  Summary

  What if during the 2nd explosion of the Mechsuit, Flambae was there instead of Malevola? He burned open a hole to get into the lab with Royd, and actually ends up suffering a huge consequence for this decision, disabling him of any hero work for the near future. Royd helps him navigate around this as he appoints himself to be Flambae's personal babysitter while he recovers. Flambae also has to process that his feelings for Robert will never be reciprocated.
