    Summary

    “Morning Team.”

    There’s a string of groans, someone curses; and it feels like he’d interrupted something, but the first call comes in; and there’s no time to piece together the conversation that was happening beforehand. Even if there’s a low pang of ill placed rejection sticking to the inside of his throat.

    Yeah, great day.

    Baby steps. Robert breathes harshly through his noise and regrets it when the entire office floods his senses; swallows a mouthful of bile and snips back at Invisigal, bitches at Flambae, and sends Golem to un-fuck someone's fuck up. Tries not to choke on his instincts and lets both his knees go numb.

    Robert's always been a Omega, it's not a point of pride, it's not a point of contention. He just is.
    After putting Shroud back behind bars, Robert returns to his new post coma normal: pretending nothing is wrong, orbiting the Z-Team, pretending the group of unruly Alpha's aren't his pack. Pushing himself past his already stretched thin limits.

    Robert's body demands a break.

    And it's going to get one, whether he wants it or not.

    The Z-Team do their best to pick up the pieces in the aftermath, in their own way.

    Summary

    Robert wants to sink his teeth into Flambae... and voices such a thought on one sunny afternoon break.

    It's too bad he forgot what connotation his teeth carry.

    Summary

    It's not like Robert has forgotten Valentine's Day exists. It's hard to not notice holidays as they come and go - they're writ large on advertising billboards, unavoidable in shops and storefronts, creeping into hero work. He's just resigned to it.

    That is, until he gets into work and sees his desk.

    ///

    Or: the Z-Team decide to show their dispatcher some love for the holiday.

    (Could be read platonically or as polyteam)

    Summary

    The reasonable thing to do when you get flung three years into the past would be to sit down and think things through - make a plan.

    Fuck that noise - the Z-Team doesn't make plans. They have one (1) future dispatcher and current disaster hero to find and bully into taking care of himself and one (1) statistics-obsessed, jackass supervillain to murder and leave in a convenient ditch. Easy, straight forward - no problem.

    Robert would really appreciate it if someone would explain to him what the hell is going on.
