanted, he could let loose. Stretch them out. Not hide beneath layers and layers like he’s ashamed.
That’s just not who Robert is. He shrugs.

Summary
“Bob-Bob, we have a problem.”
Robert adjusted his reading glasses on the bridge of his nose, and clicked immediately through to the 1-to-1 window on his Dispatch screen, ready and on hand. “I’m on deck. What’s happening, Bae?”
“Well, there’s really no easy way to say this, but… I’m irresistible.”

Summary
Instead of Blonde Blazer telling Robert to cut a Z-Team member on his second day of work, she does it on his eighth. A little more experience with the team and — thanks to his sign-on bonus’s having processed — a little less overall stress changes how Robert responds.
The Z-Team’s finding a way to eavesdrop on his conversation with Blazer changes things even more.

Summary
Earlier that week he had received an envelope. Official looking. Bright read letters on the front of “FINAL NOTICE”. Stern wording. It was not the first time he had received such envelopes. It was, however, the first time it had been sent to his workplace rather than his mailbox at his apartment. Maybe because it was so crammed full that it couldn’t hold anymore. He couldn’t exactly have late payment notices if he had nothing to pay for. He paid his far-too expensive-for-the-amount-of-drafts rent on time thank you very much.
A brief, impolite summary of the letter would be “Get your shit out or we will fine you and sell off everything inside”. It was a tempting offer save for the fine.Or Alternatively: Robert is condemned to spend his Saturday cleaning out a long abandoned storage unit he didn’t even know existed. Punch-Up and Coupé volunteer to help! Surely there will be nothing important in this storage unit.

Summary
“Stop being a fucking idiot normie and work out properly.”
“I do. This,” He gestures vaguely at himself, “is entirely different.”
“How?” Flambae seems almost incredulous that Robert could possibly be hurt outside of his overconfidence in the gym.
“It’s always there, it just flares up every few days. I can manage it.”
Flambae puts his food down, the lightest trail of steam rising from it. “So, chronic.”
“Sure.” Robert deadpans. “Considering the shitshow that is my life, I wouldn’t put it past me.”
“And, what, you’re doing nothing about it?” Flambae presses with a glare, and Robert raises an eyebrow at his tone. Is that. . concern? Huh.
~~~
Robert's chronic pain is flaring up more often as the weather starts getting cooler. While juggling weeks mixed with dispatching and field work, now that he's Mecha Man again, it's proving to be pretty difficult to ignore.
However, a certain flaming asshole starts taking notice. His favors start to make Robert realize something and also force the two of them to confront the history that haunts them both before whatever this is starts to become an option.

Summary
“It’s not a real kid, Chase.”
Chase is technically underage, he’s a year away from being able to drink but the bartender didn’t bother to check his ID. Chase has always looked a little older than he was, it works in his favor now.
Nobody at a hero bar like this would assume he was so young.
“How the fuck do you think that?” Chase asks, spits. His hands still shake with the memory of it. The beer in his hand shakes with the tremors of his hands. “How the fuck do you do it?”
Mechaman sighs, deep, disappointed. He leans back, taking his whiskey with him.
The rest of the Brave Brigade was downstairs, drinking in victory, dancing with the other heroes, celebrating.
“It’s the Astral Pulse.”

Summary
Robert is struggling now that he’s defeated Shroud, the last fifteen years had all lead to this, and now that its over, he not sure what to do. He should return as Mecha Man of course, that was what he had wanted wasn’t it? …Wasn’t it?
He's all but ready to push these thoughts away until a certain fiery hero begins ambushing his dreams, bringing all his problems to the surface.
Flambae’s eyes lit as his gaze roamed Robert's frame, sinking lower and lower until they finally rose back up to stare down his tired face. “Wow, you look like—shittier than usual today. What the fuck happened to you?”
Robert held out his hand, folding his fingers as he listed off points, “Dead phone, no alarm, oh, and an asshole shoved himself in my face as soon as I got to work.”
Flambae’s grimace shifted to a smirk at the shorter man’s words, “You know your…” He fingered the collar of Robert’s shirt, and he could swear the man's fingers were about to burn right through the thin fabric, the heat of them nearly searing his skin.

Summary
“What’s a good line to text a guy during a blackout?”
Robert responded automatically, giving some cheesy line from the top of his head about looting that even he could tell wasn’t great - though he blamed it on his having to focus on the huge shitstorm brewing across the city thanks to the blackout.
…He didn’t particularly think Golem’s suggestion of “Boo” was that good either, but Flambae obviously had his own ideas of what guys want to hear. Given how often he bragged in comms about getting with different guys, maybe Robert’s judgement was just off.

Summary
Amber eyes widen, pupils dilating and mouth going slack as his gaze turns heated. The blatant desire on his face is one that Robert's seen in his dreams before, and it sends a bolt of heat across his cheeks and down his spine, but that turns into dread real quick when he realizes—
"Uhh, why is he looking at me like that?"
—that Flambae's looking at Galen.

Summary
Having multiple soulmates was something romanticized in stories, but absolutely loathed in practice. Made all the more complicated by the people experiencing it. Every bond was intermingled, looped and knotted up in others. It made the connections murky, the limits hard to grasp. Unfairly proportioned, a gift to some, a curse to others.
OR
“I just..” he motions up at the MechaMan suit. “I purposely stayed away. Tried to hide away from the bond. I felt like knowing me would only put them in danger. Heroes don't live safe lives. What if one of my enemies went for them because of me?”
“How about we look at it other way.” Robert frowns “If YOUR soulmate was in danger, would you want them to stay away? Or would you want them to let you help?”

Summary
“So, Robert, I hear you went out on a date.”
Robert chuckled into his receiver, at Invisigal’s opening for today’s bout of requisite Z-Team inane-ass smalltalk.
“I don’t know about any of you guys, but I am getting a very weird sense of déjà vu. Do we think Shroud is waiting somewhere round a corner, to try and kidnap Beef again?”
