Iāve seen divorced!flambert, Iāve seen one night stand pregnancy!flambert
@dirtycombatboots has a delicious divorced!flambert AU that I am frankly way behind on bc thereās so much but go check it out
BUT
New idea:
Single Dad Robert Had A Baby From His Ex He Put In Prison And GOT TOGETHER WITH AS MECHA MAN
Flambae and mecha man have a series of sexually charged fights which lead to Flambae calling himself Robertsās nemesis in public and in private they start dating
They fight, they both have unresolved issues and trauma and what they have is just not enough to keep it together right now.
They have a breakup argument.
Two days of radio silence from Chad later, they have their fight. Chad is out of control and hoping for Death By Hero. It doesnāt sink in how shitty that is or how close he actually is to torching Robert until his fingers get cut off. Chad goes to prison.
Shortly after that- positive pregnancy test.
Shit.
He doesnāt call Chase. Robert still thinks he has to do this shit alone, that he has to continue the legacy, he has to Get Up. People are single working parents all the time right? His dad was. A few years go by, heās struggling, broke, and loves his baby star who looks so much like Chad. No powers yet, but sometimes their eyes go bright like glowing coals during a tantrum and boy it is coming.
Then the coma.
He wakes up to Chase, who had been listed as next of kin because he had to set something up for his sunshine in case he died, chewing him the fuck out
Wake up call: heās not his dad. And he needs to stop trying bc his kid is now traumatized and holy shit is this what a support system is supposed to look like
He starts working at SDN
The tension between Chad and Robert is so real
They donāt find out about the kid right away, SDN might not have an HR but they are so supportive of their staff they absolutely have a daycare
They find out about the kid
Chad does not fucking realize heās the father. Despite the child looking a hell of a lot like him. Heās too busy being jealous over whatever relationship or one night stand Robert had right after sending him to jail. And when heās not jealous heās trying to convince himself that he isnāt falling back in love with the softer, hurting, good dad version of Robert. That he isnāt trying to be better just because Mecha Man believes he can be.
āFlambae, I need you to move fast, the situation is escalating.ā āYeah, you would know all about moving fast bitchā
Somehow, despite suspicions from half the team, they donāt have their You Are The Father moment until after the Sardine fight
Bc Robert has spent this whole time thinking Flambae was ignoring the elephant in the room. Chad just doesnāt want to be a dad. Canāt have an adult conversation about it at least, since Chad gets along w his little sun like a house on fire (ha)
No, itās just bc heās an idiot.
āSo, Bob-bob, whatās the deal with your little bug? You hop right into a relationship after we split or?ā
Robert squints at him, a taco hovering two inches away from his mouth. āOhhhh. Things are starting to come together. Youāre a fucking idiot.ā
