Summary
Grandpa Bobbie and his daemon Alba, who died before Robert was born, settled as a bobcat. Not the biggest daemon, but big enough one’d have to start considering the size of spaces when it came to their daemon. Dad and his daemon Solas settled as doberman. To a young kid, this was setting a pattern of bigger and bigger forms as the Robertson legacy continued.
Robert and Valda rarely ever went small. They did cheetah, tiger, lion, crocodile. All sorts of breeds of huge dogs. Wolves. Predators and hunters, animals befitting a hero who would protect people and hunt down villains.

Dispatch with daemons. (Previously titled From the Dust)

Summary
Robert Robertson was a shadowed man. It usually wasn't intentional, he simply played the best hand he could with the cards he was given; But once, it was very different. Before the shitty apartment, back home, in a nicely lit house. One that was never truly quiet, that's now barren walls once echoed with the sounds of children's laughter and the smell of homecooked meals... But that was the past, and he had to put it behind him, even if it kept him awake at night. Perhaps, a certain Fire-y hero could help him with his grief? As well as some more friends along the way to real recovery.
OR: Robert was once married to a man, with two adoptive children. When all three of those people die, he was let with barely anything. After spending years in grief, he finally got revenge on Shroud, the killer of them all. At least, thats what he thought, until Shroud escaped prison. With all of the chaos that's going on, he cannot recover alone. Flambae (alongside Chase and the Z-Team) are here to help.

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
Just because he now has a better life now doesn't mean his mind is better. Robert still struggles with chronic pain, self-esteem, suicidal thoughts, poverty mindset, his experience with Courtney, and generally caring for himself. The Z-Team refuses to let him drown in his misery.
I do not give my permission for my writing to be fed to ai in any way. My work cannot be used to train ai models, inspire ai "fanfiction" or "writing", or for any fuckass ai chatbot roleplay. If I ever find that my work has been fed to ai, I will look into pursuing legal action as I consider it theft (other than ai rp, then I just hate you.)

Summary
It’s unusual for Robert to have a day off (at least after he’s been forced to have one.) What’s more unusual is that there’s someone who shares the same name as him but appears at a younger age
Alternate summary:
Robert turns 17 at random and questions what the hell his present self is doing with his life -

Summary
Robert climbs out of the smoldering wreckage of his father’s legacy only to find that he's no longer needed. Mecha Man is, of course. But Robert Robertson? Ha. No.
So he tries to piece his life back together, however hopeless a cause it may be. But then it's time to announce his--hm, not retirement. Convalescence? Close enough--and it goes just a little too well. Chase never calls in the favor with Blazer so Robert never gets the job at SDN. Purposeless, he lets himself backslide. Forces himself to focus on the suit and only the suit because it's the only way he'll ever let himself live again (as if Mecha Man was much of a life beforehand).
Then a couple assholes bust down his door because the neighbors called for a wellness check and now Robert's plans of dying in a landslide of pizza boxes will have to be put on pause.
TLDR: Z-Team fixes Robert instead. (Albeit with a boat load of fuck ups along the way.)

Summary
But Elliot made a crucial mistake, he may have killed his dad, but he did not kill Mecha Man.
Because the Mecha Man Armor was sitting in his dad’s garage right now, absent of a pilot to put it to use. People may be mourning that Mecha Man is dead, but they are also expecting a new Mecha Man to appear.
And this mantle falls to him to pick up.

When Elliot Connors shot Robbie Robertson, Robert was only 11 years old. Instead of going to therapy or continuing schooling. Robert dedicates himself to becoming Mecha Man in his father’s absence. This leads to a 15 year old Robert being the Mecha Man that the SDN and Team Z will have the misfortune of dealing with.

Summary
Robert Robertson has been living the past few months for two years. It isn't like every day is the same, but it isn't like he has total control of his actions or the things that happen. The suit breaks, he wakes from a coma, dispatches a little, then locks up Shroud to do it all again. He's learned a lot, done a lot, and failed a lot all through six four month loops. What he's learning this time, is he's tired, this time all he wants to be is tired.
His definition of being tired might differ from the usual, just as the key events start to differ from their usual.
Chad is confident he knows who this man is, has seen his face, known his walk, heard his words before. But at the same time he can't quite put his finger on it. But Chad is no quitter.
OR
Robert is stuck in a timeloop and is admittedly very sick of it, he's just going to do what he wants this time, no researching just bullshitting.
Chad really wants to know who the hell this dispatcher is and why he radiates déjà vu.

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
Everyone was having a good time celebrating their victory over Shroud and the Red Ring that they may have forgot that some of them were hurt. That some of them were hurt worse then others... much worse.
or
Robert should be much more injured after 3 weeks of recovery, bar fights, explosions, torture, and of course, more fighting.

Summary
{Waterboy hiccupped, pressing his grip more tightly into his arms. Rough scratches were already turning into welts on his skin. Finally, he sat up. His lower abdomen heaved harshly, a few stretch marks webbing a slight pouch. Before Robert could begin to come to the conclusion himself, Waterboy opened his legs, whimpering. When Robert looked down, he could see a head emerging from him.
His ears began to ring so loudly that he can barely hear Waterboy sobbing beside him. He couldn't force himself not to freeze this time, staring at the head and back at Waterboy's tear and water soaked face. He tried to speak, but his voice only came out in erratic bursts.
“You- but we only- it's been- I’m not-”}
Things happen quickly sometimes. One minute, you're waking up regretting a one night stand, the next minute, you're in the NICU staring down your future. Robert and Waterboy try to figure out their relationship, parenthood, and maybe fall in love along the way. It's messy, but worth it in the end.

Summary
A few months after Shroud's downfall, the SDN office is rebuilt. And with Halloween coming up, what better way to celebrate than with a costume party? Even though everyone normally wears costumes to work anyway?
With his suit in need of repairs and upgrades, Robert returns to his dispatching desk. Mandy wants to share her secrets with him, but worries how he'll react so early in their relationship. Flambae rewrites another '90s pop song and probably needs a new car insurance policy. Malevola somehow turns green. Sonar's hopes of getting paid to goof off are quickly dashed. Coupe tries to fit in again after being let go and brought back. Phenomaman is... well, Phenomaman. And Invisigal might not actually be as over it as she thought she was.
Meanwhile the Red Ring, still licking their wounds after their defeat, would like to plot... something. If only they could just get their act together.

Summary
Robert knew better than to enter glowing cottages in suspicious not-woods. Every horror story, fairy tale, and survival instinct agreed on that.
But he was already dead.
So might as well.
--------------------
Or Robert dies embarrassingly.
Then is revived by cosmic Editors, labeled a Plot Hole, and is shoved back into the past with all his memories intact.
So he acts accordingly and decides to flirt with danger, probability, and anyone who gets in his way.
The timeline was going to survive.
HR? Negotiable.

Summary
It was the first time someone other than Chase looked at him, like truly looked at him. From all the pent-up anger and rage, at least he would catch the attention of the wayward scientist that was always in the garage. Who was ever so silent that he never really spoke beyond the party.
Eliot has more influence on Robert in his earlier days than Robert would like to admit. This changes the context of some of his interactions going forward.
Very self-indulgent whumpfest that is Roberto Bobertson's life. Heavily follows canon in the first part. -

Summary
Robert isn't Mecha Man. He's just Robert, a regular civilian in desperate need of a job, who takes a job in desperate need of someone to hold out for longer than a week (which would be a new record for the team, at this rate).
No suit.
No special training in how to take hits.
(Takes place immediately following the bar fight.)
