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.)

Summary
When Robert was around 10 years old, his Uncle Elliot gave him a... Gift. An AI lodged into his brain. Powers, technically.
After the coma, he can't really hear his "brain twin", and decides he should probably fix that. Besides, "Oracle" would definitely fit right in with the Z-Team.

Tired of Comparisons, Trying to Learn the Lesson In by Anonymous

Summary
AU where Robert has powers his dad forced him to suppress in his youth. Upon stepping into the role of Mecha Man Blue, Robert runs himself into the ground physically, mentally, and financially to uphold his family’s legacy. It’s what he was born and raised for, after all. He can’t afford to fuck it up. He’s nothing outside of it. His dad was so keen on drilling that into his head.
…with that kind of pressure on him, is it any wonder he starts to act out? It really shouldn’t be surprising that he needs to let off some steam, some charge, so he doesn’t lose his cool doing real hero work. Call him a hypocrite. Call him a supervillain in a hero’s suit. Robert’s long since past the point of caring.
It’s just a shame he’s working so closely with people who know the hallmarks of a real villain a lot better than he would like them to. He’ll have to keep his work and his fun separate, for the team’s sake if nothing else. They mean a lot to him. He genuinely wants to help them succeed in their redemption arcs.
But he has no intention of stopping. Not when he’s finally back in his prime.
Not for anyone.

Summary
Red Hood kept his distance from the Bats. They had something akin to a truce, but they always maintained a healthy level of mutual wariness and animosity. None of them knew him, not in any way that mattered, and he was content keeping things that way.
Unfortunately, secrets had a way of coming to light.

Summary
Flying back to Cherry Street, weaving reckless in the dark, it comes down to this: Dick is the only one of his siblings that Jason has any real claim on. Dick is the only one of that whole mess of victims to Batman's cult of self-immolation who belongs to Jason. Even more than that - Dick is the only person in the world who he shares a parent with, who knows what it meant to be the Robin to Batman of nearly ten years ago.
It's just not the same anymore.
So if Dick fucking kicks it, Jason's the only one left. Jason becomes an only child. Jason becomes the last of his kind. Jason becomes the sole keeper of that memory, of a brotherhood shared under a man who no longer exists. There is no way to replace Dick, because the world that they lived in together is gone, and can never give Jason a surrogate.
The Red Hood pulls the thread on a mystery big enough to bridge the distance between two cities, two brothers: The plot they unravel is far deeper and darker than a garden-variety drug trafficking scheme. A story about siblingship, hauntings, and rivers.
1. Ostium, osti(i): Latin noun, II Declension: Door, opening; (river) mouth; entrance (to the underworld).

Summary
Jason's on the trail of a killer who's targeting kids in Crime Alley for an unknown magical ritual. Between that and his family who insists on butting in, he's got his work cut out for him. But, as they say, nothing is as it seems.
Magic doesn’t come to Gotham.
Which is simplifying it. Because, well, magic isn’t allowed in Gotham, first off. But also, it really doesn’t want to come to Gotham. Of all the things the Bat tries to keep out, magic is the easiest because magic wants to stay as far away from the city as possible. Zatanna called it a “cesspit of untamed ambient magic,” which was being nice even with calling it a cesspit. The last time some asked Constantine about Gotham he just laughed, lit his cigarette, and walked away.

Summary
If there are two things Jason knew for a fact that Batman hated, it's magic and John Constantine. Both were unpredictable and often dredged up chaos whenever they were present. So when Jason runs into Constantine while on his murder training world tour, he realized he could kill two birds with one stone.
Piss off Batman and learn magic to use against him?
He'd be an idiot not to take that opportunity.

Summary
“So,” he said. “Do you want me to get you out of here?”
She hesitated. “But…Overhaul…”
“Is a bitch,” Dabi finished. “I’ll make sure he never lays a hand on you again.” And that admission is what surprised Dabi the most. That he wasn’t lying. That this little girl that he’d known for all of two seconds reminded him so much of his past that he was willing to throw out whatever plan Shigaraki had probably painstakingly put together in order to get her out of here.
-------------------------------------------
aka, When Dabi stumbles across Eri in the yakuza's base, he spontaneously decides to add kidnapping to his rap sheet in order to get her away from Overhaul. The pair disappear into the city, with not only the Shie Hassaikai on their trail, but a furious Shigaraki and the heroes assigned to Eri's case hunting for them as well. And Dabi doesn't know what to do when his big brother instincts flare back to life, deciding he would do anything to protect Eri.- Language:

Summary
Shouta Aizawa despaired. It was just supposed to be the Annual Hero Gala. He did not sign up for a vengeful pigeon to show up and grandstand as a whistleblower to tear Hero Society down in one fell swoop. And then leave him to clean up the mess.
He also did not sign up to supervise all these children. Shut up Hizashi, he did not, they're not his.... he lied they're his now, including the pigeon and his crispy boyfriend.
Guess it's not too bad. He's been wanting to destroy the HPSC for years and Hawks had done just that very, very thoroughly.
