Summary
Robert isn't at work. Robert. The same guy that came in just hours after being EXPLODED. Is not at work.
Why?[OR: Robert takes a day to get his head right after everything and the Z-Team takes this personally. And also get some insight to his.. weird relationship with food? Kinda?]

Summary
After revealing his identity, and barely escaping with his life, Robert attempts to fix things up with Flambae, which, of course, only serves to further complicate the whole situation. Somehow, they end up gasping for breath in an alleyway, though the path there is a little confusing.
aka Robert does not know what this guy's deal is, while said guy also doesn't know what his deal is. They fuck about it. First, though, there's pining.

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
“So when I said I’m afraid I’ll fail you…”
His voice softened to something he didn’t recognize.
“…I mean, I’ve already failed you once. And I don’t get many second chances.”

Summary
Robert Robertson III spent seven years believing the Mecha Man suit was the only extraordinary thing about him-the tech, the mission, the legacy, the perfect hero, the perfect soldier, the perfect legacy bearer for a family that never lived past forty. He patrolled the streets of Los Angeles until his bones ached and his bank account died, clinging to a hero name that cost him everything except the stray dog who refused to leave him. But the cold in his veins was never normal. The frost on his glass, the way he never felt heat, the way fire bent strangely around him. They were inheritance. Old inheritance.
And the first person to recognize what he is? - Flambae. A pyrokinetic disaster with a wicked grin, a criminal record, and enough fire to melt steel, or warm someone who can’t feel heat at all.
Robert isn’t looking for a partner. He isn’t looking for a destiny. He definitely isn’t looking for a fire-powered menace who thinks his existential crisis is “kinda cute.” But flame seeks cold, cold seeks flame, and sometimes the person who burns the world down is the only one who can thaw what’s frozen inside you.
