Summary
Following Shroud’s passing, Torrance was no longer glowing red. Robert was also SDN-suspended, but so was his heart towards a certain flamboyant guy. Flambae learns of Robert’s feelings towards him, which, one way or another, led to both of them having a one-night stand. However, amidst their intimacy and infatuations, a new threat also disturbs the peace of Torrance during Robert’s suspension. Fragments of Robert and Flambae’s past lives resurface in succeeding dispatch calls…and Robert has to decide if he needs to cut himself out as a dispatcher of the Phoenix Program, for the sake of Flambae’s future.
-----
Initially, I wrote this with solely romance in mind and not anything else. However, after drafting Chapter 6…I realized that I’m probably on to something. This is a DLC-esque story following the events from Season 1’s Episode 8. New villains, new synergies: that’s where my writing led me. Expounding more on Flambae and Robert’s dynamic, and giving more spotlight to the Z-team and other side characters. -

“I’m making negative five thousand dollars each month?” Robert’s mouth fell open and he wasn’t sure he could afford to close it.
Sonar just nodded. “Sure are. Your credit card debt has credit card debt. I’m honestly shocked your credit score isn’t six.”
“So I’m just poor? That’s it?”
“Sucks to suck dude.” Sonar stood up, stretching as he yawned. “Bet you wish you’d sealed the deal with Blonde Blazer now, huh?”
“I’m not hot enough to fuck my way into triple my salary and a new suit.”

Summary
Robert rubbed his temples. "Alright, polyamory. But—"
He hesitated.
"How does that work, exactly?"
Malevola sighed—then leaned forward, resting her elbows on her knees. "Alright, dumbass. Basic breakdown. Communication. Honesty. Boundaries."
"But like. I don't get it. You just get to...date and fuck whoever?"
"You're thinking way too black and white, idiot."
Sonar sighed. "That'd be the dream though. Infinite puss."
Malevola ignored him. "It's a lot more complicated than monogamous relationships. It's all about needs, desires, insecurities."
"But people are different. What if it doesn't match up?"
"Then you talk it out. Figure out compromises. Decide if you can meet those needs—or if you aren't compatible."
Robert stared at his phone. His thumb brushed over the background; Visi holding Beef.
"So. Now that we've educated you—what are you gonna do?"
"...I don't know."

Summary
The family legacy was to die in that suit. His legacy was to live, knowing death would follow him out of the crevices of those metal corners and into the lives of those around him. Those foolish enough to interact, to reach out, to care.
His suit, blue and overbearing, his pride, his second home, his life. He had lied through his teeth, saying his father would be proud. Proud? How can a man who’d never so much as offered him a word of comfort in a world of hurt ever be anything but proud? He’d be more proud of that stupid suit than his own son, who’s doing his damned best holding onto a legacy—a legacy that follows his shadow like bloody footsteps because the start of that blood-ridden trail is his father’s body, his grandfather’s body, alone and lifeless and limp.
In his mind’s eye, he can still see his father’s corpse.
A hand comes up to grip his mouth as a wave of nausea he barely manages to swallow back hits him like a freight train.
“Robert!”
In which Robert reflects on the death of Shroud, the events leading up to it, and the future. He falls, but his loved ones are there to catch him.

Summary
Waking up with a headache was nothing new to Robert, but he hasn’t grown up to be a fan of it yet. Stretching in his plastic chair and pressing his knuckles against the area between his eyebrows eases the pain, soothing it from a sharp one to a dull, more in the background one, giving Robert a chance to stand up and feel the blood flow try it best to keep him from swaying.
The bathroom lights blind Robert for a brief second when he turns them on, regretting his choice to do so when he is greeted by his reflection in the mirror.
If Robert has issues that go above what he can, or wants to, work through by himself, will they take him down or will someone finally snap him out of it?

Summary
After Shroud’s fall, Robert Robertson III finds himself given the chance to step back into a world he once belonged to—only to realise just how much of it he had been surviving rather than living.
He knows he can’t keep running on the survival instincts that got him through the last fifteen years. This time, he wants to do things right—even if unlearning some of his old habits turns out to be harder than fighting villains.
As Mecha Man learns how to be a hero without destroying himself in the process, the Z Team watches closely—catching a glimpse of the unspoken, unseen side of heroism that no one ever talks about.
A continuation of Steep Learning Curve

Summary
Everyone and their mother knows that suppressants aren’t foolproof. They’re not a one size fits all like the pharmaceutical companies tout them to be. Some meds are better for omegas than others, but price and availability limits their usage. It’s a whole thing that Robert has learned to live with.
So, when one of the members of Z-Team is going into a rut because of a mysterious drug, the suppressants aren't as effective as they should be. Robert decides to hole up for a day in hopes he’s only going into pre-heat and not a full blown heat.
What he gets is help from an alpha that he never expected.

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.

Summary
The second Robert says he's Mecha Man after that bar fight, he knows Flambae is going to be furious. But when the reformed villain doesn't immediately attack, Robert is forced to confront some previous assumptions he'd had. Which leads him to Flambae's doorstep hours later with an offer - he won't fight back as Flambae takes his revenge. He isn't expecting Flambae's revenge to take the form of fucking him, but...
Well. He's not dead, so it's still a success. It hurts just like he thought, but he'll do anything for his legacy - he has suffered for it since he was a child, it's nothing new. Speaking of child... maybe he should've been better about birth control and not relying on his body's malnutrition response for it.
All the while, Shroud hangs over his head like an axe, Flambae's revenge is turning into something softer than hate, Royd is struggling to get the mech suit working, and Robert is being crushed by the weight of a dead man's expectations.
Wasn't taking a desk job supposed to have him bleeding less than being in the field?
