Summary
Robert has an idea on how to get the Astral Pulse working; redesign the Mecha Man Suit itself from the ground up. Which leads to much contention about whether or not his best idea still qualifies, definitionally, as 'Mecha'. But if anyone gets to actually decide what counts as 'Mecha Man', it ought to be him, right? He just gets the chance to prove his point on that far sooner than he'd thought he would.

Summary
Stood right where Robert Robertson III had been only moments earlier was a small, scraggly… child? A small kid with pale skin, unkempt cropped hair, and an uncomfortably familiar notch missing from his ear. He stared up at them with wide blown-out eyes, flicking between all the adults in front of him.
“Robert? Are you-“
“Who the fuck are you?”
Uh oh.
After Visi accidentally drops a villain's weapon, Robert is transformed back into his ten year old self, both physically and mentally, remembering nothing of his future self. The Z-Team and co. must now deal with a half-feral and deeply traumatised child while they figure out how to get their beloved dispatcher back, and also learning a lot about why he is the way he is.

Summary
Robert Robertson is doing quite well. He has a stable job, wonderful friends, and is working on getting back on the field as Mecha Man. But there was something missing from his life. The girl he failed to mentor into a hero. The girl who only God knows where she went. The girl he misses with his whole heart and soul: Invisigal.
Takes place after the Villian Invisigal ending. Based on "Come Back", "Villian", and "Jealousy" days of #Invisimonth, but will continue past that.
