Summary
“You did a good job today.” The monotone voice brought him back from his thoughts. Robert. Alive and breathing Robert, who shouldn't be alive or breathing at all.
Or: Robert dies, a bunch of times, and Flambae tries to stop it.

Summary
“What?”
“What,” he does his best Robert impression, dramatic and gritty. “Food. You don't wanna eat here, fine. Where from, then? I'll get it. Stop bumming me out.”
Silence stretches it's limbs between now and a full minute.
Eventually, Robert speaks again, suspecting Flambae isn't fucking with him. It comes out smokier than before.
“Thai. Anything spicy. Doesn't matter. I'll, uh. Write you a check. Or something.”
“…What?” If his mouth could blink, it would.
“I have to go. Good work.”
Unceremoniously, Robert retreats back into the obscurity of those old ass headphones.
Prism’s laugh is breezy and warm.
“He’s cute, you gotta admit.”
Flambae agrees.
Robert being Mecha Man aside, he agrees.
Or,
Robert has no idea how to tell Flambae he's Mecha Man.
Flambae has no idea how to tell him he already knows.

Summary
A unplanned road trip strands Robert and Chad in the desert after the Firebird breaks down miles from anywhere. With night closing in Robert begins to realize Chad isn't afraid of being stranded.
───☄─·✵·─☄───Nyctophobia — fear of the dark. Of spaces where nothing can be seen and every sound feels wrong. Fear sharp enough to make the fire spark, and the lingering dread of accidentally hurting someone just trying to get close.
───☄─·✵·─☄───The first sign was the sound.
A hitch in the V8's rumble. Small, barely there. Robert felt it through the bench seat before he heard it, a vibration that didn't match the road. The engine caught briefly and Chad checked the dash and nothing flagged, the gauges holding steady.
It came through the whole car, a tremor that started under the hood and traveled backward through the frame, rattling the rearview mirror and buzzing through the bench seat into Robert's spine. The engine note dropped and caught and dropped again, and the RPM needle twitched with it.
The Firebird shuddered harder and the engine coughed, flat and mechanical, and the speedometer began to slide, eighty down to seventy-five down to seventy.

Summary
One of the main characters - the only surviving witness to a murder - has just woken from a coma. Not only is she entirely cognizant, but the first thing that the subtitles say she asks for is a lawyer.
“What are you fucking giggling about?”
The other person that’s been paying attention is Flambae. He’s right next to Robert on the couch, his arm slung over the top behind his head. One foot is propped up on the other knee, also pointing towards Robert, which has him caged in the corner by the arm rest. It’s probably some fucked-up power move. Robert has been ignoring it just to spite him.
“It’s just not how comas work,” Robert shrugs.
“Right, and you know because you’re a fucking doctor,” Flambae quips back.
“I know because I was in one, asshole.”
------
During a quiet night in, Robert realizes that his coma and injuries aren't common knowledge among Z-Team.
Most of them take the information in stride with jokes aplenty.
Flambae does not.
