    Summary

    No one expected to think anything more of their newest dispatcher, but one by one they fall into his orbit, suddenly understanding Invisigal's obsession with the guy in their own ways.

    [or: in which everyone on the Z-Team feels some sorta way for Robert Robertson, and it was fun for everyone to flirt with him until Phenomaman tells Robert he wishes to make love again]

    Summary

    It was not a choice he agonized over or even thought twice about.

    It's you or them, Mecha Man. They're villains. Do you really think they deserve to live more than you do?

    Yes. A million times yes.

    Robert's caught by a supervillian that gives him a easy choice: he can live, or his reformed heroes can live. To him, it's an easy one.

    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

    The thing about plastic chairs is that they weren't a great substitute for an actual bed; the other thing is, Robert can't exactly afford to be picky and even if he 𝘤𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥 the internal debate is still ongoing as to whether or not he deserves a mattress at this current point in his life.

    So, the plastic chair stays and is staying for the foreseeable future. Besides, it's charming - in a depressing, minimalism-that-is-totally-not-a-reflection-of-his-inner-sense-of-worth way.

     
    Or:

    The fic where Robert has chronic pain and Flambae has warm hands. The two of them will figure out what to do about that eventually, right?
