    Summary

    Ten years ago, a boy with amber-brown eyes saves Herm's life.

    Now, the same man offers to tie his tie for him, the smile in his eyes exactly the same as it was when he was younger. And when the same man, with the same smile, offers a spot for him on the team...

    There's really not much Herm can say about it. He's by no means the most eloquent person in the world, and he's certainly no good at expressing his feelings. But there's one thing he knows for certain.

    He's so screwed.

    (Alternatively: the waterboy route everyone wanted.)

    Summary

    When the final call of a pretty mellow night comes in, a small abandoned building that had caught ablaze, Robert knew the perfect person to send.

    At least he thought he did. Until he was watching that same hero being sped away in the back of an ambulance

    -

    Waterboy gets critically injured during a mission. What a fool Robert was to believe he deserved to be happy.

    Summary

    "I want you to keep an eye on Phenomaman, yes. He needs…confidence. A friend, really. Kind of like you do. I think you could be a good pair. I'm not asking you to be in a relationship with him. I'm just—fuck, I think he just needs a more immediate thing to care for and protect until he can pull himself together enough to take care of himself. And if he starts advocating for you, or the team starts seeing how much improvement he makes by having nice, HR compliant interactions with an Omega—" Robert snarls, swearing. "Shit, sorry that's—that's not fucking HR compliant, and it's fucking a huge ask, and totally inappropriate, and I'm sorry—"

    "I'll do it."

    Or, Waterboy agrees to help keep an eye on Phenomaman and learns a little about himself (and being a hero) in the process.

    Four months after the fact, Robert Robertson receives a distress call about a villain with Red Ring implants currently wrecking havoc on the coastline.

    It couldn't be, could it?
