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.

Summary
The exigencies of Flambae's ego were long sated. His career offered challenge and reward in equal measure; sufficient eustress kept him sharp. His teammates, now something of an extended family, furnished the once-desolate corners of his social life with their gutsy effervescence.
What, then, was so amiss?
━━━
In which Flambae makes peace with a grueling assortment of humiliations – love, sincerity, human vulnerability, and the like.

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.

Robert’s eyes suddenly fill with determination, as his dizzy brain communicates to him that this is literally the quickest twenty dollars ever.
“Easy.”
