    Summary

    The air to Robert’s left grows warm, then hot—a concentrated sunlight that finally forces him to glance up. 

    Flambae’s hovering over the catwalk now, still nothing but a silhouette of fire. No trace of flesh. No trace of bones. Even his eyes are consumed by flames, leading Robert to wonder about the reliability of the man’s vision. He is a floating fiery ghoul, by all accounts. 

    One who may or may not be able to see. 

    Even so, the sight is formidable. He’d be impressed—seeing the effect up close like this is different than seeing it through the Mecha Man suit—but the image of the man slipping on a puddle and breaking his tooth on the bar makes it difficult to be anything but vaguely amused.

    “If you’re gonna throw me off, could you at least do it in your other form?” Robert asks listlessly. “I’d like to die without third-degree burns, if at all possible.”

    Summary

    Thirteen seconds.

    Thirteen seconds of anger. Thirteen seconds of hurt. Thirteen seconds of fire because Chad is fire. And fire is unpredictable, hard to contain, and it usually does not care about what it burns. Thirteen seconds later, the world has been altered and shifted off its axis forever. Because Robert was standing in the fire with him this time.

    This has always been a story of redemption and second chances. Of breaking the curse of potential. But when somebody pulls a trigger, the bullet can’t go back in the gun. Right?
     

     

    ———

    Flambae’s fire attack actually hits Robert after he reveals his identity, nearly killing him on the spot. Six months later, Robert will risk what’s left of him to offer him his last chance at redemption. If not him, who else would?

    Summary

    "Just one hint," Malevola pleaded. Prism leaned against her chair, eyeing Robert expectantly.

    Robert stared at them briefly, deliberating over his response. He settled on honesty. They wouldn't believe him, and they wouldn't be able to link it to his identity as Mecha Man anyway.

    "Sure. I can't die."

    Prism sighed in frustration. "Oh come on! Don't be like that."

    Summary

    “I’m making negative five thousand dollars each month?” Robert’s mouth fell open and he wasn’t sure he could afford to close it. 

    Sonar just nodded. “Sure are. Your credit card debt has credit card debt. I’m honestly shocked your credit score isn’t six.” 

    “So I’m just poor? That’s it?” 

    “Sucks to suck dude.” Sonar stood up, stretching as he yawned. “Bet you wish you’d sealed the deal with Blonde Blazer now, huh?” 

    “I’m not hot enough to fuck my way into triple my salary and a new suit.”

    Summary

    Jayce licks his lips. “You really stopped me without thinking about what we’d— You know…”

    “Yes, well,” says Viktor. “I figured I’d leave that up to you.”

    “What? Why is it up to me?”

    “It’s your erection,” which sounds very fair.
