Summary
Los Angeles has been saved from a vicious Red Ring attack!
SDN Torrance in general and the Z-Team in particular are acclaimed heroes!
Mecha Man is back, having defeated the monstrous Shroud and locked him away for good!
Chase has fully recovered thanks to retrofitted Red Ring tech, and Blonde Blazer is back as well!
Coupé has been forgiven, and is on her way to make things right with her friends and teammates!
And the fully-redeemed Invisigal is free from the hospital with functioning lung augments thanks to Royd!
But despite all of that, Robert Robertson III is struggling with uncertainties. He can't decide between his affections to both Mandy and Courtney, and he doesn't know how he can balance his time as both a superhero and as a dispatcher/mentor for the Z-Team. As a long-term antisocial workaholic, Robert just feels intense choice paralysis between his personal and professional options.
Following an extremely harrowing encounter out in the field, an unexpected resolution to his quandaries seems to have presented itself. Can this new reality actually be maintained without it becoming insanely awkward for everyone involved?

Summary
“They put a normie in charge of a buncha of villains!?"
Why are they circling back on the villain topic? Whatever, Robert can roll with this.
“Oh yeah, so that means to get to know me, you either have to defeat my eight evil teammates,” Robert pauses, to make it seem like he is thinking, “or… you can buy–”
“I’ll do it!” ArrowRoot interrupts.
“– me a drink– what?” Robert freezes in his tracks.
ArrowRoot puffs his chest out like a peacock. Maybe a bull would be a better analogy for the guy. “Those assholes? I could totally take them on for you.”
What the fuck.
=====
Getting free drinks ends up more of a hassle than intended when a newbie hero seems to get it in his head that Robert is some ‘damsel-in-distress.’ Now Robert has to deal with some guy harassing his team, all while managing said team.
The Z-Team isn’t exactly making it easier either.
This is going to be a very long week.
(Or the one where some guy tries to defeat Robert’s seven- uh, eight evil
exsco-workers.)(NOT AN OC x CANON!)

Summary
“Shit, shit--” Your voice sounds tinny to your ears, choked up with dust and magic and maybe blood. You’ll worry about any injuries later, after you survive the impact surely coming in the next few seconds. How high up did you fly before the spell went off? You hope it was high enough to give you time; you pray it was low enough that you survive the fall. You work every bit of artificer trickery and magic that you can think of. You need to activate the Pulse again, to connect back with the suit. Are you above the forest? The cliffs? Or will you fall into the dark and roiling sea and sink? What will kill you first, Mecha Knight?
---
The Mecha Knight has fallen in battle. The Astral Pulse is lost. Rescued from the wreckage by Sir Blazer, the Sun Knight, Robert embarks on a long and difficult journey to recover it. She will not let him go alone.

Summary
In the aftermath of Shroud's defeat, Robert begins to wonder what comes next for him now as he realizes that he has never truly lived for himself. He couldn't really plan out his future as a kid, and he was still a teenager when he became the next Mecha-Man.
Now he had a life to live and he had absolutely no idea of what to do or where to start. Good thing for him that he wasn't alone in facing this new challenge.
Having passed off her amulet to Chase during the battle against Shroud, Mandy would be Blonde Blazer no more for the foreseeable future. As much as she loved her powers and helping out as many people as she could, the last few years had started to feel like a corporate owned gilded cage that kept the real Mandy locked away while Blazer was the famous superhero everyone wanted to see.
While Mandy was aware that readjusting to a normal life would come with its trials, she welcomed the chance to step away from the spotlight for now.
At least with a certain dispatcher at her side, hand-in-hand, they could figure out how to live the normie lifestyle without coming off as complete dorks (They are both dorks).

Summary
It was easy for both of them to put on a mask, to pretend how everything was fine.
Pretended that Robert didn’t notice how her legs was squeezing just a bit closer today...
Pretended that Mandy didn’t notice how his thumbs paused over the screen for a second too long as he was no longer paying attention to his phone...Bookmarked by blueben99

Summary
“I like it,” she said. “Just existing. With you.”
It was only for a moment, but she caught something stirring behind his eyes. Then he smiled, and for the first time that night, it seemed genuine. He drew her close, resting his cheek on her temple. She closed her eyes, savoring his warmth. Behind them, the shadow of their embrace played across the sand.

Summary
When Mandy yawned, Robert turned his head slightly, watching her out of the corner of his eye, exhaustion lingering in his expression. Despite the painful effort it took to speak with the definitely broken ribs, he asked, “Could I walk you home?”
Mandy looked Robert up and down, and then actually laughed at that, her eyes crinkling up around the edges, blue eyes reflecting the sunlight. Robert felt his heart tighten, although it wasn’t out of shame or embarrassment. She wasn’t laughing at him.
“How about I walk you home?” Mandy offered instead, rolling her shoulders back in a half shrug. Her lips were still pulled into a soft smile. “I think you need it more than I do.”

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.

Summary
A few months after Shroud's downfall, the SDN office is rebuilt. And with Halloween coming up, what better way to celebrate than with a costume party? Even though everyone normally wears costumes to work anyway?
With his suit in need of repairs and upgrades, Robert returns to his dispatching desk. Mandy wants to share her secrets with him, but worries how he'll react so early in their relationship. Flambae rewrites another '90s pop song and probably needs a new car insurance policy. Malevola somehow turns green. Sonar's hopes of getting paid to goof off are quickly dashed. Coupe tries to fit in again after being let go and brought back. Phenomaman is... well, Phenomaman. And Invisigal might not actually be as over it as she thought she was.
Meanwhile the Red Ring, still licking their wounds after their defeat, would like to plot... something. If only they could just get their act together.

Summary
Robert Robertson III had been conditioned his whole life to believe that as a non-powered hero, he was nothing without his enormous Mecha Man suit. His father and grandfather before him had shown him as much. Machinery was always outside, and he, safely encased within the heart of his suit. Powerful, protected, perfect. A paragon.
But after the bar fight, after the Mecha Man suit is irreparably damaged, and after he's been broken beyond belief, he's forced to rethink the brand.
His grandfather and father probably thought he was a disappointment, but they didn't bring him up to be a saint.
How're you gonna protect the people you love if you don't get your hands a biiiit dirty, right?
