Summary
After Shroud’s fall, Robert Robertson III finds himself given the chance to step back into a world he once belonged to—only to realise just how much of it he had been surviving rather than living.
He knows he can’t keep running on the survival instincts that got him through the last fifteen years. This time, he wants to do things right—even if unlearning some of his old habits turns out to be harder than fighting villains.
As Mecha Man learns how to be a hero without destroying himself in the process, the Z Team watches closely—catching a glimpse of the unspoken, unseen side of heroism that no one ever talks about.
A continuation of Steep Learning Curve

Will he be able to help his dispatcher and manager shape up Z-Team into a true Phoenix team, or will the team's betting pool grow to include him and Robert Robertson (Flambae calls Thursday).

Summary
“We’ll need your psych evaluation.” Blonde Blazer’s tone was light but near the end it quickly became clipped.
Robert, ever the gentleman, put aside the twinkie he was eating—bought from their floor’s vending machine. The taste was even more chemically-packed than usual, but maybe that was just his consciousness playing tricks on him—only to grimace at the unexpected bitter aftertaste.
Guess this one wasn’t supposed to be in the vending machine, nor be eaten.
“Didn’t I give you one already?” Slowly bringing his head up he looked her in the eyes and took another bite.
“From five years ago.” Blazer quickly remarked.
At that Robert only hummed.

Or, Robert Robertson is this tad bit more trauma-fueled and does try his best. Just not in a non self-destructive ways (including the ones shown in the game, y'know).
Or or, because it's always this wretched impostor syndrome that pushes you to care more about others than yourself (and nobody said anything about emotions being so complicated and weird).

Summary
They always say a person can't outrun their past, but Waterboy tried anyway. He's done some bad stuff, some really bad stuff, but all of that was behind him already, hidden inside Blazer’s locked cabinet for no one to see, for no one to judge.
Yet Judgement day arrives, and the one holding a gavel is none other than the Z-Team together with their dispatcher.
…
Robert finds Waterboy's criminal record.
