OR

Summary
The gun is in his hand. His finger brushes the trigger, skin grazing the magazine release. He feels every white blood cell in his body collapse and rush to plow through the chambers of his heart, ramming against vein to vein. Feels his chest rise and fall, breath slow and heavy as he stares right at Rosalind Dyer.
OR
A retelling of s05xe04: "The Choice", where Nolan has to make the decision between killing Rosalind and saving Bailey - or losing everything except his morals.
(And has to reflect on his choice before, between, and after.)

Summary
Inhale. The self-loathing's bubbling at the water's surface, carbonated and bitter, fizzling with loud pops.
Exhale. His hand reaches up to flutter at the surface, to no avail. Fingers twitch at his countertop, pills sitting quietly at his palm. Head drowsy, Tim knows there's no use in trying to avoid this now. The whiskey dulls the edges back anyhow.
Inhale. It's not a cry for help. That implies he wants to be found.
OR
Tim tries to kill himself. In the aftermath, everyone else - his friends - try picking up the pieces.
Especially Lucy. (Even if he hurt her.)

Summary
It's been years since everything. The airstrike, his time in the military... Tim had resolved to push it all down. To hide the feelings of everything he'd witnessed, experienced, lived.
But after certain events, it's hard to ignore it.
He turns to unhealthy coping mechanisms.
OR
Tim resorts to self-harm when the routine grows too overbearing, memories of a certain period of his life violently resurfacing after years of being closed-off.
His friends try to help him deal with it.

Summary
Tim was not his father.
He was never going to be like his father.
He hadn't even met the man since the day of his 18th birthday. The day when he booked it and made his way to college on a football scholarship, desperate to get out and escape the years of violence and abuse he'd gone through.
--
Resenting your father is not foreign to Tim Bradford. Reflecting on his experience, however, is.

Summary
"Ladies, gentleman and other assorted motherfuckers," Courtney started as everyone on the Z-team finally settled down in the conference room, "Thank you for attending this very important meeting."
"What the fuck is this about again?" Alice asked, already scrolling her phone, and bobbing her head slightly to whatever music she was listening to. At least she only had one earbud in. That usually meant she was paying rapt attention despite appearances.
"This," Courtney said, pulling the small instrument from her pocket in a rather theatrical fashion, "is the black box of the Mecha Man suit."
To her disappointment, her announcement only raised a few eyebrows, instead of the loud cheering she expected. What an ungrateful bunch of losers.

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.
