    Summary

    It’s been 4 years since the world lost the Mecha Man.

    It’s also been 4 years since a 12-year-old boy named Robert Robertson went missing from his home without a trace.

    With the loss of Mecha Man and no one to succeed him, it’s getting harder and harder to hold onto hope. That changes when Robert is found during a Red Ring base bust, and now he, Chase, and the Z-Team must learn to navigate their new normal.

    But Shroud still runs free, and he doesn’t take kindly to anyone taking what’s his.

    Summary

    Robert Robertson has, spontaneously, become ten years old.

     

    “What’s not legal? Employing a man? Ask him why he can’t drive his own damn self back from the station!”

    “Well, he’s ten, sir. Ten year olds aren’t allowed to work.” There was a long pause, then an unsubtle cough. “Or drive.”

    Hands on her hips, Blazer slammed to a halt, face expectant. Chase silently counted down from ten in his head, then took a long, calming breath.

    “Let me get this straight. Robert Robertson is at your police station, and he is visibly ten years old?”

    Blazer startled, anger evaporating in a blink.

    Summary

    But Elliot made a crucial mistake, he may have killed his dad, but he did not kill Mecha Man.

    Because the Mecha Man Armor was sitting in his dad’s garage right now, absent of a pilot to put it to use. People may be mourning that Mecha Man is dead, but they are also expecting a new Mecha Man to appear.

    And this mantle falls to him to pick up.

    When Elliot Connors shot Robbie Robertson, Robert was only 11 years old. Instead of going to therapy or continuing schooling. Robert dedicates himself to becoming Mecha Man in his father’s absence. This leads to a 15 year old Robert being the Mecha Man that the SDN and Team Z will have the misfortune of dealing with.

    Summary

    When the front desk had triggered the lockdown and called to say Mecha Man was in the SDN lobby with the Astral Pulse in hand, turning himself in, this wasn’t exactly what she expected. Mecha Man was supposed to be menacing. He was supposed to be feared, intimidating, imposing, a force to be reckoned with both in and out of the suit. Someone you looked at and thought, damn. Now that’s a villain.

    When Blazer got to the lobby, all she could think was, damn. That’s just a kid.

    The same thought returned to her now, watching the shallow rise and fall of Robert’s chest as he slept in the too-big hospital bed. Around either wrist, thick restraints pinned his arms down to the metal frame of the cot. Under the blanket that was draped over his legs, she knew the same restraints were fixed at his ankles, too.

    “Feels like overkill,” she muttered, shaking her head again. Chase huffed a laugh, hunching further in on himself.

    “It’s not. Kid’s a scrappy motherfucker, always has been,” he said.

    ---

    Or, a villain Robert Robertson AU - featuring a hint of "brainwashed child soldier" and a whole lot of secrets.
