robert “shut up dad!” robertson didn’t even know why the SDN had a child, or well, a teenager in the program. he didn’t like your attitude, how you treated the team or how you’d play the victim if you’re in the wrong. “but i’m just a kid! i don’t know any better!” bullshit.
robert “shut up dad!” robertson who was getting quickly sick of how you never ever listened when he gave directions. it pissed him off even more when you’d look directly into the cameras and stare at him while you went in the opposite direction. he can’t snap at a kid, but he was going to be at his limit soon. even other members of the Z-team were on their best behavior to avoid his wrath.
robert “shut up dad!” robertson who watched you eat alone during your lunch break. serves you right, you were constantly rude to everyone. that was his thought process before he saw you watching a kids show. he had to do a few turn backs before realizing you were watching shows meant for 3-7 year olds. he noticed the blue dog with her orange sister, running around together. he saw how you touched your phone screen, your fingers lingering on the screen.
robert “shut up dad!” robertson who remembered; you’re still a kid. there was a reason to why you were here, and he didn’t want to push you for an answer. it was obvious you didn’t trust anyone, hence why you had built this barrier to keep the others away.
robert “shut up dad!” robertson who would only private dispatch you, keep your line separate from the others. you noticed how much more quiet it was, and it made you feel less alone and anxious. he noticed how you’d listen more compared to being yelled at when he would call you along with the others.
robert “shut up dad!” robertson who had his break switched in order to sit by, or around you so you wouldn’t be completely alone. he saw how you’d stop watching your show around him, or play it from under the table with headphones. he thought it was progress one day when you had your phone out on the table, with the brightness on the lowest is could be.
robert “shut up dad!” robertson who was on the hunt for a lost beef before he spotted you by the janitors closet, holding beef in your lap. he tried to stay quiet as he watch the scene, you gently rubbed beef’s head as you showed him bluey. apparently you learned your show lets dog see colors, so you and beef were watching bluey together away from others.
robert “shut up dad!” robertson who nearly had a heart attack after he saw you come back from a mission with bruises and bandages all over your legs and arms. you tried to hide them from the rest of the team, you were successful at first until robert had came looking for you. he began scolding you instead of yelling, but that was enough for you to snap. you raised your voice before yelling “shut up dad!” robert was taken aback, some part of him wanted to continue arguing, but another part had his heart squeezing.
robert “shut up dad!” robertson from that day forward became a workdad. it wasn’t expected, but he can’t complain too much.
Request: Hi hi! Is it alright if I request platonic headcanons of z team from dispatch with a gn reader whos about 15 or 16, the idea could be that they see them as a parent so what would their reactions be?
I hope its no bother and thank you for reading my request! Have a lovely day/night!

• Gonna be honest most of them panic, when they realise you think of that person/the team as your parent/s their first thought is ‘Really, me/us?’
• In game if the reader is placed with the parental character, said character will throw them some praise or slight tease.
• But the true reactions for each person is this:
✮`,— Robert .ᐟ.ᐟ
• He mentally panics and you can see the look on his face, not complete denial but the thought of ‘why him?’
• Will question you on this, glad you found someone to see as a parent but you could’ve gone to anyone but him, hell, even Chase would’ve been better..
Actually no, he’s the better choice here.
• After he does the math and realises he is in fact one of the better choices, he thanks you. Thanks you for trusting him with this role and he’ll try to uphold the title.
• Shocks Chase when he asks for any parenting advice he has, only to be laughed at when he mentioned what happened with you.
• Overall Robert isn’t a terrible choice, one of the better ones for sure. Just give him some time and he’ll get there, it’s just he’s never done the whole ‘being a parent’ so be patient.
✮`,— Sonar .ᐟ.ᐟ
• I fear this man wouldn’t catch on, while yes he’s book smart he’s not ‘noticing the kid you’ve gotten really close to now sees you as their dad’ smart.
• He misses the way you come to him for most things, got injured, want food, just wanna chat and hang, assumed you did that with everyone else.
• Only when the others teased him for ‘being a father now’ did it hit him, you didn’t go to them for this, you trusted him with this, with you.
• Doesn’t rush to find you and confirm this, instead he waits until you two meet again, during that time he goes through every instance and keeps realising how dumb he was not noticing this sooner.
• Definitely a little awkward about it but tries, as you’ve given him another reason to make him stay in the program, and he was not going to let you down now.
✮`,— Flambae .ᐟ.ᐟ
• This man was not and is not prepared for fatherhood to a teenager, or just fatherhood in general.
• When you joined the team he was a little shocked, what did this kid do that caused them to join the program? That also came with a little respect, because you’re here with the grown ups.
• He might've picked up on the change sooner but with Robert also becoming their new dispatcher his attention was stolen, only after someone says something he realises.
• This guy though, will confront you after a little thought, finding you busy with something only to pull you away.
• Questioning everything that you’ve been doing, constantly finding him, talking, anything he remembers.
• Doesn’t deny the new title, actually takes it in stride now that he has confirmation. (Went home that first day and almost combusted immediately, ‘He’s a dad now, he has to be a good role model.’)
• Next day takes you under his wing, training, talking shit, almost molding you into a mini Flambae, much to everyone's dismay.
✮`,— Punch Up .ᐟ.ᐟ
• He notices pretty quickly how you gravitate towards him, especially for more important stuff. When you get injured you search for him and ask him to help, and he does. After work you sit and talk with him about anything you can think of.
• While he isn’t that smart he can read you like a book, and accepts this with open arms.
• Becomes the embarrassing dad stereotype I fear, loud and always close by. Whenever you complete a job he’s over the comms complimenting you loudly to the others, on break he’s telling embarrassing stories.
• He also becomes a slight helicopter parent, still new and awkward to this but you’ve given him this title and he will keep it.
✮`,— Prism .ᐟ.ᐟ
• Seemed to unconsciously notice this, not that she really thought about it before it hits her.
• How she always looks for you in meetings or when either of you come back from a job, when you all get food she’ll sit by you, even grabbing the food to make sure you have something.
• She even mentions you in a song, not that anyone knows who she's talking about but she does.
• But in all honesty she doesn’t really know how to parent but she tries, it helps that you’re a teen and not some younger kid.
• She will make holograms of you, while they’re useful in battle it's more fun to prank and scare others, though they do catch on pretty quickly.
• She tries to be a decent parent though, mainly by making sure you’re okay and eating. Don’t doubt her, she’s stubborn and will wait you out for most things.
✮`,— Malevola .ᐟ.ᐟ
• She acts more like a big sister but hey, she won’t actually deny being a parent if you want her to be yours.
• Actively trains with you, though mainly training you, she has to make sure you’re strong and can handle yourself when she’s not around.
• She’s another one who makes sure you eat, normally gets you double of what you want just in case you’re extra hungry and if not she gets the rest.
• Bullies Robert until you get placed with her on jobs, they both know when not to though. When that happens she brings you back a souvenir, they are mostly dumb little things that civilians give her as a thanks or she manages to steal.
• She will pick you up, her favourite way is tucking you under her arm, and has no problem throwing you over her shoulder like a sack of potatoes.
✮`,— Golem .ᐟ.ᐟ
• He’s not too bad at being a parent, just bare with him for the first little while. Otherwise he’s got it pretty down pat.
• Isn’t too overbearing, makes sure to ask after most jobs how you’re going and if you’re injured to get help, not from him though as he can’t really get in there.
• If you’re around for the bar fight, he keeps you outside at least until the fight then he lets you run off but tries to keep an eye out. Makes sure you don’t sneak any alcohol in the rush of everything.
He tries to keep you included in things the team does, even if he’s not included every time but he understands.
• Another one who enjoys picking you up, and he can do it anyway he wants. Finds it funny to hold you above his head, but when you’re causing trouble he scruffs you.
✮`,— Coupe .ᐟ.ᐟ
• She’s rightfully shocked at first, because look at her and what she's done. Does that really scream ‘parent material’ to you?
• Actively tries to make you regret the decision and choose someone else but recognises when you don’t listen and stick with her, which he silently admires, ‘you really want to choose her, then she will indulge.’
• Trains with you often, brushes it off as ‘you’re a hero now, you need to protect yourself.’ But in her mind she doesn’t want to see you hurt.
• (Seeing as she’s taking up sewing as a hobby) She eventually makes you a piece of clothing, something simple like a shirt, skirt or something else, leaving it with your other items without a note. (you know who it’s from)
• When you’ve trained enough (in her eyes) she’ll get you your own knife, something strong, engraved and meaningful. Even if you don’t use knives and just keep it to look at, she’s happy knowing you’ve kept it.
✮`,— Phenomaman .ᐟ.ᐟ
• Respectfully he has no clue what he’s doing, Robert and the others are already quite small, why are you smaller than them?
• After he learns you’re a teenager, or still a young child in his eyes, he’s making sure to keep you safe.
• This man will take other things you do as a sign but the actual hints won’t work, when he does confirm it he’s excited because he has a child now, so he has to show you off to everyone he can, dispatchers, other heroes and the public.
• Tries to train but is always a little too powerful so he gets others to help as well, but tries his best.
• Always searches for you around the SDN building, checks in how well the jobs are going. And when he starts buying the edible fruit arrangements, he moves from eating them to leaving them for you. (Always gets your favourite fruits)
• Sometimes he treats you like you're fragile, and to him you are.
• Enjoys picking you up, his first few times and his first thought is to scruff you, when you complain he moves to pick you up under your arms. That eventually morphs into you sitting on his shoulder or just hanging off his arm.
• I fear you’re probably being dragged into acting for some SDN advertisements, but he’s happy that you’re doing it with him.
✮`,— Waterboy .ᐟ.ᐟ
• I fear he panics, notices quickly but is in denial, because ‘would you choose him? He’s grateful but him?’
• Doesn’t really come across as parental but he tries, even if they’re all shot down/teased by the team. This doesn’t stop him checking in when you return from a job.
• I hope you don’t mind some water.. Okay it might be a little more than ‘some’, as he always drips some onto you.
• Really wants to introduce you to his grandmother but instantly becomes worried, if you assure him he will introduce you two. Voice dropping as he says ‘t-this is my… k-k-kid..,’ she loves you so don’t worry.
Hii could you possibly do dispatch w/ Fem!Muscular!Reader who is Roberts partner or fiance? Like Robert drops the fact he has a partner, nobody believes him, then que Reader who came because Robert forgot to bring a jacket on a cold day n the team is just left wondering how he even bagged her. White boy rizz ig. Also just a bit extra, could reader be the slightest bit rough w him? Just like messing up his hair or pulling him into a bear hug? It’s ok if you can’t do any part of this request! Have a good day :}
"Huh. You were being serious." - Robert Robertson x Muscular Fem! Reader
A/n - Finally getting the time to write again then my break is over! Hah, but I'm definitely going to be doing more requests again and try to be more frequent. I've seen a couple other people do this request but, this is my spin on it! This looks a little shorter but still Soo fun! (I feel like I've been saying that the past few times I've put a fic on here lmao!) Also, Golem is so underappreciated I love him.
It started with jokes and theories.
"There's no way he's had a girlfriend or anything..."
"I mean, look at him. He's a bitch."
Sometimes, just nicknames.
"whatever, bitchless!"
Robert didn't want all this to continue, it wasn't even true. He had you, after all. His amazing, beefed up, girlfriend. So, after a couple jokes, comments, names...Robert spoke up.
"I do actually have a girlfriend." He said.
Everyone erupted in laughter. No one could believe that.
"Let me guess...she goes to another school?" Punch up said, referencing what school-boys say when they lie about having a girlfriend. Everyone laughed at that.
"She gotta be imaginary or something." Prism laughed.
Everyone else also started clowning on him. Why would they believe Robert had bagged someone? I mean, he isn't the most particularly attractive guy. He's average at most, and the way he sung your praises a couple times. Yeah. His girlfriend had to have been fake.
Until...A few months later. It was a winter day, a pretty cold one too. But, Robert had forgotten his jacket as his alarm did not go off and was (almost) late for work! So, once he was settled in he needed a savior with his jacket. Plus, this would be a good way to actually prove that he had a partner, so they'd stop making fun of him. So, Robert texted you.
"heyyy, gorgeous!"
"can I ask you a favor?"
He double texted, as he usually did. So, obviously, you replied and asked him what this favor was.
"SOOO, I was rushing this morning and I ended up forgetting my jacket! Could you bring me one please?"
You agreed because you loved him...and you weren't busy.
You got his jacket and drove to the SDN headquarters, you had to answer a couple questions and whatever before being allowed to enter... But, lo and behold! You were now in there. You texted Robert, asking him of his whereabouts. Which, ended up being the conference room with the Z-Team.
You went in there and threw Robert his jacket, which he caught...even though you low-key wanted it to land on his head...but whatever.
"here, goofy!" You playfully said, while throwing it.
"thanks!" He responded.
You walked up and gave him a small smooch, that he did give you one back while the Z-Team did not expect this...or you, to be real.
"see, guys. My girlfriend is not fake." Robert clarified.
Everyone was in awe and shock...I mean look at you!
"Huh. You were being serious." Malevola responded.
"Damn." Flambae added.
"How'd he get her? Look at her, then, look at him!" Prism commented.
"She's just doin' charity work." Golem replied.
"She's not 'just doing charity work.' But..." Robert went back to their meeting. But, no one really forgot this. You were too good for him and everyone (including himself) knew that.
OP PLSS I NEED CONTINUATION TO ROBERT "SHUT UP DAD" ROBERTSON 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
I just love imagining it with the rest of z-team being like "guess they are his kid now" and tease the fuck out of Robert for it
robert “yeah i’m a dad.” robertson who knew you meant it that as an insult. he saw how you tried to have venom in your voice as you yelled he wasn’t your dad. however, that didn’t change the fact that he still needed to have patience and control over the situation.
robert “yeah i’m a dad.” robertson got added to a group chat a few hours later named ‘big daddy rob’ by prism. she and a few other members decided now was the time to publicly embarrass robert since they couldn’t do it while you were there. a few baby daddy and child support jokes were thrown, but no real harm behind the comments.
robert “yeah i’m a dad.” robertson actually stepped foot into a grocery store. not a gas station or convenient store, an actual grocery store like jewel osco. he picked up a few ingredients, he wanted to make a sandwich for lunch tomorrow. when he got home, he had placed the two sandwiches inside a brown bag. the next day he found you in the break room, munching on a bag of chips. he sighed before he set the bag down and pulled out his lunch, he noticed how you eyed the food before returning back to your show. he slid the second sandwich your direction, you took it without a second thought. the two of you ate in silence.
robert “yeah i’m a dad.” robertson who heard a camera shutter and sneakers running out of the break room, he let out a quick sigh. he saw how you didn’t notice courtney, you seemed so unbothered just wanting to eat your food in peace. he wanted to make sure that you aren’t being harassed by other members of the Z-team, you’re still a kid who shouldn’t have to deal with the immaturity of the adults around you.
robert “yeah i’m a dad.” robertson who announced a meeting after lunch with the Z-team, prism telling you about it with a smirk. you nodded before making your way to the conference room, robert stopping you. “wait, i meant the adults kid.” you scoffed, crossing your arms. “what’s going on? i’m apart of this team too shouldn’t i know?” robert gently patted your shoulder, an apologetic look in his eyes, “it’s nothing super important, just something for the rest of the team to be aware about. you don’t have to worry about anything, just go and enjoy an extra break before we send you out for another mission.” you stomped off, it wasn’t worth fighting with him. you hated being treated like a stupid four year old who can’t do anything on their own, you didn’t need robert to baby you.
robert “yeah i’m a dad.” robertson during the meeting makes it painfully clear no one is to make fun of you. obviously they weren’t, well some would do light teasing but seeing how serious robert was made them forget the idea entirely. the team thought robert wouldn’t take the whole ‘dad’ incident to heart but they were surely wrong. it was actually kinda nice to see how much he cared about the youngest member, even if you didn’t like it.
robert “yeah i’m a dad.” robertson who saw you waiting outside of the SDN, looking around. he watched and waited inside, noticing how you kept checking your phone. eventually you sat on the curb, looking at the cars passing. he saw how your head would turn quickly if a certain color car passed by. he walked outside before patting your head, catching your attention before he motion with his keys “need a ride home?”
robert “yeah i’m a dad.” robertson who drove you to a quick fast food restaurant, after he asked if you’ve eaten anything besides the sandwich he got you. your silence was painfully loud, robert made a quick detour as he stopped by a mcdonald’s. he payed and grabbed your bag before continuing to drop you off. eventually he realized you never gave him much directions after a bit, he stopped the car.
robert “yeah i’m a dad.” robertson who heard you come clean about not having a steady place to stay. he heard you were couch surfing at a few friends house after getting out of juvenile detention, and one was supposed to pick you up then bailed last minute. he watched as you tried not to get too emotional while talking, but he could hear the strain in your voice and the way your eyes slightly watered.
robert “yeah i’m officially a dad.” robertson after a couple of months on trying to get the court to agree, officially adopted you. he was an official dad of a teenager, which is still crazy to say outloud. the apartment grew more then just having one single chair in the middle. eventually there were two beds, some bluey plushies on one, and the plastic chair upgraded to two wooden chairs. there was a dinner table, an actual fridge and some hanged pictures one the walls. a few were robert from when he was younger, some more recent with you and beef, then your adoption certificate he probably should’ve had in a safe place. robert didn’t care though, he wanted to show off that he was a real dad.
robert “yeah i’m officially a dad.” robertson who broke the cycle and is always there for you. he would never ever want you to become the next mecha man unless you wanted too. robert who’s really excited to see who you’re going to to become the older you get, and officially registered you into school. you’re not cut from SDN but you work part time now on certain days.
robert “yeah i’m officially a dad.” robertson who can sleep peacefully knowing that you and beef are there with him when he wakes up.
Okay but like, with "Shut up dad" Robertson, imagine the first the kid ever says I love you to him.
•─────⋅☾⊱♰⊰☽⋅─────•
there was two times where robert roberson had heard you say “i love you dad.” or “i love you.” in general. he never forgets them, while you were embarrassed because they slipped out naturally.
the first time it ever happened was when he bought you a new phone case. attached the case was a photo of you, robert and beef smiling outside of the court house. the genuine happiness on the both of your faces was caught that day, robert even asked a stranger to quickly take a picture of the three of you. soft sniffles came from your nose, you quickly rubbed your eyes as you hugged him tightly. robert nearly fell over before regaining his balance and returning your hug. he heard a muffled voice, but the words he’ll never forget. “i love you dad.” robert tried not to cry himself as he held you tightly, standing and hugging each other for half an hour. tears and silence mixed together.
the second time was when he was dropping you off to school. he finally was able to enroll you into a high school that didn’t care about your juvenile history and looked past your behavior. you sat in his car, staring as other teens your age walked inside with their own friends. he saw you clutch your backpack, and your lips trembled. you turned your head and before the words even came out robert was fast to respond; “no you’re not missing the first day of school. some people might been new like you, maybe you can be their friends.” he smiled softly, trying to comfort you. he noticed his words were slightly overlooked as you stared at the entrance. you mumbled something inaudible, robert cleared his throat then you repeated yourself. “what if no one likes me?”
robert saw the look in your eyes, the way you were on the verge of tears before avoiding eye contact. he paused before wrapping an arm around you, catching your attention. “we can go home, it’s only the first day anyways. but the school is more strict on how many days you can miss kid, so are you sure?” he saw your mental debate before you unbuckled your seatbelt. robert was shocked, but supported you as you hesitated on opening the car door. you turned around and gave him a hug before mumbling a quick “i love you dad, i’ll walk home.” you got out of the car, closing the door before crossing the road and stopping at the sidewalk. you made sure to get out of other people’s way as you stare at robert’s car. he smiled before giving you a wave goodbye, you waved back before turning around and heading inside the school. robert never felt so proud and emotional in his life, watching his only child go to school by themselves.
no, he didn’t let you walk home alone. even if he couldn’t get off work after 3:30pm, he sent prism to pick you up. a few teens watched in shock as she rolled up in her car, blasting music. you stood embarrassed, pretending you didn’t see her. she honked her horn repeatedly until you quickly rushed into the car. she smiled and drove off, dropping you off at SDN where robert was waiting outside. he smiled softly as you got out of the car and made your way towards him, before he could even ask how your day went you immediately snitched; “prism embarrassed me in front of the whole school when she picked me up, robert!” he sighed before he watched her drive off for a mission he knew he didn’t dispatch her for. he took your backpack and slung it over his shoulder, rubbing your back soothingly.
the next day at school other teens had mentioned the incident, not to make fun of you but to compliment. “dude that’s so kickass you have a literal superhero pick you up after school, do you think blonde blazer will do it today?” someone asked, you hesitate before shrugging your shoulders. after the small talk, you immediately texted robert.
kiddo 🤫🧏
robert. blonde blazer needs to pick me up after school it’s not up for debate. 10:09 am ✓
i know damn well i’m not paying for you to go to school only for you to be on your phone. i’ll see what i can do with blazer but PAY ATTENTION !! 10:11 am ✓ seen
you smile to yourself, before returning back to your history lessons. you looked to the side of the window, noticing a quick flash of yellow and blue outside. you meant afterschool, but if leaving early meant getting out of history, you didn’t mind one bit.

“hey kid, what type of sandwich did you want? i’m having flambae stop by subway to drop off your lunch. yeah i know your a junior but i don’t want you leaving school yourself to get subway. anyways so chips or no?”
a/n: dadbert.. dadbert i want subway too also inspo from my mom cuz she texts exactly how robert does lol
could you perhaps do robert with a teen who has a mentally abusive father and he sees himself in them and tries to care for them because in one way or another, that teen needs fatherly love, someone to care for them because their biological father isnt doing it (and if you could, could the teen be a civilian? just like he sees their father treating them badly and then when he finds them alone he comforts them, or like someone calls sdn because cps isnt doing anything about it)

you were remind since day one you weren’t wanted. he didn’t have to hit you, his words and expressions on his face would just tell you. from the day you were born from the day you were taken away, you were never wanted. one average man was about to change that.
sitting in a office of a famous superhero wasn’t what you expected, you thought foster care or an adoption center would pick you up. instead, you were graced with blonde blazers soft smile and calming voice, whispering “everything’s gonna be alright.” into your ear as she lead you through the workplace down to her office. sitting in silence, you looked around trying to make sense of everything.
the door clicks as you turned around, next to blazer was a man with light brown hair, a poorly shaved beard and eyes so tired you thought he’d drop dead asleep right in front of you. his eyes though, they seemed so expressive as he looked at you. the way they lingered, it was like he saw something in you, he wasn’t looking past like your own father did. he smiled before walking over slowly and pulling out his hand, “hey kid, we’re gonna take care of you from now on, okay?”
robert, you learned his name, never let you out of his sight. in a way it was scary, but also you knew it was meant out of endearment. he wanted to make sure you were seen, and it was a nice feeling. he made you feel wanted, that someone is taking the time out of their day to even pay an ounce of attention to you. it made you feel warm in your stomach, and anxious because this was something new.
you’re a minor, obviously they can’t give you your own apartment complex unless you become emancipated which would take forever. news got around that you needed a quick place to stay, blazer was actually going to let you hangout at her place before robert quickly offered. she was hesitant at first, but slowly agreed. all he needed to do was provide proper housing by the end of the day and you could go home with him. he quickly took the rest of the day off to buy a bed and a few other items for you.
you stood inside his apartment awkwardly, you had no idea where to stand or what to do with your arms. he watched you put them in your pocket, then back out. he smiled and motioned for you to follow him to the bed. you sat down as he sat in front of you on the floor, beef walking over and sitting on your lap. robert cleared his throat, “i hope you know i’m really happy you’re here. i’m sorry that you had to go through any of that, everyone deserves love and happiness.” he paused. “i grew up, not like you, but i felt alone. my dad never hit me, but he was never there.” he pointed at his ear “i got this for messing around with one of his.. tools and it cut my ear. when he found me and my babysitter, he saw how much i was crying and the blood on my shirt. he told me to get up, and from that day forward i knew how he viewed me.” you mumbled an apology to him, robert smiled “not your fault kid, my point is that not all parent deserve a child, i mean your dad clearly doesn’t. you seem like an amazing kid who can do a lot in life, and i wanna help you become the best version of yourself you can be.”
ever since that day, robert has been your number one support. emotionally, mentally and physically. he makes sure to check up on you regularly through text or in real life. he even got the Z-team to send you messages, notbing crazy just random conversations.
there was one time you got sick, like throwing up sick and he couldn’t stay home. so in between missions he’d send out a few members to check up on you; he even left beef at home so you weren’t by yourself. alice brought you soup, comforting you the best of her abilities. courtney tried to help you throw up, even though she was going to as well just by watching. chad came by and gave some.. words of encouragement. small things like this make you feel so loved and seen by others, you’re grateful robert has been there for you. he reminds you everyday that there’ll always be brighter days ahead.

“i bet you were an absolute angel growing up.”
a/n: i’m actually falling inlove w dad!robert this is breaking my heart
being adopted means having a responsible parent, and that means not doing whatever you want anymore. there were rules, boundaries, not being allowed to go out at 3am to get food. these were only a few of the shocks you’d have to face with having robert as your father.
“i’m just going out to get something, i’ll be back soo—“ robert stood in front of the door, his arms crossed. “look, it’s too late to be going out and you never know whose out there. we can go out tomorrow but for now, you’re staying here.” you groan and try to push past him, robert quickly pulled you up and walked you to your room. he set you down gently on to the bed, giving you a goodnight kiss on the forehead. “goodnight kid, i love you and i’ll take you to the store tomorrow.” he closed the door, leaving you to lay down and stare at the wall.
robert leaned on the wall as you tried to tip toe your way over to the door. he stayed quiet before turning on the light, flashing you as you covered your eyes. “going somewhere?” he rose an eyebrow, staring dead at you. staring quiet, your nose scrunched up as you began to walk back to your room. robert watched you march back to your bedroom, before he turned off the light and headed back to his room. he made sure to keep a flashlight next to his bed.
a loud ‘crash!’ and a groan was heard as robert gasped and ran to your room. he looked around and stared at the empty bed, his heart racing as he looked over at the open window. he ran over to the window before spotting you laying down on the grass with a blanket under you. his heart dropped as he ran downstairs and quickly picked you up. “what happened? what did you do?!” he shook you awake as you mumbled. “can we go to the store now?”he sighed heavily before carrying you back inside, your groans and complaints heard. you tried to push him off of you, but your weakened state from literally jumping out the window only tired your more.
the next day there was a note, a bag and breakfast made on the counter. the note read— ‘make sure you don’t go overboard, and don’t jump out anymore windows. love you :) -robert’ inside the bag were the snacks and chips you’ve wanted since last night. he even got your favorite drink, this made you smile softly as you began to eat your breakfast. when robert returned home he found the house cleaned and tided-up, the clothes were even folded and left on his bed. he found you passed out next to an open chip bag and an energy drink. beef licked your cheek and hands, trying to eat the leftover dust on you.
Hi, hope everything is well! I was wondering if you wrote for flambae? If so, if you could write like something with him being (gn) teen reader's big brother! Thank you!

a lot of people around the office thought he was a dick, and chad didn’t help his situation by acting like one to prove he isn’t a dick. despite the glares, snarky remarks, or attitude he catches from others, he still manages to come out on top. what he didn’t think however, was trying to become a hero meant he was also becoming an older brother.
on the younger side, if anything chad tried to stay relatively close to you. he already had a niece younger then you, if no one was watching her he’d be pissed and scared. chad kept a close eye on you during missions, even telling or more like yelling at robert to; “keep us on the same missions or i’ll burn you alive.” you were confused, because dickhead chad was being.. nice and concerned towards you? it was really weird seeing him get worked up and argue with other members. the second he spots you, he grows quiet or does a quick check up to see if you’re alright. there’s been some times where you genuinely like you’ve gotten a new family member.
“aye kid, watch out for the—“ an extremely loud metallic ‘bang!’ was heard as you hit your head against a stop sign. chad quickly pulled you back and held your head, as he checked for any signs for a concussion. he heard your groans, and saw the tears that prickled in your eyes. he sighed before calling robert unwillingly before muttering into his ear piece. “aye bobert, the kid hit their head really hard. i’m sending them back to SDN and i don’t want them on anymore missions today and tomorrow.” for the first time since robert started working at SDN, he heard genuine concern and sincerity in chads voice. it took him off guard before he replied with a quick ‘alright, send them over.’ before the line was cut off.
you didn’t know who carried you back, but you avoided everyone like the plague. you’re still a teen, but to be judged, or shamed because you weren’t watching where you were going is on top of your mind right now. you sat in the infirmary, using your phone to see how bad the bump was. it wasn’t too big, but not small either, throughout the day you covered your head and quickly walked past members. robert took notice, sending you a message that you’ll be let go for today and tomorrow. you groaned to yourself, you didn’t need to benched for a small scratch, you tried to argue with him but robert made up his mind.
kicking the near by trashcan, you walked to the locker room, no one should be there which is perfect. you’d grab your stuff and leave, preparing for your two day benching before someone slammed your locker closed. you began to sweat nervously and turned, being flashing with a orange and black suit. you look up slowly with a sheepish expression, chad didn’t look amused at all. you gulped before mumbling a tiny ‘hi’ but chad was quick to respond, “hi. do you wanna explain how stupid you were or should i assume you can’t see correctly? should i get roebrt to schedule you an appointment with the eye doctor?” he growled. you shake your head, looking down as chad huffed and hit the back of your head gently. he walked out of the locker room, he stopped his tracks before turning back to you. “i’ll stop by and visit, and if you’re not there and i find you out on the streets trying to be a hero? i’ll personally melt you to your bed.” the threat made you nod and smile slightly, before he walks out.
chad had a soft spot for strays, is he the best at giving them warm welcomes? no, anyone is better at that then him. however, he’s always there to make sure you’re alright.
