    Summary

    When the front desk had triggered the lockdown and called to say Mecha Man was in the SDN lobby with the Astral Pulse in hand, turning himself in, this wasn’t exactly what she expected. Mecha Man was supposed to be menacing. He was supposed to be feared, intimidating, imposing, a force to be reckoned with both in and out of the suit. Someone you looked at and thought, damn. Now that’s a villain.

    When Blazer got to the lobby, all she could think was, damn. That’s just a kid.

    The same thought returned to her now, watching the shallow rise and fall of Robert’s chest as he slept in the too-big hospital bed. Around either wrist, thick restraints pinned his arms down to the metal frame of the cot. Under the blanket that was draped over his legs, she knew the same restraints were fixed at his ankles, too.

    “Feels like overkill,” she muttered, shaking her head again. Chase huffed a laugh, hunching further in on himself.

    “It’s not. Kid’s a scrappy motherfucker, always has been,” he said.

    Or, a villain Robert Robertson AU - featuring a hint of "brainwashed child soldier" and a whole lot of secrets.

    Summary

    To call Robert's new situation with Flambae ‘complicated’ would be a drastic understatement.

    Robert cut his fucking fingers off. Flambae tried to burn him to death after a bar fight. They aren’t good for each other, barely even like each other, and there’s no way it’s going to end well.

    But when the sex is this fucking good, Robert is having trouble listening to the logic.

    Or, the one where they become fuckbuddies and catch feelings.

    (Everyone pretend to be shocked.)

    Summary

    Robert fills up the glass he's been trying to remove a questionable stain from and empties it in a fluid movement over his shoulder, enjoying the indignant squawk it produces before all noise ceases. Blessed silence.

    "You gotta stop doing this near the sources of water," Robert comments lazily, turning around to lean back against the sink. He smirks at the sight of Flambae. Dripping wet, and eyes wild. Pathetic.

    "Just you wait until I set you on fire in your sleep," Flambae says through gritted teeth, fingers twitching as if he's trying to summon his fire despite the water impairing him.

    "Bringing kinky shit into the bedroom already?" Robert quips. He crosses his arms, not cowed in the slightest by the other's larger frame.

     

    or; Flambae's apartment is destroyed during the attack. He forces his way into staying at Robert's instead.

    Summary

    “Stop being a fucking idiot normie and work out properly.”

    “I do. This,” He gestures vaguely at himself, “is entirely different.”

    “How?” Flambae seems almost incredulous that Robert could possibly be hurt outside of his overconfidence in the gym.

    “It’s always there, it just flares up every few days. I can manage it.”

    Flambae puts his food down, the lightest trail of steam rising from it. “So, chronic.”

    “Sure.” Robert deadpans. “Considering the shitshow that is my life, I wouldn’t put it past me.”

    “And, what, you’re doing nothing about it?” Flambae presses with a glare, and Robert raises an eyebrow at his tone. Is that. . concern? Huh.

    ~~~

    Robert's chronic pain is flaring up more often as the weather starts getting cooler. While juggling weeks mixed with dispatching and field work, now that he's Mecha Man again, it's proving to be pretty difficult to ignore.

    However, a certain flaming asshole starts taking notice. His favors start to make Robert realize something and also force the two of them to confront the history that haunts them both before whatever this is starts to become an option.
