Summary
His body swings like a punching bag. The tightening sensation and chafing of the chains around his legs the only thing reminding his body they existed at all. Robert had already been struggling to breathe. His lungs would scream out in pain against the weight of the organs that suffocated them if he could waste the breath. With the desperation only dying men have, Robert found himself searching for any hint of oxygen in the air as the force of Shroud’s fist sent what little air he had left out of his lungs. All he received was the taste of cheap, shitty alcohol on his tongue, the heavy must of mould in his mouth and the acidic tang of vomit hitting the back of his throat.

Robert might not have the Astral Pulse or know where it is, but he has something just as useful to Shroud. He just needs to stamp out that mind of his.

Summary
My Villain Robert AU in chronological order.
Robert Robertson III is a missing person. Thought to be killed by Shroud soon after he did the same to Mecha Man Astral. However, he is not dead, unlike what many think. Shroud had gotten him on his side, convinced Robert of his innocence in Mecha Man Astral’s death. Now, Robert runs the Red Ring, seeking to prove his Uncle Elliot’s innocence. Dubbed ‘Savior’ by those around him, due to his penchant of bringing in ‘lost causes’ or those otherwise cast aside.
People wonder if he’s even human. Armored in metal, nobody has seen his skin, let alone his face. Those who have won’t say a word.

Summary
“Sooo have you actually had gay sex?” Victor asks genuinely curious.
Robert tilts his head, an actual grin breaking through. “Have the news ever lied to you?”
Everyone stares at Robert. He just shrugs.
---------
Or the SDN makes the horrible executive decision to put Robert onstage as the Z-Team’s hero representative, fully aware that his PR experience consists of half a prayer and a legacy doing most of the heavy lifting. Robert takes the microphone and runs with it, feeding Los Angeles the most outrageous half-truths he can get away with.
The Z-Team slowly realizes their dispatcher is a public menace.
Unfortunately, they are completely whipped.

Summary
It’s been a couple of weeks since Robert became the Z-Team’s dispatcher. The fact everyone lost the bet on when he’d be getting out bummed everyone out, but when the idea of a “What hero is Robert Robertson” betting pool came up, everyone got pumped again trying to figure it out.
Which is how the Z-Team ended up here, sitting in the conference room, playing Never Have I Ever. And finding out out-of-context tidbits about Bob Bobson's backstory.

Summary
“It’s not a real kid, Chase.”
Chase is technically underage, he’s a year away from being able to drink but the bartender didn’t bother to check his ID. Chase has always looked a little older than he was, it works in his favor now.
Nobody at a hero bar like this would assume he was so young.
“How the fuck do you think that?” Chase asks, spits. His hands still shake with the memory of it. The beer in his hand shakes with the tremors of his hands. “How the fuck do you do it?”
Mechaman sighs, deep, disappointed. He leans back, taking his whiskey with him.
The rest of the Brave Brigade was downstairs, drinking in victory, dancing with the other heroes, celebrating.
“It’s the Astral Pulse.”

Summary
When facing a strange villain that feeds off fear, that pulls the trauma from people’s throats like a horsehair worm from a wriggling mantis, Robert thinks it’s going to be routine, that Flambae will deal with him and get some free therapy as a bonus, that he’s safe behind his desk where the villain called Archivist won’t even think about him.
He’s wrong.

Summary
Some of the bribes he accepted. Some he did not. It really depended on the HR Violation scale that had been long since pushed to it's limit by this ridiculous ensemble of a team he called his own.
"Ten minutes."
He raised a single eyebrow up at him. "Of?…"
"Holding you." Sonar said bluntly, shifting from one foot to the next as his ear flicked.

Summary
Jason crouched down beside the guy, keeping his movements deliberate. "Look, medbay's incoming. But between you and me?" He tilted his head toward the sound of screeching Batmobile tires rounding the corner. "You might wanna think about dialing back the cosmic horror talk when the World's Greatest Detective shows up, unless you want to get instantly adopted."
The man's crooked nose scrunched up. "Adopted?" he scoffed. "I'm 27."
Jason barked a laugh, genuine this time. "Yeah? Bruce doesn't discriminate."
