Summary
When a strange rip in spacetime opens up on top of Flambae and sends him hurtling back through time to land in the past smack dab in the middle of his fight against Mecha Man in the burning mall, he understandably panics. But after he manages to escape the fight with his fingers still attached and no handcuffs around his wrists, he realizes that he's somehow managed to change the past, not just re-live it. How is that possible?
Hmmm. And what else can he change?
Realizing that he's stuck here now in this new timeline, Flambae resolves to use his knowledge of the future to make things better for himself, his friends, and his family. He's going to do things right this time around. He's going to be a real hero. He's going to help.
And quite frankly, who needs more help than one Robert Robertson the Third?

Summary
The reasonable thing to do when you get flung three years into the past would be to sit down and think things through - make a plan.
Fuck that noise - the Z-Team doesn't make plans. They have one (1) future dispatcher and current
disasterhero to find and bully into taking care of himself and one (1) statistics-obsessed, jackass supervillain to murder and leave in a convenient ditch. Easy, straight forward - no problem.Robert would really appreciate it if someone would explain to him what the hell is going on.

Summary
Laying on the cold hard ground, his nostrils filled with the cloying smell of iron and hot pain pulsing through his head with every beat of his heart as he stares up at the woman floating above him, Robert's tempted to make a joke about the familiar sight.
Not that he will. At least for Blonde Blazer, this is the first time they've met.
Aka, a time-travel au.

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.
