Summary
Robert's hand dives into the box and eventually pulls out a bubble-wrapped object. He's careful when he unwraps it, taking it layer by layer until the Mecha Man figure is on full display. He holds it up so it faces Mandy and places it right next to his cheek — he grins.
—
Robert finds a box full of merch of a certain superhero Mandy used to be... quite fond of.

Summary
Robert Robertson should have died years ago. He’s a powerless superhero who’s been beaten, blown up, and on the wrong side of the edge of disaster more times than he can count.
After he becomes a dispatcher, Z-team notices the strange way Robert seems to survive almost anything and comes to a conclusion.
Robert Robertson might not be so powerless after all.

Summary
“Tell me. Robert Robertson the Third. Mecha Man. Hero.” There’s something soft in the thing’s voice. Almost reverent. “What do you want?”
His body wants to shut down. His mind wishes for oblivion. The answer is obvious.
“Put me…back into…the fight.” He rasps.
“Very well,” he can hear it smiling, “let’s get to work.”
Or, in simpler terms…let’s do it all over again.

Found family, soft chaos, awkward affection, late-night feelings, and two idiots learning how to love each other for real.- Language:

Summary
So people like me? The average Joe whose granddad wasn’t exposed to experimental radiation or fell into a toxic river, or was born under the star or Orias or something? We’re the soap bubbles. The thin paper people who still get torn, punctured, burned, and broken when not handled with care.
It sucks. But that’s also true of life. So it's not a huge deal.
It just means you have to be smart.
I'm Robert Robertson the Third, and I'm Mecha Man.
