my body's made of crushed little stars by DaQuirklessBeauty

Summary
Robert has always treated his body like something temporary—maintained just enough to keep going. Then one run-in with a passing villain leaves him younger, unscarred, standing in a body that no longer carries the visible proof of the pain he survived. As the Z-Team watches him move through the world in a way he hasn’t in years, concern sharpens into something heavier. Others begin to notice what Robert himself has long learned to dismiss, and the truth becomes harder to avoid: whatever hit him didn’t just revert him—it revealed how much pain he’d been living with, and how quietly he let it happen. Because if this is who Robert used to be, then the version they’ve known has been surviving far more than he ever admitted.
—
Or: Robert gets caught in the crossfire of a fleeing villain’s power—and wakes up in the body he had at twenty-one.

Summary
The Z Team's love language is insults, Robert's fine with that. Hell he shows his affection like that too.
But sometimes he has bad days and some comments get to him.
After maybe one to many degrading comments and waking up late, Robert stays home for the day.
Flamebae (and The Z Team) stress about the consequences of their actions for once.

Summary
Prism sucks her teeth, eyes rolling behind her visor. “Like you don’t talk mad shit with us,” she says, hand coming up to wipe off the blood on her face. “We’re here ‘cause someone doesn’t know how to be a normal human being.”
“Fuck off, Princess Bubblegum,” Invisigal snaps. “It was a joke. If this fucking meeting wasn’t about ‘sexual harassment’,” she rolls her eyes and makes finger quotes, “it’d be about us being too loud on the radio, or us not being a picture-fucking-perfect hero squad, or us fucking up something on a call.”
Flambae hisses out another burst of sparks. “Don’t roll your fucking eyes,” he says, lip curled into a sneer, “you know full well that was a creepy fucking line, Invisibitch.”
OR: Invisgal makes another comment. Robert hits his limit, and so does the Z-Team.

Summary
The Z-Team didn’t like Robert.
They were villains. They were fuck ups. They each had a giant chip on their shoulders that barely let them stand next to each other on a good day. As soon as his voice first came on the group call, they had to give him shit. If they didn’t start harassing him, the Blonde Boss Lady would have benched them thinking they were being mind controlled.
Every handler thought they could “handle” the Phoenix team. Tame them, make them palatable, water them down. Turn them good. So they didn’t like Robert.
But they did like his voice.

Summary
"Of course we started with the couch," Visi said, "we wouldn't want to stress you out with too big a step from sad stupid plastic chair."
(It takes Robert an embarrassing amount of time to realize the team has been herding him to bed and bed-adjacent surfaces.)
