    Summary

    Soulmate marks appear when you meet your soulmate. If the bond is strong enough, you feel echoes of each other's pain.

    Robert Robertson III got his mark three years ago and doesn't remember who gave it to him. Flambae was arrested by Mecha Man three years ago, has been hiding his mark ever since that day.

    or,

    Two people connected by pain, by destiny, by a bond they can't escape. Both carrying three years of suffering. Both trying to figure out what it means to be soulmates when the connection started with trauma.

    Summary

    It baffles her how he didn't notice. How did he not notice he couldn't hear out of one side of his head? What is wrong with him? “How the hell do you do that?”
    He tilts his head, not unlike a dog. Like Beef. “Do what, exactly?”

    Robert is not stupid, he’s not oblivious. Lord knows he isn't, he uses the teams’ feelings for him against every single one of them. “How you can just- not notice stuff like, I don’t know, not being able to fucking hear.”

    “I can hear fine. It’s just quieter with my left ear on its own, apparently.” And she wants to kill him, just a little.

     

    Or, Robert gets to experience the consequences of not-his-actions, and suffers. Z-Team helps him out.

    Summary

    Robert has always been alone, since the day his papa killed his dad, making him lose both his parents all in one night. Since the day he had been forced to take the mantle of Mecha Man at the age of 15, to keep the family legacy going. Force to keep moving, never staying in one place to avoid being kidnapped by his papa who wants him and the Astral Pulse.

    But now both the Mecha suit is destroyed and the Astral Pulse is missing. Luckily for Robert, SDN had promise to rebuild it to the best of their abilities in return of him dispatching for a superhero team. Unfortunately, the team he has been assigned to is the Z-Team, ex-villains trying to become heroes. They are also a bunch of assholes who not only make the job much harder than it should be but make it their job to drag him out of his goal of only being Mecha Man and teaching him to be Robert. Especially Sonar, who slowly finds himself wanting to have the brown eye, freckle face hero by his side forever and to teach him that he doesn't need to destroy himself to gain the approval of a dead man who never loved him.

    Summary

    The events of dispatch, as experienced by Mandy, AKA The Blonde Blazer. Some stuff we see onscreen, some we're only told about, and some stuff I just made up.

    I Love Blonde Blazer so much, and I'm so glad she wasn't some sort of twist villain. I kinda wished she had a bigger role in the plot, and was more central to the story, like Invisigal. So here we are.

    Summary

    A random villain-of-the-week makes Robert late for work. It's only by a few minutes, yet the encounter that hardly lasted a few seconds instills a sudden chill in Robert's bones. Its persistence is matched only by the Z-Team's stubbornness as they force their dispatcher to join them in activities they think will warm him up.

    But none of it matters if Robert can't learn to believe he'll ever be warm again... or that he deserves the warmth this team brings him.

    Summary

    First off, for the record, this whole accident happened because of that bitch Invisislut. It was all her fault. Flambae was simply trying to set one of his many discreet, and completely 𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘱𝘰𝘯𝘴𝘪𝘣𝘭𝘦, fires to gain a few extra points on the leader board (it wasn't because the store owner cheated him out of twelve bucks, fuck you) when she ruined everything.

    So what if he was trying to burn down some shitty store? It wasn't like he was going to kill anyone, but nooooo, Invisigal just had to refuse to do her damn 𝘫𝘰𝘣 and follow Bobberts orders so 𝘩𝘦 had to pick up the slack and get sent to stop some stupid lab from being robbed.

    Thus, leading to him getting a life-threatening virus and winding up here. In quarantine, shoulder-to-shoulder with fucking 𝘙𝘰𝘣𝘦𝘳𝘵 𝘙𝘰𝘣𝘦𝘳𝘵𝘴𝘰𝘯 of all people because of course the only other person he'd spread this virus to was that little fucking bitch.

    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

    Robert Robertson III spent seven years believing the Mecha Man suit was the only extraordinary thing about him-the tech, the mission, the legacy, the perfect hero, the perfect soldier, the perfect legacy bearer for a family that never lived past forty. He patrolled the streets of Los Angeles until his bones ached and his bank account died, clinging to a hero name that cost him everything except the stray dog who refused to leave him. But the cold in his veins was never normal. The frost on his glass, the way he never felt heat, the way fire bent strangely around him. They were inheritance. Old inheritance.

    And the first person to recognize what he is? - Flambae. A pyrokinetic disaster with a wicked grin, a criminal record, and enough fire to melt steel, or warm someone who can’t feel heat at all.

    Robert isn’t looking for a partner. He isn’t looking for a destiny. He definitely isn’t looking for a fire-powered menace who thinks his existential crisis is “kinda cute.” But flame seeks cold, cold seeks flame, and sometimes the person who burns the world down is the only one who can thaw what’s frozen inside you.

    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

    Robert doesn't know who he is outside of the suit. He feels like there's nothing for him to live for after the explosion, and he has a bad habit of carelessly throwing himself into danger, passively hoping he'll kick the bucket. His dog, Beef, is the only thing holding him back from doing the unthinkable.

    When he starts dispatching for the Z-Team, things start to change as he gets closer to them. They see him struggling and decide to help in the ways they can. He finds a family there that he never thought he'd have.

    Meanwhile, Robert is getting especially close to Flambae. He keeps finding himself both dragged and drawn towards him like a moth to flame. He struggles with the guilt of not being able to tell him that he's also Mecha Man while their friendship develops. Oh, and he might be falling for him, too, and that just makes things worse. Can he even hope that things will turn out okay?
