z-team’s favorite civvie (pt 2) //

tbh i might just make this a little series because it popped off last time and i get SO. many ideas for these throughout the day. written as poly! z-team but you can take it as individual hcs if u want :3

❌ warnings: swearing, game violence, suggestive content

❣️pairings: gn!civilian!reader x (polycule) z-team

👤 characters: sonar, flambae, robert robertson, waterboy, punch-up, prism, malevola, coupè, invisigal

The Z-Teamers, who would go through hell and high water for their local beloved civilian. The same ones that pampered you til you were red in the face, and the same ones that annoyed the living hell out of you.

After meeting them, it seemed like you couldn’t shake them from your world anymore. Torrance seemed like a place where you wouldn’t be running into the same nine people every couple of days, but it was hard to miss these particular people out and about, and it was even harder after you had decided to become invested with all of them.

Flambae will go out of his way to stop by where you’re working after one of his missions to brag about how well it went, never failing to point out the uniform you’re forced to wear, “You’re lucky you’re hot because that apron is fucking ugly as hell.”

You call Robert on your break at work, complaining to him about a customer that had been rude to you just before you called him. He asks what he looks like and you tell before it goes quiet on the other end, faint typing being heard before Robert has this guys information pulled up, hacking into and fucking up something of his that wasn’t important enough to be considered malicious, but annoying enough that it made you feel avenged.

Malevola, Prism and Invisigal will all put in orders at your shop with their very recognizable names with some absolutely absurd order, (imagine some 20+ shot, three-milk, 10 add on type coffee drink) just to fuck with you.

Coupè, Sonar, Flambae and Waterboy rotate who picks you up from work— flying heroes do the job faster but Waterboy really likes the drive with you and you can’t deny him that. (Mal will also occasionally just portal you to the offices but that’s a ‘once in a blue moon’ type thing)

They aren’t actually all that jealous as a group when it comes to each other but they will give each other shit all the time. You’re all going to the bar and Flambae tries to get ahead, letting everyone else get their drinks while he gets only yours and his. When he says the order though, Prism stops him.

“That’s not the drink they like.”

“What the fuck are you talking about? We come here all the time, I know their drink.”

“Bitch, no you don’t, that’s not their drink.”

They both turn to you for confirmation and you have to give the point to Prism, who is immediately cackling in victory, waving Flambae off as she puts in the proper order for you.

Everyone is sharing everything when you go out to eat. You and Robert are the only exceptions to get specific orders but if you don’t specify? Your food is just as likely to get a piece snatched from it as everyone else’s.

You’re in charge of the aux 24/7. They kept fighting about what music to listen to whenever you’d go out as a group so you got put in charge of that choice. You now play mostly normal music, but you throw in a song that everybody despises just to hear them all groan.

You get off work early because your day has just been terrible and the team can sense it the second you walk into the offices and they’re immediately all over you, cooing and making sure you’re okay,

“Poor baby, let’s get you home,”

“Yeah, we’ll be back later, we’re gonna take them home.”

There’s pictures of you and the team members all over the SDN offices— Robert keeps pictures hung up in his cubicle, there’s a bulletin board in the break room that has various polaroids of you and different Z-Teamers, even Blonde Blazer has a group picture of you and the team in her office. Everybody knows you.

Obviously you have a group chat with the Z-Team and it’s a fucking nightmare. No one can agree on the chat name, all Prism does is send emoji’s and gifs and Coupè communicates exclusively through voice messages. They also, however, send you pictures of them during missions, when they’re at the offices— literally anytime they think of you— with tons of hearts and affectionate messages. So it balances out.

Punch-Up and Coupè are a couple on their own in my eyes idc if chase says “used to date” they’re still so obviously in love, so while they’re both part of the polycule, they’re more individually together but after you joined their group they started inviting you to what used to be just their hangouts and so you’ve got that extra special little bond.

You have so many trinkets from them. You are dating a group of crows, actually, crows who will collect memorabilia from their missions and bring it home for you and you will always accept every single one without fail.

So we know hero merch exists in the Dispatch universe— I imagine the Phoenix Program heroes get promotional merchandise (esp after all the shroud stuff), so of course you buy some little keychain or trinket representing each of them 🙂‍↕️

“team building exercise” except it’s just all of you sat up in one of your living rooms watching a movie in pjs. i yearn for domestic polycule z team.

❣️ valentine’s day special // hcs

to cope with the fact that flambae (and co.) are not real and therefore i cannot spend a valentines day with him 🫩 and because i think they deserve a celebration <3

❌ warnings: swearing, general suggestive content

❣️pairings: gn! reader x z team (exceptions being m!reader for flambae as always)

👤 characters: sonar, flambae, robert robertson, waterboy, punch-up, prism, malevola, coupè, invisigal

Sonar

has been dreaming of this moment. he wants to do all the cliche valentines stuff but he will SWEAR he doesn’t want to.

would always insist that he didn't like all the cheesy, traditional gifts, but you were shopping together one day and he stopped in his tracks as you walked by those giant hearts of chocolates

he just looks at you with the saddest, wettest eyes you've ever seen, then hits you with a “if you wanna get it for me... i wouldn't be mad."

big roses guy. makes a big show about giving you a valentines rose— swears it’s the pinnacle of romance

will surprise you with flowers/chocolates/gifts set up on the counter the morning of and an incredibly sweet letter (which he makes you promise not to read in front of him)

asking to take you to bed four times an hour. he knows what this holiday is for. once you finally say yes he is scooping you into his arms and RUNNING to your bedroom.

there’s rose petals all over the bed btw. and candles. he’s a liar when he says he hates being cliche. he loves that he has you to celebrate with

will call places ahead of time and bribe them to give you extra special service/attention

let him feed u chocolate strawberries PLEASE that is the one cliche thing he’ll admit to wanting to do

Flambae

loves valentine’s day. are you joking. he did not think he would but now? you got him worrying about gifts and flower arrangements.

obviously he’s going to love getting to dote on you for the entire day, but he doesn’t expect to be doted on back and the fact that you reciprocate still does things to him that he doesn’t understand.

every time he sees you throughout the day (especially if you work at SDN), you’re getting kissed. probably more than kissed if you do work at SDN. like a lot of closet makeouts

he will be getting one of those giant teddy bears for you. the only corny cliche gift he will get without hesitation.

loves valentines date night. getting to dress up and parade you around on the day where everyone knows you’re together? yes please.

used to think that he wouldn’t find somebody to celebrate the day with given, well, how he is, so he never bothered to think about it. but you never even second guessed your feelings, so valentines is also a way for him to show you how thankful he is for you.

will not keep his hands off you for the whole day. ranging from mostly innocent contact to what would be an HR violation if you two were caught.

has a lot of bravado when giving gifts, his ego is already massive and he knows you’ll love your gifts, but when you give him an actual, non-commercial, special gift? he’s actually not gonna be able to form the right words.

you can go out on a little date but when it comes to The Valentines Dinner, he’s going to be cooking for you— no way around it.

Robert

does he have the money to take you out to a fancy dinner? no. but he CAN hack into the restaurants system and put you two on the reservations

lowkey he forgets valentines… he’s got a lot going on his days are messy!

you ask him what the plans are for the day and he looks at you like a deer in headlights,

“Plans? Is there something going on?”

you give him the look and he immediately clocks what day it is— he got your valentines gifts and things for the day, he just didn’t realize that was today… will be apologizing all day and giving you a lot of makeup kisses.

you will be getting both a card from him, and a card (that he made) from beef

doesn’t expect the night to end with sleeping together; would be just as content with curling up on the couch and falling asleep to some shitty romcom.

Waterboy

makes you the CUTEST. homemade gifts. scrapbook of every time you’ve spent time together outside of work? done. origami hearts and a jar of post it notes containing things he loves about you

he’s baking your favorite dessert for you 🙂‍↕️

wants to do all the cliche things because he doesn’t want to feel like he missed anything with you, shows up to your house in a suit and tie with a bouquet of roses

gift basket enthusiast!! he’ll get you a basket of your favorite drinks, snacks, new blankets/pajamas/whatever he knows you’ve been wanting

SUPER romantic in a very classy/traditional sense;

takes you out to an evening picnic or on a horse drawn carriage ride

definitely will just wordlessly take your hand and start dancing with you in the living room at the end of the night 🙂‍↕️

forehead kisses all throughout the day <3 he’s grabbing your face and kissing your forehead <3

please be the one to initiate intimacy. he is too nervous to make the first move but he’s almost shaking with anticipation by the end of the night

Punch-Up

is ALL about the holiday. not the commercial bullshit, though, he hates all of that.

but the man is a romantic, and he gets a whole day as an excuse to be romantic? of course he’s eating it up.

makes you breakfast in bed (and let’s be honest he’s gonna feed it to you.) and it comes with the most heartfelt love note you’ve ever seen.

complimenting you ALL day. the entire day you catch him swooning over you

every time you ask what he’s looking at, he just sighs all dreamy and goes “ah, yer just so beautiful/handsome.”

SUCH. a gentleman. so classy. he cleans up very well.

opens every door for you, pulls your chair out, kisses the top of your hand, all the works

you’re gonna get an insane night in bed and an even more insane morning of aftercare. i KNOW he pampers the hell out of his partner.

Prism

her phone is OFF. do not disturb ✔️ she’s busy.

she does take pictures occasionally just because she likes to document but her attention is completely on you

gets you something simple but lavish— full bottle of your favorite perfume/cologne, necklace with a genuine rock of your birthstone

SPOILS you, she talks you up the whole night and does not take her eyes off you no matter what you’re doing

i think that in daily life she would show you off to her followerrs, you’re definitely part of social media presence but on valentine’s i think she’s would choose to do something more lowkey and personal with you

she’s grabbing your face a lot. lots of squishing your cheeks and turning your head to look at her :pp

by the end of the night you’ve got blue lipstick marks ALL. over you. on your clothes, your shoulders, your neck, your forehead— silly little reminders everywhere

Malevola

tries to be very casual about the day

halfheartedly sets your chocolates/flowers/other gift down on your desk before crossing her arms, “Got you something. That’s what you’re supposed to do, right?”

her facade drops the INSTANT you take the gift, your face lighting up as you thank her, she can’t act nonchalant when you’re so excited

she is obviously grateful for the gifts you give her, but when she’s alone she will literally reread the “to malevola, love you <3” tag over and over until her face hurts from smiling. and she will be sending sonar pictures of what you get her.

do not try to keep secrets from her. she doesn’t like em. she will hound you with guesses until you give in.

get her matching things with you PLEASE. she will call you corny but she will also not leave her house without your gift to her

Coupè

cuts you the bouquet of flowers herself— each rose stem is ever so slightly tinged black from her knives

does not want to be around people on valentines— wants to spend time around you and only you

absolutely takes you on flights to nice and secluded scenic views, i think it’s something she’d do a lot on her own and she wants to share that time with you

is still not used to the concept of valentine’s day; incredibly suspicious of the random gift for her that just appeared one morning

you will have to give her a little crash course— she knows what valentines is and what it’s about but she’s never celebrated herself

not super into commercial gifts (similar to invisigal, she doesn’t think the holiday needs to be commercialized) but she has crow brain and will collect trinkets for you. it’s more important that she thought of you.

Invisigal

does not like valentine’s day— thinks it’s stupid to only have one day to really show off how you feel about somebody

that being said, she will accept whatever gifts you get her, but she’s always gonna throw in a “now do it any other day and i’ll be impressed”

get her something simple and practical, if it’s fancy or expensive it has to be something to really warrant it, otherwise she’ll give you shit for spending so much money

but if you get her a BIG ass, like, 1.5 pound bag of sour patch kids and a simple note that uses her real name? the most genuine smile you’ll get from her all day

speaking of real names, call her courtney. in letters, in bed, throughout the day. there’s something about hearing her name on your tongue <3

[bootsncatsnckck]

Giving Alice her flowers 🥰💐

Herman: Um.. they reminded me of you, so, so I grew some. F-for you.]

z-teams favorite civvie //

hcs for being a civilian in the dispatch world and everyone on the z team loves you like a little dog.

was just going to be individual hcs but i lowkey ended up writing it as a polycule z-team crushing on civilian!reader because that is just <the dream3 🙂‍↕️

❌ warnings: general game violence & swearing, suggestive content

❣️pairings: gn!civilian!reader x z-team

👤 characters: sonar, flambae, robert robertson, waterboy, punch-up, prism, invisigal, malevola, coupè

Imagine being in a non-hero civilian in LA. You’re not even in the crime response field whatsoever, you just work at a coffee shop nearby that the SDN staff frequent. You see all of the Z-Team heroes so frequently that you start to learn their orders, bringing them their coffee when it’s slow instead of waiting for them to get it, and they love their resident civvie.

Most people would report crimes to the cops, you call one of your heroes or go straight to SDN and the entire Z-Team is on the perpetrators ass. Magazine articles come out about these heroes and their secret civilian fling featuring various different pictures of you and the heroes spending time together.

You go out to get drinks with the team, everyone doing their own thing around the bar while you go to refill your drinks. While you’re up there, some drunk starts giving you the business and going off on you— but falls suddenly silent when he notices half the heroes in the bar have turned to face him and are focused on his every little movement.

Punch-Up and Flambae who are constantly trying to show off and one up each other to impress you, having things like strength competitions to frantically trying to be the one to make you laugh harder than the other.

Sonar, who is just as blatant about his flirting but will totally throw the other two under the bus about their feelings for you, throwing in an “I would never resort to showing off to impress you, it would just happen naturally.”

Waterboy and Robert start to show special attention to you whenever you come in. Waterboy will hold the door open for you and usher you into whatever room you’re headed for, Robert is always grabbing an extra vending machine snack for you when you drop by, (or he’s sharing half of whatever he has. no exceptions).

You’re walking home— it’s dark and you have to walk through a bad part of town, by yourself with no powers and no defenses. The minute a threat shows itself, a blade comes shooting down and knives the attacker perfectly in the shoulder, knocking them off their rhythm but not downing them. They move towards you one more time before being shot at by a beam of pure light straight to the eyes, two figures emerging from the shadows behind you. Prism and Coupè stand at your sides as the assailant runs away, rolling their eyes and clicking their tongues in disapproval.

“What the hell are you doing here alone at this time of night? There’s freaks everywhere.”

That’s when you found out that they were all very aware of your dangerous route through bad streets to your slightly less sketchy home and may or may not have been keeping an eye out for this exact reason.

Malevola starts making portals for you to get to/from places so you don’t have to worry about criminals, traffic or weather anymore (and so she can log extra time with you).

They’ll start to get bolder when you don’t reject their advances, there was 100% infighting in the team because of you before it was decided that “the best team member wins” and they all double down on trying to court you. Once you notice what they’re all doing, you decide to give them a taste of their own medicine; flirting back with them, squeezing their arms or letting your gaze linger for a little too long.

However it happens, it comes out that you don’t think you could choose just one of them out of the entire group that you’ve become so close with. Luckily they’ve been learning how to share.

Now it becomes a fight for who gets more of your attention with your quick visits. Flambae starts to go off route just to stop by your work (“It’s on the way, anyways.”) Waterboy was the first to get further than just flirting, he was holding the door open for you like usual as you left the building, so you gave him a quick thank-you kiss as you left and his face got so red there was steam coming off him in massive waves.

Invisigal and Sonar, who will drop whatever responsibilities they currently had to fool around with you at the offices. You’ve got ten minutes until your break is over? They will be occupying that next ten minutes without a doubt. They just finished a mission? They’re swinging by your shop to get some celebratory sugar before they head back to work.

All of them begin to get more and more casual with affection in the offices. You and Punch-Up are in the break room chatting over coffee and during your time you manage to receive two kisses on the head (Robert and Waterboy), three on the cheek (Flambae, Prism and Invisigal), one on the collarbone (Sonar) and three different hues of lipstick on your skin as the other team members come in and out of the break room.

They are constantly talking about you, constantly excited to see you in the offices, and now you have a group of nine superheroes completely wrapped around your finger.

living together // hcs

for my irl that said “what if they did laundry” when i asked for z-team writing ideas 🫩 so what IF they did laundry. (and more)

very general domestic headcanons :p

❌ no warnings :p this one is silly and wholesome

👤 characters: sonar, flambae, robert robertson, waterboy, punch-up, prism, blonde blazer, malevola, coupè, invisigal

Sonar

you have to do all the grocery shopping because he has the most Single Man fridge in the world because he doesn’t cook so he doesn’t buy ingredients

does all the laundry because he likes his clothes done a very specific way (and he might as well just do yours while he’s at it 🙄)

super sensitive to sound when he’s trying to sleep. will wear earplugs just to sleep next to you.

Flambae

early riser. like, EARLY. riser. you could wake up at four in the morning and he’s not in bed because he’s working out or making himself food or something.

definitely has a lot of really nice blankets and throw pillows and definitely will get incredibly a little annoyed if you treat them like Regular Blankets.

get ready to sleep with the windows open and fans surrounding you 24/7 because this man runs hot and refuses to sleep in any way other than wrapped around you.

Robert

saved every piece of fan mail he ever got and keeps it in a folder in his kitchen drawer; you stumbled onto it and reread every single one of them with robert.

keeps lint rollers all over the place because beef sheds a lot. always has one on hand.

will start laundry but will never finish it. he forgets and lets clothes get mildewy and has to redo the whole cycle. he is really trying.

Waterboy

he’s cuddling with you 24/7, once you’re living in the same house he becomes your shadow in a ‘velcro cat’ kind of way

i think he would have a lot of fidget toys. this man stims. offers you a variety of stress toys when he notices you picking at your skin or biting your lips.

he keeps a phone album of things he saw during work to show you. every single day, without fail, when he gets home you’re going to hear “i saw something that made me think of you!”

Punch-Up

loves to help you get ready for things. help zipping your dress? yes ma’am. help tying your tie? he’s on it. acts of service is this man’s love language.

watches a lot of documentaries and keeps them playing in the background more often than not.

you have to play critic for him when he cooks— will check after adding every seasoning, every strong ingredient— just to make sure that it’ll be peak for both of you.

dispatch ladies

Prism

lost your headphones? no you didn’t! she has ten extras of various types :3

gives you fashion advice in the most blunt but helpful way. she will tell you if something is unflattering but will immediately counter it with five styles that would look good on you.

makes you stream with her/ be a part of her online presence. talks you up to her followers, is always slyly taking silly pictures or videos of you to look back on or post.

Blonde Blazer

the typa gal to leave sticky notes everywhere, they range from reminders you need to just simple “love you”’s with a smiley face.

get ready to be the little spoon because she will not budge on her big spoon position.

does most of the chores around the house just out of habit but lowkey (highkey) acts of service is her receiving love language and if she comes home and you’ve done all of the chores in the house unprompted she’s gonna fall in love all over again.

Malevola

that tail of hers is yankin you around every which way. it’s got a mind of its own and that mind loves you.

shows affection by being physically aggressive. she will tackle you onto the couch, give you noogies, hug you til she crushes you. she bites.

she loves to watch and criticize movies, you’ll put in the corniest horror movie and make fun of it together the whole time it’s playing

Coupè

you are her receptacle for whatever story she’s currently reading. you haven’t even looked at the inside of the book but you know the characters and the plot front to back because she keeps you updated.

you have to dial back on the sarcasm with her a little bit because she takes everything at face value and if you say something fully confidently, as if it’s absolutely true, she will believe you without question.

you don’t need anything from your bed because she has the most comfortable, satin and silk draped bed. the sheets are freezing and the blanket is weighted and it’s heaven.

Invisigal

she’s scaring you all the time. sorry but she absolutely takes advantage of being able to turn invisible and hides around the corner to startle you at every opportunity.

you will never be planning anything— ever. she doesn’t do plans, everything she does is spontaneous and she WILL be dragging you along with her.

you’re gonna have to do the dishes because this is not a woman that does dishes. most of her cutlery/dish ware is just paper plates to save on the hassle of cleaning the dishes.

[yuubercharge]

public service alert my inbox is opennnnn if you have any suggestions or ideas that you wanna see pls pls pls send them in ok thank u love u <3

sonar headcanons 🦇 //

i’ve been falling asleep to cr1tikal streams once again since playing dispatch and it still is so funny to me that they just put charlie in a game but in bat form so i’m having thoughts about batboner because of it. enjoy. :p

everyone say thank u moistcr1tikal to voicing sonar because he’s the entire reason i started playing the game and got the hyperfixation parasite

actively buys into meme coins completely unironically. he’s positive that some day he’ll get in on the scam but he gets rug pulled every time.

pretends to understand sports. calls fouls at work and calls robert “ref” for the bit.

big nickname guy just for like general conversation, things like boss, bud, brother— he doesn’t call anybody by their actual name ever.

talks just like cr1tikal does, uses words like jinkies and wowza and silly vocabulary.

watches bad movies and complains about how bad they are but won’t just stop watching shitty movies.

kind of a crazy singer. not a pop star by any means but listen to this and tell me you can’t imagine Sonar fucking this up on karaoke.

a big tv/movie guy but all his favorite are just some of the worst works you’ve ever seen and he completely unironically adores them.

scared of bugs. if they’re able to fly, he’s out.

talks on malevola’s behalf all the time, if she’s on a mission and she gets mentioned or her talents would’ve been better suited, sonar will not shut the hell up about it. “oh, malevola could’ve taken care of that so much faster, shame she’s back at the office.” he loves his bestie.

yeah speaking of malevola they’ve made out before. like, a lot. not an item by any means but there’s obviously something more than platonic friendship.

has had multiple HR complaints filed against him because he keeps taking robert’s fucking twinkies. they say “sonar. do not touch.” but he swears he never saw any writing on them.

pc gamer except he’s terrible at games. will wear his headset and talk shit while mal plays the game for him to seem cool.

doodles all over everything. the type of guy to write “sonar was here” on other people (robert)’s paperwork, leave sticky notes with poorly drawn z-team members and dick drawings everywhere.

grooms himself like a cat because bats do that. he puts all his energy into people not seeing him instinctively scratching at his ears like a cat because god knows what the team would do with that information, but he definitely does it.

my personal headcanon is that sonar is a fruit-bat hybrid (because most mega bats are), but i think he’s specifically part Golden Crowned Flying Fox, because;

what the hell is that. that’s the sonar hybrid.

sonar 🤝 nice suits. this man loves a nicely pressed suit, matching tie, just the general vibe. he feels straight out of wolf of wall street.

real good at playing cards (even when he isn’t cheating).

[smoothie-needed02]

I saw this image and it reminds me of Flambert in a way. ⚠️TW: SUGGESTIVE⚠️

therapy dog //

the z-team and how they are with beef because i know that entire team is obsessed with that dog.

❌ no warnings :]

👤 characters: sonar, flambae, waterboy, punch-up, phenomeman, prism, blonde blazer

(robert not included because beef is his dog. we all know how much he loves his little man.)

dispatch boys

Sonar isn’t sure of Beef at first— Beef isn’t quite sure of him, either. He looks like he should be human, but he’s very much a bat, and Beef doesn’t like that. But after Robert brings Beef around so often, he gets used to Sonar, and Sonar is the only one that he really plays with. Sonar will do the little foot stomps as Beef runs up to him, snorting and biting at his feet, juking him out and letting Beef chase him around a bit before scratching his head.

Flambae is an animal person in my mind— but listen. I mean that in the way that animals fucking love him and he hates it. When Beef is in the office, he is ALL over Flambae, barking for his attention, weaving between his feet. His has tripped Flambae one too many times and every single time, Flambae goes to snap at Beef and sees his silly little face and immediately just sighs and rolls his eyes.

“You’re lucky you’re fucking cute.”

Waterboy and Beef are best friends, actually. Robert and Waterboy hang out outside of work frequently, so he’s gotten to know Beef very well. He definitely is the type who always has treats on him when he goes over/when he knows Robert is bringing Beef in, which Beef always appreciates. He’ll talk to Beef like a person when he’s around the office, he’ll have Beef in the break room and ask him what he should make, he’ll talk to the dog about his day.

Punch-Up fucking loves Beef. He is playing fetch with him every time he sees this dog, doesn’t matter what he throws, Beef will be chasing it and bringing it back. Calls Beef his little lad. He’s short enough that Beef can just jump straight into his arms and Punch-Up loves his little greeting that he receives whenever Beef comes in.

Phenomeman has got Beef walking around his feet constantly. Like, very much he is a tripping hazard, and Phenomeman doesn’t seem to understand that Beef is trying to be close because Phenomeman’s depression is radiating off him in unmissable waves, but he appreciates the company.

“Robert, your animal seems to be interested in staying by my feet and he makes noise at me when I don’t give him attention.”

“Yeah, uh. I don’t know what to tell you, man, he likes you.”

dispatch ladies

Prism’s gallery is at least 30% photos and videos of Beef. Beef does not count as a pet with a bad attitude. Prism (and Flambae) will secretly teach Beef silly little commands— she taught him what “fuck it up” means and now whenever she, and only she, says it, Beef will charge at the target and start going play attacking. Beef also walks around the SDN offices with curiously blue-hued lipstick marks all over his forehead, but it wasn’t Prism as far as she’s concerned.

Blonde Blazer will not let Beef leave her side if she gets the chance, that’s literally her son. She’ll have him on her lap during meetings, she carries him everywhere with her and completely dotes on him the whole time and it doesn’t hurt that Robert loves seeing her and Beef get along.

“He can walk by himself, you know.”

“Oh, he doesn’t need to, not when my arms are right here to carry him.”

As much as she hates it, the voice that Robert does for Beef is the only voice she can imagine for him and she has started to talk to him in that voice when they’re alone.

[[shoutout to one of my irls that hunted my account down and can now see everything i post 🫩🫩 but this has been bouncing around in my brain and the parasites needed to post.]]

dispatch boys

Sonar

man handling him 🙂‍↕️ grab him by his tie, pull him closer by his belt and his knees are buckling beneath him.

blatantly and lewdly flirt with him whenever you get a second and by the time he can do anything about it he’ll already barely be able to think straight.

any attention to his bat-hybrid parts. mess with his ears and it is all over for him.

Flambae

scratching & biting. mark that mf UP. dragging your nails across his back is like crack for him.

HANDS IN HAIR <33 pull his hair, run your hands through it, get him on his knees and guide him by his hair and he is a mess.

being vocal. he can and will get upset if he sees you trying to keep yourself quiet, and he will take it as a challenge to try even harder.

Robert

Eye Contact. he will lose ALL his bravado the second you lock eyes with him.

any attention on his neck/collarbones is gonna make him short circuit. do that.

lowkey… his partner being controlling. robert likes being told what to do in bed sorry. i don’t make the rules.

Waterboy

talk to him. tell him literally everything you’re thinking and feeling and it will drive him insane.

use his nameeeee!!! only you and his gramma call him by his real name and hearing you say his full name when no one else does? wow.

just a teensy bit of being mean to him. as a treat. be mean to him as long as you kill it with aftercare. he kinda likes how dizzy it makes him.

Punch-Up

this man LOVES a grabby partner. let him lace your fingers together and then hold them above your head <3

he’s a simpleton just kiss him like crazy all over his face and he will be so content.

opposite of flambae, he kinda goes crazy when you try to be quiet. he wants to hear you, don’t get him wrong, but come on. he’d go nuts about the way you’re focusing all your energy into not trying to be loud as hell because of him.

dispatch girls

Prism

lavish. her in kisses. literally everywhere possible. worship her like a queen and it’ll do crazy things for her ego.

(speaking of ego) PRAISEEE!! even the vaguest of compliments for her with give her shivers.

very specific thing but i think that if you took literally just a second to, like, tuck a stray strand of her hair behind her ear she’d go crazy. she’s getting her freak on with you.

Blonde Blazer

take initiative and communicate OUUUGH. having somebody that can anticipate her needs and have a real conversation will make her lose her mind.

i think she would really just melt if you called her mandy— she will tear you to shreds in the most desirable way imaginable.

tell her you love her. she knows, and you know, but that lingering bit of insecurity surrounding her “blonde blazer” persona will be squashed with how much you remind her you love mandy just the same :3

Coupè

be slow & gentle. coupè almost never gets a chance to just relax, so when it comes to you? you’d better take your time and let her savor it.

hold her face pls and thanks. you are the only person she lets this close to her.

i just think any kind of specific, focused attention would get her. spend like half an hour just locking in doing one thing? she loves the dedication 🙏

d&d with the z-team//

authorsnote: this bit of dialogue from a tf2 comic made me think of flambae so what if they played dnd together

❌ warnings: general swearing and game violence

Robert is the Dungeon Master, obviously. He suggests playing it as a team building activity, and after an hour of playing the entire team started taking it very seriously.

The consistent players are Punch-Up, Flambae, Sonar and Malevola (who co-play a character), Prism, and Waterboy.

The party is made up of a halfling fighter, a tiefling wizard, a drow warlock, an elf bard, and a human druid.

The party couldn’t quite get their footing at first, much like real life, trying to just go off and do whatever they wanted without the rest of the team.

Flambae and Punch-Up will not stop rushing into fights that they’re positive they can take,

“I go in and set them all on fire with my fireball.”

“Okay, you can’t fireball because you don’t have that spell yet.”

“Whatever, I’m fucking made of fire, I’ve done way more complicated shit in real life. I fireball them.”

Robert just sighs and shakes his head, granting him one early fireball. He has seen Flambae do more complicated shit.

Prism and Sonar have been going around scamming people with their combined charm and intimidation as a drow and bard.

Prism has talked her way out of almost every crime she’s committed, or she’s successfully pinned the blame on Flambae, who does not have high enough charisma to argue his case and gets taken to jail.

If Mal is playing her and Sonar’s character, they become a little more cohesive. Malevola loves game combat and will actually put an effort in to fight, but she doesn’t roleplay. And that’s why she and Sonar share a character.

Prism and Flambae are the bane of npc’s, who they will fully flesh out and characterize just to unceremoniously kill them in an unrelated battle. They think it’s hysterical.

Robert gets a little too invested in DM’ing sometimes— god forbid he has an npc flirting with somebody (Flambae) because somebody (Flambae) will forget they’re playing a game and lock tf in to the flirting and it gets awkward for everybody.

Waterboy is basically their scribe, he’s the only one who actually writes down what happen during campaigns, any notable events or loot or anything Robert says to remember, he’s got it and he’s the only one who does.

Prism’s notes are something along the lines of “[Punch-Up] pulled some bullshit on a mission today,” “Robert said something was important…” with a little drawing of her shrugging, while Waterboy’s notes are like they were taken straight from Robert’s handbook.

The Z-Team, admittedly, still kind of plays like a bunch of villains. Look, they’ve been kicking ass as SDN heroes, they deserve a silly game to blow off steam and be a little evil without consequences.

[yuubercharge]

FINALLY SOMEONE WHO GIVES PUNCH UP SOME LOVE that man is fine as hell and I'm tired of ppl getting caught up on his height 😭😭 (I do make fun of him tho) Ehm.. off topic, have you posted your head canons about uhhhhhh what the z team smells like?

THAT’S WHAT I’M SAYIN!!! he’s got an accent, he’s funny, he’s strong, and the dialogue he has with Coupè is proof that he would be a doting boyfriend 🙂‍↕️ idc WHAT his height is 🙏🙏

I have not posted this idea yet but I have sure as hell been thinking about it 😈 the z-team and their signature scents

❌ no warnings :3

👤 characters: sonar, flambae, robert robertson, waterboy, punch-up, phenomeman, prism, blonde blazer, malevola, coupè, invisigal

[[author note fuck you tumblr for deleting half my progress on this draft all you did was make my headcannoning more thought out and powerful.]]

dispatch boys

Sonar usually smells like some kind of musk, bats are naturally kind of foul smelling so I imagine he really tries to cover that. Unfortunately it is always covered with shitty cologne. Like, lathers that shit on, my specific thought is the brand Stetson, which is like wood and fir and I think that Sonar would absolutely choose a “naturey” scent, the problem is that it’s like being hit by a tree that goes to the gym— the smell is pungent and he refuses to change it. If he happens to carry some certain feelings for you, though, you might be lucky enough to catch an orange-leaning citrus scent from him.

Flambae smells like fire, but like a warm kind of bonfire type smell. I think that he doesn’t usually try too hard with his scent because when he’s on fire for 90% of the day, it really doesn’t matter. I imagine him to fuck with scents like whiskey for cologne tbh but this dude absolutely fucks up softer, like, floral scents (like japanese cherry blossom. like, come on, the potpourri line. he loves light flowery smells.) Also a lot of lotions because, yknow, cologne and fire…

Robert unfortunately does smell like dog for the vast majority of the time, but there’s no shot he’ll stop cuddling the hell out of his Beef. If it’s not dog, it’s the lingering mechanical smell or grease from working on the Mecha Man suit. I don’t see him as somebody who cares all that much about his outward appearance— he’s not a slob by any means, he’s just fine to grab a random Old Spice deodorant and call it good without worrying too much about having “the right scent.”

Waterboy smells like the ocean and freshly baked bread. LET ME EXPLAIN. He smells like ocean breeze specifically, more freshwater than saltwater. The bread comes from his Grandma, living with her results in a lot of baking with/being baked for. The man is drowning in fresh dough and treats. I think he would enjoy using softer, fruity kinds of scents— the first one that came to mind was pineapple/coconut because of the inherent association to the beach but please see my vision of Waterboy and coconut.

Punch-Up perpetually smells like he just got out of the shower. He walks around smelling like a spa and you do not understand how. Uses very “fresh” shampoo and cologne scents, cucumber and aloe are some of the main smells you can pinpoint. Occasionally he’ll get that metallic-y smell lingering when he’s got blood on him, but he’s surprisingly good about his upkeep and not walking around SDN smelling like sweat and battle.

Phenomeman smells literally like nothing. And it’s not in a bad way at all, I just really, genuinely think that Phenomeman just doesn’t think about that sort of thing, he doesn’t sweat so he doesn’t smell bad, so he just doesn’t think about the presentation part of it. He’s Phenomeman, he doesn’t need a special smell, he’s literally the Phenomenon of man.

dispatch ladies

Prism is a woman who loves her bold and varied arrangement of scents. She wants people to recognize her smell when she walks down the halls. She’s got a kind of perpetual sickly sweet air around her from her vapes which almost always are either birthday cake or cotton candy, but I imagine her to LOVE very strong, very recognizable smells, things like cherry, almond and honey for the soap/shampoo/lotions she uses.

Blonde Blazer is a vanilla girlie through and through. She loves sweet smells, but she doesn’t love them being overpowering and vanilla hits that perfect middle ground for her. Sweet and floral is what she leans towards but I don’t imagine Blazer as an incredibly bold fragrance user, softer sweet smells like vanilla and the florals that are akin to rose and lily are her absolute favorite.

Malevola smells like cinnamon and the hot tamale candy. She’s very much a spice lover when it comes to scent, and I really just think she might naturally smell like cinnamon and she chooses her fragrances based on what complement that. Also loves the whiskey scent colognes, (something about whiskey that i associate with fire characters i guess) and I think that she’s also a fan of the sort of cedar wood, oaky smells.

Coupè doesn’t love incredibly strong scents, but I do see her as someone who has one or two that she really enjoys. Anything more earthy or natural, she’s drawn to. Things like rain water, moss, lotus, scents that fall on the lighter side. If she’s really feeling crazy, she might have a rose/pine scent going on, but it’s still a very small amount.

Invisigal doesn’t wear a whole lot of cologne/perfume because what’s the point of her being able to disappear if an overbearing smell exposes her anyways? I think that she’d use kind of “abrasive” smells for her shampoos and things, tea tree oil and eucalyptus are the two that come to mind. She actually enjoys the pack that they punch. She’s also and axe body spray/ axe shampoo user those are just the facts.

so this was easily one of my favorite things to write so far if u have any reqs or hcs my ask box is opennnn 🫰

sick days //

[[author note: was going to be just a short sick fic drabble for the whole z-team but i got… a lil carried w flambae’s because i’m sick rn and it got kinda indulgent… so i decided it needed its own post lol, i might still make the whole z-team into a separate, smaller post tho!!]]

❌ warnings: swearing, general discussion of illness/sickness

❣️ pairings: flambae x m!reader

🔢 word count: 1k

Flambae noticed your absence from work almost immediately, ruining his beloved morning routine of bothering you before your shift begins. He hadn’t heard from you at all today and while he knew you were probably fine, he couldn’t shake the feeling that he needed to check on you.

You were fine, of course— well. Fine would be a bit of an overstatement. You weren’t in danger, but you had the worst sickness you had had in ages and you were pretty sure you were on your deathbed with the way it knocked you on your ass, you couldn’t even bring yourself to call out of work.

While laid up on your couch, almost lulling off to sleep despite your pounding headache, you were startled by a knock on your door. You groaned and opted to just ignore it, probably just a salesman or a delivery person. You didn’t have the energy to face people with how shit you were feeling right now.

What you weren’t expecting, however, was for the knock at the door to be coming from somebody with keys to your apartment. So you just closed your eyes and try to fall back asleep, completely missing the sound of your door opening before you feel a hard flick against your forehead and hear the unmistakable voice of your flaming partner.

“Hey, get your lazy ass up. This is why you’re not at work? Just needed to sleep in?” You grumble softly at the noises, shooting Flambae a glare as you just pull your hood over your head and wave him away.

“Ah— I don’t fucking think so, why should we all have to work when you’re sleeping your shift away?” Flambae taps your head again and lightly tugs your hood off your head. “Up. Come on.”

“I’m not going in today.” You wave his hand away again and frown, barely able to keep up with his banter with your sickness. He scoffs and shakes his head again, lightly jostling your shoulder.

“Can’t stay home just cause you’re tired-“

“I’m sick, I’m not going in. Tell the team I’m staying here to die.”

Flambae scoffs once again and rolls his eyes, still not fully believing you until he presses his hand against your forehead to check your temperature, furrowing his brows as he does. “You’re fucking freezing. I thought people burnt up when they were sick.”

You hum softly at the palm against your head, instinctively leaning up into the warm touch and shrugging. “Not everyone, I guess… You don’t get hot when you’re sick, do you?”

“I don’t get sick ever,” He corrects, “My skin does not burn, and my immune system does not fail.”

You can’t help but scoff at that, chuckling softly. “Corny. But lucky…”

You don’t get a response from that, not at first. Instead Flambae just clicks his tongue and shakes his head again, gently nudging you until you’re sitting up. You huff and start to object, leaning all your weight against him as you try to lay back down. “I already told you, ‘m not-“

“Just shut up a second.” Flambae says simply, sitting you up for just a moment and scooting into your former spot before he lets you lay back down, this time with the comfort of his chest beneath your head and his arm slung around your shoulders.

You do exactly as told once you feel his arms wrap around you, burying your face in his chest and sighing. The heat radiating off of him was like a miracle for your headache. “You’re very warm…”

“Yeah, that’s like, my whole thing.”

“You’re lucky it is, cause otherwise I’d kick your annoying ass out and back to work…”

Flambae scoffs again and rolls his eyes, though the soft smile on his face is unmistakably fond as he shrugs. “Oh, am I bothering you? I can go and leave you to suffer—“ He starts to sit up before you beat him to it, clasping your hands on his shoulders to keep him still.

“…No. Stay with me. Dick.”

He hadn’t really planned on leaving, proven by the fact that he was already settling back into his spot on the couch and drawing you in closer. “If you insist. And you say I’m the annoying one.”

You just grumble at him again, burying your face in his chest once more and moving your arms to grab his, halfheartedly guiding them to hold you tighter, wanting to be completely enveloped in the heat. You fall asleep pretty quick after this, the comfort of strong, warm arms around you combined with the soothing rise and fall of Flambae’s breathing knocks you right out.

He doesn’t move once you’re asleep, calls into SDN for the both of you for today so he can spend the day with you. Most of the day is you sleeping while he browses tv and sends Prism about a hundred pictures or videos of you sleeping, snoring on his shoulder with captions like,

“Look at this sick idiot knocked out on me,” and things similar to that. He sends her videos complaining about how you’re drooling on his suit, your chin is jabbing his shoulder, you’re snoring his ear. But he makes absolutely no attempt to move you or himself. He’s fucking whipped and Prism has the proof.

Once you do wake up and feel good enough to let Flambae out of your grip for a second, he’s making you food, he’s grabbing a blanket, he’s making sure you are comfortable and taken care of, and he loves knowing you can rely on him to take care of you. It is unfortunately a massive ego boost for him to be in charge of the care for someone he loves. He doesn’t want to see you doing anything but resting right now and he will not give you even an inch to argue.

put ‘em in a kitchen!! //

when the z-team cooks for you <3

❌ no warnings :p

❣️pairings: gn!reader x the z team boys (except flambae as usual)

👤 characters: sonar, flambae, robert robertson, waterboy, punch- up

Sonar cannot cook for shit, he eats primarily takeout and bugs and as much as you love him, you’d rather eat literally anything else before you subject yourself to cockroaches. Sonar can’t keep expensing the classy dates that he wants to take you on, though, so he decided that he needs to start learning to cook. What he can cook is very basic, but the fact that he has started to learn to cook real meals, (something he never did for himself) just for you makes your heart melt. Even if you do come home to a smoky kitchen half the time he attempts a new dish.

Flambae CAN cook for shit. Not only does he know your favorite meals down to the exact preparation by heart, but he has such a diverse palette that he’s always trying and getting you to try new foods. Cooking is definitely an ego boost for him, not only is he good at it but his fire powers allow him to be showy as hell while he cooks. He’ll make a big deal out of plating, presenting it to you like your own private michelin chef. Prefers to cook at home, but if you do ever go out for a meal, Flambae will do everything short of standing in the kitchen and watching the chef to make sure you’re food is prepared properly.

Robert, similar to Sonar, does not really cook for himself all that often. Between the poverty and the depression, he lives off of instant ramen and microwave dinners for the vast majority of his meals, but microwaved spaghetti can only be made romantic so many times before it gets old. You can cook, and you do, but Robert wants to be able to make food for you just as well as you do for him. He wants to surprise you, buys a cooking book or two full of recipes that are simple but diverse and gets to COOKIN. He’s actually pretty good at it, but I do feel like he’d be the kind of guy to always under/over season a dish and there’s no in between.

Waterboy cannot make a meal without instructions, so when you tell him that you just go with the flow and “measure with your heart”, he genuinely cannot believe it. He gets overwhelmed with multitasking, especially when it comes to something as fickle as food, but he enjoys cooking with you, and you certainly don’t mind writing down some guiding instructions for him to get used to cooking. He’s not a bad cook but he is a very neurotic one, won’t let noodles boil a minute past the time, doesn’t like to put extra seasoning “for good measure”, and god forbid he has to use raw meat in a recipe. Makes for good food, though.

Punch-Up could give or take cooking, honestly. He’s good at it, and he certainly doesn’t mind cooking, but his favorite is cooking with you— showing you how to make some Irish comfort food, the intimacy of sharing a cultural meal and the actual physical closeness in the kitchen is like a drug to him. You’re making bread and have to knead the dough? He’s got a step-stool and he’s right behind you, his hands atop yours and guiding them through the dough. Very messy chef, absolutely does not believe in cleaning as you cook, which he always regrets in the end, but he would clean a thousand messes if it meant another dinner with you.

shutting them up with a kiss//

[because i know that ALL of these mfs would be the type to stop an argument immediately for another kiss]

❌ warnings: swearing, vaguely implicative dialogue.

❣️ pairings: gn!reader x the z team (except flambae who is /m!reader— can we just let him be a literal flaming homosexual)

👤 characters: sonar, flambae, robert, waterboy, punch up, blonde blazer, malevola**, prism

dispatch boys

Sonar is almost too entrenched in his anger to even notice that you’re plotting something— that you’re definitely not listening to what he’s saying. If it was something serious, sure, you’d be listening, but Sonar was going off on yet another tangent about Willem Vanderstenk. You had dared to call his genius (his certified genius) into question, adding a jab about why you didn’t understand why Sonar loved him so much, and it just blew the top off of Sonar’s pot. He’s pacing back and forth, explaining how you just don’t understand Vanderstenk’s vision or what he offers, he’s completely lost in the argument, so when you just step towards him and grab his face, he stops in place immediately.

Before he can start to make another point, you simply pull him down and give him a kiss, just a quick peck that lingers barely long enough to give the man ideas. Suddenly, he’s chasing after you as you pull away, giggling as he hunts for another kiss.

“Got any other points to make about this Vanderstenk?”

“Fuck Vanderstenk, kiss me again-“

Flambae hasn’t said a word yet. Just stares daggers at you from the opposite side of the couch. He knew just how easy he was to get upset and how quickly his temper flared, so he really tries to keep it under control when it comes to you. Unfortunately, him trying so hard to not express his anger just results in him becoming withdrawn and broody. You finally decide to ask him what’s wrong, to which you get nothing response, his eyes just narrow and his arms cross tighter around his chest. So you start to guess what’s upsetting him, and you guess literally every possibility under the sun, which eventually gets to him so he snaps at you and tells you what’s pissing him off.

And it’s the dumbest fucking thing you’ve ever heard. Flambae got upset over trivial things all the time, and usually you’d find it endearing— but you’d find it even more endearing if he wasn’t directing it at you.

But before you can stop yourself from asking it, you just ask him why? You regret the word the second it leaves your mouth, but you really didn’t understand what his problem was. That’s what really gets to him, and before you know it, he’s giving you a rapid fire list of exactly why you pissed him off, talking himself into a frenzy as flames start to rise from his body. Before he can get himself too worked up to completely destroy your couch, you grab his shoulder in an attempt to ground him, leaning in and cutting him off with a kiss.

“Alright, alright, you win, I’m sorry. You’re going to set my cushion on fire. Are you cool now?”

Flambae glares at you but he doesn’t make any attempt to keep ranting at you, but he will demand that you give him one (or several) more make up kisses.

Robert actually had a pretty good reason to be upset right now— you got sent out for a call that you were not equipped for and you decided to just brave it alone instead of calling for backup. You succeeded your mission, but not without being beat senseless. You came back to base battered and bruised, you couldn’t even bring yourself to look Robert in the eyes with the scared and disappointed look in his eyes.

“Why didn’t call for backup? You could have died out there.”

“I’m fine, I finished the call, didn’t I?”

“Look at yourself-!” Robert’s voice almost cracks as he gazes at your bruised and bloody body and suit, running a hand through his hair. “Just because you didn’t die this time doesn’t mean you’ll always be this lucky, and you’re not dying on me. I’m not letting it happen again.”

Robert almost doesn’t realize the implications of what he said at first, but you both know the significant amount of loss that he’s gone through, and one more would just completely break him. So you sigh and swallow your pride, closing the space between you two and pulling him into a hug, wrapping your arms around his neck and kissing him softly.

Robert looks unimpressed but his arms still find their way around your waist, holding you securely against him. “That’s not gonna get me to stop worrying.”

“I know it’s not… It’s an apology.”

Waterboy doesn’t like arguing with you or being mad at you, but you’ve helped him put a lot of work into improving his self esteem and his own needs, and as uncomfortable as it makes him, he does come to you when he’s upset. He’s very gentle about it, never wants to make you feel bad for doing something upset him, but because he’s just so used to repressing his anger, sometimes he’ll get himself too worked up when trying to explain which makes him frustrated or overwhelmed, and that just makes him feel that much worse.

And he’s getting himself worked up again, almost to a point where he’s back to stuttering incoherently like he used to when he had gotten pretty good at explaining himself to you. So you just gently grab his face to make him falter, giving him the softest of kisses, pulling away and gently holding his hands.

“There’s no rush, Herm. I won’t be upset.”

Punch-Up isn’t the most intimidating man when he’s mad— especially not when you’re two feet taller than him and you know that you have no reason to be intimidated. But especially right now. Colm was upset about something, lecturing you with a pointed expression as he stuck his finger up in your face. You took him seriously when he had something to say, when he had something serious to say, but he was far too bothered by something silly for you to not want to laugh at it. In the middle of his stern lecture you just lean down and press a kiss yo the top of his head, which makes his voice falter off immediately as he grumbles.

“Yer not fuckin’ takin’ me serious.”

“Yes I am. Keep going, I’m listening.”

He considers it for a moment but once he had a second to breathe he realizes that maybe he was being a little over dramatic, and now he’s just a little bit embarrassed, huffing softly as you just grin and soak it in.

dispatch girls

Prism isn’t an overly affectionate person when it comes to being physical, mostly when it comes to PDA, but even when it’s the two of you alone, you have to work for it. She likes to tease a little, play a little game and make you earn it. So imagine her surprise when you’re listening to her complain about her day, ranting and raving about all that bothered her on her shift before she throws in something you did that pissed her off, too. It was something silly and off handed you said to purposefully get a rise out of her while on break, and you had completely forgotten about it. She had not. You’re listening to her complain about that thing you did that she just couldn’t let go, taking your chance to swoop in and catch her off guard. In the middle of talking you simply lean in and press a quick peck to the corner of her mouth, stopping her in her tracks completely, scoffing and stuttering as she crosses her arms, the slightest pout spread across her face.

“Bitch, you’re lucky I like you.”

Blonde Blazer and you were already in a fight for a couple hours, a weird energy lingering every time you pass each other in the SDN halls. She just quickly puts her head down and goes about her business. It drove you insane, but you had both said your piece and were still at an impasse.

During break, though, you can’t get the thought out of your head to go talk to her. Work was already hard to get through some days with Blazer’s company, but you’re downright miserable since she’s avoiding you. You find her sitting in her office, surprised to see you, but not telling you to leave.

“Look, I can’t do this all day. It’s driving me crazy not talking to you.”

Blazer sighs and frowns, a slightly guilty look coming across her face. You were both stubborn, both wanted the other person to see their point of view so desperately that you both get entrenched in your own arguments. But you hate whatever this is, the argument had been lingering for hours by now. You just gently shut her door and walk up behind her, resting your chin on her head and your arms around her shoulders before pressing a kiss to her cheek, to which she relaxes a bit. Her hand gently comes up to hold the side of your face, returning the favor with an equally soft kiss that’s both a promise and an apology.

Coupè not mentioned bcos i really don’t think she’d be the type to be super into spontaneous/super physical affection. SHE shuts you up with a kiss. you don’t do that shit to her.

[yuubercharge]

hard day? //

[how the dispatch boys comfort you after a shitty day]

❌ warnings: vaguely suggestive dialogue

❣️reader is gender-neutral for everybody but flambae

👤 characters: sonar, flambae, robert robertson, waterboy, punch-up

Sonar definitely doesn’t realize you’re not just a little annoyed from work at first so he tries to poke some fun at you. Once you finally snap and tell him to back the hell off though, his tune changes. His voice softens and his whole demeanor scrunches down the way someone does when they’re approaching a stray animal. He doesn’t let you try to shove him away or yell at him again, he’ll just wrap his arms around you in a tight hug. He knows he isn’t great with advice, or with being serious, but he wants to be there for you. And he’s more than willing to learn. Sonar is probably the most likely to get you to really talk about your feelings just because he’s so afraid of being pushy it almost comes off as inviting. Will 100% take your side about whatever is making you upset (even if you were in the wrong about something), he’ll just shake his head and scoff at the opposing party and their nerve to make you upset. Honestly I kinda imagine Sonar to be like an emotional support animal- when you’re sad, he’s there, laying on top of you with his chin on your chest and his arms around your waist. (bonus points if you’ve got some boobies on you because sonar will literally never want to move his face ever again)

Flambae is predictably asking who made you upset before he does anything else, fully prepared to go beat down whoever dared upset you. When he learns there’s no source other than your own head, he softens up and hugs you tight to him (what else are those big old arms for?). I like to think that for all his showy, stubborn, dickheaded-ness, when it comes to his boyfriend he is very soft and delicate. His voice gets quiet and he pulls away just to cradle the side of your face and meet your eyes. He doesn’t always have what he thinks is very good advice in emotional situations but he makes sure to tell you that he does care and he wants to know and wants to help. Very much headcanon him as an acts of service type of guy to show that he cares, he will do any trivial little request you ask of him, he’s 1000% making comfort foods for you to make you feel better. I think he would try to distract you and cheer you up but in a very “coach pep talk” way; things like “hey, superheroes don’t cry. chin up. this won’t last forever.” but he means it with all the love he’s really trying.

Robert is all too familiar with that sad, tired look in your eyes. Not only has he seen it on you more than once, but he’s seen that same look in his own eyes in the mirror. He doesn’t really bring attention to the fact that you’re acting different, but that’s not for a lack of noticing, no. He knows that if he tries to comfort you, you’ll just deny anything is wrong and beat yourself up, and he wouldn’t want to stand idly by to watch you do that. He just slings an arm around your shoulder and pulls you close as you go to his house. Admittedly, it’s a bit of a depressing setting for your current mood, Robert knows all too well that his apartment itself is t all that uplifting. But the second you close the door behind you, he’s lifting up Beef and holding him in front of your face.

“Hold a Beef. Always makes me feel better.”

You can’t help but let the dog scramble into your arms, chuckling as he licks your face, barking softly. Robert doesn’t ask what’s wrong directly, he knows you’ll tell him if you need to, but he doesn’t try to over do the comfort if that makes sense. He’s very much a “well, this is how you’re feeling. so, feel your feelings and we’ll try again when you feel better.” type guy. He doesn’t want to make your hardships a big deal.

Waterboy notices something is off immediately. Your face doesn’t light up with that soft smile he adores so much when you see him and his arms that had previously been up to hug you drop awkwardly at his sides. The first thing he asks is if you’re okay, followed by the onslaught of “what happened, who did it, what’s wrong,” he isn’t trying to overwhelm you, he just wants to be fully equipped for you. But when you shy away from talking, he doesn’t push. He for sure tries to distract you when you’re down, does his best to make you laugh because he knows better than most that, no matter how certainly he knows how amazing you are, it can be hard to hear when you don’t believe it yourself. But he will be sure to remind you he cares and will check in every so often if you’re up to talking yet.

Punch-Up, like Waterboy, senses something off in your vibe the second he sees you. He doesn’t ask what’s wrong right away- knows that prying doesn’t do much for you when you’re not feeling well. You two silently go home together where Punch Up promptly begins making a cozy bed on the couch for you, probably some sort of warm drink with a movie. Definitely physically affectionate, massaging all of the tense spots in your back, in your shoulders, and after the massage he’s content to just hold your hand and run his thumb over your knuckles, just to remind you he’s still there. It’s hard to stay stressed when he’s lathering all of his attention on you, resigning yourself to his care as you let your eyes close, head lulling to rest atop Punch Up’s (who’s now sitting deadly still as to not wake or startle you) own head.
