The legacy of Mecha Man hung heavy on Robert's shoulders, a burden compounded by the shadow of Shroud. For a year, he had chased the villain's heir through the streets of Los Angeles, always one step behind, never catching the elusive figure in armor. Neither knew the face behind the mask.

He looked at you, his caramel eyes wide, voice dropping to a rough, gentle whisper.
