1. Your Comfort Zone is Lovely (But Nothing Grows There)
Robert is making an effort to get to know the members of his team, so he spends some time with each of them, forming friendships along the way. When spending time with Coupe, they run into a couple of creeps who don't know how to take no for an answer, and they help each other out.
2. Spoils of War
A cult is attempting to summon a dark creature, and when Malevola is sent to stop them, they believe she is the creature they were trying to summon. What do they have to offer as their sacrifice?
Everyone’s favorite dispatcher, of course!
3. The Fire and the Flame
A tired and cold Robert ends up resting against Flambae because he’s warm. Flambae pretends to hate it but also refuses to let anyone move him. The Z-Team teases him about it, but they're also secretly softies for Robert.
4. A Brawl is Surely Brewing
Malevola and Sonar invite Robert along with them for a night on the town, and they inevitably get into another bar fight.
Good thing the Z-Team members aren't incredibly overprotective of their squishy and breakable, non-superpowered dispatcher. Right?

And that’s it! Really!
We welcome any and all types of fanworks, as well as rec lists, playlists...you name it! Meta about your most favorite Inception character? Yes please! A sketch of the team all falling asleep on top of each other? Love it! A haiku about Saito’s carpet? Go for it!
