    Summary

    Robert Robertson has nothing left but two secrets when his suit is blown sky high.

    1. He was Mecha Man. Emphasis on ‘was.’

    2. He is an unregistered guide. A powerful one.

    And those are unfortunately secrets that are kept by only himself, his childhood babysitter who he doesn’t even talk to anymore, and his father’s killer.

    Summary

    Robert Robertson should have died years ago. He’s a powerless superhero who’s been beaten, blown up, and on the wrong side of the edge of disaster more times than he can count.

    After he becomes a dispatcher, Z-team notices the strange way Robert seems to survive almost anything and comes to a conclusion.

    Robert Robertson might not be so powerless after all.

    Summary

    A month on from the Red Ring's massive operation, things in Torrance have quieted down significantly—to the point that Flambae's standing commitment to release his hatred for Robert "once a month or so" completely slips Robert's mind.

    He's been putting off clearing the air between them for a while now, so that's probably on him. At least now they have a chance to talk.

    ... And maybe they can work out an alternative method for Flambae to vent his anger toward Mecha Man.

    Summary

    "Robbie" Robertson the Second used to lay awake at night, asking every star in the sky for his son be born with some ability, something supernatural that can make the inevitable pain and sacrifice of heroism something easier to live with. Something that can protect his family better than the suit that protected him. It was only natural to ask for an easier path for your kids, even if you know they will be condemned to the life you're able to provide them.

    When he got his wish, and Robert discovered he was supernatural, he took it all back.

    --

    Robert has superpowers au! I think I've thought of something pretty interesting to share. The catch? This is a mystery. You get to figure out what I've given this poor, tortured man as I send hints your way within each chapter.

    Summary

    “Excuse me?”
    A hush fell over the bar as everyone stared at the teen who stood in the doorway. He was scratching the back of his neck as though embarrassed by the attention.
    “Can someone call 911?”
    The Z-Team stared as a familiar face, now years younger gave a lopsided grin baring bloodied teeth.
    “Don’t worry, it’s not for me.”
    Like a switch, life bursts back into the bar, and Robert Robertson stood in the middle of it with his bruised body and clipped ear. Robert Robertson who somehow, was now a child.

    (De-aging fic where Robert’s aged back to around when he was a year into being Mecha Man)

    Summary

    "It was almost inconsequential in the general gist of things. Robert would not have given it a second thought if not for the weird tension that sprouted after, and the fact that his team made a bigger deal than it had to be. It was not like he was actually hurt, not really, the fingers were not even broken. Probably. It was fractured at most, in his personal opinion. "

     

    Or

    The team slowly figuring out Robert's insanely high pain tolerance and progressively getting more worried about it.

    Summary

    Once Robert establishes enough rapport with his Z-team to integrate "positive reinforcement tactics" without getting ruthlessly mocked, he makes the extra step to come up with a reward system they'll actually be interested in. A little gambling-adjacent with guaranteed wins of information. That this takes the form of a stupid spinning wheel they can only spin by performing prosocial actions, with strict spinning limits, is hilariously unimportant.

    Never in Robert's wildest dreams would he have imagined this would evolve into the modem through which the team all fuck their way up into becoming actual friends, but honestly, he should've seen it coming. Everything about this job and this team had blown his expectations to the fucking stratosphere.

    Now if only they could keep Robert out of it, he wouldn't be so spooked.

    .

    OR: the series of unfortunate events through which a Robert who calls his depression seasonal because it hits different during each one accidentally cons himself into being known and truly loved by his friends ever-reliable team and coworkers.

    Robert hadn’t expected for anyone to actually bid on a date with him during a SDN hosted bachelor auction. He had only agreed to it because the money was for charity. Yet someone did decide he was worth the money and now he had a blind date. What could possibly go wrong?

    Summary

    Malevola honestly expected this to be a prank, or kids fucking around, or fucking Red Ring. Nothing that should warrant both of them taking their time out of a Saturday night trespassing condemned buildings and generally violating the terms of Victor's parole.
    What she doesn't expect is an honest bonafide ghost. The ghost of a guy maybe around her age, with a black mask over his head and a lightly armored supersuit-- the back completely scorched away, and Mecha Man's fucking symbol on his chest.
    Or
    Z-Team gets rallied around Robert in a much different way, because someone has already killed Mecha Man Blue.
    And someone else is trying to cover it up.
