    Summary

    The first Mecha Man to grace L.A. was titled Mecha Man Prime, being the first in the legacy of non-powered humans to make a difference as a hero. The second Mecha Man named himself Astral and made his debut in L.A. as the leader of a group of heroes.

    Robert was supposed to be the third Mecha Man. His father would have wanted that for him, but disappointing his father isn't new to him anyway.

    In Robert's defense, he had a very valid crash out after his dad was murdered a decade ago. In his morally ambiguous opinion, this leads to his very reasonable agenda of hunting down the man who murdered him. It sucks, because it's a difficult target beloved by the entire damn State.

    L.A.'s third Mecha Man, Elliot Connors.

    (OR: Robert Robertson is L.A.'s worst supervillain, hunting down the newly retired Mecha Man.)

    Summary

As the team starts to get a little too comfortable play-razing their new dispatcher, someone takes a prank too far and gets an uncomfortable snapshot into what superhero PTSD looks like. AKA: Robert gets no shit triggered at the office.

    Summary

    Blonde Blazer feels herself unwind a bit– not in relief, no, but in confusion. The person under the mask is… A man. A young man with striking blue eyes. Eyes that’re weighed down by heavy eyebags, highlighting sunken cheeks and unruly facial and head hair. There’s a chip on his right ear. There are veins crawling up his neck.

    “I’m not asking you to believe me.” His voice is raspy with signs of disuse, Adam’s apple bobbing up and down as if it isn’t used to the movement. “I’m asking you to arrest me.”

    or,

    Mecha Man died in that explosion, suit broken beyond repair and pilot nowhere to be found. A few weeks after that famed explosion, a new villain pops up and terrorizes Los Angeles. The chances of these situations being connected is slim.

    (But not zero.)

    or or,

    villain Robert Robertson because he hasn’t been through enough
