    Summary

    “Yeah yeah, laugh it up, you Twinkie-Licker”

    The amusement on his face caused the corners of his eyes to crinkle, and your heart was attempting to leave you behind in its effort to run across the short space between the two of you.

    He was opening his mouth to reply, probably to return your nickname with a familiar 'Ding-Dong Muncher', when you heard a cough to your right.

    Oh, right

    Not the only two people on this room.

    And this is why we were always separated in the class seating arrangements.

    At least you’re the HR department. You shrug. You don’t have to report yourself. And look at the other familiar face in the room.

    Invisigal

    She still seems caught up on your words though, an actual grin threatening her features as she says, “Twinky-Licker?”

    Or, you and Robert are childhood friends and meet back up when he gets a job at SND, where you're the head (ie. only) employee of the HR department

    Summary

    You're a superhero gifted with the ability to heal any person you touch. Broken bones, cuts, cancer, nothings too much for your powers. Except there's a catch, your powers have another quirk, one that ruins the carefully built reputation you spent so long maintaining. Just to add insult to injury, your best friend of nearly two decades decides to land himself in the hospital, also ruining his reputation in the process. Broke, names in the dirt, and out of options, the two of you are absolutely miserable. That is, until a new opportunity presents itself: work for SDN, and they'll give you everything you could ever want. The cons? Heal a team of supervillains that your friends graciously stuck coaching. Stuck in the crossroads, a new life presents itself to you. But the question is, will you take it, and face the demons that come along with it? Or will you once again bite the hand that feeds?

    Summary

    Months after Mecha Man’s catastrophic fall left Robert in a coma, you had been by his side through every grueling step of recovery. Now, as Robert adjusts to life after losing his mech, you find yourself confronting feelings that go far deeper than friendship. And as the days pass, it becomes more difficult to ignore; as somewhere between nearly losing him and fighting to help him heal—physically and otherwise—“best friend” stopped being enough to describe what Robert means to you.

    But after everything he’s been through, is now really the time? And would he even feel the same way? And even then, are you too late?

    Summary

    “But I’m not human, Robert,” I cross my arms, avoiding his gaze. His burning, warm, caring gaze that I know will break me.

    “I don’t care. Unfortunately for you, I actually like you the way you are,” his strong hands wrap around my shoulders and he leans down to force me to look at him. “Why do you always hide away? What are you so afraid of me seeing?”

    My breath gets caught in my throat. His eyes are so wide, so inviting.

    “Everything.”

    ~~~~

    Stray, another member of the Red Ring gets sent along with Invisigal to infiltrate the Phoenix Program and gain the trust of one Robert Robertson the Third -- more commonly known as Mecha Man.

    But Stray is a complicated villain. She does what she's told without question. She doesn't understand human emotion. She doesn't consider herself human. So what does she do when Robert, a hero she is destined to ruin, treats her like one anyway?

    ~~~~

    A Robert Robertson/Reader fic. Self indulgence at its finest. Sorry guys.
