Summary
“I know I’ve said it a lot, but thanks again for agreeing to come back.”
Chris looks up from her intake paperwork and smiles wryly at the superhero in front of her: her partner, her nemesis, her best friend since childhood, and now, her boss. “Beebz, I’ve been chomping at the bit to get back on the Flaming Chicken Squad since I left. If anyone should be giving thanks, I should be thanking you for repping me as hard as you did to corporate so I could come back.”____
Chris Stamides-Maxwell didn't think she'd ever get to return to the Phoenix Program after her career ending injury on the team. With the Z Team having run off every other dispatcher in the Torrance branch of SDN, Blazer invites Chris back to be a temporary dispatcher while they find someone who can fill corporate's demanding requirements for the position. Enter Robert Robertson -- but will they both be enough to save the program now that Shroud is slowly taking over the Torrance area?

just some dispatch stories and oneshots (with a focus on Robert Robertson the III) by ViviCatLover
Fandom Dispatch (Video Game)
30 Jan 2026
Summary
Some members of the cast grabbed me by the throat, okay. Robert’s everyman swag got to me.
That and the fact he's like if Comic Spider-Man, Iron Man, and Batman were thrown together and then promptly got their asses kicked into the Worm universe with no goddamn money. And I got a couple ideas.
If the ideas seem weird, sue me. I'm used to being in fandoms left without new content for so long we've started growing a mold culture. Each work should be considered as unrelated to each other, unless I make clear it's otherwise.

Summary
Invisigal accidentally outs Robert as Mechaman in what she thinks is a private conversation with Blonde Blazer, not realizing that Flambae is close enough to overhear her.
Struggling to control his horrible temper, Chad goes to the gym to blow off steam and think…where he finds Robert trapped under the weights.
*
Breathe. Count to ten. You’re not a villain anymore…you’re a good man, and you can do good things.
“Ask me to stop,” Chad breathed, the muscles of his arms quivering under the powerful desire to end Mechaman right there in the headquarters. He needed something else, someone else to step in, but they were completely alone. Even the janitors had gone home. “No, beg me to stop.”
