The doors swing open.
"S-sorry I'm late!"
Mandy holds back a sigh of relief, before turning to smile at the newcomer. "No worries, Waterboy. Take a seat and we'll… start…"
She blinks. Once, then twice. Then—
"Oh. Wow. You look—"
"You actually look fuckable, what the hell," Courtney wheezes, sounding just as stunned as Mandy feels. Neither notice the sound of Prism's phone shutter clicking multiple times.

Summary
When facing a strange villain that feeds off fear, that pulls the trauma from people’s throats like a horsehair worm from a wriggling mantis, Robert thinks it’s going to be routine, that Flambae will deal with him and get some free therapy as a bonus, that he’s safe behind his desk where the villain called Archivist won’t even think about him.
He’s wrong.

Summary
AU where Robert has powers his dad forced him to suppress in his youth. Upon stepping into the role of Mecha Man Blue, Robert runs himself into the ground physically, mentally, and financially to uphold his family’s legacy. It’s what he was born and raised for, after all. He can’t afford to fuck it up. He’s nothing outside of it. His dad was so keen on drilling that into his head.
…with that kind of pressure on him, is it any wonder he starts to act out? It really shouldn’t be surprising that he needs to let off some steam, some charge, so he doesn’t lose his cool doing real hero work. Call him a hypocrite. Call him a supervillain in a hero’s suit. Robert’s long since past the point of caring.
It’s just a shame he’s working so closely with people who know the hallmarks of a real villain a lot better than he would like them to. He’ll have to keep his work and his fun separate, for the team’s sake if nothing else. They mean a lot to him. He genuinely wants to help them succeed in their redemption arcs.
But he has no intention of stopping. Not when he’s finally back in his prime.
Not for anyone.
