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."

Summary
“Look.” he continued, hands raised in surrender. “You’re pissed. I get it. As you know, the rest of my day wasn’t that fucking great either.”
He nodded towards the corner of the ceiling, where one of several small CCTV cameras sat. “But if you’re going to incinerate me, could you at least do it in a blind spot? I don’t exactly want my charred corpse caught in 4k.”
Flambae glanced around at the cameras, puffing out a warm, steady breath. He met Robert’s gaze again, hot embers burning beneath his glare. Flambae’s other fist curled, trembling slightly.
Robert licked his lips and braced, fully expecting to have to come up with a brand new excuse tomorrow for why his nose was busted this time around.
Instead, his eyes narrowed when Flambae’s glare — for the smallest, most imperceptibly short moment — flitted down, tracking the motion. Flambae’s gaze snapped back up, looking caught.
Robert blinked, eyes widening. His mouth fell open, the corner of his mouth ticking up just a fraction. “Oh.”

Or, Robert and Flambae run into eachother after hours, post the “comms incident”. They argue a bit, then finish what they started.

Summary
After a dispatcher working out of DTLA is brutally murdered by one of the supers on her team, SDN is desperate to fill the position. Turns out, Robert’s the perfect guy for the job.
He’s practically a miracle worker, after all. The Phoenix program’s a rousing success, Shroud’s back behind bars, the Z-Team’s at the top of Torrance’s leaderboard… and with the director of the SDN offering him the promotion in person, how could he say no?
So, he agrees on one condition: if he’s moving up, the Z-Team’s moving up, too.
They’re in the big leagues now. Designer costumes, a broader beat, photoshoots, galas, merch… sure, a few of the SDN’s golden boys have gone rogue and the director’s suddenly desperate to get Robert —specifically Robert— back in the field, but who’s got time to worry about that when L.A.’s favorite reformed villains are making their encore debut?
[If you didn’t get enough Dispatch while playing Dispatch, I wrote this for you! This fic builds on the world and puts our favorite found-family under a media microscope while a slow-burn murder mystery thrums in the background. Some minor horror/thriller elements, mostly through Robert’s POV. Includes artwork.]

Summary
“If you’re not interested, you can just say that. I probably came on too strong with the whole… ‘fucking you until you cry’ speech.”
“You also called me an annoying bitch. Real mixed signals. I don’t know what to think.”
“You’re hilarious. How about we start with the home cooked meal and see where that goes? Come over tomorrow. I’m an excellent cook.”
“And humble, too.”
“Fuck you, Robert.”
“Not on the first date.”
“I think I changed my mind. You’re too annoying.” There was a pause. “No but really, come over tomorrow.”
aka Flambae and Robert get drunk and hook up. Robert definitely doesn't regret anything and the team is very normal about it. Surprisingly, that's not where it ends.
