Summary
Robert is keeping two secrets from his team.
1. He actually enjoys their company (mostly).
2. He doesn't need the subtitles to understand the K-Drama they just forced him to watch.
A two-part story about a heritage erased, a team that misses the obvious, and the inevitable moment the truth comes out.
——————
A/N: This is based on the fact from one of the developers that Robert was originally intended to be half-Korean in early development, but the concept got scrapped because of similarities to Mark Grayson from Invincible. We were ROBBED.

Summary

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
"Hap-p-p-py Ann-anniversary " He stuttered out, Alice had been working on his stutter with him for a length of their relationship and he'd been markedly improving, but in moments of high stress and anxiety, like right now, it'd turn it's ugly head.
"Wet wipe boy?" a voice that was clearly not Alice's spoke, actually, he knew that voice quite well, he raised his eyeline up toward the door, and his cheeks flushed. Chad, in full rave getup, A mesh top and orange cheek glitter, was standing in the doorway. The pyromaniac's face split into a sly grin. "Ohhhhh, Is someone getting an anniversary gift?" His eyebrows wiggled.

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
Robert and Flambae have an interesting relationship. They aren't friends, aren't enemies (anymore) but not normal co-workers. They fight, they flirt, and there's trust between them but nothing beyond that. But then one night after their shift's end, Flambae invites Robert out to dinner with him and his niece. She's a fan of Mecha-Man so Robert accepts only for her, obviously. It isn't for Flambae, or HR would have his throat.
Or is it?
Maybe, just maybe, does a little girl bring them together.

Summary
The man was in a suit that almost reminded Robert of something from Cirque du Soleil, all skin-tight, shimmering fabric with bursts of red and orange and a V-neck that showed a lot more than neck. The wrap-around sunglasses didn’t even look that ridiculous.
Infuriatingly, he managed to be beautiful, like a Monet in an Ikea frame is beautiful. He had changed very little in the years since Robert first encountered him, at least physically. Robert couldn’t say the same.

Some of the missing time between Robert going down in the villain bar and Blonde Blazer coming through that door. Shroud gives the Red Ring crew ten minutes to do what they want with Mecha Man before the real interrogation starts. It gets pretty fucking ugly. AKA: Shooting Robert's dad really never was enough for Elliot Connors. Not really.

Really cool character study of Coupé. I don't think she gets enough love in the fandom even though she is arguably the most interesting member of the Z-Team.
Loved it!

Summary
Z-Team is paired with X-Team for a joint operation to track down and bust a child smuggling operation spanning across their bordered districts.
Z-Team may be ex-criminals, but everyone can agree a pedophile is a waste of a cell room and is much better off rotting six feet under.
How Robert Robertson can look at the perps marched through their doors with indifference is what rubs Z-Team the wrong way.

Summary
Robert fills up the glass he's been trying to remove a questionable stain from and empties it in a fluid movement over his shoulder, enjoying the indignant squawk it produces before all noise ceases. Blessed silence.
"You gotta stop doing this near the sources of water," Robert comments lazily, turning around to lean back against the sink. He smirks at the sight of Flambae. Dripping wet, and eyes wild. Pathetic.
"Just you wait until I set you on fire in your sleep," Flambae says through gritted teeth, fingers twitching as if he's trying to summon his fire despite the water impairing him.
"Bringing kinky shit into the bedroom already?" Robert quips. He crosses his arms, not cowed in the slightest by the other's larger frame.
or; Flambae's apartment is destroyed during the attack. He forces his way into staying at Robert's instead.

Summary
”…..Visi, you may wanna move back a bit.”
Flambae suddenly comments casually, gaining a confused noise from the woman sitting beside him.
”He looks like he’s about five seconds from puking.”
”What the hell do you—-”
Needless to say, that sick feeling was not just his nerves spiraling as Robert collapses to the ground, throwing up whatever he’d managed to eat from his meal, and probably whatever was left from the drinks and the ramen cup from earlier today.
”Ew, what the hell Robert?! You clearly aren’t fine!”
Visi sounds a little panicked now and he could feel couple others check on him too, with Malevola offering him a napkin to wipe his face. Punch Up was crouched beside him - perhaps not necessary with how short he was but anyway - asking if he needed to go to a hospital or something.
”Bitch got a concussion, don’t need a doctor to spell out the obvious.”
-----------
The one where Robert feels too guilty over his fight with Flambae to admit he is Mecha Man, then things get complicated when he catches Feelings/Flambae starts to act as his totally-not-a-bf-caretaker. Robert POV first, then Chad for the final 2 flashing through the fic in his POV.Series

Summary
“One of these days I’m gonna burn that smug fucking look right off your face.”
Robert could reply with snark, a well-timed retort. He had it loaded.
Instead, he stares.
Like the way you're supposed to stare at the sun when it hates you, and you love it anyway.
“God, you're beautiful.”
Flambae arched a brow. “Yeah? I fucking know. Mirrors exist. But thanks.”
Or,
Robert is in love with SDN’s resident flaming asshole.
Unfortunately, the flaming asshole is the only one who doesn't know.
