Summary
But Robert knew no matter how much he wanted it, kindness wasn’t something he, or his stupid, broken down body, deserved.
He pulled away again, averting his eyes self-consciously whenever he remembered why he was really there tonight. The last thing he wanted was for Waterboy to see him like that. To see what the hero that he idolised was really like behind all the smoke and mirrors.
Herman’s smile fell at the same time as his lighter-coloured eyebrows rose, “D-don’t you want to dance-join in?” He glanced around the place where Robert was still leaning against the counter, “You’re all by your-alone.”
Not for long, if I’m lucky, Robert thought bitterly. The ache that had been building in his gut all day felt like a ravenous, gnawing hole now. It twisted something inside of him, made him feel sick and rotten and wrong. And a thousand miles away from the sweet-faced, wetsuit-wearing hero currently giving up his Saturday night to help keep a bunch of villains safe at a crappy metal night.

Robert really needs to stop placing his self-worth in the words of a dead man.Or, Robert self-worth is six feet under on the 16th anniversary of his father’s death now that he’s no longer Mecha Man and no longer having to worry about Shroud, the Z Team is there to comfort him.

Summary
The doors swing open.
"S-sorry I'm late!"
Mandy holds back a sigh of relief, before turning to smile at the newcomer. "No worries, Waterboy. Take a seat and we'll… start…"
She blinks. Once, then twice. Then—
"Oh. Wow. You look—"
"You actually look fuckable, what the hell," Courtney wheezes, sounding just as stunned as Mandy feels. Neither notice the sound of Prism's phone shutter clicking multiple times.

Summary
“That's…” Mandy coughs in her hand, “Word for word what Chase said.”
Robert huffs out a little laugh. “He’s been complaining about these two since I first started. Don’t take it to heart. Ask him again in, say, like an hour or so, you’ll get a better answer then.”
“That’s… smart actually.”
“Thanks, I’ve been known to be smart every few thoughts are so.” Robert crosses his arms on the divider, one arm leaning down and the other cushioning his chin.
The same thing Chase did when he checked up on her.
Mandy blinks. “Did you..? Did you do that on purpose?”
Robert blinks in return. “Did what on purpose?”
=====
Siblings are weird. Mandy may be an only child, but even she understands this.
However, Robert and Chase's relationship is even weirder, especially when Mandy starts to notice some weird similarities between the two.
Or maybe that's just another sibling thing Mandy is unaware of.

Summary
So here's the thing: let it be known that Robert Robertson the III is not a quitter. Despite life seeming to only know how to punch down on him, he continues to crawl forward.
He has hunted down Shroud for over fifteen years, he had rebuilt the Mecha Suit, and he managed, quite literally, the worst possible team in all of California.
But this? This might be his breaking point.
TLDR; Someone voluntold Robert to be shipped off to Japan to teach a bunch of kids. Robert and Z-Team are not okay with this.

Summary
Robert has always treated his body like something temporary—maintained just enough to keep going. Then one run-in with a passing villain leaves him younger, unscarred, standing in a body that no longer carries the visible proof of the pain he survived. As the Z-Team watches him move through the world in a way he hasn’t in years, concern sharpens into something heavier. Others begin to notice what Robert himself has long learned to dismiss, and the truth becomes harder to avoid: whatever hit him didn’t just revert him—it revealed how much pain he’d been living with, and how quietly he let it happen. Because if this is who Robert used to be, then the version they’ve known has been surviving far more than he ever admitted.

Or: Robert gets caught in the crossfire of a fleeing villain’s power—and wakes up in the body he had at twenty-one.

Summary
“Sooo have you actually had gay sex?” Victor asks genuinely curious.
Robert tilts his head, an actual grin breaking through. “Have the news ever lied to you?”
Everyone stares at Robert. He just shrugs.

Unfortunately, they are completely whipped.
