Summary
After taking down Shroud alongside his unlikely team of misfits, Robert Robertson III—Mecha Man—finds himself at a crossroads he can no longer ignore.
With Shroud behind bars, a team to manage, and a city slowly stitching itself back together, he is left with something unfamiliar: space to think. And in that space, he becomes aware of things he used to push aside—things he never had the capacity, or the willingness, to look at before.
That being said, fifteen years of survival instincts, quiet self-destruction, and compulsive overwork have carved habits into him deeper than scars.But for the first time in years, he’s willing to try doing things differently.

Summary
AU where Robert has powers his dad forced him to suppress in his youth. Upon stepping into the role of Mecha Man Blue, Robert runs himself into the ground physically, mentally, and financially to uphold his family’s legacy. It’s what he was born and raised for, after all. He can’t afford to fuck it up. He’s nothing outside of it. His dad was so keen on drilling that into his head.
…with that kind of pressure on him, is it any wonder he starts to act out? It really shouldn’t be surprising that he needs to let off some steam, some charge, so he doesn’t lose his cool doing real hero work. Call him a hypocrite. Call him a supervillain in a hero’s suit. Robert’s long since past the point of caring.
It’s just a shame he’s working so closely with people who know the hallmarks of a real villain a lot better than he would like them to. He’ll have to keep his work and his fun separate, for the team’s sake if nothing else. They mean a lot to him. He genuinely wants to help them succeed in their redemption arcs.
But he has no intention of stopping. Not when he’s finally back in his prime.
Not for anyone.

Summary
What Robert found himself doing in his downtime on an off-day involved walking Beef or drowning in team logistics... which goes to show what often wins when the latest leaderboards put the Z-team within SDN's top 25 dispatch teams amongst its branches.

Summary
So people like me? The average Joe whose granddad wasn’t exposed to experimental radiation or fell into a toxic river, or was born under the star or Orias or something? We’re the soap bubbles. The thin paper people who still get torn, punctured, burned, and broken when not handled with care.
It sucks. But that’s also true of life. So it's not a huge deal.
It just means you have to be smart.
I'm Robert Robertson the Third, and I'm Mecha Man.
