Summary
Shroud didn't start his life wanting to be a villain. Elliot Connors always dreamed of being a hero.
But hero work isn't as simple as just saving the day and enjoying the parade after. There is pain. There is terror. There are sacrifices.
The greater good eats you alive piece by piece, until there's nothing left of the person you were - only the parts of you too vicious to die.

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
"Don't do it, Chell! She'll kill you!"
"Yes, I will."After I read Cake and Lies (great story by the way), I almost immediately thought of something like this scene happening. It's partway through Chapter 11. The way GLaDOS was calling Chell cara mia...after all, in this story Chell is also a Central Core level AI. She should therefore be able to think/process just as incredibly fast as GLaDOS can, so even in the second or two between her letting GLaDOS into her network and her deletion, they could totally have had a sweet private moment that Wheatley sure didn't deserve to see and would probably never understand anyway.
Also, my first ever oneshot!

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 opinion, this leads to his very reasonable agenda of hunting down the man who murdered him. It sucks, because it's his target is beloved by the entire damn State.
L.A.'s third Mecha Man, Elliot Connors.
(OR: Robert Robertson is L.A.'s most wanted supervillain, hunting down the newly retired Mecha Man one dispatch call at a time.)
