    Summary

    Robert had a single goal in his life: to completely tarnish his father's reputation as a hero. Two years after his father's death, he takes up the mantle with glee, fixing up the suit to his liking and going by the name Mecha Man Silver as he dives headfirst into a life of crime. Only when he's finally caught after fourteen years and signs up for the Phoenix Program in an attempt to simply get out of prison does he begin to realize that, perhaps, he doesn't know things exactly as they are. Himself included.

    A violent altercation with the Red Ring renders the popular hero Flambae completely unfit for hero work, he's brought into SDN by Blonde Blazer to work as a dispatcher while undergoing the best care they have to offer to him in exchange. Once he's introduced to his team, he recognizes a face he hoped he would never have to see again for his own safety.

    Summary

    Everything so, so quiet.

    Dying. Robert was dying.

    He didn’t want to die.

    Something hadn’t wanted to die, at least. He wondered sometimes, if it had really been him that night, clinging to life. Or if it had been the venom, already clawing up his brainstem, sifting desperately through the shredded remains of its new host's nervous system.

    Mauled and sick-dog rabid. His father would have put him down without hesitation.

    ***

    Or: Robert is a vampire. He's dealing with it fine. Perfectly fine. And his new job dispatching the ex-villain he put in prison years ago as Mecha Man? Also not a problem. All he needs is to keep his identity, and his condition, secret, and everything will be perfectly, completely, manageable.

    Ft. much yearning, pining, and general idiocy between Robert and a certain fire-powered hero.

    Summary

    When Mecha Man Astral explodes in the sky above Beverly Hills in a freak accident, Robert is left with nothing.

    No legacy, no family, and no way of becoming the hero he was destined to be. But with a new villain hitting the city hard, and criminals running riot, Robert has no choice but to twist his definition of what a true hero is in order to save his city.

    Flambae never thought he'd meet someone who knew what it was like to be him. He also never thought he'd be a hero. Robert Robertson might just change that.

    But Torrance doesn't need an SDN hero. It needs someone with nothing left to lose.
