Summary
Guided by the wings of night, scavengers again fly Rubicon's scorched skies. With talons of steel and light they fight for embers burning under snow and ice. But amidst the orchestra of the Coral War, still slow in its crescendo, a player is missing. For neither on the branches of the trees or the snow-capped wall, or even by the hidden scholar's side, can be found a feather of black...
Or, in a Rubicon without Raven, different wingbeats will dictate the path of the Coral War. Different wingbeats from different birds, who all may yet share a feather.

Summary
Malevola has him pinned against her side, hanging onto him like she’s afraid he’s going to get swallowed by the drunken crowd. Sonar is on her other side, ears glowing faintly with the strobe lights as he knocks into her repeatedly.
Visi swings by, wipes the corner of his mouth, then disappears. Hot hands find his head a second- seconds? minutes? later. The flash of orange and black coming closer has him swaying dangerously to catch whatever Flambae starts to mutter against his ear. Something about shitty music?
Coop saunters past with a glint of metal, prying the empty tumbler from his hand. Punch Up appears with a full one to replace it. It makes his face flush when he takes a swig.
“Yo! Anyone seen Golem?” Prism pushes through. She’s got Waterboy by the wrist; She might be about to use him to purposely slip people and get them out of her way. Phenomaman is floating after them.
Visi comes back again, this time with Blazer holding on for dear life. They’re hugging like it’s the end of the world instead of just being drunk in a shitty bar. Blazer smiles, dimples showing. His vision swims.
The whiskey burns. So does the ache in his chest.

Summary
The Phoenix symbolizes renewal, rebirth, and resurrection, emerging from the ashes of its own fiery death to be reborn anew.
This is what Robert Robertson the Third tried to see himself as: A Phoenix. After losing his identity and job as Mecha-Man, he has a chance to reemerge as Dispatcher of the notorious Z-Team, a group of dangerous criminals given a shot at being heroes.
And, while everyone else regards the Z-Team as a dumpster fire, a nuclear bomb just waiting to be set off, Robert sees something else—he sees pain, understanding, and above all, an intent to be better. He sees people who had always drawn the short stick, who bet on losing cards, and who were always regarded as less.
What Robert sees... is a group of Phoenixes.
And he'll be damned if he won't stick by every one of them, regardless of what anyone else thinks.
tldr:
Robert is highly emotionally aware and fiercely protective, refusing to give up on anyone in the Z-team, even when the stakes are high and tension is rising. They're all a bunch of fuckin' idiots, as Chase would say, but they're undoubtedly his idiots, through and through. Blonde Blazer, oddly enough, supports this change of pace.Bookmarked by JaydenHuntings

Summary
"Just one hint," Malevola pleaded. Prism leaned against her chair, eyeing Robert expectantly.
Robert stared at them briefly, deliberating over his response. He settled on honesty. They wouldn't believe him, and they wouldn't be able to link it to his identity as Mecha Man anyway.
"Sure. I can't die."
Prism sighed in frustration. "Oh come on! Don't be like that."
_______________________________________Robert Robertson III was eight when he realized he had a super power. It was also the first time he died.

Summary
Pre-movie Megamind ends up in Worm slightly before canon. Originated on SB.
For the avoidance of doubt, this is not a Megamind stomps the worm-verse story. Don't get me wrong, there will be stomping. But if you come in here expecting him to sweep away everyone in Brockton, effortlessly defeat all the endbringers, and make Cauldron look like fools you will be disappointed. Megamind is a genius. There aren't many problems he cannot solve. He is also, without a doubt, a screw-up. Don't believe me? Watch the movie again. He's a failure. And you know what? I think that's the best thing about him. That he fails and fails and yet he always gets back up. Sometimes he needs some help, who of us can say they don't? But, in the end, he gets up. He learns. He tries. He grows. That's what this story is. The story of Megamind finding his way in Worm and slowly growing into what he never thought he could be, a hero. Albeit, a hero with an orbital death laser. Which, IMO, that's the best kind.
