Chapter Text
J didn't know much about Michael.
Of course, neither did Tessa.
He had left the manor when he was 17, much to the dismay of James and the unapproval of Louisa. Tessa was only 6 at the time. It's been 6 years since Tessa had seen her brother, and due to a... Incident involving a limo, Cyn, and a makeshift ramp, the Manor had a huge hole in the wall. So, being the good parents that James and Louisa were, They sent Tessa, who of course brought her drones along, to go live with Mike until the repairs had finished.
When they got to Michael's house, J wasn't expecting much. He had to be, what, 23 now? And living on his own in Australia. N, V, J, U and Cyn held Tessa's bags, despite Tessa reassuring them that she could hold them herself. Tessa walked up to the door, and knocked.
It wasn't long before Mike answered the door.
"Who the hell is... Tessa?"
"Hey, Mike.."
Mike quickly held the door open for Tessa and her drones to walk in, before closing the door. "Tess, why... why are you here?" Mike asked. Tessa shifted, before J stepped up. "Michael, There was an.. Incident at the Manor." J cleared the static from her throat. "I see.. And Please, J.. Call me Mike."
It didn't take long before Mike helped Tessa and her drones get settled in. "So, a Ramp, A Limo, and... Cyn caused a huge hole in the wall, causing you to be forced to stay here.." Mike rubbed his temples. "Sorry, Mike.." Tessa rubbed her arm. Mike took notice of this. "Tess, let me see your arm?" Mike said, gently taking Tessa's left arm, seeing the bruise. "Jesus... What has Louisa been doing to you..?" Mike murmured. "If I may, Micha- Mike, Lady Louisa has been.. chaining Tessa up." J said. "Mhm..." N said sadly. "Next time I see her, I'll give her a piece of my mind.." Mike glanced at the clock. "Well, I'm going to go to bed.. you can too, if you want. Night Tess." Mike got up from the table. "Night Mike!" Tessa said.
Mike laid in his bed. Tessa had fallen asleep already, her drones sleeping beside her. Louisa chained his sister up.. it didn't seem fair. Mike opened his sleeping pills and took them, laying down and going to sleep.
