    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

    In which we explore some of the off-screen time between game scenes. Team bonding, dispatching, character studies, and various donuts eaten while on the job. Focus is mostly platonic and team-dynamics because I really really want more screen time with the other members of Z-Team... but I am also an action and angst writer, so buckle up. Not ACTUALLY writing a non-romantic Robert so much as Robert who is too fucking exhausted to do anything about, like, dating in Season 1? Something like that. The one-sided crushes go fucking HARD tho.

    Summary

    They've grown accustomed to not having any backup - nobody really wanted to stick their neck out for some ex-villains. In a way, it helped them rely on each other more.

    Summary

    Robert Robertson is a man who puts himself in situations where powers would be pretty useful.
    But he doesn't have them. What he does have is a mortal body made of breakable bones, cuttable skin, bruisable flesh, and other generally damageable stuff.
    Maybe, at some point, he'll realize that he's got his limits. The way things are going, it's likely that the Z-team will identify them all before he does.


    “Hey Golem,” Invisigal called out. “What were you listening to while you were outside?”
    Golem turned away from him to go join up with her, and Robert followed-- or he intended to. Something went wrong when he took a step to the side. He felt his body swaying.
    “Woah.” Robert caught himself on the bench, next to Prism.
    “Watch it,” said Prism. “The bar fight’s over, boy. Don’t go knocking yourself out now.”
    Robert laughed under his breath. “Yeah, that would be stupid, huh.”
