    Summary

    Several months after Invisigal disappeared with Shroud's mask, Robert is falling apart. He can't taste, can't feel, can't stop his off-the-books investigation into underground surgeons removing failed Red Ring implants. Every back-alley beating, every late-night break-in is just him chasing pain to cut through the numbness. To feel alive again.

    The Z team are starting to notice, and they have their own plans to help Robert.

    Flambae's got an alternative therapy in mind. The kind that doesn't end with Robert bleeding out behind a club. The kind that involves heat, control, and getting his dispatcher out of his system once and for all.

    A story about choosing to live and finding heat in all the wrong (right) places.

    Summary

    ALERT!
    HERO OUTSIDE COVERAGE AREA

    Robert slides over to his keyboard, clicking around to pull up the tracker information – it’s somewhere called Pride Rock, which looks to be some kind of nightclub. It’s probably Visi again, gunning for company in her own emotionally stunted way. “A Lion King reference, in this day and age?” is on the tip of Robert’s tongue as he puts on his headset, when –

    “Mmh, fuck, just like that – ah –”

    “Shit, you’re so fucking hot –”

    “I – fuck – I know, pretty boy – mmh –”

    Robert rips the headset off, and stares at it in growing horror, all air unceremoniously leaving his lungs.

    *** OR ***

    In the aftermath of their ill-advised hookup, Robert's been trying to keep things professional, really. Flambae baits him back into his orbit anyway. It doesn't count if it's over comms, right?

    (You don't HAVE to read the previous fic to enjoy this one, the context is pretty much explained anyway. Or you could. I can't stop you.)

    Summary

    After Phenomaman's depressive episode left Flambae's car a nearly flattened wreck, he spent weeks flying to work while he waited for it to be completely repaired. He knew it would take long, but by the time his gorgeous ride was restored to her former beauty, he’d A) become a hero, B) helped save Torrance from the Shroudpocalypse, and C) started dating his dispatcher who happened to be the guy that both ruined his life and saved it.

    And now here they were in a 24-hour self serve car wash in the middle of the night–him, his hot boyfriend, and his hot car. What else was there to do other than fuck the hottie on the hottie?

    Summary

    Invisigal accidentally outs Robert as Mechaman in what she thinks is a private conversation with Blonde Blazer, not realizing that Flambae is close enough to overhear her.

    Struggling to control his horrible temper, Chad goes to the gym to blow off steam and think…where he finds Robert trapped under the weights.

    *

    Breathe. Count to ten. You’re not a villain anymore…you’re a good man, and you can do good things.

    “Ask me to stop,” Chad breathed, the muscles of his arms quivering under the powerful desire to end Mechaman right there in the headquarters. He needed something else, someone else to step in, but they were completely alone. Even the janitors had gone home. “No, beg me to stop.”
