Summary
When King Aultcray had proposed the plan to summon all four cardinal heroes, he had already devised plans to deal with that blasted Shield Devil. But when the Shield is attached to a woman, he finds himself faltering. A new plan is in order, one that pushes away the girl until she gives up on ever returning to Melromarc.
Meanwhile, three of the heroes are continually dumbfounded as they discover more about this world. For every similarity to a game, there's one large difference. And it usually connects to the outlier of the legendary saints, Naofumi Iwatani.
For her part, Naofumi knew she wouldn't be much help in raids or boss fights with only a shield. End-game classes rarely, if ever, used only a shield. So she planned to do what she did best: collect rare items and manipulate the in-game economy.

Summary
(Previously titled You’re Too Sweet I Need to Drink You With Liquor)
Wade doesn’t “<3” NY. In fact, he hates New York. It smells like shit, the sewer rats are the ones who really run things, and Jay Z was only partially right; it’s a concrete jungle where dreams are made of, except there’s nothing you can do.
So after Weasel, Domino, and pretty much the entirety of Sister Margaret’s decided to relocate to an old bankrupt Blockbuster Video on Manhattan’s east side, Wade almost didn’t go with them. Except he absolutely did, because he likes paychecks. It’s totally not because he’s pathetically lonely and would miss his friends. His negative opinion of New York is proven to be 42069% accurate when, within a month of moving, he’s kidnapped by a new off-brand Weapon X group that immediately puts a microchip in his skull to control him.
There is one good thing about New York, though, and he's snarky, wears unfairly tight red and blue spandex, and lives rent-free in Wade's head. Unfortunately, 'Temu' Weapon X wants their brand-new microchipped immortal murder slave to find Spider-Man's identity and all of his weaknesses.

Just one bite; to taste, and let go.
Or, the on-field flirting is getting a little ridiculous.

Summary
Robert Robertson III spent seven years believing the Mecha Man suit was the only extraordinary thing about him-the tech, the mission, the legacy, the perfect hero, the perfect soldier, the perfect legacy bearer for a family that never lived past forty. He patrolled the streets of Los Angeles until his bones ached and his bank account died, clinging to a hero name that cost him everything except the stray dog who refused to leave him. But the cold in his veins was never normal. The frost on his glass, the way he never felt heat, the way fire bent strangely around him. They were inheritance. Old inheritance.
And the first person to recognize what he is? - Flambae. A pyrokinetic disaster with a wicked grin, a criminal record, and enough fire to melt steel, or warm someone who can’t feel heat at all.
Robert isn’t looking for a partner. He isn’t looking for a destiny. He definitely isn’t looking for a fire-powered menace who thinks his existential crisis is “kinda cute.” But flame seeks cold, cold seeks flame, and sometimes the person who burns the world down is the only one who can thaw what’s frozen inside you.

Summary
“Flambae.” Robert’s eyes widen as he tries and fails to keep his voice from pitching with anxiety. He won’t beg over the group line, but it’s a close thing. “Flambae, I’m giving you an order. If you don’t wait for the others, I’m benching you.”
Robert can feel eyes on him; his coworkers must be turning at his audible distress, but he can only concern himself with the floor opening up beneath his shitty office chair and threatening to swallow him whole.
“Fuck you.” Flambae doubles down with real, tangible conviction.
When a red icon pops up alerting Robert that Flambae has turned his earpiece off, his ribs cave in on themselves. On screen, Flambae erupts and is gone in the blink of an eye.
