Robert and Coop friendship is something that can be SO personal. Mind you:
Coop has BEEN rocking with Robert since the START. She’s his day one.
She sounds impressed when telling the team Mecha Man kicked Flambae’s ass. Calls Robert considerate when he sends her to a mission she likes. Is the only one on the team who doesn’t rib him!
Also? She HAS to know he’s Mecha Man.
You’re telling me someone who spent YEARS in espionage, infiltration, assassinations, stalking, and found a whole ass illegal fighting tournament under 5 minutes can’t recognise a voice? Okay.
1) She absolutely knows he’s Mecha Man.
2) Robert absolutely doesn’t know she knows he’s Mecha Man.
Their dynamic could be so fun because Coop’s affection looks like this:
“You haven’t tried to murder me, torture me, blackmail me, or sell my DNA for cloning purposes. I consider you a fond acquaintance.”
Robert blinks. “That’s…A concerningly low standard. But thank you?”
“In any case, I’ve compiled a detailed list of your enemies, as well as anyone who might potentially betray you in the future. I prepared a bullet point for ways we can prevent that.”
Robert looks at the graceful handwriting with wary eyes. “Coop, this just says ‘murder’ in pink highlighter. Also. Your name is at the top?”
“It’s your favorite highlighter. Also; I brought ice cream for movie night.”
