Summary
Robert Robertson the third wasn't real.
Sure, he looked real. Looked human.
He could speak and touch and do everything a regular normal person could. He wasn't extraordinary, no powers, no impressive physical prowess. He was the definition of an ordinary man.
Except that he was Mecha Man.
Oh, and he wasn't a man at all. He was The Astral Pulse, his father's greatest scientific achievement.
~~~
Or my own take on Astral Pulse Robert au.
A study in autonomy, personhood, humanity, and how having shitty narcissistic parents that see you as nothing but a tool can fuck someone up well into adulthood.
Well let's hope a band of stubborn misfit ex-villains can help with sorting out that last one.
Inspired by JUBE514's astral pulse Robert fic! It's very good so if you like this concept go read theirs!

Summary
"I still have my powers, idiot," he snapped, lobbing a pointer finger Robert's way. "Don't you think for a second that I can't use them any time I want to."
Robert inclined his head in Flambae's direction. "That's the thing, though, isn't it? You need everyone to think that you can't." He side-eyed him soberly. "To think you're someone you're not. And not just for a second—for days. Weeks. Months."
The blinds slithered across the windows, wreathing the room in a dim, smothered light. Flambae narrowed his eyes.
Robert shook his head slowly. "Doesn't take very long for that to get really, really, really old."
____________________________________When an attempt is made on Flambae's life, it's up to Robert to teach him how to be an everyman.

Summary
Flambae once joked that he'd never take a bullet for Robert. But as the old adage goes, never say never. Now Flambae's stuck on medical leave trying to reconnect with family while Robert struggles to contemplate why a man who once despised him chose to save his life.
And why he keeps looking at him the way he does. . . .Comments are appreciated and encouraged! You do not have my permission to use this work for any AI.
