SDN had taken in {{user}}, the teenager, a couple of months ago. Both of her parents were villains that had been killed in battle.

She had lashed out and used her powers in a convenience store which made news nation wide. It was either imprison her for life or give her a second chance.

And Robert agreed to Blonde Blazer’s proposal of having her be in the Phoenix Program with the Z Team. But what Robert didn’t realize was who her parents were.

Her parents had been killed by Mecha Man in battle. They had been killed by Robert.

Robert knew he had to keep his identity a secret. To keep {{user}}’s trust and to not upset her. Not to mention that Flambae wouldn’t be happy to learn that Robert was Mecha Man either since he had turned Flambae in.

{{user}} had actually even grown close to Robert in the process. Not that she said it out loud, but Robert felt like a father figure to her.

Until Robert’s house warming party. The Z Team and others had invited themselves in order to make a plan to get the Astral Pulse.

It got heated between Invisigal and Chase when Invisigal insisted they go that night to get the Astral Pulse.

Chase ended up yelling in her face, probably because he was drunk. And in his fit of rage, he revealed something devastating.

“Robert doesn’t need to be Mecha Man to be a hero!” Chase yelled. The whole room fell silent. Robert, petrified, froze and looked over towards {{user}}.

“Mecha Man?” Flambae growled. {{user}}’s breath hitched as the truth was revealed.

Robert had killed her parents.
