#z team dispatch

every time watermech fall asleep together on their hangouts/sleepovers, z-team try to draw on their faces with markers and take pictures of them. they can't really do it on herm because he's constantly wet, but they go CRAZY on robert's face. just the dumbest stuff ever.

NOW WITH A BONUS SCENE!

Sonar glanced at Emma, the bright white of his eyes almost glowing. She grinned at him and admired the way the light and shadows danced across his expression. His eyes caught hers and held them while he took a drag off the cigarette.

“This time last year, I was pretty sure every friend I ever had was either dead, on the way there, or halfway across the country,” Emma said. “How times change.”

He shifted so that his posture mimicked hers, arm propped up on the back of the bench, knee up on the seat, his foot folded behind his knee. His tie went crooked, his dress shirt stretching across his chest. Smoke leaked in streams out his nostrils, and Emma grinned at him.

“This time last year, Mal and I were figuring out low-risk scams and jobs to scrape by, and she was doing her damnedest to keep me from an early grave,” Sonar said. “Looks like we both got the good end of the stick.”

“That’s a good way to look at it.”

Read this chapter!

or

Reader draws them in his free time whenever he's not being dispatched to calls and one day the sketchbook gets leaked via someone taking pictures when reader's away and now it gets shown to the Z-team gc

Even worse if it's like they're already in a relationship with them and the sketches aren't as innocent, some are just artistic nudity but others are probably not safe for SDN'S HR department

High-key though they'd be really good muses rhetorically -🦷

Wait, SDN has an HR?

Prism definitely was the one to take the pictures and sent them to the group chat.

Waterboy is mostly enamored by how good you are with anatomy, not even processing how the drawings could be seen as sexual.

Robert feels the same way about it, noticing how good you are, but he definitely can see the implications.

like he has such a large arsenal of stuff he can do and can adapt to a variety of fighting styles because of the differences of each element and their own specific strengths and weaknesses. knowing when to stand his ground with earth, when to go with the flow of water, practicing restraint with fire, and flexibility through air. and hes often paired with waterboy and golem who just passively give him more ammo to deal with so it doesnt take very long for him to be one of sdn's most dispatched heros.

even better if hes short and just an absolute golden retriever about it too. just so happy coming into work and getting to help people while kicking ass to the point where he comes off as cocky. would love it if you could include (romantic) flambae, golem, and royd. plus (platonic) waterboy, robert, and chase. if you like writing for this ill def ask more related to this lil self-insert of mine. tysm for your awesome writing <3

I love the idea of the reader just hopping on top of Golem and then using your powers to fly him around.

I think Flambae would fall in love immediately, both because of your powers matching up with his, but also because you're so small. It's pretty similar with Royd too, he loves the size difference and that you're so helpful because of your metal bending.

I think it really depends on how much they're like AM.

(Also pls tell me if that little anon tag is taken if you know, thank you :3)

I haven't gotten an anon with that combo, I think it looks really nice.

I think they would probably poke fun at it, at least most of them only before they get to know you.

Robert would probably have a meeting with them to tell them to stop it and to explain to Phenomaman what tics even are. He'd probably explain it in a way that would both help Phenomaman understand and make the others feel bad for making jokes. Waterboy is the only one there who doesn't actually need the lecture.

I think it's a funny thought that you get close to Waterboy, to where he learns how to poke fun about tics with you, rather than at you, similar to him making jokes about his own stutter and anxiety issues. Eventually he knows your boundaries on certain jokes and is close enough to joke about your tics with you. It would piss the team off to no end to see that you're laughing with Waterboy about the very thing that they were lectured on.

Of course after a while they would also get closer to you and continue to joke about your tics in ways that they know aren't upsetting.
