    Summary

    Two alphas on a team tend to generate the wrong kind of friction. Robert, reinstated as Mecha Man and the new leader of the Z-Team after the fall of the Red Ring, finds himself constantly butting heads with Flambae on the job.

    Blazer hopes that a new dispatcher might alleviate the professional stress. But when an omega is introduced to the dynamic, Robert learns about a rare physical reaction that occurs when a normie alpha and a super alpha are “competing” (they’re not competing) for the same partner.

    Biologists call it pheromone mimicry. Robert, who suddenly starts to smell a hell of a lot like an omega, would call it the worst rut that he’s ever had.

    Summary

    "Ooo, Bae come take a look at this!"

    It starts with a photo of Flambae cradling Mecha Man's face. They look like they're in love - they're not.

    Of course it goes viral. Flambae had just been trying to check Robbo was okay after a tough fight, but the truth apparently doesn't matter. The truth doesn't sell tabloids. Instead, the internet is flooded with theories of Mecha Man and 'Ex-Con' Flambae's relationship, and every time they go out on a mission together, swarms of reporters try to get them to give a statement.

    The rest of the team thinks it's hilarious. Robert, meanwhile is being surprisingly good about it and has been like coaching him on how to deal with the paparazzi. It's kinda nice actually.

    He's not falling for Mecha Man though, no matter what the media says!

    Summary

    Ten years after his first victory at the college X-Games, Max Goof is certain he's hit rock bottom.

    It's been four years since the fall that cost him everything. His pro skating career, his dignity, and most recently, his girlfriend, Mona.

    Now, he's pouring what's left of himself into X-treme Innovation, a small company that designs skate gear. His saving grace, forged from the ashes of a former life.

    But when Bradley Uppercrust III acquires the company, Max learns that things can, in fact, get worse. Adding insult to injury, Bradley is engaged to Roxanne, Max's high school sweetheart.

    Forced to work alongside the man who once tried to destroy him, Max discovers there's more to Bradley than he ever knew. As boundaries blur and old rivalries reignite, both men must confront the past they can't escape, and a future neither saw coming.

    Summary

    One of the main characters - the only surviving witness to a murder - has just woken from a coma. Not only is she entirely cognizant, but the first thing that the subtitles say she asks for is a lawyer.

    “What are you fucking giggling about?”

    The other person that’s been paying attention is Flambae. He’s right next to Robert on the couch, his arm slung over the top behind his head. One foot is propped up on the other knee, also pointing towards Robert, which has him caged in the corner by the arm rest. It’s probably some fucked-up power move. Robert has been ignoring it just to spite him.

    “It’s just not how comas work,” Robert shrugs.

    “Right, and you know because you’re a fucking doctor,” Flambae quips back.

    “I know because I was in one, asshole.”

    ------

    During a quiet night in, Robert realizes that his coma and injuries aren't common knowledge among Z-Team.

    Most of them take the information in stride with jokes aplenty.

    Flambae does not.
