Summary
Chase's heart practically fell out of his ass when he saw Mecha Man Blue explode and fall out of the sky four months ago. He had been tempted to run his ass all the way over there to save the poor kid when he saw it on TV.
He feels the same way when Mandy tells him Robert's stable and awake.
It makes him think about everything he's done for Robert and his family. He could've done more. Tried harder. Been there more. Been there quicker.
If only Robert didn't get his stubbornness from his dad, then maybe he could've been there for him and prevented him from pulling that dumb shit. Maybe he could be there for him now instead. He fucking hopes so.

Summary
A week. It's been a week since he had gotten the call that it was officially his turn to take up the mantle of Mecha Man, and yet Robert hasn't found the urge to do anything about it just yet outside of attending the only funeral he was allowed to go to.
He does his best to pretend the first time he gets into the suit is anything but horrifyingly emotional for him, just like he has been over the entire week.

Summary
Herm would like to think he's taken to dispatching very well— or, at least, as well as he could, given the Z-Team seems hellbent on interrupting his stuttering and disobeying his orders. It's no matter, though, since he has more worries that are slightly more pressing.
Like how one of his idols that had gotten him into wanting to do superhero work in the first place, Mecha Man, joined the Z-team today.
He doesn't have the time or energy to properly fanboy-out over that, though, especially since it seems like his duty as a role-model for the Z-team seems to kick in earlier than Herm expected. Mecha Man doesn't think he's fit for superhero work again, especially in a team setting, even after SDN has helped repair his suit. Hopefully Herman's able to convince him otherwise.

Or, the reverse of Robert comforting Waterboy after his first shift.

Summary
Robert, Chad, and Herman were all varying degrees of too wired to fall asleep by the time they all settle down for bed. While Robert was content to just scroll on his phone until he couldn't keep his eyes open, Chad— and subsequently, Herm— get an idea that's a bit more involved. They had extended the invitation to join to Robert, but he didn't think he had the energy to participate.
To the surprise of his boyfriends, Robert does end up involved— granted, in a relatively small way, but it drives the both of them crazy.
